Never heard this song before. Pretty nice and sweet. I wish O'bryan had something out today with this lame brain music of today. It would definitely be an improvement.

I don't know if you realize it but he has an album that he put out about 2 or 3 years ago called "F1RST". His first album in over 20 years. Chech I-Tunes or another online digital download service. I downloaded each of the ten tracks on the album for $0.89 per track and the album is well worth every penny.

Sampled by "Thony Ritz" - High Future and after The Phantom's Revenge & Treasure Fingers - Saturated Phat Impact

[alexinhomg2]

@LeoFras saturated phat impact isn't from treasure fingers

[alexinhomg2]

@LeoFras the phantom's revenge - saturated phat impact is from 2008, and thony ritz - High future is from 2010

[CaptainMike1968]

@slayerdogg I don't know if Maxwell was influenced by O'Bryan, but it's apparent that like Maxwell O'Bryan vocally was influenced by Marvin Gaye.

[BalooRJ]

This was also sampled for Thony Ritz - High Future!

[darkchild00]

Wow! This is a Dope Jam.

[alexinhomg]

the 80's funk music is the inspiration of the french house, excellent song

[obryanation]

We have a direct line to O'Bryan! Any questions you want answered with clarity and truth? Send here!

[BIGBOTTOM32]

[fela319]

[Sal1675]

This album and this track are killers - what an album for a wee lad he did good and better than good - where did u go man?

[hotkaramellove5000]

Does this sound like "Whatcha Gonna Do with my Loving" by Stephanie Mills? Maybe its just me...

[oholm08]

bass lines are slamming the groove

[oholm08]

this is so funky groove make turns me out

[slayerdogg]

I wonder if Maxwell was influenced by O'Bryan ?

This is a killer song !.

[trounds2]

@slayerdogg I think you may have something there. They do have a lot of the same vocal techniques.

[YOGGIJ]

Wow.....i forgot how long extended version were back in the day! hahaha....this is great!

[ismajosh]

guys, look up the song "saturated phat impact" by the phantoms revenge, he samples and does a good ass job doing it

[asskickatron]

I always thought it was a girl singing. damn

[TheGreatMozeek]

I like this song. That slap bass is so funky, I can smell it.

[laketahoeron]

this was my song when me and my baby had a flame burning hot!

Was this an very early release in 1982 or later in the summer/winter of 1982? I only seem to remember this in late 1982, early 1983.

[Azone01]

All I know is that "Right From The Start" was only released as the B-Side of O'Bryan's second (and last from Doin' Alright lp) single, "Still Waters" 45 single in the US, but as the lp version (originally less than four and a half minutes). I think this longer version of "Right From The Start" (12 inch extended) was released overseas.

[egmjag]

Just found out that this was released on January 1, 1982. So I guess most of the songs on the album were popular in spring of '82 and a little bit before that.  The reason I ask for specific information is to put all vids I download in chronological order. The early 80s were the best that music had to offer, especially R&B and funk. That music was so fresh and new to me, and very exciting.

[rokhamdagamer81]

I'm never gonna stop loving music like this. This is one of the music i can't stop clapping and dancing too. If no one like this yall suck this is real music... I can imagine Michael Jackson can do this if he really wanted too.

[Azone01]

This does sound like a Michael Jackson song from his Off The Wall lp. O'Bryan's debut had compositions related to Jackson (this song), Stevie Wonder ("Love Has Found Its Way"), Smokey Robinson ("Still Waters".....duh, because Smokey wrote it for The Four Tops), Teddy Pendergrass ("Its Over" and "Doin' Alright"), and Prince ("The Gigolo")!

[SoulBoogieBoy]

Agree 100% with ya! This is one hell of a groove with one of the best/funkiest intros ever in a soul/funk record! Bliss! How can you NOT dance to this?

[hunn89]

trivia time: the probable reason Gigolo released first was that at that time (early 80's)the movie American Gigolo was a buzz so many a song would ride the wave on that theme. Ozone "Gigolette", Fatback Band had a Gigolo song and even Mary Wells had a song out about a Gigolo.

[CaptainMike1968]

@hunn89 You also forgot that The Time made "Gigolos Get Lonely Too" later in 1982.

[hunn89]

@CaptainMike1968 TRUDAT!

[jgkakoo]

very good!,,thanks.

[Azone01]

This was hot!! I wonder why O'Bryan did'nt release this as a single in the US!! This would've topped higher than "The Gigolo" I think he performed "Right From The Start" on Soul Train back in 82"!
