In February 1977 I was at the Atlanta Airport with my wife and 1 year old son. We were waiting for a flight to LAX. Right across from us were the members of Rose Royce-- they were so friendly and engaging-- I have remembered that vividly for 46 years.

This is by far the best version of this song. Gwen's voice surely brings the lyrics to life.

Damn I love this song it takes me way back to those good old days.

👍Love it! Her voice is awesome. Terrific band. I wonder where they are & how they are these days. Gwen Dickey aka Rose Norwalt is the lead female. Bless her…I’m glad she left the USA. Her energy is great in all of the songs she sang. I read that in 2010 she suffered a spinal cord injury in her London home, leaving her reliant on a wheelchair. As of 2018, she still performed concerts while seated on stage. Bless her. 💝
