Brings me back to the days of the "classic warehouse" parties in Toronto in the late 80's. Truly was the best time of my life. Dancing all night until the sun came up to this new post disco sound. No pills needed, just getting high on the fantastic music. I still at 51 listen to house music daily.
Y wouldn't u... it's what keeps you in tuned with were the best years of your life while relating to trials n tribulations you've also had as a part of your grown n midlife pits n valleys that shaped u to whom you are today...so it will always have that resignation in your life...how do I know... I'll be 47 next month lord willing n all I spoke of I'm a product of it my boy...from Newark NJ!!!🗣️📣✊💪🏼😅😂🤣😭be blessed!!!
One of the greatest house tracks ever made. Everyone else was doing the acid thing then the def mix people and Larry Heard released some sophisticated shit. Outstanding
I dont know the music was more sophisticated or even that morales and knuckles invented that...knuckles is deffo a legend...morales has not developed his sound since the early 90s...
Nostalgia is a fine thing - Everyone lives through theirs and this one belonged to us. 89' crew where you at?.. Played at absolute every dance venue, pub, underground in 89's etc. This was the track that everyone fell in love with when they first heard it. Real house vibe loveliness sung by the most angelic voice that house music gave us, Robert Owens. Absolutely love n tears on the dancefloor when this baby got played.. This was my time, my music, my true love.... forever and ever I thank you for giving me such wonderful memories.. xxx
Well said tambian pal ,, same here that was our time ,and what a time to be young it was , for me it was Sir Henry's ,Cork City Ireland, house music all night long pal 👍
I was too young to party when this song came out when I was 12 yrs old. Now Im 45 yrs old. I remember my DAD used to party at the PEPPERMINT LOUNGE in New Jersey when that song came out 1989...Yesssssss
@@chrisChris6969 Thanks Christian, The UK was absolutely in love with house music. So much great tracks being released and venues to go to dance. A real love story where I will never ever fall out of love with. Pure Magic🎶💕🌟
An absolute beautiful piece of classic soulful House,but what do you think the one word that would end all the pain away????I think it's simply "YES"as in "Yes I'll take you back"
@@justincarr8178 or “sorry” the composition of this song is classic. Bringing the woman in to join in the hook is genius. This has 80’s Chicago House written all over it. I remember driving into Chicago from Michigan and hearing this on the radio at night, I caught that vibe.
So much is happening in my life right ...and today i played this jam and i realized how much i lost myself trying to love someone ungrateful....am letting go n going solo to find me again...what a song❤
The earliest days of Radio Metro 576 when it was still a regional station,sharing the midnigth frequency with the then Radio Zulu now Ukhozi FM...... As a teenager thats when i got exposed to this music.
This track is perfection.Even at the time it was released the 12" became instantly elusive.I paid £35 for the 12 on ffrr over 20 years ago,money well spent.
@@johngellard1187 Not much chance, unless some bedroom mixer bought one. My copy was hammered to death, as it was one of my most played tunes at the time (and even beyond). A truly monster of a tuuune!!!!
Dude! I soo totally have this vinyl! Seriously how monumental to have an original that says “Frankie Knuckles Presents Satoshi Tomiie. I mean could you die. ❤❤❤I’m not a DJ. I am a music aficionado and addicted to vinyl. I received a bunch of albums from my old hairdresser, my best friend received the other half. After he passed I received the rest. Prince always is first, however House Rules. So imagine my surprise.
This is such a beautiful record it still brings tears to my eyes 😢😢 Pure Genius from Frankie Knuckles. Brings back so many memories from my raving days in London. R.I.P BIG GUY ❤❤❤😢😢😢
This track brings back happy and sad memories for me. As a hetrosexual girl, on the cusp of adulthood, i would, together with my friends, and dance in the great gay club, Heaven. I met some beautiful souls who are no longer on this earthly realm. I used to frequent gay nightclubs to dance uninterrupted... what a hedonistic and glorious time was had by all❤🎉
I was a young teenager when I first heard this track at a warehouse party.... would've been 1991 in Toronto, Canada. Paid $5 for entry and got a couple beers. I remember being overwhelmed by the emotion that was unleashed by the crowd when this track dropped. Must've been played at least 4 times that night and every-friggin'-time it dropped.... the dance circles broke out... baby powder on the floors and the slides and moves..... sigh. Best times of my life. Frankie Knuckles..... legend.
A massive thank you to my college roommate Rodney for introducing me to House music back in ‘86. Although at the time it was 100% New York Hip Hop for me. I recall many S. Fla days rushing back to the dorm after class to be first at monopolizing the cassette player. Rodney hated Hip Hop and I simply couldn’t wrap my head around the monotony and noise of what he called Jackin’ House Music he coveted from the shoe boxes of WGCI cassettes he brought from his hometown of Chicago. As I began frequenting S. Fla clubs I’d hear variations of the sounds Rodney played religiously and found myself experiencing aural pleasure from the slower BPM, more melodic composition-like House which I learned was called Garage House back then. Fast forward a few years later after college and I started going to this club called Jospeh’s. Damn… I’m having a moment here reminiscing about the Jospeh’s days as Robert Owens “Was I Here Before” plays in the background. Nevertheless, Joseph’s was considered the Studio 54 of S. Fla during the late 80’s-early 90’s. That’s when I got fully indoctrinated into the diaspora of House Music. Around that time Acid House (D-Mob), Hip House (Tyree Cooper) was the soundtrack to my life. Not to mention the endless Red Zone and Masters At Work mixes that elevated and pushed House Music globally. And I’m so lucky to have experienced the club scene during the birth/emergence of both Hip Hop and House! As an unapologetic music head, but for my roommate Rodney, I would not be here leaving this comment and sharing anecdotes about the music we all love and a song that even in April of 2022 still brings us tears of nostalgia and joy. Love infinitum to the House music community all over the world.
BACK IN THE DAYS THIS WAS THE JAM I GIVE FRANKIE KNUCKLES 200 ⭐S FOR THIS JAM I WANT TO SAY R.I.P. FRANKIE KNUCKLES 🙏🏾 YOU DID YOUR THANG ON THIS CUT AND MORE CLUB HITS THESE YOUNG DJ'S DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS
Pure bliss for the soul & ears. What a smooth download 🎶 house. This soulful energy is one to hold as the Gospel of this classic. Yes, Frankie hit it out of the galactic frequencies 🌌 for those dance lovahz 💃🏽💥🕺🏾
Indeed, bro. This was THE song in the townships all over Mzansi. A timeless classic. Thank you Frankie for the music. We will always think of you. RIP Legend🙏
I wasn’t a House Head back in the 80’s, I was definitely a Hip Hop Head, but this tune right here back in 89 made me appreciate House and I loved this jam right here! I don’t know anyone who heard this back then and didn’t love it.
To this groove, I seemed to float just slightly above the dance floor. Landing when I needed to pound the floor with my soul. It was one of those esoteric and spiritual vibes when you feel connected to everybody on the dance floor. I loved it.
Lest we forget the Legendary Frankie Knuckles who revolutionized & pathed ways for many of us listeners, deejays & producers worldwide 🙏🏼 God must be proud of creating him for us 🎚️📀💃🎊🕺🎵🔊🥳
I remember hearing this at the Twilight Zone in Toronto..the Asoon brother's on the wheels of Steel. Danced until I was completely nackerd fulfilled wet and dirty..going outside to eat Mr. Pongs gut rot preheated rice and 🐔..anyone remember? At 60 Im still Dancing a lot.. arthritis can't stop me from vib'n
Thanks so much for loading. I spun (yes, spinning records, Lol) this all the time when I dj'd in Chicago. I'm stupid and sold all of my vinyl, thinking I converted enough to digital. Sometimes this is the only way I can hear these great tracks, again. For the hater complaining about this being a fake video, this sounds great and you can hear some faint pops here and there, just as you should. Great upload! Drippin' and droppin' and droppin' and drippin'...Cheers!

Beautiful vibrations
Free parties, the DiY Sound System, MDMA and the classic vocal mix of Tears - Over thirty years later and the memories still remain strong.
Forever mate 😀
I'm 52 now, but I still love it until today, and will ever love this beautiful track, greetings from Switzerland 😍😍😍
Anywhere you went here in South Africa, this track was very massive! Still is a master blaster after all these years
