Such a classic Gay anthem. Lisa Stansfield covered this song in the 90′s, which is another version i like.
Great post, paul

Thank you Ray. Surprised more people didn’t like this one. It’s one of my favorites great groove and beautiful lyrics.

Thanks for this, Paul! I like it loads too!
All the more with that extra positivity and youth thrown into your Heart week!
This is another of those songs that is hard to ruin by covers or remixes.
1986 is sort of a “comeback” year for Candi, as she scored a UK club hit end of that year with the later-remixed and now-classic You Got The Love.
