I remember 1982, the parachute pants, my Douglas Snider dance boots (roller skates), jumping over barrels in Central Park in NYC and skating in dance circles--not a care in the world as a 16 year old--loved it all. It was true "Paradise" Thank you.
This song came out during my innocence of a 16/17 young man….. great memories…. For some reason it stayed in the roller deck of my mind music catalog….THE GREAT LUTHER VANDROSS❤……what is it about this song that keeps me coming back to it?!!!
listen to that bass !!!!!!! gawd i love this song.. makes me think of my days as a courier for FedEx ..driving out in Antelope Valley with my boom box on the passenger seat... just me and the miles and this great amazing music... i miss it all
Change’s Paradise, is a masterpiece. In pop music history, the opening of this song (featuring a brilliant slap bass guitar performance) is instantly recognizable . The lead vocalist, had the voice of an angel. You’ll wanna hear it, over and over again. One of the best songs of the 80’s. Unforgettable music. Awe inspiring, spiritual, magical, epic pop music history. Music to climb mountains to.... Is Change.
Even though this is written seven (7) years later, the lead singer of "Paradise" was Diva Gray; not Deborah Cooper. Deborah Cooper did background on this song and fronted the band in live performances.
Underrated band with major players at that time..more powerful now because music listeners realize the great sounds that this great production group gave out.
I recall this great jam by Change...when I came out of high school in the summer of 1982 (nyc) and I took my big JVC.boombox to the "circle " and played my box for the rollerskaters...good times...
ciau moky.anch'io la penso come te....ascoltando "paradise" mi sembra di tornare agli anni d'oro della musica di qualità quando avevo solo sette anni e sentivo le prime volte in radio questo brano stupendo e meraviglioso.....!!!! buona giornata mia cara!!!!
This traQ is awesome yesterday and is awesome today (" the intro bass is unforgettable and all through. The lyrics and vocals...it's all good together. This song gives me a good feeling ...it always takes me somewhere good (" Great Group ("
no they are not unless you were on the dance floor when it came out PARADISE GARAGE FOREVER. this is a classic. I FEEL IT THEN AND NOW MINUS the Richard Long sound system.
i wish people would NOT call this disco - this was CLUB music before House music went public. I was there. I know the difference. There was a great article I read in Philly in 1990 about how disco transitioned to club music and then into House music. Gotta find that article. That said it all.
This is actually what italo disco happened to be in 1981, as a rip-off the Chic, and later a rip off Zapp & Roger Eventually Sangy of Firefly, another Chic rip-off, made out in 1983, Valery Allington - Stop which was indeed a house music precursor also Celso Vali of Passengers (another rip-off) was behind Peter Richard with 1983 Walking In The Neon (and worked along with Tony Carrasco of the 1982 Klein & MBO)
I agree; it is neither disco nor classic house music. Cuts like "Paradise" represent a sophisticated form of dance club music whose producers sought to avoid the "disco" label in the early '80s while appealing to urban R+B fans and also the hard-core dance crowd that turned the group's debut into a hit album. Yes, they were influenced by Chic, as were many other artists, but it's over-stating it to call their music "Chic rip-offs" etc. Even a cursory listen to the two groups' sound reveals the difference in their approaches. The producers of Change realized that dance music (or "disco") was no longer a fad so they opted for a polished and appealing brand of love-oriented slick R+B-lite. As a result they began to alienate their dance music following by joining the crowded field of up-scale R+B acts with loads of mid-temp ballads that were lush and...quite frankly, a bit bland and sleepy. They never did another track that got the street buzz of "Searching" or "A Lover's Holiday". Instead, they went with a sound more similar to "The Glow of Love" (minus the magic of Luther Vandross). Listen to their new album; it's beautifully produced up-scale R+B with a few tasty concessions to the dance crowd that gave them their initial success.
No no no Luther had an album 4 years before his guest appearance on changes first album in which was the glow of love look up his song the 2nd time around that was on his album which was on Cotillion records the same label as Slave Mass Production and Sister Sledge. 🤘🏾
OMG I searched forever without knowing the title of this song! The memories! I remember being in 7th grade and this guy named Verbano was so popular caus ehe could dance the Metallic Gigolo!
Remember this playing out my dads brown pontiac 2 door catalina,at the lakefront 67th as a kid ,bongos playing ,kids playing people selling the neon necklaces green or purple,the ice cream truck dat passed thru snowballs with the gum at the bottom ,bomb pops,barb que grills ,tents everywhere I was a kid maybe 8 or 9g ,playing with other kids ,Ella n Carl or Brayant n Sabrina my parents friends meet us there early 1980s, this song makes me reminisce n cry my childhood !!!
@@louisokeefe8307 I only mentioned the musicians and singers. Of course Jacques Fred Petrus was the Mastermind of the project and co-founder along with Mauro Malavasi of Goody Music Productions,but he was'nt a musician but sure he was a genius
That bass!!
Bass outstanding !
" BASSLINE " LORD HAVE MERCY PREACH !!!!
Absolutely

Graduated end of 70s. Fortunate to be able to Club through the 80s. And man did we have a time. Told my wife don't ask.
Damn right!! 👍🏾🖤😎💯💃
Because of my parents I know this music and more. You don't have to be older to appreciate this!!
That's right ✅️
I wish the music of today was more like this!
Simply no equals. Change ever lasting music and Paradise is a testament to their talent. It makes me drift back to my Teenager times.
Change’s Paradise, is a masterpiece.

You’ll wanna hear it, over and over again.

House DJ's all talk about the music their parents listened and danced to. Dancing is what propelled the music!
I agree 💯 i was too that was real music
This was definitely not disco.
awesome at the most extreme.....this is inspiring at the utmost!
Hard...i think my grand parents used to dance to this
Wonderful..magnifique..grupo italo-americano...❤
Italian disco music ❤
nice bass groove
The sound of a Fender Jazzmaster on fire......DAYUM
Mercredi, Jeudi, Vendredi, Samedi......les nights de folie ! Je me suis funkisé avec ce groupe !!! excellent thank you
This is brilliant.just the amount of effort put in producing these classics.❤
Un des meilleurs morceaux de musique qui existent _ MAGNIFIQUE -
And Paolo Gianolio, Davire Romani...the first example of global music
Man...all these mentions...with only ONE reference to Luther. This is where he started!!! #RIP
+David Walker Actually he started singing jingles for KFC and backing vocals for David Bowie...
No no no Luther had an album 4 years before his guest appearance on changes first album in which was the glow of love look up his song the 2nd time around that was on his album which was on Cotillion records the same label as Slave Mass Production and Sister Sledge. 🤘🏾
the group is called LUTHER ,,, TWO ALBUMS ON COTILLION
Luther was on the other track on that album which does not compare to this one. this is a dance floor filler.
Great Music,,, YEAH!!!!!
Ricordiamoci che questa e' la dance music al 100% italiana
One of the evergreen best… :)
They ain't making them like this anymore, huh!
True
FANTASTIQUE.
Je suis transporté dans les années 80 . Une folie . Nice , Very nice .
