    Yo FREDDYINPTOWN, ease up. Sounds like you had it rough in the eighties. This also goes down as a DISCO CLASSIC, no matter how you feel about those days. It wasn't a solely GAY song, in fact, I would bet that it became a monster record because of all the "straight" clubs that played the heck out of it, including ME!! WOMEN loved this record!! It was the most requested song in its day. A sure fire floor jammer that was often played more than once a night. Don't you remember the mixes with MIQUEL BROWN?? How about the thousands of possibilities to re-mix it. Despite the garbage written above,this is a must have record. On my scale from 1-10 it gets a very easy 10. Take that Freddy!!!!!!!!!!

    Woeful post-disco junk, with tinny arrangements that emphasize the singer's vocal limits.

    Of course, there's more to it than that; taske it from one who was there, this big gay disco hit perfectly reflected the AIDS desparation of the time, especially in its lyrics. In short, a distasteful record that probably had to be what it was, when it was.
