    In January 1990 this made number 15 in the uk top 40, when the British kids knew about music...RAVE ON..

      It had ZERO airtime here in US. Those of us who knew it only found it during the French Kiss release. And we wore it out.

      Loved the Zanzibar in New Jersey but Baltimore Md Odell’s Wayne Davis tore it up and Cignel’s Fantasy’s Baltimore, Maryland so I won’t forget The Club House and Traxx in Washington D.C. Philly at the Cyclone. So many more 😂House Music Lives 😎❤️💕🙏🏽🥰💯😃

    The "conversation/vocals" make this song for me. It's what makes it unique. All the other versions take the conversational part out. I only heard this song twice in 21 years, been looking for it ever since!
