Wow, what a tune.

How about near the end where the guitar kicks in and the keys go on. Now this is music. Shows how backwards our culture is going.

You do know that this is a remake, right?

The original was done by Billy Stewart. If anything GQ was inspired by the original and Billy Stewart was one of Prince's, inspirations...

Ah, that's quaint. The remake is a million times better, but thanks for your input.

Great tune,but I don't think it's really Prince-influenced

Especially since the tune was dropped practically the same year Prince dropped

his debut.

I always hated this song

How is this even Prince-influenced?

1.) It's already covered that Billy Stewart did the original (GQ covered another Billy Stewart joint around the same time too; "Sittin' in the Park")

2.) GQ and Prince existed around the same time and Prince didn't have the leverage he'd have five years after this.

So that goes that theory.

I remember bumpin this on a portable 8 track player !

Great tune.....but i don't think they were influenced by prince though.

Prince also invented light bulbs. Says it right on Wikipedia.

Fell in love with it the minute I heard it in Baby Boy.

never heard of billy stewart-what happened to him?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think he passed in the late 60's/early 70's. I think it was related to his weight and diabetes. Good songwriter.
