Rahsaan Patterson wrote and recorded the original version of this tune, which was also recorded by Donell Jones and featured on the soundtrack of 'Love And
Basketball' in 2000. I don't think Jones officially released it as only a 12" promo exists of the recording other than on the soundtrack album.
A, now defunct, UK internet radio station Soul24/7.com received a demo from
Patterson when he was interviewed by them. Terry Jones played it on his show
and at his gigs around the UK. It was then picked up by Ralph Tee's
Expansion label and released on 'Soul Togetherness 2001' compilation. As
Donell Jones was a hot property at the time, it was decided that he should
release it, rather than Patterson, and it came out on a LaFace 12" promo in 2000.
