Songoftheday 12/2/14 - When you want all the love you deserve and the heat's on your mind...

Jeffrey Osborne - "You Should Be Mine (The Woo Woo Song)"
from the album Emotional (1986)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #13 (one week)
Weeks in the Top-40: 11

Today's Song of the Day comes from soul singer Jeffrey Osborne, who had carved a successful solo career after leaving the funk/disco group LTD in the early 80s. His last album scored him his sixth solo top-40 pop hit with "The Borderlines". For his fourth release, Jeffrey recorded the mid-tempo croon of "You Should Be Mine". Written by Bruce Roberts and Andy Goldmark, the former previously penning hits for Laura Branigan and Donna Summer, the song fit in the adult R&B groove that Whitney Houston, Patti LaBelle, and the like were having success with...

What is "fortifying my love", anyway?

"You Should Be Mine" became Jeffrey's first solo top-20 pop hit in August of 1986, while reaching #2 on both the R&B and Adult Contemporary (or 'easy listening') radio charts in Billboard.
