Here is some old school alot of people know nothing about. This song came out in 1985...when crack cocaine was hitting the scene. The song talked about the destruction of drugs and what it really is like to be "Strung Out" After doing some research I found out that Songwriter/producer/keyboardist Paul Laurence had seven number one R&B hits: Freddie Jackson's "Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake)," "Jam Tonight," "Tasty Love," "Hey Lover," "Do Me Again"; Stephanie Mills' "(You're Putting) A Rush on Me"; and Meli'sa Morgan's "Do Me Baby." His other credits include Evelyn King's (her label RCA suggested that she drop "Champagne") summer 1981 number one R&B hit "I'm in Love," her number one R&B hit "Love Come Down," "Don't Hide Our Love," and "Get Loose," as well as hits by Lillo Thomas. This man was a talented powerhouse. It was a shame how music took on such a dingy dark turn for the worst in the late 80s through the 2000's. Everyone talks about the status of music now well these people must have forgotten how dark and violent music was in the 90's. Anyway this song is good no matter what year it was released. Yea it was the 80s...cool hair was the in thing...LOL!! I give it two thumbs way the hell up!! Enjoy!
