Stevie Wonder - Part-Time Lover - 1985
LYRICS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GfRBxDvrp0
" Part-Time Lover " is a song by American R&B singer and songwriter Stevie Wonder , released as the first single from his twentieth studio album, In Square Circle (1985). The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 , R&B , dance and adult contemporary charts, becoming Wonder's final number one hit to date. The song's simultaneous chart successes made Wonder the first artist to score a number-one hit on four different Billboard charts. The song was also released as a special 12" version. Lyrically, it tells the story of a man who is cheating on his wife with a mistress, only to find out in the end that his wife is cheating on him as well.
"Part-Time Lover" also reached number three on the UK Singles Chart thanks in large part to a performance by Wonder on Top of the Pops in late 1985.
The song featured R&B singer Luther Vandross singing the ad-libs and backing vocals, in addition to Syreeta Wright and Philip Bailey of Earth, Wind and Fire . Wonder earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance in 1986 for the song. Wonder is noted in the liner notes of the 4-CD set Hitsville USA: The Motown Singles Collection Volume 2 1972-1992 as describing the music for the song as an ode to " You Can't Hurry Love " and " My World Is Empty Without You ," both by the Supremes , former Motown labelmates of Wonder. - source
