This song describes what happened between me and the man I'm going to marry. Thank you for posting. As Randall said, one of the most under-appreciated voices (and songs) in the industry. Howard Hewett is amazing in concert.
Howard Hewett is 'That Dude'. You know how many women I impressed with my "taste in music" when I played his music in the tape deck(and eventually the cd player)? Alexander O'neal was another one, Of course, Babyface. Jonathan Butler. Keith Washington. Freddie Jackson. The ILLEST that EVER did it!
Howard Hewitt is definitely one of the most underrated singers in the history of R&B! His work with Shalamar was legendary and as a solo artist he's made some of the most sensual and romantic songs ever such as this cut and my favorite by him "Show Me" and here in 2008 he's still going strong. Will someone please post his latest cut "I Want To Know"?
...By chance I ran into Howard in Detroit, in a rib joint on Woodward Avenue in the late 80s during a promotional tour. We've been friends ever since.
Things were WILD in those days--I can't believe either of us made it to live in this day.
Clearly, one of the most underacted balladeers of our times.
Keep keeping it clean Howard--From Your Boy in South Beach.---Kpayton911
