    This song is why I became a professional dancer, songwriter and singer. I was 12 when I saw this video. I said "I'm going go do THAT with my life" and i did! I am 45, I have 130 songs. I have 5 musical films. I have taught thousands of students. I had a full scholarship to musical theatre college. I have sold over 250,000 worth of dance so far. I love those 4 backup dancers!!! Babyface is gold. I wish to meet him one day. XO this song is my whole life. ♡K☆A

That's really great your talent took you to that level in your life . Do you have a TH-cam channel or site where you can be seen . What type of dances do you teach or do you teach online . Have to taught any celebrities. Anyway congrats on your journey wishing you all the best. It's sounds like you well deserved it 👏

    What I love about songs like this is that the goal was never to sell a billion records, like a pop song. The goal was just to make the best song you could, so that you sold ENOUGH copies to turn a decent profit and be able to make more. That's why these songs stand the test of time, IMO. For me, this was the last great period in R&B
