[@fairdose]

Oh the joys of being a child and teen during the 1980’s! Riding my bike safely through the neighbourhood, countless kids to play with, everyday seemed sunny, days lazing about at the local pool with 2-stick popsicles which you could buy for 25 cents and listing to tunes like this one on the pool speakers. How come no one makes music like this anymore? Such simpler times.

My favorite Ray Parker Jr song

[@DuchesslisaWilson]

I went to school with his sister, niece, or cousin(can't remember) back at Northwestern in Detroit and met him when he picked her up some times. He was cool. Those were the days, when you played two/four square in the street, and faygo pop cost .75 cents and you had to have Bettermade chips. Those were the days wh0en you sat on your neighbors porch and chilled out. No kid got shot for going to the wrong house to pick up their siblings. You rode your bike, til it was time to watch the Crosy show as a family. 😊

[@jahlaune]

My mother loved this song . She rarely listened to R&B called it racket . But one day I saw her listening and agreeing with this song. It shocked me. I can see her now just listening to this . I guess ppl married for a long time go thru these times and theirs a song for that . I understand this now

[@brianhines1452]

This is a solid message: "A Woman Needs Love Just Like You Do.". The 80's was a crucial decade for music.

[@YinSar]

Absolutely.... The '80 was about the best decade for contemporary music.... featuring STARS like Michael Jackson, Diana Ross (Muscle), Lionel Richie (All Night Long), The Whispers, Yarborough and People's, Donna Summer, Chaka Khan, Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, Shannon (Let the Music Play), Lisa Lisa, Colonel Abraham, The Cameo, Rick James, Prince, Deniece Willams (Let's Hear It For the Boy), Ray Parker Jnr, Shalamar (Howard Hewett, Jody Wately, Jeffrey Daniels).... etc. It was a great decade!

Yes! Love The System (fell in love with Don't Disturb This Groove in kindergarten) during a Christmas crafts fundraiser event: the radio station someone had turned up at their personal booth had decided to play that between a couple Christmas songs. By the by, did you know the duo worked with Jeff Lorber in his Step by Step album? Granted, you were more focused on Murphy's vocals; but you still can't _not_ hear their presence.
