I much preferred the late 70s and early 80s Evelyn. She sounded more soul/r&b then. This one definitely has more of a standard mid 80s pop feel. Song was featured on the Fright Night soundtrack. Co written by Bobby Caldwell.

My Mount Rushmore of male R&B/Soul singers.
Marvin Gaye
Luther Vandross
Michael Jackson
The first 3 are set the 4th is a tough call. You can make a very good case for Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Jackie Wilson, Levi Stubbs (Four Tops), David Ruffin and Eddie |Kendricks (Temptations). But I think I have to go with Smokey who did it so well for so long. Not to mention he wrote for so many other artists.

God I love Philly soul. This gem is so underrated. It got lost in all the late 70's heat being produced.

The last album to feature Ruffin as part of the group. This is one of my favorite Temptations songs. His vocals are immaculate.
this is new to me....kinda melancholy..in a good way....soulful voice and a nice little tune
I always knew there was a reason why I loved this song so much. It has origins in soul. Brenda was a looker too.
I always thought the BS&T version was the original and that Lou Rawls covered it.
It's a cover in defiance of the original song's intended meaning and specific words have been changed.
