Some of my barkays favorite ballads are mean mistreater from
the money talks album. Anticipation, attitudes, lovers should never fall in love, make believe lover, and seems like i'm falling in love. When you funk as hard as the barkays used to it is easy to see why they were never taken serious as a balladeers like the isleys or ewf. Those gap band ballads were great too.

My uncle had it on vinyl but i went through his collection and could not find it. He said he did not know what happened to it. I was wondering what album was that from. Light me up isn't a ballad though. Don't laugh at my funk

Now I remember! It's the opener to Sun Power. Hadn't listened to that album for awhile and for some reason I totally forgot about this cut. Only Sun cut with 'Light' in the name that I could think of was Light Of The Universe. Got a near mint copy of Sun Power on orange vinyl  It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

I'm afraid it's just gonna be cheesy 80's synth funk...
