I beg to differ. The was the groudbreaking, pinnacle period also. The 70's gave way to the 80's. Class of 83 High school. i know for a fact cause I was there!
1985. Takes me way back to a warm summer evening around 10pm with light rain. Warm enough that me and my friend took a walk down a quiet street in the rain smoking a joint together when we were like 20 years old which was when this track came out. One of those sleepy Quiet Storm tracks.
I was 20 then too what an era I saw many jazz funk groups in the 80s at Hammersmith odeon and the dominion theatre it’s a shame I didn’t see 52nd street blues and soul was my go to mag 😅
No seriously I feel like older music the artist where some bad MFers u had to sing dance and play a instrument all at the same time and not miss a beat you have to be very talented to manage that.
I totally agree that the eighties were golden but there is a lot of modern/current music that is great but none of it is well known or popular. It's underground and won't be found on the radio or mainstream platforms like spotify. To my ears, nowadays you've got to dig for gold which I reckon is more fun! Of course, all of this depends on personal taste and mine certainly might not be yours, ha ha! 🙂
one of the most rarest group of the 80's era. stands side to side with artist & groups like KASHIF, SOS BAND, LOOSE ENDS,MIDNIGHT STAR, ATLANTIC STARR, KLEER & THE DEELE... Classic song that will stand the test of time! Love it!
I love this song since 1986..Wow!! didnt even know that she passed on... May the angels from the heavens above watch over her forever and ever.. RIP...
Didn't expect to see this comment lol. I was just here jamming to this song and u brought up one of the Bay greats. Put me to the Test is classic and yeah, Keep it on the Real
Dammm, Amazing time in my life, we had real soul, real people, no mobile phones, nightclubs and this amazing music, thank god we didn't have Simon Cowell
It was produced by Philadelphia-based Nick Martinelli, who was producing two other successful UK based acts Loose Ends and Five Star at the time. The biggest hit from the album was "Tell Me (How it Feels)" which, in the winter of 1985, reached No. 8 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. It also reached No. 14 on the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart and No. 54 on the UK Singles Chart.
@@PaymasterA that whole era of music was special it branched off to so many bands and songs. The beginning of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis producing the SOS Band and many more
The sounds of my childhood in the 80s. Either NYC's 98.7 KISS FM or 107.5 WBLS was bopping this or some random dude playing this on his Beat Box while us kids played in the park( swings, monkey bars, kickball, red light green light, etc...) without a care in the world. This song brings back so many memories. Can't stop playing it! 💕💕💕💕
I remember listening to this joint back in 1986 when I was in the MARINES stationed over in Japan. I used to love going to the clubs just to hear this song. Then, I got this cassette and CD. I had me a car over in Japan. I remember driving around the Island listening to this groove. The joint is intoxicating and mesmerizing at the same time. I have this CD ON REPEAT IN MY JEEP. Can’t get enough of this song. Beautiful Melody. I wish it would last 4 ever.
I remember seeing Diane hanging around with a bunch of college pals in a cafeteria at Abraham Moss College Manchester, back in 1982. She was a big curvy and gorgeous looking girl, I didnt know she was a singer until this record came out in 1983 but didnt surprise me, there was something oddly magnetic about her, even just in passing, much more than just good looks. I couldnt believe her breadth of musical experience from 52nd St Jazz-Funk to House, Goldies Drum nBass and Mobys ambient sound in the early 2000s. I caught sight of her 20 years on, just blending in with travellers at London Euston train station ticket office. A now famous entertainer waiting in line, no airs or graces just humble and totally grounded. I recognised those highly regarded qualities and I still didnt even know her to talk to! I was really shocked and saddened when I heard of her death in 2015, just 6 weeks after my sister, a 90s hard core junglist/DnB fan died in her early 40s from bronchial illness. A part of my being died along with those 2 precious souls that autumn. I will always remember Diane as one of the most under the radar, and underrated of all of Manchesters greatest ambassadors. Her spell binding contributions, and spectacular legacy in dance music lives on, RIP Diane Charlemagne 1964-2015.
Absolutely! But like @BolaSonola pointed out, Nick was a beast. But, it was also that time period of the 80’s sweet grooves & that pocket. Listen to Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis’ production of the S.O.S. Band…one could’ve easily thought that Nick flew over from England to Atlanta to produce them back in the early 80’s. All Jimmy & TL.

Not to worry...everybody that heard this when it first "crossed the Atlantic" to arrive in NYC, knows about the UK's contribution to the 80s...completely independent of what TL & JJ were doing :-) Stephen Laurence Harvey (Steve Harvey, Total Contrast, etc.), Quick Organization (Colin Campsie, The Girl Can't Help It).
Old school "perfect vocal harmony" way before auto-tune existed...like so many use these days. Simple lock in hook drum beat, keyboard melody hooks, great in the pocket sax solo/counter part, solid simple lock in bass track. Great lyrics. Stellar mix and production for 1985. What more can a listener want from such a cool timeless classic from 52 Street.
There will never again be a period of music that we experienced such as this. The genius, preparation, vocals, passion, etc. . . Today's music is rushed and comes no where near in its quality or imagination.
This one never fails me whenever I'm DJing a party or event with a older/mature crowd... I'm 43 next month 4/19 and loved this as a kid. Instant party starter... Straight classic 🎤 🔥 🎤 🔥 🎤 🔥

I remember Dianne very well and her sister Paula. We grew up together on Gretney Walk. They were older than myself and my sister. We would sit together in the communal park area. Our mothers would often hang out in our homes. They were both graceful, really pretty, modest, kind and warm. Our neighbourhood was alive with talent. Marcel King of "Sweet sensation" "Sad sweet dreamer" lived next door to us. Our block literally rocked, people didn't watch TV much. We had a garage that was set up with amplifiers and musical equipment ready to rock. The talent of Dianne was next level. Loved her.
Nick Martinelli productions were always on point. From Loose Ends to Five Star to this..and many more he is legendary in UK Soul Music. I could listen to this kind of music all day.
wilb.iAm.Music Amen too that brother us in the uk white and black have always been into there music in a big way....loose ends as far as iam concerned are the best British band along with AWB..respect....
It's with the greatest sorrow and regret that I have to announce that we lost Diane Charlemagne today. She fought long and hard in her quest to beat cancer but the music industry has now lost an innovative singer songwriting star. 52nd Street has now tragically lost 2 iconic lead vocalists including Beverley McDonald. I've been informed that feelings in the industry with Diane's musician and global music business colleagues; from all walks of life and musical genres is one of utter shock, sorrow and sadness. Tony Henry, Tony Bowry, John Dennison and other ex-52nd Street & Cool Down Zone members would like to thank all the kind posts and comments on all web sites regarding Diane as a wonderful singer, songwriter, performer, person and friend. She once said in an interview in the 80s that Billie Holliday was her greatest inspiration. That's going to be some jam session up there with those two... Thank you for the memories Diane Charlemagne........
+Estelle Cecil Thank you for informing us. I must say that her music blessed us with lots of happy memories. As teenagers growing up in Harare my friends and I had 52nd Street - Tell me on rewind! May she rest in peace.
alex belai I just read the other comments but after reading this while this record played made me nearly breakdown so so sorry. .rest in peace.. you will surely return..
This sound is unique, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis popularized using the 808 drum machine with the synth bass but Nick Martinelli made it happen too with that street funk style.
Martinelli produced loose ends too. Remember they sounded like SOS Band. Jimmy and Terry openly disliked them, which was and still out of character for them. This 52nd song was the club sound in the early 80's. Lot of UK artist made their marks. Jus Sayin'
Listening to this now brings so many emotions. But more so now learning of the passing of Diane. Probably the best time of my adult life. Thank you 52nd street for bringing such joy.
@@djdigital3806 That Korg is a mean machine and covers a lot of sounds that many other synths can't stand next to back in the day they where using a Roland Juno & Dx7
La Funk c'est comme un boomerang, tu la balances une fois, ca fait tout le tour de l'univers, puis ca te revient un jour toujours aussi fort en pleine tronche
The 80's had SO many excellent tracks across all genres that you can host a BBQ, house party, festival or anything else and not play the same beat twice. The youngins have NO idea how hard we used to jam!
They don't make music like this anymore but I'm just glad that WE DID!!! SO GRATEFUL for channels like this where we can listen and reminisce on the great times we had and still enjoying as we make new memories!!!💯💜😊 Stay safe and keep jamming family!!!💃🏽💞😉☺️👍🏽
Gave me goose bumps n chilles right now thinking about the 80's and first time hearing this in my brothers Monte! Song will alwways be a jam in my playlist!

I just can't believe that I missed this in the 80's. Oh well I'm definitely making up for lost time now
Right herrr jamming
Can't get enough of music from THE eighties, made love to my girlfriend, with 52nd Street playing....
Still listening in 2023! Reminds me of S.O.S band Midnight Star Mtume and Loose Ends. Same sound. Great group. Great music.
I like all these musical groups
The 80's were the pinnacle of music. No other decade can come close
I'm not leaving it either❤🎉
I beg to differ. The was the groudbreaking, pinnacle period also. The 70's gave way to the 80's. Class of 83 High school. i know for a fact cause I was there!
typo The 70's was the groundbreaking...ect
70s was amazing....1979 the year of disco!
I beg to differ just a bit because the 90s was the bomb
Who's listening to this epic jam here in 2024? Old school all the way baby!!! ❤😎✌️

Now here Diss. This is a Manchester UK tune and this is one of the best soul jams ever created
Not to worry...everybody that heard this when it first "crossed the Atlantic" to arrive in NYC, knows about the UK's contribution to the 80s...completely independent of what TL & JJ were doing :-) Stephen Laurence Harvey (Steve Harvey, Total Contrast, etc.), Quick Organization (Colin Campsie, The Girl Can't Help It).
This is a NY JAM! Brooklyn Bridge at night riding into Manhattan! Most awesome city skyline known to man!
For sure!
🇬🇧
Get da funk outta ere
@@bourgeoisbrats Agreed, but Nick Martinelli nicked the 808 sound from JJ&TL, but the song is original.
Midnight in London 2021 & I am getting down to this track. What a tune - real music!

@WesPhly makes me feel proud that not only did you hear real music but in my home country as well ❤️. What would we do without music & memories 💞
Where were you when this was played in 2021 at midnight? Sounds like a place I’d like to be
This is one of the finest old school tunes. Long, melodic, good vocal and tasty. Thanks.
Everything a growing boy needs.
Old school "perfect vocal harmony" way before auto-tune existed...like so many use these days. Simple lock in hook drum beat, keyboard melody hooks, great in the pocket sax solo/counter part, solid simple lock in bass track. Great lyrics. Stellar mix and production for 1985. What more can a listener want from such a cool timeless classic from 52 Street.
There will never again be a period of music that we experienced such as this. The genius, preparation, vocals, passion, etc. . . Today's music is rushed and comes no where near in its quality or imagination.
so true.
Can listen to this over and over , Dope, fire, off the chain , off the hook , and today it is Lit !!!!!!!
A masterpiece it will never get old..
Truth INDEED
That's a fact! This is real music.
This one never fails me whenever I'm DJing a party or event with a older/mature crowd... I'm 43 next month 4/19 and loved this as a kid. Instant party starter... Straight classic

I remember Dianne very well and her sister Paula. We grew up together on Gretney Walk. They were older than myself and my sister. We would sit together in the communal park area. Our mothers would often hang out in our homes. They were both graceful, really pretty, modest, kind and warm. Our neighbourhood was alive with talent. Marcel King of "Sweet sensation" "Sad sweet dreamer" lived next door to us. Our block literally rocked, people didn't watch TV much. We had a garage that was set up with amplifiers and musical equipment ready to rock. The talent of Dianne was next level. Loved her.
Nick Martinelli produced some of the best jams of the 1980s.
Got this on vinyl such a good tune and sounds even better.
Nick Martinelli productions were always on point. From Loose Ends to Five Star to this..and many more he is legendary in UK Soul Music. I could listen to this kind of music all day.
wilb.iAm.Music me to
Mark Bourne me 3
wilb.iAm.Music Amen too that brother us in the uk white and black have always been into there music in a big way....loose ends as far as iam concerned are the best British band along with AWB..respect....

Luv this Hit.....70's baby...My dad use to DJ. In the basement back In the day...I was a lol girl though, but u neva forget good sounds...
One of the best club tunes of the 80's
What a groove. Nick martinelli you genius.
Just pure quality....watch the dance floor come alive what ever the age...
It's with the greatest sorrow and regret that I have to announce that we lost Diane Charlemagne today. She fought long and hard in her quest to beat cancer but the music industry has now lost an innovative singer songwriting star.
52nd Street has now tragically lost 2 iconic lead vocalists including Beverley McDonald. I've been informed that feelings in the industry with Diane's musician and global music business colleagues; from all walks of life and musical genres is one of utter shock, sorrow and sadness.
Tony Henry, Tony Bowry, John Dennison and other ex-52nd Street & Cool Down Zone members would like to thank all the kind posts and comments on all web sites regarding Diane as a wonderful singer, songwriter, performer, person and friend.
She once said in an interview in the 80s that Billie Holliday was her greatest inspiration.
That's going to be some jam session up there with those two...
Thank you for the memories Diane Charlemagne........
+Estelle Cecil Thank you for informing us. I must say that her music blessed us with lots of happy memories. As teenagers growing up in Harare my friends and I had 52nd Street - Tell me on rewind! May she rest in peace.
Estelle Cecil im so sorry R.I.P.
alex belai I just read the other comments but after reading this while this record played made me nearly breakdown so so sorry. .rest in peace.. you will surely return..
😢 I didn't know that. I'm sorry for the loss of those wonderful singers.
Beautiful voice in overall Soul music
This sound absolutely takes me back to the 80’s , when music wasn’t diluted as it is now
Exactly 80s music. I still love it in 2023.
It’s not what you feel, it’s how you feel; it’s a question of perception. This feels sublime
❤
Takes you back to such good times ❤
Memories from back in the day
This sound is unique, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis popularized using the 808 drum machine with the synth bass but Nick Martinelli made it happen too with that street funk style.
So true!
Martinelli produced loose ends too. Remember they sounded like SOS Band. Jimmy and Terry openly disliked them, which was and still out of character for them.
This 52nd song was the club sound in the early 80's. Lot of UK artist made their marks.
Jus Sayin'
I remember this joint from way back in the day. I haven't heard it in decades. This is a timeless gem.
Grooving to this in 2020❤️💃🏽
I grew up on this music.

Nick Martinelli producer of 52nd St. and loose ends
That is so very, my friend. We have to give Mr. Martinelli his flowers 🌺
That must be why they have a similar sound.
My theme song! My wife still has no idea why I love this track...Guess she doesn't know good music! Miss them 80's!!
One of the best grooves in the 80's absolute classic, stands the test of time.
I would hear this jam on 98.7 Kiss FM in N.Y.C. back in the 80s . Always puts me in a good mood.
Damn son .. Me too .. And u say New York City

All day long.
Another 80s classic hit when the percussion sound was in it's prime.

Listening to this now brings so many emotions. But more so now learning of the passing of Diane. Probably the best time of my adult life. Thank you 52nd street for bringing such joy.
More emotions than memories, tho, if that's possible. But I agree with you. . .sounds and feels like such a lifetime or two ago.
That 808 and bass line are a match made in heaven !
Don't forget about that Roland Synth

STAND ALL THE WAY UPP !!
Damn I haven’t heard this cut in yrs. Reminds me of a great time post high school listening to KSOL 107.7 SF Bay to Oakland stand up !
Still sounds crisp when I bought it 80s. Forever a hit!
I used to BUMP this back in the mid 80s in my very early 20s as well as still to this day at 58 in November of 2024!!💯👊🏾💪🏾🎶😎♥️
Yes indeed, cruising the turnpike. Old military days.
Nick Martinelli had a great sound. 52nd Street and Loose Ends were brilliantly produced by him.
The 80's had SO many excellent tracks across all genres that you can host a BBQ, house party, festival or anything else and not play the same beat twice. The youngins have NO idea how hard we used to jam!
They don't make music like this anymore but I'm just glad that WE DID!!! SO GRATEFUL for channels like this where we can listen and reminisce on the great times we had and still enjoying as we make new memories!!!💯💜😊
Stay safe and keep jamming family!!!💃🏽💞😉☺️👍🏽
IM 31 & I LOVE THIS TYPE OF MUSIC … MAKES YOUR SOUL FEEL GOOD ❤

This is that chill back 80's type of quiet storm vibe.
Gave me goose bumps n chilles right now thinking about the 80's and first time hearing this in my brothers Monte! Song will alwways be a jam in my playlist!
