About Two Occasions
"Two Occasions" is an R&B song written by Babyface, Darnell Bristol and Sid Johnson (who was the former manager for Babyface's early group, Manchild) [1]. It was produced by Babyface and L. A. Reid for The Deele's third studio album Eyes of a Stranger (1987). The ballad was released as the album's second single in December 1987. It's the only song on the album that features Babyface on lead vocals, which alternate between himself, Bristol, and Carlos "Satin" Greene throughout the course of the song. It has since been remade into a live version with added vocals from Babyface with all original vocals from The Deele intact; this version appeared on the 12" maxi single and also three years later on his album, A Closer Look. The Whispers cut a version of the song that appeared on their 1997 album Songbook : Volume One - The Songs of Babyface. The song and Babyface were later referenced by Mariah Carey in her 2005 hit song, "We Belong Together."The song is also sampled in the 2009 hit song "Want It, Need It" by Plies featuring Ashanti. It was also sampled in the song "I Still Love You" by Next on their Rated Next album. Rap/hip hop artist Charlie Manhattan released his version of "Two Occasions" in 2007, from his solo debut album The Manhattan Project. Faye Wong also covered the song in Cantonese, titled as "Miss You Night and Day" found in her 1992 album, Coming Home.more »
