[@donpee5204]

Listen here all you young folks, this is when music was music. This song was & still is the JAM. Show some respect for those who paved the way for you. As the song says ... Jamaica Funk That's What It Is. Respect .

[@DEVINEJUSTICEALLAH72]

Don Pee FACTS!!

[@LB81RN]

Back when real musicians actually played instruments and loved just making music. Fun, Happy, Uplifting. Wish we could go back!

[@vladimiralvarez1162]

Don Pee Irie !!!

[@siriusfeline]

"Show some respect for those who paved the way for you." - Yes, but based on the overwhelming evidence, the "young folks" have abandoned all musical sensibilities entirely and a lot of that has to do with the break in the musical legacy when lawyers, accountants and no-talent technicians took over the music industry and started promoting dark, horrible trash. That's right, I said it...it needed to be said!

[@StreetHierarchy]

If you're too lazy to seek out good new music then just say that.

[@massimilianolilli693]

chiedevo 🤔ma sono i stessi componenti della band del 1981?

[@russellhill1981]

There is no one in this comment section talking shit on this music. But there is quite a few people talking shit on newer music and the younger generation. Maybe you all lost your manners or never had them to begin with.

[@mattfoley6082]

I'm 60 and most current music is crap. However, there are some amazing younger players I'm a huge fan of: Mono Neon, Ghost Note, Louis Cole, Knower. Their talent is off the charts.

[@EricTurock]

nothing to do with manners. it's an opinion and we're all allowed that, at least for now, so consider that. it's also an assessment and pretty accurate at that.

[@dalehoward8352]

I didn't know that! Thanks for the tidbit🥰

[@leojbramble]

After all these decades, it just earlier today occurred to me for the first time to wonder whether they might be referring to the borough and not the island. LOL. Should'a paid closer attention to the NYC references in the original.

[@althea_313]

Thank you Tom Browne for your great music and aviation! Stay Blessed!! NY!!!

[@mattfoley6082]

Philly's Gerald Veasley on bass!

[@likotan2]

I like people from the original vocal, I also like this vocal. It is regrettable that the volume of the microphone of the vocal is small.

[@Porsche996driver]

Tom’s cool. He’s also got a phd in physics or something, an airline pilot, this was and is the jam! Is that Toni belting that out - so creative on this what a voice.

[@ThePaigeBen]

That’s not Toni. That lady doesn’t look anything like Toni.

[@brujero13]

I want to hug that lady. Loved those vocals since I was a little bratty kid in the 80s.. Just love this jam

[@vladimiralvarez1162]

Skrill Dilly really ? I heard she passed away

[@Jamaicafunk]

Vladimir Alvarez yes. I feature a live performance with her on my channel as a tribute.

One of my fav songs ever. Played it dozens of times over the years, thought I'd heard everything there was to hear. Then somebody on youtube posted the isolated tracks. The piano and Rhodes are SO TASTY when played isolated. Can't find them now, got blocked. Hope they return.
