So which got more airplay, the 7 inch or the 7 inch without rap? Anyone remember?

Our station played the “without rap” version, as did Jim’s old station.

Without a doubt, the "without rap" version. This is
also the version used in the music video.

That's the "7 inch Choice mix" that is in the video.

The "7 inch mix" starts out like the album version in
the beginning and then in the instrumental bridge
before the rap has elements of the "7 inch Choice mix"
much like what was done on the version versions of
Janet's "Alright".

Honestly, this is the first I've heard the rap break
and I listened mostly to Black radio in NYC.
That parent album got as much airplay as the debuts of
Toni Braxton or Mary J. Blige which soon followed.

I remember hearing the "Without Rap" version on the local pop station regularly. The R&B station may have played the Rap version, but I didn't tune-in much. Also, just when I thought I had just about heard enough
of this single, I caught up with this "7 inch Choice Mix" that AutumAarilyn provided the link to. From there, I had to give it a few more listens because I liked the mix much better than the original.

The two 12 inches versions (original and choice) pull
second half of "Finally" in a more instrumental
direction. Steve 'Silk' Hurley had produced several key
singles including later ones for Tene' Williams and
Chantay Savage that were big in NYC.

Cece's follow-up, "We've got a love thang" continued the
infectious flow of "Finally" but retains its own charm
with the help of Hurley.

Apparently there are two videos for "Finally," because I had never seen the one with the 7" Choice Mix before. The original video can be found here and definitely uses the 7" Without Rap mix.

There are at least three versions of the video that
were released at the time; the version using the 7"
Without Rap was the most-played version. The 7"
Choice Mix version was serviced to nightclubs and
appears on a Telegenics VHS compilation; there's also
a 12" Choice Mix version of the video that RockAmerica
(a similar pool) serviced.

My reaction when reading the first post in this thread:
"There was a rap in that song??!!"

I suppose all I have ever heard is the no rap mix.

The 7" rap version was A side on the cassette single
and also featured and the end of side A on the maxi-
cassette single. Yesterday was the first I heard the rap
bridge.

The 7" mix without rap is also known as the version on
the album and it's one with the percussion upfront in
the intro.

Just to further confirm, I never heard the “with rap” version on
broadcast radio. I didn’t know it existed until I bought the promo years
later.
