I 'discovered' Don Omar on vacation in San Juan in 2009, the Virtual Diva video was in heavy rotation there. I bought the iDon CD in Old San Juan and I have been hooked ever since! I know he has stuff before but I am biased, I think iDon is his best effort!!!

I remember now! YOU STEPPED INTO MY LIFE by Melba Moore went after this! Pitch Control on turntables was/is a genius invention!

The bassist killed it on this jam! 1979 was my last year/summer in New York, joined the Navy. Sold all my vinyl (HUGE MISTAKE!!!!!!) and equipment for $200!

This song is imprinted in my mind as one of the jamz of Summer 2011. I grilled every Sunday from July 11 to Labor Day and this was in heavy rotation. Smooth cut! Nice to hear something positive and HONEST for a change!

This is the closest I've found to the Original 8.12 Version, GREAT POST! 1978! Hamilton Bohanon ruled in New York! South African Man, Foot Stompin' Music, I had this 12" on the Mercury label, definitely a basement party classic! Although this was disco, you heard this in the parks and at block pa...

I can remember when those other tracks were actually in use! Uh, sorry to disappoint you spainoner, but the old 'Myrtle Avenue el' was the 'MJ' line - meaning Myrtle-Jay, the last stop being Bridge Street-Jay Street. It was discontinued in 1969. I was able to see it run from my apartment on the 1...

And here I thought I was NYC subway buff!!! MAN! I remember all these! The last one on the right was one of the ugliest designs I had ever seen with the slanted front.

Another AVI Disco classic from Rinder and Lewis!!! PROPS TO LORY73 FOR THE LONG VERSION POST!!!

To @gus4CHRIST: Hudde JHS/240 and Murrow for me. I was @ NYCCC when this came out.

mrtonod: I remember the multi-levels and looking down on the crowds!

WHOA!!! BIG UPS FOR THIS POST! Heard this on 89.3/WRFG a couple of months back for the first time and fell in love! It was on the Reggae program Rockers International, a HOT Saturday afternoon while toolin' around in my garage. It was the spelling of her name that was throwing me off! VERY NICE T...

The documentary by Michael Rappaport on these guys was cool, it's unfortunate what happened. Being born under the sign of Aries, I can see why Q-Tip was the way he was/is. Natural born leaders, they expect loyalty from those closest to them and when you disappoint/hurt them, they are DONE with you

I live in the ATL now, I remember hearing this when I came back home on 98.7Kiss in the fall of '94 (got it on cassette someplace) and could never find out who this was until I heard him on the Tupac vs. Biggie Freestyle from '95. This kid had crazy skillz and yeah, the '90s was T H E last decade...

Not only is this jam a disco classic, it is TRULY A NEW YORK CITY CLASSIC!!! You could hear the break for BLOCKS walking the streets from park to park that summer!!!

AW MAAAAN!!!! Where's the "AND I SUPPOSE YOU THOUGHT IT WAS ALL OVER? No-no-no-no"???? I know, YouTube has a time limit of ten minutes. There are 15 min jams (Superrhyme) that won't have the entire version. At any rate, I have NO problem being in my early 50s, I DO have a problem with EuroDisco n...

WOW!!! I came across this a few days ago while gathering all my disco classics in YouTube I had on vinyl, I was listening to Lust from Seven Deadly Sins (check my post when you have time, sir! I even mentioned the record at the time that was a great mix behind Lust, where the bassline right where...

I don't even know where to begin with this post!!! It was a HUGE deal when the original version came out in 1973 and people (not DJs yet!) would just set speakers in their windows in the projects (like LG) and play this over and over, the 'hard rocks' with their Kangols, tank t-shirs, gabardine p...

To bevanddyke: Atlanta/ATL/The 'A'

WOW!!! It took some time for me to track this down in YouTube but I FIANLLY found it!!! MAJOR PROPS on the post Afroman! I also had this LP and a LOT of EuroDisco, Cerrone, Giorgio (the man who made Donna Summer THE disco queen), Don Ray, Munich Machine, Love and Kisses, Kraftwerk...brings back M...

MAJOR PROPS ON THE LONG VERSION POST!!!! This was one of the NYC classic 'Park Jams' you would hear walking the streets in Brooklyn. MAN! This

takes me back!!! I can close my eyes and think of all the GREAT times in 1975

when this came out. In fact, I can hear Hank Spann announcing this on WWRL'...

To 1985OldSkool: This was the first hit to get national exposure/airplay. Up until this, the Commodores were a regional group (see my post at I Feel Sanctified). They weren't heard (much) outside of the South on radio.

WOW! The Commodores back then was a regional group, summers in the early to mid-70s my siblings and I were 'sent' south (NC) and we would hear songs like this and some Bar-Kays from my cousins, we would buy the 45s and 'import' them back to New York. Brings back memories of the parties in the com...

The former Miss Donna Baines of Boston, Massachussettes. Moved to Munich, Germany at the age of eighteen and the rest, as they say, is history. MAJOR props to Giorgio Moroder for bringing the European disco sound to the United States! Trivia note: Donna's first few LPs were on Oasis Records, a la...

PrinceWilliams25, if it weren't for the original version (circa 1978, from the soundtrack The Greatest/the movie about Muhammad Ali), Whitney would have

one less masterpiece to cover.

This just went off on THE ONLY jazz station in Atlanta. What memories! I was living in what is called the 'Seven Cities' now - Hampton Roads area when this came out. Norfolk State's station WNSB/92.1 played this every night! I believe it was before sign-off. The vocalist on this song was inspirar...
