[ewilliewildkits89]

I also grew up listening to N.E. and i still listen to them.

[sandrodiosi]

Amazing song... I need an instrumental of this classic... Please help anyone! ;)

[djbillygee]

FUNKIER THAN A MOSQUITOS TWEETER..THE SUN COMES UP SUN GOES DOWN AND THATS THE WAY IT GOES ONLY HAPPENS ONCE IN A LIFETIME CAN YOU DIG IT?..MESSES WITH MY HEAD..

[oskamadison]

Anyone who was in the NY area around '87; do y'all remeber a blend that Red Alert did with this accapella and the Public Enemy no. 1 bonus beat?

[TheAIDEM]

@oskamadison i'm trying to find that version...this DJ played it at the Steve Arrington show in Brooklyn not too long ago and I been on the hunt ever since

[oskamadison]

@TheAIDEM Yo, I FOUND IT!!!! Google "Once In A Lifetime Groove (HotDay Master Mix). It took me right to it. I've been listening to it every other day since.

[TheAIDEM]

@oskamadison You just made my day...good looking out

[oskamadison]

@TheAIDEM Ain't nothin' but a thang, cat daddy!

[tmac29nyc]

@oskamadison i hear it the other day when i got off the 2 train on 174 st in the BX

[oskamadison]

@tmac29nyc Somebody still keepin' it alive...that's what's up!!

[traceyricksfoster]

I LOVED THIS SONG! Had this version! This was the JAM!

[gbolagade100]

Too Much!!had searched for this a long time!!!refreshing.

[helliemark]

I love this song.. reminds me of growing up and going out with my sister... 

[mocha6767]

I agree with the other commenter. This was definitely underrated. Because out of all their songs they made this was my favorite. Hands down. It was popular when I was in college in 86.

[chronwell]

I heard this on a old NYC blend tape but I didnt know who sang it. I was 9 in '86 and was more into Fat Boys and Run DMC back then. Tough tune tho!

[nalumali]

@chronwell Is it the blend tape where this mixed with Redman and Busta's Da Goodness? That was a good blend.

[nubihotepamun]

R.I.P Great Gregory Hines.

[magres2006]

I'm so sad remembering that he's not here again. A great dancer and not only...In heaven you're still dancing with angels...

[Picture111]

I believe that this is a Rod Temperton composition which seems to big for the then teeny boppers of New Edition to handle.

[76discodolly]

I love this version of the song . This should have been one of thier #1 hits

[EffeLipper]

grande pezzo

[sognaremavivere]

[gentifrankie]

I think about sale my vinyls records but.... Can I really sale that tune.....

[LilPimpEsse]

Anyone got download link?

[LGKids]

Thanks for posting the version I grew up hearing and dancing and singing to! NE had the world on lock back in the day and if you ask my opinion, they still do! Peace to all their fans that know the b-sides,  the extended remixes and the jams on the albums and cd's that where the jam to you and so many other fans(Baby Love, just for starters)!LOL! And peace!

[neselul]

was a big hit in the EXPOSE night club in jerusalem Israel!!!

[76discodolly]

I love this song. I remember when this song came out and what I was doing. Thank God for the internet b/c I googled the words and it gave me the title and name of the artist. I thought it was by New Edition but I wasn't sure b/c they never sing this song. Sing this boys b/c I LOVE IT!!!! MY LOVE IS A ONCE TIME IN A LIFE TIME GROOVE. Yea Boy!!!
