[TheKenington]

Too good!  Wow

[Loumademe]

One of the tightest jams from the 80s. Thanks.

[simplyred28]

Thank you, Star 94.5, for introducing me to music I've never heard before. I may be white, but I have lots of soul.

[simplyred28]

Thank you, Billy.

[yaboishanesabloker]

MAM and Soul Clap DID SOME JUSTICE!!!!! WOOOO

[mysterymediacorp]

this ain't a song this is a JAM ! lol

[2godbetheglory]

Hit the dance floor, I luvvvvvv It! This has always been one of my favorite Billy Ocean songs.

[Jacbill63]

This was the jam way back in the day! It's kind of strange that until 3 years later mainstream radio listeners recognized his talent with the cut "Caribbean Queen", because this song SMOKED dance floors at every party I went to in 1981 and I think this was one of his best he ever unveiled. Weird how it never really took off in Top 40 radio?

[IsaAmonRa]

@Jacbill63 True dat Jac! Those of us who recognize good music understood how funky this song was. I remember when I found out this was Billy Ocean! :-) R&B radio played da hell out of dis song! And yes, this was his best song! Way better than Caribbean Queen!

[katbatty]

Ahhhh... One of the really great ones !!

This is a really great tune!

[tanyatmr]

Whenever I hear this song it reminds me of my last year in Meyer Levin J.H.S. and when I moved from brooklyn to long island!

[mothergoosey]

One person gets down alone.

[TheAndre396]

a classic i was 9 when this came out back in the day

[Djrealign]

classic material and it seems a couple of other songs were inspired by the rhythm of this track! inspire each other and continue to inspire each other!

[USAisAntiWhite]

Keep it up with the "Boogie Man" so that the public will be happy when government takes away our rights! Enough of this nonsense. Other countries have dealt with terrorism for years yet they don't act like scared monkies like the US and NYC do.

[TheWorld318]

makes ya wanna fix a nice glass of crown royal and have a blast

[doctafonk101]

THIS IS AN UNDERRATED CLASSIC!

[mikescorpio1108]

Can you imagine how much better the 80s would've been if we weren't always worried about nuclear war back then?

[raychapa01]

This was a main groove in that time, raychapa01.

[soniajack68]

Bomb Billy Ocean Song !

[sekhmetbastet]

This is my fave Billy Ocean Song.

[MrMunchee1]

BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS ONE THANKS DONT SLEEP ON THIS GENIUS.

[CaptainCreature]

I think he made either 1 or 2 albums ever, I'm not sure. I do know he didn't make as much songs as other people did.

[celticsdude]

Does anyone notice how Billy Ocean looks like Chris Rock LOL?!

[ESSENCEOFEACHTHING]

This is a very slick/tough disco groove.

[kdemonde]

This track was on fire in New York City on the radio WBLS, KISS FM, ! 92 KTU !!

[port2344chester]

@kdemonde AInt that the truth... we all jammed BIG TIME to this joint...ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS YA FEEL LIKE GETTIN DOWN.. NYC BABY! Life was so easier back then.. music life ingeneral held more substance..less drama IMO! NYC.. we will never witness such GR8NESS ever again!Port

[kdemonde]

@port2344chester I absolutely agree Port! back then all we had were cassettes and the radio, winter was cold as hell and the summer was hot hot hot! Less population in NYC! less complications in NYC! Listening to alot of up-tempo music during the day and then "The Quiet Storm" and "Kissing After Dark" at night.. Yvonne Mobley!! and Von Harper! and can't forget Champagne! LOL! we can't go back but we will both have and share the memories! Thanks... K

[John22133]

@kdemonde YESS!! my 48 year old self remembers it well !! Wow, Yvonne Mobley..she was awesome..I WANNA go back!

[sz42781]

My aunt used to work out to this song when I was 5 years old. I just found it again.Remixed this would make a "SICK modern NY house track"

[Krazy3912]

This is THE best song that I'd listened to coming from Billy Ocean back in the very early spring of 1981.

[198303221]

All of the younger generation, this is the kind of music we were use to listening to, when the musical artist was were musicians, therefore being very creative. That's what you have to get back to in order to compete. Learn how to make real music once again, and people will start to buy your music young and old. Premiere Entertainment LLC President/CEO.

Time Tunnel me back to 1970's and step in a grove and put out this fire. I will head to the city lights. Because it would be one them nights you feel like getting down without the rap and idiots of today. Germany, Panama kids wouldn't understand. The Love we have Internationally.
