Sparque - Let's Go Dancin'

[ranus42]

I can hear this on the garage speakers right now, the dance floor would be packed when Larry put this on and the kids would just go crazy. Back in those days one thought the Garage would be around forever. I'm so glad I got to experience and was part of this whole era of music. Funny how back then blacks,whites,latinos, gays and straight people all partied under one roof, nowadays that is unheard of what happened or what went wrong?

[Laytonia1977]

Four people don't know how to groove :)

[MrMixbyalex]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FIGHTSEEN]

This song-as cool as it is-would have trouble making it today...because club kids have become rythmless poseurs standing against walls and/or frontin' in V.I.P. sections.

[cleanerfloors]

Is this song like perfect or what!

[dawn220]

I close my eyes and imagine dancing on that sand impacted wooden dance floor at 84 King St, I thought it would never end... ahhh!

[dolphus32]

Ahhhh! What great memories this song brings to mind. Sauers fall 81. Backyard summer parties... Life was and is GREAT!

[stewbie59]

Frankie worked this cut at the Warehouse! Chi-Town house music STILL lives!

[glotzu]

C'est moi ou cette chanson fait mal? TRÈS MAL.

[donkeydick11]

wrong hassan, it is from 1982-1989, if you stop at 83, you miss out on ex[pose and cover girls along with many others

[stewbie59]

...and that's the time when we feel alright!

[metsjetsny]

Shake you ass break your back kind of music. This was when a party was a party. Today kids stand on the floor and you have no room to move.

[CelesteHart]

I was 15 in 1981 New York and wasn't allowed in clubs (i went anyway a few times) but we often took the subway on week ends with huge ghetto blasters to the beach

Does anyone remember that radio station 92 KTU? Or the "Mystic" club?

Well anyway i'm just happy to read your comments; so it wasn't just a beautiful dream, it was beautiful AND real ; )

[tsoliz22]

@CelesteHart

Yes I remember. 92 KTU had Paco, Al Bandiro and some others. Frankie Crocker was on BLS. I was 17 in 1981 and went to roller rinks mostly. Week ends took the box (ghetto blaster) on the subway to Coney Island (playing it, of course). Guardian Angels (patrolling the trains) used to like my tunes and let me play them. This particular tune would be one of my motivators before going out to parties. Wow, you hit so much right on the head. Those were feel good days! :))

[hassan1814]

@CelesteHart yes i remember 92ktu with the spanish looking dj who then later hosted new york hot trax on tv. i also remember madonna was only getting played on black radio back then

[giorgioadams]

Friday Nite theme song! Gawd this brings back memories. I try to tell people about it and they think I'm Nutts.

Long Live King St.

[doubleolove]

Very similar melody to Fantasy's "You're Too Late" from a year before. A Great Summer jam from '81 nonetheless.

Another one that's even harder to find Good Times .. in Spanish. Heard it one time while

relaxing in the summer heat from somebody's

box.

[JonasJudah]

Damn this beat is not easy to find since it doesn't get radio play, '81 memories ..

This and BBQ band, Stephanie Mills (Put your body in it) was rocking at that time in The Bronx.

Thank you

[bigdoe3]

This is what music is about. The feeling you get when you first here a record should take you to a place that feels good. thats this good music right here, yall know. Keep it alive 4ever

[hotfriday]

I think 84 and 85 was still some good sound around. But in 85 the technical things came on the floor. I remember as a young DJ when this hard snare drums became so popular. I hated them always. I like a good groove. A fine bass player. Soul feeling and rhythm...

Yes there were the times.... and we danced...

Singers today dont need a voice just a sexy body to do some stupid porno vids. Music is not in the foreground. But I am shure. Today some good music is still around. But hard to seperate..

[jeffreyBboy]

AMEN HASSAN 1814, i TOTALY AGREE WITH YOU I WAS A YOUNG TEEN IN THE EARLY 80'S AND I LOVED DANCE MUSIC, IT WAS JUST THE BEST, BEST, BEST OF TIMES, MY PARENTS WOULD HAVE SLAMMIN BASEMENT PARTIES AND THEY WOULD HAVE ME DANCE FOR OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, UNITL THEY SAID TAKE YOUR A-- TO BED. SMILE AAAAHHH.... THE GOOD OLE DAYS

[hassan1814]

by far the best dance music ever was that short span between 1980-1983. funny at the time disco was supposedly dead and r and b was not selling. i guessed it forced artists to be extra creative unlike nowadays when r and b is selling but there is no talent; no creativity. rappers cant rap, singers cant sing and the current production is crap. no melody to arangement just music that all sound like commericial jingles.

[Britnney1021]

Hassan, I can`t agree with you enough..This was the time for what I call R and B dance music..

[chewynuts2003]

@hassan1814

I agree with hassan1814. What else makes the post-disco, 80-83 club/dance music great, versus other eras? I'm a NYC native... I was a teenager like many of the posters here, with similar memories. But, the 75-79 disco generation probably feels the dance music of their time was the best (and I love most of the classic disco tracks). I started DJing parties on this music - - these tracks will always keep me bopping.

[CookyMonzta]

@hassan1814 Welcome to the 21st century. The worst part of it is, those of us who were in our teens and 20s back in the 1980s were at least curious about the music of the 1960s. Kids today, they more or less don't give a fuck about the music of the '80s. 20 years down the road, these kids will most likely have a much harder time trying to make sense out of the music of the 2000s (specifically, from '02 onward, when I believe the wheels finally fell off) than we do with the 1980s.

[dirtyedna]

@CookyMonzta ...boy are you right about that...today the DJ's are the stars, not the music (forgettable as most of it is now)...there are a few, but most of the young kids today (that I know) are so far removed from the roots of the "movement" they just can't imagine a place like the Paradise Garage or the Loft...not to mention the "underground" atmosphere we partied in,and I go back to the early 70's. Too Bad (for them) Too Bad for us ( we're getting old...YUCK)

[port2344chester]

@dirtyedna You deserve a thousand hand claps... Cooky Monzta & yourself hit the nail onits head...BRAVO!

[CookyMonzta]

@port2344chester And you know something: I never went to a club (I can't dance). But every night, at bedtime, I always had my radio on ('BLS, 'KTU or Kiss) to listen to music like this as I fell asleep. I soaked it up like a sponge. I was 15 when this song hit the record store racks, and was starting to build a collection of my own. I was at least curious about the music of my infancy.

[port2344chester]

@CookyMonzta Thats fine ... you got soul thats what matters most!

Just too recall BLS,KTU & Kiss speaks volumes. Exp the movement @ a local block party, cookout, rollerink is/was just as special as the clubs...even if the youth of 2day get n2 clubs @ 15yrs of age. Nothing will ever compare to the tunes of yesteryear!

[CookyMonzta]

@port2344chester I'd bet good horse money that, if you asked any 15-year-old today about the music that existed in 1995, the majority of responses you're likely to get could be summed up with one word: "DUUUHHHH!" Unlike us, today's youth are far less concerned about anything BUT the here and now. And THAT is sad.

[dirtyedna]

@port2344chester  LUV U !!

[port2344chester]

@dirtyednaThis music moves mountains its like i tell my dghter all the time if disco music was/is so bad why r so many car&ph commercials using disco classics 4 background music well2sell their prod &2make$.

Go figure we sure didnt party back in the day4the love of money & neither did majority of the artists.It was done4the passion&love we got from classic soulful heartfelt tunes.We were considerd the adopted music..underground.Black, Latino, gay poor peoples music.Long live the disco movement

[port2344chester]

@CookyMonzta Well said CookyMonzta!

[CookyMonzta]

@port2344chester From my viewpoint, most people (like myself) who were born in the 1950s and '60s (or earlier) were at least curious about the music of that age when they were in high school. Same, I would say, for people born in the '70s being curious about the music of that era while they were in HS. High-schoolers born in the '80s, maybe a little interest in '80s music but not nearly as much as those who came before them.

[CookyMonzta]

@port2344chester And like I said before, I don't see very many kids today (most of whom were born in the '90s) having any interest in the music of the '90s, or earlier. Again, I imagine 20 years from now, these kids, who will be in their late-30s and 40s, will ask themselves, "What the WERE we listening to?" So much of what has come down the pike lately has become far more forgettable than anything that came before 2000.

[CookyMonzta]

@port2344chester And I imagine that you have had to ask yourself "What the hell are THEY listening to?" these days.

[lefreak79]

@hassan1814 WELL, I TEND TO DISAGREE THERE. THE BEST MUSIC WAS FROM THE LATE 70'S TO ABOUT 1981. THAT TIME ALSO WAS ALSO THE HEIGHT OF THE SEXUAL REVOLUTION. THE TIME FROM 1982 ON WAS WHEN AIDS CAME IN, DISCO WAS JUST ABOUT DEAD AND NEW WAVE AND PUNK WAS FLYING IN. THE BACK BEAT WAS HEAVY AND THE SMOOTHNESS WAS GONE. THAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 70'S AND THE 80'S. THE GROOVE WAS HARSHER, NO STRINGS, HEAVY BACK BEAT. IT WAS OBNOXIOUS. ANYWAY, THAT'S THE WAY I FEEL.

DISCO AL

[MrDjZOS]

@lefreak79 I,m with you le freak , Late 70,s till about 82 was the best Era..... Luved it 4 sure.

[ziggy08080]

@lefreak79 ........AL that's true. I always missed the lack of strings and horns in the early 80's. But, this was a gradual decline. Mainstream media took disco away by 1980. True disco followers started to listen to R&B stations that played really good music from about 80-83. In my case, we went from Fascinating Rhythem WCAU 98 to WDAS 105.3 in Philadelphia.

[ziggy08080]

@hassan1814..... one of the best comments I ever read...... which sums it beautifully my friend. I've been saying this for the last 25 years. Those were years, 80-83, I was in HS. I had the radio on every night. Music was the best.

[Therealanimale]

@hassan1814

Fantastic song.

But not mentioning 1984 if u mention the best dance music ever, is only telling half the story, my best man...

1984 is considered by many as the epifany considering dancemusic, popmusic, artists who never made dancemusic but decided to try becaurse videoclips were booming, moviestars that decided to sing (and vice versa) and instantly scored hits, old molochs who peaked one last time before retiring.... And finally the transition between analogue and digital..

[abhcvn72]

Great dance and rollerskating joint. Ahhh the good ol' days.

[68NYC]

I remember this one-

Boom boxes were everywhere in the 80's.

~What a flashback this is...

~Thanks!!

[waxwarrior03]

tuff jam!

[talldrink9]

Classic tune. Memories at the Power Plant with Frankie Knuckles, Craig L. Craig & Kevin A. Rodney. Andre H. Michael W. Great memories. Thanx

[jamessound]

This is the jam!

[reshaping]

thanks!

[bgdk9]

This song still sounds hot!!! Is this song available on cd?

[gingernyc]

Nothing beats being alive and dancing to this songs in New York in the 80's

[discoguy79]

yes i agree, but before 1985, that was the best time

[sblizzy]

Wow!! This was back in the day!!
