wow. this shit is amazing

[jesusc1ful]

The female lead singer told me that the video was on You Tube. I was in a different group and was asked to tour as one of the background singers. I am wearing the pale lavender gown. We shot it, I believe on the West Side of New York. Wonderful Memory....Thank you

@jesusc1ful - Okay, you're one of the "say what" girls, lol, I can dig it. You are fine, as was all of the women in this video, this is one of my favorite jams from the summer of 1982, thanks for your contribution my Sista'...

[halfaglassify]

this is freaking awesome - came to this through the 6th Borough Project re-edit, they didn't need to do a lot to it - just speed it up.

[buffalochuck1]

Hello I'm buffalochuck I was in the group Xavier . I sang background vocals I was one of the low voices i played some percussion and danced. I'm also Jesse Cassarino' Dad I thank you very much for putting us on youtube . My cousin Tim was the drummer for the group . Dancing singing and performing those were some of the best times of my life. So keep on doing it to the max and work that sucker to death.

[wingedgecko]

@buffalochuck1 This was one of my ALL TIME favorite LPs. I'm really big into electronic music today, and really liked your more "electronic funk" sound. Way before Midnight Star & Atlantic Star. I would just kill to have this CD or MP3s. Do you know where I can get them?

[comanche8888]

Ayanna Little is the female vocalist - I thought she could have kept blowin up, she was getting well know for doing extremely tight hair braiding.

[K1L06]

Greg Wilson introduced me to this, I like it!

[K1L06]

Heard this on a few of Greg Wilsons mixes, sounds good!

[bonziano]

It"s so rare to see these artists from the early 80's in videos, singers/bands from Liberty records like here Xavier or Dayton...

Real BIG THANKS for this nice nice video.

Imageminister, Do it to the max ! More of these, if any in stock...thanx

[RickyMoss]

the lady singing is sooo pretty

[gldtng0867]

This is when black music was at it's very best. It's a shame the way things have changed for the worse. Music now days has gone down the toilet. Rap and hip-hop needs to go the way of the dinosaur.

[saj8]

@gldtng0867 Nah, homie, your ears are playing tricks on you. This is black music at its' worst.

I wasn't digging that song back in 1981 and I don't dig it now.

[imageminister]

@saj8 Hilarious! Thanks for all the comments! I really appreciate it all, good or bad! What's kewl is this little video we made didn't die on the vine so easily!

[GERMAN799RSP]

EXCELENT ¡¡¡

[gldtng0867]

This is black music at some of it;s finest!!!

[comadyret]

Old School funk - still work to the max, the only made one album or?

No matter what this rules to the max!!!

[gldtng0867]

@comadyret Now this is a damn good song even after 20 some odd years. Not that bullshit the youngsters listen to now-days.

[fazeunclegersh]

uuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­

[doointhedoo]

let me do you like this. .. ughhh! friggin hilarious! lol

[doointhedoo]

what the?!! I was 13 years old when this came out or was I 12? geesh! didn't know it had a video.

[XxiLLViLLAiNxX]

"Baby I'm the X and I got the power."

I'm using that.

[abc1963]

An absolute classic! Damn! Been searching for a cd of it since cd's came out!

[djhaynes99]

I did see it on CD a few years back on a French website, they wanted 100 Euros for it which is about $140. I guess it was released in Europe, but nowhere else for some reason.

[3811iberis]

Wow......I know I haven't seen this video since 1982, this is one of my favorite R&B songs from that year, smooth and funky, thanks for this rarest of rare videos imageminister.

[imageminister]

@3811iberis You got it to the MAX!

[WildWicks]

Thanx 4 the memories. What happen to this group

[EONSFTFAN]

Great video!!! I never even knew this existed but remember this song so well when it was being played on the radio and still have my 45 of it.

Thanks for sharing

[Afeonim]

[imageminister]

Wow, who is your friend's dad? Thanks for coming by and viewing!

[Afeonim]

My friend Jesse Cassarino, at 0:18 his dad is in the video

[kax61]

Funny how one after the other close friends of this kinda cult figures seem to pop up all of a sudden....it's lost of make believe....it never happened.

[johnllucas]

wow, this is amazing. I like those pans. We like the pearls, the wall painting, the max matches, makes us feel sooo good. We love the xavier logo. X !

[devijann]

Awesome video! I wished I'd seen this a long time ago. And the guy playing the piano looks reeeaaal familiar. :-)
