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.
Had this jam on a cassette back in high school. I never knew who the artist was. For some reason it just popped in my head and I had to look it up. Artist these days are putting out a lot of crap. This is a great song
Summer of ‘87! This was my song to my then girlfriend/ now wife just before I shipped out for boot camp. She must’ve understood what this was talking about because all these years later we are still together!!!
This is why I love coming to RUclips to listen to music. You can find artist that you've forgotten about or never heard of. These are our lost UNSUNG artist that we never were able to hear enough of.
George couldn't top this song so he left well enough alone. One hit wonder!!! This is the cut of all cuts here. This is my night is a nice cut also done by George Pettis. Go check it out.
When I heard this song when I was in my 20s I've been looking and looking for this song didn't know the artist name all I knew can you wait 63 years old and I have found can you and it's still a beautiful
Que saudades dos bailes da Chic Show, Black Mad e Zimbabwe, das minas, dos camaradas, final dos anos 80 época de ouro, melhor fase da minha vida. Abraço á todos que curtiram aquele tempo bom que não volta nunca mais...
Hey you got that right! Just listening to this at 2 am 6/7/2020 on V103 with Glenn Crosby/DJ Chris Holiday! Over 30 years old and still sounds good! Be Blessed and safe!✊🏽
É MY BROTHERS NESSE TEMPO TÍNHAMOS QUANTIDADE E QUALIDADE A BLACK MUSIC, SEMPRE NOS BRINDOU COM PÉROLAS. DIFÍCIL ESQUECER TAIS MELODIAS. QUEM CONCORDA DÁ UM LIKE. ABRAÇOS VALEU.
Heard this song while at an appointment. I'd totally forgotten about this song. Still know every word. Good Music. They don't make music like this anymore.
I first heard this song in a corner store in KCMO 1985 i ask the lady who sung she said i dont know but iheard it when i was in chicago took me 5 years to find out
Yes when I heard this I was a young girl about 13 and 14 man man man I love George you don't hear songs like this anymore very very old school it takes me way back I love it I love it never gets old to me
this song been playing in my head since yesterday i found it and probably gonna repeat this over and over ... fiance and I might not make it if things don't change.. and no we don't cheat on each other it's just other bull😣
this was one of my favorites back in the day 1988, that was where I was. Bad relationship/relationship[s, the past can be damaging, this just says " I ain't ready" still making that same request. check Baby Face, Two Occasions.
I use to always sing this some when I was a baby! My Aunt Felisha and her husband use to play this song all the time. I love it!! Brings back so many memories of my childhood.❤️ DJ
OMG heard this today on Herb Kent's show. Truly a masterpiece of Soft Smooth Soul. Have not heard this in soooo many years. Yet, it was just like yesterday when I heard it on the radio. I had to stop driving and listen. Awesome song for sure. Too bad the people in music industry did not keep a pulse on what the AA community really truly wants to hold as "gold" in our hearts, and mind.
This is. My cousin ,Giorge Pettus. He's my daddy's brothers son. I love this song, we all can sing. Your cousin Shirley!!!!
Please tell him he's so talented and so many people are still appreciating his music.
He made a dope song
Dope
Is Giorge still singing?
We roller skate to this at Glenwood Roller Rink in Chicago. One of my favorites. ❤❤

1980s old skool i was a kid then❤
Who's listening to this in 2020 thumbs up
I am enjoyin this Jam in 2024😂
They do NOT make music like this anymore! I Cherish this type of music and vibe.
One of the most incredibly beautiful songs. Gets even sweeter towards the end.
That's because all the personnel involved are no longer. No more creative writing composition, arrangement and artist such as this.
Iktr.
This is true love-making , grown-folks music. Please bring back the old school.
I promise it is
