The project was a collaborative effort between the band's namesake James "D. Train" Williams, who was featured as the lead vocalist and songwriter, and Hubert Eaves III, a keyboardist and producer who performed the instrumentation on the recordings. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Williams himself was a R&B/dance producer as well. He and Eaves met during high school and began performing together. Eaves would spend most of the 1970s as a member of the R&B band Mtume. However, by the 1980s, he and Williams had teamed up again. The group named themselves "D. Train" after a nickname Williams had acquired as a football player in high school.
D. Train released their first single "You're the One For Me" in late 1981. The track became an instant success, hitting #1 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart that year; it has been remixed and re-released successfully several times since, and was contemporaneously covered by Paul Hardcastle with vocalist Kevin Henry in the United Kingdom. The duo's self-titled debut album (which prominently featured the "You're the One For Me" title on the front cover, and the album sometimes became known by this name) followed in early 1982, and several additional singles from this effort were successful on both the R&B and Dance charts, although they were not as popular as the debut hit. Among these tracks were "Keep On," which reached #2 on the Dance chart, and a cover version of the Burt Bacharach/Hal David penned "Walk On By", that owed more to the Isaac Hayes version than to Dionne Warwick's original recording.
In 1983, the band released their follow-up album, Music. The title track became another dance-floor anthem and is the most gospel infused of D-Train's floor fillers.[citation needed] This track nearly equalled the success of the group's debut single. Several other singles from the album were moderately successful.
In 1984, D. Train had their only Billboard Hot 100 entry with "Something's On Your Mind," which climbed to #79 and was later covered by Miles Davis on his album You're Under Arrest. The single also cracked the top five on the R&B chart, becoming the group's biggest hit in that market as well. The accompanying album, also titled Something's On Your Mind, found the band branching out into new musical territory, incorporating elements of reggae and more adult contemporary-oriented R&B into their music.[1] Williams himself played acoustic guitar on a cover of Carole King's "So Far Away".
A Greatest Hits album entitled You're the One for Me- The Very Best of D'Train was issued in several European countries in 1985 [1]. Featured on this compilation was a remixed version of "You're the One for Me," and the tune charted a second time that year. The remixing on this version of the song was done by Paul Hardcastle, who had previously issued a cover version of the song, and by 1985 had become well-known for his own hit "19". Despite this success, the group would disband that same year. - Hudba
Who is listening in 2024?❤
I am❤
Me2❤😊
How can u not dance a lil shoulders sum😅🎉🩷
but me !
Struggling, a young man living on the streets of Chicago--alone. Freezing cold, no winter coat, virtually homeless and hungry but determined to become a writer one day. I went from sleeping on sidewalks and in bus and train stations, to writing speeches for the city's first black mayor in one year, then on to EBONY/Jet and many other national magazines and newspapers. This song is what got me through many long, frigid nights. Thank you so much, sir. "Sky is the limit..."
Amen
No doubt
But you made it!! Amen!!!!!
From "test" to "testimony," that's wassup!!!!!
@@edennard1 I know that's motivational.
Mom & Pops wore this whole album out, you hear me??!! I was probably 11/12. It's message resonates even more 40 years later. Thank you.
😂lmao bet they did!!
My Dad is always bumping this one, timeless ✌🏽

I was in college when this jam came out. Where did the time go? I'm blessed to have lived during an era of uplifting, positive music.
SO TRUE
100%!
indeed
Bring back positive messages in music.
John McCullough , I encourage you to listen to Earth, Wind, & Fire...Songs like “Earth, Wind & Fire”, “Burnin Bush”, “Imagination”, “Freedom of Choice”, “Love Is (The Greatest Glory)”, “That’s the Way of The World”, “Touch the World”, “In the Stone”, “Gratitude”, “Changing Times”, “Shining Star”, “Heritage”,...This group as you may already know has such a vast menagerie of music across so many genre’s that there are plenty of more songs to choose from as far as positive motivation is concerned! They always leaned towards the positive in their music!...
@@malcolmbekoe9279 k
True, "Keep on" giving good messages, this music should be a classic.
Hey "D"..., This yo bro-n-law 😎
What you know about this music 😎
You got good taste.....
@@michaeldwilliams2399 Yo Mike! What's Up? I grew up in a house that LOVED music. We listened to everything. Shouts out to my sister for being a big part of that. I can still feel the jam sessions the neighbor band would have in the basement of 556. She was a beast and could play several instruments. I was always in awe of her talent.
This song has positively influenced my life since 1984. If you have a goal, set it in your mind. Say to yourself, this will be mine. Ain't no half steppin... Keep on pressing, my friends.
You're so right! This song has encouraged me and helped me since the death of my mom who died on 6/14/22 along with prayer. Keep on!
Thanks
Absolutely. What was your goal?
@@debrarogers6529 Wishing you all the best sis.
This song came out in 1986

Back when artists actually told a story and cared about sharing an inspirational message to everyone. And you could dance your ass off to it at the same time!!!
Totally right on man .... This is beautiful music and words xxx
Yes you could!
Well said my brotha 👏 💯 🙏 🙌 🇭🇹🇭🇹💙

This goes out to anyone who doubts themselves about their passion and ambition in life. Probably one of the most motivating tracks heard to date.

Inspirational. Songs these days are empty.
The tears well up in my eyes as I remember the look of optimism on the faces of fellow dancers as we looked into each others eyes to affirm the message in the song...this is what unity feels like.....

D train and I were in HS chorus together in Brklyn! This is a soulful song beyond words! Where u at bro??🤘🏽💜☀️☀️☀️
this song woke me up ,''my youth has returned ''my eldest daughter played this in her car after valentine's day DINNER,''it touched me in away that touched my soul,'' in a positive way ,''i use to play in my car when they were small ,taking them to school she is 54 yrs of age,''i am greatful & thankful for everything I HAVE,' &',now I can continue too help others, which is my passion!!!!!!!!!!!!
When you went to d train's concert, you went to a concert. Because when the concert is over, you'll still be popping your finger and still sing in some of the songs.❤❤❤❤
It's amazing that someone would make a great song to encourage people to "keep on keeping on" and believe in themselves.
Thank you!
In the club, this track used to send me up. Especially the way Ron Hardy edited it. The meaning is so powerful. It motivated me to dance and be free back then, and now it motivates me to trust the Lord and to keep believing.
Amen❤
This song has a very positive message also
Sending this to my daughter who is in college.....NC A&T.....
This the jam, very inspirational
❤
This song played in my head all morning. I had to listen to it multiple times. So inspirational and it’s a “jam”.
❤
Still loving and listening in 2024!
Uplifting, timeless masterpiece!
💚
Its been 40 years since this hit the airways. Seems like yesterday. One off the alltime great inspirational songs ever recorded.1982 to 2022.Its still a hit
2023 I'm trying to hold on
Agreed! This is my best motivational inspirational dance tune! LOVE IT!
When I Google this ARTIST , and saw that these were early 80's songs. I said damn I was 14 and now 54. I was a old soul with the music thing then & now.
@@lajeanadavis8162 DON'T TRY BROTHERMAN, DO IT.
Classic stay forever
I was a Junior in High School when this song was released. It propelled me to go onto college in the fall of 1983. I went to my first dance at the “sweatbox” which was the student union building. This song “reconnected” my life, and it served as an ephiphany
Who elses here because this song gives you inspiration 2021 and beyond here I come 👍🏽🙏🏾🎶🕊
Just T-Down on this track, lyrics to live by 💯

@@dtrain8145 I trust all is well with you.
Yes. This was one of my fathers favorite songs!! #RIPMrTaylor💜💜🙏🏽🙏🏽
Yep! That’s exactly why I’m here. Keep on!
I had a vivid dream of a man singing this to me…I woke up to find a picture of D Train, and it was definitely him. It was surreal. I’m sure God inspired this beautiful song. Always brings back great memories and pops into my head and I can’t get it out, and that’s truly what music is supposed to do ♥️♥️♥️
I love D Train!!! what encouragement, and inspiring, it is written in the Holy Scriptures, "Iron sharpeneth Iron" even that song "You're the one for me" It's aweome! God bless u and urz beloved-
To the 2024 high school and college students who graduated 🎓 ❤. Keep On. The sky is the limit.
Fantastic song! Fantastic voice! I appreciate it now more than when it came out.
I was moved by reading so many of the comments. Ronald Childs is an earth-shaker of an inspirational JOURNEY..wow!!!! Thank God. Helen Reyes wrote, :Back when artists actually told a story and cared about sharing an inspirational message to everyone. So true. Mr D Train, I pray the artist of today follow your on music that builds. Every line of the Lyrics is lifting and feeding my soul. "Search deep inside, and you will see." And then bridge is spanking with grooves and echos. "Sky is the limit" I can relate to so many comments that say this song brings tears and emotions. Thanks Mr D Train..... Lagos Oct 2021
This really is one of the very best of the best. Fell bad for those that don't know it
RIP BUMP CITY!!! This was my grandfather’s anthem. Through the strength of your mind you can be set free! Search deep inside and you will see, time has come at last ‼️
I just lost my daddy last week and this song was the last song he was singing in his room.. and that's what he want me to do....Keep on
I hope that you are reunited with your Dad in the resurrection that the Bible speaks of.
Acts 24:15
Keep.your.fathers.memory.with.you.in.your.heart

I love to roller skate to this song but the message is more important. Everyone please keep on being better than you were yesterday. One Love!
all i hear when this song plays is Frankie Crocker's voice "W-B-L-S!"
Damn, this was a great time for music.
Brooklyn, NY. Jams in the parks and block parties were EVERYWHERE, when the summer hit. And even more towards the end of summer.
Do not forget them old roller rinks like Empire in Prospect Park. Almost every kid who lived in Brooklyn was skating (boucing) to this tune.

I love this song. Never give up. Takes me back to when I was a child growing up in New York. I was about 12 years old when this came out. Definitely a more peaceful time in life. Just a wonderful uplifting song.
THANK YOU D TRAIN!!! Good anthem and memories.
# love it
Use to enjoy this as a teenager in NYC...all these years later I reflect on the profundity of this song! Still motivates me damn near 40 years later.....So I keep on...Ase!
YES ME TOOO! FROM BROOKLYN NYC
THIS SONG HAS GOT ME THROUGH EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON IN MY LIFE. AND STILL I RISE!
LISTEN, I CANT LET NOBODY KEEP ME FROM REACHING TO THE TOP...
AINT NO HALF STEPPING, YOU GOT TO KEEP ON PRESSING!
I was in college when this song came out I now listen to it when I am looking for higher ground in life helps to motivate.
I was a early to mid teen myself then. The area that I'M from in WEST BALTIMORE I was around music all the time on playgrounds& all. Wouldn't trade these songs 4 no other
Its not until you here this as a mature adult, you realise the true meaning of this powerful anthem.......Quality all the way
A
Mike Lloyd
My sentiments exactly. As kids these were just sounds we used to dance to in the Clubs but when you listen back to the Funk of the 70's and 80's you realise that it was laden with instruction's on how to think and progress in life, something bands like Earth Wind and Fire did brilliantly.
These messages are sadly missing in what we term as music is this modern age, the younger generation have been badly served in this new deliberately dumbed down century.
Mike Lloyd Powerful and very clever track.....James 'D Train' Williams was a great singer....the power behind this beat is electric. The track easily defies its age of OVER 30 years....amazing.
***** Brilliant comment from a young 56-year-old.....I bought this when it came out....played it to death.
Hearing this today, made me realize that this song kept me from giving up as a kid.
This song is profoundly inspiring and as I listened and danced to it it remind me This morning that I had received a WORD that spoke to my (ruach) spirit, saying “that HE (Yah) saw you and formed you before your mother’s womb to become what He intended you to become ! And come hell or high waters you’ll be delivered and protected from your situation and established you in His Favor !!✨
Came back to Philadelphia homeless in 2018 after being away in other various states working living. Always remember this song. Now working for The Court Of Common Pleas.
James Williams had an incredible vocal range which made this track really fly. Its lyrics are so inspirational and can lift you even in the toughest of times. Amazing track.
Still does!! He sounds amazing live!
I could not put that song in words in a better way, you expressed my feelings in a manner i cant express, thank you.I have trouble putting feelings into words, wich is a curse since i "suffer" from empathy, yes empathy is a curse these days, since faking it and virtue signal is better than having real empathy, but i must keep on with my beliefs and moral. This help me, and it did since years , so yes it can lift you even in the toughest of times. Amazing track indeed.
The Tri-State Anthem!!! Keep that Hustle & Grind.
Absolutely!! I forgot which DJ on radio would say this!!!! Inspired me to get going....
While I listen to D-Train's "Keep On" I have to reminisce about the year of 1982: This record is telling me via mama's voice "If you have a goal, just set it in your mind! Reach for it; say to yourself 'This Will Be Mine'! K E E P... pressing O N; Just Keep On... Pressing, My Friend! Ain't No Half-Steppin'; You've Got To Keep On Pressin'"!!
I love the way Biggie sampled this. Shoutout to D Train for paving the way with this one.
No matter what road you are traveling down, sometimes you can stop and rest, but never give up because in order to reach your destination, you gotta KEEP ON!!! 💯😎
this is one of the underappreciated classics of the era. truly monster jam.
Tonight is the first time I listened to D Train. In fact, D Train is better than the one I rode between Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Bronx. This song sounds great and has a proper message!
it was his nickname in highshool, because he was fast as a train or something
@@DommageCollateral Thank you for tapping or typing to me. 👌
This song was in my head this morning 🌄..Thank GOD for another day..KEEP ON!!!!!
KEEP ON!
I am only 18 years old but I love this song. This is my new anthem in life!
Miamor Harris this is for people 30 years and older
Why? People always complain that the younger generation listens to shit music, now someone is opening their range of music and you hate on him for it.
music is to be shared, respect the tunes no matter what your age is.

William Teague SOUL
Another CLASSIC NYC production, and original foundation for house music...after hours at the Paradise Garage, then early afternoon a short walk from there to nearby Washington Square in Greenwich Village for Sunday afternoon parties under a cloud of ganja and unreal surround sound from by multiple boxes tuned to the same WBLS, KISS FM & KTU supermixes. Outdoor skating in Central Park to the boxes (to this day search using "central park skaters after party" on the tube) HOO!
+Will D I was just thinking that to myself about this song! With the house music. Miss house especially the old house from late 80's to 90's.
Indeed. The Paradise Garage. A classic venue...just like D Train and this song.
To this very year with so much happening in this world that's so negative, this message will NEVER become old. THE SKY IS THE LIMIT. Don't let no one keep you from reaching the top 🙏👍
This reminds me of Saturday mornings watching soul train at 11:00 am then riding and this song would come on going to 63rd in halsted in Chicago to go shopping boy the 80's
I know exactly what you talkin about and it feels so good just to think about those memories have a blessed day
I'm Chicago born & bred. I was 4yrs old when this song came out in 1982 & my parents & I lived on 1475 W 72nd,one of the neighbors would play this loud as hell & we would have a block party
For real. I was around 10 years old back then with my bowl of cereal in front of the tv watching everyone 2 step. 😄
This song helped me get through my thesis for my masters degree :)
Lmao ! exactly same here. I was listening to it while doing my thesis. That's crazy!
