We're on a downward spiral and it started when we started to accept the unacceptable. When we started to accept lower and lower standards in expression (both verbal and visual), in morals and in behaviour. We passed the no return point.

This is the kind of music/song/jam that anyone who has no rhythm whatsoever; still can dance and groove any kind of way! With all due respect; most (not all) of the "noise pollution" in "2020" that the masses consider music does not compare in no way, shape, nor fashion! One of the best roller skating jams/songs ever! I remember this song playing inside of the "Empire Roller skating Rink" in the 1980s growing up as a kid in Crown heights/Flatbush/Brooklyn. Respect and major thanks to "Imagination"! 1980s had to be one of the best decades in the 20th century for music, culture, movies, creativity, fashion, and the overall human condition! Yes; there are many of us that enjoy the art of reminiscing about the nostalgia of the "1980s"!
