## Popular culture

* The Shalamar recording is also famously associated with the introduction of the Moonwalk dance by Shalamar member Jeffrey Daniel on the UK music show Top of the Pops in June 1982, several months before Michael Jackson performed the move on the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever television special.
* For the Season 3 Finale of Girlfriends, the Dance scene at the end of the episode originally aired with the Shalamar version of this song as background music, though for streaming and DVD releases, the rights to this song couldn't be secured.
