Sixth and final single from 1986's Dancing On the Ceiling. Written with Greg Phillinganes. Peaked at #20 on the Hot 100, #12 R&B, and #5 AC.

Love it. One of my favorite solo songs by him. Gives me carefree summertime vibes.

I don't think anyone's ever determined what the title means, but some have suggested it's a reference to "Selah" in the Bible (a word which the meaning of has also been under debate).

LQ version of the video (only one I could find on YouTube)

12" Version

This is playing right now an old episode of AT40 from April 1987. I really like this.

"It was released in 1987 as the final single from the album, and was Richie's last single of the 1980s."
