I was just a kid in the 80s but damn I loved those days. The fashion, the music, the hair it was all outrageous and fantastic at the same time. I feel that was the last era that really broke boundaries in music. The 90s fizzled out and it hasn’t been the same since.
@laurakali65223 жыл бұрын
Generic White Bitch imagine being 18- 25 years old during this time? It was crazy. We we legally able to go to bars at 18 in my state because the drinking age had not gone to 21 yet and once it did, we were grandfathered in. So much fun. The late 70’s were fun too but the early 80’s were insanely fun.

I feel bad for the kids today. I was in junior high when this came out. All us kids learned to dance to and we danced to jams like this all the time.. Its how we got to me girls then! Hell, there aren't even dance clubs around anymore. Sad!

That bass gets your attention, Chaka's voice draws you in, and then when the lead guitar comes in, it's over. You're done, in love with this song, and will love it forever. Now that's what I call a reaction. You feel exactly what Chaka and Rufus intended you to feel.

She's been around since the 1970's. Her real name is Yvette Marie Stevens who took her name after an African Warrior. She got her first big break with Rufus whose breakthrough Song is Tell Me Something Good written by Stevie Wonder. In 1985 when she came back with "I Feel For You" Stevie played his Harmonica for her. Check out "Do You Love What You Feel" or "I'm Every Woman" which was a Song to empower Black Women.

I had my funk and soul time in my teenager years back in the 80s (am 50 now). That song was one of the greatest back then and still is. I remember to record regularly from a radio show of british broadcast in west germany (BFBS - they had a funk and soul show called "soul train"). Brings a lot of good memories. This song was huge in germany in the time when the "breakdance"-fever came through so lot of people put it in there - although its just different. Whole song structure, sounding and of course especially Chaks Khans singing. Nice to see your reaction :)
