RIP Cavin Yarbrough. This track had one of the best builds ever. Right up there with Just Be Good To Me and Donna Summer version of State of Independence. What an era that was for slow burners. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CA3U... - ThreadSky

The 12" of that was so good. Think they invented that repeating, loping groove before Jam & Lewis

Don't want to start any faction wars here but that whole period of chart funk & soul, Gap Band, Whispers, Shalamar, Odyssey etc etc was what took me away from the post punk meandering of indie music. Green Gartside had the right idea.

*butts in* I was in a similar post punk meander, and my 2nd year at college landed me in a shared house with some girls who introduced me to old school funk, go-go, Luther Vandross etc. Absolute eye opener. Changed my tiny proto-goth LIFE

I watched that old 80s Arena doc on Go-Go the other night. "Remember Go-Go?" we were all saying 10 years later. Who knew?

I have just surreptitiously slid Still Smokin’ onto my commute playlist

The beat is bad

I was basically the same, still liked the Postcard groups but the rest was pretty dreary. "It's A Love Thing" was one of the first 12" I bought and everyone I knew had the "Friends" album
