One thing is crystal 🎙 Kleeer on the 1984 electro-funk classic, 🎵 “Intimate Connection” (💿 Intimate Connection): The sex is lit 🔥! “Secrets learned, secrets to keep,” 🎙 Woody Cunningham continues singing sensually in the first verse, “With one concern, we have no time for sleep.” Hmm, wonder why there is no time for sleep 🤔.  Well, something tells me that “Cling to me for the magic ride” has nothing to with a car…

Anyways, “Intimate Connection” is the definition of a vibe.  As silky smooth and sexy as Cunningham’s vocals are, so is the sound of the backing instrumental.  Those synths (🎙 Norman Durham) and drum programming – those glorious boxy sounding drums – are as important to the success of the track as Cunningham is.  As playful and tastefully titillating as the verses are (“Dawn decorates a night of ecstasy / A breakfast menu of you and me”), it is the chorus that is the centerpiece – the crowning achievement: “Intimate connection, baby (serious) / Oh, baby.” Sure, the chorus is simple but there’s just something so electric about those harmonized backing vocals emphasizing just how serious this intimate connection is.  Such a shame that 🎵 “Intimate Connection” did not chart on the pop charts, sigh.  It did achieve success on the R&B chart, as well as being the sample of choice for the 🎙 2Pac classic, 🎵 “California Love (Remix)”.
