Written by David Foster and Carole Bayer Sager this mid-tempo track pairs Michael with none other than Patti Austin. Sultry word interplay coupled with a big brassy arrangement makes this track an always sure fire listen but the underlying heat of the rhythm arrangement can cause one to move as well.
This song started as James Moody’s alto saxophone solo on the standard “I’m In The Mood For Love”. As Moody recalls the story he was leaving the bathroom and the take was beginning and because he had been playing tenor on most of the session he had to adjust and find the key on alto so the first few notes or the “there I go…” is actually his attempt to find the key. A few years later the lyrics were added to the solo by Eddie Jeffferson and the song was recorded by King Pleasure and as they say the rest is history…

The great Patti Austin was brought in to help school and regulate the ‘youngsters’ on the ‘We Are The World – Haiti’ remake. While I’m a little skeptical of some of the artists chosen and the potential outcome, I’ve gotta believe Lionel, Quincy and Patti will not put out anything less than a high quality product. Personal feelings aside, it’s for a great cause, so go out and support them anyway!
