The singer “Toni Smith” (Thomassina Carrollyn) passed away on January 28, 2020 - Her beautiful and strong voice and her feline sensuality are eternalized in this song
Sad in this era we’re still minimizing females to features. I know you meant it as a compliment but there’s over 5 males to 1 woman 🙃and you’re comparing her looks to other females. Not her talent. The comparing alone is micro mindset that needs elevation. Woman then and now had Brains and beauty.
Rest In Peace Bernard Wright. He was 16 years old playing on this song on keyboard with the Blue jacket and orange sunglasses. Your music was a gift to the world 🌎
You're spot on! I've listened to this song thousands of times since the day it came out, until this very day. There's no school, like old school. For those who didn't live it, you missed out.
@@silverlakegirl9078 28 year old metalhead from Jamaica, Queens here. I wasn’t born in that era, but I see this as the sound of the hood, not all this new rap and hip-hop. I grew up on music like this song and lots of jazz and fusion courtesy of my father being a musician as well, and even though I transitioned into metal, I have an unending soft spot for old school music. It hits so much different than the hip-hop and rap that was present in my area, and I’m glad to say I had good influences musically growing up.
My hometown Jamaica, Queens ! "The Ave", Marguerita Pizza, Hillcrest High, York College... I MISS IT !! Moved to Georgia- but very proud to have grown up in Jamaica Queens
Não seja egoista, pois eu desejo todos os dias , poder ter uma máquina do tempo para apreciar mais o que tivemos de melhor em nossas adolêscencias, juventude, e , 👌👌👌👌👌ouço até hoje com meus sobrinhos e amigos queridos.
Good God Almighty 🫶🏾🤎🙏🏽 You're a Blessing Sir to all of us ! We love our music especially Jamaica Funk Everybody in the Group contributed to the success of this MASTERPIECE 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾It truly makes me feel things I never felt with any other song !
According to my husband, Back when this was cut, 'Nard, Wink and Mike brought the record over to my father-in-law's house -- he was their karate teacher. They played it for them before it hit the radio. Same with Bernard's first album. The record in the original jacket is still there.
Good Evening, I'm turning 77 in a few months and I still have the album, that's form when you had to buy the whole album for one song. IT' still looks new because I have slowed down a little. Thank you for sharing this video, I greatly appreciate it. God bless form Missouri.
When I first heard this song as a kid in high school. I was addicted to the intro. I would play it over and over and Toni's voice and. the bass ...everything. This is the song of my youth. One of the best. My school was located not to far from Jamaica Ave...Went to an all girl Catholic School on 161st and Jamaica Ave. Rest in Peace Toni and Bernard.
Tom Browne was born and raised in JAMAICA QUEENS NEW YORK 🇺🇸 . Through song, Tom pays homage to where he is from. The song has nothing to do with 🇯🇲 . Many know that 🇯🇲, the country, is known for Reggae not FUNK. If you did not know, now you know.
RIP Queen. She was like Chaka Khan, only behind the scenes. With this song and her unique voice, they kept the disco world in suspense until the 90s. Memories❤
(Whenever I listen to this jam), I will forever remember my then 7 yr. old babygurl coming home from elementary school exclaiming, "Mom !!!! ~ they played Funkin' for Jamaica on the playground, and everybody was gettin' down !" We raised her right ~ lol.
Tom Browne, you sure made a BAD monster classic, memorable forever. Toni Smith, may she Sleep In Paradise 🙏🏾 helped make this song WHAM! I never get tired of listening to this song from the first time I heard it forty years ago. The first sound of your trumpet in the beginning makes me lift my head similar to the animals at the beginning of The Lion King 😂😂
Thank you and God bless your Grandpa. This tune helps us test telecoms and networks (with a few funky tunes) and is important to me for finishing a sub cable project to Long Island a while ago (AC-1 & AC-2 are their names). Taking a train from the Island to Penn Station through Jamaica got me and still does. Keep talking to family and keep safe. Smile and laugh, be strong. Your Grandpa is on your shoulder - as are ours. Best. Tom Browne - genius.
@ Andreas Renee…”They are not dead who live in the hearts they leave behind” 🙏🏻…..put this song and crank that volume up and watch grandpa dance again on the porch. 😉
I miss Nard, Toni, Dan and Don Grusin. Still have the vinyl to this. I was an 18 years old up and coming DJ. This was my opening song every time I played. RIP my family.💔
Had, No, Idea, that this is about Queens, Lol... From Upstate, NY. So, when I heard this I thought it was.. Just, that, Jamaica Funk, Lol... Then, when I went to College in NYC Area (LIU) thought Ppl. Descendants of Jamaicans living in Downstate, NY, Did it, Lol... Learn something new...
This jam session is a whole vibe. They knew this song was crackin when it jumped off at 0:54. The drummer’s face the whole time 😂. This is real music when you actually had to play the instruments and be able to sing. Masterpiece.
you do know that people still have to play instruments, and sing today right? computers are instruments. MPCs are too. synths are also instruments. just because it wasnt made in your glory days doesnt make it not music. i love this stuff, and i love the stuff coming out today too. dig beyond the surface pal
Anytime you can play a song after 40 years and it still hits like this, is a true classic. I feel sorry for these younger people their music will not last 40 plus years.
part of my dad's saturday mandatory house cleaning music lol. cleaned our rooms, dusted, straightened, vacuum whole house for company with his mixtapes playing. Never forgot this woman's voice and this groove.
Timeless Funk. This track has everything - horns, ivory, percussion, looowwww bass, great pipes, awesome dance beat and the band just looks like they are having a blast. I never get tired listening to this song. The extended version is good too.
As a kid, I thought the lady singing was Chaka Khan . Young Bernard Wright on keyboard & a young Marcus Miller on bass. No wonder this song was so funky. Chuck M.'s 'Feels So Good', Herb Alpert's 'Rotation' and *this* song from Tom Browne inspired me to take up the trumpet 🎺 and play all through junior high and high school. The perfect morning wake-up song 🎵.
Chaka Khan has in fact said that when she first heard this song she actually thought it was a song she herself had recorded but couldn't remember the recording session when she sang it.
@Herb Enmarch-Williams I looked for the quote you mentioned. I found it *and* this video. You were right. Enjoy. 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾 th-cam.com/video/SwFeFdcrDUI/w-d-xo.html
This song will always be a masterpiece. I was 14 years-old when it seemed to come out from no where and went to the top of the charts. My teen era had the best music. So fun to watch this!
This is a straight up classic Rip to Toni. Her voice made this hit song 🎵. And it's still banging till this day and Time. Whoever doesn't like this song is definitely not human. Soul & Funk at its best. I miss music like this. 👍
Didn't know either, thankh you...RIP Beautyfull Toni Smith, this is a classic tune! And yeh yuh gotta be a numbskull not to like this, love this! Thankh you dear and all involved in this timeless piece of pure talent, beauty, love, joy and all positiveness rolled into this tune ~ Blissings alwayz!
Beautiful 😍 queen daughter of Nile rip one love until we meet again this song always took my soul to highest high I no Allah gone let that wonderful soul blow for me again brother Musa daroo shabazz's
Some women have such great style. If that singer was stepping out or performing in that head to toe look in 2024 she'd be fresh. Love the sleeve.
She passed away 2020 rip Toni smith
Much respect for our women artists!!!!
Big facts
She is fine...❤
@hopevashawn88 thank you for sharing it did not know that...beautiful sista
I feel sorry for anyone who has never heard this song or anyone who can't enjoy this song this is a masterpiece
Agree !
@@briancooper9941 Great song. reminds me of my teenage years.
I remember this song when I was in the army 1980
Tom Browne's Love Approach, Motorhead's Ace of Spades, Santana's Zebop, carried me thru the summer of 81.
100% correct.

It used to have (N.Y.) in the title of the song so people would know. Sometimes it is there, but most of the time it is missing.
Still listening in Kingston, Jamaica though 🇯🇲....❤ Bless Up 🎶
Sometimes the stars are aligned just right to come up with a flawless masterpiece. This song was definitely one of them.
This song is ahead of its time
Amen to that!
Indeed. A timeless classic
Absolutely, brother
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Man Nard Wright hit that key bass line🔥

Those years were the best.
