the pointer sisters have had hits in every genre, starting in be-bop & jazz , branching into r&b, disco, rock, pop, & even country! WORK!!! bitches work!

rest in peace jimmy ellis lead vocalist & adlib extraordinaire. thanks u for so many wonderful disco songs like this one.

LOL... i had to fulfill that groove flashbaCK THE NEXT DAY. went in my bassment & put it on the tables & had it boooooming. beat it up for about 20 mins, sweat it out. & decompressed. oh hell yeah i got off!!!

had a yearnin & decided to try for it on u-tube, rather than go to my basement. this used to set the club off. i nealry lost my mind dancing to this song in phillys catacombs, one night. thanks for postin this.

its a bit telling about the character of some beings, that a song as beautiful as this can solicit such negative energy, hostility, & drama among presumed civilized people... hmmm..? how does that happen? some folks will be forever stuck in glass half-empty lives... such a shame.

jus one more time folks.... if u like this song get your hands on the entire full length cd, 2001 release, "simple things," it will slay YOU...

owwww shiit!!! satisfaction guaranteed.....

easily my favorite pleasure lp. very under rated indeed. i can remember getting this from the record pool, listening to it at home hardly be able to wait for the weekend to bang it. at least 3 songs on it including this used to blow my floor up. one was "now u choose me," jus bangs so hard

nice alternative but nothing can beat the slammin vocal arrangement o this songs original version.

PEOPLE... PPEOPLE. this is the 7" single version. the lp version was at least twicw as long, w/ a killer percussion break that used to be a blackout the floor moment. very big in many underground clubs back then like, garage, loft, clubhouse(dc), catacombs(pa), catch one(la), carousel (md) etc......

wow... sweet sweet remix. much props to the remixer... breath taking job!

OH YES!!!! they used to carry me away with this version. the whole lp is the shiiiiii----at!

@MrKevin619ism

INDEED!!! LEROY IS THE MAN. & i have always loved his music whether poduction or singing. "hooked on your love" & 'Summertime" r 2 of my all time fav ja,s of his as well. but the many levels of orchestration in let's do it, jus rock on; the piano cords, the string arrangment, the ...

i have this lp, but i think this is a real short version of the song. i believe its almost 7 or 8mins, right? oh i see it says pt-1 never mind. lol..

the 12' version had a much longer break on it;( bongo & bassline) it was a big hustle record in the nightclubs in baltimore md. i sure bought it.

yes... YES! YES! that's my songggggggggggggggggggggg! the best-est LMAO... slick, funky soulful ass kicker tune by soccio ever. its got that gut-bucket gritty disco sound. whao! i lost my voice screaming while dancing to this song too many times to remember. props to try it out, dancer, & rememb...

there isn't a singer that is well known today that can pull off this song so completely flawless, make me believe through adele's seemingly effortless vocalise. she's not just a GOOD VOICE! she's a PERFECT STORM of talent, imagination, lyrical genius, & USE of her voice. the way she turns a phras...

decent edit, but i beg to differ wit ya on the pitch, n my day the dance floor could find the energy in the spirit of the song. this song has BUCKETS of spirit. it's uplifting, speaks a positive message about love desires, & its a sexy swaggering song, it's not meant to invoke bohannon, let's sta...

@DannyKing3000

its re-edit of inst.l song entitled, "Adventure (no way back pt-2)" Dells 1976lp,"No Way Back." "No Way Back," title trk is r&b midtem-dance trk that n no way musically resembles this inst. trk. 2 my knowledge theres no vocalsong out w/ this music on it the fade is similar to the...

so much depth, so much flavor, so sexy, so cool, so smooth, a delicious head nodder. but i can remember when they'd black out the dance floor on the break of this song. & the room would go up in a roar!!!

almost brings tears to my eyes, i was a kid who collected 45's with my paper route money & as much as i loved black ivory i've never heard this long version b4. thanks for posting this. its beautiful.

just broke something... shhhhit!

GOTS TA LUV DA LISA!!! always consistant. but her 2003 Face off lp should have a stateside release. i had to order it from australia. 12 bucks very reasonable considering. i just got it this yr.

u might have to see erykah in concert to appreciate her true skills. when she's on point her performance can be amazing. ssaw her back 04-05 in DC 9:30 club & she tore the roof off the spot with her versionof chaka & rufus's, "stay." & i'm a chaka khan fan who thinks nobody should ever try & sing...

if i have to have a fav doobie bro's song, here it be... this set version STILL KILLIN' IT!!! tight production... they sound wonderful & their spirits all seem filled still of such a healthy positiveness. may the universe keep shining on doobie's. fyi: this comes from a 53 yr old black gay eastco...

much respect... have loved alan parson's for decades but "i robot" lp just kills it. production, arrangments, vocals, lp cover everything was hittin.. love ya man...

it's so hypnotic & driving & then that gut churning break just bangs u over the head taking the production into the ssstratosphere. love it.

this used to destroy a dance floor in the bohannon, let's start the dance, kinda way. HER VOCAL IS THE SSSSSSSSHIT!!!!

love karisma's energy on most of his work, but this mix fits this songs integrity much better... but its all subjective... right?

yes... yes.... YES!!!!

nina's a favorite vocalist of mine & this is a real sweet mix, but several yrs ago bout 2006-07 verve put out a FULL12 or so song remix project of nina songs. the "turn me on" mix on there is SSSSSSSSLAMMIN!!! find it folks, get it. u will bang a gong...

once again... CATACOMBS & CLUBHOUSE there r no words.... to explain what this song used to do to those 2 dance floors... ok that's definitely more than 2 words... must b my dyslexia kicking in...lol...

2 words.... CATACOMBS CLUBHOUSE

awwwwwwwwww sssssssssssssssssssshit!!!!!!!!! dededed det det det DANCIN!

gotta say as much as "stand by me is an america pop culture classic. this song by my king makes me wanna shake-tail feather, always loved it.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh shit! my favorite record from this one hit wonder girl group. i did a 8 minute edit of it i used to play back then.

this is my favorite song on this lp. my lord i ca't believe anybody else loves this song!!!

@SlidingHorn opps... i guess i should have been more specific about what i meant regarding her lyrics, as it does imply that i meant this song. but i really meant in general. lol...

i am a huge cure fan too, "close to me" is one of my top 100 fav's songs of all time. having said that, their versi...

damn this is slammin harder then the original version. ya gave it everything no one ever knew it needed. BRILLIANT!

AMAZINGLY, EFFORTLESS BRILLIANT SONG & PRODUCTION... it's so hard to believe with its pure simplicity, how it pulls on ones energy & emotions like a methodical opera sonet. even after all these yrs this song still makes me well up with emotion & shake my head in disbelief whenever i hear it. pure...

i don't know what's been written about this song so far but i haven't read ANYTHING that REALLY speaks to what this song used to do to a dance floor. NO MATTER WHO U WERE, WHERE U WERE, THIS WAS A HUGE HUGE NIGHTCLUB RECORDS months b4 it ever got to radio, & went on to gain the status as a classi...

if its any consolation, this made a dent at black gay underground clubs. n nations cap: big hit at the clubhouse, delta elite, brass rail, & old bachelors mill. heard it in philly too, david todd, catacombs played it. just a very sweet classy groove track to kick off a party or rock the 6am crowd...

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SHIIIIIIIIIIII............ dance now! ya gotta prance now! i love most genres of music especially the disco, underground, house, jazz, & r&b stuff of both yesterday & today, BUT nothing compares to the sophistication of the dance music between 1975 -85. that's just the truth. sor...

yes the long mix, finally found it! put it right here peggy baby...

glad to see another generation know who peggy blu is, she didn't have the spotlight as many others but she is an amazing vocalist, & this song was a black out the room party song in many underground disco clubs that catered to black gay men. its a classic.
