I've kept it with me and held it close all.these years. my wife passed away last year of cancer... One of the things she loved was having a soundtrack.. to listen to.. and of course she listened to this one many times in the final week... It's gut wrenching listening to it now... But I feel I owe it to her to keep it in my life.. thank you Brenda Russell for this masterpiece

    Brenda Russell (nee Brenda Gordon) & a high-school friend of mine, Jackie Richardson, were part of the Toronto female singing group 'The Tiaras'. Brenda went on to a solo career, singing, songwriting & producing with her husband Brian Russell.
    Jackie has gone on to a stellar career as a singer, & theatre, TV & film actress, having won numerous awards, including the Martin Luther King Jr Achievement Award for her theater & music achievements, and the NAACP Image Award.
    Two talented ladies. 👏 👏 👏

      The 80s was a great time to be a teen. All the good songs and movies we had. I would not change that for anything. I wish female singers that used their beautiful voices in the 80s. They would use it today and come out with real good music like they use to. I don't like music they put out today. It's trashy and way to sexual and to me that is not music. I don't even want to go there when it comes to what guys put out today' it's worse. And this is just what I think and everyone has their own taste in what they like.
