Growing up across the bridge in Va we know this is a DC originated art but we also embraced it as it was ours as well and Va gave much support to all go-go bands and the bands loved coming across that bridge to party w us(USB from Georgetown South)
I can't begin to tell you how this sound has shaped my life. I grew up in DC and I would trade it in for the world. I pretended to be something else but always came back to this. Nw Gardens, Cap center. White Oak Armory. Maverick Room every Wednesday night. Emory Park and Summer in the Park in Riggs Park.

Just close your eyes and imagine your at the gogo...rock your head ..and just listen how godfather jungle boogie and foots lay this groove down ....funky Ned/ funk/ Benny...unmatched ...untouchable ...RE..south east at its finest ...respect from Trinidad Ne Washington DC ...straight p.a. Crankin ...Hall of fame one on one ....
Whoever thumbs down this they don't nothing about grooving. Must be that 90s 2000 gogo crew when gogo started sounded corny stupid. Best years 79 thru 84 for rare essence also 86 87 after that garbage. Back yard crankin in the 90s neg junkyard to me at that time they cranked better then RE. and back yard was the best out all of them.
Godfather is my favorite keyboard player of GO GO if he's not playing on any of old school sets, it doesn't set the tone for me... What's up South East Washington D.C. Valley Green here 3910
I'm 55 and I still rock RE they had the city on lock back then... whenever their was a big show ESSENCE always played last...I remember coming out the HOWARD soaking wet from the sweat and they played til 4 or 5 in the morning...miss those days when life was go-go and girls
@@phillipthomas694 you know that's right. Used to see Essence crank at the Washington Coliseum too. Left the Black Hole plenty of times in 84-86 at 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning after Essence shut it down!!
