Thank you, Paul! I haven’t been around for a while, so I send you my greetings and salutations and hope you have been well!
Não lembro desta música…
Grato!
Love the scene from the flick, and can’t wait to hear this mix. I try not to ask, but if you have any more FRIGHT. NIGHT please please please let me get what I want this time. 😉
Thanks, and feel well.
Another 80s movie dance sequence classic 😎
This song is sadly underrated! Thanks for bringing it to us!
You’re welcome Wox. Have a nice weekend my friend 🙂
Thank you so much. I recently watched this movie and used Shazam to determine what the song was that was playing during this dance scene, and it told me that it was this dance mix, which appears to be not on CD yet.
Give It Up 7″, Killer Dance and Dub mixes are available on Evelyn “Champagne” King / A Long Time Coming (2CD Deluxe Edition) released on Funkytowngrooves in 2014. The label’s releases are always limited editions.
I see that recent release, thanks.
Bet Paul’s rip sounds better than any CD release. THANK YOU PAUL!!!!!
You’re welcome Ally 🙂
Hey Paul, only just caught up with the health posts. Hope you’re not in too much pain, and please take lots of rest. My friend had the same diagnosis a couple of years ago, but once treated was fine again. Wishing you all the best. 🙂 x
Thank you Jermajesty. The pain comes and goes. I am waiting to get surgery scheduled. Have a nice weekend 🙂
Love this song in the movie
Thank you
Patrick
You’re welcome Patrick 🙂
