I discovered this track only about ten years ago. It
made a pretty shy appearance on the Hot 100, peaking at 31 in 1990, I believe. The US commercial CD single has several versions. Curious as to which was the 45 version, and if it is featured on this CD, presumably any of the first three? Garden-Sweet-Seduction-Suite/release/2383756">US CD Maxi Single |

Thanks Ed, I suppose one of the first two tracks was the
one used for airplay. |

This cracked the national Top 40 on sales alone I'm pretty certain. It
went to 20 on Hot 100 sales from the R&B audience buying the single at the chain stores but never cracked the airplay Top 40 side. The guys also performed it together on Oprah so that helped spur crossover sales as well. If I recall right it was the lowest Top 40 charter in 1990 to be certified Gold. I heard it played heavily while it was a current on R&B station WJLB Detroit in its complete album version. The only time I heard it on Top 40 radio was on American Top 40 and I think they played part one of the promo but I can't be 100 percent certain. I just recall it wasn't the full track.
