The project was a collaborative effort between the band's namesake James "D. Train" Williams, who was featured as the lead vocalist and songwriter, and Hubert Eaves III, a keyboardist and producer who performed the instrumentation on the recordings. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Williams himself was a R&B/dance producer as well. He and Eaves met during high school and began performing together. Eaves would spend most of the 1970s as a member of the R&B band Mtume. However, by the 1980s, he and Williams had teamed up again. The group named themselves "D. Train" after a nickname Williams had acquired as a football player in high school.
D. Train released their first single "You're the One For Me" in late 1981. The track became an instant success, hitting #1 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart that year; it has been remixed and re-released successfully several times since, and was contemporaneously covered by Paul Hardcastle with vocalist Kevin Henry in the United Kingdom. The duo's self-titled debut album (which prominently featured the "You're the One For Me" title on the front cover, and the album sometimes became known by this name) followed in early 1982, and several additional singles from this effort were successful on both the R&B and Dance charts, although they were not as popular as the debut hit. Among these tracks were "Keep On," which reached #2 on the Dance chart, and a cover version of the Burt Bacharach/Hal David penned "Walk On By", that owed more to the Isaac Hayes version than to Dionne Warwick's original recording.
In 1983, the band released their follow-up album, Music. The title track became another dance-floor anthem and is the most gospel infused of D-Train's floor fillers.[citation needed] This track nearly equalled the success of the group's debut single. Several other singles from the album were moderately successful.
In 1984, D. Train had their only Billboard Hot 100 entry with "Something's On Your Mind," which climbed to #79 and was later covered by Miles Davis on his album You're Under Arrest. The single also cracked the top five on the R&B chart, becoming the group's biggest hit in that market as well. The accompanying album, also titled Something's On Your Mind, found the band branching out into new musical territory, incorporating elements of reggae and more adult contemporary-oriented R&B into their music.[1] Williams himself played acoustic guitar on a cover of Carole King's "So Far Away".
A Greatest Hits album entitled You're the One for Me- The Very Best of D'Train was issued in several European countries in 1985 [1]. Featured on this compilation was a remixed version of "You're the One for Me," and the tune charted a second time that year. The remixing on this version of the song was done by Paul Hardcastle, who had previously issued a cover version of the song, and by 1985 had become well-known for his own hit "19". Despite this success, the group would disband that same year.

James D Train Williams at his best point blank
Vintage D Train
D - TRAIN came out of nowhere in 1982', with this Dance Classic.... and I'm still digging it today!!!!😎👍
Yes.
Gemini no this song came out in 85 or 86 because I remember riding in the car with my mom when this first came out 🙂
@@nickj3513 you are wrong....go do your research.
@@geminilover9526 no no no oOoOO you are wrong!! If there's one thing I know if anything else this is a mid-80's jam!! Just listen to the sound and arrangement 🤠🤗
Yes I agree with helluva dance tracks!!!!.
James D Train Williams was the man. The trademark crisp keyboards and the insane bassline. Rocking to this in August, 2023. Rest in peace, Hubert Eaves III.
Hubert Eaves is still very much alive.
so much soulful funk
Miles Davis covered this classic, cause it was so deep!!! Respect !!!
I absolutely love this song..so unique and catchy. Nothing sounded like it then, or now
Priceless
Timeless East Coast gem and this is coming from a Texan like me.
Oh how i remember dancing to this song💃💃💃💃Yessssssssss
I’ve been rocking this for 30yrs and it never gets old! My kids came out their womb bumping this and I’m sure their kids will do the same! Straight classic!!!!!
💯
@@timjackson7226 same here.
One of the most underrated singers of all time!;!
It's a wishy, washy, sticky situation! Classic!
Dang... this really HITS
Great song no songs like this anymore!!!💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🔥🔥🔥
You don't really appreciate good music until you hear it decades later. Then you hear more than before and can envelop in it's entire arrangement.
WBLS !!! NEW YORK CITY. FRANKIE CROCKER, BABY. R.I.P. BROTHER AND THANKS FOR HELPING TO SOLIDATE THE SOUND OF THE 80's...... WOW, WHAT A DECADE !!!!! IF YOU WASN'T BORN WHEN MUSIC LIKE THIS WAS BLASTING THE RADIO ..... BABY YOU MISSED A GREAT PARTY. BECAUSE TODAY'S MUSIC .... SUCKS !!!!
Beyond sucks
Its 2022 and I will rocking it D-Train for life. Keep On and Something on your mind are my favorite.
this track is as smooth as spreading butter on bread. flawless. songs like these dominated the 70s and 80s.
❤
This was a serious jam by d train, good times, good times!
Great Song
GREAT SONG
Melissa Davis I remember when I first heard it and went and got the LP and couldn't wait to play it at the club I was DJ'n at. it was a banger at the time for me. but when I was ready to pull asses out of their seats to the dance floor this was one of my go to party starter's.
Styles Pretty Work Detailing & Spa Hinton Yes Lord!!!! I still step whenever I hear this song, they just don't make music like this anymore, the lyrics now are stuck in the hooks. Music used to be about the MUSIC, musicians and they strived for CLASSICS.... I miss the music.
Melissa Davis so do I being a DJ at the time that this style of music was on the rise I'm so glad I was a part of it. I can't count how many times I was asked who is that, play it again and would tell them I can't I only have 1 copy. and they would throw 10 bucks up on my mixing board so I guess you know he heard that again. lol
My god. This song is so addicting
Glad you like it !
AMEN SISTER !!!!!
If i could turn back the hands of time this is where i wud love to be and adore every second n minute of this time and moment in life I was a teenager young n having so much freakin fun. Mama used to say watch wat you doing boy.
D.train is a bad cat I got to give him that
I'm 54 & this joint brings back memories of growing up in Brooklyn listening to BLS & KISS FM in the early 80s
Feel good music!!
D-''Train is "' the around the way" guy that truly expresses himself in song!! Big respect for this dude!! 💘 🎶 😍
Definitely
I grew up to these classics. My dad played in the band. My mom made sure to play the songs. I'm 43 yrs young and I know the words through and through. Music is in your blood. 🎉❤
During the 80's one of the baddest dance jams use to rock the city LA killing it.
Let's not forget the innovation Dtrain brought to music. We must also mention Hubert Eaves III
2023 here I come
I used to wake up with these kind of jams as a kid. My late parents loved this kind of music 🎶 🎵 ❤
Really these people who dislike this beauty, there is something wrong on their minds, this is maverlous!!
SOMETHING IS ON THEIR MIND... CUCKOO FOR CO-CO PUFFS😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
He'll yeah
I have listened to this song at least 10 times straight in the past..
Same 😍😍
Still Do👍🏽
Yes, me too
Frances, I feel you baby.😀
James "D' Train" Williams, shows!!!
This guy has soul still listening in 2020 august and for a least the next 40 years
Classic beat-box ballad.
If you weren’t in the dance clubs in the 80’s and 90’s you missed the best time to be young
They will never know
SHO NUFF A MAJOR CLASSIC, I'M 62 BUT THE 70'S & 80'S HAD SOME GREAT MUSIC. I'M FROM NEW JERSEY, AND WBLS WOULD MIX THE HELL OUT OF THIS JAM. SMOOTH GROOVE CLASSIC /OLD SKOOL FOREVER 💖💣🌷👀💃🍸🌟😎

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaas...WBLS kept this on heavy rotation with of our Brooklyn’s finest blaring out your radio speakers on any given day😍
Who ELSE feel like doing a "body slide" to the 1980's? I loved D-Train's music growing up in Brooklyn back in the 80's. Funny thing is, I NEVER took a ride on the D train till I became a messenger in high school and then when my wife and I moved to The Polo Grounds projects up in Harlem. The D train takes you RIGHT to the entrance of those projects.😂 Peace to everyone up on 155th, and 8th Avenue, peace to D Train.✌
Yes it does...from the Norwood section of the BRONX 205st---- to Stillwell Ave Coney Island BKLYN.....I was Train Operator......
I remember this as a kid it was played on the radio station alot good memories

"I'LL FIND OUT SOONER OR LATER"

@@reginagrayes7293 , as a bass player, THANKS FOR THE LOVE, HONEY! 😘😊
I DO NO HESITATION!!
There has always been something on my mind!
I always loved D Train 🚆 ❤
2020 Still Classic. I was 6 in 81 living in The South Bronx. At the party with the grown folks,playing in the coats on the bed in the room. Seeing way more than a 6 year old should see. Miss those days.
One of the most memorable soul singers in the early’80s!! Most distinctive voice.
Dallas Texas 1985 summer listening and jamming to this funk beat on K104FM radio
with TOM JOYNER.
1wharfboy THE SUMMER OF 85 I REMEMBER IT WELL SO MANY GOOD MEMORIES LIFE WAS EASY AND FUN AND PEOPLE ACTUALLY LOVED EACH OTHER NUTHN BUT GOOD TIMES THIS ERA MAKES ME SO SAD 😂😂😂😂
This beat has everything you'd want on a track. You chill to it, you can dance, good melody, and just enough bass.im surprised more rappers and producers haven't used this that much.
D-Train was smooth as shit on this
Yes it is smooth I love it.
Yo Yo used it in 1998
Yes for sure it was .!💕😊
Sensacional👏👏👏
They’ve used this beat. It’s very popular
Classic
why dont anyone play music like this anymore.
I KNOW! I WISH
Wanda out of Ithaca NY this is when music was music can't get much better than that
This is music thanks Moms for playing good music.Get the time Machine
This is when you could go too a real club and dance, and drink, and drink and dance.....
I still play these songs. Frequently add this type music to my mixes
Nothing like that old school funk on a nice summer day driving with your main squeeze. Born in ‘94
I hear you youngin! Perhaps your parents listened to 80's music, when you were a child, which are now classics, such as this one, thereby giving you a good ear for great music!
WE SALUTE U LIL YOUNGSTA
Love this man!!!!and this is one of my favorites!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember listening to Miles Davis doing this song as an instrumental cover....Liked that version too.
Something on your mind soooooo smoooooth@silky
I like this beat and song
for the 43 people who dislike this jam, "THERE'S SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND" ITS H-A-T-E
Lamonte Benberry Yeah its got to be hate because this song is hot.
That's Right Lamonte 👆
Tell it!!! LOL
Ice Cube's former protege yo yo sampled the melody from this track during 1998.
People don't know good music. Put them in time out.
This is one of the greatest songs ever!! Regardless of genre!! It has powerfull vocals, well written and well produced pure genius!!
This has become one of my favorites. Good song, in the tradition of some of the male singers of the early 70s.
IMO this was D TRAIN's greatest hit.....the 80's.....what a gd time.....
I was born in 1982, I love 80s R&B music
IN 1981 I WAS 12 I LOVE THIS SONG BACK THIN AND I STILL DO TODAY IN 2017 DETROIT EAST SIDE.
John Moore me too. I was 11 and still jam it today
John Moore Hey Mr Detroit! Pontiac in the house! You obviously have great taste in music!!!
I was 10 but I love this song!!!
Pontiac westside!!!!! yactown!!!
Southwest side here
This is a banger that doesn’t get enough play
My my, the power of the vocals! When he first came on board, he reminded me of James Ingram but what distinguish him was the powerful voice, and the beauty of his choruses, wow, wow!
The bridge still gets me !1

The beat is something tough... love this jam. This song make you move...
Same here!

I had the pleasure of seeing them @ an outdoor summer jam in Chicago. It started raining and I was able to move up. It was a huge crowd. I was so excited when they started to singing Keep On" that did it they tore that summer jam up!! Unforgettable memory. They sounded just like studio version. Great show! Including Spinners.
