This song reminds me of my first girl... She was an 80's latina disco chick (aka: A Cha-Cha Girl), at least that's what we called them out West. Man, those chicks were hot with the big hair. The only down side was that you had to keep them away from and open flame because of all the Aqua Net in thier hair. Everytime I hear this song, visions of the "Cha-Cha" chicks come back to me. :oD
@MyJoker1967 - YEEEEESSS!!! Orchard Beach - in the ONLY Borough that is SO phenomenal it has to have a "THE" in front of it...........THE Bronx, Baby!
Love the 80s...I'm so happy to have been young and going out to dance clubs when all these great songs were playin. Such sweet memories. This was one of my favs...
Some one help me out here please! If you're on this site, you probably know the hit by Kariya called "Let me Love you for tonite". I always wondered what Kariya looked like but can never find any photos? Does anyone know?
kesha jacked this beat for BLOW. why can't these "new artists" write some original sh*t like all these old school people did. this song is the shit. super dope jams from my childhood.
I dont care if it winter, spring, summer, fall ,I love song to death. Bring back memories of roller skating at block parties in NYC, Bronx BABY! THANX
Thanks for posting. Do you know how long I've been searching for this song??!! My friends and I used to just go wild on the dance floor when this started to play. Loooove it!!
This record lit my middle school dance the fuck up!! I was in a full trance - bump it loud! This is why I am a drummer -see my videos * comments' leave some ...all welcomed
i love this old stuff back when you could listen to the radio for hours not like now a days where there are only a few good songs and the rest is all the same an shitty i listen to an old skool station alot cuz its just better sometimes
We wasted no time running to the dance floor when this beat blasted from the speakers!!!!! Minni skirts, heels and big hair..........80's beam me back.
why are people so caught up on the orgin of a lot of these old school artist? who cares, all I know is this was the joint, and i'm a black man if it matters.
here another example Canadas France Jolis, "come to me" which is a euro disco track, was produced and mixed in Phili.....and the producer Tony Green is italian....does that make it italo-disco because Tony is italian? of course not.....
Yes this is freestyle, and its also disco. It depends on the dance club its played in but this song is both. Its no Latin freestyle because the singer and producer are Italian, so that would technically make it Italo-disco/Freestyle/Old school Eurodance. I'm a DJ and avid music collector.
@ColdHeartsEnt your another idiot, being italian is "latin"......and for your info, the producer was not italian, he was jewish....thats 2 strikes, 1 more, your out.....
@ColdHeartsEnt so let me ge tthis straight, because it wasnt produced by a "latin" (spanish) it therefore cannot be latin freestyle...then you post, because the producer was italian, (which is incorrect) it would make it italo-disco----ok so then, does that mean all of Giorgio Moroders recordings with donna summer are italo disco? for the record, italo-disco is a sound, the producer can be black,white, yellow, or purple, it doesnt matter where in the world its produced.......unreal
@sckarr1 your an idiot, of course its disco, its a sub genre of disco, as is house, high-energy, and countless other forms of dance music...you just failed music 101

@sckarr1 for the record, i dont like using wiki because its known to not always be accurate---- people like you will read it and think its gospel, and peole like me sit back and laugh at people like you because you dont know any better---with that said, if you look up the term 'disco' on wiki, it does reference early 80s latin freestyle as a sub genre....you need a good lesson in disco and its sub-genres
This is NYC Freestyle - prevalent in the 80's right along side the Hip Hop & House music explosion that was happening in all the 5 boroughs of the NYC - this combination had all the clubs banging out till 6 in the morning & beyond!
what genre of music this is in my country its known as old school disco.... styles like this & noel silent morning is known as disco also... so let me know!!!! thank u
@slimjohnify - This is known as freestyle music. A genre created in the early 80s by New York born Puerto Ricans or Nuyoricans. If you google Freestyle music, you will come across a very large number of Puerto Rican artists within his genre. And there were some people who weren't Puerto Rican but still created songs in the same style as well. Noel is Puerto Rican but Nocera is not.
@torr59622 - So am I. Technically. Except WE, do not perpetuate division between those who happen to be born on the island & those in the U.S. Ask him, he'll say the same I'm sure. In anticipation for your next possible comment regarding classification, my initial comment was based on the desire to honor those ancestors correctly. Caribbean native American can never be considered, even remotely, as Latin.
Except for the fact that they speak a Latin language derivative called Spanish, I see your point. But you mention a different issue-being born stateside and on the island. You dont have to perpetuate a difference-the difference exists, especially to those who were born before WWII. This then begs the question-should people be considered Puerto Rican who exist in America diasporically, or Americans who happen to be ethnically Puerto Rican and just part of the melting pot?
@torr59622 - Yes, I do. There is nothing I can do about that except maybe go back in time & change the conquest. Lol it's the same issue, Nuyorican (Stateside) & Puerto Rican (Island born). The fact is, we, here, do not call ourselves Nuyorican. We call ourselves Puerto Rican. I'm not sure if I can answer your question, just myself alone. That would be something to be addressed collectively to everyone as a whole. We still say Puerto Rican & we're all born here.
At what point does living in this country constitute being American first and Puerto Rican second? Arent all of our collective interests American? You may make Pasteles at Xmas, but hamburgers and pizza are used just as much. What happens if u marry an Italian guy, and your children marry WASP\Mexican\Irish? There has to be a way for us to not be so negatively segmented. The Caribbean and Latin America is a melting pot itself-when do we change the splinter Identifications in the US?
"We still say Puerto Rican & we're all born here" ............Is this not as incorrect as describing the "Caribbean" as "Latin America"? Describing oneself as "Puerto Rican" when you are born under the US flag is factually incorrect. Yet, one could be born in Puerto Rico and be considered "American". You have any idea how many I come across who think you need a passport to travel to San Juan?
@torr59622 -It is what it is.Millions of us born here, who live here & speak English as our 1st language, still call ourselves Puerto Rican.I think it may be because we don't want to lose our cultural connection.Not sure who coined the term, Nuyorican, if it was a U.S. based sociologist, Puerto Ricans on the island or our very selves born here but it's stressed by those born on the island to perpetuate division.It is sad. I'm not surprised @ the passport assumption. It is the Caribbean.
Hopefully the division from the island is only the older people Ive been around. If you are younger than say 40, the island is interchangable with states. I like the "is what it is" saying. It fits to a lot of topics.
@torr59622 - Unfortunately, it isn't.But people will always find a way to highlight one's differences instead of perpetuating unity. 1 of humanity's many downfalls. It is what it is ;-)
I just finished a book from Rutgers Prof Lorrin Thomas about politics in PR NYork community from 1920-1970. She goes into pretty good detail about the division among people from the Caribbean and the PR community overall. An interesting read to say the least-although I think to deny that a European "white" influence existed in Caribbean culture is the same as denying any other part.
@torr59622 - Sounds interesting but what you suggest couldn't possible be what I did especially since the very core of this conversation is about honoring the lost ancestors. If the conquest didn't occur to begin with, the ancestors wouldn't need remembering at all.
@slimjohnify I've seen it called a myriad of different things, sometimes things which make reference to the albums it has been featured on.
Freestyle, Latin power pop, or simply, Dance. And, if you look up Bass Bomb, you'll find alot of this type of music as well. I'm not sure if it ever had an official title. The 80's was a rush of different music styles morphing and cross-breeding with one another, so it can be very tricky to delineate what was known as what. Hope that all made sense. :)
@MurgasonYage - Italians are Latin. Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Mexicans, Central & S. Americans are not Latin nor Latin American. That term is incorrect in defining the people of such locales. It's just been used for so long that people have gotten used to using it in its incorrectness.
@LaTainaIndia Wrong. Latin America encompasses the Carribean. The Caribean islands were founded under the flag of Spain, but branched out to later be owned by French, English and Dutch,populated by African slaves throughout the 15-1800's.Portuguese settled Brazil. All of those languages derive from Latin, hence the term. But its all splitting hairs no?Latin shouldnt be an identity, and I think thats where u were headed. So I agree there.
@torr59622 - No, I'm right. I am Caribbean myself. You're definitely not telling me anything new about myself, my people or my heritage. Since it's derivative of the language & conquest, it is incorrect. There were inhabitants of native descent occupying these areas. To cite them in determining category would be more appropriate. This is a mislabeling that needs to cease already. But until, we collectively come up with a more accurate term, it will have to be this wrong one.
Why is it necessary to have a label at all? US demographers are the ones obsessed with labeling. Attempting to create a "one size fits all" term is futile. And Whats with the "my people, my heritage" attitude. My Parents are from Puerto rico and Cuba, and my Grandparents immigrated there from the Canary Islands over 120 years ago. I dont have an issue with either term for the region, but ethnicity is a personal choice.
@torr59622 - In today's society apparently. How else would demographics be addressed? "What's with" the "my people", "my heritage" UNDERSTANDING is that the ancestors should be respected & not mislabeled. If it doesn't bother you then maybe it's because your heritage doesn't stem from that leaf. I don't know, I'm not sure why it doesn't bother you but I do know that it bothers me that millions died b/c of genocide & their memory is deserving of @ the very least, the truth.
Conquest and oppression were not White Europe's creation. On the islands and elsewhere tribal warring existed. I wont deny the atrocities in the name of the crown and GOd-but all these centuries later I dont get riled up over simple-minded descriptions that I didnt create. Latin America is just a term describing the region-But if you want me to start referring to it as the Carribean for ancestral respect-so be it.
@torr59622 -In this case it was.& regardless if there was tribal warring,it doesn't make it right.All these centuries later, fact is fact & respect is due.If u don't care, then say that but don't confuse correction & discourse with getting "riled up".Even if I did I don't need your permission to do so.It's this very passive attitude that continues to perpetuate incorrect history.Like I said if you don't care then don't.If u do, then simply respect it. In the end,the ancestors should be honored.
I remember going to the mall with my cousins when I was four, and this is one of the songs they would be blasting in their Toyota Van LE. Man, those were the days!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA!!!! My all-time favorite song for the summer!!! I was about 10 when this was released!!!! The DJs and radio stations here in Chicago still play this song and I will never, ever get tired of it at all!!!

You may make Pasteles at Xmas, but hamburgers and pizza are used just as much. What happens if u marry an Italian guy, and your children marry WASP\Mexican\Irish? There has to be a way for us to not be so negatively segmented. The Caribbean and Latin America is a melting pot itself-when do we change the splinter Identifications in the US?

"We still say Puerto Rican & we're all born here" ............Is this not as incorrect as describing the "Caribbean" as "Latin America"? Describing oneself as "Puerto Rican" when you are born under the US flag is factually incorrect. Yet, one could be born in Puerto Rico and be considered "American". You have any idea how many I come across who think you need a passport to travel to San Juan?

@torr59622 -It is what it is.Millions of us born here, who live here & speak English as our 1st language, still call ourselves Puerto Rican.I think it may be because we don't want to lose our cultural connection.Not sure who coined the term, Nuyorican, if it was a U.S. based sociologist, Puerto Ricans on the island or our very selves born here but it's stressed by those born on the island to perpetuate division.It is sad. I'm not surprised @ the passport assumption. It is the Caribbean.

Hopefully the division from the island is only the older people Ive been around. If you are younger than say 40, the island is interchangable with states. I like the "is what it is" saying. It fits to a lot of topics.

@torr59622 - Unfortunately, it isn't.But people will always find a way to highlight one's differences instead of perpetuating unity. 1 of humanity's many downfalls. It is what it is ;-)

I just finished a book from Rutgers Prof Lorrin Thomas about politics in PR NYork community from 1920-1970. She goes into pretty good detail about the division among people from the Caribbean and the PR community overall. An interesting read to say the least-although I think to deny that a European "white" influence existed in Caribbean culture is the same as denying any other part.

@torr59622 - Sounds interesting but what you suggest couldn't possible be what I did especially since the very core of this conversation is about honoring the lost ancestors. If the conquest didn't occur to begin with, the ancestors wouldn't need remembering at all.

@slimjohnify FREESTYLE YOU MEAN!
cleanupboy73 6 months ago
@slimjohnify I've seen it called a myriad of different things, sometimes things which make reference to the albums it has been featured on.
Freestyle, Latin power pop, or simply, Dance. And, if you look up Bass Bomb, you'll find alot of this type of music as well. I'm not sure if it ever had an official title. The 80's was a rush of different music styles morphing and cross-breeding with one another, so it can be very tricky to delineate what was known as what. Hope that all made sense. :)

@MurgasonYage - Italians are Latin. Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Mexicans, Central & S. Americans are not Latin nor Latin American. That term is incorrect in defining the people of such locales. It's just been used for so long that people have gotten used to using it in its incorrectness.

@LaTainaIndia Wrong. Latin America encompasses the Carribean. The Caribean islands were founded under the flag of Spain, but branched out to later be owned by French, English and Dutch,populated by African slaves throughout the 15-1800's.Portuguese settled Brazil. All of those languages derive from Latin, hence the term. But its all splitting hairs no?Latin shouldnt be an identity, and I think thats where u were headed. So I agree there.
torr59622 3 months ago
@torr59622 - No, I'm right. I am Caribbean myself. You're definitely not telling me anything new about myself, my people or my heritage. Since it's derivative of the language & conquest, it is incorrect. There were inhabitants of native descent occupying these areas. To cite them in determining category would be more appropriate. This is a mislabeling that needs to cease already. But until, we collectively come up with a more accurate term, it will have to be this wrong one.
LaTainaIndia 3 months ago
Why is it necessary to have a label at all? US demographers are the ones obsessed with labeling. Attempting to create a "one size fits all" term is futile. And Whats with the "my people, my heritage" attitude. My Parents are from Puerto rico and Cuba, and my Grandparents immigrated there from the Canary Islands over 120 years ago. I dont have an issue with either term for the region, but ethnicity is a personal choice.
torr59622 3 months ago
@torr59622 - In today's society apparently. How else would demographics be addressed? "What's with" the "my people", "my heritage" UNDERSTANDING is that the ancestors should be respected & not mislabeled. If it doesn't bother you then maybe it's because your heritage doesn't stem from that leaf. I don't know, I'm not sure why it doesn't bother you but I do know that it bothers me that millions died b/c of genocide & their memory is deserving of @ the very least, the truth.

Conquest and oppression were not White Europe's creation. On the islands and elsewhere tribal warring existed. I wont deny the atrocities in the name of the crown and GOd-but all these centuries later I dont get riled up over simple-minded descriptions that I didnt create. Latin America is just a term describing the region-But if you want me to start referring to it as the Carribean for ancestral respect-so be it.
torr59622 3 months ago
@torr59622 -In this case it was.& regardless if there was tribal warring,it doesn't make it right.All these centuries later, fact is fact & respect is due.If u don't care, then say that but don't confuse correction & discourse with getting "riled up".Even if I did I don't need your permission to do so.It's this very passive attitude that continues to perpetuate incorrect history.Like I said if you don't care then don't.If u do, then simply respect it. In the end,the ancestors should be honored.
