Well, we knew it was coming sadly. Damn you Quincy Jones!


Customer Reviews
Akon at his best!
by youastupid
Akon always is outstanding with his songs but this is just incredable. A must get, if this song is discovered by the right people it will be a hit. [by the way the whole song is sang by akon, its produced by Quincy Jones]


Where has originality in music gone?
by DJ DLOVE
He has taken a classic and destroyed it. COME UP WITH SOMETHING ORIGINAL PEOPLE and let a good classic remain just that. Today's music is in a sad state! The Brother's Johnson are probably just as pissed as I am. And Quincy Jones should be ashamed of himself to put his name on this.



Why?
by Akinu
Why must people ruin a masterpiece? Some things should never be tampered with and this song is one of them especially by the artist featured. Sorry, this is a very poor contemporary attempt to re-create history. Nice try but PLEASE STOP!

listed in the credits: this song contains samples of the original brilliantly performed track by The Brothers Johnson and written by the underrated Shuggie Otis. We tried to make a better cover version but we failed. Do yourself a favor and go listen to that version. Sorry that you had to settle and purchased this piece of crap!

I'm not that much into the Brothers Johnson stuff, but still, this remake is completely SOUL-LESS!
Fuck Quincy for releasing this shit and fuck Akon and his computer-generated bland,soul-less and empty "voice"! mad

Wait a minute, how could you not appreciate this? What a beautiful haunting melody and that synth flute! Akon gives me the feeling it's okay to respond to those Nigerian bank scam letters! Im feeling the unity!
