what happened to music ffs... back then, it was all about talent & nowadays, the charts are ruled by talentless autotuned wannabes who know shit about music... the music industry is to blame that guys like these dont exist anymore :-(

[KevFromHouston]

[shadow86uk]

Splendid Guvna

[HypeRhymz]

@krishaeD I'm with you. And I'm 16, plus imma Prince freak so when I heard RFTW u know I went crazy.

[krishaeD]

[Rolo8942]

This is one of my favorite songs ever, I love this band

[719kai719]

I remember this song:) Good music by RFTW!

[Sobernic1982]

AAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhh...The 80's!! :DD

[Darinw40]

Props to the boys from Flint Mi...from a former A2 resident..thanks for the sweet memories of the 80's

[impellernut]

killer bass work

[dejay1507]

We use to dance to this shit.....that synthesizer was and still is so cold....RFTW was one of the last bands in R&B then came the Tonys and Mint Condition....BIGUPS!!!!!! 4 the post

[PotentialGrows]

MUSIC: Sounds, usually produced by instruments or voices, that are arranged or played in order to create an effect. STOP COMPARING SINGERS, GENRES,ERAS just enjoy this one!

[MrBillydoo]

Love Ready for the World- Hate vevo!!!

[sainttrunks1982]

I still say the Lead Singer looks like Chris Tucker

[blueneon]

a time when bruthas PLAYED. When bands were BANDS. Mint Condition, Joe Public, Tony-Toni-Tone. nuff respect to Earth Wind and Fire, Frankie and Maze, Guy and many others. If I forgot to mention any others, charge it to my head not to my heart.

[DE712]

@blueneon Wish there were brothers out there who could play!!! I heard that record companies found that funk bands were unfashionable because of HIP HOP. I love HIP HOP old school and new. I wish there was a way to balance the new and the old. BTW you forgot about The Time,Bar Kays,Lakeside,Heatwave,Slave,B­rass Construction,Skyy,Midnight Star,Starpoint. Wish we could bring it all back. I am a Funk Head and a Hip Hop head. I embrace them both.

[blueneon]

@DE712 wow, how could i forget those great bands... miss The Time. You mention some hot bands man. well maybe one day it'll all come back again. I read some stupid article saying that the saxophone is "fashionable" in pop music again....WTF?! WILL THE REAL MUSICIANS PLEASE COME BACK!!

[DE712]

@blueneon Like I said I embrace them both. I remember a time when there were different styles of R&B and Hip Hop now everything almost sounds the same. Is it just me or are Radio Stations and Record Companies designed to be retarded?

[Darinw40]

@DE712 what about the Dazz and the Gap bands?..

[DE712]

@Darinw40 That slipped my mind!!!!

[719kai719]

@DE712 love all those bands also:) Good music!

[FrankyDaFreak]

@DE712

I remember them all..man, what a collections of great bands..

[hsriner1984]

[mcmaniac1000]

@MegaMrbass ...mannnnnn.......I always loved their musical craftsmanship. Good luck getting a group of brothers together to do r&b/funk and they actually PLAY their own instruments.
