Masterpiece!

[rexboogie]

Dont forget about" thats the joint" by the funky four plus one more.

[paulcbarrera]

@rexboogie such a classic. come on sha-rock!

[rexboogie]

@paulcbarrera It is and it is not on you tube.

[paulcbarrera]

@rexboogie dont i know it. it USED to be on youtube. perhaps it was my wearing it out that got it removed.

[rexboogie]

@paulcbarrera I knew I saw it on here! But its gone now.

[oldschoolbx1970]

My days in the 4th grade at P.S. 71 in The Bronx. Thanks for posting. This joint still rocks.

[RightWingHunter666]

Nice..........

[IceManLikeGervin]

Still butta!

[kdakid007]

Official!

[Qluvz2beluved]

Sometimes I like when songs start off like this one did, cause what came afterwards was even better!

[NORAK69]

You have to rescue me from, A taste of Honey's fineness!!!!!!

[rexboogie]

Real music last forever! Today's music is just that. Music for today.

[BKrystall]

I like Positive K's version of I Got A Man. This version sounds slightly better.

[anthrax1218]

the funky 4 must not have liked learning that 'their' beat wasn't theirs

[bmpeak]

lmao@cheesy rapper.

[msOctober12]

Nice to hear from time to time!

[ForgottenSoul700]

Some cheesy rapper sampled this song in the good ole' early '90s.

[jjackson459]

@ForgottenSoul700 Positive K wasn't that cheesy. In actuality he was a pretty dope MC in his own right. Check out his 1988 hit "Step Out Front" during his old First Priority Records Days (Mc Lyte, Audio Two, and Alliance were label mates as well). That's a better example of the talent and skills he had in his repetoire.

[ninjastah]

4 People did not get rescued! fail!

[rexboogie]

That beat is timeless.

[DaVinciCelone]

Love this song, man!!! Janice Marie and Hazel P!!!

[OjBlack100]

ahhh sweet memories from days gone by....

[damfkingdon1]

saample first by funky 4 + 1

[64spenser]

Damn I love this track.

[hughesjr]

Written by Janice Marie Johnson and Earth, Wind and Fire guitarist Roland Bautista. Went to #16 on the Billboard R&B charts.

[ry9000]

amazing track ! nice taste

[MrTouchtechnique]

a great song that i like cuz the sample was used 4 another fav song of mine.

[WheelerEntertainment]

@mausboy80 Talent is no longer the main requirement to be accepted into the industry.

[howyoudooaah]

Old School Rewls.

[Ibantar]

George Duke blazed this project with his production so u know it had 2 be HOTT!!! Listen 2 that music arrangement!!! U don't hear that now that much in the so-called R&B music!!!!

[Zzozze]

@Ibantar Does she also play the bass, guitars and drums on it as she used to?

[Ibantar]

@Zzozze: I don't recall if she did all the instruments or not. I have that album on vinyl and would have 2 do some serious digging to get it out and check the credits on it.

[ronpc]

So called artist of today have sold their souls to an evil empire which is the music companies, their is no way these no talent fools of today would have been given a record contract back in the day. They would have gotten laughed at right out of the studio. Much props to all the groups and single artist of the 70's and 80's for using their God given talent and left us with so many great songs.

[CincereOne]

Now this is what I call a "cutt"! 30 yrs old and I'll slap this shit for another 30! Long live real feel good music. Love the timbales solo!

[rickames]

I didn't know they made this song. I never heard it all the way through. They are so pretty as well as talented. It is a turn on to see women play instruments that are up front.

[TropicSensation]

Ms. Janice-Marie is one of my daughter Kariels favourite bassists, I have her learn original artists from the musique from my time- She just learned Rick James, Super Freak/MC Hammer, U Can't Touch This; I think I should add this to her tool box seaux she doesn't ask me one day and I say,"Hmmm, Positive K ? I'm sure he got that from somebody..."

[whatthehellvideos]

Thats The Joint!!!!!

[wendellgee1985]

WHAT'S your man got to do with me??

Good song. Love the old stuff (and love the people that steal/sample from them a little less).

[MyWhyteboi]

Man, I remember this jam back in the day. This was the sh**! Then I remember The Funky Four +1 made a rap to it ! Then later on Pos K brought it back. But the Original is the best ! You hear them drums in the bridge... Come on now ! Sick

[villiemack]

very nice

[64spenser]

Who really cares where these ladies are now? I thank them for leaving a fantastic tune. You can't touch this.

[Ngobamakosi]

I got a man,... I'm not trying to hear that see,...I got a man,...What's your man got to do with me, Ha ha ha, I never knew this was the original.

[mausboy80]

I don't think the good music died because of Reagan and Bush, probably had more to do with everyone destroying their souls with cocaine and cheap imports...

[laiosto]

@mausboy80 videos killed good music.Appearance started to count for more than musical ability.Can you imagine Aretha Franklin or Barry White even getting a foot in the door these days.For most of my youth in the 70s and 80s I had no idea what most of the performers of my favourite music even looked like.

[coolflex]

I love it! Classic song!! Where are these women now?

[bgoldrock]

I used to have this 8-track...rememba those? I used to sing and dance along to this entire album! I love Taste of Honey!

[AfreeQueen]

My mom and dad use to RULE with the 8 track player! Everything from Donna Summer to EWF...THEN the BeeGees... come on now. I want one. Still. lol

BTW this is my jam.

[aaround]

OMG!!! WOW . This the first time after 20 years that I hear this song..

Thanks

[lirieth731]

.... I got a man !!!

[silvike]

Positive K!! I still love that track! =D

[djw80158]

1:10 - 1:15...& I guarantee either one of these fine ass women would've made me "so very happy" :)

[coverdale20]

Very nice...!!! I always wondered where that beat was from. This is one of the few old school songs that I wasn't familiar with... Kudos...!

[thestevo46]

i recallbuying this 12 inch single in glasgow around 1982,great memories

[eric601d]

No wonder that groove by Positive K is so sick. Forgot these ladies did that rythym track.Ooooh Yeah.

[pmay222]

sound kinda remindsme oflevel 42...and the female bassist is the shit..!!!!

[sawsendu38]

je kiff un point c tout aie aie aie

[kell7wlt]

The sweetest!!!!!!!!

[rebelabyss]

a taste of honey - rescue me

[MrSexxxy20]

Posative K. " I got A Man"

[dogshit71]

positive k- i got a man

[MrSexxxy20]

That's what I said lmao!

[dmgcat]

I tell ya where those days went...Reagan and Bush killed them. Everything changed when they got into office. The feel, the vibe, the way we all used to dance. It all disappeared. Most music today whether its rock, rythym or blues has lost the soul of yesterday....todays stuff is raw noise compared to the talent of yesterday...my opinion.

[graynav]

dmgcat, you're absolutely right! None of the music nowadays i anywhere near this type of stuff! I mean take this song for example, A taste of Honey did this 1st, the rap group "Funky 4 plus 1" took the intro and used it, then Positive K used it in "I got a man", but yet out of all of these songs, I like the original by A Taste of Honey! Even the early rap songs form back in the day (along with this ol' skool joint) was classic!

[JonnySerge]

I agree with you entirely! The music today is not in the league of the stuff back in the 70's and 80's. This is gold and the stuff nowadays is horrible shit.

[kewanw16]

Damn right and I sure as hell agree with you on that my ex-girlfriend gave me all the shit after I told I was sick and tired of the shit they're on the radio right now that when I started buying 70's and 80's R&B on L.P. ,cassette ,and on 8-track because of it which was a smart move to be honest artist like A Taste Of Honey they're very cool!

[kewanw16]

You're damn right and I totally agree with you the shit they're playing on the radio nowadays I couldn't stand it no more that's when I started going to what I was listening to when I was little from 1970's to the early 1980's on top of that A Taste Of Honey are very cool always was always has been and right This is gold stuff right now is bullshit that's why I started old R&B too !

[publica74]

@dmgcat You're right..the 1980's were a serious reality check. 

[elshowgun15]

damn we black people are talented!!

[MTXSHO9732vV8SHO]

Yeah... That's fine, but that is a stereotype. Just like all White People can't dance. I know you don't think "Soulja Boy" is talented LOL. Maybe he's a talented cheerleader.

Let's just put it this way. "Everyone" going platinum doesn't have talent. Most people that are popular in music today don't have half the talent of this duo.

Taste of Honey, it GETS NO ROUGHER!

One,

G7

[elshowgun15]

*licks honey and caramel off your legs*

[exlusivrecords]

posative k - i got a man samples this

[HipHopDontStop46]

funky

[LemonAndYoghurt]

"I gotta man" - You got a what? X-D

[mickman31187]

This was when the most sexy thing a female could wear was cut off jean shorts that were washed so that the blue strings could hang down, baby oil on her legs, her hair in corn rows, with her baby hair stairstepped down the side of her head, and jellies or a permanent pair of rollersketes on even on the bus.

[lJohnnyTheFoxl]

That sounds awful.

[blahblahunderemo1]

Oh man ...where did those days go.

[shotymeisupandcummin]

13 years later after its release this song is brought back to life via rap song by Positive K "I Gotta Man".

[rubenlconstante]

it was then brought back one again for "chante's got a man" so so def remix by jermaine dupri. good stuff.

[MsTexas73]

Funky Four Plus one used it first on "That's the Joint".

[Pepel35000]

Well Done! ;D)

[CincereOne]

@shotymeisupandcummin Funky Four plus One More did a song called "That's the Joint" long before "I gotta man"

[RateDTD]

@shotymeisupandcummin It was also first use in 1981 by Funky 4 + 1 in "That's the Joint".

[wvawwtopline]

@shotymeisupandcummin also the funky 4 plus one more

[dillo]

@shotymeisupandcummin Actually, Funky 4+1 sampled it in 1981 first with "That's the Joint". Check it out, it's an excellent track.

[oldschoolbx1970]

@shotymeisupandcummin True but prior to that,The Funky 4 Plus 1 first used it for That's The Joint.

[sebhartke]

[wandermusic27]

[Dynamo001]

This song brings back memories of when music was great.  I had a crush on Janice Marie as a kid and I think I'm still in love with her after all these years.

[bigbankX]

"Whatcha man got to do with me" .. "I'm not tryin to hear that see" .. LMBAO!!! Oh yeah, I remember this one and Sukyaki, Boogie Oogie and Sayonara but this was my favorite

[kivlov]

[ARJD9972]

[AkitoJr]
