I have the single for this song and their next timeless classic, Baby, don't forget my number! Speaking of MV... it is ironic that when the song Blame it on the Rain video came out... I was SINCERELY skeptical. I didn't believe that that voice came out of that little pretty yellow man with blue eyes.
I know this is a stereotype... but a Gerald Levert type voice seldom come out of the high yellow Prince type or Smokey Robinson type... they almost always sing falsetto. The Debarge brothers also come to mind. sorry but that is my opinion [Edited 11/25/07 17:15pm] "Remember, one man's filler is another man's killer" -- Haystack | |

I just knew some smart alec was gonna point that out.  Actually, I should take that out of the list and replace it with another classic which has gone unmentioned...
You Can Call Me Al - Paul Simon Let me also give a shout out to this overlooked gem...

Where are all the "who-oh-oh"'s and "Na-na-na"'s? 
You people need more Michael Cretu "Samurai"'s, or "Self-Control"'s on your lists. | |

ahhh, VA is here... I wondered what would be your list since you really love the funk... and we mucst be close in age... because I remember and jammed to much of the same music you talk about. I don't remember these particular songs... but know just about every artist well except Kano and Rafael Cameron. I will have to look them up and the other selections to hear them. Loved Lakeside I have their vinyl (vinyl... ) album "Lakeside""Remember, one man's filler is another man's killer" -- Haystack | |

It was an uptempo jam from 1980 that sounded very spacey and futuristic with an electronic robot voice that kept saying....."I'm ready, I'm ready, just for you". In the early 1990s, Tag Team sampled the intro of the song all throughout their hit "Whomp, There It Is". Do you remember the very Prince sounding "Something About You" by Ebonee Webb? You're a good one if you remember that one. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Not all of us overlooked the "na"s. Whoops. I just realised "Who's That Girl" has "la-la-la"s, not "na-na-na-"s, but who's counting? “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”
