    Whitney's debut album, Whitney Houston, though released on Valentine's Day 1985, only reached number one on the Billboard 200 in March of 1986..3 months AFTER the release of this song in January 1986. So crazy to imagine she was just a baby star at this time...and who she would become...

    Dexter King's passing brought me here! As compared to Happy Birthday, the Steven Wonder classic, I am not sure that this song got the notoriety that it deserved. Looking back, the talent assembled on this song is phenomenal. Dexter being in the video gave it a high degree of authenticity and showed a generational awareness reflective of his age at the time. Deserved to be mentioned in the same breath as other ensemble classics such as Do They Know It's Christmas, We Are the World, and Sun City!! Rest in Power!!
