@skuastone9698. I know I'm super late with this but as a 49yr old man I remember listening to this as child coming up in the 80s. What I think it is...we thought music like this would last forever.
I was 33 at this time so busy working and going out whenever I could. Having so much fun. Not thinking about time passing now I'm 75 where has the time gone to 😅😂.
I was 13 when this came out. Living in SoCal,. this was my jam in the summer! No Internet or Social-Media. We were just having fun at roller-skating paties and PLAYING OUTSIDE!🔥🔥😁😁
I read that he was found by a friend on Monday afternoon. No one had heard from him so that is probably when someone went to check on him. He lived alone. I think he actually passed on Sunday. Reports are saying he died of natural causes. There is not much on the reports. I guess we will hear more later. He was about 56 years old. I too was/am shocked and hurt by this news. It brought me to tears. He was one of my favorite singers/producers. Usually Facebook is blasting with posts about celebrities, but sadly not much was even posted with my friends. In fact, I did not see any. :(
THOSE WERE MY HIGH SCHOOL DAYS "1980-1983" THE FONZ. I REMEMBERED A FRIEND OF MINES ON THE BLOCK I LIVE ON MADE A SONG I MEAN I WASN'T TOUGH OR BAD BUT I CAN KICK HIS A**.BUT ANYWAY HE MADE A HAPPY DAYS SONG ABOUT ME CALLING ME THE FONZ'S. THOSE WERE THE DAYS. THE LAST TIME I SEEN HIM WE WAS INCARCERATED TOGETHER AND THAT WAS MID 1990'S HE BECAME WANNA BE BAD ME I BECAME SPECIALIST FREEMAN IN THE ARMY RESERVES AND LET ME DO MY DUTIES 1 WEEK END A MONTH AND 2 WEEKS A YEAR AND WORK TO PAY MY CHILD SUPPORT LOL. DIDN'T MEAN TO WRITE A BOOK IT WAS ON MY MIND HAD TO GET IT OUT. GOD BLESS EVERYONE
Wooooooo!!! Hoooooooo!!! Classic, timeless, and when this song played back in the 80's, the dance floor was packed! RIP Kashif (Song writer/producer, and performer) Howard Johnson brought Sooooooulllll to this song! :) Everyone please stay safe out there! I love the Soul Train dancers in this video! (Lou Ski, Cheryl, and others)
@@EmpressKai , sadly, Kashif died on September 25, 2016, three months shy of what would've been his 60th birthday. Life is so short. Let's all continue to cherish our lives each day. 😔🙏🏿 Happy upcoming holidays to everyone. Stay safe out there. 😎👋🏿🙌🏿
An era in which soul & funk was at it's best. The tracks are still sampled because they were that good then & still sound great today. A music that doesn't age with time, with legends no longer with us but their music lives on & inspires others. The 80's...
i remember clubbing to this back in the mid to late eighties. This was my s**t! and Hojo was the man! I can honestly say those were the best years of my life especially when they were jamming music like this. The music back then was so authentic it was incredible!
Wow 1982 was nothing but smiles. Look at this right here….all these beautiful people just smiling and dancing and having a good time. Soul Train 🚂 dancers too. Life in 1982 was beautiful. Then rap music destroyed everything….not Kurtis Blow….he just gave the heads “up” on what was coming….or starting. Fast forward 2023 everything is still beautiful you just have to fine it!
This was my era 19 yrs old in the service living and loving life.Going to the club EVERY week!! Dancing till your clothes were SOAKED from sweat.Back when me and boys competed to see on the floor the longest and using our best techniques to get girls to dance.Staying away from those " My feet hurt" chicks or those that are afraid to sweat.... Then it was off to White Castle at the end of the night for the " after party"
This is still the jam! I remember being a kid saying so fine blow My mind… I was five when this song was released . True music lives forever!! Happy 2022!!! Living Room party of 1
When our America was fun and care-free, social media didn't exist, and we just worked hard to have fun on the weekends. People today live in a constant protracted state of loneliness, dumb scrolling, anxiety and depression.
Wow! Hey Dori, I remember you. Thanks for posting this music video. I was the dancer on the right in the white and purple. This was the first time I had seen it, I was too shy to watch it back then LOL!
I remember you too! You looked adorable in this video. I've had my copy for decades and couldn't watch myself. I finally got over it and uploaded. Lol.
@resolve222, I saw that commercial too. It brought me here. Timeless and Classic! I was on my "Grown man" during the 80's in the clubs and such! :) Everyone please stay safe out there
Wow, this was me and my sister favorite song. We lived in base housing at the time in 82( navy housing) ,when this song would come on the radio we would be dancing up a storm. Love seeing this with Cool to the bone Howard Johnson, BEAUTIFUL LADIES from soul train all soooooooooooo fine and the guys all cool and miss the 80'S REAL DEAL CLASSIC AND PEOPLE HAVING FUN. YEAH WOMEN REAL AND FIT.
RIP. Within this year he assisted narrating Unsung on tvOne. Handle ball and basketball courts was packed. One beat box, one water fountain and no internet! 60's and early 70's babies were the joint. We survived yall👍
Boy those days of Teen Jam Tropic Club Kingston Jamaica fond fond memories of this jam we disco lovers couldn't get enough of it, big big tune back in the days.
When I say this brings back memories, this brings back memories of a time that now seems to be a fantasy! Doesn't even seem like it was real!!! Real talk!!!!
I was born the year this came out 82 but vividly remember going through my Sisters Vinyls as a kid and putting this record on and Jamming, it’s crazy the things you remember.
Rewind back to the early 80s this brilliant underrated Soul funk classic track produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis Howard Johnson So fine even in 2024 if moves funk it

Remember this joint in the summer playing during my block party in Brooklyn NY. Putnam Ave between Nostrand and Marcy! A new teenager with curves popping everywhere. 😇🤣💃🏽🕺🏽 Those were the days. Children/Young people today have no idea what fun is.
Do you know the Johnson, family on Hancock St, Lamar Sati Johnson, as well as childhood friends Lelia, Mark, Fat Al ,Mrs. Tina, I always wanted to know what happened to some of the people from that block. Coming from Georgia around that time, remember hearing the best music during those block parties, good memories!!!
Nothing can duplicate theearly eighties old school r & b soul disco.. All of it is great. From Howard Johnson to the Jones Girls,Starguard,Frankie Smith,Africa Bambaata Soul Sonic Force...anything from 1979 to 83 is wonderful. Take any LP. You might find in a thrift store from this time..and you will most likely love ALL the songs[including] the songs that never charted.
This era of music will never be duplicated.
Howard Johnson is still alive and well and making amazing new music. Check him out!
Facts all day!
Nope!
Totally agree. 80s R&B was and is the best music!! Especially the band member s used to play their own instruments.
you got that right no era comes close now we kill instead of sing and dance
If you were born in the 70s you had the best musical experience
Until you experienced The 80’s and 90’s.
1982 is unmatched when it comes to our culture.
Facts
@bryancox2838, I agree. Big facts! 🙌🏿👏🏿
Facts
Bring back R&B Music 🎶 🎵 2024
At that moment you're enjoying life but not realizing how good times are until it passes.

I was 10
Them was da days. Miss them so much
I was born in 1977 living in Inglewood ca listening to KDAY-we grew up with the absolute best music - and it fell off in 2005 lol
Oooh 82! I had just graduated. We partied hard when this came on the radio. Good music, good times! These kids just don't know what good music is!
All I can say is WOW! Those who missed this era really missed something special.
