Ten City - That's The Way Love is

[Nkeno]

Pasadenas !! Tribute... Also heard them first on "Sounds on Saturday" in Zim back in 88 or whatever.

Great music !

[MrBigs72]

The quality is horrible.

[fidoeinstein]

Sylvester and Divine would say Byron tore it up!

[Nkeno]

Heard this song for the first time when I was about 7 or 8 in Zimbabwe !!! Dope song !! Brings back memories. Sometimes you wish you could just rewind the days man....

[tonitone82]

@Nkeno For real?! I heard it just about the same time too, growing up in Harare! Those were the days...they just don't make music the way they used to back in the good ol' days. Throw in a bit of the Pasadenas too!

[themisterof99]

I've never heard this version and all I can say is "ooooooh Sh!t" One of my all time favourites no doubt. Found this in a record store in AZ and had no idea who Ten City was until I flew back to California and heard it. Best record I've ever bought.

[TheBodyBuilder2012]

oh shit i remember this jam..back in the day...

[ballershanelle]

im sure gmccall will say rap music was NOT invented in new york or by blacks either. he's a raw dog and being gay...makes me proud to be alive during the beg. of three huge music genres ..rap & house & go-go

[OtomoTenzi]

Yeargh, these niggas could sure as hell sing 'n dance... : P

How do we classify this kinda music as; GHETTOTECH or HOODHOUSE???

[parparparparparpar]

gay or not gay invention, House music is the best music ever created

[momomowwwp]

すごく癖になる曲ですね

[susannanyc]

OH SO GOOOOD! Just a great song...

[INDIEJOL]

Its too think the guy doing the drums on this track (Earl Young), did drums on most of the Philly Soul of the Seventies (All Manhattans Tracks, Blue Magic, Harlod Melvin & The Blue Notes, the Ojays, etc)

[gibbo909]

This mix is for gay boys, search for the acid mix of this track.

[fiercefunky]

@gibbo909 Gay boys invented this music son. Without gay boys there'd be no house or acid or techno or electro. You'd all be sitting around trying to jam out to a country album if it wasn't for gay boys, so respect the hand that feeds you.

[gmccall22]

@fiercefunky. House music is not an invention. House is derived from Disco. Saying gays have some sort of patent on House Music is fuckin stupid 

[fiercefunky]

@gmccall22 Giorgio Moroder, Larry Levan, Ron Hardy, Jim Burgess, Frankie Knuckles... Even the term ''house'' comes from The Warehouse, the GAY nightclub where house music was born. Do your fucking research because I've been on this shit before you were fucking born. And what?

[gmccall22]

@fiercefunky. Again, something derived is not an invention. DERIVED being the operative word...The Jersey sound or Club music as we call it is derived from disco and soul music. We don't claim to have a patent on it. If you been on this shit before i was born, you should know more about it

[fiercefunky]

@gmccall22 I know everything about it boy, and inventions can come from elements of pre- existing entities. Just because an ipod has elements of a portable cd player which had elements of a walkman doesn't mean they weren't invented. Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb but he based it on Joseph Swan's carbon filament ''light bulb.'' He still gets credit for his invention. Before you embarrass yourself further I should warn you I have a Masters of Law and win arguments for a living.

[gmccall22]

@fiercefunky . Music itself is the invention, all genres...TECHNICALLY Edison didn't invent shit. Thanks for indirectly proving my point. There was an on going debate about who invented Rap music. People were rapping for centuries, not calling it rap. ...Gays came up with the NAME House at best...And i don't particularly care for your life story

[fiercefunky]

@gmccall22 I don't particularly care for your life. But that doesn't change the fact that a gay man invented the 4-4 beat at a gay club for gay patrons, and that very beat structure is the definition of house. You lose again.

[gmccall22]

@fiercefunky .. If you read the origins of house/club music CAREFULLY you'll see that gays inventing it is not carved in stone. It's self proclaimed . You'd rather believe whatever suits your argument, which is not an effective way of debating. And know what a fact is before you use the word fact....

[fiercefunky]

@gmccall22 No. It is. It is carved in stone. EVERYONE who was a player back then agrees. It originated in The Warehouse and spread to Paradise Garage and club NRG, The Saint, Limelight and Ice House on Fire Island. Then it got picked up and expanded on by straight black producers from Chicago, then it moved across to the UK. But there is no debate. There is no dissent or disagreement. Gay men invented house music. You're like a holocaust or global warming denier; ignorant and full of shit.

[gmccall22]

@fiercefunky .That's a weak ass methodology. And how the hell do you say "EVERYONE" being in agreement as being carved in stone ? Agreeing is an opinion, corresponding .Maybe Everyone in your little circle agrees. Some consider the Jersey Sound as being house music and it didn't come from gay folk. Gays may have made up the NAME house music at best. House/Club/Jersey Sound are technically Disco...And I never attempted to tell you my life story. You're a weak ignoramus

[fiercefunky]

@gmccall22 Let's see, aside from the gay producers already mentioned let's add Juan Atkins, Jesse Saunders, Farley Jackmaster Funk, Steve Hurley, Kevin Saunderson, Derrick May, Lil Louis, Paul Oakenfold, Pete Tong, Danny Rampling, Danny Tenaglia, Roger Sanchez, Armand Van Helden, David Morales, Junior Vasquez, DJ Sneak, Green Velvet... ALL of these pioneers acknowledge that house started off in the gay clubs. Most of these DJs began their careers in gay clubs so go fuck yourself homophobic fool.

[gmccall22]

@fiercefunky Homophobic fool ? HAHA..Now you're making assumptions about me, just the same as you are about house music invention...I don't recalled saying anything disrespectful about gays. And you say you have a degree in what ? Okey Dokey...You know nothing about the art of persuasion let alone music..

[fiercefunky]

@gmccall22 UM, you are actually. If I said house music was inventer by Americans, you wouldn't have a problem with that. If I said it was invented by men you wouldn't take issue. You're only taking issue with it because it's gay men who invented house and for whatever reason, ...that reason being homophobia, you have to make unfounded, bullshit, ignorant statements of disagreement. I've given you the specific names of the gay men who invented house. Where's your examples to the contrary?

[eddietheturdburglar]

@fiercefunky FUCK OFF FAGBALLS

[gmccall22]

@eddietheturdburglar..LOL...Du­de is a fuckin cake boy

[eddietheturdburglar]

@gmccall22 Yep,And you can be my Bitch Cunt Bollox,so get on your Knees.

[gmccall22]

@eddietheturdburglar..I was referring to fiercefunky as being a cake boy., however, Inviting another man to your dick makes you the faggot

[fiercefunky]

@gmccall22 "The fact that house got started in the gay clubs makes it tough for some of them to deal with it." - Frankie Knuckles.

[qtips3]

[grish76]

I was probably 13 or 14 when I had this on tape. In regular Walkman rotation for the ride to school. Shout out to 88.1 WCRX in Chicago, college radio for Columbia College, they used to play a lot of house and hip hop back in the day.

[loosestudios]

Drumer from MFSB

Earl Young ( who rose to prominence in the early 1970s as part of the Philly Soul sound. Worked with Ronnie Baker and Norman Harris in Baker/Harris/Young productions. The trio also performed and recorded as The Trammps and had a hit record with "Disco Inferno". Young is seen as the inventor of the disco style of rock drumming, as he was the first to make extensive and distinctive use of the Hi Hat cymbal throughout the playing time of an R & B recording
