Lil Louis & The World - I Called U (But You Weren't There)

[@justinday2243]

In January 1990 this made number 15 in the uk top 40, when the British kids knew about music...RAVE ON..

[@doubleyewgee]

It had ZERO airtime here in US. Those of us who knew it only found it during the French Kiss release. And we wore it out.

[@chapmandavid1020]

Oh boy... We were grooving off this in the NYC.. The bottom full and round...

[@JLF74uk05]

They played it on capital radio on hot mix... Christmas 1989... it was worth radio taping.

[@Warp75]

Yeah we really did know about music. Nowadays nobody cares

[@hanifmackey7604]

I’m from Newark NJ….sensations….. Zanzibar… I’m done talking.

[@charlitamarshall7067]

Loved the Zanzibar in New Jersey but Baltimore Md Odell’s Wayne Davis tore it up and Cignel’s Fantasy’s Baltimore, Maryland so I won’t forget The Club House and Traxx in Washington D.C. Philly at the Cyclone. So many more 😂House Music Lives 😎❤️💕🙏🏽🥰💯😃

[@I-Dophler]

I finally stumbled upon this gem today! 🎶 #LateToTheParty #BetterLateThanNever

[@teachingisagift]

The "conversation/vocals" make this song for me. It's what makes it unique. All the other versions take the conversational part out. I only heard this song twice in 21 years, been looking for it ever since!

[@jonnafry]

ditto

[@catmalogen23]

10 years later it still rrrrrrocks

[@ellew6773]

@@catmalogen23 more like 22 years, and still pumping! JACK ON, FAM!!

[@Mightyoverevery1]

I know why. Definitely an event when you heard this in the clubs, on the dance floor, because that’s the only way you’re going to hear this back then💃🏿🕺🏾

[@stefanocaneschi2996]

Such a genius.. freaking vibes.. Chicago’s best ..

[@stuartbagley2586]

Vibes before Vibes were a thing. . .

[@wayneashby7841]

Never gets old and the lyrics are still so on point, fact

[@fowleys]

I heard this once in the 90's ...almost 30 years later it still plays in my head

[@JLF74uk05]

Made some great tracks... I probably heard the mainstream stuff but it was great. Blackout was on deep heat 6 and then one of the greats came on one Saturday night club lonely... we was in a cab going to a barbecue . Loved that song... Happy memories.

[@sinpetit]

"Why is it that people don't realize what they have until it's gone? It's like winning the lottery and throw away your tickets to play again... It doesn't make sense."

[@jaymansbridge6131]

I bought this tune in 1990 when I was 17 think I still have it the loft, Steve Wright on radio 1 used to take the piss out of it

[@MrTonmachine]

how good is this, mid forties now , i used to love this guy

[@MoneyNoMo]

I'm mid forties now. All good

[@joekennedy5151]

Christ almighty, this is magic! Takes me right back.

[@allthatbex]

I'm so pleased I remembered this track and that it was available to listen to again on here. I was completely obsessed with this when I was thirteen even though everyone I knew couldn't stand it! Ha!

[@DoktorKoch]

[@bratattack5]

EPIC!!! I've not heard this for over 20 years. When l tried looking a few years ago I found nothing. Big cheers for posting.

[@clay13x]

Classic Chi-town

[@mayena]

There is a official video to this. I remember watching it in 1989.

[@evanscott8951]

A true Tunnel classic! 1989!!

[@eugeneballard6724]

Classic Lil Louis song. Even though this was made in 1989 this song is still revelant today

[@Hammerton32]

Everything about this track works! The intro phone rings then her disconnected yet possessive voice over that jazzy beat.

[@doctorcrankyflaps1724]

The piano make this tune for me : )

[@USNVA11]

Bought this cd when it came out. Still jammin’ to it thirty years later.

[@jasonharris7770]

One of the greatest tracks ever put down....

[@troyhallradio20]

Life is too short to live alone....priceless!!

[@qutebbw]

[@eddie12454]

Wonderful, funny and thought provoking too. Still wish she'd stop ringing me. 😊

[@michaelsmith-ws2mb]

[@ellew6773]

"It's like winning the lotto, and throwing the ticket out to play again.....(it just doesnt make sense)".....classic!

[@BradBrassman]

Fond memories of this and steve Wright in the afternoon, who called the woman voice on this "Linda, staring-eyes, breadknife"

[@AugustineChad]

Wickedest track from back in the day.... Memories....

[@abdlt-78]

I heard this in the early 2000 and man it blow my head! I heard it on a mix tape from tony cano.

[@cacahabibi6136]

Amazing song

[@FunkRoberts]

I wonder if the same sax or producer was also on V.T. Connection ‎- I Want You - You Want Me (Original Mix) - cause at 4:56 the exact same sax starts off I want you, you want me...

[@adg_87]

This that smoove, house shoes, polka dot button up, 5 parts in ya hightop fade joint!

[@de1hagar]
