Very Special by Debra Laws. I used to sing this duet with my father when I was a child. My parents were, are, and always will be very into Motown. We listened to albums while cleaning the house, burned CDs in the car, and in any situation where we had enough time to put a record on the turntable. Songs like "Very Special" shaped how I felt about my parents, love in general, and to this day are the soundtrack to all of my memories.
Personal mottoEven if you only have yourself, you always have yourself.
