The production quality on this song is unbelievable. Those "Minnesota" style Prince-esque Funk Bass guitar licks, the drum kit, that phenomenal keyboard solo, the vocals. And all performed by minors! That's mind-blowing. This song still slaps HARD, some 37 years later. 80's Babies, stand up!

Prince-esque? More like Morris and The Time to me. All good though since they are a product of the Twin City dance club invasion.

[@dwightlove3704]

C.Sanders Somebody robbed them blind at the height of the popularity it was mentioned in the documentary UNSUNG.

[@RocStarr913]

They never became popular enough to become household names despite their hit singles. There were many different factors: there was clear bias against their ethnicity from some record buyers, their sound, which was fairly derivative, had become dated very quickly, and the kind of music that was popular had changed by the end of the decade and the band’s sound had already fallen dramatically out of fashion by then. They also had turned down songs that became hit singles for other performers like Milli Vanilli’s “Blame It On The Rain” and Selena’s “Dreaming Of You.”

[@Che_mo80]

i had no freakin idea until yesterday that they came up in Minnie. Makes complete sense now. Thats why they were so good. I was in the 4th or 5th grade when they came out. im 44 now. The sound, keyboard riffs, guitar licks, dance moves, everything, it's the Minnie sound.

[@lashid4u371]

This song was SO underrated - liked this SO MUCH MORE than "Crush On You", but that's how it, usually, is with the songs that I prefer (they are the songs least preferred by the mainstram) ..Minneapolis artists kept it funky in the 80s, when many R&B artists outside of hip hop became afraid to get too funky (I hear that "Erotic City" bassline) ..this song, and "Rockit 2 U" are my favs from this group

[@robertsilva8097]

I miss the 1980s I was a kid when this song came out I was 12 years old when this video came out the 1980s great music gray clothes great hairdo Great Haircuts great movies the 1980s was the best Decade Ever they Do Not make music like this No More

[@tunghoilam2666]

The clothes in the 80's had more vibrant colour in contrast to the clothes of the 90's.

[@finisher3x]

Early 90s were still colorful. But you're right. As we go deeper into the 90s, it got more dark. i know by the time 1997 rolled around, it seems as if my entire wardrobe was blue and black.

[@FreshRose-z3s]

Too much beige in the 90's.

[@FreshRose-z3s]

That's because 80's fashion imitated 60's fashion. If you notice, trends tend to occur every twenty years.

[@NachtSchreck13]

Very much so. What is considered by most to be "The 80's" really happened in 83, and blew up in 84, which I consider to be the most pivotal and epitomal year of the 80's. Bright neon and fluorescent colors ruled from 83-87. 87-88 saw a transition to jeans, then leather by 88-89. 88-89, the colors were white and black. Lots of black. 1989, Black was what you saw everyone wearing. Black leather jackets everywhere. 90-91 saw a return of some of the colorful vibrant energy of the mid-80's, bleeding into 92, which blew up into the psychedelic look of early Rave style. Grunge was also huge, which was stripped down casual wear. Jeans, T-shirt, flannels. From 94 -99 things just got progressively more minimal and black until you got to The Matrix look.

[@finisher3x]

@@FreshRose-z3s - the beige was gang influenced.
