Paul, you keep surprising me with songs that I never heard before but would have definitely loved at the time of their release! I think I’m gonna have to start a new DjPaulT playlist called “DJPaulT’s Hidden 80s Dancefloor Gems“. My “DJPaulT’s Obscure 80s” playlist goes with me everywhere I go!
I think this Kevorkian remix would have lit any dancefloor on fire at the time! THANK YOU for another excellent dance track!
I hadn’t heard this single before, but it is a favourite now. Cool groove on the instrumental too.
Thanks Paul 🙂
You’re welcome, Marco 🙂
Nice infectious groove! I love the Pointer Sisters so it’s nice to have this compliment their catalog. If Kenny Loggins was the soundtrack king of the 80s, then the Pointer Sisters were the soundtrack queens! So many great soundtrack 12s that you’ve posted in the past. Thank you Paul!!
I agree with you Retro Hound. 🙂
Oooooh, I love that bass line. 🙂 As Raymond pointed out, this song is so good that it works fine as an instrumental version. Great post, Paul. 🙂
Thank you, Song and Dance 🙂
Sagmal Paul bist Du Dj
lol
I’m pumped to hear this one, Paul. I have always loved the Pointer Sisters either together or on their own. This one sounds interesting. Thank you!
Jeff
You’re welcome, Jeff
Another one of those releases where I really love the instrumental version as well. Lost a great talent too early!
I love the instrumental too. 🙂
