It IS a massive tune - unique, I would say. Those four devastating chords recurring on the synthesiser in the minor key. A mix of great sound for dancing - whilst being such a sad subject, all said and done. I remember when it came out and being captivated by that synthesiser! It may surprise you to know that I am a classical and jazz violinist! But - yes - it does still sound fantastic in 2023!
You are so right. It hasn't aged one bit. A wonderful classic...and in case you've forgotten it, though I doubt it, check out 'Just be good to me' by The SOS Band...it has a similar sexy little vibe. Nice one !
OMG i ohh soo miss these times what a choon and era for ground funky soulfull trax, when i listen to cchon like this from way bak just gives that lumpy crying feeling . weres that time machine gone
A few of us in the USA had a thing for Mai Tai, too, although they were nowhere near as popular or well known here as they were in Europe. A loss for all American aficionados of classic 80’s dance music!
The guitar licks kinda reminds me of that 1970's R&B/jazz/disco group, Chic (Bernard Edwards, Nile Rodgers, Tony Thompson and 3 more (beautiful black) women: Luci Martin, Norma Jean Wright and Alfa Anderson)
Yeah, it's totally copying the Chic Corporation sound... And it does it well! First time I heard it I was straight onto the internet to see if Nile was involved, and proper surprised that he wasn't!
Agreed - the synthesizer has such a sound of finality! I remember when I first heard it when released, (I was sitting in the car just before getting out and going into the caravan!) and thinking that I hadn`t really heard anything like those devastating chords before - especially on a chart number!
Yes I love this song and this 12 inch remix fantastic one of the greatest disco funk soul pop track of the 1980s it was released in 1985 and no 1 !!! It's just a classic stomper I tried makes me happy alive calm feel good this song was massive all over the world united beat Everton 1-0 f a cup final big Norman Whiteside got the winner after extra time I was there with my dad and my younger brother Kevin and I was right behind the goal when it went in !
The curling shot from the corner of the box, beating the great Neville Southall? Take away the injuries and Norman was one of the greatest ever. The 80s, better music, better football, better life.
lol tell it like it is 'the main 12" is rubbish'.. I went looking for an extended mix I'd heard somewhere, saw 5 mins, saw 7.5 minutes and thought nah, 5 mins sounds more like it. and this WAS the right one, thanks for uploading
Today I burnt some birthday cards & letters my ex sent me last year. In an old pot , we broke up last November. So I've been watching UA-cam & this song turns up! How weird! I told no one, the universe is a joker!
Love this? Check out this also Dutch Super production; ua-cam.com/video/yLm8J5REerE/v-deo.html Kinders,.... is het niet eens tijd voor een 'anniversary album' a la Michael Jackson? En dan dus alle remixen en extended versions daarop. De originelen hebben we immers al op het album van destijds. Ik heb die CD grijsgedraaid. (Kan dat eigenlijk wel bij CD ? ) By the way; kan deze remixer ook even Total Touch's 'touch me there' ook even remixen en vooral extenden (én een instrumental version regelen, als je toch de mastertapes opvraagt) Want ook Touch Me There is zóóóóó'n dijk van een nummer.
