Love it! It was originally intended to be for Diana Ross, but was given to Thelma instead. It topped the soul singles, Hot 100, and disco charts.

I love her version & the original. FKJ sampled her version in his 'Lying Together'. One of my favorite samples.

Amazing song. Such a great hook and chorus. The production is great too. Eyes Cream sampled the instrumental for their song "Magdalena".

This is a classic, isn't it? I remember knowing it all my life.

Much enjoy it. This and Bonnie Pointer's "Heaven Must Have Sent You" pack a nice 1-2 punch.

I didn't like it. KTU played the hell out of this over and over and over back in the day and got tiring.

Nice song and I wish they had given it to Donna Summer I can hear her singing this song!

Was her biggest hit but my favorite from her is the 1984 R&B track "You Used to Hold Me So Tight". I prefer Themla's version over the 1986 Communards version. I would hear this on defunct 103.5 Jammin Oldies when I was younger.
