#69(Tie)

[cubedmack]

The beat is off the chain. Listen to the instrumental version, close your eyes and you will be in a daze.

[cakeplus8psycho]

to compare this to wiz khalifa is to compare gold bricks to rust pellets.

Loose Ends is great

[phillynash]

This is who Dirty Money reminds me of for the 2000's era.

[tdsafff]

I first heard this record on the radio in NYC in 1985, but I think it might have been out in the UK as early as 1983.

[BearyNYC]

Once again, takes me back to college. Thanks to Mindi Goldsmith Rosenthal for introducing me to this song.

"I ain't no plaything!"

[maysonbanner]

"I'm not your plaything!" Jam from way back!

[arkansoul]

Jane Eugene was kinda thick, too...

[dcflava74]

@arkansoul She was the essence of what true blackness is all about,full lips,chocalate smooth skin,curves and real hair,not bleached skin,messy weavee,she was a hottie.

[arkansoul]

@dcflava74 Any females that come into music with a natural look, they call it neo-soul. Can you believe that?

[dcflava74]

@arkansoul Its like they now categorize you if you look natural and totally black like thats not normal,boy times had changed.

[weveseenit]

@dcflava74 yes, yes, yes!!!!! big ups dcflava74 for kicking some truth!!!

[russeli1941]

Thanx for the post sabadogigante! Love Love Love It!!!

I miss the 80' so much it frickin' hurts!!!

[blessedroses78]

Omg this is my jam, I was 7 or 8 and I still play it like it is 1985... I sure miss this type of sound.

[8tcrazy]

@bnrownsugga81......this is an 85 hit right here.....the year I was born.

[naveen1972z]

I once dated this Jamaican guy and all he played was Loose Ends. They are a great group but that's all he listened to. lol

[lford1130]

@naveen1972z  LMAO!

[VANITY80]

Did Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis produced this one? It's like a SOS Band tune from Sands of time

[tdsafff]

Most of their earlier good stuff was produced by Nick Martinelli - an Italian-American guy from Philly.

[hagnuj]

@tdsafff so what the musicians have the idea.

[loobaman]

Yeah !!! sony walkman a bmx and a solid tune, back to the eighties in style. Peace x

[tdsafff]

*THE* dominant record in NYC in 1985.

[chameleon747]

I had the honour to play some records at a street party recently, My last two records were Martin Luther Kings 'I have a dream' speech followed with Loose Ends, Hanging on a string, what a record this still is. Massive respect and love.

[Classyjazzlady]

Yessss. Yessss.
