Been looking for this mix for ages so much appreciated! Very nice surprise.

You don’t happen to have the US 12″ as it has 4 Morales/Knuckles mixes

I love this song and this remix is awesome. Unfortunately this mix was not included on the Cherry Red CD re-edition of the album “So good”. Thanks to you Paul we get it finally 🙂

Great artist. I also remember her duet with fellow soul singer Will Downing around that time on the “Where Is The Love” cover version. I don’t think I have heard this remix before either.

Thanks Paul 🙂

I love her! Thanks for posting this remix! I have almost everything she’s done except that last ‘standards’ thing, which I should probably get! Wish she’d do a new album of more pop/rnb ! Love love love Contribution, plus Whisper A Prayer … Black Angel! So Good, indeed!
