You listen to this song and it sounds like the lyrics were written for her as if the letter and melody become one in her soul; i remember i was in the army many, many yrs ago i bought a cassette of Miss Ross hits, with the song in it, never heard it before; , my roomate was african american, very young, and when i played it and he heard it, he look at me with this sad anguish gaze and he said, " it was a f _____up time, they were such hard times my people had to endure .. " and i said to him "its true, but it is such a beatiful, yet sad rendition... peace and love my friend, Ray wherever u are ... 37 yrs ago, Ft Hood, Texas-13th SUPCOM 1st MED Gp.
