Val,

You do realize, the intro is the same music to "Careless Whisper", by Boy George in the 80's/90's... ...

It was a hit then, but it's the same exact intro...I'm not complaining about the song, the words may fit, but for the older generation it's sometimes hard to get the message of the words when you hear the music of Boy George in the song...lol

[cas10a]

Ok, I listened to the rest, never heard the song from "The Gospel", movie 'cause I haven't seen the movie.  It was a nice song, they just could have left that intro out...lol.  It looses probably half the congregation or audience on the message of the song or the rest of the song just hearing the intro unless you were a big fan of Culture Club.  Intro could/should have been changed to something different in this song.

[Val215]

LOL, actually it's George Michael. I see what you mean though

LOL, actually it's George Michael. I see what you mean though

Yep, you're right, it was George Michael...I'm getting old, I just thought about George somebody and Culture Club was the first to come to mind...lol...I like the song overall though.  Thanks for the post Val...

In the movie they only did a little :30 teaser of the song. Made me mad as heck cuz I went looking for the whole song and couldn't find it.

Oh, and glad to see you back posting Val. Great job!
