[medcalfpump]

One from my all time top ten - this and The Bottle were together responsible for introducing me to the joys of dance music. I remember picking up both of them on 12" the same afternoon in a second hand store in St Marys, Southampton (can't remember the name) in about 1988 - both for a fiver. Two decades later, and I still consider it to be the best buy I ever made.

[mattfaulkner]

@rahim4969 If there weren't adverts, you'd have to pay because they have to make profits somehow.

[00NINIE00]

great musicccccc ^^ :))))))))))

[ancientraver19881989]

The first Caister weekender I ever went to in 1983 the first record I ever heard there as I walked into the jazz room on the Friday afternoon was "Rock Creek Park" by the Blackbyrds and I thought this is bloody amazing (even better than people in my local said Caister was going to be!) anyway the only thing better thing than that would have been walking into that room if they'd been playing this!

[jeandarc824]

the dislikes are probably a bunch o' effin metal heads.

[geeman856]

real music

[rasdorje]

[Gluchyon]

Focus on what is good or what you feel think is best for you, forget, don't give attention to people who oppose what you like, if their disagreement is not a threat to you, let it be."Expansions" is not 4 every spirit being or soul......

[keefieT]

How many bands since have used this Vibe?

[turolu]

I am now 50 but remember back 30+ years ago......As soon as the first couple of strums of base started, that was it, we were up there dancing! A classic of this period that will never be surpassed!

[sidt4]

I'm 50 too jazzbuff630 and I totally agree with you. This is a terrific piece of work I lurrrrvvv it

[sheikhzak]

@shadovoid

Yes without a question

[myklmusic]

[ebantiass11]

Fantastic epic tune a real monster from back in the days. A true steppers classic. LOVE IT.

[Electroguy1996]

Unfortunately from what I've heard he never really surpassed this song. A bit like Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel, who never surpassed Come Up and See Me.

[sethdickens]

@Electroguy1996 Apart from Mr Soft, Tumbling down and a few others. Though I know what you mean - that was their one stand out song.

[xplanetstudio]

i said only... right things.....in correct.....memory.....

[TheGrownasswoman]

This will always be a classic ...enter the park the center jams back in the days and this is what played.....Coney Island Crew forever ...DJ Danny B.

[Electroguy1996]

Bass is epic

[radgemasterben]

@bigreed43 double bass, yes. sounds like it

[gottohavesoul]

Just saw Lonnie in Gent, Belgium on Sunday.  Still one of the baddest groovers around. Timeless!!!
