Two singers who never planned a duet took Bobby Caldwell's song to number one, David Foster producing.

Tim McGraw cut it first and passed; Chesney took it to six weeks at number one on country radio.

Every major label passed, then a copy reached the Netherlands, came back as Peter Slaghuis's Dutch Mix, and charted top three.

Gonzalez wrote it with his brother Yann, and Ken Thomas produced an album that worships John Hughes and eighties synths.

Piano and Meg's drums instead of a riff, cut at White's Detroit house, thematically the album's one cheerful track.

Anita Pointer takes the lead, Richard Perry produced, and a 1984 reissue lifted a number thirty single to nine.
