Many years since I heard this...until I bought the album recently and instantly recognized it. Deserves to be heard in this forum... along with Blue Train and others. biggrin

I was surprised when I heard this song for the first time.Sheila's vocals are excellent on this tune,and it was refreshing to see her singing a sultry,sexy R&B slow jam.It's a gorgeous,well-composed song that is more soulful than anything she had done previously.

I bought the CD for 1€ ages ago and didn't really think much of it. I don't really think much of it to this day, to be honest. This track, "Wednesday Like A River", "Soul Salsa" and "Love On A Blue Train" are some of the better tracks on it. It's not hard to see why she started to feel like being a pop artist wasn't her thing after all (yeah, I know about the physical problems she had as well).

SoulAlive

I think this album (Sheila E.) is her best work.It's a shame that,when it was released,she had already put her solo career on hold to play drums for Prince.This is the album that could have turned her into a solo superstar.There were plenty of strong,potential singles on the record ("Faded Photographs","Love On A Blue Train","Pride and the Passion").
