I’ve always liked this song, too, and hearing the soulful groove of it again reminded me of the early ’80s when I often listened to 93.1 WZAK. They had a late-night, slow-jam show called “For Lovers Only”. This was the theme song:
I was a big admirer of Jeffrey Osborne at the time, and though I don’t specifically remember hearing this song on “For Lovers Only”, I’d be willing to bet it turned up in the playlist at least once.
I do, however, very clearly remember hearing this racy number from Kwick on the program (remember, I was about 10 years old at the time):
And you can’t do slow jams without including the late, great Teddy Pendergrass. (And it gives me an excuse to put his handsome face in the feature image.)
Thus ends another edition of Why April is the Way She Is.
