I consider myself to be so fortunate to have spent my 20's in dance clubs on LI and NYC, starting in the 1973. WHAT A TIME!! To this day, my IPOD 1970's dance play list is the longest at over to five hours, and i still add songs. It's songs like this one, the Village People, Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor, the Trammps, Harold Melvin, Archie Bell, et al, listening on W B L S, the Worlds Best Looking Sound - Frankie Crocker (RIP), Ken Webb, JD Holliday (RIP), Vaughan Harper (RIP), Lemarr Renee, et al. Oh, how i wish i could spend another weekend dancing, dancing and dancing.
I'm almost 60 now and can't get over the music I grew up with in the Disco's....... Listen to that orchestra GO ! Absolutely Incredible ! I still know every word and every sound like it was yesterday !
Exactly, outclasses a lot of the dance music of today's era.
Absolutely, I love it ❤️
@@elipuebla2537 Yes I agree 💯
What else would you expect coming from one of the best orchestras of the day. When music was music.
I'm almost 60 too and remember when dance was so real, truly spirited ❤
Still one of the greatest disco songs.
I'm a late disco convert and finding records like this gives me life.
Welcome!🕺🎼🕺🎼
Indeed 👑 As Music Is Life,For Real 🥂💯
@@sandragrant8488 NYC WAS THE ONLY PLACE TOO BE BACK THEN DISCO WAS KING
I wish I could've been there 😭🤌🏾@@salrusso1233
I remember my Dad listening to this album. He introduced me to the best music ever written and produced, Good Times...Thank You Daddy..Missing You.
Amazing album!
Your Dad had an excellent taste in music. my dad was a heavy influence in my musical experiences, more classical as he as an excellent classical guitarist but I understand and sympathize. You were blessed to have him as a dad.
Same, my dad put me on this and now when I'm chilling w friends, I wanna vibe to this and not that garbage they listen to 😂
Pleaseee recommend some stuff
He gifted you this
Listening to the lyrics as an adult to some of these old song is a little heart wrenching. As a kid you just love the beat and you don't understand the lyrics, but then you live a little, get some experience and really these songs are quite painful but in a sweet way.
Indeed. Lessons learned, not all good but this music makes up for or erases the pain. Jean's music always does that to my soul.
They were not only great musicians, but their songs were the product of valuable life lessons. A winning combination!
You are so so right.. 👍
Without emotions in music songs wouldn't be timeless...
So true.
Are we going to talk about those vocals ? This woman can sing !
Listen to her sing Ain't No Way by Aretha. It will blow your mind; right up there with Jennifer Holliday.
i always say it's amazing how after all these years, when you listen again, you remember the flow and measured ability in her tone...truly gifted vocalist....it's church, right?
Yes voice is beautiful
You should hear her doing some Jazz!!!! She was amazing, and a very friendly person to meet as well.
Phenomenal!!!
I remember hearing this song in 1979 while preparing to go out dancing to the village in NYC.Such glorious times.
I remember those times as well. When people could hustle & the music at the clubs was slammin'. Miss those days!
Yo tambien.
I would give anything to have lived one night, NYC, end 70's...
@@Islanddude83 Yes, it was a groove, but then there was 1980, John Lennon's death, and it ended. The "street life" became a form of degeneracy.
@@RichardKoenigsberg thanks for sharing
Extremely underrated! Jean Carne is beyond amazing!!!
She Myth 👌
She is SOOOOOOO Unsung!!! (And a genuinely nice person as well)
And a very nice humble musician at that!!!😻
💯%TRUE👍🏻👊😎
This was one of my pre club songs. Getting pumped up heading out to catch the 10:30pm bus hit the culb by 11 and this song playing once I get there. 19 in 1979 life was good. About to hit 60, and this takes me back each time I hear it.
Peace
Def a pre-club jam 👍🏿
Great tune
Incredible song...... I'm 52 and never stopped listening to this stuff..... I created a monster in my 29 year old son who knows all of this stuff like I do..... What's not to like !
His dad taught him well!
You're passing on Great Taste!
You done a good thing...teaching him what real music is/was!
ToddR4824 It appears the force is strong with this young warrior....
Great parenting 👍🎵💃🏻
OMG! The Bass Line on this is hypnotic!!
I'm from Chicago, and this is a House Classic! Im proud to be a Chicago House Head!
SHY JACKSON Me Too House All Nite Long 🙌🏽
She's housing us..... House music all night long
kym mazelles version remixed by Dave Morales ...a house ledgend DJ
SHY JACKSON Chi-town in da House! Jack your body! Music is the key...
Frankie used to wear us out with JEAN CARNE, GAYLE ADAMS, LOLEATTA HOLLOWAY, TANA GARDNER, FONDA RAE, DONNA SUMMER,
CHERYL LYNN, PHYLLIS HYMAN, ANGELA BOFILL, STEPHANIE MILLS, DIANA, GRACE JONES, CANDI STATON, FIRST CHOICE, VALERIE SIMPSON, NIECY WILLIAMS, GWEN GUTHRIE, and so many other amazing Queens who sang their faces off!!!!!
My mom played this album
My sister and I loved it!!
We would sing with our hair brushes
You know the microphones lol Great times! Real music!
My Mom too; always will hold this song near and dear to my ❤🎤🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶😊
OMG ! YES girl. You couldnt tell me nothin with my brush in the dining room mirror. Jean Carne, "Sending you this Valentine" , Philyss Hyman, Patty LaBelle and "LaBelle" Oh the days.. Hope youre still sangin
I did the same thing, ❤️❤️
56 and still discovering disco I havnt heard, Where was TH-cam 40 years ago!!!
Best song from "Precious" soundtrack.
One if the few Philly soul classics that the extended 12" improves it.
The bass line and violin is sublime...
Sublime indeed
It’s perfect
It's awesome
Sounds like a clarinet and trombone playing in the background, too.
Great song.
but not as sublime as the vocals.
Paradise Gay rahge... RIP larry Levan waaaaaaaaaaaaaay NYC
Such a classic song from a very classy singer
Timeless classic!! 😊
This bassline is from heaven!
Yes!!! 👐🏾
after all these years it's crazy that a person can clearly remember the vocal riffs of the one and only Jean Carne...
Such a well arranged classy Disco track, Classic!
Absolutely
MFSB musicians!!!!!!
It would take a def man to dissagree with us.!!!
ODELL'S, Baltimore, Maryland this is the cut. The string arrangements and lyrics are incredible. Man I miss the 80's, but thank you You Tube for allowing us to regain the pass in true passion!!!
Those arrangements are incredible. Thanks to PIR, The Sound of Philadelphia and of course the Iceman who co-produced this song.
"Wayne Davis " of "Odell's" Baltimore , Md would have the entire dancefloor at Odell's in a frenzy by the time this song reached the break. I will always cherish the memories and the song.
You better say so❣️
The last I heard that song in 1979 I was seventeen years old. I was living in The Bronx New York. I miss those times.
JAMES DELORN HOWLAND JR. i used to live in the Bronx at this time too. Now living in NC but still listening to it in May, 2019!
Ok
I was ten in Manhattan
I use to do the hustle on this song lol
Fact Fact 2019th im From the Bronx this is House Party Music 😀😀😀😀
Gamble and Huff two musical geniuses.Great track here!
They were, but this track was created and produced by Johnny Usry and Jerry Butler!!
KIRK BAILEY No. Hi. Good Bye
still playing it regulary on gigs..top notch Disco classic..love it forever
I moved to Fort Lauderdale in 1979 and this was truly one of my favorite after club hours songs. Just a sexy song for those awesome and sexy one night stands. Boy do I romance those days in my 20's in Fort Lauderdale with great songs like this one from Jean Carn. Glad I made it into my 60's and looking back at the best music ever. Love love ❤
this is a real diva:-)
☺
Who Still Listening To This Beautiful Song 2019th 😊😊❤❤
Me today 11/23/19 & remembering all the good times I had listening to this way back. My BFF who is no longer w/us sang w/her impromptu@ the Village Gate. They tore the place up!
😎😎😎😎
All the time baby all the time.
Still in 2021.Never ending classic.
2024 still listening
Gamble and huff thank you for indulging us with this masterpiece
God what happened to Black music??? This is just absolutely brilliant. Today's stuff just can't compare to the sheer quality and sophistication
Hey bud. You just stumbled upon one of the greatest songs in recorded history. Get up and move for 8 min, and feel this woman's feelings.
IM DANCING & SPINNING @@@
The lyric is the story of my youth in NYC dance scene in the 70s, 80s and 90s......I was blessed
This Record. Not to mention many more, was never played enough for us to enjoy her sweet beautiful voice. I blame it on the record business, they only want No#1 hits, to line their pockets,. This record here needed to be played more on the air waves so that everyone knew how special she was. Jean Carn was Top Class amongst the Best. Duly Noted. F - Record Companies/ Producers/ and Promotional personell, its only a money game.
💯% TRUE just money not Quality bro u knw ur music respect 👊💪😎🎯
No surpise. It's bidness. Too late for finger pointing. Just enjoy the music
real talent right here
1 of the greatest soul classics of all time. Right on Jean Carne. Disco '79.
I am 19 and this women has got soul... This is real music
Woman*
you're a smart 19 year old :)
Is that your Dad in your profile pic...
Aaaaaah man, I could listen to a 10 hour long version of this heavenly track. It's so fkn divine.
Greatest1979 good hustle jam
@@darrelljordan4171 ❤
one of my favorite house song of all time.
Disco still..
Younger than most here. How many were introduced to this because of “Precious?”
THE BOMB!
*_I want to thank my Aunt Rene for introducing this song to me,I love it!I even have it as my ring tone...._*
This is real music
Dedicated this to my cousin, who is no longer with us, this was one of his favorites!! He would play this song to death and would sing the heck out of this in the shower, around the house, you name it....it reminded him of someone.
The incomparable Jean Carne!!!! Top Vocals!!! Top Tune!!! Absolute Classic!!!
The first time I heard this song was a disco club in Jackson Heights, NY. (The Zodiac). Great song indeed... has brought great memories!
I LOVE THE WAY SHE SANG THIS AND THE MUSIC IS ON POINT!
Disco was the shit and still is rocking this is where Hip Hop came from people from the 1970 s great beautiful music 🎵🎶
All time classic ..this is pure platinum. Takes me back. Timeless ! Great sounds in the late 70's
I am a 70's born child !! THIS IS REAL MUSIC WITH MEANING !! LISTEN TO THE WORDS !!!
Not only is this a classic song and is still relevant and danceable today, in my youth this was the song drag queens could lip sync and give dramatic affects while performing, and, drew the kids to the dance floor!!! Yeeeeeees 🥳🤗👌🏾
many years gone by, and the sound is still kicking, classic style ,2024 !
"Closer than Close" was the only song I knew by Jean Carne...discovering her other music has been a treasure. Underrated for sure and this woman can sing!
All her albums are full of gems , she is
musical brilliance z🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼
@@markmeade2937 No lies told👌
Alway thought Jean and Phyllis Hyman sounded alike!
Who’s still wit me in 2021 and beyond ❤️
There should be no thumbs down at all...
thank you Lord for philadelphia international records!!!!!
love from england we joined the love train years ago!!!!!!!!
I've loved this song for the last 30 odd years, and i'll love it for the next 30 if i live that long.
Totally agree...
Lel Dx yep but younger people remember it from precious.
Lel Dx 1:26 gave me oleta adams.
yes this song reminds me of my cousin selina whom was never found but back in the day she would pull out her pregnant joint and dance around
so right
Precious brought me here.
Smirn0ff89 yes monique dancing in the jumpsuit combing that wig love it
jay2luv loooool I have so much fun, that part makes me laugh😂😂😂
Smirn0ff89 me too 😂😂😂 people don't realize certain parts of that movie are purposely funny. Like when precious stole that bucket of chicken and ran😂😂😂😂 okay I'm done lol
Smirn0ff89 Seeing Mo'Nique aka Mary's big ass working it out to this song. Made a terrible character hilarious.
jay2luv hell yes 😂😂😂😂😂
girls guys from this generation listen to these words of wisdom your body is some thing you never take for granted in any shape or form.
Tell it!
No matter what mood I'm in or where I am if I hear this tune I have to dance!
Right!
I was a young young ingenue
Back in the day
My gosh, this is a beautiful track. Reading the lyrics, it sounds so melancholy as a tale of longing and lost love, but in the vocals of Jean, with those sublime Philly backing musicians, it takes on a new life. This fusion of soaring music, soulful vocals and yet, haunting lyrics, has brought a fullness to my heart and stirs something deep inside. Thank you for sharing this lovely lovely tune 🙏❤️
Very nicely written. You could be a music critic or writer.
You are absolutely on target, about such talented
musicians.!!!!! Unfortunately they are a dissapearing breed, compared to nowadays.!!!
I second that. I'm from NYC. This era I lived to the fullest. There are moments of sadness but happiness at the end. My favorite from Jean is Free Love.
Out of sight out of mind forever . Love it
Jean Carne, so versatile. Thank you and God bless. NGO...Never Gets Old...Thanks for the upload, AuntieSoul34. Blessings
Thankyou!! :p

She ad-libbed her ass off on this song!!! "......an exercise of will, a want you needed feel, did you use me , did you use me. ..........."
i love this song
Hey Sniffy! Thanks.. me too!! ;p
Never forgotten in London, UK. Pure and utter quality, from start to finish. X
OMG!!! How I used to play this song to death back in the day as well as Valentine Love her hit duet with Michael Henderson !! i always loved her beautiful voice and had the pleasure of seeing her perform years ago in a Mount Vernon, N.Y. jazz club. She put on a FANTASTIC performance!! A truly classy lady!
Indeed. That was a sweet song they did. If it was JC then I know she made that event more than worth your while.
Nobody is singing like this today!

Goose bumps!
Keithko007 Yes. Hi. Good. Bye
Keithko007 Good. Hi
One of the great songs of the 20th Century. The beginning of the end of disco: fulfillment of the sexual revolution, and the desire for more.
Kind of ambiguous what I said there. Did I mean desire for more sex? Or desire for MORE THAN sex.
I agree..... Great classic....
December 28th, 2014
Well since it has been said that disco was (supposedly) a road to nowhere, I'd say this songs yearning for more, in meaningfulness. Am I close?
I don't think that disco was a road to nowhere. On the contrary, it was a tremendously powerful and liberating form of music--along with the sexual revolution that went with it.
However, like everything else in human existence, at a certain point disco had "shot it's wad" (so to speak), done it's job. So at this particular moment in time, Jean Carne is asking for more--that is, can the momentary thing turn into something that is more than momentary.
Still, the music itself suggests that there was JOY even though it was a momentary thing...the pleasure of it--can that pleasure last, turn into something more...does the pleasure have to end?
Bravo. Well said.
Two thumbs up 👍 and a smile 😊!!
Beautiful! So soulful and I LOOVE the music of the 80s. Brings back innocent times.
Mo'Nique in the "Precious" movie dancing in kitten heels and shaking them thunder thighs, and showing her hairy armpits will forever be how I remember this song 😂😂
Lol 😂
old school music
When I think of the Paradise Garage( mind you I've been just once) this is one of about 15 to 20 songs that comes straight to mind, I don't remember if this was played that night but it has the feel of that room for sure.
It’s one of those songs they would play earlier in night before it got real crowded or early in the morning when the club was about to close 😃🏆
Sad and groovy. Chef d'oeuvre
Has such a melancholy sound to it... 😭 but such a groove!
I USE TO LISTEN TO THIS SONG IN THE VILLAGE @THE CLUB BONNIE AND CLYDES IN THE YEAR OF 1979,MY X-GIRLFIEND SISTER MERTIS LOVED TO HEAR ME SING THIS SONG.
I was a bouncer there on Saturday nights.
robin brownlee I WAS BORN IN 79. We CONNECTED
This song is the definition of the 70s...
my excellent taste of music brought me here
great tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuune, takes me back. Good times ....
this song will transcend generations for its content between man and women, never mind the great singer that sang it
Some kind of voice love it
For all who commented and listened and liked and loved enough to leave our messages Arent we lucky to know this incredible music and savvy enough to remember this great song by A GREAT SINGER JEAN CARNE I loved this 12 inch to death but so few of us lucky enough to remembr the greats. I too wish i had another 30 years to play and listen love and remember
Was that all it was?? Sometimes, that’s all you need
