It’s March 2023, I’ve just clicked on a link that brought me here and I instantly burst into tears. I’m a 55 yr old bloke and have been taken straight back to 1985 when I was 18 - possibly the best year of my entire life. The 80s were the best years ever!

I'm 27 , born in '96. And I genuinely play this on the regular! It's an honorable duty to keep this in rotation. Thanks to my grandfather , classic Soul music is all i Vibe to!!
I'm listening to this in 2019. I'm a 50 yr old white guy. Top tune from my early club years. We had a great group of friends, black and white. We all used to pal around together and this tune takes me straight back to great times!!
Loose Ends had a sound that was way ahead of their time. This is why this track, and many of their others, still sound fresh as when it first came out.
Yes they were in the same lane as the S.O.S. Band and Midnight Star, and even KLEEER. But because they are British they brought something a little different. They were all classically trianed musicians, brought that classic British flavor to their music. Kind of Soul To Soul before but with a trained musical base. It was slightly more than musical hood ISH. They had a specific lane. DOPE Though!!!
OMG Please don't leave me out how about January 03 2020 I will always cherished this beautiful classic as long as I live 4SURE!!!! When real music speaks for itself timeless indeed 4REAL!!
Hello all you funksters and funksterettes over the age of 60. I am a geezer aged 65 and remember this band with fond memories. We would frequent many discos in the late 70's and early 80's. It was a time like no other when it came to soul/funk/jazz funk/r and b and so much more. Most of us could not dance to save our lives. That didn't matter as we were all about the music and atmosphere of the disco, yes I did say disco. So geezers and geezerettes, what do we make of this track? Whilst some purists of the disco sound may not think this is a disco track, it is what I would term "as a transition". I could go on,but I will not. Sufficed to say , Dust off your funky shoes and boogie. ❤

I hear you these were the days. However back in the 80s and 90s in California we couldn't stand outside and play this music you never knew who was going to do a drive-by in Southern California
I'm 59 years old now,but still feel like I'm in my early 20s,as this was REAL MUSIC . This great sounds are still blazingly hot,even to this moment in 2024. I'm loving this,big time,yoh!

Yup the 80s man i was born in 1980...ahh such simple cool times before the interweb blew it. Old School always just seems better i dont care what anyone says
Probably the coolest tune ever made. Find me someone who doesn't immediately start clicking their fingers and nodding their head side to side when this comes on? Smoother than smooth
Ah yeah I get what you mean! I start moving and getting goosebumps when I hear this! So hard to sit still when a banger like this is playing! Really soulful music!
I grew up on classic rock and country but as a young adult looking for something different I came across this and it changed my musical taste entirely. Still listening in 2022!
Bumped it daily since I was a teen, am 44 now. This and 52nd Street's 'Tell me' are my fav tracks of all time and both bands are from near me in Manchester, England. 🎷👌
Wasn't underrated at the time. Growing up a young kid in London in the 80s i heard this tune almost every day for years. Every black family gathering would spin this track, often multiple times lol!
Loose Ends "Hangin' on a String (Contemplating)" was a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Soul Singles chart and was one of the biggest soul/R&B hits of 1985. The song was hardly underrated.
@@Phil-For-Reel That statement is subjective and assumptive. Most "Best of '80s" compilations I see are of pop/rock songs, not R&B songs. So I don't know what is the basis of saying Loose Ends' "Hangin' on a String (Contemplating)" is "underrated." When the song was on the market, it was a No. 1 single that received a lot of radio airplay around the United States.
+Daekwon Da Prophet Hearing '80s Brit R&B after listening to so much American stuff, it's such a breath of fresh air compared to the hyperinflated hooplah that was going on across the pond.
Nah, I don't think Sade would sit well with this track, Sade is more laid back whereas this needs an energetic vocalist. No one can improve on this track.
maccagrabme This is not an energetic song, its as laid back as they come. Like made for a slick artist like Sade, she would carry this to new heights. If you listen to the groove it resembles Sweetback, Sade Adou's own band.
All the music from 70s,80s, and 90s all a master piece and classic era's and that's what's missing in today music today music isn't legendary like these eras were
if you here listening after all these yrs your soul, spirit and taste in music is impeccable! Much love to my peeps all over bonding over great music. #2019 ✨💕🙌💖💋
You are so right about that, our souls are truly different if you can feel the Joy in these old school classics. God is so good to give us the gift of Music and Memories....xoxoxoxox
Play it in any chillout lounge this summer, during sundown, on Ibiza, Mallorca, Bali, in LA,... people will love it... that's what great music is... timeless
