@Robertleoneyler Hi Thanks for the comment! i have great memories when I play this song too! :)

Early 1984 had some really good/funky songs in the UK chart at the same time with great production & instrumentation particularly if you like your big horn sections! There was this classic, 'Breakin' Down'(Sugar Samba) - by Julia & Co, 'Spice of Life' by the Manhattan Transfer, More More More - Carmel & 'Straight Ahead' - Kool & the Gang. One of the most best periods in pop music in my opinion! Such great musicanship just not apparent in much of todays chart music!

Thanks johnny for sharing this rare piece, short lived, disco/big band unique sound. here's a little DJ story: I had to lower the volume on this one since the recording was so loud and crisp, a bit like Spank - Jimmy Bo Horne. It could mix well with Charlie Callello - Sing, Sing, Sing... It reminds me the best discotheque nights I've had ! Thanks again for youtubing this orchestration masterpiece.

I first heard this at the most glamourous fashion show I'd ever been to, back in the mid '80s;- the male models in tuxes and the female models in YSL ballgowns! Those things are gone, but the music and memories remains:)
