This was one of a few anthems that lifted up my spirit and left a great amount of joy in me after dancing my ass off back in the day when DANCE music rocked the clubs...I still listen and enjoy it so much... Thank you KIM for your amazing music and for bringing these songs to all kind of people both gay and straight who love such classics...RIP KIM ENGLISH
My first and only time at Backstreet Atlanta was in 1981. I lived in Augusta and went off to college that year but before leaving Augusta for college some friends and I drove to Atlanta to party all night. 😂
Unspeakable Joy is part of the fabric of my life. THIS SONG helped guide me on my path of self discovery as I broke free from the chains of my childhood. THIS SONG played as I learned how to be a strong-minded and strong-willed gay man. THIS SONG was sung by an angel that showered love on a generation of people with a very specific message. I owe Kim English a debt that I can never repay. May she find every passed loved one she ever knew (and all The Ancestors that have been anxious to meet her) awaiting her arrival at Heaven. #WellDoneKim
Ah. I recall being at Avalon in Boston and the dance floor exploded at the break that builds after the 6 minute mark and drops at 6:22ish. I will always remember that as the dance floor was NUTS, the lights were spot on, and the air was filled with thousands of tiny bubbles. Fantastic moment!
+Steve Woodman I bet that was awesome. I always heard about Avalon, and what a great club that was. Is it still open? Another question. This track was typically a 'circuit track'. Did Avalon host a 'gay night'? Or was it played on an 'everybody' night. I'm hoping for the latter, b/c i love it when tracks that are typically played in gay clubs, crossover to ALL clubs. Just wondering! Thanks.
+jab3344 I'm not sure if it's still open as I've since moved away from Boston. It was a Thursday night which was indeed Avalon's gay night. I actually didn't go to Avalon all that often as there were other clubs I preferred like The Machine, Buzz, and Axis. Avalon was also very pricey
IN MY CLUBBING DAYS, I DANCED MY ASS OFF TO THIS SONG!!!!! GLOWSTICKS IN HAND!!!!!!!!! FUCKIN AWESOME!!! THE GREATEST THING ABOUT THE BIG ROOM CLUBS??? THEY PLAYED THEM HARD AND LOOOONG!!!!! THIS TRACK IS 11 MINUTES OF JOY!!!!!!!!! I WAS SO IN THE ZONE WHEN THIS SONG CAME ON WITH MY GLOWSTICKS!!!!! SOOOOO MANY MEMORIES!!!!
Omg literally just found this song from watching AJ and The Queen...I'm blasting this OMW to work tomorrow. Dope ass song!!!!! RIP Queen. Thanks for helping me find a new favorite in 2020. Love ya message!!!!!
Lady Kim is in a better place now. I know she can see me typing this, and I just want her to know that I loved her when I was a preteen first hearing this on the radio in the 1990s, I love her now, and I will join her on the other side hoping that this is what I hear when I triumphantly cross over.
🧡💛💚💙💜❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Happy Healthy *PRIDE* 2022 BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE OF THE WORLD. Thank you Queen KIM ENGLISH for your gift of sweet sickening inspiration. UNSPEAKABLE LOVE, Respect and Joy. When I wake up in the morning gets me outta bed Keeps me runnin' skippin' jumpin' like a little kid You know sometimes I can hardly keep it inside It overtakes me, overwhelms me, and I'm mortified Did not get it from any woman or man And it's okay if they don't always understand It's very easy to get caught in circles dance It's even easier to break out in a dance Joy! Unspeakable joy! 'Cause they did not hear, and they can not take it away! Joy! Unspeakable joy! In my heart and I can't let them steer my Joy! Unspeakable joy! 'Cause they did not hear, and they can not take it away! Joy! Unspeakable joy! 'Cause they did not hear, and they can not take it away! People ask my why this supernatural high Seeing only sun when there's a cloudy sky I know the trouble tries to surround me But I've been given something greater deep inside of me I did not get it from any woman or man And it's okay if they don't always understand It's very easy to get caught in circles dance It's even easier to break out in a dance Joy!(x3) Joy! Unspeakable joy! 'Cause they did not hear, and they can not take it away! Joy! Unspeakable joy! In my heart and I can't let them steer my Joy! (x11) Joy! Unspeakable joy! 'Cause they did not hear, and they can not take it away! Joy! Unspeakable joy! In my heart and I can't let them steer my Joy! Unspeakable joy! 'Cause they did not hear, and they can not take it away! Joy! Unspeakable joy! 'Cause they did not hear, and they can not take it away! When I'm facing opposition of that attitudes We come see notions, dispositions are completely rude When darkness thinks that it's outdone me, I must remember the greater love's inside me I did not get it from any woman or man And it's okay if they don't always understand It's very easy to get caught in circles da Rest in heavenly peace Queen Kim English amen.
RIP Kim English. This song game me life everytime I heard it, and still does now! I saw you perform it a few times and you gave it your all, kicked your pumps off and everything! Thank you for the memories!
The sequel from Razor & Guido to their iconic remix of Vernessa Mitchell's "This "Joy" and both of these amazing artists are praising the Good Lord in the lyrics. The Joy they both refer to is the Joy of the Lord. My kind of House Music!!!
I first heard this masterpiece, on club mtv or beach mtv, when mtv was good and still played music videos. I found this hit on a compalation CD, in the early 2000's.
When I wake up in the morning, gets me outta bed; Keeps me runnin', skippin', jumpin', like a little kid.

The musical magic will eventually return. Even Barry Harris knew there would be a dry spell. He is now back at it. Still not near Dive in the Pool stuff but decent.
