What did I ever do to deserve listening to crap on the radio and my school dances? today's music lost it's original meaning seriously, rap should have never of gone mainstream, raps isn't music it's druggie shit
This is another classic song from the 80's, "This is for you" that doesn't get any credit...Usually for people who remember the group "The System" only two songs come up: Don't Disturb this Groove" and "You are in my System"...but this one here is a true classic...The 80's was the best.
Such an awesome song !!! This video is so cool !!!! Great memories of the mid 80s. It makes me wish I could jump right into this video and be part of it !! Thanks for posting !!!
I was about 20 then. All those memories! At that time this was one of those songs that could make you dream away. At that time your whole life still ahead! Simply awesome composition!!
great track from a great era, so sad we wont have that time again! sadder still to see what state the music industry has become now, thank god for youtube so we ca relive the great times!!!!
So right agree with you all, the haircuts the synths the clothes, yep Im the only one I know that dresses that way today, Its as if the 80s isnt in the minds of people of today, Im talking people over 40, I think the you guys stateside have always been ahead of us Brits, i wish I could visit the states as I could hook up with some people on my wavelength.
I love this song----why can't I find this on any MP3 downloads. If anyone knows where I can purchase this download, please let me know. This song is timeless.
Heard this first time in the radio about an year ago. I think this is my favourite song ever, I was born in '85, almost feels like going back to the womb.
Wow... so nostalgic. just listening to the sounds of this music brings back so many memories and feelings of pure innocence and the freedom of not knowing what i didn't know - music and my childhood was the best! Thanks for sharing this!
yes they did. Jeff Lorber's 1985 album "Step by Step" was produced in collaboration with The System. Listen to the song "Best part of the night" and you'll be jamming to David Frank's synthesizers and Jeff's keyboard.
@upurs007 That video was by The Jesse Johnson Revue (ft. Sly Stone) - "Crazay". BIG R&B hit around that time, that also crossed over onto the Pop Charts.
Put together so well. Wow. Miss the 80's. Never will be music like it again in this life time We really were so lucky to have all of them in our lives back them, They gave us Great music, Great voices and really nice memories, so pretty. Thanx. x.o
@mystictraveler17 Definetly!!!!!!! MUIC like this will NEVER!!! BE re-created,simply because the groups ,bands of today lack talent&imagination,just listening to this again after a long time makes the hairs on my neck stand up,goosebumps are appearing aswell....Oh well,as you so well put,we just have to savour wonderful memories,of GOOD TIMES AND MUSIC GONE BY.....
@oldrbest -I totally agree with with brah. i'm 44 and i grew up on true r&b,funk,soul, & 80's hip-hop. music back then had so much more talent,substance,creativity,passion,love, and a damn meaning. with the exception of a few artist today, music is watered down,meaningless, me,me,me, my,my,my bullshit. it's all about big asses,pretty faces,half naked babes,cats sagging with no shirts on,grabbing their dicks, ect. no damn talent at all, just image. thank god for the 70's,80, early 90's.
@str8outtatexas1 I am 43 years of age myself and totally relate to your comments-I graduated from High School in '85 and remember great music like this.
@str8outtatexas1 I hear ya brah,but....just to play devils advocate.....from big asses to no shirts also describes some MAJOR talents of the 70's & 80's, like..Rick James(no shirts,grabbing his,me,me,me),Prince(no CLOTHES..lol, grabbing his ,my,my,my), Their Girl Groups, Vanity 6 & Mary Jane Girls(pretty faces, half naked babes), & from Teddy's no shirt to Chaka's big ass, from Mavin's "Let's Get It On" to Minnie's "Inside My Love". PT.1
wow what a great song. Superb music, touching and clever lyrics. and the video. I feel the urban touch and the regular situations that shows the video. Nowadays music is crap. Lyrics are trash, and the video.... smh those videos are cheap with the overused slow motion and they show us some fancy luxury trash and plastic broads... it's ain't real anymore... how sad
I LOVED THIS SONG!!! One of my all-time faves from the 80s. I spent years searching for the name of the artist and then when I found it, more years spent searching to buy the old album! I agree, 80s R&B was the best. R&B music of today filled with rap is not appealing at all. Bring back the 80s! Honk! Honk!
Nou ik ook hoor. Toen ik pas youtube ontdekte en mn oldschoolmemories voorbij zag komen was ik zo blij. Trouwens nu nog ja; wat een uitvinding he; was ik maar degene die het bedacht had.
@selmabaysal classic omg there one of the reasons istarted making my own music,true pioeers ,outstanding music, timeless thanks for posting selma you know your stuff d7nyc
The year 1985 was a great year for me and this song was one of my favorites! Wish I could have at least 2 days from that year to do over! Man, would I make the most of them!!! There is nothing like this anymore! Just enjoy the memories! Thanks for a wonderful post! Peace!
One of my favorite songs of all time.The system doesn't get their due credit,but I listen to this everyday along with Don't Disturb this Groove.I always think about an old flame when I hear this.
This band is the most underated treasure in the mid 80's. They were so ahead of there time people did not know what to do with there music. Mick's vocals were clear that could reach into the heavens. The collaberation of music really takes your heart and soul to a different level. This dual definitiely influenced many muscians that wont admit it. Long live there music
@Legendkiller4849 so true. there are a lot of 'hidden gems' and underrated artists that i listen to and it makes me mad (in a way) because i feel like they didn't get their due, or credit ...and most of the time these artists sound just as good, if not better than the more known ones. well, i guess that's just the way it is
Fantastic track. It seems some are having trouble getting this. Theres a cd which contains 2 of there albums ' x-periment' and 'The Pleasure Seekers' which has this track, it also contains the classic track 'It Takes Two' cd number is Wounded Bird Records WOU 146 available from Amazon etc.
the futuristic sound from the past,were did we go wrong, we were making such great progess, man this jam used to go off I remember listening to this every friday on my way to the city shit this was way back in 85 or something,thanks for the post this music will never die
Although they're from the US, they also produced a lot of European acts during their heyday! Check out my interview lead singer Mic Murphy on my channel.
this is really takes me back, not to knock some of the artist out today but music in the time line of songs like this had real character and heart........but thats just me
if u download "The Pleasure Seekers" album, you will find it there...and I can guarantee if you do...you will not stop playing the entire album for at least a week - it's that strong...
i need to yell at itunes and tell them to get this. there is also a remix for "your in my system" w/ prodigy from mobb deep. can't find that one either.
...3 things you can do, thetzone....., #1, you could scour the local used cd/vinyl stores in your local hood - but that may be like finding a needle in a haystack; or #2, find out the record label of "The Pleasure Seekers" and get on thier website and order it from them directly IF they have it in stock; or #3, yell at iTunes and patiently wait for them to finally get it....much success in finding a classic r&b rug cutta'...
I did see it on both of those sites. I was actually hoping someone would have it and could send it to me through email. But thanks for the advice in any case!
But it's not really the younger generations fault. I start placing the blame on mid-80's when synths became more used and schools started to take away music, art and dance funding. This also added to the era of the individual...solo artist were the way to go and so went the band.
The ego's come in play and sad to say that we won't have another era where the soul band have a bond and a struggle together. The only other band currently i know of is the Roots
Ahhhhh!!! pure, freedom, no drama, issues, driving across the country in the convertable with this playing loud. no bull... garbage songs. Just clean fun love songs...man this bring back memories...
This song just makes me stop in my tracks, it makes me reflect on the earlier years. This takes me back to when I was trying to find myself, find love, and how to manage in this crazy world. Im a true 80s baby....
Yes, the 80's rocked. The music was untouchable compared to this crap that some listen to today, I remember this one from BET while I was stationed at Ft. Knox back in 1985-1986! Oh, the memories..............................
Yeah, I used to love this one too and "You're In My System" and "Don't Disturb This Groove"!!--The System and D-Train were my shit in the early 80's!! (-:
Yea! Takes me back to this girl I spent half my senior year, trying to get with. We didn't hook up till college. She said she always liked me, back then, but thought I was too much of a player to take her serious. She was right about the player part, but so wrong with taking her serious, back then. I'd have packed away the player card, sho-nuff!
....for a good minute, at least. As I did when we finally hooked up, some years later. :P
Awesome track. Totally love everything about it - vocals, synths, bass line, drum track - brilliant!! Why oh why weren't they a success in the UK? Were they on the fringes in the US or a major act?
you are right the 80s were so different life was worth living back then im 31 years of age now and all i listen to is 80s i even have a jherri curl to make it better music like this is gone forever.
One of the best Soul/Funky Duo's of the 80's! Nothing today compares to The System! They made use of electronic music and still kept the funk! Who today does that?! NOONE!!!!
Great song,I saw this group in concert, they tore it up!

I did see it on both of those sites. I was actually hoping someone would have it and could send it to me through email. But thanks for the advice in any case!

These are the words Maxwood830
But it's not really the younger generations fault. I start placing the blame on mid-80's when synths became more used and schools started to take away music, art and dance funding. This also added to the era of the individual...solo artist were the way to go and so went the band.
The ego's come in play and sad to say that we won't have another era where the soul band have a bond and a struggle together. The only other band currently i know of is the Roots

This jam takes me back to mid 80's when I used to go to Oasis (religously on a Sunday eve). This was C.J Carlos's anthem!

This song just makes me stop in my tracks, it makes me reflect on the earlier years. This takes me back to when I was trying to find myself, find love, and how to manage in this crazy world. Im a true 80s baby....

Yes, the 80's rocked. The music was untouchable compared to this crap that some listen to today, I remember this one from BET while I was stationed at Ft. Knox back in 1985-1986! Oh, the memories..............................

Yea! Takes me back to this girl I spent half my senior year, trying to get with. We didn't hook up till college. She said she always liked me, back then, but thought I was too much of a player to take her serious. She was right about the player part, but so wrong with taking her serious, back then. I'd have packed away the player card, sho-nuff!
....for a good minute, at least. As I did when we finally hooked up, some years later. :P

Awesome track. Totally love everything about it - vocals, synths, bass line, drum track - brilliant!! Why oh why weren't they a success in the UK? Were they on the fringes in the US or a major act?

Very similar feel to their production on Robert Palmer's 'You Are In My System' (a cover of The System's original).

One of the best Soul/Funky Duo's of the 80's! Nothing today compares to The System! They made use of electronic music and still kept the funk! Who today does that?! NOONE!!!!
