Thank You VEVO for finally adding this video!! Love this song - it's an underrated Ross classic. Any other Ross fans out there who appreciate this track?? She's a pop icon for sure but she's underrated as a soul/R&B singer. Friend To Friend, Dirty Looks, Workin' Overtime, I Will Survive, Keep It Right There, Sugar Free and Not Over You Yet are some overlooked gems.

Rock n Roll Hall of Fame has cheated her royally. She should have been inducted as a solo act ages ago. She's been robbed.
