Back when musicians had talent. You can also tell how much fun they were having too. It wasn't just to show off or be cool like today. No wonder we all miss these days so much!
@@Gildedbutterfly1976 Yes, Larry first and then Freddie. You should check out their first hit 'Centre City' 1976 do the full album version of it complete with intro.
The singer Freddy used to live on my block in west Philly on may street I knew his wife wanda and his daughter lady I grew up with her that was my first crush in the late 80s yes those were the good days in my Young teenage life the year 1982 yes I was 13 then I miss them days I remember they was singing on Lancaster avenue west Philly yes near the deli wow I hope the family remember me the CHIPPER
Formed by drummer and vocalist "Fat" Larry James (August 2, 1949 - December 5, 1987) The band's biggest hits were "Act Like You Know" (1982) (which later appeared on the soundtrack for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City) and "Zoom", which reached number two in the UK Singles Charts. Be My Lady was taken from the Album Breakin' Out which was released in 1982, the track was also released as a single the same year. James died from a heart attack, at the age of 38, on December 5, 1987 and the band folded. Get Up Funky People - Pay Respect To The Big Fella !!!!!
When I was 34+ and spend my Sundays'eve looking for company, that bass line used to pull me out of my armchair or bar stool and without any style shape or form, caught by the groove I started to "dance like I knew ", and that beat any kind of quality chat to come home with someone...Thanks for that beat Fat Larry,I owe you a lot!
Yes, it is, it happened a lot back then, listen to "Don't Take Away The Music" by Tavares and listen to where much of it seems to come from "Backstabbers" by The O'Jays. "Outstanding" by The Gap Band which came out the same year as this is very similar to this also.
Yeah you wanna know Act just like Act just like you know Whoa you just aughta know Yeah When your feeling down and low and you need a place to go Ohhhhhhhh Just pick up your shoes and go to the hottest place you know Ohhhhhhhh When you can free your mind and have a good time just step right up Hurry Hurry Hurry To the fired line Act like you know This is your way to shine Act like you know Theres only stars in the fired line Act like you know Where the bouts are real Act like you know Start kickin' up your heels Yea You wanna know Well Well Well The fashion here is dressed to kill so if you dare put on your dancing wales Yeaheahhhhh And you find yourself under a spot that'll make you hard to try So if you move in time and your feelin' fine just step right up Hurry Hurry Hurry To the fired line Act like you know This is your way to shine Act like you know Theres only stars in the fired line Act like you know Where the bouts are real Act like you know Start kicking up your heels Yeah You wanna know Well Well Well Act just like you know
This was a great live set! No lip-synching or auto-tune, just exceptional musicianship from the vocals to the production. Fat Larry's Band was definitely a force to be reckoned with back in the day!!!
J'ai envie d'enfiler mon costard , mes weston ,mon pento qui glisse , et direction la discotheque le Pacific , ou l'échappatoire ou encore le chalet du lac , pour l'annee je choisi un grand cru 1986 qui vient avec moi , j'ai le poste pionnier et des gamels de 40 dans le coffre de la 205 GTI , a nostalgie quand tu nous tient .
Honestly, I wouldn't have known about this song if it weren't for gta. Sad to know the members are gone: as that's always the case with music from gta.
In GTA Vice City runnin' from police with this song! Great times.
The best times my g
Nostalgia
Alway got away 2!

This song goes way back for me from the original GTA vice City

When I was 34+ and spend my Sundays'eve looking for company, that bass line used to pull me out of my armchair or bar stool and without any style shape or form, caught by the groove I started to "dance like I knew ", and that beat any kind of quality chat to come home with someone...Thanks for that beat Fat Larry,I owe you a lot!

Simply, the best!

First heard this song at the Warehouse, in Chicago!
The bass is exactly the same that "Help is on the Way" of whatnauts. Amazing.
Denise hines its alright.
Yes, it is, it happened a lot back then, listen to "Don't Take Away The Music" by Tavares and listen to where much of it seems to come from "Backstabbers" by The O'Jays. "Outstanding" by The Gap Band which came out the same year as this is very similar to this also.

Gta hizo muy famosa a esta gran canción. Una pieza que en los 80s fue muy poco conocida
It was well known at the time if you were into this sort of music.
This was a great live set! No lip-synching or auto-tune, just exceptional musicianship from the vocals to the production. Fat Larry's Band was definitely a force to be reckoned with back in the day!!!
Tremendo tema del año que nací 1983!! lo más!!
Love this song in my top 5 faviort's
Perfect !
The beat just keeps going on.
Magic stuff
Good music indeed!!
