    A couple of fun facts... Dennis wrote this song for the movie The Big Easy. It was done around this same year. Dennis shared a band with Bonnie at the time. His band was called The Eclectics. I used to go to rehearsals with them and Bonnie would get off stage and Dennis would get on. Bonnie lived with Dennis at the time Nick of Time came out. They were just friends, nothing else. She is really sexy and gives off an incredible vibe. I was just 10 years old back then, but I used to go to the bars and clubs where Dennis would get up with the Neville brothers and other bands and play until the wee hours of the morning. It was an awesome, crazy time back then. Bonnie and Dennis are still friends today although they don't see much of each other because of schedules etc. Dennis is actually a great songwriter and just released a new album. Peace!

      Buddy Quaid holy crap! I’m so intrigued! It sounds like you’ve had a great life if that’s what you experienced at that young of an age! I’d love to hear the stories you have to tell!

    My late husband loved to dance. This was our favorite dance tune. Oh so romantic. Most men do not like to dance. Mine did and there was nothing like his arms wrapped tightly around me. Boy that sax, it does things to you.

    This is a great song. Louisiana definitely had an impact on Dennis while he filmed The Big Easy. New Orleans is like a flawed yet beautiful jewel to those who love it.

    Beautiful song, I like Dennis's voice, this was recorded live at the Storyville Jazz Hall, New Orleans, LA 1989. Dennis Quaid , Bonnie Raitt, the legendary Neville Brothers with Aaron Neville and Greg Allman performed before a live audience.

From the ages of the stars, I would imagine that it was made some time in the 80's and Quaid has his hair like it was when he played Jerry Lee Lewis in Great Balls of Fire.
