Calloway - I Wanna Be Rich

[@g1gg1dy]

Randomly thought about this song while talking to my wife, who had never heard it before. Had to play it immediately lol.

[@wickster2121]

lol me too!

[@guywgane3]

I still remember dancing to this song at my middle school dance, circa 1992

[@jwalk31]

I swear to God, I haven't even thought of this song in over 30 years. And it came on randomly at a party I was at last weekend. WOW!!!!

I love all of the comments on this song! I’m still listening in 2024. I was just thinking about it so I pulled it up, and I just love how this one song seems to just make people happy. We need that again in this world

[@Htrac]

Are you rich yet?

[@Ogboywrld]

I use to love when I heard it on the radio in the late 80s

[@AldenRDavis]

Me too. I still love it. I hear it in my head every single day.

[@JennyWilliams-yn2ui]

I still ❤thus song even in 2024😂😅

[@steveelliot-bd4gc]

The song isn't literally about being rich with money. It's symbolic -- he's rich with love, peace and happiness. I mean, it's in the lyrics people :}

[@AldenRDavis]

Love this.. used to listen to this on the radio when I was a kid and I still love it. Both the Calloway Brothers should earn a Lifetime Achievement Award for their music.

I was nine years old when this song came out and me and my classmates sang it all the time! XD Loved it!

[@roryhanson3607]

I have heard this song when I was a kid growing up and it's 35 years later back in 89 I was 9 and now I m 42 wonder what the band Calloway is doing now

[@michaelglickman1300]

For those wondering, the musicians are lead and backing vocalist-keyboardist-trombonist-flugelhorn player-vocoder player-drum programmer Vincent Calloway; lead and backing vocalist-flutist-flugelhorn player-drum programmer Reggie Calloway; backing vocalists D'LaVance, Donnell Spencer, Joel Davis, Keith John, Kipper Jones, and Valerie Watson; guitarist Charles Fearing; percussionist Paulinho Da Costa; and keyboardists Chuckii Booker and Jeff Lorber.

[@noybmyob9663]

With that line-up of talent, they could not go wrong. No wonder this is so timeless!

[@FeltonZackery-gm8yl]

Formerly of Midnight Star and the elder brother was the founding member of the band.

Wonderful 1990 one hit wonder.

[@Tornado1994]

1989.

[@westonhuffman7908]

Well, Only if Calloway also made other least well known tunes.

[@jgk381]

Calloway was comprised of two brothers Reggie and Vincent Calloway, who were actually the lead members of the band Midnight Star in the 80s, which had a lot of hits like "Midas Touch" and "Curious". So technically not one-hit wonders, but under the Calloway name, yes I suppose. 1990 is the correct year for this song though.

[@noybmyob9663]

It is always the one hit wonders that really stand out. This song is still in rotation so the two brothers are getting royalties.

If I was rich, I'm still gonna maintain a simple life. Don't need super expensive luxurious crap. It's better to be cheap than showing off, but that's just me. Everybody else can do whatever they want with their money.
