Wonderful, a classic, and fabulously moving vocals by Shara. love the percussions and piano too. A few years ago on GLR (now BBC Radio London) this was voted the number 2 track of all time, number one being I Am The Resurrection which I also love

An immense track indeed. You would have to be entirely soulless to feel nothing when this plays. In fact, you'd have to be soulless AND bereft of all senses. .
