I'm 53 from Detroit and listening to this song just makes me so emotional. Not that I'm some kind of punk but the melody, the arrangement, this music is from a bygone era that unfortunately was a moment in time that probably won't be circling back around. It touches you at your core. Today's music is missing this element. Blessed to have grown up in the 70's and 80's.

This by far is one of the "coldest" R&B jams ever made!!! Spotify get with the program with some of these oldies!!!! What's so hard about that????

80s - teen yrs, small, boring town (Alliance, Ohio), hormones running rampant, & no clue what to do about it! Enter the sweet, melodic, slow jams of ONE WAY, Heatwave, Isley Bros., Confunkshun, Rick & Tina, Dazz Band, etc = Perfect storm! GREAT TIME TO BE ALIVE!😍😍😍

I am so proud of the times I grew up on these grooves

Any person who can't get into this song has zero appreciation for TRUE slow jams. No grinding. No droppin it like its hot. No getting the eagle on. Just plain feelings being expressed! Truly one of the greatest slow jams of all time!!! Used to jam to this as a young teen growing up in Canton, Ohio. For Lovers Only program outta Cleveland.

One way ruled the 70's and 80's in the black community. A lot of old black music is popular now but when they made the songs only black people listen to them now it's like how great they were but they never got the credit or the awards then.

Amazing Music! Didnt appreciate it in the 80's but now im longing for this kind of substance in the music that we are lacking these days!!

There it is!!! FM 108 Cleveland...For Lovers Only, dawg! Canton coming strong!

One of the smoothest cuts of it's time. Vocals and background are just "nasty"!

Found my the man I married 17 years ago found out he is still my husband after all these years I never divorced him. I think I want to repeat our vows again if or when we get back together. The same preacher who married us can do the repeating of our vows. God's will.

since day one, One Way has always been in my crib til this day, they rock, this is something we'll never get back, Awesome Music, just beautiful, from a child to today, just fabulous.

This was in my rotation 30 years ago!!! LMAO Time flies

I have loved this song ever since the first time I heard it and I was 14 then and woww it still sounds like it did when I first heard it and still has the same effect on me too..just a great piece to have in your collection

If they only knew wat this real music was about today back then n "If you only knew". That .? 💯✊🏼💯

If we dont inherit our powerful 80s r&b , we lose our soul.

No, One Way forever...Beautifully arrangements..nice lyrics...very underrated group...Love One Way...FOREVER

I'm so glad to have someone in my life who makes me feel this way...

kj cleveland heights high 75...salute to the Franklin brothers.

Classic that keeps memories in place. Love this song forever.

I live in Las Vegas. I met Al Hudson and the rest of the band in 78 . I was a kid but when I started working at the only black station in NV. This is a great under apperciated song and band

Simply classic thinking of nothing but the good times.

I loved this album, it was my favorite next to their Love is...album...i had this and Dont stop on my slow jam tape when i was a kid..classic!

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SLOW SONGS EVER MADE!!! IF ONLY YOU KNEW..WOW..THAT IS DEEP, AND THE WAY HE SINGS IT..GIVE ME GOOSE BUMPS!!! NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW TRUE..GOOD PURE MUSIC UNTIL THEY HEAR THIS GROUP SING A TRUE LOVE SONG!!! LOVE IT!!!!

God!!!!!! Memories so sweet!!!!! This band rightchea!!!!!!! Unsung genius!!!

you know I had lost contact with my sons dad and here it is 22 years later, this wasne of our songs.Truly it still has the same effect.

my child hood memories #thosewerethedays 😩❤❤❤

This music reminds me of the parties I used to have in my basement back in the 70s and 80s!

This song got me thru a powerfully lovesick high school crush during the late 80s! I suffered desiring what I couldn't have. I often listened to this song like it was a confessional. The arrangement and sax at the end in this tune sends me to another beautiful place!

I am speechless! No words can explain or express, the depth or appreciation of this musical extravaganza....Pure ...arousal of the joy of music.

I was in Junior High School when I first heard of One Way and was in love ever since… brings back so many good memories and some bad but the music will always hold a special place in my soul

After our wedding, when we got back to the reception hall, I asked the DJ to play this song for us, the bride and groom for the first dance, remember Sheila ??? 8/84

This music takes me back to my summers spent at my grandparents home. Gary, Indiana was BOOMING, everybody was working & eating, Gary was definitely the place to be. Lord where did all that goodness go? What I'd give to go back and see past family members and friends.

This is that your my baby music for sure.

They was like the Isley Brothers underrated. Dope ass music every time!

❤❤❤❤❤THIS IS SUCH A JAMMM!!!! I LOVE AL HUDSON & ONE WAY🔥🔥🔥

beautiful

great song! one way is one of the most under rated groups of all time! and they got more classics to go with this 1!

This group consists of my mom and my uncles; U love this group, tell your citys TO BOOK THEM BOOK THEM BOOK THEM FOR OLD SCHOOL SHOWS...hit me up on here and I will definitely get my AL HUDSON AND ONE WAY TO A CITY NEAR YOU

Man it's good to go back,2 that very time I iny life when I was chilling.....

So many memories and I'm sitting here reminiscing. This is what real music is.

I had this album. I remember the album and the classy woman on the cover. I never played all the songs. I had so many albums. This one was one of my favorite too.

No punk, real feelings my brother! Great vibe, lyrics and music. Takes me back to when life was good and simple.

They need to do a unsung on this band VERY UNDERATED THE REAL SHIT FUCK HIP HOP!

This group is truly underrated they make great love songs so meaningful ,very classy,so strong make being in feels so good

Man oh! Man!! Riding with you on that!!! Nothing else said!!! Much Love!!!!

I love the melody beautiful song

If you only knew what this does to a relationship with a classy lady at night with candles and that favorite sip.

Hypnotizing album cover gave a indication of the music inside. We were in for a treat.
