Loose Ends - Choose Me (Rescue Me) 1984

[@123slasher.16]

On my 1985 flight to Japan, I played this song over and over.

[@ikefillmore298]

A Timeless Classic. That Sax, Bassline and Female Vocals A Killer!! The Year Was the Spring Of 1985. I was The Program Director For WMXY in Georgia at that time and this song wasn't even a single yet. But I had this cut in Heavy rotation from the album, that just how Big & Great of Song It was (Choose me or Lose Me)...

Beautiful.. Listening too this as a young kid Wow.. I'm 47 now . And I'm still In love with 70s n 80s music.. And at times it makes me cry.. What happen too those days ??? It is so deeply missed...

"Choose me, baby, don't lose me." Smooth.

[@KevinLeMelle]

The 80s was my generation. No selling sex on the bodies. Just music you can listen to. I graduated from high school in 1985. Great R&B masterpiece.

[@roseiswine8294]

I graduated that same year.. We know what that era of music gives. It was all good!

[@wakeboardbob]

I graduated in 86 but it took me ALOT LONGER to appreciate some good jazz, funk, blues, reggae in addition to the good old standby classic rock.

[@rilfann1]

I graduated in 86 and I've been rocking with Loose Ends since their first album in 83

[@eddiewallace3362]

Our era was one of the most diverse era of music sooo many different genres like this song that symbolize the time of our youth. Peace

[@eddiewallace3362]

​@@rilfann1I can't get enough of loose ends!!!

[@CarlaLinton-pj5jn]

Carla Linton I remember this song when I was 9 Years old and like it then. And I still like it now.

[@Lisa_Evers]

this song has that rare combo of being chill and funky at the same time...a great hook!

[@ericwilson5944]

Exactly Playa 💯

[@Musicfiend4ever]

You know!

[@AuthenticSelector64]

The 1980s... for Black People in the UK.... was like 1960s in USA.... creative musician explosion... and Loose Ends...the best UK Soul had....

[@nobsoul2179]

I like that analogy

[@IronMan-tk8uc]

Fully agree. 80s black music was in such a high standing that I can't even put properly in words and Loose Ends sure was on the vanguard.

[@TheAteeyah]

Sexy sax intro,props to Londons' Black Artists.This is my favorite jam by Loose Ends.

[@sidneyhall2226]

I'll ALWAYS LOVE LOOSE ENDS

[@reedallaboutit590]

Check out hanging on a string by Loose Ends that's another showstopper by them

[@stevenboyd4664]

A Loose Ends classic!

[@marcjam9018]

Loose Ends by far in my own opinion is one of the best groups to ever record music. From Super Sha "L"

[@markJohnson-ot7ny]

The best soul studio band to come out London England of that era . Finally, this song was made almost 40 years ago still sound great! M

[@willfox9588]

"Choose Me" was one of my highway cruising songs.

[@pamsanford4245]

This song was always played on New York 's best R&B station WBLS when I was in high school. I use to listen to it after school while during homework 📚... Brings back a lot of memories...

[@blacktigeress6035]

Me too

[@NJbakintheday]

I feel you, Pam. This song brings back a specific memory of the summer after high school graduation, right before I left for the army, sitting in my car in Jersey with this girl I'd been trying to get close to for the longest time... listening to "BLS" and this song comes on. The rest is history. She's no longer with us, but I'll never forget.

[@dupree68]

We are all related in a hood way...this music confounded us from east to west....this jam seems different played in the a.m hours like 3 or 4...takes us to that special place

[@jamesbutler8226]

I used to listen to this driving in my car that was the jam

[@deepnation10009]

Yes! WBLS!

[@aligned576]

Your love's inside of meeeeeeee. Come and rescue me. OMG!!! I love this song with all my soul. The 80s were the SHIT!!! Thumbs up if you were privileged to experience it;-)

[@Jason-lv4uu]

I was real young back then but I was there and remember this song clearly

[@reedallaboutit590]

Bentleys Was The Club To Be At Back In The 80's In New York When this song was banging.. Mike Tyson..Knicks Players...Everyone who wanted to be seen was at BENTLEYS

[@fakephoenixprince]

This track is cold😬 One of the best 80s tracks ever.

[@richardadams4851]

Yes Sir

[@samanthahackett462]

One of the best music groups of the 80’s. The songs were fire! This is one of my favorite!

[@kdemonde]

I believe this song hit New York radio in 1985 even though it was produced earlier. I think Loose Ends "A Little Spice" album came out in 1984 but hit the states in 1985 and on New York radio as well. and i fell in love with group ever since,i became a total fan. I bought thier "cassettes" everytime they came out with another album and i had thier albums too LOL! those were the days....

[@erronmcgriff8295]

One of the best bands ever

I wasn’t even born yet when this song was released (1998) but I’m in love with music from this generation.👌🏾

[@michaelc.gonsalves544]

Although this song is about an ultimatum, it takes you an island paradise at night with a warm ocean breeze.

[@Skyjuice70]

Not really an ultimatum. Actually, it's "Choose me baby, don't loose me", opposed to, "or loose me". But I hear you on that paradise island vision. Loose Ends one of my all time fav R&B groups to this day.

[@hugojohnson5340]

I was at my cousin Doris house when I feel in love with this song Iam almost 60 an still love it

[@musicbizdc]

Which is exactly where I am listening to it right now 🏝️ SXM2024 😉

[@Musicfiend4ever]

Fantastic! Even in 2022 this track will slay! There is no comparison. The sax and female vocal is to die for. Loose Joints was and is the ultimate! Mad respect to the UK. They know music!

[@Musicfiend4ever]

OMG! 1984 and still ain’t no group in 2020 to rival Loose Ends This sounds just as fresh as it did back in 1984 and will bring out the best in any dancer. Just Sublime!

Rinsed this hard at the youth club...I was around 10 years old and used to slip into the senior group where my ear was tuned very quickly to quality music. Big up the UK soul scene for this unique British soul.

Thank Philly producer Nick Martinelli for the smooth groove of this ,and a number of their other great songs. A perfect melding of talented performers and excellent production..

[@AClarionCallMinistry]

Don't know why certain memories just stay with you. I'll never forget that day, freshman year in high school was coming to an end - final week, maybe. That girl, a graduating senior, in the student lounge singing this song spot on. I never heard it. I wasn't cool yet. Later that night it came on the radio. I sat in my room alone. I smiled... I knew then I loved my high school and that those years would be memorable. It's just icing on the cake that Loose Ends were the music playing in the background of many of my fondest high school memories. "There's no doubt in my mind that all good things will come in time"... Everyone wants to be rescued.
