[dionnejones932]

Yes this was a beautiful song the house music was the best genre of music in those days just right for those who appreciated it. Thank You Pamela & Love exchange.

[BlazinSaddles]

Thank you thank you thank you. I have clear memories of baby powder and the Paradise Garage, and thats after years of mescaline Boo LOL

[clinicrecording]

It's killing me hearing it this fast. If it"s a classic why change it? Thousands liked it the way the Artists intended including yourself. If you're gonna post an artists material at least respect it and don't censor it.

[burres48]

IF YOU LIKE THAT TRY THAT BLUE MAGIC WELCOME TO THE CLUB !! RE-EDIT VERSION!!

[TheOshmike]

This takes me back to the roller rink days

[td0805]

OMG!!! Thank you! Thank you for posting this song! I have been looking for this song for OVER 15 years. Hands up Chi-town!!! I remembered this song from my old clubbin' days in Chicago; Medusa's near Belmont Ave, Sawyers on the southside; Warhouse, the Reactor near lake street and Halsted, the Music Box near 22nd & Michigan, and the Bismarck Hotel...just to name a few:). I was apart of a small club group named Protege in the late 80's, and we use to kick it with the Ambassadors & Ecstasy.

[byron1780]

@td0805 GLAD YOU LIKE OUR SONG I'M ONE OF THE ORIGINAL GIRLS FROM THE GROUP, I'M FAYE CROSS ALL ARE DOING WELL HERE IN THE BIG D, DROP A LINE AND LET'S CHAT ON MY SPACE.

[garrett4429]

OH THAT'S THE SHIZZNITT!!

[jjayjilla]

@garrett4429 Yes it is!

[garrett4429]

This was one of the many deep house songs in the Chicago clubs back in the early 80's!!!! God bless the person who bent the pitch...... either way the song is a Club sensation!!!!!!! "OH PEOPLE LOVING ME!!!!!!!!!"

[byron1780]

@garrett4429 NO SWEETHEART SHES' SAYING KEEP ON LOVING ME I SHOULD KNOW WE WROTE SOME OF THE WORDS TO THE SONG, HI I'M FAYE CROSS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL SINGERS. THANX FOR THE COMPLIMENT, HIT ME ON MY SPACE.

[taytaywifey122309]

@byron1780 i would love to. I adore that song. one of chicago's elite house anthems.

[theiicemancometh]

" i'm at your command " def my fav club joint ! by the way..NYC got the whole club & house music thing started by playing hits like this and many others. dj's started adding drum tracks and mixing the music. thats how singers like Martha Wash,Jocelyn Brown,Loeatta Holloway,Barbara Roy,First Choice got into house music coming out of Disco- the Mother of House&Club music which as we all know started in NYC BABY ! so hold right up CHI-TOWN !! 167th& GRANDCOURSE forever !!!

[chino1430]

Gotta play this one the way it was recorded. If I was to play this back home in the Chi, I would use it as a beatin as come down then speed the party back up with some more funky ass shit!

[pookeyblow]

wtf too fast!!!!

[ptownfreddy]

jjayjilla: Too bad your record got pinched. But, I feel that you pitched this just right, not even one bpm fast! And what a wonderful and important disco record it is!

[jjayjilla]

THANKS!

[johnny029]

@ptownfreddy This is a classic Very Cute! Check out My Main Video!

[siminko]

I looooove it! Thanks

[dawn220]

Pam Todd & the Chipmunks! Werk!!!!

[dosx78]

you take the soul out of it by playing it this fast.slow and steady ,just like making love..what are you a 2 minute man.lol

[kevin1051]

slow it down

[funkmastermoon]

This is where it's at. Soulful pumping disco. Bonnie production, great arrangement too...

[alkh3myst]

One of the biggest flaws of the current club scene is that every producer and DJ seems to be 'tempo locked'. Everything's 124-128 BPM. There's only one possible vibe/groove. Back a few years (like when this was released) DJs worked with a much wider range of tempos. This made a party much more creative, and got people more involved. As a dancer, you can be a lot freer and have more options on a slower record that still has a killer groove.

[glamourgirlatthegig]

Dead on Alkh3myst. I remember tryna kill myself to "Go Bang" & "Street Player". But I could get my groove on the same way with "Going Back to My Roots" or "Sun Sun Sun".

[alkh3myst]

The faster the record is, the fewer options you have before the next beat. That said, I used to wear a hole in the floor to "Go Bang" too!

[ptownfreddy]

glamourgirlatthegig, what taste you have!

Lamont Dozier!

And especially Jakki, whose "Sun, Sun, Sun" puzzles disco people 35 years theareafter. But, not you and me!

Ha, Ha! :)

"Sun, Sun, Sun" concerns the basic joy of humanity! It equally celebrates African jump dances, and the English rocks at Stonehenge!

And the Lamont Dozier record is just - well, sublime to any of us of a certain age who are trying to reckon with our pasts ...

[peppppy1]

toooooooooooooooooooo fast

[brnardo6]

PITCH BEND!!! NOOOOO!!!!! At the Garage, it was SLOW and SEXY never munchkins!! Too bad...

[alkh3myst]

"Alvin and the Chipmunks" at the party? Uhh-uh!

[TheSweetism]

The spped up works for me....sounds like it does in the club...Let's get together and make some love!

[28thStonyisland]

A little to fast for my taste but the songs speaks for it's self. House music all nite long!!!!!!!! Chi-Town stand up!!!!!!

[lynndeeloo]

Do you work for C.T.A.?

[28thStonyisland]

No baby I dont, i'm a government employee:)

[superskullis]

I love the pitch bending! Messing with these tracks is the origin and essence of house, and it's a treat to hear it this way (IMHO).

[sexyfynepoet]

ohhh don't like this change

[Jolar70]

NOOOOOO! Why speed it up? You are screwing with an artist's work. Whether it's the writer, singer, or producer. Save the pitching for mixing. Speeding up a song like this only kills some of it's groove. It wasn't made in the 2000's and speeding it up doesn't make it better. Consider that you are passing this on to a lot of people who might hear it for the first time here, and please respect the music. It was good of you to mention the change though.

[lynndeeloo]

Jolar70, This was the speed we used to enjoy circa 1987. Please read earlier comments to understand. Thanks!

[galafuze]

@Jolar70 -- YES, a groove killer for sure. I guess the because the club music these days is sooo fast it needs "fixing." No good.

[byron1780]

@Jolar70 YOU TELL HIM! HI i'M ONE OF THE ORIGINAL GIRL'S FROM LOVE EXCHANGE, IT IS A CLASSIC AND RESPECT OUR HARD WORK IN THE STUDIO ALL DAY WE WERE ALL FROM DETROIT WORKING HARD IN NYC. BY THE WAY I'M FAYE CROSS LOOK ME UP ON MY SPACE. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES. LOL

[skfj67]

Apparently you didnt hear it on a RICHARD LONG sound system!!All i can say is BABY YUH MISSED IT!YUH HAD TO BE THERE TO UNDERSTAND!Mixed into this was either DO YA THINK I"M SEXY OR MISS YOU!!fuckin RLA BERTHAS used just RUUUUMMMBLE the morning away!YO!.....sssst.... can you hear that?...I BEEN HAULIN ASS SO LONG AND I MISS YOU,WHATS THE MATTER MAN?IM GONE COME AROUND THE SQUARE WITH SOME PUERTO RICAN GIRLS THATS JUST DYING TO MEET YOU!hoo HOO OO OO!I MISS YOU!

[aaronmyls]

.....Continued

I was thrown off a little when I heard it sped up like that but as I listened for a little while, I found it interesting.

Thanks for the Album footage, For thirty years this woman was a faceless person to me. I never knew what she looked like because I only saw the 12 inch record or the Larry levan remix gold label. That was amazing. Guys, Lets focus on the MUSIC, the universal language that brings us together. Stop sweating the small stuff. One Love Peace

[jjayjilla]

Thank you for your comments! That was the purpose I posted this song, it reminds you of a great place (and or time) when it is playing. No disrespect to the original pitch speed.....

[aaronmyls]

I first heard this song back in 1977 when I was about 14 years old. My buddy Mitch's Brother was a well known Dj in Brooklyn and when he wasnt home we used to smoke weed and sneek and play his DJ equipment ( He had a bad ass sound system Thoren turntables and the works). Mitch played this record for us and we loved it. Even though we were too young to go to clubs we used to groove to it at house parties. When I started seriously Djing about 10 years later that was one of my first records

[lucaslmuse]

love all mixes bootleg to the offical release !

[jjayjilla]

Me too!

[BulletsBasketballDC]

Aint nobody talking shit here fam.

If I were to talk shit, trust me you would know about it. I am from DC. We are good at talking shit over here. We back it up too. Trust me. There is a reason why our local NBA basketball team had to change its name from the Bullets to the Wizards.

[henrock911]

I like this song little faster as well, but I used the AUDACITY program to speed up the tempo,without changng the pitch. It's a free download, Check it out!!

[jjayjilla]

Cool!

[jjayjilla]

Donna McGhee - It Aint No Big Thing, I LIKE THAT FASTER TOO!

[honkyechidna]

all the shit talkers on this post need to STFU urgent. many house tracks that are at +8 have a new lease on life that doesn't even begin to happen at regular speed. if you can't feel the groove then music and possibly life is not for you to enjoy. + if jjayjilla even CONTEXTUALIZES HIS DECISION YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TALK SHIT, HE TOLD YOU WHY HE DID IT SO IF YOU'RE SO UNHAPPY LEAVE HIM ALONE.

[jjayjilla]

'Nuff said!

[BulletsBasketballDC]

The song is ruined when you speed it up like this. Sounds like the singers were inhaling helium or something.

[jjayjilla]

Then go to Franklindisco!

[gyrovague]

Now they sound like moon creatures..

[jjayjilla]

Now thats funny! There is no life on the Moon........

[gyrovague]

theres the cheeseman. i'm sure you'll know him

[19Osiris71]

A true classic. We used to love this in Chi-town back in the day! Still sounds good

[ashcake81]

Love this song, almost forgot about it. Thankx for posting

[redcheetah]

The original version was slower because it was intended for a mellow R&B/ Soul thematic VIBE at the TIME it was released. Yet it was the creative minds of DJs such as Ronnie Hardy and Frankie Knuckles who heard the undisputed flavor of songs like this. Thus introducing a new generation to a Classic heavy-hittin song such as this. My hat is off to the brutha who posted this. He represents my ERA in Chicago - King Staxx; House Producer; Chicago SOUTHSIDE !!!

[jjayjilla]

You da Man XOLOTLdaTOLTEK!

[gianni737]

I love this!!!!!

[RecordCity]

The original pitch/speed was just fine. The problem with you is you are newjack. Speed freak. Probably grew up on techno or trance or hard house or some other garbage like that. Then you heard this record and did not approve of its ORIGINAL speed. You know what though? The ORIGINAL producers and singers of this record thought the speed was just fine when they released it. So you should too. NEWJACK.

[jjayjilla]

I think I established the reason for the speed early on when I posted this. A local (famous) DJ in Chicaqo Circa 1986-87 put this song in a Saturday Night Light Ain't No Jive Dance Party mix. And that pitch just stuck with me. This is the pitfalls of having perfect pitch I guess! Certain songs must a be at a certain speed for me, that goes for ALL music! Now about being new "Jack", Class of '1985..... Represent!

P.S. Thanks Farley JMF!!!!

[RecordCity]

By 1986-87 this song was already 10 years old. So that means that you were and still are a NEWJACK.

[jjayjilla]

(Oh brother) I know the songs age (I heard it in grammar school), why am I explaining myself to you? You need to learn some respect! When you get on solid foods, hit me back and PULL THOSE PANTS UP!!!...

[EmperorKinetic]

HAH! I have that same mix! I remember the song in this pitch. :-) House classic.

[jjayjilla]

I don't have this mix anymore! WOW!! Please post it if you can Emperor..........

[jjayjilla]

Record City, you're only 21?? Get out of here, and take those Similac cans with you!!

[beyondjazz]

Can somebody PLEASE post "can't hold this feeling" (also on this LP). Equally good.. maybe even better!

[jjayjilla]

!!!!!!!!!!YEah!!!!!!!!!!

[indignantdiva]

I like the original version..but this is club hott!! I like it! This should be the official youtube song! Yoooooooooou make me feel so good when you hold me in your arms.........ooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooo!

[jjayjilla]

Thanks! I agree..................

[ultrafelicity]

OMG!Where is the luv on this strand.Jjayjilla thanx sooo much 4 the pitch bend.This is version I used 2 clown 2.Beautiful song,but when sped up more danceable.Weirdly,coming out of 6ft speakers they sounded more desperately

n luv,frantic to tell you about it.Same with Pleasure Principle by Parlet,Love Having You Around by 1st Choice.If you have those songs and can do the same thing,I will knight u Sir Jjayjilla of you tube. Chicago house 4ever.

[ezgdisco]

That's Dancin' and Prancin' by CANDIDO. I have the record but have not made a video for it.

[jjayjilla]

No problem! I wanted to to add that maybe Farley "Funkin' Kieth "spoiled" me to this pitch. I can't help it........!

[stephanien12]

I also like this speed..good to dance to

reminds me of the Power Plant

thank you for posting it..

househead living in Hawaii

[stephanien12]

this version also reminds me of the Larry Levan mix.. I'm not sure if this is it but, I recently heard his and in my opinion it was the best I've heard.. He is missed.

thank you,

househead living in Hawaii

[jjayjilla]

Some guy named Franklindisco has posted it at the original speed on YouTube. Just search for Pam Todd and it'll pop up!

[jjayjilla]

You like this song at the original speed??

[drunkenmantis7]

This was me and my first loves Theme Song !!

And it did need a lil speeding up ....

[jjayjilla]

Word!!!!!!!!!!

[ageema]

oh, the original speed is totally allright :) i LOVE this song.

[jjayjilla]

I thought it was a little slow, I'll even say sluggish. This is the speed I was used to, especially in a mix!
