    REMINISCING HARD on the nights we danced in the 1990's in New Jersey USA at Club Zanzibar, Bogies, Club 88, Cheetah Club, in New York City at the Paradise Garage, Club Northmore, Bentley's, The Shelter, Studio 54, the Fun House, Club Leviticus, Perps in Harlem and in London UK at The Hippodrome to "The Shelter." Frankie Knuckles, Larry Levan, Dr Bob Lee, Merlin Bob, Timmy Regisford, Little Louie Vega, David Morales and a host of other legendary great house music DJ's get our respect and acknowledgments.

    This is one of THE tunes that need to be locked in a time capsule of the early 90's. So speaks to the era...especially NYC.

    O....M....G! Severe Eargasm!!! I so remember going bananas whenever I heard this song on late night pirate radio in Toronto, on Friday and Saturday nights in the late 80's- early 90's! I had this beautiful song, and others like it, on a much coveted, much loved CD for years, until it was stolen!! :( Blissfully happy times were had then! Ahh, memories! Thanks for the trip, boss!!! :D
