Relax, I was being sarcastic. I've loved this song since the late 80's/early 90's, if not earlier. Only I didn't know it was MJ in the background till a few years after lol I had a solid gold performance of rockwell doing it, so I didn't know it was MJ singing and thought it was all rockwell and enjoying it. I was like that upon discovering ABC in 93' as well on repeat. I liked mj in passing, but didn't call myself "a real fan" until 95/96 when rediscovering him and going all out since.

Oy vey...it's MY sarcasm that you didn't get, but no nevermind. You honestly didn't recognize MJ's voice tho? eek This song came out in 84-85 (going by memory) so his voice was like the world's best known voice then.

I was a year or two old in 84/85. I recognize MJ's voice all the time now. I would sometimes think people sounded like MJ thought not being sure. Like I said, I only knew the song from what was presented to me visually on Solid Gold from an old tape, so it didn't occur to me that MJ and Jermaine were on it though I knew who they were already.

I remember when this song came out.My cousin was listening to it on a Walkman and he excitedly told us "The new Jacksons song is out! It's GREAT!!" lol

He obviously got confused,but you know what? This song is better than anything on Victory.Imagine if the Jacksons had recorded it....Jermaine doing the verses and Michael singing the chorus hmmm
