Joe Sample, who was the keyboard player in The Crusaders, wrote this with Will Jennings, who has written lyrics for Jimmy Buffett, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Peter Wolf and many others, as well as the theme songs for the movies Titanic and An Officer And A Gentleman. According to Jennings, writing for other artists means getting the feel of what they want to do, where they're coming from and what their life has been. In many cases, he spends a lot of time with the artist before writing the songs.
