Indeed. I said once on ILX that this is one of the most influential R&B songs of its time. Loads of European songs "borrowed" the hook in the ensuing months.

I'll probably end up ticking it, seeing as how I've got seven ticks to spend, and Lex is right, she really did put out a string of good singles, but I don't particular feel much from or towards her in any of those singles.

I don't like it very much, but there's something about the production that really works for me - it feels very much slap bang in the middle of its era and genre; somewhat defining.

Oh, and I'd forgotten the Dance Break.
