From Herbie's, "Possibilities" album. Not one bad cut on it... "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" |

Freddy Fender 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 | |

Stevie actually wrote this song in 1976.I wish he had recorded/released it back then.It might have had a whole different arrangement.That's my only problem with the released 1984 version.....I don't mind the lyrics,it's the arrangement that I have a problem with.It sounds kinda sterile and lifeless. | |

I'm actually not a fan of the cover. The pieces are are all good, even excellent, but the slower tempo really makes it drag. It always struck me as though he called to say he loved her from his deathbed. Not one of Herbie's best... "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

Agreed. I can't help but like the song despite its issues (and nostalgia can only take some of the blame), but I'd love to hear that early version... not that it would've ever been good enough to make SITKOL.
