This song was on its way to #1. "Love Hangover" arrived and just surged onto the charts. Has any other song simultaneously made it to #1 on The Pop, Dance/Disco and R&B/Soul Charts?

Didn't Upside Down also repeat that success
If this song was on it’s way to #1 it was taking the scenic route. :rolleyes:

PS I adore ITITALT, but I didn’t and still don’t see it hitting #1 except AC perhaps, and a dismal showing on R&B chart. Still, I think about how if the album was held back for about six weeks after the single was released, it would have made the crucial strides it needed to fly. By the time the 5th Dimension got their grubby hands on Love Hangover, Ross’ version would have MUCH less impact. On paper, ITITALT was the ideal follow-up to Mahogany, followed by Love Hangover and then, perhaps you’re Good my child or AInt nothing but a maybe. I never saw one love in lifetime as a viable single release and fell it reached its full potential mid 20’s pop, but did little to enhance her catalog.
It's a beautiful song that would probably have gone top 10 had it not been pushed aside in favour of Love Hangover, but probably not another no.1. It still sounds wonderful today. I heard Ken Bruce play it on his radio 2 show the other morning.Quote:

I still adore this beautiful ballad, and i still regard it as one of her finest efforts, and to have her sing that iconic opening line to me remains one of the highlights of my career. If only we had cellphones/mobile phones back then!
Indeed, a moment to treasure. Thanks for sharing it.Quote:
