[NEXPAR]

5 people ain't got their minds made up!

[NEXPAR]

Darn, it's not it. I thought this version may have been the one they used to play on the radio where it starts out with the LP version and then cuts into this version just before they sang "You got me groovin', just keep on movin'...." I used to have that version on 12" as well as the one with the 9:46/7:11 versions. The special version was about 9:35. As for people who keep bitching about today's music. Dad used to say they did not sing anything in this song except the chorus.

[Lovedisco1963]

Love this jam! They don't make music like this anymore. So blessed I was a teenager when this song came out. Till this day 2012, I still listen to this. Not crummy music they play nowadays.

Love my generation. Very blessed!!

[VideoMusicManiac]

Stupid spell checher and bad tying "but have" to "must have". lol

[VideoMusicManiac]

I love this song but it is to dry! I need me some Larry drop in's. This is just not the way it was in the club guys. This song in particular is a framework to add stuff. This is the song that could put to use all 3 turntables.

So let's see some one pull out an old tape and post it. Someone out in NYC but have a bootleg Larry Levan mix tape! Post IT!!!!

[tempts2000]

You Can say what you want about disco but they still played real Instrument and in some cases had orchestra I wish they would get together and have a mew millinium rap cd burning how bout that!!!!!!

[Fruitgum50]

wow wow wow - many a good night in the clubs dancin to this choon - must dig out me old 12 inchers !!

[kja427]

I wish there was a decent live performance of this tune from 1979; I would have been able to see this Disco act in their true element. Oh well, at least we've got this.

[vfreeck]

@kja427 On YouTube, search for "MRGSAVAS Instant Funk - I Got My Mind Made Up", you'll at least find a partial live performance of this song.

[RayL1983]

I always wondered how disco could have ever ended and then you hear all of the bad no-sincerity songs on YouTube it is a real education. You see why it would have been such a relief to see all the crap acts moved on in the early 80s.

[noreg1962]

proper funk-as it should be

[SHARLEE1962]

get your skates on!!!

[studionous]

Gli Instant Funk erano una band statunitense di musica funk e soul attiva tra gli anni settanta e ottanta

[RAS4915]

99.9% of todays music can not compare to this. Classic funk served up hot.

[njplr]

This was all over the airways and dance floors of the NY/Jersey/Philly area in 79. Just one of the many gems released in that precious, short heyday. The fun we had then was on a scale simply incomprehensible to kids today. And it was music like this that drove it all. King & Varick Forever.

[easymoney4ever]

@njplr that scale of fun you talk about must have been all the coke we were snorting. lol We sure did live for the weekend.

[MrSexxxy20]

" I got my mind made up" This has been one of my faves every since my parents used to play this back when I was a kid in the 90's.

[Jgeneraledger23]

@MrSexxxy20  your parents used to play this back in the '90s? It came out waaaay before that, lol

[MrSexxxy20]

@Jgeneraledger23 I know but they still played it then when I was little. All my parents played was this stuff.

[Jgeneraledger23]

@MrSexxxy20 I remember when I was little this song was actually new, and on the radio. It was wierd though, I didn't hear it ONCE in thirty years(did I just say that?) Last summer I contacted a local radio show to ask the DJ what the name of the song was cuz I had no idea! The part that always stuck out in my mind was that girl saying "SAAAY WHAAAT..." Love that part lol

[MrSexxxy20]

@Jgeneraledger23 LOL sigh...nostalgic times.

[ladycat629]

@Jgeneraledger23 Oh Yeah, I remember when this came out but I didn't realize it was '79......I was 19 and I remember jammin to this HARD....This was the Jam...This song had came up in my mind today at work and I just typed in the name of the song. I had forgotten the group's name. Now I'm just gonna jam till quittin time!

[Jgeneraledger23]

@ladycat629 That's the way to do it!

[ayhanbirol1907]

Raymond Earl (bass) Scotty Miller (drums) and Kim Miller (guitar). They later expanded to include: Dennis Richardson (keyboards) James Carmichael (lead vocals) Larry Davis (horns) Eric Huff (horns) Johnny Onderlinde (horns) George Bell and Charles Williams (percussion)

[tamerelaputejelafuck]

@ayhanbirol1907

Yep ! That's correct ... they started as a trio (only on the 1976 album "Get Down With The Philly Jump" , their debut album) , but as soon as they made their second album,in 1978 ("Instant Funk") they became a 9 piece group, including trombonists, trumpet and sax players,as well as drummers,percussionists,keyboa­rdist, guitarists and bassist ...However, the group kept on changing members during it's carrer ... They were far too much underrated, in my opinion; and not promoted

[RobbDelman]

No description available ???

I don't THINK so !
