The singer on this song name is Valerie Pinkston.. such a dynamic voice… she has a couple of songs on UA-cam you can preview.. I believe she attended Cass Tech high school in Detroit.. She has been to Japan to do some work and can be seen on Chapter 8,s reunion on UA-cam…
What a great song, it bring back so many memories as a young teenager during the 80's when loving was a mysterious. Thank you Chapter 8 for such wonderful, beautiful songs couldn't win the hearts of gorgeous ladies without Give Me A Chance, I Just Wanna Be Your Girl, So In Love and my favorite Ready For Your Love, which make me think about Kimberly A. Roman, each time I hear it.
@@KingAlone516 i would've thought I'm ready for your love or I just want to be your girlfriend would've been their biggest hits. This is my favorite record by them.
I love this song! I have been looking for it for at least 20 years. I knew it was Chapter 8 and that Anita wasn't signing the lead! Thank you so very much for posting this. They just don't make jams like this anymore! I've played it over and over and it sounds just as good today as it did all of those years ago! This song is deep and makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck! Thank you, Neofunkyman! You brough a big smile to my face!
I bought their album “this loves for real” album in 1985 I was 20/21 loving life and this kind of music, I would love it if it became available on Spotify 😊
Don't know why this song popped into my head after not hearing it for years but I had to hear it! I have always loved this song! Thanks for posting it!!! ♥️
Around '88 at Morgan State University Picking up WHUR in nearby DC This was a gem I dont recall hearing anywhere else- not even my beloved WDAS (Philly)

blackgold63 Band members of this group has went on to work with other artist, including well known Gospel artists as well......It's what they're doing today.......
Aunty Valerie for sure has one for her record books. From singing with chapter 8 to background vocalist in Luther's singing crew. That's quite an experience.

This came out during the summer of 1988. It was really big in Detroit. 107.5 WGPR.
It was big here in the uk too along with real live off the album
It was big on 107.5 WBLS in New York in 88 as well
this song is their biggest hit of their career but for some reason is also their most forgotten.
@@marktaylor6047 wow,really? I thought this was just a local hit here.

Can't make this out?
@@neofunkyman1 korean famous singer mixed this song in his set
Was this lead singer pre or post Anita? If she was around, I guess that's why they weren't THAT impressed with Anita. Love this jam!!!
post
Anita went solo in the early eighties..... the subsequent albums 84/85 & 87/88 featured a different female lead.
Anita Baker was Before this lady 🎤 Singer 👨🎤
I think this was post Anita, the lead here isn't her thats for sure.
No it's not Anita on lead......She only recorded on the first album.....
Think the singer named Caroline Crawford took over after Anita Baker, this was their last album before they stopped for some reason.
blackgold63 Band members of this group has went on to work with other artist, including well known Gospel artists as well......It's what they're doing today.......
Thank you for the info, glad that they are still doing something after their time as Chapter 8
blackgold63 You're welcome ...Please note: Anita Baker has retired.....
Is the female lead singer Valerie Pinkston? This is a great album 😊
Yes, it was.
Aunty Valerie for sure has one for her record books. From singing with chapter 8 to background vocalist in Luther's singing crew. That's quite an experience.
