A fine set of early-'80s soul, ex-Sweet Thunder vocalist Booker Newberry III's solo debut contains many of the standard synthesized dance effects one would expect, but also delivers plentiful doses of strong melody and gritty vocals. The summery title track, despite somewhat odd lyrics, is a real pleaser with Bobby Eli's contagious production and Newberry's accessible delivery, while the Nick Martinelli-headed "I Get Romantic" is on par with efforts by the likes of Shalamar and Loose Ends. The singer's husky tenor often brings to mind Teddy Pendergrass, but with a bit of a smoother edge. It's unfortunate that he didn't have the backing that contemporary Luther Vandross did, as he has just as much of a unique charisma that would have served R&B radio well. With only a single release stateside, the album remained a Europe-only release until Hot Productions' 1994 CD issue. ~ Justin M. Kantor, Rovi
Ooh what id give to go back to the 80s blessed to have been part of it
Love this track. One of my favourite songs that shaped the 80’s for me.. 25/01/2024
So happy that I lived through the 1980s, the music of that decade was the best ever!
i was born in 1983 best era for music
Right on
Along with the 70s.
@@deanrussell1234 From about 76 to 89 was the greatest period music wise ' disco' punk' new wave ' new romantics ' rock ' heavy metal ' even early house ' or old school rap wasn't so bad.
Best music
Booker Newberry and Booker Newberry II are proud.
Just heard this brother passed away. My Condolences to his family. He was talented.
Same here...Still in shock
What happened to him?
@@denisespencer6550, he died!
Yes he did I used to take care of him he was thee sweetest I wasn’t taking care of him when he passed but he was in the nursing home for about four years before he passed God rest his soul I made sure he knew he was my favor every time I seen him and I would play his music for him 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Do you mean Booker Newberry III that passed away? 😮😮😮
80s RnB is untouchable. Nothing compares to this style and feel of music, you just want to start moving it's absolutely fantastic 👌 😊
One of the greatest songs I've ever heard. Utterly irresistible from start to finish.
Do you listen to this whilst in the bacta tank?
@@BaggieTvocê chama essa música de isso, com certeza você não entende nada de música,,deve ouvir essas mela cueca por ai sofrência , e fank ,tem tem nenhum bom gosto musical.,vai ver a tradução dessa música depois você fala alguma coisa.
im today old only discovering this gem of a jam!!
he was born just 20 miles from my house ❤️🩹
Damn...!!!!! I have been looking for this tune for years.... and now I found it!!! It brings me back some great memories from 1983.
Same here..The synths are a killer.
What an Awesome timeless classic.
Bring back the Eighties
Hehe, “timeless.” Like as if thousands of years could pass and you’d still feel like it released 10 seconds ago
One of the brilliant R&B oldschool funk of the early's 80. Wondering why this style was never really considered by the professional peers
I played this as new release at a Northern soul event. It packed the floor and emptied the bar.
Love Town is still a classic back in the spring of 1983.
Quality
So lucky to have been a teenager during the 80’s, how I yearn for those simpler happier times!
One of funk best tracks ever
worked as personal security for the Capital Radio PA's (personal appearances) of the days soul stars including alexander o'neal,shalamar,will downing and level 42 dotted at venues all around London,and this fella was a real gent.
Such great days when everyone was there for the vibe,no fighting no bad shit,just great dancing,great music.
Those were the days - must've been great times for you. Precious memories ...
I remember hearing it on the radio for the first time, it made me feel so Happy 😊 then hearing it in a disco, dancing with people who's faces were filled with joy and happiness was just the best feeling ever !!!!! ❤️ Love and Peace to everyone, Colin Millar, Hitchin UK.
Those were the days Colin.Nightclubs playing disco and jazz funk classics.
Still an absolute classic
It certainly is
I was born in February of the year this song came out, now I am spinning this track(CD and vinyl) in the nightclubs.
What a great time and voice. Pity never heard more from him
Similar to the likes of George Benson ' Luther Vandros ' Al Jarreue etc.
Pure Quality! Let's bring back the Love Town! We had Sooo much better youth!🕺❤🕺
It feels like I've been listening to this song for over 2000 years, but it's only been 10 seconds!
same, i love how the instruments are played, their melodies merge together so well!
this is a banging dance old skool classic from those really heady brilliant early 80s days which i was 17 years old can someone whizz me back so i can be that 17 year old again dancing to this sublime little gem
What a fantastic track, one of the best of the era
My adolescence. Thank God for this song!

Diesen Song fand ich schon in den 80er Jahren absolut super. Schade das man ihn heute in keiner Oldi Liste mehr findet.
Pure excellence we haven't had for 30 plus years

Absolutely brilliant bring this kind of music back .
1983 - good times! I was 18 and immortal. Having fun every day. Yeah! :->)

Like he’s singing in a wind tunnel ( no wind ) but it’s fantasy voice and travelling to the extreme .. the sound is bouncing off the curvature .. just great

Reeewind !!! 17 years old again, white boy shaking it down the Charing cross road, now in my forties dancing in my kitchen in Cyprus. One love tunes like these should be used as therapy for any hateful, racist dickheads out there. ONE WORLD, ONE PEOPLE, ONE LOVE !!!!
