8o's song sampled by Ne-Yo

[vtgirl1993]

I'm trying to remember the song sampled in the chorus of Ne-Yo's "Closer." Anyone know what it is? I keep thinking early Michael Jackson or Earth Wind and Fire, but I can't name it.

Thanks.

It doesn't remind me of anything in particular, but here's a link to the song in case anyone needs to hear it.

It KIND OF sounds like Ride like the Wind...but I wouldn't say it is an exact match...
