Saddened to read about Ms Shaw death. This song has been one of my favourites since the 80's. Old school white grandmother in her 50's now.....still enjoying this track
Same. Only found out today a couple of days later and that's probably because Jazz fm decided to go the way of so many others and is longer available on DAB. I refuse to buy another radio because "...it ain't broke" and doesn't need fixing or replacing plus I'm saving the planet by not dumping it
I am an average whitey, a european son, but i feel much respect and admiration for the great african-american musical heritage...Bless you all brothers and sisters! Great music! Thanks for the upload also!

This song was written by singer/songwriter Gary Taylor, who has written and/or produced songs for Anita Baker, the Whispers and Vanessa Williams, among many other artists. He also records his own albums.
Thanks for information. I collected together just now 24 favorit-songs of Marlena Shaw (Talent-vocalist nr.1 in the world- singing as few in the upperclass). The adress is:czcams.com/video/tl1UbDdvbCg/video.html
I am an average black and whitey, and I only discovered love, life and happiness, when I discovered black music, the SPIRIT in black music is truly hypnotising, I've been hooked since I was a teenager, and it's the most beautiful addiction in the world.
The arrangement on this is so typical of the time. Such gifted musicians, and production teams. The idiots of today wouldn't able to emulate this even if they wanted to. Such class!
This definitely screams Charles Stepney, producer for Earth, Wind & Fire. Loved this then Lovin' this now. Marlena Shaw is to be Treasured. Thank you for this.
A lovely friend of mine who i was going out with at the time, omg, told me about a Marlena Shaw Album she had seen, Go away little boy, excellent Album. I asked her where she had seen it she told me and also said they only had one copy, I was down there like a bullet the next day and bought it for my self. ( SORRY AGAIN ) F.
October-November 1982, KBLX played the hell out of song. She sang her ass off with this song. Many memories with this song. The mood of this song was fitting for a person who relationship just ended. Thank you for posting this. She’s retired, but her music lasted.
After 41 years I get to know this real fantastic hidden smooth soul track. I alreadyknow Marlena Shaw but never get in touch with any of her records. So from now on I've to go digging deeper for her records!
Gary of course was using the classic vintage 70s fenders Rhodes keyboards the guitar riff is by turning up the amp and plucking the strings , the keyboards are the Joe sample sound lots if good music at that time , eumir deodato, Lonnie liston smith, herbie Hancock, Patrice rushen Ramsey Lewis , Bobby Lyle , Sergio mendez,and George duke were on the loose and the crusaders and Larry carlton, parliament, pleasure, slave and area featuring curt Jones and starlena had it Goin on also . ewf too and Jon luc ponte
Ruby Stargell, I remember when this first played: October- November 1982. KBLX 102.9 played the hell out of this. I heard it was a small produced record. But looking at the views, it got some good feedback.
RIP Marlena Shaw (September 22, 1942 - January 19, 2024), aged 81
You will be remembered as a legend.
She died a day before my birthday 😢

Hey Ruby!
Ruby Stargell, I remember when this first played: October- November 1982. KBLX 102.9 played the hell out of this. I heard it was a small produced record. But looking at the views, it got some good feedback.
Right, also in 2021! 🎤🎶♥️😊👍🏾
Perfect for sample. Cooking soul and Oliver (Mucho Muchacho) took that, in a nice theme.
ya, like The Emotions. Rejoice is one of the greatest albums Ive ever heard.
Just What I Needed Thanks
As close to Heavan you will get 😘😘😘
Yesss... 🤙🤙🤙
What a TUNE,my search is over !!
What a big tune!! Sam Trump (Cheers) did it some justice but this original is Class!!
