Part-Time Lover
"Part-Time Lover" is a 1985 single by Stevie Wonder, from his album ''In Square Circle''. The song reached number one on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, R&B, dance, and adult contemporary charts. The song's simultaneous chart success made him the first artist to score a number-one hit on four different ''Billboard'' charts. It is Wonder's most recent Hot 100 number-one single to date. (With the exception of his appearance on "That's What Friends Are For" which also featured Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight and Elton John. That song was number one for 4 weeks from January to February, 1986.)
Part Time Lover also reached number three on the UK Singles Chart.
The song featured R&B singer Luther Vandross humming at the end of Stevie's verses and on backing vocals in addition to Wonder's ex-wife and fellow singer-songwriter Syreeta Wright and Philip Bailey of R&B/funk band 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 label mates of Wonder.
==Music video==
The video for "Part-Time Lover" features a black couple and the affairs that they have with their other halves. The video begins with the couple watching a film, when their phone rings. For the majority of the video, each half of the couple is seen re-enacting the lyrics of the song, such as the wife's male friend initiating her phone call to avoid suspicion. Interspersed with the narrative is footage of Wonder playing a Kurzweil keyboard in a dance club. One shot of Wonder features him inside a triangular window with a red spotlight hovering over it, a visual reference to the album ''In Square Circle'', on which this song appears. Wonder also sings the song on the street, as the husband rendezvous with his partner. The climax of the video has the husband and his partner dancing on one side of Wonder's stage, and the wife and her partner dancing on the other side. It is implied that the husband notices his wife through the legs of Wonder's keyboard stand.
