Nothing compares to the first five or six years of house music. Nothing comes remotely close, it was the absolute zenith of dance music and a time so pure and unadulterated, free of horrible beer sponsors and beefed up wankers giving it large. Everyone was clued up, had choice taste and knew the score. It'll never happen again, that's for sure.
Sometimes I worry about the fact, that there are people who think, they're not fitting the scene because of their age. A lot of very influencing DJs and Producers are above 70 years now. House is universal and House has always been the essence of 70s Funk and Disco.
I'm a 90s baby, but it's beautiful to see the comments of people of older generations reminiscing about their club days to these beautiful tunes. I hope to one day experience a party w/out phones and just genuine human connection. House music has the power to do it. House music for life. 😍😍
+David Smith First heard this when I moved to Philadelphia in the late 80s and I could not get enough. I begged the Dj to play it every night I went. Good memories
Same man. I'm 17 and I can't get enough of these 80s/90s house songs. Makes me wanna party in a club in that era, but sadly- I was born way after. At least I can enjoy this shit nowadays, thanks RUclips.
Imagine hearing this drop in the club on a good night out. No wonder historians call '88 the second summer of love. Of course it was tough living under Reagan and Thatcher, but at least there was music that made you remember that life isn't all that bad.
I'm an 80s chick, and 90s house music was totally awesome in NYC. Does anyone remember Kung Fu in the 80's every Saturday afternoon. It was Soul Train, then Kung Fu. Good times that will never be repeated.
I remember! Me and my pops used to watch on channel 5 at 3pm every Saturday! When we saw that Shaw Brothers logo, we knew it was gonna be some good ish!
Oh yeah I remember this song in the Hampton the club was the Neptune's Beach Club Long Island. I asked Cheryl Tiegs for those who don't know she was a Covergirl model went up to her and asked politely would you like to dance we hit the floor dance to the tune and when our separate ways. But this song will live on. In the famous words of Eddie money I want to go back and do it all over.
I've been at it for 26 years, and Inner City live in DETROIT for Movement/DEMF 2010, Good Life, is still the best moment ever out of thousands of best moments!!!
Yasss...freshly moved to San Francisco in '93, just beginning to explore club life, and hearing this JAM at a queer club and thinking, "YEAH. THIS IS WHAT A GOOD LIFE FEELS LIKE." Happy nostalgia...
"it's still better than half the stuff on the radio in 2020." Half? More like the vast majority, general music is trash nowadays ESPECIALLY compared to this golden sound.
Always thought it was neat how the old Sega games sampled and were inspired from this great era of House, Pop and other Electronic music. I immediately got Streets of Rage 2 vibes listening to this.
Anything and or everything good in life comes with this vibe, the memories of yesteryear come flooding back in an instance. Peace ✌️ love ❤️ and unity 🤝 to all listening in Nov twenty two 🌞🙏❤️🇬🇧❤️🙏
I first heard this version of this tune on Centreforce 883 a few years ago, I had to know what version of 'Good Life' this was. This is the best version!!
i was 9 when i heard this on the radio changed my life forever i learned what house music was ,it was running through my body never knew anything like it before now im 41 and still love this
This mix of Goodlife was the very first House track I ever heard. I was 14 and I was immediately in love with House. It's my all time favorite track and this mix especially... A friend had mixed it back and forth with this other great piano house tune...
@@sylvialupehernandez9154 In fact, GOOD LIFE was released in 1988 shortly after BIG FUN. The album (PARADISE, in the UK, and BIG FUN, in the USA) was released in 1989.
🤩🥰😍We had Great times. Friday and Saturday Nights LIVE! Even through the social woes of drugs and gun violence in that crack era. This music took you away, if not for kust a little while. BUT WE'D BE TIRED AS HELL by the time the music ended on a extended super mix...1500 hours of non-stop dancing 'cause you can out dance anyone....lol
A tune for the hips. Happy, Happy House, a mick mills and away you go. Great times, friendly times. crazy times, rave on. Im 50 this year. I will always be that wee lad with his hands in the air and a grin on his face.
What fanstaric tune.......yep i was there when this brilliant Inner City track came into the charts i brought the 7in and the 12in such an uplifting tune and i will always LOVE IT NUFF SAID
This jam throws me back to the 80's, me and my fine ass girl friend (now my gorgeous wife) cruzing down Lake Shore Drive on my white convertible Buick Riv playing The Good Life!!!
Spring of 2021, pandemic restrictions calm down & post studying college work, I’ll rent a Citibike in New York City at midnight & ride down the West side river starting from 96st to the World Trade Center & back. I’m happy I re found this song. I lost it & it came back on my algorithm. Feels almost as running into an old friend ✨
Simply can’t never resist to this. Everytime same story. I’m here on the couch with my hands up and my head is moving without control. Pure magic this is
I remember buying the album paradise on cassette, as lad of 16 years old way back in 1989. How times change. Still feel like a teen deep down! This Album seriously needs a remaster and expanded version!
Partied in the 90's to all the most delicious house music, drum n bass, jungle, ragga, Aotearoa Roots, gangsta rap - all in Wellington, NZ - clubs like Willys Wine Bar, La Luna, Tatou, Sandwiches, Zebos, The Globe, all the Shed's on the wharf - daaaam i was lucky!!!!! This takes me right back there to those ecstasy fuelled nights and days and nights and days and nights!!!!!!!
I was born in the 90's, but I totally wish I could've been born in the late 70's so I could experience the NY house scene and 90's golden era hip hop, love it
Isn't it awesome how you can hear a song and then remember exactly where you were and what you were doing!!?? For me, this is one of those. 1988/1989. I was 18 year's old and serving in the USAF in England!! The home of great Dance/Electronic/House/Techno Music. OMG those were the day's!! 🔊🕺🔊💃🔊 I play this song regularly today when I want to be transported back in time to a better world. 🙏🏻💓✌🏼💛✌🏼💙
What a beautiful era life is brutal now
Life is what you make of it ... but I get you...
Totally agree. I need this music and good energy right about now.

bruv shut up. oldhead
everything happens again, theres nothng new under the sun it'll just be after our lifetimes,
I am not kidding. When I heard this after 25+ years I started tearing up. Where did music like this go? I miss the House Nation days.
Agreed. This is one of those song that gets me in so many feels!
evolve or get left in the dust that's where it went
I completely agree.
I wouldn’t call the music industry today an evaluation….🧐
WE must educate and pass it on! Point blank!
I'm a 90s baby, but it's beautiful to see the comments of people of older generations reminiscing about their club days to these beautiful tunes. I hope to one day experience a party w/out phones and just genuine human connection. House music has the power to do it. House music for life. 😍😍
Those parties are out there! All it takes is the collective will of enough people who have a love for music and human connection, and bam, it's there.
If you live in the UK Field Maneuvers does that
Detroit has some excellent clubs playing more modern techno, but have that old warehouse vibe to them. Great atmosphere.
Word !!!!
house is good life
I am 55 years old and this is it! I put it on when I need a lift. Thank you Inner City and those who did this mix. FABULOUS!

@emmy lite ♥️♥️,
Detroit like Chicago
Best time you could think of . Disco and Funk kind of merged into this .
This song captures a much-cherished era. Still resonates in the best of ways.
Great song ! Great Beat !! This song came out in 1988 .🙂👍 Good life definitely back in 1988. Lol
I use to hit the dance floor at the Mannheim, Germany club in an industrial precinct back in the 90s. Those were the daze 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
Still on my decks..❤
Man those late 80's early 90's NYC raves must've been amazing.
After all these decades in 2023 this still fills me with euphoria.

They sure did. Akin.
Oh honey I hear you, this and Big Fun

One of the greatest club/house signs ever recorded.
You got that right.
It's not about when you were born, it's about GREAT music, PERIOD. Feel those awesome chords and that warm bassline.
WOW best version of this classic
The Inner City stuff was ahead of its time
Mi ricorda una soundtrack di STREET OF RAGE per sega mega drive😂
Very special black diamond. Lik wood
These really were the days... Lots of good memories
This song also reminds me of the Sega video game Streets of Rage lol
Moon beach was my favourite
CJ Mackintosh always one of the BEST HOUSE DJs and Producers of ALL TIMES ! Perfect Mix !
He did so many quality mixes, house and hip hop 👌
~ 1969, 1979, 1989, 1999 = ALL THE GOOD fun dancing days = hooray and thanK you Inner City for your contribution!! Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
It was hot on the European circuit when I was stationed over there. Loved it!
All these years later, and it's still better than half the stuff on the radio in 2020. I do aerobics to this. 💃💪💃💪💃❤😘
I am 55 years old, and I workout to this music myself too.😁
Smooth as butter. I love to hangout at south beach MIA listening to this jam on a glorious day sun shining and smoking a cuban cigar
