Fantastic electro/freestyle release. Lisa Fischer's voice just floats over the drums and bass, especially the long held note that leads into the drum break near the end of the vocal. The dub is excellent too, more beats and less vocals for those who prefer their tracks a little bit more vocally sparse. Great FX and pristine production actually make me prefer this to Let The Music Play, but that's no insult to Shannon's anthem, both are utterly essential IMO. As of time of writing, still very reasonably priced, don't sleep! -

As with the Shannon records, not sure why Barbosa & Liggett did not give Robbie Kilgore co-production credit. He played/programmed ALL the instruments after all. -

Aphex Twin samples this 'dub version' intro in his track: 1st 44 at 1:12 minute marker. -

Uses a very similar bassline to the remix of Shannon's "Let the Music Play". -

Oh, my goodness! This song is so good! They just don't make tracks like this anymore...It's such a shame. Extremely danceable, Excellent lyrics. You just can't lose! DJ'S, Must play this! DJ PSYCHO AL -

A record that I keep coming back to - first heard this when it was included on the Electro 2 LP back in the early 80's and still love it to this day. If you're into the original Electro scene - Check this track out. -

The programming on this track is uplifting. When Lisa Fisher screams, "love is happiness.. love is tenderness... love is huggin' and kissin'..." it makes it a little too embarrassingly *precious* to play out, but if you got the guts to do it.. the more power to you and I give you great respect. I, myself, would try a beat juggle over the singing to warble the lyrics here.
If you happen to be playing an italo party this will set your mix on fire. the slow breakyness makes it great for booty dancing-- it is not a true 4/4. The dub side is sparser and is layered with scratch sampling.
