I remember back in the day in Chicago that Lil Louis debuted this album at the Bismarck Hotel and they were handing out free glow n the dark whistles, he had two ladies singing “Music Saved My Life, he was DJing, and he had a Saxophone player. Still one of the Best House Parties I ever went to Chi-Town at it’s Finest.
I was there. I went to all the Bismark Pavilion parties on Randolph st, usually during the holidays during Thanksgiving or Christmas. I was at the party when Louis played the Blackout track for the first time. Legendary parties!!!!
I was introduced to lil louis and the world in 91’ Was 15, a complete hip hop head/dancer....til one of my school mates who was a house head said “ listen to this and it will change how u move” I was addicted immediately.... R.I.P Juan Carlos De La Cruz....u changed my life bro!!
What I love is that in the 1990s there was a point where hip hop and house were close to each other. You can love both from the era as I do. Unfortunately music today just isn't as good. Not by a long way. A great Era.
I was in this video tape 12/25/91, I was 16 yrs old. It was at the Bismark Hotel that night lil louis played Frankie knuckles whistle song and the crowd went nuts ! I had caught the amtrak train from Detroit to Chicago and had one helluva experience !!!!!!
For those people that got to experience this time of house music, let's consider ourselves the fortunate ones. The club scene, with the music as the soundtrack to our lives, and discover ing who we were (LGBT). This music and that moment in life I would never ever change.
I experienced this music through pirate radio and tape recordings of clubs in London and Chicago. I was only a little kid at the time but this House music has stayed with me to this day.
I've been a fan of Louie Vega since day two.Who could ever forget his classic French Kiss.Yet he took it to a whole new level with this one.The "read " in the beginning is hilarious.
This song has to be one of the best house tracks ever made and house is a feeling that you can't describe you feel. Music like this helps in 2020 and some! ✌🙂🦹♀️
Still love this track had this on my answerphone in the mid 90s with a message can’t get to the phone at the moment will get back to you after the party finishes. About the same time we went to THE END club in London to see Masters at work play and this was dropped so it was little Louis playing Lil Louis ha. I’ve got this on my playlist for my 71st birthday next week, oh yeah!
My goodness this takes me back to a time of utter happiness!!! I wish I knew what I had back then. Not a care in the world!!! GOD TAKE ME BACK and leave me there please!!!
Bring back great memories in Brooklyn, NY. I choreographed an Awesome trio to this. The club jumped and didn't know what what was about to happened. We vogued for days.
This song bring back memories of the parties Lil Louis use to have at the Bismarck Pavilion in downtown Chicago. Legendary parties always during the holidays during Thanksgiving or Christmas when everybody was home from school. Those were the days. SMH The intro is Chicago in the 80's and early 90's all day.
I was from the west coast and datin' a young lady from connecticut down at Tuskegee University. I had never heard of house music before meetin' her. She used to play this cd. I've loved house music ever since!! lol Good Viiiiiibez!!!
It's 2020..and this still one of my favorites and also "Do u love me" by lil Louis and the world..when club music was the shit..and it still is to me..life in this era will never be the same..
This whole album was on repeat all day every day back then. I would go to bed to it, wake up to it, clean the house to it, have sex to it, and get dressed to go clubbing to it (and the djs were playing *Club Lonely* twice a night)... Sweet memories...
Dear Sonjevity., You have been very frank about how often in your own life you listened to this "Back in the day",presumably around the time the song was released.In my life,that was in 1992 then,and I must have heard it at least once in Garage City,Vauxhall which I frequented in 1992.You may heard of the latter venue.Have a Great life man. James
James Turner yes, it was 1992, which is the album release year. I've never heard of either of those clubs that you mentioned, but I'm sure you had an out of body experience whenever they played Club Lonely...I did
YESSSSS...this is my song, not because I'm lonely but because it brings back beautiful memories of the garage and dancing alllll night til 4am. I luvvvvvvvvvvv it!
Back when Detroit was hot and kicking out original house music...The Club Todd's and the Club The Famous Door used to PUMP this one UP!!! These kids dont know how to have fun like we used to...this was great dance music!!!
Memories of Catch One and DYMK when life seemed easier, much more fun and I certainly had the energy to dance. (Okay, I'm older but this song commands your body to move, so I must dance)
yes yes... had me a blast... love me some house music...deep house. me and my girls used to kick it! the warehouse, kabooms, AKA's, the Shelter, the playground.. we went everywhere. started getting free..lol
I'm in Chicago land of house. I remember going to Shelter and seeing Louis and Joi Cardwell perform magical. This whole album is great but my other favorite on Journey with the lonely is Do You Love me. This song is beautiful, the string arrangements, Joi's singing it's house, but ballad like....it's danceable it fantastic, also the song Share is beautiful as well....honorable mention..on the album From the Mind of lil Louis the song Nyce and Slow is genius. ."more? Ok.
I realise that this term has been absued in musical circles to the point that it has become meaningless but for any true House Head this track definately is a CLASSIC. Let the children in House step aside and watch the Old House heads at work. My the memories.
It was meant to be said that Atlanta basically pumps this track in the clubs and on the radio, 89.3 on Saturdays Nights. Even though this song is old as dirt, it's still a classic. I'm glad that this may possibly be a Chicago track..............Nothing serious.
Lil Louis' best track, slightly ahead of "hot for you" imo, though not as mainstream and as played (Shocked it's not on Spotify), the summer in the 90's in T.O. were night's to remember, the club's, the dj's, the radio stations and the drive up north to Wasaga beach in a 90 something honda civic with the sound system very loud. Hard to believe almost 30 years ago. Where did life go and when did the world change so much?..... This song brings me right back to it like it was yesterday and moves me emotionally. Just can stop bobbing the head and foot sliding to the rythm with a lil hip in it.
This song was on my headset for 24hrs while stationed in Virginia, out to sea, away from all I knew and loved, but learned what it was like to be isolated and never again, this song brought me back mentally. If you were in the military, you know exactly what I am saying in the 90's was the "war" transition years, a lot of us didn't come back, we needed something to carry us besides training, for me, it was music, and this was the song which kept my soul sane.

I remember the first time I heard this track. It was 1992 before it’s actual release at the original Sound Factory at about 4 AM.
Still to this day, possibly the best song intro ever💯💪🏾Ms Thing!!!😂
For those people that got to experience this time of house music, let's consider ourselves the fortunate ones. The club scene, with the music as the soundtrack to our lives, and discover ing who we were (LGBT). This music and that moment in life I would never ever change.
You reduced that discovery to the club. 😏
I experienced this music through pirate radio and tape recordings of clubs in London and Chicago. I was only a little kid at the time but this House music has stayed with me to this day.
@@dsg3053 sit down. You better know how house came to be. Tell me that and we good. Google can't help you.
Oh yes we were blessed
One of the best house songs ever 10s across the board!

Anyone jamming on this heat in 2024?🎉
The best time to be young and down with the house music.
My all time favorite house track! Doesn’t hurt that Joi Cardwell sang it to me without a 🎤 at my friends house. 💯
THIS is the beat that starts a "must have" House music playlist....'don't need no body to dance off these joints...just bust a move, by ya self.
I miss the days of the clubs. We need a comeback. They go hard in Europe with music like this via Defected Records.
This is why I love house music!!
so true!
Yesss remember those days belkis
Have the original album. Love this track. Not many people would appreciate
Same one of my favorite genres of music I listen to.

+NellyBelle check out "Booka Shade - Love Inc. (Original Mix)"
***** ok thank you!!
Lil Louis, Chicago born and raised. Just another legend in Chicago's history in helping create the House Sound of Chicago.
Thanks for that info. I new the kind of deep house I liked was from that area but had no idea the artist was born there.
Only one in front of Louis is Fingers!!!!! CHICAGO, ALL DAY. 82!!!!!!
I remember climbing the steep ass steps at club Medusas on Chicago's North Side to see and hear Lil Louis spin back in '86 to '88. I miss those days.
Is lil Louis still alive ?
And Jersey danced with their Chi Town family thru House Music 🎉🎊
My grandma used to have a whole bunch of cds and I used to randomly remember them out of nowhere. So here I am
Real house music thank you!!!
This whole cd was actually nice, every track. GOD I MISS THESE DAYS!

Walker Pantera I've still got my original CD!
The last two songs were very Sade-ish. Yeah the whole album was awesome!
Walker Pantera
Nothing like it so glad I lived it.. miss it every day...

Still fucking brilliant!!
Still love this track had this on my answerphone in the mid 90s with a message can’t get to the phone at the moment will get back to you after the party finishes.
About the same time we went to THE END club in London to see Masters at work play and this was dropped so it was little Louis playing Lil Louis ha. I’ve got this on my playlist for my 71st birthday next week, oh yeah!
Happy birthday to you. 🍾

Bring back great memories in Brooklyn, NY. I choreographed an Awesome trio to this. The club jumped and didn't know what what was about to happened. We vogued for days.
I had the 12 inch. It got thrown out. I find the song on here over a decade later. I'm so happy.
This song bring back memories of the parties Lil Louis use to have at the Bismarck Pavilion in downtown Chicago. Legendary parties always during the holidays during Thanksgiving or Christmas when everybody was home from school. Those were the days. SMH
The intro is Chicago in the 80's and early 90's all day.
COME ON! You know you weren't expecting that sweet beat after that intro
This right here is the definition of house music . Joi Cardwell killin’ it on the vocals ❤️
Youth! Good friends and dance floors. What’s a classic!
I was from the west coast and datin' a young lady from connecticut down at Tuskegee University. I had never heard of house music before meetin' her. She used to play this cd. I've loved house music ever since!! lol Good Viiiiiibez!!!
SB Vibez Radio she put you on
If there ever was a reason to love house music it sure must have been this Journey With The Lonely. Do you get lonely? Sometimes.
Wow!! That's awesome cause this is so Chicago....love my city HOUSE HEAD HERE!!

Proper, unadulterated house music. One of my favorite tracks of all time. Puts a smile on my face to see that this has so many views!
This whole album was on repeat all day every day back then. I would go to bed to it, wake up to it, clean the house to it, have sex to it, and get dressed to go clubbing to it (and the djs were playing *Club Lonely* twice a night)...
