Hands down my all-time fave Chaka track. The song is a vocal challenge (esp at the end), but she NAILED this to the WALL.

Awesome track. I just want to add another to it. I pity the fool who wasn't alive in the 70's, and didn't know of any Kanye, or Snoop or Diddy or whoever. THIS was real music, folks.

It's really hard to believe all this time has passed.

I was in the 6th grade when this classic hit.

One of my favorites by the group.

This funk is a serious joint

I don't know what Chaka has been through during the 77-78 period, you can notice that her singing underwent a dark mood in comparision to her previous recordings(or even the ones post-79).

That song along with EVERY cut from "Ask Rufus" are examples of what I'm talking about. I'm fascinated by that for some reason, and this is the period of Chaka's musical career where she moved me the most.

I still can't listen to THAT song and "Magic In Your Eyes" without a big sore lump in my throat touched

I'm so obsessed with Chaka's voice, especially in this song. love
