[eikie021]

Dit is zo een geweldigde muziek. Tijdloos ook in 2011. Het maakt herinneringen aan die tijd weer los.

[fawli86]

My dad has this album which is why I was exposed to this awesome music during my early childhood days. I kept on wondering why I know the words or at least the beat, it's because my parents were listening to this while my mother was pregnant with me.

[crisso68]

beatiful song

[gr8elom8]

the tune of AlWays.

[JoanCollins2009]

joan collins love this pish

[ist7788]

nice music!

[MalcaratMartinez]

My favourite track of this album, which I would possibly call my favourite among all the Shakatak CD's........it brings back tons of good memories. I have one or 2 "shakatak sounding" own tunes in my channel, should you feel curious to check.......

[Tom3030]

@MalcaratMartinez what songs are that ? :-)

[MalcaratMartinez]

@Tom3030 I have one called The Elevator Song :), unfortunately I haven't vocals like Jill's

[Tom3030]

@MalcaratMartinez nice one, found it now, sounds quite good :-)

Is this your own song / production ?

[MalcaratMartinez]

@Tom3030 Yes it is, it was just to show how much of an influential band Shakatak can be, glad you liked it ..... I have more or less the full discography on vinyl, although I'm missing all those japanese releases....

[MalcaratMartinez]

@Tom3030 there's a song called "The Elevator Song" in my channel who sounds a bit Shakatak-ish :)

[ariffothman]

simply amazing. thanks Tom

[SuperstarNeilC]

Had this on purple vinyl limited edition <3

[MrNooneseesme]

Shakatak freakin rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrock. Best of their kind and still timeless

[CoolDaddy03]

Nice track, as a kid I saved money to buy the single, those where the days...

[CharlyGanja]

I love to think of titles while listening to the track.

I try to receive the transmission of music and interpret it according to the title.

great claim is to seek to know the artist in this way.

But these large groups, always gives me that feeling of night, inspired in the dark

city.

And I love their music and their ideas as their own because I love the city at night. I love night

[MrEskay62]

that is nice song tha time i use turn table tolisten the song

[TheMattgfc1893]

i miss sue so much

[Mrginguel]

creo que este fue mi primerdisco de shakatak y como dicen ,,,,el primer amor no se olvida

[whojanickabollokoff]

thats nuffin. every morning my dog woke up her would sing Green Green Grass of home and every night he went to sleep he would hum Delilah. I took him to the vet an dhe reckons he got Tom Jones syndrome. I said will he die from it and he replied its not unusual

[taffino]

Cant believe it, my dog ate a shakatak cd but started barking the song "easier said than done", even dancing in an 80's doggy style whilst barking it and to top it off he had a doggy kind of mullet 80's hair style. Its true, he sadly died getting run over by an icecream van but thats 80's icecream vans for you they always drove too fast playing 3 blind mice loud on the tannoy.

[MrTonedeff]

i had the record album in 84' loved it then sold albums to buy cd ,s failed to replace it sadly .now it,s available on amazon for stupid money.! i had down on the street to same thing with that.lovely blonde jill on vocals like manhattan transfer sexy ladies with great voices!!

[higrademan101]

sound really takin me back

[miamivicepastels83]

i like this....i vaguely remember the jazz station here in ATL playing shakatak....this is a nice album...but this song really has a nice vocal/smooth jazz mix

[TheYolina]

[kelsud]

Geniales, a mas no poder, socio...

[TheYolina]

más bien socia, gracias

[kelsud]

Perdón por el error...glups! jejejeje

[TheOldmarlow]

yeah mate,likely story..."just wandering around soho"im sure you were

[SALTYWOOFHOUND]

@TheOldmarlow oo-er missus, er hmm,

Very likely tale indeed.

[pix042]

Yes, metalbearuk, is perhaps talking about a black 'lady of the night' in Soho. 'Dark' is the night. Red light, dark night.

[metalbearuk]

This track got me into Shakatak.

I was wandering around Soho in London, this was blasting out from a neon lit bar,there was a girl and a heavy on the door, and it just seemed so right.

The whole album this is taken from is superb too.

[bean9seventy]

great chourus ,,

but it drifts a bit ,,,

[henrymadman14]

Bean, we seem to share a similar taste, how about : Al Hudson, Spread Love.

[bean9seventy]

well i have a few requests,," incognito"

if the bass line is good i will get round to it

[bean9seventy]

wow

[earlscourtsw10]

my next door neighbour's cousin used to work in a shop opposite the house of the lead guitarist's brother. She never actually met him though, although she saw him once.

[5z096]

i miss all this stuff

[yorkie6687]

You and me both, I was in South of

France lazing about when this came out,

Wonderfull memories,good times.

5z.

[manlikepanda]

Tom3030 Classic post man. My god brings back some memories. I used to adore the base line their songs

[treeZon1]

mmaaaddd sample material....once again thank you tom3030....postin quality shit up man

[superstrut75]

I remember my uncle having this on an old 80's audio cassette. great song. i also remember the neighbours dog eating the cassette and then barking 'dark is the night' after it. i kid you not...

[Tom3030]

You gotta be kidding me, barking Dark is the night ? lol *S*

Anyways good one haha.

[Buuuuuutch]

@Tom3030 You mean Bark is the night? lol

[Tom3030]

@Buuuuuutch he was a respond to that guy above saying his dog ate the cassette with this song and then barking "dark is the night" after it lol

[yorkie6687]

You're nuts mate, more please,sausages.

HA!HA!HA!

[threechicken]

I bet it sounded ruff....sasssssssagessss....

[SALTYWOOFHOUND]

@superstrut75

Does he have a paws button too?

[pix042]

@SALTYWOOFHOUND Superstrut75 is from Barking, Essex. They are quite mad from that part of the world. This is known.

[pix042]

@superstrut75 the dog was barking in the usual way that dogs do and, sad at losing the tape, your uncle only thought his mutt was barking the eponymous words. if you or I burped in a certain way it would sound like the name of the Span ish footballer Raul.

[superstrut75]

@pix042 MY MATE USED TO DO DESIGNER BURPS. HIS FAVOURITES WERE 'RALPH LAUREN' AND 'LACOSTE'

[Bryteraven]

@superstrut75 hehehehe that's a classic story man, hehehe

[superstrut75]

@Bryteraven They played Dark Is The Night at the dogs funeral as a mark of respect. I can still see the curtains closing in the crematorium with Shakatak blaring through the PA.

[lorret90]

this is my favourite shakayak tune british jazzfunk at its best!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yorkie6687]

Try listening to Brazillian Dawn then

One of their best, stunning.

[pix042]

Stunning stuff.

[shakataksmothjazz]

That pretty song! like being able to forget those sounds the Shakatak grouping, with the beautiful voice of the gorgeous Jill Saward! this song is of five stars!

[Tom3030]

Yep the instrumental songs are great also, I dont mind when they have a little vocal aswell.

[JKHeights]

Typical Shakatak tune. This one is okay with great vocals, but I like the instrumentals even more.
