15/10

[nci3music]

oops... I made a mistake! It's ROBERT OWENS not Robert Smith singing lead vocals!

[nci3music]

Simply a CLASSIC from Mr. Fingers with the Fab-u-los Robert Smith at the lead vocals! Oh what memories...

[DFA1981]

This leaves me speechless...Larry Heard = genius !!!

This is unbelievable! I bought Larry Heard's (Mr.Fingers) Amnesia CD a while back & I always found myself listening to this track the most but the version on the CD has no singin on it. It's just a hauntingly beautiful track with so much soul, Larry Heard is a Genius!!!

[IRFANRAIN]

Another all time classic from Larry Heard, takes me back so strong,used to bug out to this 20 years ago !!!

[jhunter1021]

Memories...

[cookandspin]

[bigsean9999]

I bought this Album when it first came out and it still sounds as good now as it did then! Fantastic

[brandoncipelle]

Man music is my only drug its gets me high everytime gotta say 5 Stars

[drjohn187]

my favourite from another side lp ,why it wasent on robert owens triple lp is a mystery as its his best vocal performance..by the way 1 st heard this on a documentry called club culture shown on channel four back in 1988.perfect late 80s garage ..

[kobe10uk]

safe n sound in my box

[reory]

byeeeee, byeeeeee i'll say byeeeee i'll say byeeeee..........wownderful! you can never get tired of listening to this tune, it has a good message.........." ummmm the flavours just not for me i have to get away"...lol brilliant lyrics, long live house

[bratobretobritobroto]

I'm working on a petition... I suggest that they should build an audio museum in chicago in which everybody could listen to all tracks that where ever produced in chicago. It should have an nighbouring dance hall with 24 h party music. The ticket for the museum should be valid for the dance hall, too. Drugs and drinks should be for free, of course. What do you think?

[Idisapprove]

Good idea, but keep the drugs or sit in the corner away from everybody else and have your own little session.

I'll take the music as my high thanks.

[dcflava74]

Sounds like a great idea but I think you can do without the drugs and alcohol.

[retrospect77]

wish i could

[retrospect77]

If the music was chicago dance music 1983 - 1989 then i'll move in permanently

[maccagrabme]

@bratobretobritobroto I'd like to see an audio museum for all forms of classic music, this included. The trouble is I wouldn't want to leave.

[puchie82766]

I used to hear this track at the time on 98.7 KISS MasterMix Dance Party by TONY HUMPHRIES..But many in new york will agree BOBBY KONDERS used to set things off when he played this on WBLS AFTERNOON TRAFFIC MIX !!!!

[dcflava74]

Most definitely,Tony Humphries was famous for playing many house tunes by Robert Owens and CeCe Rogers.

[donluv]

Wow, this joint takes me back when I was djing college radio in Ithaca, NY (3 Da Hard Way)! Definitely used to rock this joint during my segment. A scorcher indeed.....

[atuocool]

Does anyone have "Lonliness" by Kelvin Pizzaro or "I Promise" by Mark Rogers? Two classic tracks...

[magicflea123]

Wow this is amazing! Way before my time but still, it doesnt matter, classics like these are timeless.

[silentintroduction]

Another Class Slept on Classic From

Larry Heard,Robert Owens & Ron Wilson

[Tambian88]

Thanks again Tam for the kind words! I really am not worthy! LOL But without people like you - giving your great and informative comments - would be pointless me doing this.

You can always feel free to test me on that mate! LOL :) ;)

Peace and respect!

Leon

Just had a tear drop down from my eyes...WHY?

Coz today people is the 19th Anniversary of

SUNRISE N BACK TO THE FUTURE - 12 AUGUST 1989

So 19 years later im leaving a comment about this track i heard at that outdoor party back then..

You havent got a clue of how im feeling at this present moment!

Im choked! :( but oh so happy at the same time!

Tam

[RealFreshBlog]

A very happy 19th Anniversary to all the original & tru old school ravers out there! You know who you are!

Big peace to each and every one of you!

Thank you Tam m8 for keeping us informed :)

[Tambian88]

Thanks Leon for your support!

Were all on an ever going journey to find out what makes us tick in life - i for one have found it in house music

If i had one wish, it would be to take all my YT family and friends back in time and show you exactly why the reason is i get so excited about the raves from back then!

It opened my eyes and it changed my life!

As far as comparing it - it was as to me important as the first man on the moon!

Sunrise n Back To The Future 1989 - PRICELESS!

Tam:)

[Hammersmith80]

@Tambian88 I have a got a clue how you're feeling because like so many of us I was there!!! I shall never forget 1989, one of the most memorable and special years of my life!

[bigslick45]

Chicago!!!! 80's was NO JOKE

[fntimania]

[SudhamaRang]

nice track. never heard this one glad I have.

[Chicagowax]

Nice "coming down" music. Essential Fingers Inc. Quality post.

[tambian]

To me, this is THE best house track i have Ever heard! Cant even begin to tell you the importance of this as far as my life was concerned! Basically, in 1988 i was driving listening to pirate radio. Fell asleep behind the wheel. All of a sudden this track comes on, for some reason i woke up, only to find myself heading straight 4 a roundabout. Doing 80mph,i quiclky turned the wheel and missed it by a fraction!

And to think this track is called 'BYE BYE'.

Cant thank u enuff Leon!

Tam ***

[RealFreshBlog]

Damn tam!! That's both sad and lucky at the same time!! Man, to think you owe Larry Robert and the other guy(I always forget his name!)your life in effect, eh? Thank god you woke up is all I can say!!

[RRKS69]

Tam,

Fuck man, that is truely a fitting story bruv.

It goes hand in hand with something that I have always said/believed in:

Music is such an important component of each and every one of our lives - more so than we will ever know...

PEACE from the CHI,

RR

[Tambian88]

Well Rick, it goes without saying that im not at all surprised by your fantastic comment!

Its the one medium that everyone can relate to,music is the king of emotion and memory, without it our lives would surely be empty.

Respect!

Tam:)

[reory]

i second that man, this tune is an embody of emotions blood, true music deep house style

[Tambian88]

Could'nt have said it better Reory!

100% Respect!
