THE SYSTEM WAS THE JOINT !!! Ok in showing my age but, oh well😅

[@kidwaryodproduction]

The System + 80s Jeff Lorber = Perfect Playlist 😁 (They're actually working together in one time)

[@kidwaryodproduction]

I remember there's also band/collaboration like this in 80s era. "BB and Q Band, Change, Dazz Band, Jeff Lorber" All of them was great 😁

[@Jdub_28]

Was my FAVORITE group in my late teens- 20's.

[@andremclaurin2468]

@@lawrencebenjamin502 What do u mean?

[@tonyab1972]

Believe me, they got their more of their fair share of radio air play with this song and more than their fair share of video & radio air play with "Don't disturb this groove." They were a staple of radio air waves during their time. They're still played often on SiriusXM The Groove

David Frank and Mic Murphy were masters of electro-funk. Incredibly talented duo. This was one of my favourite joints of 1985. And here I am slamming it in September,2022. Love it.

[@carlitosortiz2870]

Hey man I been searching for an instrumental jamm that came out in 85' too, it starts off with a horn almost like "just begun", it was hot at the same time this jamm was hot....have any idea?🙏

[@LittleMissSunshine721]

The lead singer is so handsome. Definitely has that 80’s flair to him. This song is something to be played at sunset in a red corvette.

[@memphotan]

I can't tell you how much I loved this song while stationed as a Navy sailor in Florida in the 80's. Each time I hear this song it takes me back to that time. God...If I could just hit rewind! Cheers!

The system was no joke...Got turned on to them in 1984 stationed in Abilene Texas.....then the Philippines....but upon my return to the USA " Don't disturb this groove " was blowing up... 87

[@anthonymcadams2210]

The System. One of the best to ever do it. Great music, good memories.

[@thomaswilliams1333]

Out of all of the hit and miss hacks of the '80s, this duo stood head and shoulders above many of them. From musical arrangement and just plain overall musicianship to vocals and how TIGHT the band played enhanced by Mic's emotional vocal stylings, they were SEVERELY underrated and dismissed. So happy to have FINALLY found this tune and added it proudly to my collection. Semper Fi guys...wherever you are. You are missed by so many!

[@anndenyer7021]

Well said

[@b.i.s.o.n.bristolscreenwri305]

[@andrewwallace1338]

Absolute magic

[@stevechabalik6985]

If all Mic Murphy and David Frank ever did with their lives was create this one song, that would be more than enough. One of the greatest records EVER, IMO. (BTW, they did much, much more than this song: "Promises Can Break", "It's Passion", "You Are In My System", "This Is My Night" for Chaka...)

[@Timecapsule96]

I'll always have my dad to thank for knowing The System I remember hearing Passion when I was barely in Kindergarten, I was a very observant kid aware of my environment and all the different sounds and synths incorporated in their music as well as a large chunk of the 80's, it was always mesmerizing to me, a pleasure for the ears.

[@TheElissdeja]

I found this in a charity shop! I played it over and over. I still love it.

[@buddyluv8951]

Goosebumps all over the place

[@marycharles4010]

[@strictlynorton]

God tier synth programming from Dave Frank. The System were such an important band in the evolution of electro and boogie into house.

[@romulus_]

these guys and jam/lewis were monsters on synth bass. and the complex drum programming is still mind blowing.

[@kennethbryant7480]

I love the System! I bought this album on vinyl back in 1985 and been hooked ever since. Music couldn't be finer and funky that that. They were really one of a kind as a R&B group. Should had been much, much bigger.

[@carlitosortiz2870]

They weren't bigger because there was more then enough talent to go around back in the 80's

[@greglismonjr1368]

I tell my parents all the time how I am jealous that they got a chance to live through some of the best moments of music in the 70’s and 80’s
