I once asked my DJ friend, what track do you play when the party is dying and you want to liven it up, he thought for a few moments and said "Got to be real" by Cheryl Lynn. He said "everybody seems to LOVE this song", well there 'ya go!
This might just be my favorite "Disco" song of all time, the song itself is great and the lyrics are good, but the voice and the high notes at the end are unbelievable!!!.
You know right up to about 1984 Disco was awesome, it did get to commerial and alot of folks without talent popped up in the late 80s early ninetys that put this music down. along with to much saturation of the market. Pop turned country and R&B turn rap and we all lost !! Love to see it all come back
I hope the bastards who killed disco back in '79 are happy. This was awesome music! And what have we had since then?.............Yeah, that's what I thought.
@ENEMENCIO123VISION It's disco. Just because it's on the show soul train doesn't mean it has to be SOUL music. The music on soul train is defined by the era (90s was hip hop). By the late 70s most of the stuff on soul train was disco. And the poster is refering to the 1979 destruction of Disco vinyls. People were supposedly fed up with disco music as it had invaded pretty much every major stations airwaves so some people decided to destroy disco vinyls.
por diosss me encanta !!! es como gusanito esta canción , empieza por mis pies sube por mis brazos y sigue por mi cabeza ... jajajaja ,,, que ganas de bailarrrrrr
DONT READ THIS BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. IF YOU DO NOT POST THIS COMMENT ON THREE VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN TWO DAYS.NO, YOUVE ALREADY STARTED READING SO DONT STOP. THIS IS SCARY. PUT THIS ON FIVE VIDEOS IN THE NEXT 143 MINS. WHEN YOUR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR ON YOURSCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SCARY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS
This always makes me think of those Devastating Divas of Delta Sigma Theta. Everyone woman in my family who has crossed Delta has had this song play at their probate.
cheryl is doing the "rock" all you young bloods: Whatchoo know about THAT?
1978--my first year in college--her, prince, ltd, Isley brothers, chic, bobby caldwell, fatback band, switch, GQ, stevie, rose royce, foxy, Chaka Khan, Gene Chandler, Sylvester and toward the summer of 1979--Curtis Blow, sugar hill gang. Just sayin' you had to be there, to understand why this is the "realest shit" LOL
Well apparently she is making serious bank off this song because a bunch of people are saying they heard this song at a bunch places like movies and everywhere else, well I am black so knowing about this song just comes with it lol, but I was also pleasantly surprised when I heard it my Dance Dance Revolution game,lol.
I remember seeing her on the Gong Show back in the 70's when she sang "you are so beautiful". She lost but I never forgot her and soon she came out with this cut and I still love it over 30 years later.
can someone help me theres a song that i cant remember all i remember is the part that goes lets turn up the bass someone please tell me ive been looking for it for five years
@TheMisterBdon Actually is was sampled by Father MC - I'll Do for You, C&C Music Factory on Do You Wanna Get Funky and Most recently by Beyonce on Irreplaceable. All Good BUT Cheryl Lynn Still remains a classic and the gold standard! On a side note... I can't believe I actually use to wear my hair like that! ;-p LMAO
2012 and still loving it!!!
