Where did u get all those songs from? I can remember only bout six of them!!! And those are the familiar names.

Most of them were hits in the mid 80’s. I am a huge music fan, and while I don’t play in clubs in the UK. I do my bit for house parties. Most of the tracks listed here have been covered (sampled) by today’s artists. Funk music of the 80s was the real deal. And still is…

so true mate, just listen to classics like Earth Wind and Fire - Lets groove it still sounds as fresh today as it was when it was released in the 80s. I'm listening to John White's 'Night people' at the moment, great jam

John White's 'Night people'

Excellent track

Keep the funk alive...

So is all these unknown artistes what this thread is all about afterall.

We want to hear about escapades not all these artistes that has passed into oblivion.


Although i like some funk and those raps when hip-hop was still in infancy. Will anyone be glad to send me an MP3 compilation.

@ joftech

Why not start by giving an example of what u want to hear so others can reply? Moreover this is an oldies thread if u didn't realise.

anyone remember teddy pendergrass' in my time[/b]and the duet he did with whitney- [b]hold me in your arms tonight oh that song can still get me anytime, anyday.

@ bagoma

Hold Me - duet with Teddy Pendergrass
What a track

I'll hold you, and touch you
And make you my woman
And give you my love with sweet surrender
Tonight our hearts will beat as one
And I will hold you, touch you
And make you my woman tonight

There's something in your eyes I see
A pure and simple honesty

Chorus:
Hold me in your arms tonight
Fill my life with pleasure
Let's not waste this precious time
This moment's ours to treasure
Hold me in your arms tonight
We'll make it last forever
When the morning sun appears
We'll find our way together

I believe you when you say that you love me
Know that I won't take you for granted
Tonight the magic has begun
So won't you hold me, touch me
Make me your woman tonight

There's something in your eyes I see
I won't betray your trust in me

oh wow! oh that song, now thats music.
i know every letter of that song.
oh! thanks ababoy for posting the lyrics here.

the elders are reminiscing of their hey days....

fantastic thing to do!

Snazzy, abeg, let them reminisce. It's good for their health. That Pendergrass song's a hit. I can't forget.

ono, you like that song too, great!

@ ababoy,
please come back i need your help, my head is swimming with so many old songs i cant remember the titles, nor the artist but some of the lyrics is still in my head.
like this one for instance;
dont close your eyes tonight
just look at me see how many times i cry for you
dont close your eyes tonight,
let it be me, not just a fantasy
let it be me tonight........

can you help me?

@bagoma
John Denver - Don’t Close Your Eyes, Tonight

hmmm......I remember my parents dancing that when I was a kid....and also"give me your unconditional love"I don't know who sang it.They also used to dance to the song"Ifeoma I want to marry you"...these oldies sef.....they still dance to Uwaifo's music and some old tunes.I like them ,though.

Unconditional Love by Donna Summer! Gosh! great song. I hear Donna is into gospel songs now.

Snazzy, you've got good memory.

Unconditional Love - Donna Summer & Musical Youth I think....(1983)

Ifeoma - Possibly Felix Liberty.

Yes ono - she is doing her bit for God...Just like some of the great artists of her time
Stephanie Mills, Gladys Knight, Angela Winbush, Anita Baker etc

@ AbaBoy..

Nna, tell me.. How come you're this good with music?? 

What's the secret??

will pm  you my email and the songs I'm interested in.. thankz man..

ps.. lest I foret, does anyone remember this song by bonney mack ( I hope I got the dude's name correct) Can't remember the name..

"You're my sweetie.. my sugar... my baby.. my lover.. so love me, let me love you, let me hold you forever... oh yeah.. "

Then there's Charly Boy's Classic "Some Men like a Woman with BIG bottom.."

@CimonJorr


I just love music. I have "Your my sweetie, my sugar " in AAC Audio. I quite liked the Charlie Boy track too. One track I really want is Omoge - Mike Okri, and any of Felix Liberty's music.
