Free Man - South Shore Commission

Rumored to have been first pressed on acetate in limited quantities. The original 12" is considered the holy grail of disco singles. This original version was remixed by Tom Moulton however, he was uncredited in the release.

Gurl, I'm a free man and braggin bout it.....YES! And I'm braggin bout bein lucky enough to have been born in 62 in an era when 16 and 17 year olds routinely hit the best clubs in NY and Philly - Paradise Garage, baby! The club era - up to around 83 or 84 - will never be excelled - nor will the music (like this sawng) Thank you for posting

@MENDELMAN86

I am also a mendelman of 86. ronnie g in the house. As the unofficially house dancer of the class, this was my jam and NO the kids of today have nothing that compares to losing it on the dancefloor to this cut. It is like church when the break ends and the bass is thrown back in until your body rocks from the vibes. Cannot be compared. This is actually a 2 shirt song. I would sweat through my clothes at the bi-level jams and need to go to the car and change shirts.
