[kubancane]

Master C & J ft. Liz Torres ALBUM NAME "Can't Get Enough"

[cupofraisins]

It was '85. I remember it like it was yesterday. I'm not kidding!

[dippedin67]

I HAVE THIS ALBUM! :)

[JJColb]

According to Billboard, it his the Hot Dance Club Airplay charts in April of 86, reaching #44.

[protectorofillinois3]

OH YES!!!! My favorite Queen of House Music from my hometown - Chicago!!! Love this song!!! There's also the original mix (which was under Carl Bias featuring Liz Torres) and that one is excellent as well. Liz Torres' vocals were sampled by several electronic music acts - "No more mind games!" (in "Mind To Mind" by Joey Beltram & Mundo Muzique from Second Phase, 1991) and "You have to understand!" (by Altern 8 on "Real Time Status", 1991). That's what makes this song so different and unique :-)

[MrDJJuicey]

As an original Chicago House DJ, Promos came out to DJ's in 1985 by Jesse Saunders at the Loop store in downtown Chicago and late 85 the song was all over the city, it was a hit everyone was playing in the streets, Clubs, and Basement parties.

[housemanchi]

@MrDJJuicey If you do a little research i think you'll find out you mean jesse jones and not jesse saunders. I was a regular at both loop and imports etc. miss those spots!

[kljjlikjldsf]

This song is very easy to masturbate to.

[ThePlatano2020]

1985 sounds right. I remember the first time I heard this song in early '86.

Powerzone used the 'No more mind games' lyric in mind games 91-ish I think

Altern8 used the 'You have to understand' lyric in an early track also.

[msliz31]

This came out in 85, I was a junior in HS and heard it the first time at Leo HS....and got picked up for curfew trying to get back home!!!

[Lonrell]

[2blakandbold]

Another great house music cut.The Warehouse, the Shelter,Mendel H.S.,The Fort and etc...

[mikriman24]

Does anyone remember an old house song that went like this: >>>>Like a Religion like a source of power, that induces a certain stage--music magnetism pulling me to the beating of my mind out into inner space. Hey hey hey and take the magic of the feeling we were taught we should keep inside---whoa whoa there's no skeptism to this moment of feeling of the same maybe yours and mine mine mine......

IM DYING TO FIND THIS SONG

[BiggDaddyGregory]

Like A Virgin.

[Quest1989]

Excellent this track was produced in my honour!!! How about that!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jacklewisbarclay]

[Quest1989]

[snarfscream]

Good lord man I can never get sick of this track. Liz Torres + a BANGING BEAT = BLISS

[GOLDENPERFECTION]

If anyone is from chicago,,,remember The Riviera...J'anelles...The Club House...The Tunnel???? Those are just some of the back in the day clubs. There were dance troupes out like Te Culitos and others that used to have dance competitions...I am in NYC and they don't have anything on Chitown.

[ladeshia63]

I use to dance with Liz Torres at the Paradise Garage in the late 80s a Latino Beauty. She had two Body Guards and they were black and like 7ft each no lie. Larry Levan gave it all he had that night. The music sounded different due to that bad ass system at The Garage!

[Mikailnyc]

I was there.. She worn all white and had a white feather boa??

[junkiejunkiexl]

braw chooone like

[DjDopeChicago]

Hahaha, GAGE PARK IN THA HOUSE LOL.. Love this track!

[rott2121]

do anyone know where i can get this track

[osmaugg]

Ya, 85, easily. I recall hearing this cut 4 da 1st time in a mix that I had just recorded off of WBMX 102.7 FM back in '86! I think it was Mickey "MIXXIN" Oliver, He mixed this cut with "OUR DARKNESS" FRIDAY NITE LIVE AINT NO JIVE! The memories...LOL Geeky me getting ready in the morning, while listening 2 this, 2 impess da ladies and then 2 shy 2 say any thing LOL Chicago SW side GAGE PARK 50TH Western

[gorgeousone2009]

My brotha said 85..he is into house from back in the day. He got hundreds of mix cd/(tapes too lol)12". Humbolt park and Wicker park was poppin back then and northside.

[gorgeousone2009]

There was a club called The Tunnel in Chitown he used to go to. I am glad this style is still underground and only House Heads know about it. The new stuff is not as good or classic as this. Ya tu sabe. That's why she is the Queen.

[rott2121]

do you know where i can get the track? mind games by liz torres

[gyrovague]

Whatta tune! ahead of its time? love the label fade-in on the vid.. very apt

[jericho4004]

I do believe this did come out in 1985 because I heard it on the Friday Night mix when I graduated from jr. high, which was 1985.

[LordShabazz]

You are right-this came out in 1985 because I was working at NY Dept of Social Services that year only, and I was a member and regular at The Paradise Garage, where I saw Quest featuring Liz Torrez on vocals that summer. I left for college after that summer.

[mrdeedz1]

whatever happened to liz torres anyway?

[disrupt303]

Classic track!!!

The original was released in 1985 and its the reissues that were pressed sometime between then and 1988.

A friend of mine from Chicago who used to distribute these back in the day also told me that the ones that credit Liz Taurus are quite possibly unofficial pressings.

Have a look at my page...Ive got the other version on Jack Trax up there.

Hope that clears it up a bit :)

[QueenOfHouseLizTorre]

Liz Torres original version was damaged in a fire....

[LordShabazz]

You are absolutely right-this came out in 1985 because I was working at NY Dept of Social Services that year only, and I was a member and regular at The Paradise Garage, where I saw Quest featuring Liz Torrez on vocals that summer. I left for college after that summer.

I'll check out your page-thanks!
