Glad to see another Chaka Khan fan on the forum.

This track is pretty flawless as well.

This and California Dreamin' - basically everything I want in a pop song.

I think I inadvertently stumbled upon your Guardian comments username! Is it The Snufkin by any chance?

If it is I may have only used it once or twice at most, maybe more than 3-or-so-years-ago, and I totally don't remember; so no, probably not!

tbh I only really 'post' online on Twoism, and don't use too many other services.

In 1979 Kirsty MacColl released They Don't Know which is pretty much a perfect 1950's style pop song. But the company pressing the singles were on strike so it's been overlooked. It's been covered by loads of people including wierdly Tracy Ullman. Most recently this version by Suzanna Hoffs of the Bangles.

When I want something 'pop' I reach for New Order, Blur or Stone Roses. I suppose that's cutting edge for some people lol. Also Revolver by The Beatles.

And I also love that 'They Don't Know' by Kirsty MacColl/Tracy Ullman, but thats top secret okay?
