    I am from NYC and the very first time I ever heard "go-go" was in 1977 while away at Johnson C.Smith University in Charlotte, NC. The woman who I eventually married and began a family with is from SE Washington, D.C. She was a class behind me when she landed on the yard and I scooped RIGHT AWAY! But it was HER who turned me on to "go-go". Completely blew my mind; I had never heard anything like those beats in my life! I was like, "WTF? What is THIS?" I couldn't stop my body from rocking! Mad props to the indigenous musicians of D.C who truly came with an original style ALL THEIR OWN! Chuck wasn't the only band, either --- there were others. At points during the song, Chuck would turn them drummers loose solo and they would have the crowd in a FRENZY!

      It had a small moment of nationwide and world exposure in the early to mid-80's (Spike Lee having E.U. perform in his film School Daze for example) but guess what also did, Hip-Hop. That's my explanation.

    A lot of people can give themselves nicknames and titles but you can't give yourself The Godfather. That has to be earned and be respected and accepted by all. No disputes. The very thought of you or the sound of your voice has to invoke that in peoples' minds. Chuck Brown has checked all of those boxes. When it comes to Go-Go he truly is the GOAT!

    Go Go was big in hiphop in the 80s, precussions are so powerful, I did not know about Go go unitl 1992 when I was across the street in a high school field that was located in front of Howard U by a McDonalds and I was hit in the soul with the funk grooves from GoGo, growing up in my community in JamaicaQueens precussions were every where in my home and Djs surrounded our blocks with so much different sounds ..

The bass player is just knocking this shit out of the park every groove and the brass section is partying. I hear this sober, I feel happy. I hear this drunk on wine, I feel good. I never hear this come on and think "I'm feeling something different today." Thank you, Chuck Brown.

    I was 12 when this came out! I wanted to go to the Crystal Skate that night but they wouldn't let me because of my age...my cousin brought home a signed cassette from that night. I miss these days :(

    ...this city will always have a special place in my heart...my hometown, SE DC...so many memories, from Chuck Brown & the Soul Searchers, screaming "wind me up, Chuck" at the Go-Go...Vendor's Mall, hearing Junk Yard as little boys before they got on the Go-Go scene, Kimball Elementary & Sousa Junior High school days...Ice cream trucks in the neighborhood...Chicken with Mumbo sauce before basketball games & steak & cheese & junk food at A-1 on Division Ave, NE...the love of the H.D. Woodson Warriors family...that "Tower of Power" & our red, black & green representing "The Woodson Way...❤🖤💚"...coaches, teachers, & faculty (Jefferson, Headen, Russell, Bradford, Mullens, Moe...)...MalcomX Day at Anacostia Park with Rare Essence & all the bands of the 80's & 90's...Go-Go at Crystal Skate, esp. the Nature Boys...listening to Stacey Lattisaw & Johnny Gill singing & hanging out on Ely & E Street...that V6 & X2 ride to high school; the icecream shop at the Post Office Pavillion, downtown DC; concerts at Fort Dupont Park summer stage & that Minnesota Ave/Fort Dupont Park Crew...Potomac & Central Baptist Churches & church revivals...that E street, Ely, D Street, Dubois, Croffut Place, & Greenway crew...Ice Skating Rink & horse stables at Fort Dupont, the Shrimp Boat...The Senator movie theater on Minnesota Ave along with Holly Farms & Hot Shops... the memories go on & on & on..."Chocolate City" will live in our hearts forever & DC Go-Go is in the backdrop of our story, our community, our history! (My boy & old friend HotDog is why I love this Chuck-B cut...😘)
