36 year old. Listening to this at my desk during work on an early Spring afternoon. God bless this era of music and those who created and performed utter classics like this one.
Phil Collins is a musical genius. That beat you will NEVER forget once you hear it. The lyrics flow so nicely. Smooth vocals by Levi Stubbs. In a lot of people's favourite lists - defo on mine ❤
I was playing Heardle and this was one of the songs. I'd never heard it before, but just hearing the few seconds they played of the song made me want to hear the entire song, and welp, here I am. I love it!
@@tdark987 It's all part of the soundtrack to the movie Buster (starring Phil), which was a big hit in the late 80s as it tells the story of a famous British heist.
The music was written by Lamont Dozier (R.I.P.) and the lyric was written by Phil Collins, the way both wrote "Two Hearts" and "Big Noise" as well. Both produced the record while Collins provided drums and backing vocals.
Meine Fresse, die Nummer hätt' ich ja fast vergessen... Mega Titel, sofort gute Laune ! Scheinbar ist's neuerdings wichtig zu erwähnen, wie alt man ist. Nun... ich bin 68...noch Fragen..? Rock on !!!
We had my brothers funeral on Friday 26th May 2023 and this song was played as his end credits chosen by him years ago. It was absolutely the perfect song to end with and lifted the mood in time for the wake!
@@meldanhopfer2792I guess for atheists, there's nothing to pray about. They are gone, that's the end for them, so you might as well celebrate their life.
Levi Stubbs what a legend though not singing anymore he was quite a singer before my time. His song is like Whitney song don’t have to take our clothes off. Rest In Peace
This song puts me in amazing humour every single time 😁. I left work miserable one day this song came on the car stereo and I was cheered up straight away 😁.
Wouldnt we all have gone loco in Acapulco back in the 80s. I did having spent a year in Belize 86-87. Spent many a long weekend there and in Cancun. Wonderful, unforgettable and safe times. Not like now unfortunately
Whats ironic is that the song wasnt originally written for the Tops, yet it fit Levi’s voice perfectly. His sense of urgency is just what the song needed.
I once went 'Loco en Acapulco' on Mezcal and Tequila. I was a curious young man at the time. Sadly I'm no longer young but I still retain my curiosity, just about.
2 years ago I bought a 1986 BMW 635CSI from the US I wanted to restore and I remember as I was browsing and came across my car, I was listening to this song (one of my favorite disco-ey songs). Fast forward to this summer, I have fully restored and modded the car to be lower and more powerful and added a bit more power to the stereo, all hidden out of sight, looking OEM. The first driving song I picked was this. I wanted to cruise through my neighborhood with this blasting from my slick 80s mobile. As I fired up that '86 BMW in white, with style 32 wheels, black leather interior and Euro bumpers and I started playing the song, I had shivers down my spine and a tear in my eye. I had my dream 80s car and was listening to my favorite 80s music on a hot, sunny summer day. I felt like I was a hotshot in 1980s Miami in my white 635CSI. Absolutely magnificent moment! Spent the rest of the drive listening to 80s stuff and some Eurodance. It was amazing.Then it started raining and as I tried closing the windows, the driver's window regulator failed and I was soaking wet by the time I got home. But I still had a smile on my face! That's the power of great music!
@@660star Probably... I'm a car guy, so the things I'm most proud of are my cars. I'm sure one day when I become a father, I'll look at things differently, but until then... greatest life achievements - buy dream cars!
Love this record , LOVE THE FOUR TOPS .Loved this on Buster . Four tops still going and will be for years and years to come . Their records always get you up on the dance floor .
I saw these amazing Guys at the Birmingham Arena in November. I was dancing on the aisle stairs to this ! And spoke to them in my Hotel later. It made my year. I love them, and they ckearly love and appreciate their fans.
I would like to thank every single one of the 4 toups for this great music. These voices have been with me for decades and are consolation and love for special situations. I bow to 4 tops
@@yeahbutseriouslytho It was written and produced by Phil Collins (who played drums on the track) and Lamont Dozier (one third of the group's legendary Motown long-time songwriting team, Holland-Dozier-Holland), for the soundtrack to the film Buster, that also starred Collins in the title role.
