Some women have such great style. If that singer was stepping out or performing in that head to toe look in 2024 she'd be fresh. Love the sleeve.

@@silverlakegirl9078 28 year old metalhead from Jamaica, Queens here. I wasn’t born in that era, but I see this as the sound of the hood, not all this new rap and hip-hop. I grew up on music like this song and lots of jazz and fusion courtesy of my father being a musician as well, and even though I transitioned into metal, I have an unending soft spot for old school music. It hits so much different than the hip-hop and rap that was present in my area, and I’m glad to say I had good influences musically growing up.

Thank you and God bless your Grandpa. This tune helps us test telecoms and networks (with a few funky tunes) and is important to me for finishing a sub cable project to Long Island a while ago (AC-1 & AC-2 are their names). Taking a train from the Island to Penn Station through Jamaica got me and still does. Keep talking to family and keep safe. Smile and laugh, be strong. Your Grandpa is on your shoulder - as are ours. Best. Tom Browne - genius.

As a kid, I thought the lady singing was Chaka Khan . Young Bernard Wright on keyboard & a young Marcus Miller on bass. No wonder this song was so funky. Chuck M.'s 'Feels So Good', Herb Alpert's 'Rotation' and *this* song from Tom Browne inspired me to take up the trumpet 🎺 and play all through junior high and high school. The perfect morning wake-up song 🎵.
