[ezetobebad]

@discodancer69 . Thanks Fudge

[discodancer69]

@ezetobebad You're welcome; interesting version, but, imao, nothing to compare with Joe Smooth

[wingent11]

One of the best tracks of the 80s- these days will be sadly missed........

[BubbRubbWhistlerTips]

[MegaWankenstein]

[joebstarsurfer]

Please.. help me, you would do a big thing for a person who would love to listen to the music like Frankie Knuckles.. I love this!

[olivernautsch]

@MarDesire search for "History of house music prt 1 ... 15"

[MegaWankenstein]

timeless, no other word to describe it.

[MrFool439]

I forgot how in the 90's in music vids they mostly showed the singer dancing and singing :3

[phanor123]

Unforgettable!!! All the Greatest DJ's of the time would play this late late in there sets.My Lord what a time for Dance Music!! This personally reminds me of the TUNNEL NYC.There will never ever be a scene like that again!!!!!

[69ways2sunday]

ANTHEMIC...CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!! TIMELESS!!!!!!!

[thedaftpunk23]

CHICAGO REPRESENT!!!!!

[DigitalLazarus]

In 1989 my music producer boyfriend and I were in Chicago on holiday from London. We made a special trip to the DJ International offices, just walked in and asked if we could meet Tony Thomas! Wouldn't you know it be he actually was there and came out to meet us and sign our big 12-inch Vinyl. What a class-act! This track is one of the greatest House anthems of ALL time and it is STILL relevant today. Thanks for posting! XOXOX

[krauseka]

Oh yeah...this is great!

[katmandoo76]

Great tune

[alex91z]

0:22 a Daft Punk's sample !

[revengew10]

@alex91z good spotting - Daft punk - human after all

[alex91z]

@revengew10 I would rather say the end of Superheroes

[funkerman7]

@alex91z zero chance that is an actual sample

[hilliesse]

Décidément ce truc vieillit pas .. Je parle pas de la vidéo ou l'on voit encore des K7 audio .. OMG ... mais le gimmick et la mélodie ..Oh yeah ... oh yeah

[danbloggo]

to the turds who dislike this choooon.....up yours

[mrP694]

Fashion, hairstyles and music.. it all makes me sad that I didn't live in 80s.

[djrive]

@mrP694 I feel the same way, TV shows and cartoons from the 80s are also more entertaining than what we have today

[mrP694]

@djrive Yeah, especially in the USA. 80s culture of the US is fascinating me because in my country we had communism back then.

[lean3000]

TemazOoOoOOOOooOOooOO

[senseTUBE]

one of the best songs ever made

[osanjose]

Awsome song, much better than Style Council's cover, but cheesy video. I'll pretend I'm just listening to the music.

[recr0000001]

this is house music

[miltonatchet]

id do anything for that cassette

[gorillym]

what a fucking awesome song.. how can their music taste be so fucking cool but their dress sense be so bad...?! thank god whoever made the song had better production skills than the person who made the video!!!!!

[gorillym]

what a fucking awesome song.. how can their music taste be so fucking cool but their dress sense be so bad...?!

[maqbeq]

S.F.U.R.

[Multi1628]

House Music!!!!!!!!!!!!Thank you for posting this 1987 dance classic! This will always be one of my favourites because it is still so fresh!! Why do so many people so intensely dislike the fact that the Style Council covered it in '89? PEACE... DAVEDJ

[jimbotron70]

@Multi1628

because when a song is so perfect in any aspect no one should dare covering it unless it can be done at least twice better

("if you can't do it better why try it?")

[jamie23522352]

bad boy

[estormezinhu]

adolfoooo

[coldfreshair]

We all love this song, as it paints our hearts with the colours of love, warmth, humanity and house. One day we will be free!

[housemanchi]

@80schihousetube Mine too! I actually saw Joe Smooth a few months ago, one of Chicago's true Dance music talents!

[D1GPLightning]

No way....

I happened to be listening to this song when I visited Chicago.

Now, when I think of Chicago, it reminds me of this song.

I come home and play some GTA SA on SF-UR, come on youtube, and find out that this was made in Chicago.

AWESOME!

[QueenMach]

Yeh...... good times!!!!!!

[MPvW76]

Awesome really brings me back to the good old days

[VGMEnix]

Growin up on the southside of Chicago, this jam was played at every day-time party we went to. The music back then sounded so fresh. I love livin in the home of house music.

[st4vert]

almost cried. dmn i am getting old

[DJSK7shot]

@st4vert , cry for what? missing the times and the music? Don't waste your time worrying, True and Powerful music will always live on. I am living proof of it! I'm 25 years old, much younger than you, and I'm in love with this song and all kinds of classic House music. So your age is just a number my friend, keep your head up. The party aint over till we're dead!

[st4vert]

@DJSK7shot , no it is the XTC. i am a emotional wreck these days. Don't do drugs.

[L0rd0fDarkne55]

@st4vert So what? I am not even 18 and I cried. What a beautiful song.

[mrP694]

@st4vert Not only you... Despite that I'm much almost 10 years younger than this song, I love it.

[rtuinstra]

@st4vert Ja man de feesten illegaal, de muziek uit t hart, de pillen goed en niet giftig . groeten van de Toxinator.

[bmwz4177]

1989, bellissimo pezzo anni 80!!!!

[Trancecomms]

Is that Chichen Itza? A truely great house music classic

[MrJackbobo]

chi-town baby late 80's

[deeder2000]

Listening to this after about 5 years brings back the memories of back to over 20 years ago when I first heard it. Still a stand-out track from that era! And it's got the Adrenalin flowing. I remember waking up in some dark dingy rave and getting back up with this track!

[DJSkywalka1]

A true house classic!

[platosmithify]

this track is so important to the develpoment of house music!!! i remember when a dj first dropped it in a club i was in! blew everybodys mind and took the roof of the place! the love and hope of these early house tracks still lives in my heart,as it does in all true house music fans! unity through music!i still play this track i rate it as up there with the likes of carl craig-strings of life,and many others i dont have enough room here to tell u all jus how good this track is!! i jus love it

[pearlship37]

top tune... we were all happy then... so miss those days... at least we have our memories and our music! xx

[cincykidcat]

This song still give me chills after all these years. Long live house music

[matheusgu]

There is something in this music that makes me happy

[nakedsmile]

[walesfan1]

@blkbarbie333 Cool.

[yaykaboom]

@blkbarbie333 awesome fazer..

[deejayvogg]

it's just stupid how black people were opressed and descriminated...

i'm very happy that this nation stood up and fought for freedom and for the right of being treated like human beings they are.

it's amazing what music can do :)

i love new school house music and it's variants but i just can't let go that oldschool vibe warehouse music!

ps: i'm white.

[wils35]

@blkbarbie333 He looks like MC Hammer

[blkbarbie333]

@wils35 who looks like MC Hammer?
