Listen to loves gone bad first- they called Chris Clark- "the white negress" over in england (or was that dusty springfield?) but at any rate- a funky white lady on an otherwise black label- with a killer sound. She recorded another album on the (then) recetly formed weed label (a questionably named motown subsidiary) entitled cc rides again- with a seriously bad ass cover (motorcylce in the dessert related). As soon as that one ends hit play on the next one- Tammi Terrel recorded this song as a little girl- lyrics by Mr. Stevie Wonder- who would later record a much groovier (read:70's) version of the same song. This one never was released untill recently and it's heartbreakingly perfect- to me atleast. She died of a brain tumor I think, in her mid 20's- brain tumors are rough- but the good news is, they're getting better at treating them all the time.
