Baby come funk wit me ...

Some women have such great style. If that singer was stepping out or performing in that head to toe look in 2024 she'd be fresh. Love the sleeve.
The singer “Toni Smith” (Thomassina Carrollyn) passed away on January 28, 2020 - Her beautiful and strong voice and her feline sensuality are eternalized in this song
Best of the best old school
16 year old Bernard Wright on piano. He died a few weeks ago on May 19th in an auto accident in Dallas.
Such Talent at a young age RIP
She’a Amazing! We’ve lost a Sparkle in our world. RIP
RIP
The drummers energy is everything

Rest In Peace Bernard Wright. He was 16 years old playing on this song on keyboard with the Blue jacket and orange sunglasses. Your music was a gift to the world 🌎
What a jam.
That keyboard is cold on this joint.
YES👍
Loved him too
Wow, only 16?! He's jammin' like an "oldie"!
I'm 77 and this groove still gets into me. Can't stop moving!
never stop!
Yes Brother Apostle 🙏🏾
I'm a DJ and I always fit this in my act
Who could?
Yeaaah!
One of the best R&B songs ever recorded

Tom Browne reminiscing about Jamaica, Queens where he grew up.....
Yep!!
Going past 165th Street Mall (shopping area by Jamaica Queens MTA Bus Terminal)…
Still Jamming this in 2024
Yep...Jamaica W.I.
One of my all time favorite songs. I'm 66 and can't help but dance to this....takes me back to the good times.
One of my favorites too. I'm 57 and I am glad to be able to find them old school jamms they made high school fun n😊
Hey I'm 60. So I feel you completely! My soul brought me here 4/28/2022! #GiveLove!!
I'm 65! This song is coming along with me until I cross the finish line!!!!
I'm sure. I'm 50 and and it takes me back.
Y'all Old ... but the funk is good.
The era when female singers were naturally beautiful ♥️♥️♥️
And they could sing!!
Still love love love...
Hell yeah
nothing but the truth
Sad in this era we’re still minimizing females to features. I know you meant it as a compliment but there’s over 5 males to 1 woman 🙃and you’re comparing her looks to other females. Not her talent. The comparing alone is micro mindset that needs elevation. Woman then and now had Brains and beauty.
RIP Toni. Your voice was out of this world! You’ll forever be missed.
You're spot on! I've listened to this song thousands of times since the day it came out, until this very day. There's no school, like old school. For those who didn't live it, you missed out.
@@silverlakegirl9078 28 year old metalhead from Jamaica, Queens here. I wasn’t born in that era, but I see this as the sound of the hood, not all this new rap and hip-hop. I grew up on music like this song and lots of jazz and fusion courtesy of my father being a musician as well, and even though I transitioned into metal, I have an unending soft spot for old school music. It hits so much different than the hip-hop and rap that was present in my area, and I’m glad to say I had good influences musically growing up.
...it's as if she were born to sing it
Sorry to hear that . How long ago did pass on . Her voice made this song .
@Mary Hartman she died in 2020, unfortunately.
They young people don’t even
Know what group sound sounds like… or groups playing instruments.,,,, I’m loving it 2024
IKR. But am 76. My kids jammed to this. Grandkids. And my great greats 4 so far. 😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sometimes the stars are aligned just right to come up with a flawless masterpiece. This song was definitely one of them.
This song is ahead of its time
Amen to that!
Indeed. A timeless classic
Absolutely, brother
Yes! Yes! Yes!
That lady sung the hell out of this song!!! They look like they was having fun filming this video!!
Baby!!! Did She????? No Question 😂
❤❤❤
RIP to the memory of Toni Smith who died 1/28/2020😢😢😢😢😢😢
@@Preppyone123Her name was Toni Smith
Phenomenal voice. Hits all those notes effortlessly.
She was the 2nd coming to Chaka Khan!
I feel sorry for anyone who has never heard this song or anyone who can't enjoy this song this is a masterpiece
Agree !
@@briancooper9941 Great song. reminds me of my teenage years.
I remember this song when I was in the army 1980
Tom Browne's Love Approach, Motorhead's Ace of Spades, Santana's Zebop, carried me thru the summer of 81.
100% correct.
The Jamaica Queens borough anthem
Not the island Jamaica,Thank You Tom Browne for putting it on the map
It used to have (N.Y.) in the title of the song so people would know. Sometimes it is there, but most of the time it is missing.
Still listening in Kingston, Jamaica though 🇯🇲....❤ Bless Up 🎶
This was the black good time song
Played outside every time
Nothing can replace the soul of black music 💪🏾🤗
OMG!!! Anybody think it's a blessing to be black and the Good definitely outweighs the bad???? God knew what He was doing when He made me BLACK!!!!!
Sho' u right!🎩🔥🎩
YOU BETTA TELL EM'!!!!!!!
Yes
#SayThatAgain! We were all created in His image! #Amen!
Indeed! My Black is Beautiful!
I was 16years old when this song came out I am 59 years young and still grooving to this song in 2024
@roslynmccoy9115• I was 10yrs old!! All I can say what a time to be alive yes it was thirteen of us I’m number 12 born 71 but I was the babygirl 😊
The baddest shit ever this new music don't stand a chance
Thank you for the like it is a shame that this new generation will never know what real music is
Felt this comment in my soul
I am 89 yrs of age this music will never go away
Good God Almighty 🫶🏾🤎🙏🏽 You're a Blessing Sir to all of us ! We love our music especially Jamaica Funk Everybody in the Group contributed to the success of this MASTERPIECE 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾It truly makes me feel things I never felt with any other song !
keep on keeping on
I agree OG gen z is still playing this
@@CMH4U And a masterpiece it is.
Funk keeps you young🤙
She's stunning! And her voice is mesmerizing.
This jam session is a whole vibe. They knew this song was crackin when it jumped off at 0:54. The drummer’s face the whole time 😂. This is real music when you actually had to play the instruments and be able to sing.
Masterpiece.
you do know that people still have to play instruments, and sing today right? computers are instruments. MPCs are too. synths are also instruments. just because it wasnt made in your glory days doesnt make it not music. i love this stuff, and i love the stuff coming out today too.
dig beyond the surface pal
@@vogelvogeltje BS
Big fact bro look how happy them mf was ... Genuine vibes.
Did you see the guy in the blue jacket 🤣the whole time he had a grin big as Texas 🤣 I love watching this video
@@kennethjohnson4374 LMAO
RIP to Bernard Wright ….played the synth bass on this masterpiece!…genius artist, gone too soon 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️
According to my husband, Back when this was cut, 'Nard, Wink and Mike brought the record over to my father-in-law's house -- he was their karate teacher. They played it for them before it hit the radio. Same with Bernard's first album. The record in the original jacket is still there.
@@SabrinaM-qj3xy That is epic!!!
With Marcus Miller on bass and Bobby broom on guitar. All teenagers at that time.
Is that Nard who made Chillin out!!!!!!
I believe he's in a better musical space since he don't have listen to the crap today
You can't beat music from 1975 to1985.
Those years were the best.
You are so rightHinds8464,there was no better era in musical genious.
You better believe it!
You are absolutely correct
so true
Played this ++ when I was dj in army based in Germany, looking back what a play list 👏 👌
This is one of the baddest funk songs ever! The bass line oh my. Horns, guitar and piano 👏👏👏 love it
My hometown Jamaica, Queens ! "The Ave", Marguerita Pizza, Hillcrest High, York College... I MISS IT !! Moved to Georgia- but very proud to have grown up in Jamaica Queens
OMG! THEY ARE HAVING SUCH A GREAT TIME! I LOVE THE DRUMMER!
Yesssss! Can't watch this and not feel their soulful joy! Love, love, love this song!
Me toooooo the drums are awesome 👏🏾
I love everything about this jam and is still in 2022 one of my favorite songs
MUSICIANS PURE GENIUS
Me too wow ow
Tom Browne, you sure made a BAD monster classic, memorable forever. Toni Smith, may she Sleep In Paradise 🙏🏾 helped make this song WHAM! I never get tired of listening to this song from the first time I heard it forty years ago. The first sound of your trumpet in the beginning makes me lift my head similar to the animals at the beginning of The Lion King 😂😂
What you said!
😎🎶🎤💯
Don’t forget she did the same for Thighs High also.
Yes anytime 😊 I really love this❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That part! Less was MORE!
RIP she was a wonderful singer
RIP Queen. She was like Chaka Khan, only behind the scenes. With this song and her unique voice, they kept the disco world in suspense until the 90s. Memories❤

Oh my goodness! This woman just TEARS THIS SONG UP! I just love it! RIP BEAUTIFUL SIS!
I remember this song when I was 7 years old still love is an she did that R.I.P
(Whenever I listen to this jam), I will forever remember my then 7 yr. old babygurl coming home from elementary school exclaiming, "Mom !!!! ~ they played Funkin' for Jamaica on the playground, and everybody was gettin' down !" We raised her right ~ lol.
ALRIGHT THEN, LOL. She gat a taste of the GOOD stuff.
==r=r==r=rr==r=r=======r=
Dang she went to a GOOD school!!
I remember jamming to this as a child my mother played this a lot.. I’m a 70’s baby nothing like it.. this is pure 🔥
Namaste,
I feel you on the "Pure" tip; 70"s funk and soul. From one 70's baby to another.

Me too 71 bby black n proud
This was my grandpa’s favorite song.. we use to dance to this on the back pouch.. RIP Grandpa .. miss you more than you know 💙💙💙
Thank you and God bless your Grandpa. This tune helps us test telecoms and networks (with a few funky tunes) and is important to me for finishing a sub cable project to Long Island a while ago (AC-1 & AC-2 are their names). Taking a train from the Island to Penn Station through Jamaica got me and still does. Keep talking to family and keep safe. Smile and laugh, be strong. Your Grandpa is on your shoulder - as are ours. Best. Tom Browne - genius.
@ Andreas Renee…”They are not dead who live in the hearts they leave behind” 🙏🏻…..put this song and crank that volume up and watch grandpa dance again on the porch. 😉
🙏
ja, Grandpas loved to dance to a tune like this in the early eighties, ich schwöre.
My Mama rest Soul lived the Hell out this Song
Someone vibin' in 2024?
Yessssss zirrrrr
At least once a day ‼️
✨💃✨💃✨💃✨🔥
ALWAYS 😂❤😅
Of course me! 😉😎 Where are the damn comments from the disco audience that made the dance floor unsafe in the 80s/90s???
Was dancing to this as a young white kid back when I just joined the Airforce. Absolutely brilliant music
Thanx
The intro to this song....pure class
Yes pure class!
When I first heard this song as a kid in high school. I was addicted to the intro. I would play it over and over and Toni's voice and. the bass ...everything. This is the song of my youth. One of the best. My school was located not to far from Jamaica Ave...Went to an all girl Catholic School on 161st and Jamaica Ave. Rest in Peace Toni and Bernard.
Tom Browne was born and raised in JAMAICA QUEENS NEW YORK 🇺🇸 . Through song, Tom pays homage to where he is from. The song has nothing to do with 🇯🇲 . Many know that 🇯🇲, the country, is known for Reggae not FUNK. If you did not know, now you know.
OMG You just hit a homerun with those comments 🎯👌
Her voice is amazing.
E muita sensualidade também!
@@carlosaleixo7997feeeeel iitt

No Junk Here Fools Straight Up Blessings
I bought this on a 45 record when I was 13 years old, 40 years later and I still get goosebumps. 🔥🔥🔥
Keep alive with goosebump music
THIS TUNE WILL NEVER DIE CLASSIC 🎉💯🙏🏽🇯🇲👏🏾👑🔥👊🏾💪🏾
How is she not world famous???❤❤🎉🎉🎉
She's Dead 😢
I miss Nard, Toni, Dan and Don Grusin. Still have the vinyl to this. I was an 18 years old up and coming DJ. This was my opening song every time I played. RIP my family.💔
This is one of the best songs about Queens ever. Thank you.
Had, No, Idea, that this is about Queens, Lol... From Upstate, NY. So, when I heard this I thought it was.. Just, that, Jamaica Funk, Lol... Then, when I went to College in NYC Area (LIU) thought Ppl. Descendants of Jamaicans living in Downstate, NY, Did it, Lol... Learn something new...
Just look at the beauty and the unity and the happiness ?
I am an old 67 year old white woman who loves this music and was raised on Motown music. I feel color doesn't matter if you have love for the music .
Yep
Your spirit is divine, it has no race and what moves it is what moves it...
Exactly I agree it's for all of us always remember that no matter what anyone says #onelove
Welcome to the bar b que!
Yes!!!
I feel so sorry for those of them who wasn't living back then you really missed out on a great decade the 80's was so much fun really 🎉🎉🎉!!!!
THIS JAM IS ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!
Man Nard Wright hit that key bass line🔥
This track is gaining a rebirth. Love it...
A mommy/daddy fav played at a pool party today.👙👡🎶🎶 Not a single booty stayed loungin! 😎🎶🎶😄Happy music 🎶🎶☺️🎶
So glad to have sang this song with Tom Browne himself at the Jazz Cafe, London last year! 🧡
fab rendition, Vanessa well done. Wish I was there x
Look tyler on drums so inspirational
Timeless Funk. This track has everything - horns, ivory, percussion, looowwww bass, great pipes, awesome dance beat and the band just looks like they are having a blast. I never get tired listening to this song. The extended version is good too.
The joy in this studio was palpable its rare to see a group just vibing come together and make pure exstacy
2 words. Real Music 💃🏾🕺🏾...🥰😍

DAMN I'M OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER WHEN THIS WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST SONGS IN THE WORLD.
One of my all time favourite tunes from back in the day and it’s still funking in 2020... tuuuune🎺
I know the best time I ever had,, But what happened to R&B here in 2020 is like it Disappeared ? I thought that would Never Happen..
@@empire7179 Ever since hip hop came on the scene it changed R&B.
@@rodneyplayer5785 I think Hip Hop of to today did that. Old School hip hop and R&B even made music together. You had a tight R&B record with a hip hop hook,, Not no more
Seriously good music NEVER dies, no matter how many DECADES pass us by. THIS right here??? Mad classic.
There is no substitute vocalist for this young lady to custom this song !😊😎💥🧡💛💚💙💜💥💥💯
Anytime you can play a song after 40 years and it still hits like this, is a true classic. I feel sorry for these younger people their music will not last 40 plus years.
That beat is hard asfffff!!❤
0:51 yea that’s tyler right there
This song makes me feel great! "Funkin 4 Jamaica!"
"Lookin 4 Jamaica " 🔥
They don't make songs like this anymore...brilliant!!
I'm black I'm proud and long as anyone strives to be best at what they do I applaud you don't fall for the negatives period....
When she sang can you feeeeel iitt
That ran chills down my spine
Tom Browne! International man, pilot, professor of aeronautics!
Appreciate ya Tyler
RIP vocalist Toni Smith!
That looks like they had a blast
I was in the 10th grade when this came out. Never knew there was a video to the song.
Came here to watch Tyler make faces on the drums funkin for Jamaica🥰
This is one of the funkiest tracks ever recorded......................and her vocals are the stuff of legend.
That bass line is epic
Probably my favorite song of all time!!!
whos the lady? she deserves her 💐
Her name is Toni Smith
As a kid, I thought the lady singing was Chaka Khan . Young Bernard Wright on keyboard & a young Marcus Miller on bass. No wonder this song was so funky. Chuck M.'s 'Feels So Good', Herb Alpert's 'Rotation' and *this* song from Tom Browne inspired me to take up the trumpet 🎺 and play all through junior high and high school. The perfect morning wake-up song 🎵.
A superstar line up for sure! The best of the best!
Chaka Khan has in fact said that when she first heard this song she actually thought it was a song she herself had recorded but couldn't remember the recording session when she sang it.
@Herb Enmarch-Williams
I looked for the quote you mentioned. I found it *and* this video. You were right. Enjoy. 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾
ruclips.net/video/SwFeFdcrDUI/видео.html
Wonder why Marcus Miller isn't featured in this video.
@@BassGods He is a high-in-demand session musician, so perhaps he wasn't available for the filming?
No computers just old-school Talent and soul from the heart. #10
CLASSIC!!!!!!! Born and raised in South Jamaica Queens✊🏿✊🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Hey don’t forget, let bye gones be bye gones. Another Tom Brown song
I been digging on that song for a while also but it’s seems like no one else knows about it 😂
ファンキーで最高に気持ちいい曲だね！
リアルタイムで聴いていた頃は、
タイトルがジャマイカなのにレゲエの要素が全くないのが新鮮だったね。
