[Benswerts]

Does anybody understand "MAGIC NINJAS" ? 2:12

[jonmmadison]

@Benswerts HAHAH you got jokes!

"imagine me just cuttin' it up"

[hansenmichaelkaare]

this is the must funky song to date, funk on a high high level

[G1theone]

Back at a time when music fun just made you feel good imagine.

[selectajay2000]

..damn, that intro gotta get cut up hard body son!..

[Techspert]

Nice album cover!

[zapphead]

All they did was take the drum and quica tracks from General Caine's "I'm The Man" and recycled it in this jam...NOT BAD!!!! I have all the L.T.D. albums as well as all the General Caine's so this song automatically made me recognize the drums and quica...lol!!!

[Ragnemalm]

@zapphead Correct, this is really "I'm the man" part 2. "I'm the man" is a great tune so of course it was a good idea to recycle it. But it sounds a lot more General Caine than LTD.

[mskathy2468]

I stand corrected. The REAL Ushay died a few years ago. There is a DJ Pierre Ushay in Houston that's still doing what the original Ushay did.

[johnnyguitarcarson]

It is General Caine playing, thats all I will say, you might want to ask Trey , Tony , or David

[Buckeyecat2002]

@johnnyguitarcarson -Whosover be dat voice, is definately deep in the cut. Bad eternal funk jam by Love, Troof and D-votion.

[mw94533]

@Buckeyecat2002

That funky voice be Leslie Wilson,. lead singer from New Birth,..

He came in after Jeffrey left the group,.. his tone is killin!!!!

[LLJtbone]

@mw94533 Lithonia's New Birth? GA?

[mw94533]

@LLJtbone

No Sir,... that would be the first "New Birth",... A singing group from the 70s!

Ya know,... "Wild flower", and "Its been such a long time", or "I can understand it"

Search for New Birth and play the first video that pops up,...... excellent vocals!

Thats the New Birth, he came from,... A Funky singing group!

I wish we had singers like them, with that delivery,......in music today!!

[LLJtbone]

@mw94533 Ok.. I am a lady but that's ok!! There is a huge church here in ATL called New Birth Baptist and it has a really great praise band, good singers etc.. I was just curious if you were referring to the guys in the band there. Happy New Year !!

[mrchill1988]

Funky as a old pair of gym socks!!!!

[mskathy2468]

I don't think DJ Ushay is dead. Check out his myspace, twitter and facebook pages... djpierreushay

[djmrbrown00]

DOUBLES REQUIRED!!!

[rahim3121]

They Sampled The Intro From General Caine's I'm The Man...Funky!!!

[rb2181]

Im only 27, so I was around to appreciate in the way it should but this is so funky its sickening?

[Elisabeth1903]

This wasn't their last album; there was another one after this. It's called For You.

[Elisabeth1903]

1979 Stranger was in Holland flip-side of Shine On.

[loosestudios]

"For you" was on different label But you are right

1979: Devotion (A&M) - US Pop #29, US R&B #5

1980: Shine On (A&M) - US Pop #28, US R&B #6

1981: Love Magic (A&M) - US Pop #83, US R&B #21

1983: For You (Hot Productions) - US R&B #66

1996: Greatest Hits (A&M)

[untwan]

I've been looking for this for years. Thanks for posting.

[NoWayzSafe]

Yes sir!!! This here be the ultimate truth. Love this. Just to throw out there that this too was even sampled in the classic EPMD "DJ K LA BOSS" joint.

[MUSIQ78]

This song will get any party hype!!!

[tapedog]

Got it on tape. Recorded from "Old Funk Friday Nite" from 105.7 KRNB back when I was stationed @ Sheppard AFB. KRNB was the closest thing to an "urban"[black]station in Wichita Falls.

[Blackpool77]

Love magic's the stand out cut

[Buckeyecat2002]

Lead vocalist sounds like the singer from General Cane's "Girls" and also Glen Goins from P Funk. This is a jam I ante never heard.

[TheGreatMozeek]

Where's Jeffrey Osbourne?

[mojay11]

I think this was right around after Jeffrey Osborne left LTD for a solo career, so he's not on this album. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

[loosestudios]

You are right  The Album was "Love Magic"1981

[ROBG979]

Veewee you a fool for this one! This is a Dallas, TX classic.

[ambreec28]

Aw yeah! I've been looking for this one for ages! Thank You!!!

[rwgq]

Yes Sir!! This makes me think of the great USHY ERON!! Throwin' Down! Hit That Puppy In The Head!!

RIP - USHY

[mojay11]

Yeah No Doubt! This is definitely a DFW classic. The late DJ Ushy was the man back in the day, he use to rock the clubs in Dallas-Fort Worth and was on the radio on K-104 and the old 107.5 KNOK. May he Rest In Peace.

[Mrnikep]

HEYYYYYY!!!! I can just hear USHAY mixing in " U GOT TO WORK THAT NECK!!" THIS IS A METROPLEX CLASSIC 4REAL.. R.I.P USHAY UR TRULY A DFW LEGEND........

[MrMidnite357]

@Mrnikep I moved from DFW two years ago... The GREAT USHAY has passed? He Was The Man back in the day. When I heard yhis song I thought of him playing this AT STARZ... R.I.P USHAY

[kaidrei]

@MrMidnite357 S_T_A_R_Z BABAYYYYYY...u know it was time to get out when that shite was said..LOL....USHAY Dr. Rock...remember the Christas/New Years mixes they used to do for days...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Polk Terrace here CC `86

[gentsounds]

@kaidrei DFW STAND UP!!!!

[TIPPY20]

@kaidrei Oak Cliff Playa !!! Ushay was the man.

[TIPPY20]

Oak Cliff Playa !!! Ushay was the man.

[gearronvinson]

@Mrnikep I can hear USHAY saying "you came here to party didn't ya" He and Dr Rock were off da chain back in the day. I can hear him mixing Intimate Connection by Kleer with this.

[untwan]

Ushy is legend. This was cut was my all time favorite. It takes me back to Sunday nights at Twilght and going to Starz.

[zeljr]

remember back in the day all you needed to here was... "THIS IS USHAY" sayin "Not this saturday..BUT next saturdat..We used to catch the bus to the Twlight!!!!

[nitro1935]

Aren't they from Greensboro, NC?

[gemini19662007]
