52nd STREET-TELL ME HOW IT FEELS

52nd STREET-TELL ME HOW IT FEELS
1985. Produced by Nick Martinelli...
one of the best producers in the 80s

[@urbanvikingalereview]

I am a metal head but this will always be one of the greatest songs I have ever heard in my life. It brings back memories of Summer in the 80's. Me as a kid playing air saxophone in my room to my 52nd Street album on cassette and my Mum moaning at me to turn it down. Echoes in the wind. Smiles. Days which can never be relived.

[@JulioSantos-xj2og]

Agreed.Thank you..God Bless

[@Solidus.boss08]

im 23 and i love old school its so much better than todays non sense music..i can pop in some sos and just cruise to it in my camaro with the t tops off driving down pacific coast highway..one of the best feeling ever..

[@THATREALBREW]

We were all spoiled with music like this blaring from our radios back then. It really did set the mood for the times. Feel good stuff. ...Not trying to go back there or complain about now, but it was real coo. shalom

[@DirtySouthLuver2000]

This has got to be one of the greatest songs of all time. I can't stop listening to this! Rocks so hard

[@miteyc]

This was the "Real British Invasion" no doubt. Loose Ends, Junior, BB&Q Band, Imagination, etc. American R&B groups could barely keep up with the genre routed in their past with some notable exceptions. Just a fantastic group and song simply put. Great post!

[@timothyeverly6809]

Beautiful song 😊.

[@MsSouldiva]

Please tell me this isn't 32 years old ~ still sounds INCREDIBLE.

[@butterg9535]

Sure will - it's 38 years old, almost 39. Memories of those days feel good.

[@clemack12]

ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED BANDS EVER..... NOW TELL ME HOW IT FEELS TO HEAR REAL MUSIC!!!!

[@Telboy2011]

Big tune.....got this on 12" vinyl......British 80's soul at its best......good times.

[@timothyeverly6809]

It's cool 52st street 😮.

[@hullthebull]

80's nights out , just how much good soul music was out then !!!!!!! we where spoiled

[@yamayama761]

Can anyone recommend a radio station that stills plays this type of soul music? Amazing stuff. Doesnt sound one day old!! Hearing stuff like this makes you realise we were spoiled for good music in the 80's.

[@galacticnine]

This brings back crazy memories in the camaro with the t- tops off blazin through the streets of Newark NJ.

[@joejokool]

i may be in my early 20's but i can honestly say i was raised on this music thankfully to my parents . . i love them and i love this music . . true music will never die as long as i'm alive . . let the old school live on, my brothas 'n sistas!!

[@rightknowledgeman]

This has that SMOOTH 80s ish written all over it.The vibe on this one is mad cool.

[@Jazzhop101]

When Soul, Jazz and Hip Hop met in the 80’s Beautiful production Beautiful vibes! ❤

[@mishun1]

I was like 15 when this joint was out. Brings back mad memories. Still bangin' today 25 yrs later.

[@e.t6716]

Brought back memories of secondary school days in the 80s in Cape Coast, Ghana. Wonderful sound ❤. Never knew they were a British group, no wonder the loose ends vibes. Memories,life is just flitting.

[@r1matsta]

[@ELBenni1]

3 ppl dont noe how it feels!! this jus a killer beat!! an A+ track!

[@Ibantar]

Nick Martinelli was the bomb as a producer and he never got the recognition that he should have receieved. The work he did with Phyllis Hyman was awesome! Where ya at Nick? Music needs u Bad!!!!

Thanks to my mom, I'm so thankful and proud to have been brought up on GOOD REAL MUSIC! Damn the melody and vocals... "Won't you tell me, do you feel it, do you feeeeel it like I doooo, Won't you tell me, won't you tell me - iiiiiiiiiiiii do you feeel itttt, am I alone, oooooh help me to understand WHY IT IS , WHY IT IT IS!

this is music for nighttime reflection, for looking at the city lights, it's just the perfect mood music.

[@leffftttyyy]
