Same man. I'm 17 and I can't get enough of these 80s/90s house songs. Makes me wanna party in a club in that era, but sadly- I was born way after. At least I can enjoy this shit nowadays, thanks TH-cam.
+David Smith First heard this when I moved to Philadelphia in the late 80s and I could not get enough. I begged the Dj to play it every night I went. Good memories
Imagine hearing this drop in the club on a good night out. No wonder historians call '88 the second summer of love. Of course it was tough living under Reagan and Thatcher, but at least there was music that made you remember that life isn't all that bad.
I've been at it for 26 years, and Inner City live in DETROIT for Movement/DEMF 2010, Good Life, is still the best moment ever out of thousands of best moments!!!
I'm an 80s chick, and 90s house music was totally awesome in NYC. Does anyone remember Kung Fu in the 80's every Saturday afternoon. It was Soul Train, then Kung Fu. Good times that will never be repeated.
I remember! Me and my pops used to watch on channel 5 at 3pm every Saturday! When we saw that Shaw Brothers logo, we knew it was gonna be some good ish!

One of the greatest club/house signs ever recorded.
Oh yeah I remember this song in the Hampton the club was the Neptune's Beach Club Long Island. I asked Cheryl Tiegs for those who don't know she was a Covergirl model went up to her and asked politely would you like to dance we hit the floor dance to the tune and when our separate ways. But this song will live on. In the famous words of Eddie money I want to go back and do it all over.
i was 9 when i heard this on the radio changed my life forever i learned what house music was ,it was running through my body never knew anything like it before now im 41 and still love this
"No more rainy days the sun will chase the clouds away in the good life." ... and more from the lyrics - not to expect too much, what we need to be gladful.
Yasss...freshly moved to San Francisco in '93, just beginning to explore club life, and hearing this JAM at a queer club and thinking, "YEAH. THIS IS WHAT A GOOD LIFE FEELS LIKE." Happy nostalgia...
@@sylvialupehernandez9154 In fact, GOOD LIFE was released in 1988 shortly after BIG FUN. The album (PARADISE, in the UK, and BIG FUN, in the USA) was released in 1989.
This mix of Goodlife was the very first House track I ever heard. I was 14 and I was immediately in love with House. It's my all time favorite track and this mix especially... A friend had mixed it back and forth with this other great piano house tune...
I remember buying the album paradise on cassette, as lad of 16 years old way back in 1989. How times change. Still feel like a teen deep down! This Album seriously needs a remaster and expanded version!
This jam throws me back to the 80's, me and my fine ass girl friend (now my gorgeous wife) cruzing down Lake Shore Drive on my white convertible Buick Riv playing The Good Life!!!
What a great time to be alive......... So glad I lived it 😀🎶💊 filled my boots 😁 hope the kids of today are having as good of a time as we did in the good life ........special times ........💃🕺 party people 🎶
There's something so upliftingly otherworldly about this. It takes my soul to another plane. I miss the days where I was transported by superb music to a feel good place.
I had 22 years in 1989 and now I have 53 , still near 54 years in a few months and I arrived to this age, for me its a miracle have arrived to 53, having survived to the plagues from.our time, Aíds, drugs,never I used drugs, never liked me and maybe by this I,m.here and cause god allow it
Simply can’t never resist to this. Everytime same story. I’m here on the couch with my hands up and my head is moving without control. Pure magic this is
Always thought it was neat how the old Sega games sampled and were inspired from this great era of House, Pop and other Electronic music. I immediately got Streets of Rage 2 vibes listening to this.
The perfect house record. This remix is my favourite. It will never grow old, always be a reference, always draw a tear to my eyes when I drop it. This is house in its purest form. Thank you Kevin Saunderson: you're a visionary.
"it's still better than half the stuff on the radio in 2020." Half? More like the vast majority, general music is trash nowadays ESPECIALLY compared to this golden sound.
OMFG!!! I've been listening to music like this for decades. Very familiar with Good Life, but not this version until now. All I gotta say is I had to change my drawers after listening!! God-DAMN!!
A tune for the hips. Happy, Happy House, a mick mills and away you go. Great times, friendly times. crazy times, rave on. Im 50 this year. I will always be that wee lad with his hands in the air and a grin on his face.
I first heard this version of this tune on Centreforce 883 a few years ago, I had to know what version of 'Good Life' this was. This is the best version!!
Wow this song brings back good memories. We were a group of four friends dancers we used to dance to this song at the clubs pongola (kzn). All ma friends are gone now. May their soul rest in peace.
I was born in the 90's, but I totally wish I could've been born in the late 70's so I could experience the NY house scene and 90's golden era hip hop, love it
🤩🥰😍We had Great times. Friday and Saturday Nights LIVE! Even through the social woes of drugs and gun violence in that crack era. This music took you away, if not for kust a little while. BUT WE'D BE TIRED AS HELL by the time the music ended on a extended super mix...1500 hours of non-stop dancing 'cause you can out dance anyone....lol
What fanstaric tune.......yep i was there when this brilliant Inner City track came into the charts i brought the 7in and the 12in such an uplifting tune and i will always LOVE IT NUFF SAID
the best.. happy, dance, house song. I might have not been around in the 90's. but I LOVE Inner City... damn what a feeling.... one in a thousand... what more can I say... epic, special, unique.... G00D LIFE
What a beautiful era life is brutal now
Life is what you make of it ... but I get you...
Totally agree. I need this music and good energy right about now.

Best remix of Good Life I’ve ever heard. Beautifully done.
Henry Jue 17 minute version on here is also a masterpiece of this epic tune
This version is hauntingly beautiful.

Those parties are out there! All it takes is the collective will of enough people who have a love for music and human connection, and bam, it's there.
If you live in the UK Field Maneuvers does that
Detroit has some excellent clubs playing more modern techno, but have that old warehouse vibe to them. Great atmosphere.

I completely agree.
I wouldn’t call the music industry today an evaluation….🧐
