+LayLay Russell I know what you mean. Mic Murphy is one of the few singers that can convey such conviction when he sings without being a balladeer. He knows where to put emphasis.

This was a top 10 in the R&B chart in 1983 and Dont Disturb this Groove No4 in 1987 amongst other hits so I wouldnt say they were underrated in those circles, that was quite an achievement back then as the standard was very high unlike today. Most black artists and music of that genre and era was underrated and still is.

Wouldn’t say they were very underrated, who said they were??? Iconic Dunk group hats stood the test of time, Club classics, Pop classics & tracks in TV & films.
@@elijahstraight402 The System's "You Are in My System" came out in 1983, two years before Ready For The World made their debut album. Also, The System's sound (electro and techno music-influenced pop/soul) sounded nothing like Prince's Minneapolis Sound (which RFTW imitated).
The music industry is so cut throat, and executives decide who they want regardless of the talent of others who deserve more recognition. It's a shame that certain talents like Murphy and Frank's are underrated. They deserved more attention, in my humble opinion.
The first time I heard this song was the Robert Palmer cover. I was in the army and I heard a guy playing it on a "boom box" and said - hey "Robert Palmer" and he said no "The System". We argued about it for a bit as young guys do but he convinced me and I'm so glad he did - this is a classic.
True indeed still listening in 2024. I remember when I use to work in SoHo New York and I would see the lead singer of group often. He was cool as fan. After realizing I worked in the area he would acknowledge me. He was a genuine person.
This is the tightest song that ever existed even over KraftWerk "Numbers" and i'm still a musician it gives me chills to this day! It gave my girlfriends chills too when i "rocked their turkeys".
Frank's layering and orchestration kills it. I learned the importance of note quantification from the drum track on this song. I could not for the life of me at first figure out how he was doing tight ass roll on the hi-hat. Then I pumped it up to 32 notes per and like magic I did it. I did that on a Yamaha DX-11 and I still have the data files from that moment today. I could also talk all day about Mic's clean AF tenor. My god! The man's voice is flawless. I don't think I ever heard him move into falsetto even once in all the music he's sang to. Just pure tenor. Love these guys!
From 4:20 through 4:55 this song kicks into overdrive and becomes contagiously funky. Thanks for the posting! A powerhouse funk song wrapped up in a digital funk odyssey.
This song brings back so many memories. I was a kid born in 1977 but I remembered family members dancing at get togethers back in the day. Music was really music then. 👍
Same it was playing loud I’m the youngest of six form my Father with the Temptations and Stylistics down to house and 90s r and b and conscious hip hop Music is life
I'm surprised that these guys didn't put out more hits. This tune is outstanding. Can't stop listening to it. It takes me back to a wonderful time in my life.
They did produce several albums between 7 to 10. But... to be honest they recycled the same beats over and over on different songs. I think that's what made them 2 hit wonders. They should have reached out more with different beats.
Talk about a blast from the past. I swear on everything, no other generation had better music than the 80s. Everytime I listen to an 80s song, it's an instant flashback of my childhood growing up in the 80s.
They both recently did a call-in interview for this radio show I listen to called "Synthwaves" where they focus on all this underground indie music that all sounds like its from the 80's. Some of it sounds like 80's pop, some sounds like 80's teen movie scores, some sounds 80's sci-fi and horror movie scores, and some of it sounds like 80's funk. They also recently interviewed Jan Hammer, the composer who did the score to Miami Vice.
They also recently released a new LP called 'System Overload'...It's pretty decent, a few songs on there capture thier '80s Synth Soul' sound. Check it out!
Absolutely! Sooo hypnotic, as soon as the synthesizer comes in and starts to hum that slow consistent up down rhythm...you, you're in my system. It's in my system.❤
I'm a 70s baby and I'm so glad my mom GOD rest her beautiful soul listened too nothing but good music and ill always listen too it, because the what they call music today is true garbage.
I remember partying underage in a lot of clubs back in the days and this banger ripping through the speakers.... Minus the crack epidemic and AIDS the 80s was a wonderful time to be young and alive.
WOW! Going way back to the days when life was so simple. You did or you didn't you would or you wouldn't. Your word was your bond,, and it was all that you had!
Pope Platinum that is true but other producers that also utilized technology and equipment like The System were Kashif, George duke and Narada Michael Walden.
This song is so pure, respectful and innocent.

Masterful synth bass.
The System had two big hits in the 1980's "Your in my System" and "Don't Distrub This Groove".
And I loved both of them.
I feel like "This is for you" charted high too. I could be wrong but I heard it a lot as a kid.
@@shuaduah Check Out "I Can Make You Feel Good" and they actually did the theme song for Eddie Murphy's first Coming To America.
Their first single that came out in the summer of 1982 called "It's Passion" was a popular song also.
