Spring 1984, and this classic jam was rocking the pirate radio stations and dancefloors of London. Love this tune!

[@strictlynorton]

Iived it with you... the south London soulboy scene was Gold! Shannon is a Queen.

[@djsoultrader7460]

@@strictlynorton nice one! I remember Capital Radio's Best Disco In Town at the Lyceum ballroom used to play this, plus Michael Baker - Don't You Want My Lovin' and Funk Deluxe - This time all from around Spring '84. Great tunes and such great memories 🙂

[@collapsiblechair9112]

[@segawapeterkenyon5209]

Brilliant jam wow the baseline in this lyric still sounds massive 2019

[@djsoultrader7460]

I love the 12" version where the bass synth comes in during the intro. I already had the album, but can still remember the first time I heard the extended version on JFM radio in London back in spring of '84.

[@JonBoltinghouse]

wat if Shannon and Stevie B did a MIX ? OMG it would be the 💣💥

[@keithdixon7905]

Every Black Woman want their hair like Yours Shannon ... love you

[@Timecapsule96]

I didn’t know this was her! I was looking for it for some time now. I’m more used to her freestyle stuff this is definitely leaning more towards funk and I love it

[@Underhills]

This should be mandatory.

[@artisan06]

I was in high school when this track dropped!

[@meganmalteez]

Sweet Shannon. She is gorgeous and sounds beautiful.

[@georgealbright2002]

Best Shannon song ever...too bad no body ever heard of it...

[@johndavis6719]

I know it’s a shame

[@michaelroper4237]

@O.G Autistler Dont worry he's probably too busy listening to barbara Streisand

[@sugarismagic]

This sounds similar to I found loving by fatback band

[@goldenmodem8722]

Bring me back, like a trapper keeper, notebook with a dope hook, go and freak her, next to this eye high speaker, resonate, we reverberate when we converse deeper, without a sense of consequence, we are in the past tense feature, common sense spoken words caress the static noise with, she had many choices, but she chose this boy with, much more to speak of, she's like a sweet ride, clean rolls royce miss, can we take a trip, let's dance a bit, with the light reflect off the juiciness, pulsating from her spandex, like a jammed sandwich, she moves in sync with the moves I can't quit, see the LP skip, still moving, proving that I got that gift, she's lifting me up like aromatic scents, this is my outlet, I put the glade plug in, the smell of good loving, connect, we antenna, cross paths and integrate plans better, I can't let her, go, there's more music and more I need to know, it's the 80's, so we dance like crazy, not like today, these kids are lazy, crazy vibes bounce around the room, and she starts to go wild when I play this tune...

[@irminezzahri5571]

super

[@keithdixon7905]

Litigation Shannon 2020

[@funkmasters]

Easier on the ear than Donna Allen's version, even tho I do listen to hers

[@TheHoopyscoopy]

I hate to say it but this album has a lot of forgettable cheese. Only the title track was good.

[@LibraGoals]

Donna Allen's version is better.
