Mic spoke on it in an interview I read somewhere. He said they have no sad ending or tragedies, drug abuse, loss of everything financially, and/or scandals in their story, so he said he thinks that's why the networks aren't interested in it.
or Maybe it was David who said that, I can't remember, but one of them said that and I can understand that. All the unsungs need something bad or tragic in the story arc to air.
These guys are still ahead of their time. Incredible. I am so glad that OG cats like this are still here, the DNA of your sound is still heard in today's music. The keyboard man is insane, he is playing those damn parts, not just silly loops over and over like today's music. Just absolutely fantastic. DAVID FRANK is totally underated.
The System, has always been a under rated dynamic duo group Mic Murphy and David Frank. I remember the first time I heard "Your'e in my system". It blew me away, had all the electronic drums and keyboards. This was in 1983 so these guys were way ahead of their time. The biggest hit was a course "Don't disturb this groove" but they've had many great songs that many may have never heard. Like "Have Mercy" "I'm about you" "Soul II Soul". They also did ESP a few years ago with great songs like "Say a prayer" and "Heaven in your eyes". Much respect to the System, yall music has been apart of my life since 1983.
Totally agree. It’s impossible to convey how modern You Are In My System sounded when I first played my 7” inch import in London probably very late Feb 83.It sounded like nothing else before. A truly innovative recording. The guys do justice to it on this video. Just superb.
To watch Mic and Paul's faces during "You're In My System" you know they're in Da Groove ... brings a Grin to My Face. ..... And then Breakdown at the End... BadAss
Within a few months, the anniversary of this performance is approaching. It felt great meeting them at that night. I even had to write about it on Medium. That's how much I enjoyed myself that night. The System: Ahead of their time, Ahead of the game. I still got my sketchbook that the group sign in. Can't believe it's been almost 4 years. Much Love!
I had a sip of wine and it was Fine! That was the first time! Its 40 years later and you all are as good as the first sip! Timeless and beautiful! Thank you!!
Happen to stumble on this video. Mic still got that smooth voice and David is brother from another mother when it comes soul, R&B, pop to funk on those 🎹
Hey Frank, Mic & Paul!! - Awesome new songs with the special 'System feeling' and - of course - some 'golden oldies'! - The best R&B-Electro-Band on this planet!
So glad you did because I have been hookrd on them since seeing this video. I HAVE TO listen to "Lollipops and Everything" at least 4 times a day; that is my jam at the moment. They have so much music I didn't even know about .... LOVE TH-cam AND YOU for this! Gotta try and follow them on Facebook. Stay blessed!!
lepoetress Oh yes... lollipops and everything is a timeless classic that gets better with every listen. Did you check out my album mix? th-cam.com/video/0dFYJKVxgEM/w-d-xo.html
LOL! 88.5(Shelby County Schools) plays You Are In My System every other day. These young ones need to know their parents and teachers of the 80s had taste in music
I can't believe I found this. saw them in concert in Jax. Florida. Mic was dancing in a chair right in front of my girlfriend and i. he danced with us sing Don't disturb this groove. I fell in love with the guitar player that night. Pesco. Thanks for the upload!!!!
This is a treasure!! Thank you so much for sharing this! I don't know if I'm the only fan girl of David Frank! he's hot as hell! and Mic Murphy he's so fine too! Long live tho The System! Real music!
This is the true dynamic duo here I agree Ana....Mic murphy has a original voice ...the sound of new york!! And paul pesco a great complement to david franks keyboard wizardry!!
The SYSTEM. Timeless good ass music.These 2 have such great chemistry. Much Respect to this Duo and the Great Paul Pesco! I play bass and this band is partly responsible for me getting deep into synth bass. I must agree, to say that David Frank is a BEAST is putting it mildly. The man is a Juggernaut not just for the great pop/r & b songs from The SYSTEM but for his outside production & keyboard work on killer R & B-POP music. Mic still sounds really awesome and apparently this rhrsl clip is only a few years old? Live shows usually go up a notch in intensity so I can only imagine them in concert. SMDH. Hopefully I will get to see them live soon. Thank you Lloyd Harvey. Peace.
This is the most fun i have had since I recorded lead vocals with Slave in New York in 1984 at Atlantic Records!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this you guys! You are the absolute best Dynamic Duo EVER!!!!!!! Excellent behind the scenes footage you Three!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best 80’s song I popped off of on the dance floor, “ Your in my system”! I still love that cut! Few people got to see me kill this song doing my Hip Hop popping routine back in April of 2006 in Boston ! To all my Poppers out there! This ones for you!!!💗💗💗
Luuuuuvvvvvvv ❤️Mic Murphy❤️ and The System 💣👏🏾✊🏾🎤 Mic can Saaaaaang, soooooo underrated, his voice is unmistakable and unique!!!! And still fine as EVER, love his swag!!! 🎼Oh say can you see, I'm coming to America 🎼 and Beat Street OMG👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Dude! they should have played "No Fear of Flying" in the show. It is my second favorite song from the System Overload album. I can't believe they didn't make it a single!.
You and me both. I so wanted them to play that too. Its a tough one but "No fear of flying" is probably my fav. I have a nice remix of "System overload" to release in the next few weeks.
Lloyd Harvey only hearing this album for the first time today, but gotta agree, love "No Fear Of Flying", it's a great album but that track stands out.
I've played "Don't Disturb This Groove" at least once a day since its release. It is one of only a handful of songs in the history of phonograph that can immediately take me to "that place". -Micahisgod I love this band.
I love The System I bought all your albums back in the 80s. I was just feeling you guys music a lot this week and then I stumbled on this particular live performance..Which was a pleasure!!!! You guys Time Has Come $$ Again!! don't underestimate what the future holds!❤❤
They Jamming!!! My Brothers “ The Mighty Trio”; Perfect Combination!! That’s How It’s Done!! A Blessing to the sound of 🎼🎤🎹🎸; Bring that beat, strum, harping, and Mello D. Back. The best sound that revolutionized music, and the listening audience. You’re In My System 4 Life!!
THIS GOES DOWN AS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER, I WAS 12 when this came OUT AND WHEN I HEAR THIS I GO BACK IN TIME, 80’s WERE THE BEST❤️❤️🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 THANKS GUYS
Timeless! Classic! They should bring the group to iHeart Radio Music Festival for a throwback performance! Many bands have done it, & The System would be an awesome fit!
Love it. These guys should have a UnSung segment...
Corey Oliphant Agree wholeheartedly!!!
100% facts
Mic spoke on it in an interview I read somewhere. He said they have no sad ending or tragedies, drug abuse, loss of everything financially, and/or scandals in their story, so he said he thinks that's why the networks aren't interested in it.
or Maybe it was David who said that, I can't remember, but one of them said that and I can understand that. All the unsungs need something bad or tragic in the story arc to air.
David Frank is the human sequencer, amazing talent
You should TH-cam the systems production work they've been all over the place in the 80s🎉
These guys are still ahead of their time. Incredible. I am so glad that OG cats like this are still here, the DNA of your sound is still heard in today's music. The keyboard man is insane, he is playing those damn parts, not just silly loops over and over like today's music. Just absolutely fantastic. DAVID FRANK is totally underated.
See kids this just proves. 80's music JUST DOESN'T DIE...!!! It can be resurrected at ANY TIME. What an awesome era i was privileged to be a part of.
These guys are still as hot as ever.Real talent never dies.A loyal fan.
David Frank is a BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed!!!!
+Anthony Williams is that the lead singer
No, David Frank is the keyboardist. do you like this group?
Anthony Williams i just love this song.

They went hard in rehearsal and then took that same intensity into the concert.

To watch Mic and Paul's faces during "You're In My System" you know they're in Da Groove ... brings a Grin to My Face. ..... And then Breakdown at the End... BadAss
Mic Murphy still looked good there. No drugs, no cult.....just straight naturally talented.
Love these guys. They were not given the credit they deserved for the Stars they really are.
"This is totally Awesome! we need music like this back on the radio." LOVE IT!
Within a few months, the anniversary of this performance is approaching. It felt great meeting them at that night. I even had to write about it on Medium. That's how much I enjoyed myself that night.

Joe Ramsey Yes he does!!! He sounds like he did in the 80s. He took care of his voice well.
The "80 of the 80s" podcast reminded me how pure awesome this song is, and this video shows what real talents Mic and David are.
I had a sip of wine and it was Fine! That was the first time! Its 40 years later and you all are as good as the first sip! Timeless and beautiful! Thank you!!
