When I first heard this song in the 80s, I can't believe it never became a big Hit. This song not only got the incredible groove, the melody line is also fantastic. and Patti as usual sounds amazing. How this song never became a massive hit eludes me.
I remember the first time I heard this song. I was driving home from a grocery store, and heard this on the radio. I absolutely loved it! I searched and searched until I found the 12" extended version. I still have that album today! Great, great song. Still holds up after all these years!!!
Patti isn't known for dance music, so when i first heard this jam i ran out and brought the 12" single an proceeded to wear it out! Thanks you so much for this post!!!!!
heard this for the first time on BET when it was "family friendly" an I ran out and bought the 12" right away! This is my favorite song by her. Thank you so much for this excellent post!!!!
If. there was a video for this song I never saw it her spectacular voice and she being very attractive just made me go to Tower Records and get the 12" lp.
+wesley l Sherrod It is Alison's Song and for the longest time I have not heard her version. But since I have heard her version too. Patti's was the first I came across and I will say that, while I like Alison's version too, I am tossing the award to Patti, IF only by a small margin.

Agreed.Thank you for your comment.Classic Dance track.God Bless
A massive hit in my book.Tyvm..God Bless
This instantly became one of my favorite jams back when it first came out and it's still one of my favorites!!!!
That bass and Niralda on drums. Damn it🤣🤣🤣🤣
My absolute favorite by Patti-A !!!
SouLoveReal mine too and I still play the vinyl .
Love this song 🍯 her voice is on point❣️ 🐝
Why more of her songs didn't get as much airplay as they deserved I'll never know, because she is great. This song is a good example of that!
Three years ago when I was 15 my Dad turned me on to this song and I loved it. Still do.
Seriously, never heard anything more fierce!
I love Patty Austin vocals. Definitely a True Dance Classic. 💃 🎶
Shit...this is a 1985 Classic 🍾🎵
Big song back in 1985 in San Francisco -- both R&B radio play and
dance club play.
Love it , didn’t know there was a official 12 inch to this
Neither did I
I could always hear Chaka Khan singing this song too. I always wondered though if it was ever brought to her attention but Khan passed on it?
LARRY LEVAN BROUGHT ME HERE!!!!
Neither Moyet or Austin had a hit with this song which is surprising because it's that good - both of their versions.
Hollister Evans Patti's is better
I FALL IN LOVE WHEN I HEAR HER MUSIC .
"....sugar NEVER was sooooo sweet,....."
Beautiful isn't it?
Say what u want family but it don't get no funkier than that,jus listen to Heat of Heat or Big Bad World and dig that rhythm too...wuuuut!!! 👍
This is soooooo goooood!
Love this song as well as The Heat of Heat from this great album Gettin Away With Murder by Patti. One of her best works.
I Love love this song THIS IS MY JAM PATTI AUSTIN SOUNDS SO SO GOOD AND LOOKS BEAUTIFUL .

This version is funkier and edgier musically, than Moyet ' s version!! No love lost for her though!!
So many years later and the groove on this song still kicking! Thank you Patti you are AWESOME!
Classic Dance track
Nice mix of the original!

They played this song religiously on KDIA in the Bay Area (1985) love 💕 Patti forever 😎
Great song - great memories. Thanks to Patti. Thanks to you for posting!
I've been looking for this cut. I have it on cassette and love it.
Patti Austin blows Alison Moyet away.
You should remix Patti and Alison Moyet's version together for a Tygo style mashup 🎉 Both versions are excellent 😃
This is an absolute belter. Gives me immediate Miami Vice vibes
heard this for the first time on BET when it was "family friendly" an I ran out and bought the 12" right away! This is my favorite song by her. Thank you so much for this excellent post!!!!
Love it !!!!!
Like this one alot I'm tell in ya ❤️❤️❤️

Allison Dodge...... Thinking of jamming out to this back in the Camp days.
Greatest eighties music.

Larry Patti Judy......
Moyet? This is Patti's song!!!!!
Show your ride
Thanks for sharing this as I had looked awhile ago on youtube and found the instrumental version only. When did this song come out?
I'll come back for the honey-and You.
Okay, listened to both versions...Liked Patti Austin's better, but wouldn't it be cool if they both did a duet on this song?
