    This is killin me!!! This is my favorite all-time Go-Go/Junkyard jam!!! Love me some Chuck and Trouble Funk too (so don't hate!). But I remember DJ Kool..that's right DJ Kool mixing this song for about a 30 minute set at the Room(just brought back some memories 4 a few real GoGo soldiers)! He had the lights flashing to every horn blast! Remember it like it was yesterday (we all know it wasn't...lol). You Can Dance was so hot DJ's had to play it every 20/30 minutes or got stepped to! hahaha

    This is the one I heard on Washington D.C. radio in the late 80s mixed with Janet Jackson's Nasty! So glad to get to hear this again. I really enjoyed this one. That electric guitar solo starting at 4:26 was it.

      First time I've heard this and I didn't know what to expect. It bubbled under the Top 40 in the UK around the tail end of 1986. Nice groove.

    Go Go Lorenzo is truly a legendary Go Go pioneer. I remember when I used to see him and the Pet Boys Band perform at the Black Hole and the old WUST Music Hall. He was a cool brother he will be missed. His reminded me alot of John Cabalou with his talking skills. R.I.P. brother.

    Go Go Lorenzo used to come to my Friday Night parties in Silver Spring MD. back in 1978 - 1980. He used to come with that crew from Uptown! George, Jamie, Catfish, Eric..them duded from 15 St. (they all grown now). Lorenzo and my boy Catfish were tight. I wonder how he's doing and if he even remember me. He's been over my crib a couple of times. He was a cool brother. I saw him on "Go Go Live A the Cap center" and was like WOW!!

    killer track, this was the time Go Go was trying to get the foothold.... ...then came New Jack Swing and House muzik which edged it out of the mainstream view and by the late 80s it was the beginning of Golden Era Hip Hop, BDP and PE and no-one (apart from Native Tongues fans) was that interested in just having fun....
