AND 10 MIN LONG, GIVE EXCELLENCE CREDIT TO WHERE ITS DUE WHOEVER DID THIS, U WORKED THIE F**K OUTTTA THIS!! LOL!!
This song brings me happy memories when life was fun and full of love and adventure. Makes me want to get up and dance like in my carefree days! How I miss those days. If there any young ones listening to this, be responsible but enjoy life to the fullest or life will past you up to fast. When we get old and have ill health all we will have are our memories left. Thanks "D" Train for the good times.
I was a running back in high school in 83’ and thereafter at a division 1 school. Played this before each game on Walkman. Broke the state record for rushing, All-American in College. It was D-Train that turned up the temperature.
Virginia Grandy In the late 90s we came from germany to spain to djing same of this kind of stuff and the did not liked it.Mixed with real house?techno etc the did NOT liked it.So i gived up music.
+Neptun Posidon You should NOT have given up on music simply because they didn't like it. Music is universal, & there are millions of people all over the world who would have appreciated it. If that was something that you really enjoyed doing, then you continue to do it, & find other people who will love just as much as you do. My question to you is did you enjoy the music?
I love this song!! 80s gal here!! Now, I am battling a health condition, and this song makes me forget about the pain!! I just wanna dance with a good man, a dance partner in life forever! Lord have mercy on me!! Send him soon!! One Love!! xoxo :)
THIS WAS & STILL IS ONE OF THE BEST PARTY SONGS EVER WRITTEN, SUNG & PERFORMED. A MONSTER IN THE '80'S AND TO THIS VERY DAY IS A MONSTER. THIS RECORD GOES RIGHT THROUGH YOUR BODY, MIND AND SOUL! FORGIVE ME FOR NOT KNOWING BECAUSE I HAVEN'T ATTENDED C.C.C. IN BROOKLYN SINCE I MOVED TO QUEENS BUT ONE OF THE MEMBER OF D TRAIN IS THE ORCHESTRA LEADER AT THE CHURCH.
This Song and the ARTIST performing it is PURE GENIUS PERSONIFIED. I Love how it starts off like a Ballad that's Simply BEAUTIFUL then turns into something you can DANCE to. If you can't dance to this Song Something's wrong 🎤🎧🎙🎼🎹🤗🤗🤗
Mr. Williams attended Erasmus HS in Brooklyn and was a defensive tackle on the football team. He got the name "D Train" because the captain of the team said, "When he hits you, it's like getting hit by a train". The name stuck and the rest is history.
Love this story I just read about it this summer since my first boyfriend passed away and we loved d-train so I’ve been listening straight for like 6 weeks. It makes sense he was a football player, the rhythm, his style matches the game.
I bought this album as a kid, I am 47 now and this track means more to me now than I ever could imagine!, this makes me feel warm inside....thanks for upload!
Another WKTU Classic a "Jammy" for all the Skaters, Roxy, Skating Palace, Stars, and too many to mention in the NYC from back in the day & both parks Central & Washington Square ....sweat pants, Chams de Baron shirts, jumpin' dancin' movin' & groovin' to this one slammin' jam...."Mmmm she looks good "hey you wanna skate just hold y hand a we'll go faster" ....Ahhhhh yeaaaa...35 years have gone by and this song still Kix...Pace 2 ya who remember
My cousin from Brooklyn New York came to visit us in Chicago we had a block party he turn it out with this song we had people coming from all over to the party good times miss those days!!!
Music at its Best! So glad I was born in a time to hear & appreciate real music like this. Sad it is a time that will never come back. All we could do is pass it on & hope future generations keep it alive...
When I used to go to disco clubs they played this song and I would get up and dance to this wearing my bell bottom pants and my platform shoes and today 2020 still listen to this and I'm 65 years old
I used to freak out over this song in the early 1980's at Catacombs in Philadelphia. Fast forward to 1998 when Frankie Knuckles was spinning at Groove Jet in South Beach. At the height of the evening when I thought the energy could not get any higher, he mixed in a 20 minute set of this song. The crowd, old/young/gay/straight/black/Latino/white and everything in between went crazy. I get chills just thinking about it now.
damn white boy, you had it going on. I also went crazy at the Disco Circus on 5th Avenue and 15th street in Manhattan when the dj put this song on. i love it when other people can appreciate our music. That club must have been poppin. Just like the Paradise Garage also when they rocked KEEP ON. Man, people would RUN over each other when they heard this song to get their space on the dance floor. ah the memories. You got some "soul" brother in you my brother. My blood pressure always goes up when I hear this song cause my body is ready to move. OMG
Wow....I'm feeling my 64 years lol. I was experiencing this jam in the clubs in the '80s. Brings back great memories and still gets me on my feet to this day!
Watching the grown-ups dance and party to this more than once a night is a testament to how great this song is. As someone said, it expresses dance, party, and fun! One of my all-time favorites to grow up to. This masterful remix just makes it even better!
An old DJ here, a classic floor filler, always remeber climbing down to dance with the punters, and nearly forgetting I was the DJ, great, great times.......still makes me tingle, great mix fella!!!!
This CLASSIC UNDERGROUND NYC PRODUCTION was part of the NYC underground scene that spawned house music, and came out in 1981 not 82. By 82 Keep On came out and was just as big in NYC.

I heard a freestyle on the radio live remix of this. The DJ in San Mateo, San Fran, and SACTO could mix, scratch, and rap, to "Mary Had a Little Lamb!" And make it dancable, creative, and sound like a new song. When people threw house parties, they moved their reciever and speakers and tuned to one of the above mentioned stations. I really miss the West Coast music.
Monumental !!!!Extraordinaire JAMES D TRAIN🏆🏆🏆🤩🤩🤩😍😍J’ai découvert cette pépite sur les dancefloor en 1983 !!!Quelle bombe !!! Quelle merveilleuse époque et quels vrais artistes !!!Merci à D train pour tous ces joyaux 💎 qu’il laisse au patrimoine de la musique !!!🙏🙏🙏
I must admit I've been listening to this song my whole life ( as I was born in' 84) And I have NEVER heard that intro. I love it, it gives more weight to the words.
Back in the day, this was jam to listen too. Pure fun when this was played by the D.J. They would crank the "MEGA BASS" to this and we all went to heaven. Classic that I hope will continue to touch "NEWER GENERATIONS" !!
OK, how do I sum up this track. Well, if you only ever wrote one tune and had a hit like this, you'd still be up there with Albert Einstein, Leonardo de Vinci, Nicolas Tesla. Pure genius. This song will never ever get old. An absolute dance floor burner. Genius!
Remember funky rollerskating to this song in its entirety in the 80's..This coming from a Canadian-Asian gent (Buffalo via Toronto ie.United Skates of America rink) 57 yrs young & still have skates ! Thanks to You Tube in keeping the memories fresh !!!
The perfect song for that time for me. When I heard the very first time, and of course I the extended version. I guessing, I must have played it 10 times. My crew back then was like gangsta piece, but dam dog your gonna play out by the end of week. I remember saying like fuc what cha heard, this mix is bananas! I'm 55 years old and to this very day i act a fool when I hear this Funky, Funky, jam! You feel me! I know you do.
AS AN UNDISCOVERED TOP SINGER AND DJ THIS IS CLASS IM APROACHING THE BIG 60 I CAME THROUGH THE 80S I CANT BELIEVE HOW IVE ONLY JUST DISCOVERED THIS YES IM STUCK IN THE PAST BUT THATS WHERE THE TUNES ARE AT THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING BOUT...

Frankie Crocker and WBLS and the sister station WLBS in Detroit where I am from very seriously tore up the radio waves in the late 70s and all of the 80s and they posessed a symbiotic relationship with the music and kept the beat strong during the day and cranked it up at night. Great music from talented people.
asamlang5 if you know the power of that music in my life and the landscape of my future in the Navy and the impact on it you would get it. WE as a people were the driving force in music. Not today. That ship has sailed.
Never knew there was a WLBS if it was affiliated with BLS then the music played was probably a whole lot better than what I heard in Detroit radio when I visited in the mid 80s.
This is CLASSIC WBLS radio station everyday in New York City back in the day!!!! #Frankie Crocker #Roxy Roller rink #Empire Roller rink NYC # Central Park Sunday Skate !!!!!
Central Park (Next to Sheep's Meadow) was the spot for skating and getting nice. Some of those cats are still out there skating. They are in their 60's now.
Another CLASSIC NYC production...after hours at the Paradise Garage, then early afternoon leave there for nearby Washington Square in Greenwich Village for Sunday afternoon parties under a cloud of ganja and unreal surround sound from by multiple boxes tuned to the same WBLS, KISS FM & KTU supermixes. Central Park outdoor skating-search youtube using "central park skaters after party" HOO!
This was a masterpiece. The opening with gospel vocals a Capella. OMG I could listen to everyday. Then you dropped the song and boom out the park from buildup to ending. You my friend are a Grand Master.
This was sooo big in miami back in the 80s that one could practically expect to hear this song (and Egyptian Lover"s "Egypt Egypt") exploding out of Jamaican-style walls of speakers with local DJ crews battling each other with indomitable tweeters and throbbing subwoofers at parks, cookouts, and the legendary Goombay weekend Bahamian festival in the West Grove on Douglas Ave. Thank you Disco🐯
This track brings it back to my NYC Days. Heard it on the radio (WBLS, 98.7 KISS FM, WKTU Disco 92). Bentley's (NYC) used to rock this at Peak Time. The DJ would hit Weeks & Co "Rock The World" and at the break portion would mix "You're The One For Me." It was the Extended Version with the intro similar to the intro at 7:23. I had that version back in the day. However I can't find it now. The crowd would go nuts and the sound system would be cranked upstairs and downstairs. You were looking frantically for someone to dance with. That's where I transitioned from being a breakbeat DJ to Disco, Funk and R&B. Then later to House. Musically, these were the best years in NYC! This track is tight along with your other remixes! I still spin because the art and joy of moving the crowd never gets old. Though I have a couple of versions of this track, this remix has to go in my arsenal. Sorry for the lengthy post, but I had to express myself. THANKS DJ DISCOCATV2
Growing up in the late 70s and early 80s UK… going to school and facing the racism on the streets… these awesome Soulful tunes gave me hope and joy.. and then I grew and Bussem up😂
Wow. this brings back memories. One in particular. I'd bought a brand new 1981 Chrysler LeBaron (the last year they were rear wheel drive. The following year it became the New Yorker Fifth Avenue} I had this song on a cassette and it was the first song played on the $350 optional stereo that I got with the car.
I remember going on a cruise around the Hudson for WBLS' Shayla's Birthday, "D" Train was doing this song. Then Cece Peniston came on. We did so much stompin on the boat, that I thought were going to go down like the Titanic. That was one of the best boat rides I've ever been on. A very grown up affair.
OMG !! NEVER MIND THIS WAS A BOMB SONG, AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO WILL COMMENT ON THE SPECIAL EXTENDED PARTS ESPECIALLY AT THE END?? COME ON PEOPLE GIVE IT UP, THIS SPECIAL VERSION WAS PROBABLY AVAILABLE TO DJS BACK IN THE DAY AND IVE HEAR AT LEAST 4 VERSIONS OF THIS BUT NOT LIKE THIS!!!

I was seventeen heading the clubs in L.A hering this song was awesome I could dance free style like there was no tomorrow.
I AGREE💯
FABULOUS!!!! I SO wish I could bring back 1981 and music like this. I had my parents, family and I had sanity
Ditto my friend. The happiest times of my life was 1979 to 1981. I am an old soul, in a new world. Just can't get use to it.
Yes indeed, so many have crossed over, we still here, the 80s was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 RIP to all have lost have loved ones 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
My wish too!!
@@bobbybogs6864 Such words I can relate too.. good old days and music is the core of my heart!
D Train was underrated, this dude's voice was powerful and soulful and he was an exceptional performer
James Earl Tutt His Voice is very powerful ! This was our jam in the military in Germany and at Fort Sam in San Antonio!
I agree!!
James Williams ... is the geezer singing on this fab tuneage!!
A terrific voice 4Sure!
I agree! I Love His Voice. I Seen Him In New Jersey In The Club Getting Down. He's The Man😘❤
This song brings me happy memories when life was fun and full of love and adventure. Makes me want to get up and dance like in my carefree days! How I miss those days. If there any young ones listening to this, be responsible but enjoy life to the fullest or life will past you up to fast. When we get old and have ill health all we will have are our memories left. Thanks "D" Train for the good times.
So true keep rocking.....80's
👍👍👍👍
At 74, I still try to dance to this. Guess I'll just move my feet and upper body while in this recliner 😅
That’s where I’m at now… never appreciated at the time, how I could move…ahh those days… DTrain ❤
I was a running back in high school in 83’ and thereafter at a division 1 school. Played this before each game on Walkman. Broke the state record for rushing, All-American in College. It was D-Train that turned up the temperature.
DTrain was a football player too in Brooklyn!!!!
Good mix DJ cat
Awesome !!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Keep the AA mindset forever.
Peace
Venture
This groove sounds just as good as when I first heard it on the radio in September 1981.
This is the ultimate jam of the Early 80's
If this song doesn't make you dance, then something is wrong with you. I love it
+Virginia Grandy Well in spain are a lot of things wrong.The dont dance to this.
+Neptun Posidon Have they ever heard it?
Virginia Grandy In the late 90s we came from germany to spain to djing same of this kind of stuff and the did not liked it.Mixed with real house?techno etc the did NOT liked it.So i gived up music.

One of the greatest songs ever. It's like 6 different perfect tracks blended in to one.
I love this song!! 80s gal here!! Now, I am battling a health condition, and this song makes me forget about the pain!! I just wanna dance with a good man, a dance partner in life forever! Lord have mercy on me!! Send him soon!! One Love!! xoxo :)

@ I hope and pray we will both heal soon. Thank you for reaching out with kindness 🙏💜💜
This is so powerful and magic that it started a party in my head.
THIS WAS & STILL IS ONE OF THE BEST PARTY SONGS EVER WRITTEN, SUNG & PERFORMED. A MONSTER IN THE '80'S AND TO THIS VERY DAY IS A MONSTER. THIS RECORD GOES RIGHT THROUGH YOUR BODY, MIND AND SOUL! FORGIVE ME FOR NOT KNOWING BECAUSE I HAVEN'T ATTENDED C.C.C. IN BROOKLYN SINCE I MOVED TO QUEENS BUT ONE OF THE MEMBER OF D TRAIN IS THE ORCHESTRA LEADER AT THE CHURCH.
This Song and the ARTIST performing it is PURE GENIUS PERSONIFIED. I Love how it starts off like a Ballad that's Simply BEAUTIFUL then turns into something you can DANCE to. If you can't dance to this Song Something's wrong 🎤🎧🎙🎼🎹🤗🤗🤗
So true 👍

I was a new grad nurse serving in the U.S. Army! Good days in 1979
We danced l night long at Fort Sam in San. Antonio💜
That's what music is supposed to do...bring people together! :)

This is my Jam. Am 40+ but i remember hearing this on Top of the Pops when i was 3 years old and ive been hooked on Disco Funk since then.
Wow....I'm feeling my 64 years lol. I was experiencing this jam in the clubs in the '80s. Brings back great memories and still gets me on my feet to this day!
That intro... TAKE 'EM TO CHURCH D-Train!!!! Damn..... They don't give it out no more like this.
I WANT TO COME BACK TO THE 80-90,,, what a music...... Soooo Good. Thanks musicians. We love you, just for bring this to us..
Watching the grown-ups dance and party to this more than once a night is a testament to how great this song is. As someone said, it expresses dance, party, and fun! One of my all-time favorites to grow up to. This masterful remix just makes it even better!
2020, Dtrain, STILL Rocking,30 yrs later. Now thatz F***** Great Music.!🎵🎼🎤👍🎶

Bronx*
Actually the DTrain ran through the Bronx then Manhattan then Brooklyn not queens.
RAN? You mean like it doesn't anymore?
James "D Train" Williams got the nickname "D Train" from his football captain at Erasmus HS because he said, "When Williams hits you, it's like getting hit by a train". The name stuck.
Prelude Records had the jams baby! This joint and remix one of their very best. Top tier boogie!
incredible this LP, I still want to mix it in my parties, a percussive sound and so funky to death the funk reference for me
I heard a freestyle on the radio live remix of this. The DJ in San Mateo, San Fran, and SACTO could mix, scratch, and rap, to "Mary Had a Little Lamb!" And make it dancable, creative, and sound like a new song. When people threw house parties, they moved their reciever and speakers and tuned to one of the above mentioned stations. I really miss the West Coast music.
Flashback to some VERY sweaty nights long ago. Thank you for triggering nothing but good thoughts!
Monumental !!!!Extraordinaire JAMES D TRAIN🏆🏆🏆🤩🤩🤩😍😍J’ai découvert cette pépite sur les dancefloor en 1983 !!!Quelle bombe !!! Quelle merveilleuse époque et quels vrais artistes !!!Merci à D train pour tous ces joyaux 💎 qu’il laisse au patrimoine de la musique !!!🙏🙏🙏

Prelude, the COOLEST record label ever!
being from Chicago I will always remember the rink on 87th skating to this song. I loved this song then and I love it now…..real talk
Still listening in 2024! who else ! - absolutely purrfection ... went to NYC once to take the D train in his honor!
Well alright 😊 Greetings from New York City 🗽
Right here baby! Listen this and doing my dialysis
I must admit I've been listening to this song my whole life ( as I was born in' 84) And I have NEVER heard that intro. I love it, it gives more weight to the words.
True! The intro is sweet!!!
Probably one of the best Dance songs of all time
Never get fed up listening to this classic!!!! what a bassline, Cats Whiskers in Streatham back in the day
Back in the day, this was jam to listen too. Pure fun when this was played by the D.J. They would crank the "MEGA BASS" to this and we all went to heaven. Classic that I hope will continue to touch "NEWER GENERATIONS" !!
OK, how do I sum up this track. Well, if you only ever wrote one tune and had a hit like this, you'd still be up there with Albert Einstein, Leonardo de Vinci, Nicolas Tesla. Pure genius. This song will never ever get old. An absolute dance floor burner. Genius!
Remember funky rollerskating to this song in its entirety in the 80's..This coming from a Canadian-Asian gent (Buffalo via Toronto ie.United Skates of America rink) 57 yrs young & still have skates ! Thanks to You Tube in keeping the memories fresh !!!
The perfect song for that time for me. When I heard the very first time, and of course I the extended version. I guessing, I must have played it 10 times. My crew back then was like gangsta piece, but dam dog your gonna play out by the end of week. I remember saying like fuc what cha heard, this mix is bananas! I'm 55 years old and to this very day i act a fool when I hear this Funky, Funky, jam! You feel me! I know you do.
One of my favorite '80's hits...remixed very well!!! Thank you Disco Cat for this piece of aural heaven!!!!
AS AN UNDISCOVERED TOP SINGER AND DJ THIS IS CLASS IM APROACHING THE BIG 60 I CAME THROUGH THE 80S I CANT BELIEVE HOW IVE ONLY JUST DISCOVERED THIS YES IM STUCK IN THE PAST BUT THATS WHERE THE TUNES ARE AT THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING BOUT...
This was a great tune at all the clubs in LONDON!!!!"
The good old days
Oh werent they! At least we lived them.. Happy Christmas to you
*D Train - You're The One For Me (1981) Lyrics: October 17, 2021*
*With the love I have inside of me*
*We can live through all eternity*
*And we'll never touch the ground*
*We'll take a chance to ride upon a star*
*To a place that's far away*
*The light of love will shine on us*
*Forever and a day.*
*Busting up on a cloud, shout out loud*
*You're the one for me*
*With your love by my side*
*The world will be mine*
*You're the one for me*
*With this true love I found*
*Picks my feet up off the ground to fly away*
*With this true love my dear*
*Takes away my every fear, don't go away*
*You just don't know what you did to me*
*But I'm not the same (I'm not the same)*
*Since you gave me love*
*That's sheltered from the rain*
*You just don't know how you make me feel*
*Your sweet love girl, is so unreal*
*I've got love, love desire*
*From your lovin' my soul's on fire*
*I'll stand up on a cloud, shout out loud*
*You're the one for me*
*With your love by my side*
*The world will be mine*
*You're the one for me*
*I'm ridin' on a cloud*
*Got to shout it out loud, you're my all*
*Baby, hold on tight*
*For the rest of my life, don't let me fall*
*You just don't know (just don't know) what you did to me*
*But I'm not the same (I'm not the same)*
*Since you gave me love*
*That's sheltered from the rain*
*You just don't know how you make me feel*
*Your sweet love, your sweet love girl, is so unreal*
*I've got love, I've got love, love desire*
*From your love my soul's on fire*
*Busting up on a cloud, shout out loud*
*You're the one for me*
*With your love by my side*
*The world will be mine*
*You're the one for me*
*Busting up on a cloud, shout out loud*
*You're the one for me*
*With your love by my side*
*The world will be mine*
*You're the one for me*
*With the love I have inside of me*
*We can turn this world around*
*We can live through all eternity*
*And we'll never touch the ground*
We'll take a chance to ride upon a star*
*To a place that's far away*
*The light of love will shine on us*
*Forever and a day (x 4)*
*Busting up on a cloud, shout out loud*
*You're the one for me*
*With your love by my side*
*The world will be mine*
*You're the one for me*
*Busting up on a cloud, shout out loud*
*You're the one for me*
*With your love by my side*
*The world will be mine*
*You're the one for me*
*We can turn this world around*
*We can live through all eternity*
*And we'll never touch the ground*
*We'll take a chance to ride upon a star*
*To a place that's far away*
*The light of love will shine on us*
*Forever and a day*
*With the love I have inside of me**
*We can live through all eternity*
*And we'll never touch the ground*
*We'll take a chance to ride upon a star*
*To a place that's far away*
*The light of love will shine on us*
*Forever and a day...*

JUST BRILLIANT, I AM ONE OF THE CHILDREN OF THE D TRAIN BACK IN THE EARLY 80'S, WHEN MUSIC WAS MUSIC, DETROIT LOVES D TRAIN ALWAYS.
NYC WAS ROCKING TO THIS❤❤🎉🎉
Frankie Crocker and WBLS and the sister station WLBS in Detroit where I am from very seriously tore up the radio waves in the late 70s and all of the 80s and they posessed a symbiotic relationship with the music and kept the beat strong during the day and cranked it up at night. Great music from talented people.
yes that hold a special memory, a heartfelt memory....
asamlang5 if you know the power of that music in my life and the landscape of my future in the Navy and the impact on it you would get it. WE as a people were the driving force in music. Not today. That ship has sailed.
Never knew there was a WLBS if it was affiliated with BLS then the music played was probably a whole lot better than what I heard in Detroit radio when I visited in the mid 80s.
Danny Thomas reminds me of going to Northland skating rink in the 80’s
Never gets old 2023 Still playing it very loud
My brother in heaven this always reminds of you 😇
AMEN 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👼🏼👼🏼👼🏼👼🏼👼🏼👼🏼🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
A never special from DJ cat
SIMPLY ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS EVER..!
This is CLASSIC WBLS radio station everyday in New York City back in the day!!!! #Frankie Crocker #Roxy Roller rink #Empire Roller rink NYC # Central Park Sunday Skate !!!!!
Edward Brown The best looking sound!
Central Park (Next to Sheep's Meadow) was the spot for skating and getting nice. Some of those cats are still out there skating. They are in their 60's now.
+Edward Brown .....Yeeeesssss!......those were the days!
Another CLASSIC NYC production...after hours at the Paradise Garage, then early afternoon leave there for nearby Washington Square in Greenwich Village for Sunday afternoon parties under a cloud of ganja and unreal surround sound from by multiple boxes tuned to the same WBLS, KISS FM & KTU supermixes. Central Park outdoor skating-search youtube using "central park skaters after party" HOO!
im lovin this old school
This is and always be the best version
This was a masterpiece. The opening with gospel vocals a Capella. OMG I could listen to everyday. Then you dropped the song and boom out the park from buildup to ending. You my friend are a Grand Master.
This was my jam! Such an intersection between disco and the hip hop sound to come. Totally fierce (and totally urban)!
I was up in New York in 1979-80 and I loved WBLS back in the day
This was sooo big in miami back in the 80s that one could practically expect to hear this song (and Egyptian Lover"s "Egypt Egypt") exploding out of Jamaican-style walls of speakers with local DJ crews battling each other with indomitable tweeters and throbbing subwoofers at parks, cookouts, and the legendary Goombay weekend Bahamian festival in the West Grove on Douglas Ave.
Thank you Disco🐯
Badass mix! This would get any party started! Thank you.💖
A great groove for sure, keeps you dancing!!! Stan.
An absolute classic.
This track brings it back to my NYC Days. Heard it on the radio (WBLS, 98.7 KISS FM, WKTU Disco 92). Bentley's (NYC) used to rock this at Peak Time. The DJ would hit Weeks & Co "Rock The World" and at the break portion would mix "You're The One For Me." It was the Extended Version with the intro similar to the intro at 7:23. I had that version back in the day. However I can't find it now. The crowd would go nuts and the sound system would be cranked upstairs and downstairs. You were looking frantically for someone to dance with. That's where I transitioned from being a breakbeat DJ to Disco, Funk and R&B. Then later to House. Musically, these were the best years in NYC! This track is tight along with your other remixes! I still spin because the art and joy of moving the crowd never gets old. Though I have a couple of versions of this track, this remix has to go in my arsenal. Sorry for the lengthy post, but I had to express myself.
THANKS DJ DISCOCATV2
You just don't know D train. Oh yea my jam!
Growing up in the late 70s and early 80s UK… going to school and facing the racism on the streets… these awesome Soulful tunes gave me hope and joy.. and then I grew and Bussem up😂
Wow. this brings back memories. One in particular. I'd bought a brand new 1981 Chrysler LeBaron (the last year they were rear wheel drive. The following year it became the New Yorker Fifth Avenue} I had this song on a cassette and it was the first song played on the $350 optional stereo that I got with the car.
Best and number one ever 80s disco
still banging in 2020, great music never dates!
I remember going on a cruise around the Hudson for WBLS' Shayla's Birthday, "D" Train was doing this song. Then Cece Peniston came on. We did so much stompin on the boat, that I thought were going to go down like the Titanic. That was one of the best boat rides I've ever been on. A very grown up affair.
love me some D-train
your right Ralph ! The special extended parts has me bouncing in the kitchen while i fry chicken. Wow !
Such a jamming song, funky, styilish, ..Just wanna dance it!!
Memories of my childhood in the 80s. Again, techno-funk and R&B like this track played over and over on the radio. Long live old school!
COME ON MAN..........THIS WAS / IS / WILL ALWAYS BE THE JAMMMMMMMM
The tune stands the test of time
True
