I love this song! I don't think it's on her greatest hits CD, though.  My sister didn't like the part in the video where she does the "chicken bob" thing with her head. |

It's OK. It was her comeback hit of sort. Her follow-ups, "Live For Your Love" and "Pink Cadillac" were much better.

Her (Jump Start) and Gladys Knight's "Love Overboard" missed the Top Ten on the Billboard Hot 100 with Reggie & Vincent Calloway produced hits that both hit the Top 5 on the R&B charts. The brothers had a great year in 1987 with a grip of R&B smash hits including "Casanova" by Levert.
#2 Billboard R&B
#13 Hot 100 (as stated earlier)
#1 R&R Urban
#14 R&R CHR (as stated in the topic w/o source)

I love all of Natalie's music from this period, and she really delivered on this track. Total fun 80's song that you don't hear much anymore.

I wonder if Natalie was thinking, "What? I have to learn choreography for this video?"
