Produced for Dog House Productions, Division of At Home Productions.
This was more "Robbie Vincent" than "Greg Edwards." Robbie was more Jazz Funk and Jazz Fusion. Greg went for the disco-soul floorfillers. Robbie was mid-Saturday groove. Greg got you ready to go out on Saturday evenings!
Should have been the theme for the 2012 London Olympics.
one of the most overlooked and positive tunes about London ever. how can you not love that vibraphone and guitar combo? massively underrated
Its a London thang! LOTW paying homage to the city of their birth London town, this excellent track really symbolises what the Brit Funk era was all about, from the opening vibes led intro, then the horns, breezy melody with the vocals taking you through Regents Park & Trafalgar Sq, by now your hooked cos i am!
Won this disc from Greg Edwards for "getting on down and having a good time" at a disco at Silvermere GC c.1980/81. Those were the days!
They copied LA nights by Asuka Yagawa
One of the few songs that instantly take me back to the good times in 1980s SE London:Deptford, Peckham, not forgetting the West End!......
So glad I grew up in this era.
So nice, this reminds me of Ubiquity and Blackbyrds. Memories of chilling in London in the early 90s, and watching Roy Ayers, The Brecker Brothers, Courtney Pine, Bheki Mseleku and Al Jarreau in Alexandra Park.
So many great memories attached to this song and era. I remember picking this up from Bluebird Records.
Always gives me goosebumps the best tune there is to describe London town
Feels like a London response to Harlem River Drive. Exceptional tune.
Brilliant song - takes me back 🎶
Man this is a smooth song!! I'm not from London, but who cares? Great music is great music!!!!, and this is GREAT!!!!💕💕
I was SOOOO incredibly happy when I found this on UA-cam. I must have played it a hundred times. A timeless masterpiece. Just STUNNING. PURE CLASS. HUGE thanks for posting and for making this world a better place, 😘😘
I was a spotty teenager in the 80s ... enjoying this in my early 50s👍
