Today's trancey edm bullshit will never ever be as good as this classic anthem and all that other stuff from the late 80s and 90s. I soooo glad I was 18 in 1988 and got in at the right moment to enjoy all that good stuff to the fullest. Great music, great parties and the best pills!!! I would jump into a time-machine in a heartbeat if I had one and do it all over again again and again!!!
to anyone worried about younger generations experiencing this amazin house/dance music, im 19 so this was coming out whilst i was born ... if only my teenage years were when this music was around!!!
I have total respect for the 1980's, the music, the shows, the movies, and the awesome looking clothes is something that should definitely be brought back!! Today's music cant even compare to the awesome 80's and 90's!! Most of today's music is forgetable after the first 2 weeks. Where as the 80's and 90's will live on forever!!!! 80's live forever!!! :)
To me the 80s were the greatest in terms of music.. Movies... Sitcoms... Fashion.. Music videos... Cartoons .. Toys.. Etc... Then when the 80s ended we all got to enjoy the 90z as well .. The NBA was the most exciting in the 90z ... For 20 years we were all so lucky
this song was released shortly before Christmas in 88, it is one of the defining songs of my high school years. I remember it being a huge hit in all the clubs we went to, and recording mixes of the song on tape to play on our walkmans...
I also was a HS junior in 88. This song will alway remind of hangig with a buddy that has since passed away. We lived in NYC and had caught the vibe house music bug when a friend took us to the club Garage. We went a year or two before it closed, and continued to go until it closed. After that was club Tunnel house and many more. You could completely loose your self an inhibitions in that scene. The women were gourgeos, and it made me chill with the whole gay scene and see they were people like us. We all would party the nights away, those were good days. This song still makes me want to dance.
I first heard this jam when I was 14 yrs (1989) at a back yard, first party I had ever gone to on my own and I was blown with the entire scene, Los Angeles
thinking about the good life, the best days of my life. Every friday & saturdayfor about 4 years, me & mum would take a walk to the chippy, come back and dance the night away to heart fm when they played the club classics like this. i miss those days. just glad i can replay the song to remind me :)
Immediately I'm taken back to the late 80s..1989 to be exact when I was stationed at Naval Station Treasure Island, in the middle of San Francisco Bay..used to go into the city(San Francisco) and this song was always being played in every nightclub venue that I came across. So nostalgic for that time in my life.
The early techno sound still brings me chills,,it take me back to my early rave days,, and how me and my friends would stay out all night till the break of day,,,i would get in so much trouble,,,but it was worth it,,,, miss you guys,,,love you,,
An unforgettable groove and positive message from a beautiful woman that commands your attention from her strength,, talent and attitude, not her bikini. Played this 1,000 times. Don't regret a one. : )
I love how simple this video is and it lets you interpret what the good life really could be. Dancing? Absolutely. Such a great time warp to my childhood.
Inner City - one of the best old skool groups there ever was, and this was the cream of the crop from their repetoire. Just great memories, and the dance floors were full listening to all this stuff!
GOOD LIFE! That were the 80's in just two words, because the good life peaked in that decade, and after that it went all down into the shit we live in today.
Yep, and I was a House DJ at that time here in Miami. I was spinning this track in 1988 when it was released. Got it as a promo through the record pool I was a member of.
I´m sorry to say that..but you are ABSOLUTELY right, bro´. Andy from Germany. ps: the 80´s ruled.The best time(s) of my life. And there was "enough" for everyone.
Makes me a little sad for days gone by this track. Massive tune back in the day when I spent nights in London without a fucking care in the world. What time was it? 3am? 4am, 5am.....Who fucking cared!!
I love this song so much it's hard to put into words (although this isn't my favourite version). I've seen DJs drop different versions of this track all over the world, and with no exaggeration, crowds everywhere ALWAYS lose their sh*t.
