These young folks of today don't know nothing about music like this cut. this was a "rump shaker" for the ladies on the dance floor!!!!!!!!!!!!!! G BOOGIE
I saw Gladys when she and the Pips were touring to promote this and she was incredible. Saw her again just last year (30 years later) and she still sounded great!
I was a Sylverspoon writer/producer at the time, and I was in the studio for this album, and worked on the follow up project. Ricky "Freeze" Smith is playing bass and everything else on this track but guitar. Edmund produced the vocals. Ricky is currently the bassist for Morris Day & The Time. AMAZING musician and amazing brother and friend
@@elderyashah Leon Sylvers production with his bass sound, no matter who is playing it , Sir. Anyone who follows his productions knows this has his sound all over it.
This is one of the greatest ..., I stand corrected indeed it is the one and only most masterful musical composition recorded I have ever heard in all of the 50 plus years I have listened to music and lived I also add that the vocal performances and arrangements are like icing is to cake simply delicious I thank all the artists for this attribute to music and my ears it will never be perceived as anything less than a blueprint / in and for the music industry it's a full on MASTERPIECE I appreciate the "SYLVERS" family , & GLADYS KNIGHT , BUBBA , & the PIPS and all musical artists involved in bringing this song to life.
Love This. It's not a romantic song for me, but one that I'm waiting for my friend to visit. We share stories and wine and good and bad times. Strength. Great song!
Almost 2016, and brothers and sisters of all colours and persuasions the world over are workin' hard for the money and puttin' in overtime just to make ends meet. Gladys and her perfection in performance group members really lay it down in this groove. In a medley she performed on the BET network, Black Girls Rock 2016, as she was given a Lifetime Achievement Award, Gladys proved that not only does she works hard, she still has the juice to lay down the funk!
