I've always loved this song. Wouldn't it be neat to have a guy be so in love with you he'd write you a song that was both romantic and cool? But Suggie Otis had to be on drugs when he wrote it--it's just too phantasmagorical to explain any other way. Suggie's version is much sparer than The Brothers Johnson's, but IMO the brothers got the arrangement just right. Tevin Campbell's cover was never that big, which just goes to show you can't improve on perfection.
