Never knew this great 80s song had a shitty video. This was the anthem for breakdancing back then and they dug up this stupid guy to make dumb faces and do a total if 3 dance moves? Cmon man!!
Midnight Star earned success on both the R&B charts and the pop charts.
On the UK pop chart, "The Midas Touch" got all the way up to # 8.
In the early/mid 80s a lot of funk-ish music crossed from the R&B chart to the US / UK pop charts & vice-versa.
David Bowie's "Let's Dance" got to # 14 on the US R&B chart in 1983.
U.S. Funk diva Melba Moore's "Love's Comin At Ya" reached #15 on the UK pop chart. A few more examples, the US R&B Chart: "Shock the Monkey", "Miss Me Blind" "Out of Touch."
You may find that it is worth the time to take a look and listen at the song lists that have been posted to Itunes Ping that meld together rhythmically & stylistically compatible early/mid 80s R&B/funk songs and early/mid 80s synth pop/new wave songs. Lots of music that was either forgotten or not ever learned of but was very enjoyable or would be very enjoyable if it was rediscovered or discovered for the 1st time by people that enjoy this type of music. People like you?
I have researched these music categories for the past 9 years
and I have rediscovered tunes I had forgotten about or I discovered
new tunes that totally deserved the time it took to discover them.
In Itunes Store or Itunes Ping if you use the search terms "electrofunk" (as a single word) or "80s funk" the search result shall produce several lists that have "electrofunk" or "80s funk" in the playlist name in the "Playlist" category at the low left corner of the search result.
These lists have songs that (1) you may have heard before and enjoyed but forgotten or (2) songs that you may enjoy now but you have not heard before. These lists also include album cuts that were not released as singles and songs from lesser known yet solid groups/soloists such as Fatback, Kashif, Laid Back, D Train, Boys Don't Cry, and Dynasty.
i remember breakin to the song when i lived in europe, it was the eeesh , there was nothing better to practice break dance than this, lol!! so awesome
I still grin from ear to ear, listening to this. I can clearly remember blowing out several sets of speakers in my car when this came on .. you can't play it loud enough! Thanks for posting !
@inaj27 Ya you notice how every "artist" is taking 80's stuff. Black Eyed peas, Jay Z etc. and some artist steal from songs that are recent. On the floor by J Lo is just like stereo love by Edward Maya. If you compare the aquardiun < ( Butchered the Spelling on that one) they are almost identical.
@SkOpEd13 I feel you! on eof my friends who claims im stuck in the 80's has no idea that music that he listens to now is basically inspired and or came from the songs back then. ughh this new generation that i am apart of fucking sucks! bring the 80s and the 90s back. please dear god! : )
@inaj27 Ya i wana start an 80's style rock band. My favorite band is metallica cuz they dont play whiny bullshit like most of the bands and there stuff is original with their own style
I' haven't heard this tune in years.My teenage years come flashing back t o me in an instant.Gotta love the 80's music.So many genre's to choose from and all popular on the radio and mtv.Weeekend parties filled with great music like this back in the days.
lol i keep on laughing at the hand pointing to the left. its like they think its the only clip they worked hard on thats why they showed it like 5 times in the vid.
I LOVE THIS SONG BUT HATE I MEAN HATE THE FUCKING VIDEO, i wanted to see midnight star not this fucking lame white guy ( no offense white people) who can't break or pop for shit! What a burn and fucking rip off! Peace and much love to you Midnight Star wherever you all are or maybe. And death i mean slow agonizing painful death to the mofo who came out in this video and alomst ruined this great old school jam foe me. Ihave spoken!
I wanna live in the early 80's in miami or in california. This would be my dream or in the 70's ! I would LOVE IT from the bottom of my heart !!! I HATE this decade. I dont like modern music and ppl of today,are not in my "funky" league. Everything today is so fucked up ...thats rly sad ..rly !
I remember the 1st time I heard this song...I was only 11 but I was blown away. Couldn't get enough of it...still can't. Awesome synth work, great groove, great production. Never heard this crazy mix though. No Parkin' On the Dance Floor is another great Midnight Star song.
the beat makes me think of captin EO from disneland in the 80's
