Probably the kid's today's take on music isn't music it's just noise to me 😂. All my four kid's have grown up listening to all the tunes I listened to and one of my Daughters favourite tunes is Angie Stone's Wish I didn't miss you anymore and she's only 20 😂.

Tunage. These were tunes to fall in love with. Thumbs down people have no soul. We lived for this type of music back then. Mixed race and proud of the cross-genres. Love it.

As they say they don't make music like this anymore .A true timeless classic .Its a true groove from my youthful days. xx

Just one of the most beautiful songs of all time! Viola Wills, her voice and music inspired me with my singing and songwriting and, my daughter and I had the pleasure and privilege of meeting her in Manchester where my daughter actually had the honor of singing with her while she was in rehearsal! Beautiful memories of a beautiful lady! Such a blessings beyond words. RIP Viola!!

I played this to a man who magically captured my heart and we danced the night till dawn, he was truly a magician, worlds best rock climber and the spark in my heart, wow was High charged fun and a love that burnt like a billion stars, happy memories. We dared to dteam

1986 when this came out.....quite simply one of the BEST EVER years for Soul music! So many countless Gems came out in that year and this was one of them...... thanks for the memories...Glad I lived through that era.....

I absolutely agree with you. I bought more records during 1986 than in any other year, the music back then was phenomenal especially the soul dance and hip hop tunes. This song reminds me of slow dances at night clubs. Happy memories. 😊

When songs touched the soul...reminded of youth and home and dreams for tomorrow and suddenly I am older, what happened, thank god for the memories of yesterday...I am so blessed to have been dancing to this back in the day....

Yes Kay!! This tune was being played lots of places in my teens; from soul clubs like Nutmegs in Hampstead and Harrow. I even heard it at reggae clubs like Bouncing Ball and All Nations. It just had that sublime combination of bass, rhythm, and harmony that could appeal to many people. A tune like this would resonate in you for hours afterwards, and even years after it was last heard . You may like to refresh your memory with Walk in The Night also. Another fab' 70s era tune. 👍🏽🤗💖💕😊

The memories of listening to this over the airwaves in London come flooding back..

This song still gives me goosebumps after all these years

I can't help but point out the similarity to "Juicy Fruit" by Mtume. The odd thing is that I was a DJ here in NYC when this song came out & I didn't hear of it until about 3 1/2 years ago. I discovered this song while my mother was sick & it drew me in. Instead of reminiscing about the 80s, I reminisce about this song because I discovered it around the time that I was running back & forth to see her at the hospital, with her passing on June 30th of that year. I always associated her with EuroDisco or Hi Energy music, which isn't my thing, but, this is a beautiful song & I'm glad to have discovered it, albeit 30 years after the fact.

Hey Thank you Will, I remember Paul Phillips going into the studio, Re-recording this with Viola in London would believe. The Piano at the beginning of the song was originally in the middle of the song, a little play along riff by Tee Morris, then Paul done his magic started the track with the piano, nice build up by Hi Tension Percussionists Leroy Williams, and Linn Drum Programming by Lloyd Phillips. Paul said it was a production for streetwave records but because of contractual reason he was only credited with a remix. We give credit to Paul as one of the Uk Best unknown Producers at the time

what a absolute tune i have this on a white voice of an angel respect for the upload regards cortinaelmo

Wicked wicked tuneeeeeee

One of the best singles ever - a real late 80's soulful sound. This was the mix released in the UK on 7" and 12". Trouble now - if on the rare occasion a radio station would play it - you'd get the album version as they'd play it off CD.

Good old-style soul music. Current songs don't have long instrumental versions anymore!
