    That is exactly one side of the real talent of Bananarama, to take on a classic song, by elevating it and make it sound fresh and sometime even more enjoyable than the original. They did that brilliantly with Venus and they did it again with this one. Such a putty, that it did not chart that high as Venus

    I can't understand how this brilliant Spanish rhumba version of The Doobie Brother's classic had such a little impact on the charts and the radio back then. The sound of the flamenco guitar and the Spanish castanets makes this song an instant dancefloor killer which boosts you to get up and dance. I don't know why some pseudo music experts took this Bananarama remake as a devaluation of The Doobie Brothers' original.

With or without SAW, this Bananarama Spanish rhumba version of The Doobie Brothers' evergreen song is a must and should have fared a lot better on the British singles chart. A No. 30 peak on the United Kingdom singles countdown is a joke. Additionally, the Spanish guitar playing and the backing vocals by those rhumba masters called the Gipsy Kings from France are a plus. Finally, just because SAW aren't credited on this song, there's no need to underestimate Youth's producing work on this song. He is a name in the world of producers and has given real masterpieces.

      paulevans1954 I wasn't going to say anything, but I changed my mind. I have never liked this song, not even by the Doobie Brothers. In fact, I HATED this song until Bananarama did it. I was disappointed to see they did a cover of THAT song, but I can at least listen to it. I still, to this day, don't like Michael McDonald's voice. And they aren't an untalented mob. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but taste varies.

      Actually it was Youth who produced this and it's actually very good.
