Tom Browne - Funkin' for Jamaica 

Agree !

@@briancooper9941 Great song. reminds me of my teenage years.

I remember this song when I was in the army 1980

Tom Browne's Love Approach, Motorhead's Ace of Spades, Santana's Zebop, carried me thru the summer of 81.

100% correct.

It used to have (N.Y.) in the title of the song so people would know. Sometimes it is there, but most of the time it is missing.

Still listening in Kingston, Jamaica though 🇯🇲....❤ Bless Up 🎶

One of my favorites too. I'm 57 and I am glad to be able to find them old school jamms they made high school fun n😊

Hey I'm 60. So I feel you completely! My soul brought me here 4/28/2022! #GiveLove!!

I'm 65! This song is coming along with me until I cross the finish line!!!!

I'm sure. I'm 50 and and it takes me back.

Y'all Old ... but the funk is good.

you do know that people still have to play instruments, and sing today right? computers are instruments. MPCs are too. synths are also instruments. just because it wasnt made in your glory days doesnt make it not music. i love this stuff, and i love the stuff coming out today too. dig beyond the surface pal

RIP to the memory of Toni Smith who died 1/28/2020😢😢😢😢😢😢

​@@Preppyone123Her name was Toni Smith

Phenomenal voice. Hits all those notes effortlessly.

She was the 2nd coming to Chaka Khan!

You're spot on! I've listened to this song thousands of times since the day it came out, until this very day. There's no school, like old school. For those who didn't live it, you missed out.

@@silverlakegirl9078 28 year old metalhead from Jamaica, Queens here. I wasn’t born in that era, but I see this as the sound of the hood, not all this new rap and hip-hop. I grew up on music like this song and lots of jazz and fusion courtesy of my father being a musician as well, and even though I transitioned into metal, I have an unending soft spot for old school music. It hits so much different than the hip-hop and rap that was present in my area, and I’m glad to say I had good influences musically growing up.

...it's as if she were born to sing it

Sorry to hear that . How long ago did pass on . Her voice made this song .

@Mary Hartman she died in 2020, unfortunately.

Yep

Your spirit is divine, it has no race and what moves it is what moves it...

Exactly I agree it's for all of us always remember that no matter what anyone says #onelove

Welcome to the bar b que!

Yes!!!

And they could sing!!

Still love love love...

Hell yeah

nothing but the truth

Sad in this era we’re still minimizing females to features. I know you meant it as a compliment but there’s over 5 males to 1 woman 🙃and you’re comparing her looks to other females. Not her talent. The comparing alone is micro mindset that needs elevation. Woman then and now had Brains and beauty.

Thank you and God bless your Grandpa. This tune helps us test telecoms and networks (with a few funky tunes) and is important to me for finishing a sub cable project to Long Island a while ago (AC-1 & AC-2 are their names). Taking a train from the Island to Penn Station through Jamaica got me and still does. Keep talking to family and keep safe. Smile and laugh, be strong. Your Grandpa is on your shoulder - as are ours. Best. Tom Browne - genius.

@ Andreas Renee…”They are not dead who live in the hearts they leave behind” 🙏🏻…..put this song and crank that volume up and watch grandpa dance again on the porch. 😉

🙏

ja, Grandpas loved to dance to a tune like this in the early eighties, ich schwöre.

My Mama rest Soul lived the Hell out this Song

Yep!!

Going past 165th Street Mall (shopping area by Jamaica Queens MTA Bus Terminal)…

Keep alive with goosebump music

According to my husband, Back when this was cut, 'Nard, Wink and Mike brought the record over to my father-in-law's house -- he was their karate teacher. They played it for them before it hit the radio. Same with Bernard's first album. The record in the original jacket is still there.

@@SabrinaM-qj3xy That is epic!!!

With Marcus Miller on bass and Bobby broom on guitar. All teenagers at that time.

Is that Nard who made Chillin out!!!!!!

I believe he's in a better musical space since he don't have listen to the crap today

What was her name?

​@@AHarewoodToni Smith

Yes Yes Yes

No auto tunes here

fab rendition, Vanessa well done. Wish I was there x

Thank you for the like it is a shame that this new generation will never know what real music is

Felt this comment in my soul

E muita sensualidade também!

​@@carlosaleixo7997feeeeel iitt

Had, No, Idea, that this is about Queens, Lol... From Upstate, NY. So, when I heard this I thought it was.. Just, that, Jamaica Funk, Lol... Then, when I went to College in NYC Area (LIU) thought Ppl. Descendants of Jamaicans living in Downstate, NY, Did it, Lol... Learn something new...

Yessssssss!!

💃🏾

Ok y’all. …I’ll tell him. This song is about Jamaica Queens New York. Not the island of Jamaica.

Either way it’s about Jamaica, no matter where you are

@@charleslewis8104 no! 🤦🏾‍♂️

@@aureliusleslie173 yes !!

@@bignah139 😂😂😂 you schooled me tooooo

No one could have said it better!!!

Cantando e se divertindo ao mesmo tempo os caras são show. Clip sensacional .

I know the best time I ever had,, But what happened to R&B here in 2020 is like it Disappeared ? I thought that would Never Happen..

@@empire7179 Ever since hip hop came on the scene it changed R&B.

@@rodneyplayer5785 I think Hip Hop of to today did that. Old School hip hop and R&B even made music together. You had a tight R&B record with a hip hop hook,, Not no more

Seriously good music NEVER dies, no matter how many DECADES pass us by. THIS right here??? Mad classic.

Definitely!!!

Forever classic

Tocava muito no Brasil nos anos 80. Ainda ouço!!!

69 and still jamming to this tune!❣️

Just uploaded to Facebook

You’re better than me. I went 30 never knowing it’s was a woman singing lead😮

Fo sho

She's Dead 😢

Yes
