:o Yes, I refer to "Young Love". Now, don't get me wrong, it's a fun tune but I think it's fluff and it was 3 years out of sync with what was going on with music at the time. She needed a funkier, more r'n'b edge to her music. Instead she got "Off The Wall" clones and discolite pop. Some songs on her debut like "Don't Mess Up This Good Thing" were a little tighter. I just think it was sort of doomed to go tits up as it was not current enough for 1982. Even in 1980, "Young Love" might have been a bigger hit.
