Toto ft. Cheryl Lynn is the business!!! I just don't understand why it didn't become a hit...
How would you define the word "Hit"?
It went to #48 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and #18 on the R&B charts.
It was also played constantly the year it came out... "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" | |

I meant it should have been bigger than that.

Yes. It should have been. "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" | |

Great song by a very good band. Cheryl Lynn was icing on the cake.
It also later brought us this gem:

I hated Lyte's version-how many versions of this song are there? "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

It sure was. It was all over the radio at the time. Andy is a four letter word. | |

I did too. Nothing like a rapper to ruin a good song. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Everything about "Poor Georgie" is fantastic: the message, the clever sampling, the delivery... it was truly Lyte's finest hour. Hip-hop isn't even half as good as this song nowadays. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Of course, the remix of Joe's "All or Nothing" features a sample:

I've heard some smooth jazz versions, but I don't know who they were by.

Toto was relatively new on the scene when this record was released. I believe it was a single release off their very first album. They were pretty much a Pop/Rock band. "Georgy Porgy" was more of a groover and they had a female R&B singer sharing the vocals. It was just different from everything else on that album. Maybe that's why the public didn't initially buy it? I'm not sure because I remember it getting heavy radio play back in '78. But, the chart performance on the Pop side didn't show what was happening at radio. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

Really loved this when it came out. "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato
