Okay, you know Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack made this song popular. I LOVED their version; it's a classic and always will be. However, there was another version of this song that I rocked heavily in the mid-nineties and it was sung by Stephanie Mills and Robert Brookins. Stephanie was just cold back in the day - and I mean that in a dynamic way. She and Angela Winbush were two petite

As I was transferring chapters to my flash drive & doing a quick edit of what I'd written so far, the overall storyline took a turn.

Right now I'm 61 pages into my novel 'SL'. It's a GREAT start to an interesting series. It combines varying elements of romance, adventure for a daring African American woman living in North Texas.
