You're Special....Who made this song!

Is was a late 80's (or was it in the 90's??) R & B slow song titled "You're Special". At least I think that was the name of it, LOL. I remember them singing it over and over in the damn chorus.

Anyone know who who made it??.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply AlexdeParis & Harlepolis, neither song was the one I'm looking for, the song was done by a man or male group..

You don't mean "Brass In Pocket" by the Pretenders, do you? Nothing about what you've said accurately describes the song, but it's the first thing I thought of.

You're looking for "Special" by the Temptations - 1989.

I love this song! cool

"You're Special, to me, So Special to me."This 1989 release marked the return of lead singer Ali "Ollie" Woodson after the third departure of Dennis Edwards. In many respects, Special is a business-as-usual, mid- to late-'80s Temptations release. But, of course, that's not a bad thing. With the raspy-voiced Woodson, the group had a more cohesive sound and polish. Special, in fact, attempts to connect the dots between light new jack swing and soulful L.A. pop with mixed though fun results. After the initial shock, if not horror, of hearing Melvin Franklin shout, "Let's kick it," "Friends," "All I Want From You," and "She's Better Than Money" are good but hardly influential. Not surprisingly, this edition of the group was truly adept with romantic ballads and L.A. pop this close to corny. The melodic and fun "Loveline" and the poignant "Soul to Soul" clearly display their three-dimensional harmony, and Woodson is in great form. The CD release also featured "OAO Lover." With most of the new jack swing innocuous and the synth production suitably smoothed-out, fans will be more than satisfied with Special.
