I only started to appreciate this song when I heard it on the radio a few years ago. I wonder why it took me so long! But it’s never too late, and now it’s my favourite DeBarge track by far.
Thanks a lot, Paul!!
You’re welcome Josmon10. It’s probably my favorite DeBarge track also.
Woo Hoo!
Another Hard To Find Record Rip from DJ Paul!
I only bought the singles The Rhythm Of The Night and Who’s Holding Donna Now but missed out on the latter two singles. So thanks for this wonderful rip of the M+M remix. A well deserved Club Play #1!
You Do It Well!
Thank you Ric. I appreciate your loyalty to BTG so much 🙂
I’m lovin’ the El DeBarge (DeBarge) stuff!
Remember when he was on The Facts of Life & the girls group was “Sexy Lingerie” LOL
P.S. I know difficult it is being without a computer.
I’ve had 2 computer dumps since we’ve “known” eachother & yesterday my internet was down for about 6 hours. You don’t know how much you use it ’til it’s not there.
I know what you mean luckily my problem was easy to fix. Enjoy my friend 🙂
OMG! My favorite DeBarge song!!
Glad you like it Joseph!
Thank you Paul for the continuation of the theme! 🙂
You’re welcome Spring 🙂
