I love this song! In my opinion,this is Jam and Lewis' greatest production.

I couldn't pick an absolute favorite, but it is definately in my top 5 J&L productions! RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time... | |

I really like Robert Palmer's version too:

Always thought this song sounded like a girly 1999, like a response. I prefer 1999 though it's still an infectious beat.
J & L's best work from the early 80's was with SOS Band | |

Great song! Every version of it still grooves to this day.

I think it is great that the perspective changes, as Robert is obviously a man and not a female like Cherrelle. A man singing these lyrics is even cooler IMO.
I also like the way Robert does those harmonies with his singing. I just dig the way he takes the song and makes it his own. And it still is a funky tune in his hands, although it is that typical "white" (for lack of a better word) Robert Palmer kind of funk. RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time... | |

Must have been nice to remake a song with the original producers.....
Mariah was still in good voice here. Great energy. As with most older songs redone with modern technology, her song sounds bigger, louder. It doesn't necessarily make it better (imho).
This is probably one of the best uptempo dance joints in her catalog. I don't think she has many. [Edited 12/12/12 6:27am] | |

with BJ Nelson You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I agree.I never liked Robert Palmer's version at all.The lyrics sound silly coming from a man.It's obvious that the lyrics were intended for a woman to sing
I don't like Mariah's version,either.The Cherelle version is only version I need. | |

...which is why it's so shocking that it sounds better when sung by a man. "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

What's up with the gender stereotypes? What makes something "feminine" or "masculine"? Those things are taught.

Did Mariah's version use the same backing tracks as Cherrelle's or did Jam and Lewis re-play it? They sound pretty identical to me. ![]() | |

I can't tell you, I'm afraid. I don't dare to play it, I am too worried that the song will be completely ruined by "The Diva"! RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time... | |

Mariahs version is pretty good its just not extended like cherrelle version. It also seems remastered with better bass and jimmy and terry knocked the kickdrum up so it thumps a lot more than the original Straight Jacket Funk Affair
Album plays and love for vinyl records. | |

On your recommandation I have now viewed the Mariah version, and indeed, it is not bad at all. The backing tracks sound like 95% the same to me as in Cherrelle's version. I am glad they didn't try to update the sounds for this version.
