    The white dude on the keys (david Frank), later wrote "Genie In A Bottle" for Christina Aguilera....19 years later.

      "David Frank" played the infectious Horn Lines & Bass Synth in "Phil Collins"- 'Sue, sue, sudio;, produced records for "Eric Clapton", Annie Lennox", too many to recall, as are his compositions. The Best At What They Did.

    The System's greatest success came in 1987 with the release of the single "Don't Disturb This Groove," from the album of the same name. helped the duo achieve their biggest US Pop hit, "Don't Disturb This Groove". The single reached #1 on the Billboard R&B chart and #4 on the Hot 100. The follow-up single, "Nighttime Lover," was also a top 10 R&B hit, peaking at #7.
    Murphy and Frank parted ways professionally after releasing their Rhythm & Romance album in 1989.

    I understand that people become offended when people mention how today's music doesn't compare to that of years past, but it's just the honest to God truth. With the exception of a few artists, today's music will never be able to spark nostalgia like these songs, the styles, etc. Sorry, but I'm a PROUD 80's kid...

    Always loved this song. It had a great beat was total 80's in it's synthesizer usage. And just made me remember of better times. MUCH better then the crap on the radio today.

    Great song to this day! One of my favorites. Great lyrics and the synth arrangement is infectious! Every time this joint comes on the radio I'm like, "Dang, this song don't get old!"

    This song is perfectly written and song Mic Murphy tore this song up and David Frank is one the baddest keyboard players i heard

    I was not expecting Mic to come rollin' out in the '55 Thunderbird!! They were not playing around! As far as albums that were released, in the month I was born, this has to be my favorite.
    Fun fact: Jimmy Jam from Jam & Lewis, stated in a recent interview that the System were a big inspiration to what became their distinctive "pretty top, ugly bottom" sound. Mic and David, had married the two, to perfection and J & L, did their own thing with that concept but keeping the same general idea: fat, funky low end, with bass and synths and beautiful vocals and electric piano, combined to make a strong, juxtaposition that moves you both, emotionally and compels you to move your feet.
