I was in New York at a nightclub called the GARAGE.....My brother took me out that night and we partied. This song came on and the club went BANANAS...1985....We had a ball!!!...I loved this song since
Same for me ! I arrived in New York 1985 from italy ,,and this is the Song that i used to dance almost everynight in a disco places ,,like" limelight" and OTHER discotecs ! This is really the song that Remind me New York City , beautiful times !
For a while this was the number # 1 cut in the NYC clubs. You couldn't go to ANY dance club in NYC and not hear this cut. Of course, I remember the Mighty Paradise Garage breaking it first, as usual. Shep Pettibone is one of the premier DJs from NY and the seminal House era and I extend my props for this extended remix Keep Bangin!!
Everybody has a story of where they were, who they were with with this song! Have we lost all memories today with what we call music? When is the next renaissance in music going to happen? I cannot turn to Lady Gaga, or Beyonce or any other current so called musician! Come on people, demand more...
1998. Breast cancer at 47. Didn't know until I checked the Wiki bio today. Last I remember, the song spent 8 weeks at number 1 on the Billboard Club Dance charts and was the number 1 club song of 1986. I bought the record back then.
There's a few words that come to mind listening to this - The Palladium in NYC, cocaine, a special lovely Danish lady and essentially decadence and debauchery reigning supreme...
My first time hearing this hit song was my home town Detroit, she got lots of airplay with this song, it was truly a hot song even now it's better than most songs nowadays.
This was the absolute jam back in the day. This song made you feel so good and happy. I am in awe right now. Thanks for the post. Yes I Like You. Where is Phyllis Nelson Now. We need to play this song everyday. Takes me back to the clubs.
I woke up with this track playing loud and hard in my head this morning. No idea what I was dreaming about, but I've had my headphones on all morning and still keep hitting the replay button. Excellent!
"What I feel for you is real" dag, when music was music. No comparison to today's music. Come on lets talk about the Palladium in NYC (dancing inside the house when this came on:), Zanzibar in Newark, Odells in B-more, Numbers in DC, The 5th column in DC, Devil's nest in Bronx, Bonds NYC, The Garage in NYC, Club 88 in E. Orange, Central State University (Maurader room), Classics in DC:) Wow! Not the best dancer in the world but it didn't matter. It moved you!!! Just being there was enough:)
This song was a hit at Greg's Blue Dot Lounge in Hollywood, with Johnny Eckhardt in the DJ booth, back in '84. She also performed this live at Probe, up the street. TOO HOT!, I believe John Ford did her lighting and sound, Great memories.
I first heard in 86 when i was teenager......Next thing I noticed , I was going into the Tunnel , Palladium. ....in NYC.......So glad I was able to experience those days.....cant compare.
Was on FB debating the best hip hop song before 1993. In researching I began thinking of other music I loved back then, and thought of this one!! Found it!! I am embarrassed to say I wasn't sure of the name!!! Just guessed and here I am! ;-) Thanks johnnyleith!
I was on a plane on the tarmac, Charles De Gaul airport summer of 1986 - I was on a flight from Paris to Athens and just as the plane started tearing down the runway, this song came on - I will never forget thinking that this summer cannot get any better - but alas it did, on the island of Santorini.
My friend Ron in NY sent this song to me years ago.. he said he was in a music store, heard it, and thought of me.. I was touched by that sentiment.. I love this song.. it's so full of love and sunshine... Rest in Peace, Ms Nelson... Love to you, Ron, wherever You are.......
i used to spin this back in the 80's as a DJ (which I still am) and loved this song and so much of the fun 80's dance music. The stuff today just isn't quite the same and so many fond memories! Listen, love, and dance your ass off! :))
Heard this song this morning on XM Sirius channel 15 Studio 54 - brought back great memories. Love this song alot - great dance tune for sure? Swing or swing hustle and your wearing a 3 piece suit. By the time the song is over, you're soaked to the bone - insane. Park Avenue - downtown Milw, WI.
This sounded so good on my Yamaha home stereo system, with it's big speakers. I still have my 12 inch record club cut record of this great song. Yep record,played it on the turntable. I can't believe that she passed,just found out. R.I.P. Fabulous voice!
I promoted/ marketed this track back in the day and would like to thank all involved for making it such a hit. Besides Ms. Nelson, Shep Pettibone deserves major props for the creative portion... It was a different turn for popular dance tracks and made a hallmark appearance of the Emulator.
My first memory of hearing this song was at the Club Savage in NYC on a Friday night. I went and bought the 12" single the next day.......Those were the good old days.....Much love to Shep Pettibone, Larry Levan & The Paradise Garage (RIP to both), Tony Humphries, WBLS, 98.7 KISS, WBGO (for Felix Hernandez and the oldies on Saturday mornings) and last, but not least, the Tri-State area (NY/NJ/CT).
Here in Detroit we had the sister station WLBS 107.5. Great memories of this radio station. I still have almost all my vinyl from those days. I can remember dancing to this song. I still have my 12” vinyl single.
What ever happened to the lost 45,s back in the days we use to stay up all night playing and having a great 😃 time will never forget as long as I live still jamming everyday to work
THIS ONE GOES TO ALL MY BELOVED FRIENDS THAT I'VE LOST FROM THAT ERA........I KNOW YOU REMEMBER THIS ONE!!!!!!!!! MISS YOU & LOVE YOU!!!!!!! BLANCA.........
One of the true Dance NYC Florida, Atlanta , Detroit , megabit. In the middle of a second wave pandemic and pandemonium and chaos Spring 2021, This is still a True Jam. RIP Princess.

I like this more than I used to. At the time I was pissed because it was a radical change from Phyllis's "Don't Stop The Train" disco day, but time seems to have been kinder to this record.
Agreed. I wold kill to have that time back. I am secretly working on a time machine. When it is complete i will be glad to transport you back to that time. That is after a brief stop on November 11th, 2003 @ 23:30 Pacific time.
Teary listening to this, the Big Apple, Club Royal Blue, the Broadway-Norfolk,, Virginia, the Piccadilly-Hampton, Virginia...it was definitely a fun time, just trying to keep the memories alive...
may her soul r.i.p this was the shit back in the 1980 omg stuido 54 and the tunnel and Roseland. this is what you call music.she will always be a icons. I'll see you when I get there.love you ways
Também curti e dancei muito ao som deste hit que bombou entre 1985 e 1986. Deixou saudades! Infelizmente esta cantora não está mais entre nós. Regressou ao Mundo Espiritual há muitos anos.
@johnnyleith I was training with Dean Witter in '86 and went to the Palladium during January of '87. Was in the WTC exactly halfway in its glorious life. I remember people dancing up on enormous speakers. Also the Limelight. Matty B. from Baltimore GO RAVENS
We go to Wilmington Delaware Bellefonte Cafe where Donna Reggo is the DJ, she used to play for the Stud in SF and she plays all that great 80s music, all night long!
This, possibly more than any other song from the 1980's, reminds me of all the pretty girls back at school, with their baggy sweaters, painted-on white jeans, and enough hairspray to choke a horse ;) I dedicate this song to you...
I was in New York at a nightclub called the GARAGE.....My brother took me out that night and we partied. This song came on and the club went BANANAS...1985....We had a ball!!!...I loved this song since
Sexy Sultry
So many memories......all of them good!
I was there myself know it well the good old times when decadence and debauchery reigned supreme...
Where was The Garage located?...
Same for me ! I arrived in New York 1985 from italy ,,and this is the Song that i used to dance almost everynight in a disco places ,,like" limelight" and OTHER discotecs ! This is really the song that Remind me New York City , beautiful times !
RIP Phyllis Nelson!
Nothing beats the 80’s. Greatest period of my life. Long live the X Generation !!
I was born in the last year of the 'baby boomers,' 1964, so 21 when this was a hit, don't forget 'us' too! 😂😀
You know it!!!
@@rabbit64sj91Same….being 21 in 1985 was such a blast! 🥳
X Generation as in MDMA 😎
@@DavidLettermans So true ! 😀
OMG, I thought this song was a figment of my imagination! I googled the chorus and BOOM!!! It's a song!!!
Danced to this at The Palladium in New York at Keith Haring's Party of Life in 1986...met my partner and we've been together since then. Good times!
Nothing will ever top the clubs and classic dance music from the 80's.
For a while this was the number # 1 cut in the NYC clubs. You couldn't go to ANY dance club in NYC and not hear this cut. Of course, I remember the Mighty Paradise Garage breaking it first, as usual.

Remember dancing with her on stage years ago. Never knew she passed away. R.I.P.
Oh yes this song takes me to the eighties when music was at it's best.
This was the absolute jam back in the day. This song made you feel so good and happy. I am in awe right now. Thanks for the post. Yes I Like You. Where is Phyllis Nelson Now. We need to play this song everyday. Takes me back to the clubs.
This is pure dance floor music! This song is simply wonderful!
I woke up with this track playing loud and hard in my head this morning. No idea what I was dreaming about, but I've had my headphones on all morning and still keep hitting the replay button. Excellent!
It’s a classic tune! X

WHAT A CLASSIC. WHAT A MASTERPIECE. REST DARLING. YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN.
This is the best cut of this jam. Florentine Gardens in Hollywood and Rock of the 80’s at the Pico Rivera Sports Arena 1985. Thanks.
This is 2020 - And this Disco Classic from 1985 ( Yes, Disco was still around) - still sound incredible. Better than any music now.

I remember going nuts on the dance floor in Boston at a place called Chaps in 1986 to this. Great song
Top 10 in my book from the classic Disco Days. This song took the dance floor by storm and was truly a great dance tune.
Really takes me back, Oliver's in Chester, and Stuffed Olives in Manchester. Great track.

Id totally forgotten how much i loved this song... amazing..it just transported me back to the clubs in the mid 80's...
This song is a part of the soundtrack of my life - even better I recalled. Can you believe at the time this was played even in Finland on radio?
In Miami ,FL all these songs were played on multiple dance stations
demasiada buena esta musica.vivan los recuerdos inmortales para siempre
I like this more than I used to. At the time I was pissed because it was a radical change from Phyllis's "Don't Stop The Train" disco day, but time seems to have been kinder to this record.
OMG. I haven't heard this song in years. I wanna go clubbing now and swing my arms all over the place.
Que gran tema, que vuelvan los 80.
She died in 1988.. bless her. but what a legacy!! this.. move close and my other favourite - 'don't stop the train'
The breaks at 3:12, 3:44, and 4:15 are still FEARCE after all these years. Oh my youth, where hath thou gone?
Yes indeed!
ezgdisco FOR REAL..!!!
Agreed. I wold kill to have that time back. I am secretly working on a time machine. When it is complete i will be glad to transport you back to that time. That is after a brief stop on November 11th, 2003 @ 23:30 Pacific time.
ezgdisco Vest part of the song.
learn to spell, even in your old age.
Huge tune from back in the day. Deserves a good system and plenty of space to dance around in.
TURN THIS UP LOUD, A DISCO CLASSIC, LOVE IT
One of the best songs ever, good times.
I remember dancing to this at Club 1235 in Miami Beach in the 80s. What a great dance song!
I started going out with this song...LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
Teary listening to this, the Big Apple, Club Royal Blue, the Broadway-Norfolk,, Virginia, the Piccadilly-Hampton, Virginia...it was definitely a fun time, just trying to keep the memories alive...
Great to hear this again. Should have been a big hit. RIP
Fanny Craddock is a legend!
This song was huge hit in the Dance Clubs in San Francisco!!
It was a hit. Mainstream radio doesn't deserve great club music from the 80s that only club goers knew about. Facts.
WMBX 102.7 Oak Park Chicago has this in rotation in ‘85 1075 WGCI did also
may her soul r.i.p this was the shit back in the 1980 omg stuido 54 and the tunnel and Roseland. this is what you call music.she will always be a icons. I'll see you when I get there.love you ways
Talk about an adrenaline rush! Hitting the dance floor was a thrill!
Crazy uplifting lyrics, Crazy cristal voice, Crazy original arrangement, Crazy varied composition, Crazy charming smile. We crazy like you RIP
Também curti e dancei muito ao som deste hit que bombou entre 1985 e 1986. Deixou saudades! Infelizmente esta cantora não está mais entre nós. Regressou ao Mundo Espiritual há muitos anos.
This tune, made my life! It’s FABULOUS!! Happy 80’s to those who were there! 😘
i like this song , great memories back in the days .......
Lifting weights to this tune is awesome!
INCREDIBLE FLAVOR AND VIBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@johnnyleith I was training with Dean Witter in '86 and went to the Palladium during January of '87. Was in the WTC exactly halfway in its glorious life. I remember people dancing up on enormous speakers. Also the Limelight.
Matty B. from Baltimore GO RAVENS
i was at the G and Larry mix the hell out of this record, only he can get away in playing it 5 times Ha ha
We go to Wilmington Delaware Bellefonte Cafe where Donna Reggo is the DJ, she used to play for the Stud in SF and she plays all that great 80s music, all night long!
Brings back great memories from the Gay Bars in Baltimore (Hippo) Maryland.
Vivan los 80,s grandes temas para bailar
This track was released in 1985, 30 years ago. Great Hi-NRG songs came out back then.
Very nice song in 80' yrs with very good memory!
Carrera records 1986. RIP Phyllis. x
This, possibly more than any other song from the 1980's, reminds me of all the pretty girls back at school, with their baggy sweaters, painted-on white jeans, and enough hairspray to choke a horse ;) I dedicate this song to you...
Ha, still using all the hairspray! lol
