This review is from: Best Things (Audio CD)

The collaboration between Miss Janet and LUTHER with appeared on the 1992 movie "Mo Money". The original versions was produced by Jam & Lewis. This years would be this song's first round or remixes with more to follow in 1995. The remixes here are from David Morales & Frankie Knuckles (USA) and CJ Mackintosh (UK).
The Morales/Knuckles version breezes along with lush keyboards and a straight forward beat giving it a happy-go-lucky feel. For the Def Version, Morales goes it alone. This is basically a dub version.
The CJ Mackintosh is a little more serious sounding once it gets underway. During the intro the mix goes through a few changes giving me the impression that CJ could not make up his mind in what direction to take the song. His 9 minute plus vocal mix is followed by two dubs.
For the original and vocal remixes, BBD and Ralph Tresvant appear for some rap action. Their parts would be dropped in future remixes, perhaps because those remixes would be to focus on Janet's "Design of a Decade" and Luther's European Greatest Hits release.

Here is the line-up:
1. Classic 12" Mix
2. CJ's UK 12" Mix
3. Def Version
4. CJ's FXTC Dub
5. CJ's Vinyl Zone Dub
6. Album Version
