copyright recordings: Sony Music Entertainment Lisa Lisa & The Cult Jam in the legendary Clivilles & Cole remix, which was a huge club anthem in Europe and the US .. released by Columbia Records in 1991
Eliza Rose has just released a fruity little version of this now, titled BOTA. I absolutely love it and do exactly as you did at any chance I catch the tune playing on the radio or at a festival 🙌🏼 I knew I’d heard the sample somewhere before, hence searching it out here and seeing your comment 👍🏻
Aye, BiG Gallery tune, probably played by Steve Luigi. The Gallery doesn't get talked about in the same way as Ark, Kaos or Orbit does. But on a good night it was the best night in West Yorks and up there with the best in the country.
I was a rave monster from the early days of 88 but this is and always was the best vibe and feeling in any club back in the early 90s. If they played this you knew you were in the right venue
We will never stop listening to this genre, although the club versions of this tune that are speeded up and have more beats per minute make it even better.
I just came from a new song that sounds like this original, legendary masterpiece and I was waiting for my favorite choruses…. This will never replace any facsimile. 🎉 Keep feeling it party people
There is two essentially two versions of this track. The original which is a bit hip hop inspired and is a pretty damn good tune. Then there is this edit which is an absolute beast of a track. Went mental to this as a youngster. Sounds slow now though compared to modern dance. The two versions sound completely different you would be hard pushed to thinj it was the same track.
YEAH MAN. GUESS EVERYONE WHO WAS LUCKY TO BE BACK IN ZIM THEN WILL NEVER FORGET THOSE DAYS - KEVIN SIFELANI, PJ, HOSEAH SINGENDE THE HITMAN, TONY DEE, THE LIST GOES ON. LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!!! damn!!!
I have to say I nearly wept when Easy D mixed this intro in. Whilst on the Dancefloor of the BYO Doncaster and suddenly feeling MDMA show it's little smiling presence to me……..back in the day
wow..that's the exact 12' inch record i had back in the day..i remember always mixing this with crystal waters..the crowd loved it..and the ultimix version of this song..
Man o man this was the tune back in the day !! still rocks - proper dance music for proper people - if only we could go back !! I remember many a dark corner in a dark club xx
omg!! Ive been searching for this song for sooooo long!! I didnt know the name just the lyrics...i've been singing it to everyone to see if they could help but my singing is so bad people thought i was in pain!!.....and then...... i just stumble on it by accident on here!!!!...... hooray!!!......def the best house tune ever......im now sofa dancing whilst family watching corrie lol
Robert Cole's early passing in 1995 left such a huge void in the dance scene. He gave all queens so much joy and passion. R.I.P. Dave, we love you forever and a day.
yeah,, early 90s, leeds was the place to be back then,before it was all modernised,and spoilt. and this tune well,,,if ya were feeling low, ya werent after this came on, one of best intros to a tune ever.
Back in the day, wow, saying that sounds like it was a long time ago, shit, it was long ago!!!!! What a tune, still works in my books. Imagine if this was dropped in today's clubs!?!?!?
+Stephen Hardie One of my all time favourite memories was Graeme Park playing this one Saturday night at the Hacienda and everyone in the crowd clapping along. Then when the lights came on at the end and everyone had to leave a few people started chanting the 'ba - da -da -dum- da -dum' bit until the whole club joined in and off went a few hundred people walking down the street together singing. I sometimes nearly well up with tears when I realise I probably won't experience another night like that again in my life, they really were halcyon days and it's totally, utterly, undeniably shit getting old. At least I was lucky enough to be just the right age, with the right group of friends and in the right place to experience everything we did between 1988-91, mostly in the north of England. If only I had the photos or video to prove hundreds of people were dancing to a few cranked up car stereos all across the car park of a service station [including the roof of a low building] on the M62 motorway between MCR and Leeds in 1989 at about 5am as dawn broke one warm summer night. The look of total bemusement on those coppers faces when they turned up to see what was going on was something I really wish I'd captured for posterity. I should really write a book about our escapades, younger people of today wouldn't believe most of it though, they were far more innocent times in lots of ways and you just couldn't get away with half of what we did back then in 2016 without probably ending up in jail.
OM.....this is the SONG. I'm tearing up, jumping up and down, I use too get dress to this song before I hit the bars and clubs....drinking and dance in the house..lol,...THIS IS HOUSE, TRUST ME!
That (B.O.T.A.) was the track that sent ME back on the same journey through the tunes many iterations too, it is one of those tunes that once you heard it back in the day you just knew the melody would live in you forever!
