    This song was the "BOMB" BACK IN THE 80's". The clothing style, the dance moves and the sound of the keyboards and the "Synthesizer" really enhanced the sound and the beauty of this song and made the music sound like (REAL) music, man i miss this kind of music and all the great love songs that came out in the early 80's.

Also I agree with TheAithWONDER about today's artist. If this were todays videos, she would be in something tight and revealing. Selling sex instead of letting their talent speak for itself. I tell you it's a shame. All these feel good music use to be on BET'S Video soul, I don't even watch BET no more.
