SEQUAL - "It's Not Too Late" (1985)

Original 12" version

[@circusintheeightees]

This was one of those songs that you would work your Saturday.. get home rest up and eat. Put on your favorite cassette and crank it as loud as you can..look in your closet to see what your were going to wear and start getting ready. By the time you were done you know your were going to an awsome time. Everything was dialed and if you were driving your car washed and ready to play this song. Every weekend was the same. a club, a house party, a cruising spot or a 15 or wedding. When this song came on your were in a different world. One that you felt everything was perfect........

[@An9eL_C]

Frank you practically described my weekends when I was a teen.... Was underage so the clubs were far and between but with the car washed it was house party, cruising spot and 15's, even did the banquet hall open house parties lololol.... Thanks for the reminder...

This is one of the top 10 best freestyle songs in my opinion ever cruising Central Avenue Yonkers back in the day

[@reyforjesus]

when I feel discouraged and I pray to God I really feel God playing this song to me and in my mind when I hear the words they're so heavenly inspiring to me like if God is telling me it's not too late to love it's not too late it's just so beautiful and by the power that she sings it is feel the power and call and urgency of God Love especialy when she screams "IM TELLING YOUUUU!" I feel like that's God speaking to me and I don't care what anybody says that's my faith. : )

Yes Love it's not too late when I lived in Fontana and San Bernardino, California I was so much in love and the only gay nightclub The Skylark I used to be in love with someone in Berdo and all my X's in Fontana. Thanks for sharing your experience with this favorite song of the 80s🥰

[@breakthrough8628]

When you feel like that, the "goose bumps" sort of feeling while listening to a certain song, show gratitude for what you desire as if you have it. The Law of Attraction will bring it to you in time. In that emotional state you have immense energetic power. Do this over and over. You Result Will Be Awesome!

[@DeanWinchester69]

As a fellow GL and '80s teen I couldn't agree with you more! I definitely rode the free-style wave of the late '80s! These ladies had a similiar sound to Expose, another all female vocal group that kicked butt in the '80s.

OK, Here to set the record straight. This is a freestyle/DIsco fusion. True that Freestyle came from MIami, but that is all that was big in Miami. I have been Deejaing since the 80's in LA, deejayed in Miami back in the day.Miami did not have the intensity of the Hi NRG scene that LA had. LA was the major importer of Euro, Italo & Hi NRG disco back in the day. So overall , the dance scene was more complete in SoCal in the 80's. Thank you Miami for your input to a great half decade.

Memories from SGV, ELA to Hollywood! Back then us guys could dance to this and we had the girls and the guys would give us props; now if we dance we are considered gay...screw them I still bump this and still have the mini truck here in southern calif!! Remember the ol sayin: history repeats itself--this has to come back hard to crush the nonsense of today!! Spray some of that aqua-net on that today stuff!!

[@jonjor1987]

agree. if you dance 80's today you might be called homosexual unless you dance todays dancing and make yourself look like a dumbbutt and it doesn't even look good like back in the days of the 80's ( at least most of the dancing did anyways).

[@soozkatt]

You are so right, nothing like the House Parties from South LA (South Gate, HB, Bell) ELA and all the Clubs! I miss those precious times! If our kids experienced it, they would reconsider the shit they listen to now!

I don't think today's music is crap, unlike what most people say. Here's the deal: 80s music was so ORIGINAL and it's own. Not to mention, when good music ages, it increases it's originality. Truth is, I kinda thought this type of music was goofy, and now I love it. And just to make things clear, I love this song. It makes me want to jump back in a time machine. in year 2025, will we adore '00s music the way we love 80s music today?

[@hiandino]

They were both great but Maria shined a little bit more than her partner. You will see what I'm talking about soon in my video. Unfortunately all the freestyle artist there that day only performed one song only each due to a long rain/lightning delay. Erotic Exotic was up first, then Sequal and last and best Johnny O with his 101 band which I all know and hung out with during and afterwards of the show. Unforgettable experience!
