The world needs to hear much, much more of Eric Tagg. And I wish he and Lee Ritenour would team up to make this kind of music again. To me, this song is perfect, especially with Bill Champlin's backing vocals. (Best two singers together I've ever heard, anywhere.) The balance, the harmonies, the recording... everything is perfect. I very rarely feel that way about a song. Bobby Caldwell's

Oh..but let's not forget the Ego too!!I know these Cats yes they're both good but they're also quite proud shits too and not that fun to work with because they're too perfectionist to get along with!!Look just because folks may have a certain peculiar talent and sound great doesn't automatically make them particularly great people to hangout with!!And Lee Rit is a friggin' prick too!!Know all of them however my other Cats like George Benson, Al Jarreau & Nathan East and Bernard Wright Lenny Williams now THESE Cats are down to earth and downright Inspiring to be around!!

I listened to this song as I drove to see my sweetheart one final time before I left for active duty in the service, we lived 10 hours apart and I had to see her. Sadly we drifted apart eventually breaking up, but I never for got this song, flash forward 25 years and we are together forever with this and a host of other songs forever linked to our love n relationship

I had the honor and pleasure of seeing Lee in Nagoya Japan in 1983 and the band had Eric, Phil, Harvey, Nathan, Ernie Watts,Don Grusin, Barnaby Finch and one more i can't remember. Eric and Phil were both featured in various songs and it was fantastic! I was with a group of 5 musicians from LA that was doing a show there in Nagoya at the time, and I think we spent over an hour with the band afterwards in the Green Room. It was the most memorable concert I have ever experienced. Thanks guys!

My fam didn't too much do rock when I was a kid, so I might hear this song on the muzak at the mall. Loved hearing this song then. Sounded so calming, so refreshing, and it would help to make the trip more memorable, which is why I can remember it now! Also, used to hear this on the muzak when I worked at Walmarts. That's when I really came to appreciate this song. And, this song was a nice, momentary escape from all the BS there. Still, I really enjoy this song:),
