[@mran5758]

This jam and the original takes me back to the block parties, backyard BBQ's and the school yard jams......OOOHHH Yeah can't forget the Friday and Saturday master mixes on 98.7 KISS-FM New York and WBLS 107.5-FM in New York. Yes those were the days.........Oh one more thing.......can't forget the BOOM BOX that's the size of a Samsonite suitcase that took about 18 D batteries and if you were lucky you had a hand truck or dolly toting a car battery just to keep that box running........lol

[@TonyTone1]

This jam takes me way way back to the 80’s in the NYC Rockaway beach handball courts and house parties 🎉 etc.

[@enriqueelpiquemedina2665]

Yoooo I remember heading bk 2 Brooklyn n taking the A train coming bk from Far Rock....bro jammed the original the whole train ride. I was probably 18, 19....PERFECT unwind tune after a crazy day in the sun. Word.

[@MariaMagdalenaNievesGonzalez]

I miss that station bad!

[@lindapaskovich7781]

from north jersey but very manhtattan, love it,lived it, rembemerd it!!,

[@djmagiz]

the 80's rule forever !!!

[@mayorsanders]

Killer cut high school jazz band played this with passion

[@btheluvdoctor]

I had this back in the day. I was very fortunate to have a local record shop that sold bootlegs.

[@njplr]

One of the better versions of the Greatest Dance Anthem of All Time, probably because it comes off more like a mix of the original than a remake. Is there a NY/NJ?Philly 70s-80s partier who DOESN'T jump out of their seat when they hear this played even today? 84 King Forever...

[@ThaBrooklynHurricane2]

NY in the house . . . jumpin IN my seat!!! lolol BROOKLYN IN THE HIZZZOUSE!!

[@michaelcannon8718]

+njplr = I am one of those Philly partiers who you mention. Lady Bunny just led me in my minds eye back to this song and my days in Catacombs on 12th St and Walnut back in the 80's. This song was my life!! I vacillate between jamming and crying listening to this music again. Happiest days of my life!!!!

[@pictureisup1]

Never there was a another version. How did I miss this. Still MFSB is the best

[@luizhonorio9917]

🎧🇧🇷 OUVINDO!!!!!

[@IvanKingmusic]

I love it. It sounds like the one they used in the film Paris is Burning of which I am OBSESSED with!!!

[@maxitaloafrican]

Ivan King what an amazing film!!! Are you watching Pose, it's a tv series based on the film. Amazing. Tens across the board!

[@bobjary9382]

That is an amazing film on so many levels

[@louise_rose]

Yes, I think this is the version of the song where the ancestry leading towards "Deep In Vogue" (1989) really starts to become apparent. DIV, of course, used samples of "Paris is Burning" which was still unreleased at the time. Haven't seen the film but I love Deep In Vogue, such a masterful track and a watershed recording. The Waltz Darling album really deserves a special edition re-release, and one track that should be included on such a project would be: the original edit of DIV; before Mark Moore and William Orbit set about remixing and expanding it, and adding all the samples.

[@emesvideo]

I could listen this every day & be happy. :-)

[@dj_on_hugo]

it's the first time i hear this amazin version....i search the record, thank's 4 post it

[@beacon1045]

I had this on vinyl I remember the shiny silver label. Lent it to a friend down the street and never got it back.

[@antasatibal]

very good cover of mfsb! this band also released an epic sample of bo horne: sixty-nine, which still impresses me after all these years!!! thx for sharin bro!!

[@macintosser]

I love the simplicity of this track and of people back then: one great bassline and everybody went out of their skulls and had a great "effing" time... At the end of the day, you don't need much to have a great time: good people around you, a good vibe and a good tune... the great atmosphere you create together and not with bullshit superfluous stuff... 'cause if the atmosphere isn't there, no amount of gimmicks can make it for you.

[@jamierobinson2373]

bad arse tune 😮

[@stantorain3482]

That’s it right there. My all time favorite hustle record. For those of you that ever went to club 371 you know Hollywood tore this up

[@robertosalvador5708]

Very good track song

[@introspective7200]

No one in NJ or NY would be dancing to this version, you would get booed out of the Zanzibar, Club America, Garage, Tunnel.....this is a relax in your home or office...there will only be one!!!

[@zeldaclark3478]

Thanks for taking me back down memory lane; I lived in Zanzibar in NJ as well as the other clubs you've listed.

[@njplr]

I beg to differ, Larry played this ALL the time, for a period there, particularly during the late set hours (10 Am to noon). I remember it like it was yesterday. After a few months of it, I was sick of it and longed to get back to just dancing to the original. But this version most definitely had its day.

[@hardcorehouse]

Playing it at 10-12 am basically reinforces my point; that time of the day they could play almost anything, including filler, given the conditon of the crowd at that time. Strictly B material filler.

[@njplr]

Will D You couldn't be more wrong. That Garage crowd KNEW its music, that's why went there there, and stayed till the noon closing. "Filler" music was NOT acceptable. 'B' music at The Garage - HAH! I can't say I like every song played equally, and I already admitted that this one got on my nerves after a bit - but Larry never descended into that "who-cares-what's-being-played" thing one could find at other clubs.

[@hardcorehouse]

If you really knew the G, you'd know that there were plenty of times that Larrys mixes SUCKED, especially as the drugs became bigger parts of his life. You're too loyal and sentimental; I was there, with a better, clearer memory. YOU go and dance to this, it's elevator music.

[@yasorg]

15 years !

[@raimundobatista8578]

best music

[@JERZEYSKOLJA]

This classic is 30 yrs old and sounds better than all that bullshit on the radio! Nuffield said!

Schoner Classic

[@jigsawlover9993]

This on the jam.

[@MrNafease]

This was the closeout song at Twin City Roller Rink!!

[@louise_rose]

I've always been a big admirer of Deep in Vogue, this amazing and really groundbreaking track. Someone pointed out a few references and nods to Love is the Message in DiV, so I've been checking out a few versions of this equallt classic song - from the 1973 original to the Larry Levan and Danny Krivit versions from the late 1980s. I think this 1982 recording is where you really begin to hear the pedigree of what would become Deep in Vogue several years later.. The light, funky bassline, the keyboard harmonics, and of course the saxophone (though the original had ample brass as well). I don't think the references take away any of the originality of either track though - both are landmark recordings! :)

[@WilliamMays-hz5cl]

Ian Starr - love is the message - Todd Terry mix

Great Beat. Even if you are gong to kill me out there, but i also love the Rap-Version from Chilly-T and Stevie B.
