And still is actually.. just seen him on Nov 17th in Virginia at George Mason University arena place.. ojays was on the ticket, whispers, Howard Hewitt and El debarge and I solely went for El and Alexander, My man Al sounded so good, I was shocked and ecstatic at the same time. He is almost 80 and sound so good but he is a bit sick or something I believe but I was in heaven when he sang this, fake, and Saturday love with Cherrelle
This is the perfect song to go for drive on the freeway with the windows open or the sunroof open,playing really loud. I will definitely always remember this song.

This song always makes me think about my childhood. My sister used to sleep with the radio on and they played this all the time on the Sunday night segway/slow jams station

I remember I was 10 years old. I was lying down in the back seat of my mom's green Nova listening to this while riding down the highway in Birmingham, AL at night. I would look at the street lights playing peek-a-boo while riding in the back seat. I felt so at peace.
