[MsL0vie]

I just happened to think of a verse in this song-a warm day in december- hit it up.

[ANCOATSRED]

Funny how so many of us have been after finding this again. Used to be a proper floor filler in Kicks in Manchester England in the 80's. Gotta be honest it doesn't sound as good as I remember it then again I am 23 years older :(

[oldschoolbx1970]

My glory days as a teenager. That was back when everything was authentic and the whole nine.

[VisionRealty1]

I've been looking for this song since I left college back in the early 90's! Wow...thanks for the upload!

[ladylyric1000]

Thanks for this post...OMG this was me & my cousin's song!!! Loved this song back in the day!!!

[caymanhotgal]

I love this songs. Takes me back to some really good times!!

[mrs4u2envy]

this song was all that back in the day. A favorite at the skating rink; the days of tight jeans and lip gloss.

[TheBlackyrican]

I must have been 8 or 9 but always one of my favorite songs EVER!!

[maxibaby72]

Choooooon! Thank you!

[vedas8922]

WOW this song brings back so many memories! Virginia State University Foster Hall Student Union Back Lawn Socials 1986.

[TrojanState]

@vedas8922 @vedas8922 OMG...STATE I remember those Back Lawn's. I didn't go there, I was just a kid then, my mom has worked there for for 25 years and she used to let me go to the back lawns. Crazy times and I was just a kid hanging with the college students. A lot of mention of NYC on this one. NYC had and still has a huge precense at State.

[tlover1062]

hey tilt!!!!! thanks for this one, baby!!!! DC constantly rocked to this one. there was a dj who always mixed this cut with Sybil's "Don't Make Me Over". couldn't keep em off the floor. thanks again.

[doubleolove]

This was the jam back on NY Radio in early '87. Thanks for posting!

[BAYBEKDL]

[CharlieTeeRoc]

[Rtorresc4v]

I have been looking for this for so long, thanks. Imeem has it for download. I was like 5, getting down in a wedding with girls twice my age...lol

[MzKinyatta]

loved this song

[JUNGLEJUSTICE9mm]

whatever happened to this singer. i think i rem this song from 87??

[Rtorresc4v]

@JUNGLEJUSTICE9mm - 83 or 84

[garnetjewel]

I think this singer performed the lead role in an off-broadway play called "Mama I want to sing." When she goes "my my my my love" it sounds a lot like when the actress sang "mama mama" in the play. That actress could hit some incredible notes also. Anyone have any info?

[VirgoLuv73]

OOOOHHHH MYYYYYY GOOOSSSSSHHHH!!!!!! I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR YEEEAAARRSSSS! THANK YOU...I'm soo excited. I love YouTube!!

[heisbais]

What a floor filler back in the day! Sunday nights at the Blue Bell in Chadderton near Manchester. DJ Mike Shaft used to play this one every week! Great memories. One school of thought indicates that it was on the album 'Street Sounds 19,' various artists.Not sure if you can still buy it though.

[neilano]

thank you sooo much.been lookin 4 a while. manchester uk.

[ponytailpulla]

i wish she made a video of this,i saw her on tv one time...she was beautiful

[DaisyVanHalen]

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO FIND THIS? Been looking for it for YEARS! So FIERCE!!!

[jomel743]

This is what i call Vocal Skillz..... I was 14 years old in 1987 when i first heard this song.... and today it is still my favourite!!!

[kentgrant]

This tune came out of nowhere and packed the dancefloor for around 5 years straight.

[Rudegirl66]

I've got this on 12" but no record player so I haven't heard it in ages. The riffs she does starting from 4:06 is the best part of the song

[albwild]

Palladium after work Wednesdays.

[reddvelvet]

@albwild that's wassup. Palladium on 14th Street...only in New York!!!

[coverdale20]

Had this on a 45. The 45 is long gone, but the memories are not...! Whoa... you brought me back...!!!

[invisigoat]

I can't find this song anywhere. Most people don't even know who she is..............so talented too. It makes you think about how many undiscovered Michael Jacksons and Prince's out there.

[basslabmechanic87]

I met Octavia in 1987. She was so beautiful. I must have been about 17 years old at the time. A promoter I knew brought her to check out a tallent show my manager put on.

[srs1964cancer]

Just kidding about the table tops lol !

[ponytailpulla]

funny

[srs1964cancer]

This song was going to be in my wedding ! We were going to march down the isle to this song ! At that time this was me and my girls favorite song ! Now i am gay and i am dancing on table tops to it !

[OctaviaRodriguez93]

i been lookin for this evr where i was named after her

[heelsfantim]

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!! GREAT DANCE SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for posting it!!

[Badboyzunleashed]

Class Of 1986 In The Sping Time I Was Living In The Bronx, New York At The Time And New York Radio Station Like 107.5 WBLS & 98.7 Kiss FM Would Play This Jam On Friday's & Saturday Nights This Jam Takes Me Way Back When New York Jammin' Back & It Still IS Jammin To This Day

Peace & Love NY 4EVER

[oldschoolbx1970]

@Badboyzunleashed I was attending James Monore near Bronx River Houses when this joint came out during the middle of my freshman year. What high school did you attend when this came out?

[516azizah]

@oldschoolbx1970 John Bowne HS Flushing, NY

[oldschoolbx1970]

@516azizah Thanks. I enjoy making friends with oldschoolers. Especially with certain youngsters born generations after us.

[516azizah]

@Badboyzunleashed Sure u right.

[LOLLIPAPA]

dance floor killer. skating rink would erupt when this came on

[lorettab77]

When I was a little girl my older brother's best friend was a DJ and he would mix this song with a cut by Doug E Fresh (the one about him taking the train somewhere in New York)...

Great Addition to Youtube

[reddvelvet]

@lorettab77 Doug E Fresh..."The Show"

[shaunkelly1967]

I guess this was aound 1987 - 88, i was about 21years old, it was the best song around at that time by some distance i loved it ......then the stone roses entered my life.... mancunian poetry, "a girl consumed by fire we all know her desire" this is the one changed the world

[bigskells]

Remember her doing an autograph signing at Howard in the late 80s. She had all the fellas standing in line!!

[musclenoirnc]

LOL!!! Great Hall.. But it took NCCU to turn those parties out.. great hall was the shit!! We all had a ball back it the day..

[badkitty1969]

OMG! Been looking for this forever!!! This was the jammy-jam back in college.

[garnetjewel]

OMG!!! This was my SONG!!!! Got my shy behind onto the dancefloor waaaaay back in college. Guaranteed to elevate my mood. Hard to find. So happy you put it out there. Might need to hear it everyday. Thanks!!!!!!

[naomiafia]

This track would pack the dance floor back in the day, wicked tuuuuuune!!

[srs1964cancer]

This club jam really takes me back to very good times!! This song really brought heads to the dance floor! Been looking for this song for a long time. Thank you so much for putting this up! Love it!!! Takes me back !

[speakyatruth]

Octavia had the floor jammed... always had the same effect in my parties.

(From a fellow '91 howell hall refugee)... Peace from east side to the west side!!
