I'm not a Drake fan but I appreciated the artistry of this record. Its from the 'Views' album which I consider his best work.
This tune was written by Neil Sedaka and first recorded by Patti Drew. But I love this rendition, especially because of that divine bassline.
Might have posted this previously but I'm doing so again because its so damn funky
i remember posting this a long time ago....and it was new to Dougie and he posted that he really liked it.....so a repeat is in order

Fav track is 'Im Housin'
Great sample of Aretha Franklin's 'Rock Steady'

Been so busy with life I didn't even realize that Bobby Caldwell passed away last Tuesday. Damn RIP.
This is my favorite song of his, I'm sure I've posted it here before. The piano riff is everything. And of course Bobby's voice - blue eyed soul perfection.
