  • New 2023 mix from the original multitracks.This song appeared on Roberta’s 1980 album “Back Together Again” and was written by Stevie Wonder. Roberta sang it solo on the album though you do hear Stevie joining with her in the spoken/rap break. The nice discovery is that Stevie sang the song completely on the multitrack allowing this duet version to be created. I hope you enjoy this version !

    What what WHAT!! I've always loved this track with Roberta and Donny, but this is something else. Stevie laid down the whole vocal? just amazing to discover. Also loved less reverb on Roberta's vocals compared to the original, hits the vibe so well. Week done man, absolutely LOVE THIS! 🤗

      Not too sure about the reverb thing with Roberta, I’m a Reverb Junkie😂

      Donny actually didn’t record this with her. He had already passed when this was recorded for their album together. It’s only Stevie and Luther Vandross singing with her on the original along with the female angles in the background

    I have always Loved this ❤❤ song, I Remember the first time I heard it Back in March, 1980 Dang 44 years Ago. I would Like to Dedicate this to my My Late Husband Jeff Dunn May he RIIP. He was only 53 when he Died from Liver Disease. I was only 19 and he was 18 when we married In 1981 But we Divorced in 1984.

    Music as a child growing up was the only constant in my life. I breathed the words of some songs like they were my own. My mother hipped me to Roberta Flack with Blue Lights in the Basements. I caught wind of the next album with Donny Hathaway. Then I heard this song. The first thing that got me was driving bass. And then I listened to the words. I was lonely when this song came out. Again, the song was like words coming out of my own mouth. I truly love this song. I was 13 going on 14 when this song was released. Love it today like it was the first time I heard it.

      Absolutely beautiful song. Unfortunately Donnie had already passed when this done. It’s only Stevie & Luther on male vocals. Stevie’s boy Nathan Watts on this awesome Bass😊

    First I've heard this with Stevie gonny have to have a doobie in the park with earpods me thinks I've loved the version with donny since I was 19 now 63 and I still listening to it at least twice a week one of those rare tunes that you can zone out to something very spiritual about this ❤️

    This song is a gem and should be far better known that it is. This duet version is excellent, though I do prefer Roberta's reverbed vocal on the original which accentuates the dream-like quality the song has for me. Nonetheless she is excellent without the reverb. I never really got on with the "remastered" version that is on some music services - though again I don't think it's bad - IMO just not as good as the original. Stevie, as always, does a great job here and it's a measure of the man that he gave this winning song away rather than keeping it exclusively for himself. This definitely deserves a formal release.

    • @haroldbrooks4235

      Couldn’t agree with you more. It’s Stevie’s song but the original version with just Roberta with the reverb & her backup vocals including Luther Vandross can’t be touched. I love this version too. Wondering how I would feel if I heard this version first?

    great (and respectful

    remixing/re-editing
    one of the best dance
    compositions from
    my early 20s (as a

    You obviously have the STEMS..and jealousy doesn't accurately describe how I feel. But *in my Stevie whisper* Can you post the Stevie version that plays alll the way to the end. The Reflex version doesn't do that! And thank you thank you thank you for leavng Luther IN and taking much of that reverb out!

    If only they would have added Luther Vandross’s part in here it would have been more lit😊
