you read my mind. great son i listen too and get my friends sick of cause they cannot get with the sound inner city has to this day. great song, glad i am not the only one who still appreciates it and what the group has given us all.peace.
Inner City and Ten City were THE house groups of all time...both produced consistently top quality tunes that still sound good today, almost 20 years later. This and Pennies From Heaven were Inner City's finest moments IMO, not forgetting of course Big Fun, which started it all off.
David Morales (who mixed this) & Frankie Knuckles always know how to make classy, well crafted mixes. I think they've remixed everyone larger act in the business active during the 90's. Madonna, Michael, Janet, Mariah, PSB, Spice Girls & even Eric Clapton to name a few.
This is a typical top quality DEF MIX remix. You can find a similar sound on "It's hard sometimes" Frankie Knuckles and various remixes by both DJ's. My personal fave' is "Stay this way" Brand New Heavies (Morales remix). The added keyboards mirror the early 90's remixes from both DM & FK. And Where loves lives, followed by Space cowboy and what about Unbreak my heart? Top draw from start to finish... buy the DEF MIX TRIPLE CD I say!
this is one of Inner City's songs (cover) that's closest to my heart, if it wasn't that i love Big Fun so much! and i agree with nineballfreek, miss the bass here, it's so big it's fundamental to this track
Agreed, outstanding choon but where is the: a) Bass on this recording b) The DEF mix dub on the end I'll have to dig out the vinyl and post up the full mix
By 'better quality' I was referring to audio quality. I've heard the Inner City version in its true form and this is like listening to it with styro-foam cups over the ears and the bass turned right down. The Stephanie Mills one is alright, but I guess I took a liking to this one more.
The group the Chimes and Inner City, their music styles are very similar ,listen to the Chimes song called 123, and tell me what you think! could they be the same group with a name change with a new lead singer~
@LatinoFlava thanks man! Yes, I knew the original by Stephanie Mills (and love it too, Stephanie Mills is amazing!), but I have to say this is one of the very few covers (maybe even the only one) that I prefer to the original....Usually I hate covers, but this one is the bomb!!
Does anyone out there know if there are any more versions of this song out there besides this and the Stephanie Mills version? I remember hearing one other version of this song on the radio around 1988/89,a really cool version of this song but I could never find out who the artist was.would anyone know? or is inner city the only one?
This version is okay, mostly because of the drum line, but the vocals are sub-par - at best, particularly the background. Stephanie's version all the way.

One of Inner City's most under rated song covers!
This track never gets old.
Great Song by Inner City. Use to listen to this a lot in the 1990's.
What a classic, you don't get tunes this good anymore....
Brilliant! Can't believe it's early 20 years ago!!!
I really like this 'dance' ballad song. The drumcomputer is super. And Paris can sing this tune very easily.
Great group! Great tune!!
Thanks for posting.
that look shes giving uz ..oooh. Fabulous song! Great extraloud
I normally dislike covers but I am fond of this one.
Class, was only listening to this on CD yesterday ! Thanks !

Timeless midtempo house, and incredible voice by Paris Grey.
Tears. I love this song. Inner city and Soul 2 soul I love yo'll.

I have been looking for this video forever, thanx so much for posting :-)
Perfect music for our Love Lounge.
this is wonderful, danced to this in NYC Frankie Knuckles SF or SFB ( sound factory)
Yes. They had Frankie remix this for the American "Big Fun" LP version replacing "Power of Passion" that was on the British version "Paradise".
This song takes me back y'all

I like this song and video. Thanks!!!
i love stephanie mills but this is even better!
this is one of Inner City's songs (cover) that's closest to my heart, if it wasn't that i love Big Fun so much! and i agree with nineballfreek, miss the bass here, it's so big it's fundamental to this track
Thanks for the upload
Yes. It's on Stephanie Mills' 1979 Mtume/Lucas produced LP "What Cha Gonna Do With My Lovin'". Much better quality!
when frankie crocker came back to 'BLS in the fall of '89 after a 5 year absence he wore the extended version of this out
@oldschooljunkie You definitely know your stuff, this totally sounds like Frankie Knuckles and the David Moreles music from that incredible era.
'inner city'what can i say 'they were the business''loved all there tracks'.
Only a couple 1000 hits. Sad. This is their best tune, in my opinion. It's just that it's mellow, and slow tunes don't pack dance floors.
Sound quality is shit, but then again that's how the song sounded on my cassette back then, so thanks for the memories!
verry good 1990
Agreed, outstanding choon but where is the:
a) Bass on this recording
b) The DEF mix dub on the end
I'll have to dig out the vinyl and post up the full mix
I dig Steph's version but I give the edge to this mix.
By 'better quality' I was referring to audio quality.
I've heard the Inner City version in its true form and this is like listening to it with styro-foam cups over the ears and the bass turned right down.
The Stephanie Mills one is alright, but I guess I took a liking to this one more.
Could'nt agree more.....
also sampled on the DMX song When Im Nothing off The Great Depression album
Great tune! But does anyone have a better quality version??
Look no further. This is the one. I was spinning lots of records back in those years, so I should know.
The group the Chimes and Inner City, their music styles are very similar ,listen to the Chimes song called 123, and tell me what you think! could they be the same group with a name change with a new lead singer~

classic house
Chill out "ochentoso"!!!
Yes!!!
This is beautiful! Soulful and sexy!
i have the 12" vinyl, it is excellent, how do i upload a mp3 sound file
Does anyone out there know if there are any more versions of this song out there besides this and the Stephanie Mills version?

@oldschooljunkie Yes, you are right. It is better, way better, than the original.
dmx has done a version
@oldschooljunkie it is a Def mix production.
Does Franckie Knuckles have his hands in this???? Sounds very much like his style
Great song ... beautiful video ... terrible audio quality.
This remix was done by Frankie Knuckles AND David Morales.
bass?
oh my god
The hot shit!
Stephanie Mills, watch out!
@Mikanseizin1 I think they surpass it, but hey...
Just a bit special x
This version is okay, mostly because of the drum line, but the vocals are sub-par - at best, particularly the background. Stephanie's version all the way.
i meant DMX sampled it not the other way round
Juillet14, you must be a yougin' to say something like that?
It's a Frankie Knuckles remix
sorry meant nearly
they cant win the orignal, still good though.
I like Stephanie's version better
