All I can say is....WOWWW!!!!! This brings back soooo many memories! If you're not from Chicago,you couldn't...and wouldn't understand at all! Growing up in the Chi was the best..ever! From the parties,to the pizzas,to the Dipped italian beefs, the beaches.,the house parties..the ladies...and the snowed in nights! Chicago represent..no doubt!!!!
it's been over 24 years when we were blessed by jamie with this song. there is nothing like it. that was a great time to be young. dance like no one is watching...
Best track ever !!! Takes me (all the way) back ! soooooooooooo many happy memories ! THANK YOU FRANKIE ! You rest in peace now , and maybe we meet again on the other side !
I got turned on to this tune via Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It touched a nerve to say the least. Little did I know that I was listening to one of the cornerstones of house music.
Its funny being told by my dad "this isn't real music no one will care about it in a few years" well 30 years later & kids hearing this now still think its special
It's Jamie Principle's track. This was the first commercial release. Knuckles as a DJ played the original tape in his sets. They should both take credit one for Jamie's idea and two for Knuckles getting it into the clubs. PS: Adrienne Jett should also take some deserved credit for the female vocals. Check out - 'Feels Good' by Electra feat Tara Butler on Emergency Records, 1982.
IN THE BEGINNING, THERE WAS JACK, AND JACK HAD A GROOVE, And from this groove came the groove of all grooves, And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldy declared, “Let there be HOUSE!” and house music was born. “I am, you see, I am the creator, and this is my house! And, in my house there is ONLY house music. But, I am not so selfish because once you enter my house it then becomes OUR house and OUR house music!” And, you see, no one man owns house because house music is a universal language, spoken and understood by all. You see, house is a feeling that no one can understand really unless you’re deep into the vibe of house. House is an uncontrollable desire to jack your body. And, as I told you before, this is our house and our house music. And in every house, you understand, there is a keeper. And, in this house, the keeper is Jack. Now some of you who might wonder, “Who is Jack, and what is it that Jack does?” Jack is the one who gives you the power to jack your body! Jack is the one who gives you the power to do the snake. Jack is the one who gives you the key to the wiggly worm. Jack is the one who learns you how to walk your body. Jack is the one that can bring nations and nations of all Jackers together under one house. You may be black, you may be white; you may be Jew or Gentile. It don’t make a difference in OUR House. And this is fresh!
The sickest house track ever! Like a power ballard with the snare and the vocals and the strong house presence with the four on the floor beat and the bassline riff is just sickest! And last not least the arpeggio with the retro synth! EPIC!!!
im 35 my kid is 15 and he's just getting into the 90s techno-now he's diggin da crates and listning to my cuts. aaahh-the bass lives on., Great memories thank god for the internet-im finding all my old jams. this sound is incredible! crack for your ears.
♥when I'm with you, I believe, that your love is true... when we love, you turn me out, you know what to do... visions really blow my mind, fantasizing all the time...♫ ♥when your body's next to me, I begin to sway... when we touch I lose control, now you know what's next... fantasizing all the time, move your body next to mine...♫
Been an interesting thing to revisit the memories that this music brings. My house was mere blocks from Mendel HS where this stuff was available on a weekly basis and truly appreciate the front row seat for a whole new genre of music. I was pretty shy in these days and didn't have a whole lot of experience on the dance floor but this music MADE you move. All I can say is thanks.
Candi Staton is a marvelous singer. Sure pure House has it own rawness and original feel. Thats why I said enjoyed by the masses for The Source.. Both well done track. Candi Staton is a marvelous singer.
I used to go nuts when ron hardy would drop this. Or for that matter anything jamie p made. But to chime in on the vocalist battle I would have to say the late great Darly pandy (chi-town) and Ultra Nate -NYC. Listen to its over by her. I still bang that!!
The name & artist of one of my fave classic old skool tracks has completely eluded me & Im going nuts! Can someone plz do a girl a solid?!! Female vocals: "No one can change the way I feel, because my love for you is real, it's you that I want"...
Anybody who is anybody in the CHI knows this is real HOUSE!! Jackin to this was almost an everyday thing. To dis this is not only ridiculous but shows that I grew up in the right city at the right time. Kenwood Class of 83, so don't even think about questioning my knowledge. Chicago House is and will always be the SHIT!!
Jamie seems so humble in interviews. Does he realize how his music transfixed a whole generation of people? The music on this track is ridiculous, even without his wonderful voice, the track itself stands on its own.
fukin all time classic - this or Frankies mix both excellent. vocal is amazing, this track has so much depth and has stood the test of time well. Warehouse anthem
Umm he didn't actually make this version. This is Jamie's - he wrote it, and originally performed it. Frankie took a lot of the credit of breaking it as a track.
I can't let go When I'm with you I believe that your love is true when we love you turn me out you know what to do visions really blow my mind fantasizing all the time When your body's next to mine I begin to sweat when we touch I lose control now you know what's next fantasizing all the time move your body next to mine I need your love I need your love I need your love Don't make me wait too long ooh I need your touch I can't let go I can't let go
@amylondongirl the 80s music historically is best music and still is, that is why all the tunes from 80s are gold dust, in a goldmine. The 80s produced so many original, unique tunes and thus creation of early genres of music
Well no disrespect intended but i know who got the credit. I prefer the stripped down versions of Jamies tracks as the sound i think he originaly intended was a lot closer to Italo-euro disco. Frankie Knuckles seemed to push his mixes of them more towards the house sound. It was Ron Hardy who broke this track so i hear.
The Solitude of Prime numbers, an Italian movie... has this in the soundtrack, as well as Energy Flash by Adam X. great movie, incredible soundtrack (Ali Naderzad, Screen Comment)
@johnnycheck99 you MUST be like 20years old or younger, maybe @ the most 25 with NO older siblings if you dont know who Jamie Principle is! He is by far the GREATEST house artist alive! LEGEND! It has to be a crime not to know who he is! What has happened to music is a shame when legends are not known. Not a knock on you but its what society has come to.
@amylondongirl You can say that again. This was pure dance music with no violence and obscenities. I still can identify with such smooth and quality music. This was during my high school days and house was the deal. One love...by the way I am from Zimbabwe.
hey thanks for sharing this track. I only found out there was an earlier version than the Frankie Knuckles one last night when watching the history of house documentary here on you tube. This version is even better than the great Knuckles one on Trax!!
2023 still here melting and swooning to this beautiful classic.
No idea how anyone could thumbs down this. Maybe they looking for swedish mafia.
But my God this bassline eats my insides.
Legendary track, I can only imagine how futuristic this must have sounded back then.
Sounded better on ecstasy :p
Wo the same as all of us is lying to you about ❤❤qz rkrlrl😅yeèaàgy😅@@eld460
I am 43 years of age soon and I still play this stuff.....fantastic
Happy 56th
All I can say is....WOWWW!!!!! This brings back soooo many memories! If you're not from Chicago,you couldn't...and wouldn't understand at all! Growing up in the Chi was the best..ever! From the parties,to the pizzas,to the Dipped italian beefs, the beaches.,the house parties..the ladies...and the snowed in nights! Chicago represent..no doubt!!!!
it's been over 24 years when we were blessed by jamie with this song. there is nothing like it. that was a great time to be young. dance like no one is watching...
i can listen to this over an over an over an over an over
Best track ever !!! Takes me (all the way) back ! soooooooooooo many happy memories ! THANK YOU FRANKIE !
You rest in peace now , and maybe we meet again on the other side !
Agree, Frankie Knuckles RIP.
But it's not his track? Might be credited to him, but this is all Jamie Principle....
I got turned on to this tune via Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It touched a nerve to say the least. Little did I know that I was listening to one of the cornerstones of house music.
Its funny being told by my dad "this isn't real music no one will care about it in a few years" well 30 years later & kids hearing this now still think its special
I am turning 30 years old. House Music has been a part of my life since limewire/napster had came out. House will forever be a part of my life.
It’s a very special song to me. I’m 53 and still in love with Jamie’s voice and the backing singers! Pure elation. Bliss . PLUR !!
Absolutely fantastic, a true timeless classic.
brings back memories of 1989 still get goose bumps listening to this version
This track i feel in love with 20 years ago,and the reason why i promoted clubs for 12 years,an all time CLASSIC.
Listen,Love and ENjoy!!!!
It's Jamie Principle's track. This was the first commercial release. Knuckles as a DJ played the original tape in his sets.

Exactly. I hate how Frankie Knuckles takes most of the credit for what is basically a remix.
Calm down, we know it’s Jamie principle
Carrots & Beets 😉
Also the fact that Mark Hot Rod added the bass and the synths - arguably the catchiest part of the track

Fantastic. The emotion of the chorus is just chilling.
This will always be pinnacle of house music imo.

a master piece! house music all night long. 30 year old and I still play this song.
Been an interesting thing to revisit the memories that this music brings. My house was mere blocks from Mendel HS where this stuff was available on a weekly basis and truly appreciate the front row seat for a whole new genre of music.

This is pure house music baby 4 all those who didn't know! Chi-Town baby! Shot out 2 all the clubs 2 numerous 2 name.
You cant stop listening to this song, is just great!! Long live to house music
Candi Staton is a marvelous singer. Sure pure House has it own rawness and original feel. Thats why I said enjoyed by the masses for The Source.. Both well done track. Candi Staton is a marvelous singer.
Respect forever Jamie Principle.
Checking your age and where you live, I wouldn't expect a answer like that! You on point like you witness the Chicago House Boom in the middle 80's!!
One of my favs of ALL TIME
I used to go nuts when ron hardy would drop this. Or for that matter anything jamie p made. But to chime in on the vocalist battle I would have to say the late great Darly pandy (chi-town) and Ultra Nate -NYC. Listen to its over by her. I still bang that!!

30 yrs old now (1983), and still a master peace !!!
Full respect to the early days, great song, poetry n house in motion!!
Anybody who is anybody in the CHI knows this is real HOUSE!! Jackin to this was almost an everyday thing. To dis this is not only ridiculous but shows that I grew up in the right city at the right time.
Kenwood Class of 83, so don't even think about questioning my knowledge. Chicago House is and will always be the SHIT!!
I remember the days when this track was tearing down warehouse parties in the UK:) Glorious times of love and good vibes :)))
I come to this spot every Friday....
Jamie seems so humble in interviews. Does he realize how his music transfixed a whole generation of people? The music on this track is ridiculous, even without his wonderful voice, the track itself stands on its own.
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SHIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT!!!! THAT MY JAM!!!!!!!!

Umm he didn't actually make this version. This is Jamie's - he wrote it, and originally performed it. Frankie took a lot of the credit of breaking it as a track.

@amylondongirl the 80s music historically is best music and still is, that is why all the tunes from 80s are gold dust, in a goldmine. The 80s produced so many original, unique tunes and thus creation of early genres of music
mammouth. so how much of this is down to Jamie, and how much down to Frankie, God rest his soul ?
Well no disrespect intended but i know who got the credit. I prefer the stripped down versions of Jamies tracks as the sound i think he originaly intended was a lot closer to Italo-euro disco. Frankie Knuckles seemed to push his mixes of them more towards the house sound. It was Ron Hardy who broke this track so i hear.
Let’s bring it back to ‘86
lol... nice one. When that came out i instantly said "hmmm a bloke done this track waaaayy back" but couldn't remember who or when.
The Solitude of Prime numbers, an Italian movie... has this in the soundtrack, as well as Energy Flash by Adam X. great movie, incredible soundtrack (Ali Naderzad, Screen Comment)
I need your love. Perfect
house music is my life
Never going out of style! House Classic!
.TOP 10 !!
The best bass line ever. FACT..!!!
Nothing like this great music they don't make it like this no more 😫
@johnnycheck99 you MUST be like 20years old or younger, maybe @ the most 25 with NO older siblings if you dont know who Jamie Principle is! He is by far the GREATEST house artist alive! LEGEND! It has to be a crime not to know who he is! What has happened to music is a shame when legends are not known. Not a knock on you but its what society has come to.
house is a bastardisation of disco hip hop and soul.
i luv playing this LOUD and dancing around the loungeroom
this song is history, this song start the electronic music. love this song
@amylondongirl
You can say that again. This was pure dance music with no violence and obscenities. I still can identify with such smooth and quality music. This was during my high school days and house was the deal. One love...by the way I am from Zimbabwe.
nostalgic. man i want somebody to bring this to the new house crowd. love it. :-)
