Beautiful song. Minnie is still missed.

I wanna be inside her love <3
Lovely song. Is this a Stevie produced track? Its got the simplicity, and the feel. The Rhodes rides my soul on this song. soul ladies of today, if you wanna be sexy, just do whatever Minnie did on this song At this point in history, we have a choice to make
To either, walk the path of love, or be crippled by our hate -Stevie Wonder | |

Supposedly, the radio stations back then freaked out when they heard the song because they thought it was extremely sexual when it wasn't, so they banned it. Here's what he said: "All I can say is we understood that was going to happen when we wrote the song" Ware says chuckling slyly at the memory. "Minnie was just as daring as I was."
"I had that song title for many years" Ware continues. "When Minnie said she wanted to sing something that had a very sensuous yet classy message, I told her about my idea. This idea came from me going to church as a little boy. Whenever a sermon was almost over, there would be this point where the organ would play real soft, you could hear pin drop and the vibe would be completely hypnotic. The pastor would say 'Won't you come inside the lord' and people would stand up - eyes closed and arms outstretched - as if they were being guided to the pulpit. "Thats why whenever somebody mentiones "Inside My Love" - in as much as the dilemma that people tend to have sex with god - I always say that the real misconception is that we're doing something wrong when we're doing one or the other. Its always been quite clear to me that whereever you go with your heart can never be wrong. Hopefully, myself and people I've worked with like Minnie, Dick and Marvin, have said something that touched some nerves and will continue to touch some nerves" | |

I always thought it was a sexual song too
I mean "you can see inside me will you come inside me do you wanna ride inside my love" but what about "come to my garden"
anyway, Inside My Love is musical bliss but it's "Baby This Love I Have" that turns me into a bitch  because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." | |
