I've never properly sat down to this one.

    I have always loved this song. In fact this is one that even my parents enjoy listening to. I have even heard my dad, years ago, singing the song to himself while walking around the house (when I still lived with my parents). I wish they would swap this song in live for Last Kiss a bit more, but can understand why they don't.

    Weirdly enough, same with my parents. My mom absolutely loves it. She asks me to play it all the time. Would love to hear it live, and subbing it in for Last Kiss a little more often would be amazinig.

    not that weird that you parents would dig it. it's old-school motown style

    i always loved it, thought it was way better than last kiss, and never understood why last kiss took off so hard but this one got left behind..

    Agree with you.

    It's growing up just like me.
