Hi Paul,
First, thanks for all the work done. That’s good to go back to the good ol’ 80s times 🙂
I used to follow you postings through CommaFeed but it seems that the new meta for your blog does not allow it any longer. Is that what you wish or is it just a bug?
Regards !
Thank you Paul. Been wanting to hear this for years.
how do i register and download
Thanks a lot! =)
Great to have you back!
Could never understand why they went with that kind of image (cover picture) etc and then using this as the debut release when there are clearly much better tracks to be selected. Its like they had no clue what genre / image they wanted to project to the audience
Great rip Paul. Thanks so much for this rarity!! (And welcome back!)
It’s a bit shocking that they placed the unknown and unheard and what would become one of her signature songs, on the b-side. A bit like how Sade had Smooth Operator as a b-side to debut UK single Your Love is King.
Excellent song. Thank You Paul!!!
Wow, i have never head of this song before and i love Whitney H. Love the long intro, a staple for 80s extended mixes. Thanks for posting this rarity.
You’re welcome Gilbert 🙂
Thanks for sharing and nice website interface!
Thank you RetroMikey 🙂
I have just returned from vacation. So happy to see you are back. I really missed you. Thank you so much for this one. Have to check all the new posts.
You’re welcome danstett2013 🙂
Jesus, I am gagged… I didn’t even know that this was a single release! *.*
Enjoy! Marcus 🙂
I’m fascinated to hear this one Paul. Especially for the remix by Alan ‘The Judge’ Coulthard. Didn’t he work at DMC back in the 1980’s? I did like his work there. Thanks for introducing this one to me. Lately, I’ve been thinking of Ms. Houston. She really had the best voice and is sorely missed.

Probably my favorite classic Whitney track I have so many memories of searching for love when I was young and 17 🙂
