Because everyone needs a little piece of heaven.
Seriously, this song is like “let her eat crackers in your bed” good.
Mmm, Marlena Shaw.
This is a prime example of Charles Stepney and Richard Evans’ trademark production and arrangements from the introductory snare to the abrasive, but lifting strings to the drum breakdown. The song is damn near perfect.
“Like a sound you hear,
that lingers in your ear
but you can’t forget
from sundown to sunset.”
