[bluekrypton1]

This was my love hearin it at the clubs. I went and found it and Your Love long version. Wish I still had it. Thanks for having it.

[djmusicjac]

I fell in love with this tune, one of my favourite chicago disco house. I would love this awesome tune to be remixed with lots beats. Remix to the death, with rumba beat, salsa beat, tango beat, sioux beat, apache beat, cherokee beat.

[HotMilkHouseOrDie]

Loved this since the day I heard it and will never tire of it

[djswerv07]

My favorite record ever made too!!!!!! Thanks for posting! Jamie Principle is a genius for this! Greetings from DJ Swerv, Brighton Park Chicago Forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

has a similar bassline to Den Harrow's "To Meet Me". Did anyone else notice this?

[dougflump]

lovely, not heard this before, but for it's time, it's great :0)

[ladybrown75]

This is one of my fav's. We used to stay outside late with our radios on the front porch listening to WBMX....it always made my night to hear this.

[jericho4004]

@ladybrown75 You just described the exact thing me and my boys use to do in the Summer of `85! We had our little one speaker, one tape deck box on the porch and just chilled...until my mom yelled for me to get in the house. lol

[quethetee]

Flashback, me a young teen, driven to synth heaven on the wings of this heavenly track. One of my fav from the classic house era.

[deepdeep46]

soooooo ahead of its time its scary!

[djmusicjac]

JAMIE PRINCIPLE deserves a GOLD MUSIC OSCAR for this tune, wiating for my angel, the most beautiful song i have ever heard

[djmusicjac]

i love this song so very, very, very much, it is the most beautiful, amazing, wonderful tune every made in 80s chicago disco house music, when i close my eyes i can see angels and what heavan is like, amazing

[bonecrusher307]

This was the jam the Dj's play when it got light on the dance floor to bring it back up.

[BRedD1969]

OMG... this is the *hit.... lol I haven't heard this in quite some time... Thanks for taking me back there...

[PAYBACKiszaB2]

The was one of my Favorite songs of all time by them. I had no idea who they were back then and I loved hearing this track on WBMX radio and WGCI!!!! i was not even born in Chicago but loved this music so much!

[peaches875]

I love my hometown Chicago, there's nothing like house music.

[houseofjrk]

[felicia5337]

buffy,

I'm feeling it all over again, take me back.

[laulususi]

this is classy , nice sound

[joelleis]

FUNNY! It does sound like David Bowie!!!! Never thought about it....

[rays130226]

I did no think of that one. It sounds just like him.

[vRotation]

SUPER !!!!!!!

[TheNOBClan]

sort your bloody deck level out sonny jim

[jericho4004]

Farley Jackmaster Funk used to spin this track all the time. I haven't heard this in years!

[CharlieSmigz]

Great tune, an emotional slice of early deep house that you can listen to in any mental state - E'd up or straight.

[EFKA526]

definitely some major UK and New Wave influence in this track. But perhaps that is why I really like Principles work. There is a lot of House out there, especially nowadays, that is just crap. But this is beautiful electronic music. This dude made some serious tunes in those days with a good sense for the right drum tracks and synthesizer lines.

[vRotation]

SUPER !!!

[CookyMonzta]

I remember WRKS 98.7 'Kiss' FM in NYC playing this once or twice in their late-night (Friday or Saturday) mastermixes.

[CookyMonzta]

For those who don't know jack about house, they'd probably swear this was a David Bowie record.

[bifftv1975]

This sounds very British.You can certainly hear New order and human league in this track.Just goes to show even though nostalgic programs make jamie out to be some kind of visionary,nobody can escape influence and that goes for everyone in music.Good track though

[shjtyu]

You mean like all the british artists were influenced by the motown sound?

[EFKA526]

More from english northern soul, but that is definitely motown influenced :D Well electronic music is global. Soul came from the US into the UK and formed british Northern Soul. This also influenced punk and postpunk and from that New Wave/New Romantic synthesizer music which influenced a very talented black kid in chicago. Something like that. Music conquers borders, classes, colours, religions. So bifftv1975 is totally right. And the sound is definitely very brit New Romantic/New Wavy.

[SunRaOo]

DjUzZ :)

[1Skorpia]

hOT DAMN what a great day-im literally in bed with the headphones on throwing it on full blast like when I was kid. bring out the boomboxes and break dance on cardboard boxes flattened and held together by duct tape..SOUTHSIDE CHITOWN FOREVER!

Into the wayback...

[dbadassboy]

I was terminal in 1993, no chance of recovery.

Wells Fargo did not think I would live long enough to tell the story.

They are still churning the profits no reason not to settle.

[vidal2jz]

[mhaceil]

truely divine...thanks for this martin!!!!

[disman00911]

great song!

[themikealike]

This is MikeAlike( buy my record "Model Male")- real curious why people like Jamie and Steve Silk who crafted and molded a sound (it evolved) which is close to what now is mainstream(listen to "Circus" Brittney Spears)- why you all are still gone? Whose your busines managers- they suck.

There should be compilation mixes of Pop sellouts (Brittney/Rihanna) and needs be Jamie mixed in and sold to masses of people. Step up Please.

[ricogates]

Steve Hurley is a world famous producer and remixer. He is an industry heavy-weight. Jamie had his own issues, more an artist than a business person. But many of the house DJs and producers from that era have become very successful music producers and highly sought after remixers, here and abroad.

[themikealike]

I'm Chicago born/raised- my second 12"from Rolling Stone Records:"Waiting On My Angel" my producers range from Mystic Bill ("Jungle Line"); Sonic Groove's Dan Physics. My point 2 the last post is, music is/has become washed out and the personalities selling the commerical product now are bland in comparison- 2 give mass culture real inspiration/correct respect, its wise 2 teach a lesson..using superstars who think they R onto something "new" is the way - PLUS Jamie need b revered.

[pomomatthew]

this song seriously never gets old. it's one of the finest dance songs ever.

[totopatter]

this had a very electro feel to it

[greedygretch]

dkasmooth so true, so true, when I hear this it takes me back to HS c/o 87!!

[Punch2025]

Bra you came out with "Mendel"! I used to get there with my guys and as soon as we paid and that song came on, we'd be running in the gym to find someone to dance with on the downstairs checkered floor...LOL I remember those days and listening to the song now takes me right back to when it was all good in the city. Cats were still knucklin up. You were the shit if you had this song on a cassette tape...LOL

[dkasmooth]

I remember waiting for Frankie Knuckles to play this at the PowerPlant in '85 or so.  This was one of the quintessential house songs...one of the 3 (in my opinion) original house songs. As a DJ at the time, these were the songs we played at Mendel that helped move the crowd from the garage sound into the House Music era.

Dave Allen

[TensegrityEnergy]

Dave I agree. Curious to see what the other songs are/were, Life All played out?
