This was actually "ghost" written by Steve Arrington of Slave and features the same musicians that played on "Watching You", including bass player. It is a DJ's dream!!

Right on ! Okay cool, so Steve used that "Jesse Rae"-alias as his composer-name. Thanx for your trivia !

I don't know about the alias, but I do remember reading about "Inside Out". The bass player on that track was the same one on "Inside Out" and he did say that it was Steve that ghost wrote the track.

Yeah, Sandy Anderson from Unlimited Touch played bass on "Inside Out".

I remember him posting some inside-info on youtube-comments of the soundclip.

"Jesse Rae" is the official composer-name in the credits :

And of course, Slave-producer Jimmy Douglas produced the whole thang , lol

Mylie Cyrus' "Permanent December" is a ripoff of Kylie Minogue's "Love at First Sight."

Kelly Clarkson's "If I Can't Have You" is a ripoff of Miley Cyrus' "Fly on the Wall."

There are so many songs that are inspired by/ripped off Prince's 1999.

O Shelia sounds like "Lady Cab Driver" lol

YES! nod lol Love both songs too lol [Edited 5/27/10 16:02pm]

I've NEVER liked Stephanie Mills but 'Borderline' is still one of my all time faves by Madonna.

I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think.

Seeing Shalamar pop-up again here. I thought "Games" was inspired by Cameo's mid-80's sound, lol

Another group inspired by that same Cameo-sound is M.V.P.
