1983 what a year ! I was young ( 25 ) free and single, driving a Ford Capri 3 litre Ghia which was only 3 years old, digging the Streetsounds albums, was a jazz funk and soul boy, out from Thursday to Sunday with my boys hitting the clubs and all the gorgeous girls, going on Club 18-30 holidays meeting amazing people ! Was the time of my life. Now I'm 58 divorced, a grandfather living with great chick and still loving life, the tunes of my life reflect in this tune, still a soul boy and will always love being a soul boy !!
Such a great track- pure class. Still sounds fantastic today. Expected these guys to go on to have massive success but they disappeared as fast as they came. Was on this weeks edition of 1983 Top of the Pops broadcast on BBC4
I feel you bro, i am 40 married and it also bring back good memories when i was single and free, when i look back sometimes i want to cry, we are not getting any younger but at least we grew up with this lovely music that makes us young again, bless the days that past and the days to come, much love goes out to you
This group will be remembered for this worldwide smash back in 1982, written by lead vocalist Rowland Smith, it also features Mtume on percussion, a Reggie Lucas production
These songs and the memories that follow. Being a kid and the garage parties with aunties and uncles doing the karaoke to sounds like this.😂😂Ahhhh, the good ole simple days. Like if u agree?
one of the many great songs the adults used to play at family bbq's and now I'm 24 and finally an adult myself I still love listening to it!! Love love love this song!!
Serious old jam - cannot find it anywhere in good quality to buy or download. I use to have this on vinyl back in the day in London and damn would I kill it.
The first time i heard this track i just smiled and thought of me back then- such clear atrong voices- This track makes me think of the good old days- in fact i still play this tune and its still huge here in SA
I Remember seeing bottles flying at parties with this song hahaha this song was gangsta all the gangster standing hard and nodding there heads to this haha good old times hehe
Just single. Looking for completion. No dramas. No hangups. Just a pretty smile and an open mind who enjoys to talk. The rest will happen. It's universal
i was only a young wannnabe player back then, it must have been 1984 or 85 , my couson who was a big player back then used to bring soul train videos and top of the pops, i used to watch them and look up to my couson, he was soo cool with a nice afro, this song has stuck to me ever since, the name sunfire was unique, i remeber being happy back then, i used toi miss the 80.s if wasnt for the 80 soul i would have been a terrible dancer now......loooooool and not to mention with a bad pick up line
Got this from the music shop City Sounds in Holborn London, what a great shop and full of street cred in its day for the music, classic album by Sunfire and i love it now as always 2018....luuuuurv it. Stevo.
Vers Nice and beautiful song ! Black power in 80 s ! I heard this now and I’m feeling very very Good and Strong ! À tous les mélomanes de Kanaky j’vous le conseille !
I was 18 (1982), when this song was at the Radio, but also at that time In Germany it was a song for Insiders! I listened to British Radio and only heard black Music! I can't get the song on CD today, what a shame!
Metallic dark plum red with a black vinyl roof, it had champagne gold velour interior and was automatic, what a car ! I even remember the reg SRT 814R.
