    I heard this song late one night on the radio and it was so good. For weeks I listened for it and went to the local mall music stores, couldn't find it. Finally one day I took a bus ride into the hood with a friend. We happened to go into a mom and pop type record store. I saw the Giorge Pettus album and picked it up. I saw the title on the back and hoped this was the song I was looking for and bought it with the money I was supposed to buy lunch with. That hungry afternoon was totally worth it when I got home and put the record on, and to my great joy, it was the record I wanted. 30 plus years later I still have that vinyl.
