Yup!!! The originators of music, movement and entertainment. Amazingggggg 😍🥰❤️

[@erichill4926]

This is a once-in-a-lifetime gem. When I first seen this video of Cynthia Johnson singing it it was like wow. Anyway, it was a dispute with the record label she didn't even do the video but they have three women in the club dancing to it and everybody thought that was the original group. To the Young generation you have no idea who you're watching this woman was a great mystery.

[@susanhenry5517]

[@ignaciodavidramonramirez1091]

el productor, compositor, escritor, y creador de todos los sonidos de está canción fue Steven Greenverg, pero eso no le dio el derecho de querer desaparecer a Cynthia, gracias a su voz esta canción logro más que cualquier otra canción de discos, su voz llevó a esta canción a ser la mejor de la historia de todas las canciones de discos. Gracias steven, pero fuiste todo un imbécil tratar así a una mujer y sobre todo una dama con lo es y será siempre Cynthia Jonson.

[@paul7919af]

Muy bien dicho.

[@soundfree232]

En una entrevista Greenverg dijo que cuando contrato a Cynthia para cantar Funkytown , fue ella misma quien le pidió no aparecer en la portada del single por que la canción no le gustaba y que la canto solo por el dinero que le ofrecio . Cynthia creía que la canción jamás sería un éxito. Cuando la canción empezó a sonar en todo el mundo y a recibir premios , recién Cynthia empezó a pedir ser reconocida .

[@LuisValencia6583]

Sencillamente: LA VERRAQUERA!!! Mucho derroche de talento y elegancia al bailar de la real cantante y esa potente voz bien impostada y matizada. Maravillosa!!! y que cadencia entre todos los instrumentos en una incesante inter comunicación precisa y desbordante de energía!!! Y ese bajo que lleva el liderato en la melodía es absolutamente fantástico y el músico del órgano con su toque elegante en la última octava y en los sonidos que imitan a los violines, la batería con su ritmo preciso, la percusión alrededor con ese instrumento que parece una clave y la guitarra eléctrica también tiene su protagonismo y esos cambios de ritmo en general, todo ello, en conjunto, hacen de este tema una verdadera joya musical. Tenía yo 17 años cuando estaba en su furor!

Hey guess who was the first radio DJ to ever play this song on the radio world wide? Me... hahaha. I got the World Premier (under the DJ name of Bill Bauman...) on Disco 104 - KFMX ! Recorded at Sound 80 Studios in South Minneapolis just off East Lake Street a mile from where I grew up on 40th and Minnehaha S., smack dab between Sound 80 and Minnehaha Falls. Lipps Inc headed up by Steve Greenberg with Cindy Johnson vocals. Between Lipps Inc, Prince, The Time, Hüsker Dü, The Replacements, The Suburbs and a lot more put Minnesota on the map! Any Minnesotans here? Love this song. Thanks for posting!
