The song was on my mind tonight...(go figure) so, I put a keyword into a search and found it!!!! I love this song! Through other posts I see that this songstress has passed. Good job, Gwen! You blessed me with this song and now it's in my FAV's for keeps. Holla.

  • This song was so hot back in the day,the dance floor stayed crowded on this and my girl loved to dance and use to make me dance and problem is, i can't dance. I knew people were laughing at me but so what i still had fun. I may be blk but i was born without any natural rythm.

  • Gwen was the best. We loved all of her tracks in Detroit and would dance the night away while her voice was blaring thru the bass cells... RIP Gwen. Your music lives forever...

  • One of my all time favorites

  • Gwen Guthrie sang with a smile in her voice and loads of soul. Glad she was able to have so many albums for 1 not a household name but for the hit 'Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But The Rent', an anthem if ever there was 1. It could be used today, for the self-centric nature of the 21st century so far. She could SANG, played, arranged, and 1 of the few women producers at the time. RIP Gwen. Mega Talent! : )

  • Awesome song, this came out when I was in 8th grade going into my freshman year of HS way back in 1985 when life was awesome, LOL, now I am old 40, LOL.

Gwen would sometimes double park outside of Club 88 in her big Benz and chat with Club 88 staff or whomever said hello... she was so personal.... and laid-back... Thank you sister Gwen... b..

  • this is pure Gallery, East houston and Mercer, east village early 70's...thankyou nicky for these memories

  • This is so very Stark Club Dallas 1985!

  • Yes, the music and the feeling that came with this music during our era. It is lost and never can be repeated. This brings back so many memories of the clothes the dances .

    MEMORIES

  • I remember this song and workin for Kentucky Fried Chicken baking biscuits and making cole slaw, lol.

  • YO HOLD UP!!!! I need to my hand stamped. Hold my cup. I'm going outside to get something to eat. The fruits are all finish...... Memba

  • sexyretardedsexy, has a brain deficit ... Britney will never measure up to Gwen Guthrie, vocally. You see, Gwen could SING, & Britney just entertains. Dated or not, old school is the reason that she is popular. Even Madonna had to give it up to the music scene of Yesteryear.

    It's not easy to hear,however, Britney is a tabloid, when singers used to be loved for their TALENT instead of what they wear, who they sleep with, & what drugs they are on.

  • @schildno5 You are retarded dick burger, I can't stand that bitch and her pathetic music. IT WAS A JOKE!!!!!!! FUCK ME drunk!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @sexyrexysexy LOL I'm not retarded. You said it not me. Then why say it then, that Gwen's music is dated crap? Britney doesn't sound better than Gwen. That was funny about Madonna.

  • @schildno5 I'm joking tiger xx It must be the Ausralian sense of humour.. Gwen is an absolute gun of a vocalist. Britney is the other exreme (SHITHOUSE) xx

  • @sexyrexysexy don't worry about it. Tigers are cool ^_^

  • @schildno5 Roar like a tiger!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @schildno5 It is not dated at all. Gwen shits over half the artists (or hookers) anyday. Their music sounds dated after a few years, this is classic. OMG What am I dealing with!!!!!!! Madonna is a worn out old Italian grandmother, she reminds me of sophia from 'the golder girls,' but in tights......

  • What's Paradise Garage...? Was it a garage sale??

  • @sexyrexysexy

    I feel bad for you. Paradise Garage was a LEGENDARY club in NYC. You had to be a member to get in and membership only became available once a year and the lines were stoooopid long. Gwen, Madonna and countless other performed there along with LENGENDARY DJ's...days looong gone

  • @DirkNader I think there were some better artists than Madonna there I hate to say!!! I am right.. YOU are wrong!!!!!

  • You guys are all fucked... Have you not listened to Britney Spears? Shits over this dated CRAP!!!!!!!!!!

  • @sexyrexysexy ....Lololol......Your funny Sexy.......Britney Spears ...lolololol....

  • R.I.P. Gwen. We sure miss ya baby !!

  • It's 8:05 a.m.sunday morning at the garage and Larry drops this one...danm that was some good mesculine(lol).
