When I was in Jr, High School in the 1970s(!), I baby sat this family in Ithaca, NY. When the children were in bed, I loved listening to the records that the family had, and this was my absolute favorite song, I would listen to it over and over. I didn't watch TV, I didn't raid the fridge, I would listen to their records, and this song, over and over. It brings back so many memories! Thank you Cynthia and Joaquina. Your voices are amazing, and perfect for this song. 💕

My mom was a teacher. She was also my teacher. Every morning in 1995/1996 (I was 6 then & my mom was the age I am now - 33) before work (for her) and school (for me and mysister), she played the Fugees version of this song and stopped at McDonalds and got us the hotcakes and sausages combo. This song always reminds me of my mommy 💕💕
