Suzy Q - Get On Up and Do It Again

[@TheCarolJiani]

This is Carol Jiani and this is my vocals i recorded this original version that was relased on Atlantic Records that became the hit. I re recorded the song again with Ian Levin i am the original vocalist thank you. "HIT AND RUN LOVER" has remained my signature tune and i am still perfoming both songs at shows.x

[@Mannchild11]

This track was just as big as 'Hit and run lover' to me. I remember clearly how they ran it to death on the airwaves when it was released. Clap, clap. Great work!

[@battlestarvfx]

Carol - Do you have access to an acapella copy of your new version for remix purposes? If so please send me a message.

[@tadeuszszczepanski4240]

Hi Carol -- was this on Prelude?

[@caroljiani8245]

Tadeusz Szczepanski Hello it was released on Atlantic Records .Thank you have a great weekend .

[@timothytitus1891]

This is a real funky track. The voice, the slapping bass, the funk. I can't sit still, I need to dance.

[@GraceBilella]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@XZeldaTheZealotX]

This song is uncontrollably funky!

[@carmelawitkowski2777]

I will never stop loving this music I grew up listening to this and still love it

[@ash27slick74]

Don't ever stop. This music is timeless and gold and perfect when you're at home for long periods of time.. like now.

[@freddiemoore7461]

THIS IS THE KIND OF JAM NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF MOOD YOU ARE IN PUT THIS JAM ON THE BAD MOODS ARE GONE AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT YOU'RE SHAKING YOUR ASS TO THE BEAT

[@xyere4984]

Yep!!! yep!!

[@JeffreyStClair-lp3ln]

this was "the shit back in the day". it really did rock at The Garage. ..

[@thorntonc2405]

+Jeffrey St.Clair ...Yes it did

[@stevenfinamore5184]

This song takes me back to Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn. I recall the WKTU Dance Van being on the concrete boardwalk. It was an unbelievable time. People everywhere dancing and having a good time.

[@MrJeff523]

This song was a hit! I remember this from my days in 29 Palms, CA Communications School!!!

[@GodsStar]

This cut bled over into House Music clubs when I was coming up. Great post!

[@SuperBass1964]

Wow this is a serious blast from the past! That bass is funky as hell!

[@dwayne4576]

How could you not wanna dance hearing this Bassline

[@ceva321]

Fun fact: In 1982, Carol Jiani (Hit & Run Lover) recorded vocals for "Get Up and Do It Again". The song was a hit, but she was contractually unavailable to perform as Suzy Q. "Get on Up and Do it Again" was re-recorded by Mizz lead singer, Michelle Mills.

[@robertbordeaux3436]

Kawolski!Damn honey you fine and smart!! Just saying beauty first,u on point about this cut!! Stay gorgeous love!!!

[@albertnjenga5439]

Carol has a diva voice sings with more soul...the prodction isn't as tight as the official release...then again it could have been a demo?

[@albertnjenga5439]

Agreed..however that's Madonna's in the picture .

[@TheBaski100]

Brings back great memories of summer time cookouts in the park and backyard. We lived it up because we had great music and more time to enjoy each other's company.

[@lloydmorris1492]

This is a CLASSIC! Those very fond memories ROCKING to this JOINT!

[@marcelobenitezabc]

ONE OF THE BEST VINYLS EVER!!!! THIS TRACK+TONIGHT+YOUR LOVE..... AND BEST DISCO TRACK EVER. HARMONY

[@savymicheal]

ooh..that bass line..of the early 80s. Wow,I remember jamming to this at the old block parties! A great one!

[@ChristianZ28]

This version is SO MUCH MORE SOULFUL than the other and was PLAYED to death in ChICAGO

[@jamestolson2526]

Killer bass and guitar work love this day and age when I was learning all styles of playing guitar and from my rock and metal roots I really got into this beautiful funk style and one of my favorite records musically knowning now that everyone was chasing Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards in my mind other than James Brown the Kings of Funky Disco guitar and Bass grooves , fantastic record !

[@VictorReynolds]

This was the shot back in the day! How many times I danced to this cut!

[@Jonashall1]

This song is so dirty...I LOVE IT!

[@shadimuhammad6585]

1 OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITES

[@warrenhigh4909]

This was that song back then when i was coming out of hi-school. Get On Up And Do It Again .

[@007Spadge]

Evelyn Champagne King, Kleer, Zapp & Roger, Ohio Players, Suzy Q, gotta dance to such music.

[@darwinkelly3110]

Yessss!

[@thetrxppiniqqa]

Especially Evelyn

[@MrTeatreeoil]

Empire & hip hop can't dance to this!!! Hope they don't sample this music or beat to this music and lie there ass off a say they wrote the tune

[@thetrxppiniqqa]

[@MrTeatreeoil]

Oh I am real sorry about that

[@brashcracker5860]

Oh my GOD I’m 22 again on Fire Island at The Monster. I am freaking! My dog think I have lost my mind. Crying dancing don’t know what to feel! But I’m happy!

[@johnnash6918]

[@bremarceasingle2332]

Love Garage Paradise. ....that wasn't a club but a experience!!!

[@billie44]

It was the building will be torn down To build condos what else Nyc has been white washed

[@bremarceasingle2332]

+michael morgan That is a shame! A friend of mine and I went to this club several months before it finally closed in 87'. Larry and the place was amazing. .....memories. .....But making money talks and that property and area was prime Real Estate. Not surprise. ......

[@Musicfiend4ever]

Oh my goodness! Paradise Garage. This raunchy track with that slick bassline and funky guitar licks had us crazy.This was the bomb. Get it up, one mo' time.

[@vitorassissantos4302]

Jeez what's the matter on producing this kind of music and getting to the top of the charts nowadays? Can't they stop just listening to it but making it again? To be more precise: Can't they get on up and do it again???

[@vitorassissantos4302]

Vitor Assis Santos Before someone complain, I'm talking about today's musicians, and not the 70's/80's which are still active.

[@hanslesolo]

+Vitor Assis Santos they won't get on up and do it again because they would say it's too expensive(the more musician,the bigger the cost) also they want to promote overtly sexualised music with dumbed down messages. Contemporary r n b has no beauty or compassion to it or great musicianship with downloading not helping

[@curtisburnham4952]

+hanslesolo You can say that again!! :/

[@djpopcorn]

+Daniel Edward Small So true! The same goes for photography, graphic design, painting, singing, you name it.

[@vickispeight6420]

Just now hearing this for the first time and i liiike!!! :-)

[@lindascott4292]

Don't wanna sound too old school, but I heard some song with today's lyrics talkin bout, "pick up the goddam phone"..no beat, no funk..why do they think that's good music to dance to? THIS IS THE BOMB DIGGITY!

[@Ston247]

Holy jeez.... 1981! I had 3 girl-friends, no lie. THIS was my jam!

[@ash27slick74]

Not disco at all. This is urban funk.

[@temujinmixon8118]

Time to bust out my roller skates with the fuzzy jingle bell pom poms in the middle that you could attach to your skate laces, mauve satin shorts with the white trim, matching bowling jacket with my name on it, and matching hat with the white wings on either side of the cap. Let us not forget the rainbow glitter unicorn tee-shirt with mauve trim...LET's DO THIS!!! TIME TO BOOGIE..AW YEAAAH!!!

[@lindascott4292]

I would love to open an old school funk/disco club in 2017 that harkens back to when I was hanging @ the clubhouse in DC & paradise garage in NYC. Damn I miss those days. Are there any clubs in the U.S. bangin these tunes? If anybody knows, please let me know. Thx.

[@TheJazzburger]

I remember this song and Ian Levine at Record Shack with Jeff. 80s.

[@dcflava74]

@beaumonde313 Jiani's version actually came out first in early 1981,a year before Mills aka Suzy Q's version so it means that Mills remade the song.I prefer Jiani's version,more soulful and emotion in the singing.

[@bsmith9506]

Just listened to Mill's version for the first time (was unaware of it), doesn't hold a candle to Jiani's version. Not only is the bass bumpin, but the two guitars syncopated against each other .., one copying the bass line somewhat, and the other playing that funky lick (de-da -De De De De Ding-aDee...) ..KILLAAAA!!!

Where is this version from? I can't find it anywhere. The intro is really good and not present in any other mixes I've come across.

[@ash27slick74]

This is the *not for sale original 12 inch promo version, exclusive to dee jays who were lucky enough to be in a record pool back in the day. The purpose of the long intro was to help the dee jay mix the track smoothly in from the previous record, then slam the crowd with that funky bass.
