Electric!!!!!



[jamminjoe44]

Greetings Everyone!!! If this song doesnt want to make you get up and dance ...... Please go have your pulse checked to be sure you are still alive!!!!!

[jon99miller]

This is real club music and not that junk they play in clubs today.

[BassLiberators]

@jon99miller

the 80's had great music, but it also had alot of crap. just like modern music has alot of good artists, but alot of cheap commercial crap too.

[jon99miller]

This is for grown folks only.

[jamminjoe44]

R.I.P. Real music .... 

[fhoplist]

The real mccoy sampled this.

[ErkusJansone]

these peeps rock! love it-what ever happened to them?

[doctafonk101]

@ErkusJansone they still record and tour worldwide-midnight star is alive and kickin'!

[Credithelper75]

This was some funky shit back in that day.....

[ronny0ragtroll]

This is pure dope !!

[javajava489]

[doctafonk101]

[GpicErow]

[Jgeneraledger23]

I'm going to buy myself a Bright Yellow IROC and crank the hell out of this!

[rnds]

GOTT GET MY MIND RIGHT!!!!!

[FinestFellaz]

Typical 80's . The band-members were zoomed smaller cuz the vast number of artists needed 2 be placed on a pad small as 12" x 12" . Just check. Nowadays we got all close ups on the covers.

Anyway great tune ♥

[MrMusicman488]

Man I use to "Pop Lock" to this back in the day. Now if I tried that I would "Pop" and Lock up for good :0)

[Scottner1234]

Operator could tear it up, fabulous song, one of a kind...

[NastyQueDawg97]

They graduated from my alma mater Kentucky State University, I remember they use to come to every homecoming back in teh day. My brother use to date Belinda Lipscomb, I have the yearbook pics of my brother and her.

1974-1976

This is SICK, Onra sampled this in "Oper8tor" which is equally badass.

[deluxedookie]

[ibotter4real]

Used to play at the University of Louisville in the late 70's... we were so lucky

[funinseligman]

@ibotter4real got to love the funk

[palmares77]

INNOVATORS OF SOUND!!!!!.......Never got their fair place in sparking the evolution of Black Music. Solar Records was NO JOKE THOUGH!!!......Shalamar, Bar-Kays, Midnight Star, etc.........

[maxazanxacool]

[paperskull1]

we used to jam this at club mystery friday night 84' style in Rochester new york, the crowd would go wild to midnight start or ''The Star'' as we used to call them, the energy will never fade, thanks for the post!!!!

[michelino1968]

Sooooooo...good !!! No more operators left these days to putt You in line for some more music like this...and I've heard quite some stuff for now - I'm in my 40's now... in Germany we sued to mix this over and over ....Good Old TOR 3 in Duesseldorf !!! Freak Up !!

[OLDSCHOOLHHSEX]

WRONG-Plenty of 1980s people who grew up in thier 40's now STILL PLAY**MIDNITE STAR->From TAPES still going 15 years strong** =) Let see people rebuild a 15 year old Scratched CD! >=)P

[straightfamouz]

can i get a download link?

[tokyotammy]

They're actually playing at the Cotton Club in Tokyo this weekend. My husband is taking me to see them. I still love this song!

[Tayo39]

how'd go?

[tokyotammy]

It was a lot of fun. We had a blast.

[TOcity87]

This song reminds me of clubing at Canary Cottage in Toronto in 1984.

[ChrisCorona23]

this song rocks

[justincl97]

I love this song, it is awesome

[pechinrules]

One of my exes played this song and others listening to wamo in pittsburgh pa in the 80's and drove me crazy and hence we havent talked since.

[snapseven7]

WAMO I hate that station...I only listen to NPR in this city...

[schlejde]

The groove on this song (as well as that on No Parking on the Dance Floor) is absolutely ARRESTING. I used to hear this kick-ass tune at Tejano Clubs in Houston, Texas when the DJs would do mixes of more Americana-type music as contrasted with Tejano/Traditional Mexican tunes. The response on the part of the patrons to those night clubs UPON HEARING TUNES LIKE THIS ONE, during the early eighties, was incredible. The habitues of those discoteques would immediately fill up the dance floor.

[michelino1968]

Same in the clubs I used to DJ in, You could almost put the whole LP on and go down to the bar, relax and have a drink ... :-)

[471911]

sounds exacly like MEETING IN THE LADYS ROOM

[sweetnsexymarie]

ty i reme ber i loved meeting in the ladies room now i have it cause you reminded me of that awesome song..ty and hugs to you.

[471911]

Your welcome sweetie hugs

[lifes2shrt07]

damn yes it does....lol

[JTR878]

the base beat sounds similar, but this song rocks a little more!

[251to502]

@471911 Reggie Calloway of Midnight Star produced Meeting In The Ladies Room.

[471911]

sounds exactly like FREAKAZOID

[majsanilaki]

Thank you,for Midas touch,operator,curious.

Midnight star,Zap and Roger its no1 for me.

[CSD7038]

This is a baaadaaass cut. Tight!!!. Deep, I'm mean deep in the groove. Smooth authentic Soul. Seriously!!!!

[brian1963110]

Better than todays music..for damm sure.

[jp86mc]

[myshadow04]

Great memories of my disco time. Used to dance to this every and every weekend. Thanks for putting this up!!

[MiaPenaCohen]

Hi I've been looking for the video and lyrics for TODAY MY LOVE from this album.

Pls Help...Thanks

[extremeriot]

I love this Group....the 80's was the happiest time in my childhood, great memories, I used to dance around in the house with this song...and "freak-a-zoid".

[tyoonz]

This group had so much going for it. WHY did they not get any more popularity than they did?

[iknkn]

cause us americans dont see the whole picture of things, we only look at one part of the item and plus were so focus on tryin to fit in were just so afraid of not being like by others so thats why things dont get the play when there good some of us americans dont understand and only like what everyone else likes

[palmares77]

@tyoonz This was '84. Black music was too healthy for the industry!! If a great group like this fell by the side, just imagine how much great music our people were putting out back then.

[MyGin777]

@tyoonz Great Band Awsome Song!

[fordachevy]

@tyoonz Becouse rap came along, and most music that was produced was low grade for dance, it was crap rap, WY dint Kurtis Blow master rapper get more popular?

[AnalogVocoder1]

Roland SVC-350 Vocoder

[AnalogVocoder1]

Obviously the 2 that gave me that rating are NO fans of Midnight Star!! If they were it WOULD be +2 instead of -2!!!

[AnalogVocoder1]

That's getting better.
