  • Thank you for uploading. Oh yes, I join the "memories" of all the other comments here. What a great music culture back in the days. Fantastic sound systems and DJs with a great selection of creative music, music made by musicians and not machines like today. We enjoyed the music and we were really in heaven. It was the best time in my life. I could cry out my soul hearing tunes like this.

  • @williedjmusicfactory

    an unlikely story!

  • Comment removed

  • This song is bad!

  • Driving in NYC heading out to the clubs in the early 80's and listening to this. Thinking about the girls that we would run into that night. Priceless. Hello Gladys from Brooklyn. How can i ever forget you

  • Larry Levan was a beast when ti came to mixes!

  • killer.

  • one of the first records i ever bought!

  • Everyone has different memories of the time and place where they enjoyed this great tune by Jimmy Ross. All of them wonderful and in many different places the world over. This reminds me of the Paradise Garage, 1980 if I'm correct. It was a while ago but what a great place and time in history IMO. The atmosphere was soo special and it cannot be reproduced ever. They went too fast.

  • SOUNDS LIKE EURO FUNK- EVERYBODY'S DANCING

  • One of my co-workers, a friend of her's and I went on a date one Friday night after work, in the summer of 1981, to club "Justines." It was my first time hearing this song and it was hot from the get-go. DJ Reggie Wells, was playing it at club "Justines" in New York City, through-out the night. My co-worker and I danced all night. Oh yeah. What a wonderful evening. Bronx, New York City.

    DJ Kellzo

  • Yes! The Skate Key in the Boogie Down Bronx and the Milky Way!

    Joe BINGO

  • when I hear this song it brings me back to rollerskating at the Riverdale Skating Rink , Bronx New York on the summer of 1980. Wow ! unforgatable days at the age of 22.

  • Rádio Cidade - 102,9 MHz - Rio de janeiro - 1981 - Que saudade! Grande música que agitava geral. valeu Jimmy Ross - Kazinho

  • Wow, I'm flashing back to the Warehouse and Powerplant, Frankie Knuckles spinning the cuts! Chi-Town forever!

  • i almost gave up, buit at 1:23, i knew i heard it before. and liked it, if memory serves me. it's a nice tune.

  • THIS WAS HOT!!! I so remember this track!

  • Hi all,

    I'm still surprised that when I visit this video the comments keep on comming. It realy amuses me to see that even though the song came out in the 80s, people still listen to his music and most of all enjoy it.

    I'm glad he left his "mark" on all of you, because he sure did on me.

    So, all I can say is ... enjoy his music and I appreciate all the nice comments!

    Thank you sincerely, and see you guys later ;)

    Greatz, Clement

  • Wow!!! came across this classic surfing for other classic disco songs.. It brought me goose pimples just listening to it... took me way back...

  • Another REAL classix

  • Another example of a NY producer making the singer. In this case Larry Levan of the Paradise Garage, and the city that brought you house, rap, hip hop, electro, etc.

  • I think he's coming out with a greatest hits Album ....

    Awesome stuff ...

  • I think he's coming out with a greatest hits Album ....

  • chune

  • You're from the Chi! Cool! Yeah, I love this song!!! Thanks for posting it! Jimmy Ross was the shxt!!!!

  • Oh yeah......I can remember sitting on my stoop in Brooklyn as a 10 year old with a boombox playing this on cassette. I always thought it was some New York disco outfit because it was such an urban sounding regional smash hit but found out later that it was written and produced in Italy by a couple of Italians who listened to a little too much Chic.

  • the mix of kyboards is amazing

  • THIS SONG HAS SUCH A UNIQUE EFFECT TO IT...IT TOTALLY SEPARATED ITSELF FROM EVERYTHING THAT WAS OUT AROUND THE TIME THIS SONG WAS RELEASE.... BASS....GUITAR.....SYNTH.... PICK ONE, TWO,OR ALL THREE =GUMBO FUNK....!!!!!!

  • sampled by tiger & woods - deflowered

  • Good song,it's all.

  • Comment removed

  • Just the best.

  • say what?

  • Still Got It Brand New Unopen I Wonder How Much It Worth ? Great Gem I Love It. 10 Stars Song **********

  • I can´t stop listening to it, it´s a kinda daily energy injection I need to feel sure of myself and face a new day.

  • Flawless...I wish I was old enough to experience tunes like this in a club back then. I think I was still break-dancing at school then!

    I like the way you stuck London's Camden Town tube station on the vid

  • great feel-good music a major

    

  • @bruceleroyjones1 This is one of them songs you gotta blast, you cant listen to it no other way.I got a feelin Nile Rodgers had something to do with this joint Am I right anybody?

  • @mookeychase0907 no, he had nothing to do with it. it was entirely written and recorded in Milan, Italy. Writer and keyboard player is Stefano Pulga of Kano, bass by Dino D'Autorio.

  • @downjones72 Yeah I looked at the record afterwar4d and I saw all the cats who put this thing together...

  • @downjones72 Italian maybe, but clearly intended for that NYC vibe, just like Change and other groups.

  • I remember misplacing this record (someone stole it) and I went to Vinyl Mania in the village to replace it...(Hopefully) And when I asked Manny Lehman if he had this record he replied "why would you want to buy such a sad song" WHAT? IT IS A CLASSIC!!!! none the less he did not have a copy.....so I never replaced it....Thank you Mr. Youtube....ha ha

  • yes yes yes !!!

  • Manny Lehman Told me why I would purchase such a sad song....That was in Vinyl Mania a long time ago

  • I still hear this music in my Ipod during my workout....its fantastic!!!still a big shot!!!

  • Where can I find the lyrics?

  • I have the lyrics. Send me an email and I will send to you. Deal ?

  • It was a great song in Brazil. I remember I was 13 or so and I used to dance a lot listening to this song.

  • Hi all, it's Clement again. Sorry that I answer so late :s

    The man on the cover is indeed my father. It was in the "80's so I think he was around the age of 46.

    He hasn't brought out an autobio but I'd like to write one myself.

    I have definatly heard of some of those songs he has recorded with Ladbroke.

    To Baptone, It's good to know people still listen to his music, I hope he can keep on entertaining you

  • the year was 1981. I purchased it on 10.31.81

  • So do I Lol This song is so groovy and also it has a sound of its own and well put together with the vocals perfectly well placed I get the goose bumps all the time since i went to high school when this classic exploded on the radio as well as the clubs. The arrangement is so well done after hearing it again it just gets better like wine and good grass Lol.

  • banging!!!!

  • fantastico sound!

  • Flott!

    Just great!!

  • is this garage music? =S

  • This really takes me back. I'm now in my early 40's I remember hearing this on the radio (WBLS) while getting ready for school in the morning. The beat is sick. I love this track.

  • @4U2NVB That's my memory of it...JHS for the first time...too young for the clubs just yet...

  • @4U2NVB I'm in my early 40's too, and I remember this on the mix, not getting ready for school, but when me and my family used to play WBLS weekend mix-I forgot who used to be the dj then just before the Mr. Magic days on BLS. You are right! The beat is SICK! This is a timeless song!

  • @LordShabazz  Maybe "The Cool Chief Rocker..........Frankie Crocker!"

  • @4U2NVB I was turned to a lot of these tracks thru bls myself.

  • @4U2NVB Me To Still Feel This Song...I Expect To Hear Frankie Crocker @ Anytime...If Frankie Crocker isn't On Your Radio Then Your Radio Isn't Really On...

    Frankie Crockers In the House He Can Get two Pieces...LOL

  • @4U2NVB yeah Im from Paterson and I too am in my early 40's , WBLS was my shot first thing.. Memories..............

  • hi, clement. listening to this song over and over again makes me stay alive. Grateful to your dad and his incredible rhythm song

  • at 17 i heard this song first time, knew no name or singer. now i´m 48 and spent half my life trying to find or hear it again. thanks to the internet, got it just remembering "1st true love affair"

  • What CAN'T you mix this song with? If your ass can't get off the wall to this, hit the bricks!!!!

  • i was 20 when this came out

  • Always liked this song; it reminds me of Kano ("I'm Ready") and early Change. Was this recorded in Italy, by any chance?
