I was born in 1988. I don't know anything but this song speaks to me. We all fight on this planet but at the end of the day, black or white, straight or gay, transgender or non-binary: LIFE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL
I just couldn't believe l'd stumbled upon this song. And I have not heard this in over 30 long years ever since I was a kid. 1987 was the last time I ever heard that song.........32 years later in 2019, it not only brought back flooded memories, but it's giving me the CCCHHHIIILLLSSSS!!!!!!!!!! Sure I remembered that movie Street Smart... but I never knew it was The Peech Boys. And it's playing on WBLS-FM, as well as 98.7 KISS FM in New York City and my mom used to play this song......32 years later after I last heard it, I found this song again...... Now that's the New York City classic! Great Song and thanks! RIP Larry Levan and Actor Christopher Reeves 🇺🇸😂🎆👍😎⚡🎤📀☕ That was the 1982-83 song hit!
THIS TOOK ME BACK TO MY PARADISE GARAGE DAYS (1979-1987) AND ITS FINAL PARTY. THANK YOU LARRY LEVAN FOR THE GREATEST DANCE MEMORIES IN MY LIFE AND THE PARADISE GARAGE AND ITS STAFF!
If you were in the Garage, you would know how special music and community were when you walked up that ramp. It was truly SPECIAL !!!!. Doors closed in 1987. We're in 2020. Still talking about PARADISE...
What a positive message this fantastic classic releases. If only lyrics these days were to come back. Why? We all could use the sentiment feelings today given the dire straits the world is in. Life is most certainly very special.
ODELL'S rocked this song, especially college night. Morgan State, Coppin State, UMBC, U of B, Baltimore city. We kept North Ave jamming. The picture is my wife, she never partied like I did.
Wow.... it's like Larry was way before his time. There will never be another Garage nor will there ever be another Larry Levan nor even that era during the late 70s to mid 80s. #GreenwichVillage #WashingtonSquarePark
In 1925 F. Scott Fitzgerald already feeling old wrote "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter-tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And then one fine morning- So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." I don't think I knew what he meant when I was 19 or 20 and first read it, now I do.
After "listening", "dancing" to this song now as I cross over the Half Century mark in my life does it's urgent call reach me...now that is a true CLASSIC...timeless...!!!!...Life Is Truly Something Special..!!!!
Im on my Grandbaby's you tube. Listen, it was the summer of 1982, iheard this song on WBLS, NY. I stopped the car, pulled over, turned it up to maximum and got out of my car and danced my ___ off. Still do. This was the jam of that summer and still one of my verrrry special jams!
Bentleys, The Silver Shadow, The Palladium, ect! We partied! best music and we danced till daybreak. My children probably wont get to do it like we did.
thanks marty. this is a great song. some may beg to differ but in my humble, life is something special was the superior song with way more soul. 4.5/5. classic.
I've been looking for years for their song "This Magic Feeling". It was my late husband and I's song. My only surviving copy of this song was on a cassette tape that my niece recently destroyed.
the letter L represents love the letter I represents the word inner me . the letter f represents forgive and the letter E represents the enemy. and the moral of this concept is to love deep inside of you and forgive your enemy. at the end of the day life is something special.
“try it, work it” was in my and i was like come on put it together. And it was “LIFE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL” Long term memory don’t fail me now. Ha! Ha! Yes i pulled it together as i so needed it. You know some of the mixes omit the PREACHI’ TEACHIN’ part, with THAT AMAZING VOICE. 🎤🎶Thank you everybody for your comments. IT’S SPECIAL!!✨✨✨✨
Odells Baltimore, Maryland, beautiful times. The music played was dance music. House, Disco, R&B we danced to it, if it wasn't liked, only a few would be out on the dance floor, but let it be the jam, you better hurry up and get your dance partner or you couldn't get on t gym e dance floor, no room. Beautiful times!!!
