I remember trying to redo the video.

This song was hott! I can still jam to this!!!

Once again we have Babyface at his finest on this 1 he he. Love the percussion and bassline on the extended version....

Oh, yes. Roses are Red was my summer jam back then. Saw them live at the State Fair of Texas back in '88. I think they're from Dallas, my hometown.

Here's a slow jam by them that I used to like too!

summer of '88 jam LA and Babyface's songs are so infectious and catchy.You hear these songs and you can't get the hook/chorus out of your head.

oh hell yes I couldn't had been no more than 5 or 6 when that came out yet I remember it being played on the radio regularly back then.

This song was originally given to the whispers who
turned it down.

I wonder why they turned down a great song like this It would have fit perfectly on their 'Just Gets Better With Time' album.It woulda been a big hit just like "Rock Steady".

this my moms "now this is real music",music. cuttin a rug lol

phunkdaddy said:

hmm interesting, it still would had been a hit with the Whispers recording it.

SoulAlive said:

I remember L.A and Face talking about years ago on video soul. I believe
they just wanted a rocking uptempo jam like Rock Steady versus something
mild like Roses are Red. Hey Rock Steady worked.

Classic song.

Isn't the rumor that the groups switched songs? I think they both would've been hits no matter who sang them.
