This is one of the classics of the era. Criminally under-appreciated.
This song was a big part of the breakdancing era!!
i love to see young people get surprised, especially about their culture or about old music they had no damn idea was awesome.
This was a HUGE hit back in the 80s and 90s in dance clubs. Everyone got to the floor and danced. Check out her song Give Me Tonight.
Listen to her song give me tonight and my hearts decided
Sherry thanks for your Great response, watchin your reactions brightens my day always.
YES! Her next song is even better; “GIVE ME TONIGHT”❤🔥
This genre music is what they call FREESTYLE...
Love this song...
She was born in Washington DC. This was a big After hours club song on the East Coast.
This song takes me back to high school in the 80's. This was a very popular song back then.
What a breath of fresh air to see someone get into the music to the point where they don't want to stop and press pause.
That song came out when I was about 21, and they used to play it all the time in DC spots. I hated it 😂 have you ever heard of an artist called “Sylvester”? Try his song Disco Heat (Come On And Dance)
Sylvester! Still listen regularly; “Do you wanna funk”, “You make me feel (Mighty Real); we had such great music!
