Recording

Recorded in 1977 for Barry White Sings for Someone You Love, with Barry White self-producing the session; John Roberts was credited for orchestration and Frank Kejmar for engineering on the album release. It was one of the two R&B Top Ten singles from Barry White Sings for Someone You Love, the 1977 album that returned White to No. 1 on the R&B albums chart and No. 8 on the Billboard 200. The song remained a recognizable Barry White track and was later sampled by Ashanti on "Feel So Good," extending its reach into later R&B.
