'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.[2] It's the only song on the album that features Babyface on lead vocals,[3] 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.[4]

Reception[edit]

Craig Lytle, in his review of the album for AllMusic, called 'Two Occasions' a 'quiet-storm classic' with 'superb arrangement and production', declaring the song 'worthy of a number-one ranking.'[3] In 1989, the song won a BMI Pop Award.[5]
