Ms.Chaka Khan did a cover version of this from her Disteny album...
I don't have that mix though. | |

I love Chaka's cover, Charlie version is rather bland.

Wow! I knew Charlie wrote this incredibly stupid song but I never knew he recorded it. This is definately the WORST song in Chaka's catalog! I'm not sure what she and Arif were smoking when they decided to cover this non-sense on her otherwise excellent "Destiny" album. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.!

I love Charlie, I have the "Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained" album and I really dig it, especially the title track and "I Wanna Be With You".
Trying to track down some of his other material at the moment. |
