BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985
“Let’s Go All the Way” is a song by American group Sly Fox. Released as a single in December 1985 from their debut studio album of the same name, the record entered the Billboard chart on December 28 and went Top 10 in both the U.S. and the UK. Despite receiving considerable commercial and critical success, the group failed to match expectations with their later singles, and are sometimes referred to as a one-hit wonder.
When released, the song was a top 10 hit in the US, peaking at number seven, after reaching number three in the UK Singles Chart earlier in the year. AllMusic notes that “the song’s oddball mix of hip-hop, Latin pop, disco, and new wave, crossed radio formats, from R&B to Top-40 to ‘Rock of the ‘80s’ stations ruled by the Smiths and the Cure.” On the strength of the single’s multiformat success, the band’s album hit the Top 40 in two formats as well, peaking at number 31 on the Top 200 Albums chart and at number 34 on the Top R&B Albums chart.
Released for the Europen market The ‘Multi-Mix’ remix by Les “Mix Doctor” Adams of DMC contains samples of “We Will Rock You” by Queen and “A Fly Girl” by Boogie Boys.
