Mary J. Blige OR The Gap Band?

Okay, this is one of my favorite Mary songs. I found out a couple of years ago that it's actually a cover of an old Gap Band song. I acquired a copy of The Gap Band CD that the song originally appeared on. This has now become my favorite Gap Band song (edging out "Yearning"). However, I still prefer Mary's version.

Gap Band all the way. I'm a Mary fan, but if one of the choices is the Gap Band, that's where I'm going 10 times out of 10. If you're going to do a straight cover of a Gap song, it just draws even more attention to the fact that Charlie Wilson isn't singing.
