Genesis kind of nicked The Stones too. Go to 3:30. smile

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

Yes! I also was under the impression that that song was the only one, besides Black Cat, where she had sole songwriting credit. But I checked my CD, the original one, and it mentions the writers I previously posted. Maybe that credit was on the single?

You guys are confusing this song with 'Whoops now'.

Janet has sole writing credits on ‘black cat’ and ‘whoops now’ - not ‘what'll I do’

I only learned a few months ago that 'what'll i do' was a fully-fledged cover sad was so disappointed.

Anyway the video kicks ass:

I wish Janet would perform more like this again sad

She really changed her performing style in the 00's.

^ Proof?

I know she has in the past but how do you know she stole from Black Cat and Whoops Now? As far as I know those are the only songs she has written by herself. Now the fact she is given a production credit on Black Cat is arguable but thats different from songwriting.

This is a jam. Love the live drums by Stokley from Mint Condition on the album version of this song (my favorite version). The single cover is sexy as all getout...
