The Black cookout classic
DEFINITELY!!
Ooooooooooook
80's music will NEVER die!🤣🤣🤣
True
Gone head and click that pen
You got a taste of Tom Browne with " Funkin For Jamaica " now you gotta here " Thighs High " it's my favorite
The teenager playing the piano is Bernard wright at 16 years old and the other guy playing the bass is a 17-year-old Marcus Miller before they became famous on their own
This dropped in 1980 so marcus was about 21 around this time he was working with david sanborn but he was already an established sideman on bass
Bernard Wright basically came up with the whole song on the keys and they fed off of him!! His first album is fire!!!
I DID NOT know that was Marcus Miller!!
I knew the guy on piano was N'ard. Even so, I just learned fairly recently that his mom was Roberta Flack.
Small world, indeed.
Who do you love?…

This was a straight get up out of your seat and get on the dance floor jam!
Tribute to Jamaica, Queens N.Y.
Yep! "That mall" on 165th closed recently. Gentrification has reached Jamaica, sadly.
Southside stand up!!
Big facts lol my pops from st Albans i knew from lil kid it was about Jamaica queens
With over four decades under his belt as a recording artist, jazz and R & B trumpeter Tom Browne is an artist who has created his own lane musically while merging the worlds of jazz, soul, funk, and rhythm and blues into a unique sound that’s all his own.
Born in 1954 in New York, Browne started playing the piano at age 11, which led to him taking up a number of instruments. He ultimately was classically trained in trumpet and continued his studies at the Manhattan School of Music and Art.
After being exposed to jazz music at Kingsborough College, where he graduated with a degree in physics, Browne took a gig with the legendary soul/R & B artist Weldon Irvine and used that as a stepping stone for stints with jazzman Sonny Fortune and the funk unit The Fatback Band, launching his trumpeting career.While “Browne Sugar” made waves in the contemporary jazz scene, Browne’s next album, 1980’s “Love Approach” brought a decidedly different flavor and it was brought on by a tune that was initially a throwaway, filler track and the last song to be added to the album.
“Funkin’ for Jamaica” was an homage to the Jamaica, Queens neighborhood where he was born and raised and that was also home to other notable artists such as Don Blackman, Marcus Miller, Bernard Wright, Weldon Irvine and others.
The tone of the track is set from the first note, as Browne’s funky introductory solo played over exuberant chatter from cats from his neighborhood. The song also features powerfully moving and funky vocals from the late Thomassina Smith, or Toni Smith, who many mistook for Chaka Khan.
The track would go on to be played in clubs, skating rinks, and house parties all around the world, and would be later sampled by a myriad number of hip-hop acts, reach number one on the Billboard R & B charts and become one of the signature songs in the canon of funk music.The buzz surrounding Browne was that he had distinctive jazz chops and could fuse his skillset with a multitude of other music genres. He caught the eye of GRP records who signed him to a deal and his released his debut album, “Browne Sugar,” in 1979.By this time, Browne was revered as an artist for his ability to incorporate jazz, soul, funk, with a high degree of skill and improvisational groove that brought a virtuosity to his work.
His 1981 album “Magic” was a more direct foray into contemporary jazz, but featured another funk tune, “Thighs High (Grip Your Hips and Move),” which found its way into spaces similar to the ones that “Funkin’ for Jamaica” did a year before.
Bernard Wright, who played the bass on this track, also had a big hit with his song "Who Do You Love". Give that a listen.
Don't forget "Just Chillin' Out"
Vocalist is Toni Smith RIP
Jetzt unfortunately not longer among us.
This is from the summer of 1980, 44years ago and I still cant believe it's been that long!! I was a teenager at the time...time really flies!! Its still sound good like it did back then!😊❤
The horns are straight 🔥 🔥 on this song
I love this song
Every boombox and car had this bumpin when i was a kid in my hood
Jamaica Queens checking in! This is the anthem and has been since I was 11 yrs old. (54 currently)
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This request is fire! 😎❤️Ashley’s reaction is always on point!
Tom Brown is the horn player, this was another pop lock-in jam! Great reaction..❤
Yep Yep...another classic for me....One of them songs that you wish it didn't end...
The vocalist is the late Toni Smith (R.I.P.). Many people early on thought it was "Chaka Khan" on vocals to the point where it's quoted that Chaka herself heard it and said "When did I record that?", (jokingly). Tom Browne is the blue-shirt trumpet player in the intro. This is definitely a "Funk Classic".....good reaction.
Isn't she Chaka Khan's sister?
Yep, I thought it was Chaka Khan, uncredited. Now I know why I could never find her credit! Because it wasn't Chaka! 😅 Thank you for letting me know Toni Smith is! RIP to her.
Never sounded like Chaka to me but great voice in her own right RIH
@@QutstmNo. Chaka Khans sister is Taka Boom
"Bon Bon Vie" (gimme the good life) by T S Monk (1980)
COLD 🥶
Let's goooo!
Ashley, you are doing the dang thang 😅 , loving your old school reactions 💪🙏💯😊
A BIG YES!!! Running the air waves . From the clubs , radio and cars !!! Excuse me while I get up from this recycliner and SHAKE A BOOTY. My wife of 37 years has join in with me and i love 💕 her.
Classic funk jam!! Also, please check for Bernard Wright "Who do you love" & "Haboglabotribbin"
The late great Ms Toni Smith ❤
Thighs High that’s all I’m going to say! Next!!

This has been a great jam since K ws a little kid. This song gwts everyone out on the dance floor! This song is just so Funky👍🏿🔥👍🏿🔥👍🏿🔥👍🏿🔥👍🏿🔥👍🏿🔥👍🏿🔥
Oh yeah, chillin at the skating rink.
Tom Browne played the opening trumpet riff.
My high school years. The funk is so hot , you can smell it down the block.
That face you're making....the funk gets you everytime
Pure uncut Funk 🤘🏾
Power funk jam from my early 20's............. so so good at the clubs.
I was playing the trumpet in my college band when this song came out. Of course, I loved it then and still love it after all these years.
Ash I just found you recently and I Love Love Love your reactions!!! How about some Staples Singers "Let's Do It Again" and some MC Lyte "Poor Georgie", "Keep On Keepin On" and "RuffNeck"
Yes, "Let's Do It Again" by the Staples!
Babygirl Ashley, These are my favorite moments in watching reaction videos. Watching you fall in love with a song that is part of the fiber of my being, and I suspect, has quickly become part of yours too.
Good music will do that❤.
The summer I was 12, living on my roller skates! His other big hit was Thighs High, same vibe❤
The vocals for the single were performed by Toni Smith (Thomassina Carrollyne Smith), who also helped compose the song. The song hit number one on the US Billboard R&B chart for a month.
Always thought she had that Chaka Khan voice but Tom Brown is a hell of a musician trumpet player
Hands down belter! 👌
Nice, you are killing it Ashley with these reaction and probs to those who is requesting these hot tracks I heard that the lady who is sing passed away from us but her vocal was fire. But if you have some time can you react to Taste Of Honey "Boogie Oogie Oogie" around this time of music almost all music was FIRE
Bernard Wright on the bass
(Who Do You Love)
Toni Smith is the vocalist, she passed away a couple of years ago. Many thought it was Chaka Khan after hearing her for the first time. Great choice.
Another 80's Banger!!!!!!
I was a teenager back then and they played on the radio. We thought she was Chaka Khan really we did because there was no video at the time when it first came out I heard on WBLS107.5 in New York Frankie Crocker the great DJ played it. He probably played it that day around six or seven times and it caught fire thank you Ashley for giving us this great memory from my teenage✌🏿
Bernard Wright passed away in 2022 (car accident) he has also played with Snarky Puppy . Check out Snarky Puppy “Take It”- feat. Bernard Wright which was one of his last recordings
I didn't expect you to find that🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥
toni smith is the beautiful chicolate lady she also co wrote the song 👑✡️🔱
Please listen ti his "Thighs High (I Wanna Grip Your Hips & Move" - my fav!❤
Flashback
Please kindly react to Rafael Cameron - All That's Good to Me. This guy got many great 80's songs
He you check out Disco Inferno by the Trammps next time
I always thought it was Chaka Khan singing the lead! Sounds a lot like her to me!
Click the Pen Ashley!!!!
Now you have to do Thighs High by Tom Browne.
Fun Fact - "Dre Day" by Dr. Dre, on his Chronic album.....sampled this song.
For those that don't know..
The song is about Jamaica, Queens not the Caribbean island. 😎
BTW -- THe Sista is Toni Smith. ,💥
Also..Tim was a musical genius that had a perfect pitch...
I knew him from HS in the mid '70s where we were part of a "chitlin band".. didn't make money but had a blast playing out ..😎💥
Yes,Clarify!!! Cause you know that’s the first thing people will assume. She needs to listen to “Thighs High”! Thats the cut!!
I was checking to see if someone documented that👊🏾👊🏾
I'm glad you said that because those Jamaicans tried to hijack this song! They still think these people are Jamaicans and they talking about the island and not Queens,NY!!!😂😂😂These are our people!!! I'm from Miami and they hate to hear the truth about this song!!
Who is the "Tim" you referred to--with the
"perfect pitch"?
@thetruthhuThey're not listening to the adlib in the beginning where he references "165th St" and "that mall".
👍👍👍👍👍👍
🧡🔥🔥🔥
Classic shit
Toni Smith is her name Ashley
Thighs High please
You been doing lots of slow jams without diving neck deep into the jazz, funk, soul, disco and BLUES of Black Folks Music both American and UK. And that's BEFORE HIP HOP. I come from the funk jazz disco deep house music era of DANCEABLE funky Soulful black music INCLUDING Blue Eyed Soul artists who although non black fully embrace black music of various levels. So that includes lots of instrumentation and improvisation both musical AND LYRICAL complete with beautiful poetry at times.
But I'll stop right there. 😂
Les Nubians remade this and it’s good
Bernard Wright is a keyboardist not a bassist.
I was today years old when I learned this is not only NOT a Chaka Kahn song, but she ain’t even the vocalist on the project! Who the hell is Tom Browne. I’m bout to revoke my own Black card and ask the community for grace!! 🤦🏽♂️
