Forgotten 80s R&B song of the day: "I'm Gonna Get Over You" by Sweet Obsession (1988)

Who remembers this song? It got alot of airplay in 1988.In the 80s,there were so many R&B girl groups,but most of them faded away after only one or two hits (Madame X,Lace,etc).This song wasn't half-bad,even though it now sounds horribly dated,thanks to those annoying late-80s production gimmicks.

This song was like a late 80's version of the sos band sound.
I know they had a slow song that sounded like one of prince's songs from
this same album. I think it was being in love ain't easy which was eerily
similar to the beautiful ones.
Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint

RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.
