The Quick - Zulu HD

[@avflashback8913]

THAT'S a Bassline. Respect.

[@Taino871]

Those drums and Bass HIT SO HARD.

[@bigguys45s29]

A No. 1 US dance smash hit in 1981.

[@ajs41]

It's interesting how many early 80s dance number ones have been slightly forgotten. Another example is Angel Man by Rhetta Hughes from 1983. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqvEe62Ymryig5o

[@UBZUKki]

Love this....Taking me back to the jazz funk days

[@waynekerr114]

Top draw remember it well driving around north London in 1981 still do now :)

[@ajs41]

This must have sounded very futuristic in 1981. Still sounds excellent today in 2024.

[@DrNoahBoddy004]

.... The Quick will always be stellar, and galactically fabulous! Musicianship on a very grand scale. One of the fiercest dance recordings ever, EVER crafted!

[@ajs41]

Young Men Drive Fast is my favourite song by them. It's very similar in style to Don't Look Down by Go West.

[@johnthompson9724]

Lovely version I have this -so the diffence is its the US version very nice - I recordded from Tony De Vit-any one know what year it was I have it on a TDK tape

[@nickfreshalive]

so shocked that there's a video for this. thank you for sharing! I love this song so much.

[@ajs41]

There's another video on KZbin which has been there for a long time with better picture but the sound is not as good. The curse of KZbin as I describe it. I've done a few videos myself where I've taken the best sound and picture from different videos and put them together.

Excelente fidelidad en audio. 👏

[@joeyhunt7820]

Bassist rocking the music big time. Bad ace

George McFarlane.

Always loved this track from back in the day. About 12 years ago I acquired the album One Light in a Blackout. If you like this song you'd probably like the rest of the album.

[@ajs41]

Is that the album known as Fascinating Rhythm in the UK.

[@Anythingoes88]

ALL of their stuff is good (including when they were in Grand Hotel). There are at least six different versions of this track, the longest being the American 12" on the Pavilion label.

[@ajs41]

Well-deserved American Dance number one in November 1981, but sad it's been slightly forgotten about since then.

[@Anythingoes88]

@@ajs41 It does appear on CD compilations from time to time e.g. John Luongo 12" mixes etc.

[@rockdrigo6987]

Quien en esta cuarentena escuchando este temazo ❤️❤️

[@galanaso003]

Yooooooooo

[@misterjohnfortal]

This song and the whole album are wonderful, unfortunately it never came out on CDs and few people remember and want to get to know.

[@ajs41]

It shouldn't be forgotten because it was a US number one on the dance chart in October 1981.

[@SteveAttwood]

Try this!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oprFlYqKhZ2GnNE

[@CarynDPrescott]

I haven't heard this song in forever! 💃🏿💃🏿

[@lloydbrady9906]

They also had a hit with rhythm of the jungle.. Takes you high

[@ajs41]

Hip Shake Jerk was also a big hit in Australia. Nothing here in England though, despite them being English.

[@NER1922]

super Great Track!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@JohnSmith-qj6bj]

I never knew they were white,not that it matters,this was one of the best dance songs of that time. One of my favs.

[@marialissa11]

Definitely one of the best 1981. I was still roller skating that year! Come 82 hitting clubs in NYC

[@ajs41]

They sound white to me, but then I'm English as well like they are.

SUPER TRACK , MAS DE ESTOS PLEASE

[@thomasturner3634]

My friends and i use to go "STARSHIP DISCOVERY 1" on 41st in Manhattan(we were from Rahway nj),and 💃 dance until the sun came up. It was Saturday night so i had to be in church in Newark new jersey, were my 👩 mother was the "PREACHER". OOO The days.

[@ajs41]

This was an American dance number one in October 1981. I'm English but I just found out it was very successful at the time in the US.

[@artbyvince]

Awesome song, sadly way overlooked.

[@ajs41]

Nice that it reached number one on the American dance charts in late 1981, but disappointing it didn't make an impact in the UK.

[@danielazambuja9085]

I Love it. Thank you !!

[@rb7007]

Kajagoogoo vibes. Never heard this song before, but it’s pretty good!

[@briansheeran6744]

Especially that intro

[@ajs41]

I'd recommend listening to their other songs, particularly Young Men Drive Fast, One Light In A Blackout, Rhythm Of The Jungle, and Hip Shake Jerk which is a bit of a joke song but still good IMO.

[@BETO-kt1tw]

AMO !!!

[@johnthompson9724]

Any one know what year it came out (This version )

[@ajs41]

1981. An American dance number one in November that year.

[@joshuastavos4376]

@@ajs41Excellent music!!! I remember!

[@lloydbrady9906]

voted top dance track on luxembourg a different approach when the funk was changing over to yuppie style vibes ..a different approach

[@righteousdivine7]

I never thought white boys could be so funky.

[@joshuastavos4376]

Neither did I!!!!

[@KmT81]

First time I listen to this Tune,didn't know the Singers were Whites.

[@yapdog]

Blowing my mind these dudes are white. Not what I pictured at all backinnaday.

[@ajs41]

They sound white to me because I can hear their English accent and I'm English myself.

[@yapdog]

@@ajs41 The English accent is spoken by non-white people, too, I'm sure you're aware.

[@robertoc.suarez1973]

Que pedazo de bajista!!!

[@DrNoahBoddy004]

......it's always interesting observing the uninspired, and the bigoted, devolve down to the molecular level. (with no communal sense of grace, or sophistication, their collective sadness reveals just why the world is the way it is).

[@phoenixflier25]

They were white?! 😂😂😂

[@phoenixflier25]

You’d be surprised on how many songs we hear thinking they were sung by blacks😂 Yes, I thought they were black too😂

[@joshuastavos4376]

The Quick is WHITE????????????

[@ajs41]

Two British guys. Went on to become big producers.

[@SuperBoomshack]

The bass is disgusting
