TODAY - WHY YOU GET FUNKY ON ME

[@ants8527]

The New Jack Swing Era From 1986" to about 1993" was a funtime And always will bring back memories of my childhood in the 80s And my teen days of the early mid 90s🎶😎

[@donmiles3927]

Facts! Pretty much exactly that date range/years as well! 👍 Case in point, almost every other song had me as one of the FIRST to hit the dance floor......and I was a very reserved INTROVERT. New Jack...turned me out! Arguably my favorite era in all music history!

[@iplayinthemud]

New Jack Swing is immortalized in my heart and soul...it will forever remind me of my 1st love and the innocence of youth!!

[@cameron_fairchild]

One of the best vocal recordings ever. The leads, the harmonies, the breaks, the ad libs, the performance.

[@BlaydeAlabama]

Holy moleyayyyyyy!

[@michaelmason8772]

I remember dressing the style that Today use to rock back in the days when the New Jack Swing was the bomb. Brothers was not sagging and sisters were not dressed like hookers I miss that era.

[@adriennerobinson1180]

Oh Yes

[@a.b.sproductionsllc]

The ladies were dressing sexy but they had a uniquensss to them unlike today.

[@raider7782]

My first year of college. Man I was getti g into trouble in a good way!😜😂😜😂😜

[@LaCheleWallace]

I just love this version. It has so much bump. My song forever.

[@antoniowyckoff2]

Why did this kind of sound leave us?

[@handsomeX]

Great question! 💯🔥

[@Darkanent]

Rap and the record labels destroyed R&B.

[@whymindsetmatters]

The shoulder pads! 80s 90s were lit!

[@retroguy1976]

house party soundtrack lol

[@ladicassh01]

As a kid who loved to dance New Jack Swing was unmatched 💯🔥

[@dominicchester0328]

New jack swing era was the best got damn!!

[@adriennerobinson1180]

Truth Indeed

[@latymz]

Days of dances, clubs, crushes, and fly rides.

[@WillsJazzLoft]

WOW! It's understandable that all those moves would leave them breathless. But then I look at old videos of James Brown and I see that same energy and exuberance being delivered. Think I've Got That Feeling ( not to be confused with the tune recorded by Today )

[@catboyzee]

Big Bub's baritone voice kinda reminds me of 80s R&B singer James 'D-Train' Williams.

[@sayecarrie]

Infidel14? I agree.

[@tazzhardwick7466]

Infidel14? damn near identical i always thought that as well

[@iluvmyboba]

I never made that comparison. But, I hear it loud and clear.

[@robertbrooks1509]

Wasnt at Yokosuka but at Yokota at that time. Yokosuka, Yokota and Atsugi use to get poppin
