I don’t know this track. I’m downloading because I believe I’ll enjoy it. Right?
Thanks, Paul.
Thank you very much Paul.
The 7″ remix single was sooooo much better …

Thanks for this one, Paul. Great, underrated track by a great group!. Love this 12″! Happy Thanksgiving!
Great track from the greatest girls band ever!

Nice find. Thank you Paul.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving week off 🙂

You’re welcome 🙂
I LOVE IT!!! I can always count on you DjPaulT for presenting music that has somewhat been lost to time. There is so many dance mixes that go unheard, or maybe, have been forgotten about.

Thank you Jeff this is a really fun song and remix. This will also be my last post this week before going on Thanksgiving vacation but I will be posting about that tomorrow 🙂
I’m excited for you Paul going on Thanksgiving vacation. Please enjoy it as you certainly deserve it.
Hugs,
Jeff
