Teena Marie scored a Top 5 R&B hit with this single in 1981. This was, I believe, the lead-off single from "It Must Be Magic".
It has an incredible instrumental supplied by Rick James.
Hot 100: #50
Black Singles: #3

Hey, I just heard this song yesterday (on 80s.fm)... great song, although I still like "Lovergirl" better.

Man it brings me memories of my childhood in Phoenix Arizona. Thanks for sharing- I think I will listen to song right now! (and I thought that Slick was a real name, huh!)

Oh hell yeah, I think I like this barely a notch ahead of "I Need Your Lovin", and I think I still appreciate "Lovergirl" for at least getting this sound into the mainstream, but like INXS, how can you go wrong IMHO. Great artist, who had 2 great duets with Rick, and I wanna know, what is Teena doing now??

One of my favorites from Teena Marie though my all-time favorite from her is "Lovergirl". Heard this as an 80s old school cut on WGCI and V103 when I was younger.

one of the first chart songs to feature a female rapping which was Teena herself. Blondie's Rapture was first but this might be the second one.
