no1 song from my youngester time i was 10 years old it made me so happy hearing this song, was so great i always to smile because of the drummer and was having a crush on the black lady singer !!! One of the best songs i everheard
This takes me back to when I was a youngster when this jam first came out. So what do I think of it? Infectious beats that landed right into my 7-year-old body!!! As I near 48, I will never forget this song that I heard playing every weekend, especially during summer cookouts!!!!!! By the way, this is the absolute best version of the classic jam!!!!!
THIS.....IS SOUL! I could dance to this ALL NIGHT LONG.....The original and this extended version. This is by far the BEST version of the extended versions. I remember when the rep from Arista Records dropped this gem off at our Radio Station. As soon as I heard it, it went right on the airwaves....We pushed it until every Black radio station in the Northeast and in the country was playing it.
A Song made for where I grew up, Jamaica,Queens, NY. it hits a special spot, every time I hear it and you have made it very special here, Simply the Best! I'm loving it!
This hit instantly in the UK clubs, was a top 20 chart hit over here as I recall. Hearing this the first time I wondered 'where's the Reggae, I can't hear it' lol - later found out there is a Jamaica in NY! R.I.P. Bernard Wright, just 16 on this record! Condolences to Roberta Flack and family ♥
I love how this person isolated Toni's voice amd the instruments its not blended so much into the music and I love hearing her nuisances so clearly..LOVE THIS!!!!
And I'm still doing my thing okay not as much take care of your health eat right get exercise my thing is swimming bicycles and jogging😊 God bless keep the faith
I always enjoyed this hit song from 1980. I was still living in north Texas when this was released. It definitely was quite popular there on local radio stations, specifically, in the Dallas area. Houston radio stations played this, also. Significantly, great play, and memories with this deep classic !!!
One of many AMERICAN singles ignored by the US record buying public in 1980 but loved by the UK, another being the Randy Crawford CLASSIC "One Day I'll Fly Away". PROUD and pleased to say we Brits most certainly DID Funk For Jamaica, putting it up at number 10 on the UK singles chart that summer.
RA: Love the little Bio’s that accompany these & this one is full of info. The track itself is what Browne will mostly be remembered for in the UK & still retains appeal today in 2021, especially with this respectful mix. Tasty.
Love ❤️ it 👍🏻 I feel that I have to mention that I’m disappointed in TH-cam for putting the commercials through out the song which kinda kills it, I understand one in the beginning and one on the end but through out the song is totally unnecessary. Exceptional work here, I really dig your remixes. Thanks for sharing these with us.
The final piece of this puzzle was vocalist Toni Smith, whose vibrant vocals resembled Chaka Khan which led to a lot of confusion when record buyers asked for "the new Chaka Khan" tune. To give the song more energy, the group developed a rap and it included the party sounds of many of their neighbors in Jamaica. *Toni Smith (Thomassina Carrollyne Smith) who performs lead vocals on this recording in addition to receiving co-writing credits on this tune as well as Thighs High sadly passed away 28 January 2020. Toni recorded this solo tune around the same time Funkin' For Jamaica was recorded. I Like The Way It Feels - Toni Smith (1983) th-cam.com/video/i1fiwBF3RY8/w-d-xo.html

I really appreciate some of the back stories that you manage to find. Awesome work. Much appreciated. "Loves theme" additional content (by Barry White), opened up my eyes to interesting content and you have done it again with this. I always thought it was a tribute to the island.
THE BASSLINE IN THIS JAM IS EVERYTHING
Yes it’s so BOSS
Tom Browne, band and singer ridiculously underrated. What current singers can touch Toni? Badass
Where is Toni ???
🤔

i guess it's pretty off topic but do anyone know of a good website to watch newly released series online ?
@Malik Chris Flixportal :D
@Weston Josue Thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it!
@Malik Chris glad I could help xD
Yes indeed I feel that 🔥
THIS.....IS SOUL! I could dance to this ALL NIGHT LONG.....The original and this extended version. This is by far the BEST version of the extended versions.

Que de souvenirs inoubliables...

I love this funky sound, too good to be true ...💚💛💔
The best part is the "MOOSESS" !!! God Bless TOM BROWNE!!!

U Always Kill it!!! thank you
Love ❤️ it 👍🏻
I feel that I have to mention that I’m disappointed in TH-cam for putting the commercials through out the song which kinda kills it, I understand one in the beginning and one on the end but through out the song is totally unnecessary.
Exceptional work here, I really dig your remixes. Thanks for sharing these with us.
You can install "Adblock for TH-cam" for your browser to prevent that my friend ;-)
You can use the Brave browser...it cuts all that out.
saliendo a la LUZ una joya musical !!
You made me feel 15 again thanks DJ dc
