Harry Ray, Al Goodman and William Brown worked together as 'The Moments' until 1980, when they switched record companies. They started recording as Ray, Goodman & Brown and their first single, 'Special lady' was an immediate hit. It reached number 1 on the American R&B chart and number 5 on the pop chart. In the Netherlands, they reached number 8 in the Dutch Top 40. But strangely enough, the single didn't chart in the UK.I bought this single in Rotterdam, where I was to see Janet Jackson live in concert that night. I'd say this song has a more enduring quality.
