I am surprised this stopped short at #2 on the R&B charts. A sure fire #1 if there is one.
I think they are the only R&B group with all members enjoying great success outside of New Edition.
I dunno, I think The Time might qualify along those lines…
I agree with you…
Talk about taking me back to my youth! I remember being a kid and listening to songs like this while riding in the car with my older sister. Thanks a lot for sharing all of your older 80′s R&B music with us.
you’re welcome
THANKS !! extracted the wav files from the flacs and burned them to CD. playing this on my Yamaha home audio system! sounds GREAT!!
