[soeurmusulmane77]

[57IAM]

This song kept me dancing in place while waiting to be selected for jury duty. Everyone kept looking at me, in my Chanel suit, shoes and bag. I was a surgeon and always had a very severe demeanor, but Gap Band ALWAYS got me going. After a while, three attorneys and a big fat mama were groovin with me. In Wash, DC, where NOBODY does this stuff. Livened up the crowd. Wasn't picked for duty....wonder why?

[zayzkidd]

Quiet as kept, Charlie Wilson kind of sounds like Stevie Wonder...

[sumleegai]

@zayzkidd Absolutely! I was JUST thinking the same thing. Good ear!

[launchedout09]

I won't knock different music styles, but we got up EARLY in the mornin' to groove to what we had back in the day.......I was young and foolish, didn't know WHAT I was doing.

[felon182]

AlexSR has hit it on the head, This is a funky ballad...just the gap band could do this.

[issa1724]

this is what music sounds like <3.not the junk we have now ! -__-

[MrsHurtinG]

My mom used to wake us up with song every morning



[Ezmood]

@MrsHurtinG - That is kind of funny. I'm sure it wasn't her fault.

[MrsHurtinG]

@Ezmood I think she did it on purpose why would the radio play this every morning at 0630

[Ezmood]

@Ezmood I know, I'm just teasing. If the theme of the song was identical to her life, it would mean that her lovers were leaving her, and every morning she would be telling herself to brush it off and go find a new lover. None the less, its a positive attitude.

[bebopola]

Use to go to Skate Land and dance on skates to this back in the 90's

[AlexxSR]

This is fucking breathtaking...

[1ShirleyASmith1]

@AlexxSR Hell Yeah!!!!!!!!!

I was born in the era of hiphop (90s baby), but I love the fact that I grew up listening to the 80s, 70s, and even the 60s. I appreciate this music cause it paved the way for today's artist. Real talk, listen to this type of music...you'll never regret it...

Love the Gap Band !!!!! Raised hell to there music at the silver fox back in the 80 s in woodbridge Va . :)  Im white also . lol

[mk1mac3]

LIL WAYNE=ILLUMINATI FUCK BOY



[aahee]

I love funk, soul, disco and g-funk. This ain't so muc different from g-funk. If you know what I mean, you'll agree.

[JayGriffinblaze]

@aahee Probably because G-Funk pretty much lifted all it's rhythms and beats from P-Funk and Funk from the decade before - particularly George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic - after producers like Erick Sermon from the east showed it could be done.

[aahee]

@JayGriffinblaze

yep. though g-funk got so many releases from the 90's. all g-funk artists didnt sample funk artists.

there are thousands of g-funk albums that didnt sample anythin, for the most part. but there are a lot of albums released that did sample funk artists etc. all good

[JayGriffinblaze]

@aahee Umm don't think that's entirely correct. I haven't heard EVERY G-Funk track out there (G-Funk is wack as hell lazy production in my view), but the thing which defined a track as "G-Funk" was the funk sample or 'interpolation' - which is basically a reworking of a sample/melody/riff/etc played by the producer rather than cut from the source material. And for every artist openly repping G-Funk, generally did sample funk, soul funk and P-Funk.

[HeavyMetalTango73]

Nothing but good times with this song The GAP Band is still the great party band

[YungTopFiggaz]

this song was a party song back in the day when the clubs stayed open all night and the sun was up when we came out those were the good old days wish we could still have fun like that signed old school

[roglo06]

Now this is true R&B! My mom's favorite song from her high school days! C/O1982. I'm thankful I was raised with such great music (I'm 26 now).

[reppntime]

WHoever disliked this must be some fans of lil wayne, nikki minaji ,plies, waka flocka flame, soulja boy and etc. This is what you call "timeless music" y'all should be paying homage and acknowledge...

[1982Moonbird]

@reppntime amen, amen....This was the timeless stuff...

[lowgrau]

@1982Moonbird so lutely

[aryanna4578]

so I gotta get up ~~ eaaaaaaaaaaaarly in the mornin ~~~ find me another lover ~~~ I C what goin on........ bc am friggen psychic.............

[jasonpp1973]

That intro must have been infuenced by Tthe Beatles' "Good Morning Good Morning"!

[yanikfrequencist]

Damn I wish I was born twenty years earlier!

[stingers120]

good music

[BlackDynamiteNYC]

This replaced "Let it Whip" by The Dazz Band as #1 R&B song in '82?

A good step down

[woodja777]

baby boomers did it best

[InTACTProduction]

Will you lames stop complaining about music? Everytime an old song is put up u all start a sob story. Just say you like the song and go on about your day

[Juniversal]

@InTACTProduction...my thoughts exactly. That annoys the shit out of me. "I'm 12 and I love this music and hate my generations music". "real music" is dead. Blah, blah, blah. Gets old after 1,000th time hearin the same thing.

[musicalsilence0813]

@InTACTProduction THANK YOU! i was thinking the same thing. maybe if people stopped trying to live in the past we could make some awesome music now AND enjoy the old school

[aGwEENapple]

@musicalsilence0813 It's pretty much true though and it goes to obviously show the current state of music.

If people would stop taking beats from the previous generations, and instead would make their own, maybe we actually could step out from the past.

I'm not talking about people having an influence because almost every person has one but if you're going to call yourself a "new" artist or producer, how about using something that's new?

Goes to show these "new" artist almost feel similarly.

[MrSDbomber]

@InTACTProduction get out of here

[InTACTProduction]

@MrSDbomber Does that mean you agree...

[funkboxblue]

YEAH BOOOOYYYY!

[MarloweLindsay]

JUSTIN IM SITTING BESIDE YOU IN CLASS! haha
