      The Masters at Work Dub is class. Still sounds good after all these years.

        Heard this for the first time, the Kenlou Mix...imitation is the highest form of flattery...they did an excellent job

          Really diggin the MAW dub on this. Kenlou mix > Album mix - that's just my personal preference. That Reprise would work well as a set starter, mid-set breakdown or even the outro! Nice selection of mixes.

            really beautiful. This is in original by Diana Ross from 79. written by Ashford & Simpson.
            MAW are brillant. And the Dub is cool.

              the MAW dub is a masteclass in New York underground sound.
              Frankie Feliciano taking it extra deep and funky on the remix.
              It just skips along and drops in n out perfectly, and with the Vincent Montana string parts.
              An old favorite.
              It's gonna make you move.

                Great release and all the mixes are of the quality youd expect from a track produced by MAW, with strings conducted by disco legend Vincent Montanna Jr. and featuring the vocals of The Braxtons. The vocal mixes are pure pop-house (though still excellent) and had wide commercial appeal at the time (this track hit top 40 here in the UK). The MAW album mix is probably the most accomplished version with very crisp production. The Kenlou mix is slightly less busy and fairly similar to the MAW album mix. My clear favourite though, has to be the Masters at Work dub, with extra production from Frankie Feliciano. Its a straight up house workout that drops the live bass in favor of a more electronic bass-line, adds funkier heavy weight house beats and ends up with a far more underground feel to the vox mixes. A repetitive loop of part of the vocal fades in and out, sending me into a trance whenever i hear it, classic MAW

                  Cover version of Diana Ross.But a good one.The MAW Album Mix is the one to go for.Starts as a slow r&b jam and then
                  rises up to some typically end 90ties vocal-disco-house.
                  The other versions are between useful dj tool(kenlou mix)
                  and somehow boring.
