- From DON'T PLAY US CHEAP! (1973)
Written & Directed by MELVIN VAN PEEBLES
Film version of his Broadway musical. A pair of devil-bats take human form and crash a Harlem house party in an attempt to break it up. But somehow, their attempts to ruin the party fail.
Joshie Jo Armstead gives an awesome performance. She used to be an Ikette & sang on their classic hit "I'm Blue (the gong gong song)"
word up
Gives me chills all up and down my spine EVERY time I listen to this amazing woman sing.
I saw this show on Broadway several times back in 1972. When Joshie Jo Armstead took center stage and belted this song out, she stopped the show each time I saw it!
This song is amazing
Thank you for posting this: Joshie Jo Armstead is my cousin on my late grandfather's side. I remember her singing this song when I was a little girl. She also co-wrote with Ashford and Simpson, and was a pretty good piano player :). She was always so full of life!
Yes Joshua we know you are wicked," Stumbling block stepping stone," wont you join the band" I took my strength from you etc.
Jo Armstead is the shit. Glad to have hung out with her and bring this up. "One Mo Gin" officially used for the first time in this. AND SHE KILLED IT!!!
This is a spectacular song!

love this song Just met Ms. Joshie after all the years beautiful person
one of the Ikette, met her in New York
You just knew she'd be a beautiful soul.
my early days, so beautifully done. The early 1970's !!!
She can sing
Without a doubt, she has some pipes, I'm watching this movie now after hearing her belt this intro song, I had to pause it and find out who this woman was!!
THAT VOICE ! Good backup vocals too
This movie scared the fuck out me when I was a kid and I grew up in the 90s.
Love the cast...and I love JoJo Armstead's voice!
What a great talent! A Queen of Soul!
I love this movie! This song is my favorite!
Me, too!!!!!
I wish this was the full movie!!!
You 'gotta to see it - it will become a favorite. I think there IS a full movie on UTube.
Scarily good, should've been top ten.
My favorite song of the play! I think my 2nd fave was Feast On Me.
Joshie was one of the background singers for Ashford and Simpson.
No she wasn't. The three of them wrote songs together. They were originally Ashford-Simpson-Armstead. And Jo Armstead went on to write and sing many great songs on her own.
She was an ikettes very early in her career.
Damn! I had this on cd but lost it. it was under a different name. Outstanding performance.
man this is the song
That's my cousin!
+Tracy James Nice. Was she an Ikette and was she replaced by Vanetta Fields alongside Robbie Montgomery and Jessie Smith?
+Hello Channel yes!
+Tracy James Great! So she left before the Ikettes began scoring on their own, right? How long did she perform with Robbie and Jessie?
This movie on TV now that's crazy
GO Head!!!!!
Nice song. Just got the album on vinyl. Don't play us cheap.
Great singer. 🎶 I'm moving, moving on🎶 👏🏾😌
one great voice...shows how fake things are today..
I've never seen the play. I found the soundtrack years ago and bought it after hearing the first 2 bars. Ms Armstead is wonderful.
awesome!
love her voice!!!
Reminds me of the get togethers with my relatives in Chicago.
I love this movie
The original Mary j. I know she was an ikette. Thank for her gospel voice and her#b5 octaves she sounded just like me and my aunt Linda we both sung in church
