I herd this song on an adult contemperary music station and fell in love with the groove instantly so fonky!! this song came out way before my time ill bet it was some great times back then!
Thank you for this song!! I was 21 when this came out, but did not buy it until I was in my 30s (LOL). I was in my senior year in high school when Got To Be Real was released, but when this song came out I was too through (in a good way). Sorry, but I liked this song better. In the S.F Bay Area, this song used to get a lot of air play on KDIA. I mention this station so much, because they played all kinds of songs. Not just those that were common. They really promoted the artist.
A few years ago two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later the babysitter was calling to see if she could cover the clown statue in the kids' room. The father said " Get the kids out if the house, we'll cal the police, we don't have a clown statue". The "clown statue" was actually a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this on 10 videos tonight the clown will be in your bed at 3:00am with a chainsaw in his hand. Sorry don't want this to happen to me
@750BruteForce4x4i Ice Cube,biggie, some dre songs, snoop..are ok because of that g-funk period..which took samples from the 70s and 80s..but guys like eazy-e really ruin it for me..
Trouble with today's music honestly? It's all about openly sexual content. At least when I was growing up in the 50's 60's 70's and part 80's, we could tolerate the music. Some of you new singers today should take some lessons from the best of the best singers. We had good times and had our private moments with a girl without having to advertise it on the radio. If you think it's cool watching a little kid trying to copy Michael Jackson holding his crotch, there's something wrong with that pic.
Why does that bass sound so good? Because it's a Stingray. Has a tone all its own. Other great bass lines using the Stingray: Teena Marie's Square Biz and I Need Your Lovin'. Also check out Louis Johnson, funk bassist extraordinaire (Stomp by Brothers Johnson). And Sade's bassist Paul Denman plays a Stingray on all her hits. Nothing else sounds like a Stingray!
This is the real deal. Cheryl Lynn sounds sensational on this. In the summer of 1981, we'd play this over and over again on the weekends while we were getting ready to go out, have a couple of cocktails in the kitchen, and then hit our favorite bar where we were regulars. What a blast we had. Cheryl was our motivator - she got us going !!!! Still love this record.
I'm 15 and this song gave me instant goosebumps...i've been listening to so many songs from the 70s and 80s for atleast 3 years now, this song is definitely at the top for me, just close your eyes and you really feel like you're in a club in 1981 dancing your butt off!
I miss those days..wish i had a time-machine..i really can't stand the music or atmosphere of music today..
@LBJTV unfortunatly you cant go into the past even with a time machine... the first time machine ever built wil be the farthest back in the past anyone can go, u must come thru a time machine on the other side... but in the future we might find some anchient alien time machine and visit our past, but thats a long shot lol... sorry to let u down, but u cant visit the 70s without finding an ancient alien time machine and finding a way to link it to our time machine that will use windows 7 LOL HAH
@wildboy789789 Thanks for the input, I'm aware of that, I've been reading about Physics book about things like that (Time travel, wormholes, alien civilization etc)..
Sadly, i'm going to have to stick to youtube to get a piece of what it was all about..and stories my dad tells me :)
@LBJTV well just keep listening to this music and KEEP IT ALIVE! if you like what you hear just check out my channel but don't freak out i'm celebrating Halloween all the way up to HALLOWEEN Oct.31 with Halloween video's but i have great tunes at my channel!
