Was reminded of this one in the midst of a discussion about the musical exploits of one Jermaine Jackson (who produced this song, and album). If her name sounds familiar, it's largely due to her close ties to Stevie Wonder, who was married to her at one time, produced two classic projects early in her career, and is even playing synthesizer on this track.

Syreeta has one of the sweetest voices out there, and it's no surprise that through a good deal of her career it's been utilized on deep ballads. She also remained a perfect vocal foil for Stevie Wonder, as in its upper register, her voice has a very youthful quality to it that shone for many years.

So this (and for the most part, the rest of the material on this album), it was kind of a shock to hear her on the new wavey, simple but funky, light-hearted but purposeful instrumentation of this song.

Once reintroduced, this song got repeated at D'Mumblo "Another Life" levels.
