my dad was on his death bed and was trying to say backstroke. he mumbled youtube so i youtubed it. this song came up and was the one he was talking about. that was the first time i heard this song. he could barley talk or move but he didnt fail to tap his finger along to the beat like he always used to. it was his last request and i will never forget this song. i miss you and i love you dad!
Fuck bro, my deepest condolences!!! But, if your father loved this track then he obviously had great taste in music, now I’m curious to hear his playlist. He’s an OG. Good night and a Happy New Year to you and your family,
I still. Bump this and all the rest of all the old school jamzs from my time. My son loves the music I played when he was just a baby. It's all he plays.❤
Amazing I'm 56 can't do what i use to do my hat OFF to HIM. Lol. All men who have children is a father, i love when you said my dad..lol. He must have a great influence in your life great. Just do me a small favor call him allways and say i love you i said it first and hang up the phone HE well love it.. And when he try calling you back don't answer it...lol
If you really want to blow his mind send him a CARD saying IF GOD STRIKES MY EYES BLIND your love I'll still see.. Because this how much your love means to me i love you dad..lol
Shit my boi I'm still rocking it in 2024. Got in trouble a few days ago cause I drove in to work bumping this song on my 2 12's Fosgate Punch's P3 and my 1,000 watt amp. Lmfao 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆
18yo and losing that thing you only lose once on the beach after high school graduation and Fatback providing the score to match a beautiful time. 42 years later, I saw her at a concert in NYC and time hadn't tarnished the sweetness of 4 decades past. Both happily married, I'm pretty sure our respective lifemates knew the deal, and they both gave us an approving smile. No words, no introduction, just a quick hug and, "So good to see you." My, oh my. That backstroke! 💖😊
It’s sad AF most of the roller rinks out there closin up shop. Everything’s an insurance liability nowadays, people hatin on everything that’s “old”. Most people under 25 never even got to experience stuff like that. Jammin to some funky tracks, rollin around the wood floor with the whole building-hasn’t-been-updated-since-the-70’s vibe, the lights, the greasy food. Some of my best memories as a kid.
Came to listen to this because my pops practically raised me on stuff like this. I haven't heard this since i was a little kid. When i first heard this i thought it was annoying when i was younger. Now I CAN'T STOP DANCING TO THIS! Damn near had an out of body experience dancing to this. This is the shit! I love this. It's nice to revisit classics like this.
Thank you all for continuing to keep Fatback music alive. My only hope is that they would be picked up by unsung while all original members are still living and kickin'. Aint nothing like lovin' on you. Thanks again to the old and new fans! Keep it Funky......Always!
Why the hell did this song pop in my head at 2am? Things my mom played when I was a kid have a habit of doing that😆 So...here I am. May as well make the best of it. After all, it is the jam. 🔥💃🏽👯♀️🎼🎺🎸🎤🎹🤣
Another old school classic to get your skate on to..this jam would come at the roller rink and the whole rink would be skating backwards that was the bomb back in the day
My parents sent me to live with my grandmother in Scottsdale Arizona for a couple of years so I could learn English with my uncles and aunts. Grandma han 24 kids. So, I used to wait hours to hear this song when I was 10 years old back in 1979, KUKQ radio station! It's still way better than a lot of the junk music now days. Barkays, Gap Band, Zapp, One Way, S.O.S Band, and all those groups of musicians from the 70's 80's were the real music players. There were also groups and musicians from other countries with good old music. Mexico was right there with their own, but these groups were also played in the Mexican discotechs ( night clubs) My dad owned a few of these back in the day and the DJ who worked for him in one of his clubs had the list of nothing but the hits of the moment! So when I came back to my mother and father Of course I'd get a copy each week! Good ol days with good ol jams!
Grinding with the girlies, high nights, house parties, and just having fun on the weekends. Being a teenager back in the day was the thing. Man it just doesn't any better. This was the jam especially on the breakdown. Miss those days as a teen on the real.
