@ everyone, the Music today has "changed" so much due to the "fact" that you cannot put something into something that for the most part is not even in the "equation" that something would be the "Soul"...what happened to "all" of the "real" Soul Musicians from back in the day, hmm? Where is the Love now?
@INFINITEINDIGOCHILDE The problem is that artist creativity was praised then, now it is despised. The industry is run by accountants not people with a genuine interest in music now. Hence everything is lower common denominator and creativity and diversity etc. are actively discouraged as they don't necessarily lead to higher profits. Of course in the long term they lose but they are too narrow minded to see or care.
Who could have forseen back then that music would ultimately end up in the toilet, as it is today. We need to flush that crap and start creating some monster music oncemore, for old times sake! Let's educate the new generation with what REAL music is!!! Come hear kids, let me introduce you to THIS; the stuff dreams are made of ! ! !
Wasn't sure about this at first, Ms Houston moving into different territory, but so glad I got into it. Tony Prince, Radio Luxembourg, Friday night, The Ultimate Disco Show.
Todays music is all about Image verses true talent. Music from the 70's and 80's made you feel good. Most of todays artist are talentless hands down, with the exception of the Neo-Soul artists.
@iAmMusic0922 Creepy,well thats what make the song work,the more creepier and weirder the introduction the better the song,Jam and lewis,pure geniuses.
All these big tunes from my past, just takes me back. I hear what some of you are saying about todays music. Its rare in these times to hear a new track that comes close to them great classic but there is a few out there. Teedra Moses is one example... Be Your Girl.
@jewells051: I feel every word in your comment. Today's music does absolutely nothing for me...for some reason i can't feel it. This is the first generation of music i can't get a feel for.
Bought this back in the day. Guaranteed Dancefloor Filler at the AllDayers - Clouds in Preston, Rock City Nottingham, PowerHouse Manchester, Tiffanys Leeds etc. Oh what memories and JOY!
@snakehips16 i was on the door @ clouds @kevs alldayers , n this was a monsta, great days outstanding music , n i got paid for listening to it all i had to do was wear a dicky bow . ha ha
This was the first song on my big brother's bootleg cassette tape recorded off of the radio back in 85. I used to listen to it over and over because I though it was slammin. Never knew who the artist was until I heard it again on GTA Vice City Stories. Somebody as Rockstar Games knows their music.
Killing it!!!!! Jimmy and Terry!!! I love the harmony of the hook!!!! GENIUS!!!! Plus the Groove is just tremendous! Look out Thelma! You still sexy mama!
@Realness97 Yep :-) It's got that same groove as "You're In My System". In fact, we use to mix the instrumentals from this, "Didn't Mean To Turn You On", and "You're In My System" together, all the time!
Music back then had depth, substance, meaningful lyrics, A WHOLE LOT OF CLASS, powerful production, timeless music I swear.... Today, the level of maturity shows, especially in the lack of songwriting, the lack of musicianship, lack of REAL SINGERS..... I can honestly say, I havent been impressed by no one of today, as being standout artists', be it hip hop or RNB. Whatever happend to black music? SMH
LOL u r so right . I am with u on this. I miss the 80's r&b and the club mixes, my heart bleeds. We need this kind of music to come back. We need some old school producers to come back into the music business.
Excuse my spelling....it is not just the production.....It`s the old allen and heath mixer they used to use to get all the highs mids and trebles correct to bring it all out into their mix ;o) AMAZING SONG !
i'll have to thank gta vice city stories for this because if it wasn't for that game i wouldn't have known that this song even existed, they never play it on the radio
I've just 46, and this was the music i grew up with. I remember hearing this on Robbie vincents LBC radio show one saturday evening. Oh the sweet memories, the following monday i went to the record store after college and bought this wicked tune! could not get enough of it then and cannot get enough of it now. Life was so simpler back then............the moog bass is sublime and her velvet vocals wrapping themselves around the melody.
B1LKOMOT!! We have to bring this music back,coz the youth of today have got no idea what "SHIT" they are listening to.Our music back in the day had/has meaning,lyrics,rythum,& would send you into another when listening to it!!!!
"PURE CLASS"!!!!! "Today`s SHIT Don`t Even Compare To This Sorely Missed, Decade Of Long Gone HIT AFTER,HIT AFTER HIT........ 80`s SOUL & R&B LEGACY" Some One Get Me A Time Machine,So I Can Escape This Crap They Call Music Today,

ELLE A FAIT BIEN MIEUX QUE CA DE + APPREND CE QUE C'EST UNE 7'' , UN MAXI, UNE 12'' . CETTE VERSION C' EST UNE VERSION MAXI ET NON UNE 12'' DIT PAR UN ANCIEN DJ
just wanna say thank you, this song was hot when I was struglin, bearly food, not anymore but WBLS & KISS were battling for 1st place and it was the best music ever for my life time mid 80 I think
This base line is just killing me man,WICKED WICKED!!!jam and Lewis was just totally ahead of their time with ths jam,oh gosh wish their was a tme machne that will take me back to 1984.
We used to dance to this when it first came out until the sweat was dripping off us like we had been swiming. Those were the days of pure fun and i remember them as if they happened yesterday. She said she longs for the good days....well so do i Ms. Houston. The music today sucks and just don't move you like this era of music. This is the frist generation of music i can't indentify with. I loved some music from my parents and grandparents era and of course my own,but today's mucis is pure crap.
@JustJules Thelma Houston is Whitney Houstons Aunt. Cissy Houston is Whitney Houstons Mother. Dionne Warrick and the late Dee Dee Warrick are cousins. The Houstons and Warricks Mothers are Sisters!
Confussed-I was until I read their biography's. That Family is a "Singing Dynasty!!"
I still play this LP (thankfully I have two of them) !!! Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis crafted an excellent LP for Thelma Houston and it's a shame that it was slept on by so many people back then !!! Every track was a standout !!! I remember those days in the mid 80's when I would hear some of those tracks in the club !!! This reminds me of when I'd visit NYC (where I first heard and purchased the LP) and brought it back to Ohio !!!
Oh damn!! This one slipped through the cracks of my mind!! The feel on this joint has a Loose Ends sound to it!! This is a classic 80's joint here!! Thanks to whoever posted this!
She ain't by herself i looooooong for the old days too. These days we living in are demonic and twisted. We use to have so much fun without all the violence and fighting. I remember the block parties in Newark,New Jersey and the basement parties we use to have. The music of today is just noise it has no soul and that is why it can't move most ppl. The game has changed and it sucks.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW . . . DAMN! Haven't heard this in a long time. Why can't radio stations remember to play classic jams like this . . . Thahks for the post.
I LOVE this song!! I remember being a little girl singin this. I had NO IDEA who it was or who produced it because the dj would NEVER announce the artist let alone the producer.. CLASSIC!!!!
Oh man! I thought this was Gwen Guthrie for the longest. I didn't know it was Thelma. I was all up in Bentley's working this thinking it was Gwen. Thanks for the post! BTW, I don't know these ladies even tho I'm acting all familiar. I just used to love jamming to them. Now I know why I could never find this particular song...
I remember when this came out.I have always been a Jam & Lewis fan right from the very start and always felt they were way above the rest. When I heard this song, I said to myself if who ever produced this could keep this there are definitely going to be competition to Jam & Lewis.Then song end and the DJ announce Thelma Houston - You Used to Hold Me So Tight produced by Jam & Lewis.To me that confirmed them as the greatest producer in R&B history.
Check out 808 state Ancodia for a clever sample of this song ... then you can check Cobra Bora & its Hustle sample

I still play this LP (thankfully I have two of them) !!! Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis crafted an excellent LP for Thelma Houston and it's a shame that it was slept on by so many people back then !!! Every track was a standout !!! I remember those days in the mid 80's when I would hear some of those tracks in the club !!! This reminds me of when I'd visit NYC (where I first heard and purchased the LP) and brought it back to Ohio !!!

Oh damn!! This one slipped through the cracks of my mind!! The feel on this joint has a Loose Ends sound to it!! This is a classic 80's joint here!! Thanks to whoever posted this!

She ain't by herself i looooooong for the old days too. These days we living in are demonic and twisted. We use to have so much fun without all the violence and fighting. I remember the block parties in Newark,New Jersey and the basement parties we use to have. The music of today is just noise it has no soul and that is why it can't move most ppl. The game has changed and it sucks.

I LOVE this song!! I remember being a little girl singin this. I had NO IDEA who it was or who produced it because the dj would NEVER announce the artist let alone the producer.. CLASSIC!!!!

Oh man! I thought this was Gwen Guthrie for the longest. I didn't know it was Thelma. I was all up in Bentley's working this thinking it was Gwen. Thanks for the post! BTW, I don't know these ladies even tho I'm acting all familiar. I just used to love jamming to them. Now I know why I could never find this particular song...

I remember when this came out.I have always been a Jam & Lewis fan right from the very start and always felt they were way above the rest. When I heard this song, I said to myself if who ever produced this could keep this there are definitely going to be competition to Jam & Lewis.Then song end and the DJ announce Thelma Houston - You Used to Hold Me So Tight produced by Jam & Lewis.To me that confirmed them as the greatest producer in R&B history.
