The soulful ballad was released off Williams' My Melody album in 1981 and became the most successful track off the album reaching as high as number fifty-three on the Billboard Hot 100 becoming an even bigger success on the R&B chart where it peaked at number eleven.
It has since gone on to become one of Williams' most requested songs over a career that has spanned over thirty years.
The song featured production by Williams and respected Philly soul producer Thom Bell.
The song was recorded at Philadelphia's acclaimed Sigma Sound Studios.
One of Williams' influences, Patti LaBelle, covered the song for her 2005 album, Classic Moments.
