I'd heard this song before, but completely forgotten it. It's currently all over TV in the new GAP ads.
Insanely catchy, great disco song. One of their best songs I think.
It made #8 on the Hot 100, #1 R&B.

Ha! Winning points from me!
I hate the GAP and I'm angry that they used this!
This is a great disco song like you said.

I love this song. Back in 1999, Phatts and Smalls remixed it as "September '99", the former-EnergyFM used to play it a lot. You should check it out.

I love this song too. I did just check out the remix and I like it. Its basically 'cause of the Gap commercial even though I knew of this song long ago.

Love this track! And yeah, the GAP ads have definately put this song back on the map for me.
Don't like the GAP, but I can't hate on 'em for using good music to sell their clothes. Seems like a good strategy.

I liked this song, too. But I didn't really like how Crystal Waters sampled it in her song "Just Say Hey If You Feel Alright".

Great song. "Fantasy" is even better, and "After the Love Is Gone" is one of the best ballads of all-time. Outstanding band. They made a lot of great songs. Wish there was something comparable to them today.

Classic! I loved the Phats & Small Remix. I liked how it just added a newer beat to it. Otherwise, it was exactly the same.

Kirk Franklin's remake is now one of the most added songs on Urban AC radio. One thing that is disturbing is that I cannot get a hold of his version any freakin where!

Everytime I listen to this song, I think about September 1999. Love Earth, Wind, and Fire. This is one of their greatest songs ever!! It never gets old to me. They're such a talented and wonderful band. They will always remain one of my favorites ever!!!
