Tom Browne - Funkin’ for Jamaica | REACTION

[@marciagreen744]

This is a brilliant tune back from 1979, hit in 1980. Brings me back to my youth, carefree and grooving.

This song is TIMELESS! It sounds just as good as it did 42 years ago. If "Funkin' for Jamaica" doesn't make you want to move, then somebody needs to check your pulse. 😊

"Funkin' for Jamaica" was a dance hit for Tom Browne in 1980. It's sound was years ahead of its time. The Jamaica in the title refers to the neighborhood in New York City where Browne grew up rather than the island nation of Jamaica.

Here is a live video of them performing. Tom Browne is the Trumpet player and the singer is Tommasina Angelina "Toni", she recently passed. Tom went on to becoming an airline pilot. He did a mini-documentary went he went to visit the gang many years later, but sadly, many had died and some were hooked on drugs. Toni was in the documentary which you can watch here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5CYmnapZ5WJg8ksi=n6r9URCLfsvb0yoZ

Check out "Thighs High" by Tom Browne, it's a really good and funky dance jam.

Definitely remember this one back in the day! As soon as you heard that trumpet at the beginning you was on the dance floor with your girl. Hands up...oh yeah
