[leashyable]

They'll NEVER, WON'T & CAN'T make music like the 80's....END OF AN ERA..!! WHAT A SHAME..!!

[hardcorehouse]

@leashyable Actually there IS music like this being made regularly, but it's off the radar and requires one to either dig for it or find a good DJ!

[nihilius32]

Used to mix this one with the acapella beginning of  'Padlock' by Gwen Guthrie

[wittytee]

U should've known better!!!  Classic!

[1bklynsaint]

Hypnotic beat.  Should have known better. Good post!

[CookyMonzta]

Oh, I remember this one. Last I checked, he was from the U.K., and in 1985 the U.K. blew up the R&B world big-time, from T.C. to Loose Ends, to Five Star, to Princess, to Total Contrast, to O'Chi Brown, and so on. Even U.S.-born Phyllis Nelson (R.I.P.) had her biggest hit there that year.

[Slo912]

WOW!! This is the BEAT!!

YEA!!

Awesome Post!

Thank You!

[tapz1972]

He is my father in law :)

Absolutely fantastic!

[HungLikeSaddam]

from 4:50 - 6:59 the guy turns into an animal and in which he seems to do a michael jackson impression with the hiccups and a james brown repetition of words. Fantastic!

[Irockgswift]

Deandreams has all the lost cuts from back in the day.

[oldpatton]

[paparizzi311]

[kobe10uk]

[daneby1]

The dub is the one for me its sounds amazing still and i have 3 copys i have picked up over a few years

[koolfraser]

paradise garage forever

[ceilings69]

this is what 80's music was all about upbeat and all so easy to dance to ! takes me back to such good times long live the 80,s groove !

[faft1981]

You had to hear Larry play this in Paradise...it may have been better than sex!!!

[kobe10uk]

love this trax tear up the dance floor lol

[RICHIE0195]

This charted in 1985, T C Curtis, a Jamaican Londoner was even on TV back then (Solid Soul) and it is great to hear this song again. This was before the R&B chart ever became overrun with hip hop acts. Bring back the soul.

[egmjag]

I heard this song only once for a few minutes during a mix and that was in 1990 on a Paris dance station while I was traveling there. I always thought that it was early 80s. Funny how different it sounds than when I first heard it.

[Chicagomack1]

The version you heard is by SKRATCH SHOULD OF KNOWN BETTER,check out my page i have it posted

[Chicagomack1]

LISTEN TO MY VERSION -----BY SKRATCH

[egmjag]

I looked for your version on your page but couldn't find it. Tell me where to look.

[jmadtoyou]

Classic! Thanks for posting!

[hercegferdi]

[uddede]

Geweldige tunes,deandreams. Ik ga helemaal terug in de tijd. ''Robinson Videotheek''.

Je hebt echt toppers van de jaren 80.

Thnks

[murraybrodie444]

this was in the day when we were cool!

[snozq]

i would have said horizon

[DJdefcon4]

talkin of back in the day pirates - may have been SOLAR or JFM - LWR was the joint though...!

[lammylama]

i remember all them stations....spent my life listening to all of these...brilliant.....what happened to this music

[robbieallan4]

you sure it was lwr and not horizon or starpoint

[BTEXPRESS1000]

Yeah Horizon was on air when this came out. Just mean I remember hearing it first on LWR. Starpoint came abit later in 86 if my memory serves me correct

[ricke69]

I love seeing references to the 80's pirate radio stations. LWR, TKO, Horizon, the list goes on... They WERE the days ! Man I badly miss that era...

[tapz1972]

Yeah i remember horizon back in the day lol...I used to bombard whoever was playin with requests for the smurf lol...Leyton Massive Bo!!!

[hamzajaun]

wicked tune just started gong out whos the artist as any one done a remix

[ceilings69]

cant believe i've found this on YOU TUBE what a true classic . made an "old" man very happy great post

[cyberseb333]

I love this tune !

[BTEXPRESS1000]

Have loved this track since I first heard if way back in early 1985 on LWR 92.5FM probably on the Mark Mason breakfast show. Does anyone remember???

[ricke69]

Yes dude, I remember! This was one of those choons being bashed by all the pirates AND the Radio London soul night out with Tony Blackburn.

[hardcorehouse]

@ricke69 This track was clearly intended to have that NYC vibe, knowing that this would make it happen at the Garage NYC and elsewhere. What can i tell you NYC was the center of the dance world 75-85 until Chicago bit them and renamed it "house".
