    Tom Browne is an ordinary guy...

    That's Toni Smith singing ! Underrated for her time.

    This cut was inescapable in the summer of 1980.! R.I.P. Tonni Smith & Bernard Wright.❤

    For those that aren't aware, they're Funkin' for Jamaica Queens. Where Tom's from.

    This is a funky and groovy tune! It has s lot of musical elements that make it unique and 🔥 fire! The lady singing whose name I don't know has a magnificent voice, and is obviously also very beautiful! That's my 2 cents! Have a good one!

    I definitely remember this from the summer of 1980!! Cruising at night with the radio blasting with this song and other jams from that summer!!😊

    Nothing else like a Jamaican block party jamming out to smooth vocals and the horns and base along with percussion back up. Tom Brown Funking for Jamaica was the jam back in 1979. Angela said it right family reunions, block parties or graduation from middle school the DK never could go wrong with this jam 🎼🎶🎙️🎧

    If you watch the video you'll notice that that is a 16-year-old Bernard wright play the piano / keyboard Bass and beside him it's Marcus Mullerr at 17 years old playing the guitar. Tony Smith on vocals. RIP to Bernard Wright because he was a child prodigy and

    Another song from this time period where the artist credited isn't the singer is "Stuff Like That" from 1978 by Quincy Jones.

    Looks like Tom Browne's "Funkin' For Jamaica" got Miss Angela on some (how shall I say?), on some "extra goodness" and I am not mad at it, lol 😮👏🏾

      WHY the rascist cmment ? i dont comon here and brag about white music .I just like music not the color

    • @gabrielmcdonnell8699
      @gabrielmcdonnell8699 28 днів тому +1

      @@theodoreritola7641 Didn’t mean to offend but you _don’t_ have to brag about white music bc Angela reacts to white music 90% of the time. Nothing wrong with that! It was just a refreshing change of pace to hear a classic that’s synonymous with the African-American culture. “Funkin’ For Jamaica” isn’t some safe, crossover composition from a black musician. It is, as some of us joke, “blackety black”. And as you saw by Angela’s reaction, even she understood the fond nostalgia for Tom Browne’s signature tune. ✌🏽

    No, no, no!?
    You Need 12” Woofers or 15” subwoofers to really deliver this song!
    When that bass hits you in the chest you’ll know what I mean. That’s how this song needs to be delivered.
