  • for the life of me, I could not find this song!!! did not know the name! finally...browsing through....here it is! So happy! I remember listening to my old college radio station back in the 90's and trying to tape it!!! lol I just pictured the entire song in my head! lol feeling that I want to......tonite!!! wow wow wow!

    thanks youtube!

  • I broke this out a few weeks ago while listening to my vinyl. Still in mint. I like the version on the flipside

  • Baseline 1991 philly august

  • tomaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa nº1

  • this instantly takes me back to the summer of 1991. amazing!

  • Unbelievable trip to take me back.....thank you soooo much for putting this up!

  • They don't make tracks like this any more only "American Idol" Bullshit

  • DJ Mark Watson (R.I.P.) introduced me to this song!!

    Thanks!!

  • To call this track epic is a massive understatement. That break down is heavenly

  • WOW. Just discovered this song. I wish there were clubs where I'm from where people really 'get' house music

  • @AndPlus ny chicago..europe and mos def...japan......

  • Heard this track at The Shelter back in the day......people starting going crazy.....there were people on the dance floor crying and singing it......It was one of my first great experiences of House Music......from the start,to the middle,to the slowing down near the end,to the speed up....this is one of the great ones.......this is one of the tracks that pull me into Househead Heaven........now I am certified...

  • That piano has got me!!!

  • Great track. Serious New Jersey styled track with a bit of B'more bounce. Love the emotive aspect of it all throughout. Great example of 90's house that pays homage to the early Chicago stuff as well as what influenced a lot of the European tracks.

  • @spinradiofm exactly, except here in europe some people think it started here(in Holland).

    Yeah the crappy tiesto stuff is euro(still influenced by american stuff) but the real soulfull funky stuff comes from america.

    Thankyou detroit,newyork ,chicago!

  • Mad what a track....surely one of the top House choons Ever. Still pumbs after all these years...LLLOOOVVVEEE IT

  • Haven't heard this song since the 90's and have been searching the web for it, just found it today. Great house song! Brings back a lot of memories! Clubbing was the best in those days, awesome music!

  • I remember buying this album in Philly and taking it back to West Virginia, where I went to college. I played it at a party and the Niggas from New york, Jersey, Philly, B-more, D.C., and Chicago that when to school their, lost their minds. One Homie from New York actually try to buy the album from me for $25. that was alot of money back in 91', of course i told him NO!

  • This was the 1st record i ever bought.....Downtown Records in NY!!!!!

  • >>CLASSIC<<

    

  • NYC house heads...please stand up !!!!!!!

  • club 55 @ Kuurne, Belgium 1991 !!!!

  • Clearly one of the greatest recordings of all time.

  • Takes me someplace else

  • Love this song so much,the memories from those days were sooo great this tune makes me sad for those days again...baltimore is no new york,but in the 90s b-more had a true,thrieving,underground house scene and this song by the basement boys and all others is a real testiment to b-more and its underground music scene back then,this song says it all for b-more,this song comes from the natives of this small city..true to the sound&sub-culture of garage&house music.

  • @cromag89

    Nice read about Baltimore...Was C-Dock, charles Dockins round that area?

  • @joecc6 yes sir,along with,teddy d,spin,david robbinson,pope,tommy,ouji,jero­me hicks,sean marshall,tracy,boobie,taunz and many others,but frank ski and pope lit a fire to the whole city and thats all bmore was about back then,gargage and house and club which is still going on now,but b-more club style came out of the underground house scene so there was and still is a mix of the 2 styles being played...depending on what club u go 2 of course.

  • @cromag89

    Are most of those mentioned by you, still involved?

  • Yesss Indeed!!  I had this on a mixed tape from DJ Hollywood from Newark NJ back in 1991!!! Grooving to this riding to Zanzibar!! But I'm from Philly!! Truly the best times of my life!! House Music 4ever!!

  • one of my favorite vinyls........todays music cant compare to the 90's.. sad : (

    today clubs/people are too busy with the pretentiousness wannabe v.i.p thing instead of being on the dance floor...

  • @ae86driftmaster NEWARK NJ..(HOME).ZANZIBAR....SENSATI­ONS...TONY MOTLEY..TONY HUMPHRIES...CLUB 280 CLUB 88........NEW YORK CITY...THE TUNNEL....... (HOME) THE SOUND FACTORY BAR...WILD PITCH..MARS...THE OCTAGON.......(THE LOKIDZ OWNED YALL) OOH OOOOOOOOH!!!

  • i used to play this all the time at my nite spot at players in bath lol

  • yeah!

  • True House Nation Classic

  • wow good times on this tune for real ....timeless 

  • Such a tune. Probably my favourite house record ever - proper B-line driven house, and the intro is just perfect. You could play this now and it would still sound great.

  • Saturday Night/Sunday Morning @ Sound Factory, March 16/17, 1991...Frankie played this track 3 times...the Reverse Remix twice and this one last!!! Thanx to DJ Juan Spencer (of 12" Dance DC) for taking me & my buddy Rodney on that road trip that night from DC to NY (and subsequently getting the 12'' for me)! His mixtapes for the road were FIERCE! Frankie also played his "Whistle Song" and "Gypsy Woman (She's Homeless)" thrice that night as NONE of those trax were released at that time.

  • @STLHouseLegend  i'm crying...

  • @LOveERDos S T U N N I N G !!! :-@

  • @LOveERDos  your memories sound so awesome!!

  • This is one of the rarest one of the best music that I was looking for awesome.

  • It was 1991 when I used to play this on the beach at 4 o'clock in the morning...and people where cuming....psiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiii

  • When I was 16 y/o I was partying, uh, a LOT--I just lived to be at the club, basically. Well, because I was leading a pretty fast life at the time, I told my brother that if I died I wanted this to be the song that was played at my funeral!! Lordy, Lordy Miss Shorty--I was a mess baby!! But for real this is one of the all-time best trax ever, and I thank you for posting. Any chance we could get the B-side? That was the sick dancefloor beat b/c you could layer it over any hard track... XOXO

  • CLASSIC!!!!!

  • 88-89 were the best years of my life. Its never been the same since. The drugs, the music, the scene were amazing.

  • @glittapuss ...i second that.

  • I WAS 15, IN HIGH SCHOOL WORKING PART TIME AND SAVING UP MY ALLOWANCE JUST TO BUY MY RECORDS AND CD'S AND MIXING THIS HOT TRACK OM MY MIXTAPES ALONG WITH OTHER SICK JOINTS, THAT MADE IT TREMOR ON THE DANCEFLOOR. ANOTHER LOVE MAKING CLASSIC! I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS JOINT ONLINE AS WELL FOR YEARS B/C I LOCKED UP MY VINTAGE RECORDS TO PASS ON TO MY NEXT GENERATION. 1

  • ANOTHER CLUB CLASSIC BANGER FROM THE BOYS

  • Takes me back to the Sound Factory.  Those were the days.

  • GREAT CLASSIC VOCAL HOUSE

  • What an Intro!! What a Classic!! Love It!! xxxx

  • CLASSIC music like this is not made anymore... F#c&en Timeless. Have been looking for this tune for ages. Thank you KUOTA51

  • timeless! so beautiful, I could cry...

  • a hit of the club house more beautiful in Italy..Vae Victis-the day club-

  • I remember paying £8.50 for the 12" when I was 15. That is an extortionate price to pay for a record, back in 1991, but couldn't not have it!

    Still have it, mint condition. :)

    Thanks for posting!

  • Oh My GOD!This was one of the hottest tracks back in the day. I love this. Only someone with the knowledge of house music and taste on their tongue could understand how hot it really is. This is what they played in the club to cool everyone down after an upbeat house track. You could just pace yourself with your dancing to cool off before the DJ picked it back up. WOW. Godd job KUOTA51. You know your shit.

  • priceless timeless 10/10

    safe n sound in my box

  • @kobe10uk You are too right. It is timeless, and that's why I'm losing my mind right now listening to it. Where are you from?

  • @kobe10uk how can i get a copy of this track greatest i have two copies on vinyl but i was looking for it like from a bit torrent or limewire & no luck so far

  • @broncodelveg i havnt search for it online as yet but if i find it i pass it on

  • @broncodelveg I found a brand new Those Guys album feat this on ebay, was only about £10 - so pleased ive got it, great tune x

  • I remember Italia Network..

  • @multidimensione the record is spinning for you!! get up and dance

  • Hot 97.....WoW!

  • Hot 97 New York City had this one on rotation.

  • @louiedesa Yes yes yes when they used to play dance music, those were the days!

  • OMG!!!!!!!!!

  • Baltimore!!!!

  • This Is A Super Track!!!

  • Jersey!! Zanzibar, Club 88, Sensations, Club Napoleon, Dazzles, Crystals, Club America, Peppermint, Club Kyaam, Gregorys, Bogeys, Le Prairies, damn and my club on Main St. that shut down, I'm blank now! Anyway...JERRRRRSEY!

  • Humphries dropped this at the Southport Weekender afterparty a few weeks ago- i hadn't heard it for ages- properly lost my mind i can tell you ha ha. Bona fide house classic this baby.

  • god this so good

  • could listen to this joint for another 10 minutes straight... good post!

  • Wait! I am at the Zanz???

  • Best song ever!

    I'll listen this tilI die. Put this song in my coffin. Je veux contiuer à l'écouter  jusqu'à ce que le monde finisse.

  • old skool but still amazing this house beat, love it :D

  • cult cult

  • rolling at 2 a.m afterhours ina club with this dope track cant get better. one of my favorites...

  • nothing better than this really ... :-)

  • Work my friend Beth and I used to pump this!

  • just thank you...

  • Absolute 100% awesomeness!!!!

  • CULT !

  • I HAVE THIS BOUGHT IT IN NY BY ...LUCK

  • At the start of the video, did the speech sample come from a movie?

  • It was a play.....forgot the name but a small production I saw on the campus of Morgan State University

  • A play called "For Colored Girls"

    had to look it up

  • The girls talking during the intro is the BEST,and then that beat drops.....WOW!

  • this is my favourite song of all time.

    reminds me of driving home from Venus down the M1 and the M62 in the early hours with the windows down and the warm sticky air as the sun came up over the Peninines.

    one of THE best house productions of all time, along with Don Carlos' Alone.

    perfect in every way.

  • THE INTRO IS SICK. NEVA HEARD IT B4!

  • a great intro !!

  • SO great! The intro, the rhythm, the atmosphere; grr! First time I heard this was through a remix (almost a remake!): think it was of the norwegian "Make A Move" by Snikksnakk, the remix was based on "Tonite". "Tell him that I want make love to him tonight"!

  • No doubt.... HOUSE MUSIC at its finest..... Totally ill.....

  • Yeaaah also on vinyl!

    what a record!!!

    5+ upload!

  • when New York had over 30-40- Mega clubs, all packed to the rafters. I was at Sound Factory with 10 of my friends on the dance floor and Junior put this on for the first time. We thought we would lose our minds

  • Oh yeah. This was the SLAMMER!

  • Junior wore this out at Sound Factory, Sugar Babies wore it out, Sound Factory Bar wore it out, let me see who else wore it out........Save the Robots!!!! Lol!!

  • But it was Frankie Knuckles that broke this record at Sound Factory during his brief reign. I remember it clearly. He had the first test pressing.

  • It doesn't matter who played it first as opposed to hearing it for the first time. The track is awesome.....

  • I agree. I just meant it was a very particular and short time in New York history.  For a certain period it was Frankie Knuckles and David DePino as DJ's at The Sound Factory. It didn't last for long but a few special records broke exactly at that time and this was one of them. I use music a lot of time to jar my memory to bring me back to where I was. There are DEFINITELY other songs that bring me back to Sound Factory with Junior spinning, in fact many like Let's Go by Fast Eddie.

  • What happened to David Pepino??? It's been so long and I am out of touch with the club scene from the late 80's/90's.

  • I'm pretty sure he's on facebook. But I don't know what he's up to. Try googling him.

  • Crazy you brought that up. I just googled "blacksheep at soundfactory bar" to see if I could find some old fliers. I saw them live there back in the day, but a fght broke out and some hot head grabbed a gun. Usual stuff for clubs back then...

  • Thats crazy.....they were supposed to perform at kilimanjaro's back when their 1st album dropped and a fight broke out there and someone got shot.....right before they were supposed to get on stage!

  • Word, Kiliminjaros was off the chain. That was originally Red Zone, right? Then became Home Base if I remember correctly.

  • EVERYBODY wore this out...

  • This IS HOUSE MUSIC! I remember dancing to this all nite long at Zanzibar, The Fever, Danceteria, Paradise Garage! All my NYC Househeads you remember! I see you!

  • Where Did These Days Go???

  • Why don't commercial labels bring back their dance divisions?? This is a big for MCA Records (Universal)

  • This was the fisrst 12 inch i cought after buying my 1210s.

    Sweet. Although you had to mix it before it started slowing down!!

  • Dude, I know exactly what ur talking about.... The slow down threw us DJs off!! This was house my dude!!!

  • Red Zone in NYC.....early 90's with David Morales on the turntables.......who else remembers that place and time?

  • The David and David show!!!

  • I got this on WAX!!!!!

  • Me too!!!!!

  • DANCE MADNESS

  • Piango... SPETTACOLO. Una delle tracce migliori del periodo.

  • @vTITO19 certo!!!

  • One of the greatest house tunes ever made, i can still remember when I first heard it and buying it

  • this was another kicka at the ClubHouse in DC!!! Damn, I had to play this one again!! This has brought back so many memories!!!! Man, and when they cut all the lights out in that club, and turned the tweeters up, it was hell in that club!!! Man, I am missing it!!!

  • Hey , I like this a lot. Never heard of this group before. Its real slammin' knee slappin' dope. Thanks !

  • I recently saw the play "For Colored Girls...." and while watching, one of the characters uttered the same words heard at the intro to this song! I thought I'd ...well u know. The song is and will always be Fierce!

  • Gorgeous! I was at the Cock last night. So tame compared to the 80s and 90s. But this song sent me back. Thank you so much for posting!!

    Where can I get a copy, even vinyl?

  • Great Piece of Music!!!!! TIMELESS!!!!!!!

    Thanks again KAI ALCE!!!!!!!!!!

    RESPECT JAMES GERARD NYC.

  • Back room at Limelight(before Michael A)..they used to play the best house in that back room with the chandelier...this track was a guarantee....absolute classic.!

    Another track was "luv Dancin",,,

  • BADDNESS

  • great!!!!!

  • Who are "Those Guys" did they make the song? I think it is remixed by Basement Boys. No mention of who Those Guys are.

  • Those Guys are The Basement Boys but the vocals are Eleanor Mills.

  • OMG! I been lookin for THIS song forever! I was a kid at the clubs in NYC when this came on! THIS is a BLACK Gay Anthem!

  • pity the end was cut.  thanks for posting anyway.

  • i get chills each time i hear it. never gets old to me. love this music. speaks to me. it's like of raw emotion had a sound this music would be it. check out my playlist called MUSIC STUFF for more like it.

  • Gorgeousness and gorgosity made flesh.

  • this track haunted me at the sound factory for months,  yet i somehow couldn't get enough of it.

  • I remember the first time I heard it in the sound factory. They played it from the begining, it was beyond words. Otherwordly.

  • Holy Crap! I was there that night too! Seems like yesterday and a thousand years ago at the same time. It was the first time he played it. An old friend who was there that night signed it to MCA the following week. The part that always gets me is when the base kicks back in after the break, followed by that hand clap and that forever unforgettable sample "tell him that I want to make love to him tonight"

  • yes. i remember when it started to slow down we thought something was wrong. then it stopped and started again, it was crazy. it was a great time for the music back then. but nothing lasts forever.

  • I loved this song since I was 16 years old

  • One of the best songs ever, one of my favorites!

  • Makes me cry - wow - amazing...

  • Some Nigga, sweating all over you! the Basement Boys are some of the all time best House producers!

  • absolute stomper so reminds me of an ERA in Uk when my friends & I all danced & raved like no tomorrow

  • Omg, I adore this song so much. Thank you for this post. Simply Nostalgia..

  • love the organs... real deep house!

  • AAAAAHHHHHHHH YYYYEEEAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I feel like living in 1991 when it comes to hearing this jam. Personally I think "Love Don't Live Here Anymore(1986)" and this track were the best Basement Boys stuff that I heard. And as a matter of fact, the only two.

  • Comment removed

  • LOL...aww come on, what about "Lift Every Voice" by Mass Order and "Scandal" by Ultra Nate?!?! straight bangers by Bassment Boys as well! -but that's just me.
