Tell Me Something Good

1. We Knew Them

When we met them first, she had just changed her stage name.
The guys in the band were calling her YM (her name was Yvette Maris). A year later, everyone just called her Chaka, so it caught on quick.
She was a few years older than me, but I think she was still a teenager.
They played at least once each summer at weekly concerts with which my dad was tangentially connected, so we had backstage passes every week.
She was a sweetie. The band was super nice too.
And, they were very tight, live.
We met them a year before this song was released. Even after this song broke big, they came back to play each summer for 3 more years. (They all lived only about 30 miles away.)
I was so psyched when I heard this on the radio the first time.

2. Till now I didn't know Stevie Wonder wrote that

Never saw her live but I do remember the first time I saw her, she was on the Dick Cavett Show. My heart raced a bit

3. I Understand

She was very cute. She probably still is. Had a billion dollar smile. Her whole face lit up when she smiled.
