When I went to the Paradise Garage during the late 1970s it was an eye opener for me. I got an education and loved it. It was a place where all colors of the rainbow could come and party with no types of stipulations. It was like this: "Kick up your heels and live".

Sound!!!!!

BIG CHUNE...still!!! 🤔

I was shopping for albums back in the early 90's and they had this playing in the background. I was hypnotized! Had to stop and ask them to sell me a copy. Just hearing it again after many years and still mesmerizing!

YO !!! HAS ANYONE BEEN BACK DOWN THIS STREET LATELY??!!! I don't live on the east coast anymore (Portland Oregon now but REALLY REALLY BAD want to move back) ... anyway this past Xmas i visited NYC and NJ, and while walking thru Manhattan wanted to see the old hang outs, when i turned on KING ??? .... at first i just thought i was in the wrong place (King street is about 3 to 4 blocks long) but checked my bearings, if you look up 7th you can see S.O.B's on the right side of the street, YEAH, I'M IN THE RIGHT PLACE, i was in Shock. The garage styled building is now an APARTMENT BUILDING!!! OMG !!! WOW, TIME TRULY TRULY TRULY DOES MARCH ON.

Legendary

I am so glad this video is out there so these fake A*S DJ's who profess to know the genesis of DJ pedigree and never heard of Larry Lavan. Worse when his work is introduced they tried to play it off with these appropriators of Black music posing in so-called dance spots which are really bars to get folks drunk. The audacity to suggest their "spinning" "religiosized" the folks to dance as you see in this video 30 years after the heyday of The paradise Garage and Larry Levan. I was not there in the heyday of Sarah Vaughn, Big Momma Thornton, Billy Holiday, Fats Domino. But when I became serious about my craft, I consumed everything about them I could. Tik Tok and other forms of the current social media craze have contributed to the destruction of creativity and exploration. Mono depressed "think sells" have been turned off and replaced by self-adulation musical expression with no core or soul. This barren mind and consciousness have given way to the escalation of clinical depression, and a medicated generation ill-equipped to deal with the oppression that is sweeping the world, while the current chronicling of social civil rights struggles is deduced to strippers and opportunists looking for a "Kardashian" moment, dragging their private parts across the dusty national stages of America. Check out the scenes captured in this reunion in front of the spot where the Garage was once housed. Listen to what the people say about that period in America. No one had to argue over pronouns because everyone from all walks of life was dancing to the same beat on the same dance floor and the club did not serve Whisky. Race, gender. sexuality, age, the class were all affirmed. And now front and center are these marginally talented neurotic heavily medicated songwriting neophytes comparing themselves to Dylan, Sylvester, Mayfield, and Aretha. It is the sign of the end of youth using their art to preserve humanity.
