One of Janet Jackson’s biggest hits- spending 8 weeks at #1. Also won a Grammy for Best R&B Song.
I was still a pretty big fan of Janet’s, but began losing my enthusiasm for her music by this time, as I felt her songs lacked the punch and excitement of her earlier stuff. While this song is sensual and pleasing enough, it never really goes anywhere, and I was amazed it spent so many weeks at #1, undeservedly so.
sad thing is- it stands out amongst the #1 hits before and after it that year..
