two sides: stay with me

…We’ve featured the Debarge family on this site before.  Their repertoire comprised of soul, funk, r&b, and later gospel.  Their name was mainly bubblin between 1979 – 1989, as they were the main breadwinners for Motown in the 80′s.  This cut is an instant classic because it’s timeless.  Does this melody sound familiar to you?
