Reportedly written as a celebration of Ray Calhoun’s infant daughter, this 1982 R&B hit is still smooth and trouble-free, with each proceeding section following a predetermined ideal in post-logic pop structure—like all the best tunes, its all somehow inevitable. B-side edges up the synth-forward P-Funk theatrics while simmering the beat.
