One of the best tunes EVER!

I always thought it was very much like a Rufus / Chaka Khan track.

Vocal arrangement is very Khan.

Thank you for putting up that screen rushing07. I'm totally new with doing all of that with youtube. I've know of this song for years and didn't know who did it till this weekend. I've had it on repeat for days.

Love the song and album. I need to transfer my vinyl to CD since the CD is, like, nonexistent.

Sharon Bryant has admitted more than once that she's from the "Chaka Khan" school. Just like Vesta, Meli'sa Morgan, Angela Winbush, Sandra St. Victor and Lisa Fisher.

As for Atlantic Starr, I think they lost one of their origins when she left the group, so to speak. It went downhill for them after that. She on the other hand said that she's more comfortable being a "session singer" as opposed to a lead singer.

That song is one THE BEST songs from them among..

"Love Me Down"
"Am I Dreaming?"
"Send For Me"
"Touch A Four Leaf Clover" - Which is my absloute FAVE from them

My boyfriend was crackin' on their album names. He said since they have Radiant and Brilliance they need to release an album called Effervescence.

Right. Very expensive imports. That's why I threw in the "like."

I'm seeing Atlantic Starr in concert next weekend Not sure if they will perform this song.

Harlepolis said:

Ditto, I love this song, they were a good group, they had some great records.

SoulAlive said:

Oh wow, hopefully they will. Atlantic Starr was a cool band. My mom had the album with the song "Secret Lovers" in it. Was it "As the Band Turns"?

purplecam said:

Yes. That was their last album with A&M Records before switching over to Warner.

daPrettyman said:

Ahhh cool. Thanks daPrettyman! I liked that album a lot back in the day.
