There are so many things I like about this song. The two harmonics that open the song (which happen to be exactly the same ones used on Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" many years later)The bass is way up front and center in the mix - very unusual but the licks are so tasty!The use of the "Boooooooo" disco noise made popular in Anita Bell's "Ring My Bell"The fact that its sung by Bonnie Pointer of the Pointer SistersThe elusive nature of trying to categorize it. Country? Pop Ballad? R&B? All of the above.Even the sappy lyrics seem to work here. I don't usually go in for this type of track, but if you can look beyond the fluffy top layer, there is a lot going on with this song.
Give it a shot and hit me up in the comments with your thoughts.
