"On my block" had never heard this before, like so many of the other old school classics from before 1991, when I hear them I know them from the rap and hip hop songs where they have been sampled. It's crazy.
The end sounds like this Christmas lol

Love the harmony on the hook. What a beautiful song. Still sounds good in 2022.
Greatest Duet of All-Time
No song exemplifies the saying “Black Is Beautiful” quite like this one. This is R&B at its blackest and purest.
Scarface My Block.
scarface sampled this for his song called my block.
Always wondered where Scarface got his sample for My Block.
Im,clean
If you don’t love this tune, you have no soul.
I won't lie. I can't get past "If I lose you, I'd be ruined forever" without tearing up.
An alternative Black National Anthem!
Oh, man, send my soul home! These two angels are the hand of the Lord.
Scarface used this sample..ill shit
Donnie Hathaway, always GAVE us his fans a MARVELOUS, FABULOUS Performance…..the voice of AN ANGEL…..PS Untouchable, RIP IN the AFTERLIFE….
M. O. P.
Fact: Stevie Wonder’s singing style changed after the Sixties. This man here is the reason. Rest up, Donny.
