Oh my days! What a blast from the past. Thank you very much for uploading this.

[pedtrot]

Chuuuune Blood! Don't play if you don't have your flares on.

[cobra8503]

You must be about the same age as me, pushing fifty now! God we have the same bloody records from them days! And they were the best. Sultry summers listening to JFM. Some of the clubs I used to go to were Oscars, Goldmine, TOTS, Zero 6, Room at the top, Ilford Palais and a little known small club in Romford called the Rezz which was my local. Only held 200 people but what people! Alll there purely for the music. Just aint the same now. I would say the decade between 76 and 86 cant be touched.

[VocalZonesUSA]

Oh My Gosh!!! Just loooooovvvveeee this tune!!!! Bought this track so many years ago!! Thanks for adding it!!!

[kfcdoubledownpromo]

i love this tune

[soulunsigned]

One of the guys from Savanna, Mike Thompson, is just finishing off a guest DJ compilation for our label. It's coming out in May. It feature new music but is heavily inspired by the 80's.

[port2344chester]

[txl17]

Man, i can not find an album or CD from these guys. Does anyone know where I can buy their music?

[UKTribe1]

[agilefalcon]

Yes, I've got this on 12" vinyl too. Just now digitized it on my Mac. Super jazz funk. I bought this record from Groove Records in London's Soho district decades ago...damn. They could have made this record today - it's timeless.

JFM was banging it in Lewisham.

WOW ! was with a friend , we visited The Jazz Funk night in Stockport.Feb 2008, later that day in the record colection listened to the 7 " of this track Lovely early 80's Jazz Funk !

[nicostev]

One of the soul tunes of the 80's.

[tonnyosmond]

a great song .

[tracey281069]

You the man, you the man, you the man.Thanks for taking me back in time this tune was good in the 80s and good today thanks for uploading a song so hard to find cheers.

[markthebass]

Pleasure.

[chelseabigk]

Hello Tracey, this song is on a Disco Fever C.D volume 1.Most of the other tracks on it are the usual ones which they put onto C.D. My wife picked it up for me last year at a cost of £1.00!!.

[tracey281069]

Nice one Thanks.

[19funk66]

Yes!!!!! For me the best, most polished British 12 inch of that early-80s time. Great vocals, top bass, and as for Orphy Robinson on the vibes - a real high watermark. Fantastic to hear this again. Five stars. Major, major classic. "Baby, does it feel right to you?" You bet!
