So many nice chord changes. A subtle classic of late eighties R&B. What say you?

something very kate bush Wuthering Heights about the chord changes. the songwriting is rather a trip, in an awesome way. love her voice.

Surprised this is the only thread for Brenda. Her self-titled record is just. "Way Back When"... Jesus.

Have you heard "Love Life", her second album? "Lucky" is So Amazing. Maybe my fave R&B song ever

I own none of her albums. Is that a good place to start?

Yeah! I'll see if I can post some Youtubes when I get home

yes yes YES. Oh, "Lucky" is so good. It hits the tape so hard for R&B.

i always forget that that's her. i like that brian & brenda album. i love the album that piano in the dark is on. anyone who likes that song needs that album.

I only just discovered "Way Back When" this year and, man, it's right up there with my favorite almost-disco songs ever.

Nice re-edit here:

Add me to those doofs who only picked up on 'Way Back When' a couple of years ago
