what an intro ! what a tune takes me back to Franklyns lounge Bellshill Scotland The DJ in that place was well fit great voice and played some of the best music of my youthful years he pioneered a lot of great tunes before any other Djs ... Hence the name Seansangels ..I know his name was Sean ( believe we got called this as we used to congragate by his DJ booth) anyone now if hes still a DJ wink wink ! Gooooood Times never forgotten !
The ONLY place I ever heard this played was at The Catacombs in Philly, where David Todd (Philly's High Priest of Dance) used to WORK this song, he had that that dance floor CUTTING UP to this, and believe me, there were some serious dancers at that club. FABULOUS record, thank you for posting. Oh, for just one last Friday night in 1981 at that club...
Intro to all sounds of late 20th and beginning of 21st century. Norman Whitfield was a truly genius. Not only big but the strongest respect to one and only.
Still love playing this out... those delibertaely off-key train bells, that driving bassline, hissing hi-hats and that classic Disco 'whoo's' - tears the roof off everytime. Just watch the giant smiles populate on the dancefloor

And what about the Nytro Express? Same song, but you had to get on the Nytro Express instead of the Boogie Express.
Whitfield = Genius

It's funky, but this type of sound was out in the crossover-concious early 80s.
