Classic. As corny as this might sound to some, it always makes me happy listening to this song... even for a hot minute.
Oh and that signature long note is kinda awsome, haha.

I was introduced to this song through the GAP commercial. I like what Kirk Franklin and Too Short did to it. It brings back so many memories.
Here is the GAP Khaki Soul ad from 1999. It's a shame there is no full version of that mix.

I like it as several of his other songs ("Just The Two of Us" w/Grover Washington Jr, & Lean on Me) although it starting to be overplayed on classic hits radio & TV commercials especially after his death a few years ago. When I was younger, this song would be played on defunct WNUA smooth jazz 95.5 and I'm pretty sure Lite FM 93.9 (the big AC station in my market) played it too.

What a great song. Inspiring and really just transends you to a higher plane. Especially that 18 second note.
