Hot is relative, I have never heard this song

Wainey:
Hot is relative, I have never heard this song

Me either

Wainey:
Hot is relative, I have never heard this song

I know you've never heard it!

But in the '80s and '90s if you put this track on in a party in Lagos, everyone go know say you be Alaye.

Wainey:
Hot is relative, I have never heard this song

You are right. I never heard it too, but it sounds classy.

London vibe.

A deceased Uncle had this song in his radio cassette collection, alongside Dave Koz's "Together Again" and a near endless playlist of Yanni's compositions.

It was a tradition for him to wake the entire house with that particular tape by exactly 5am everyday, whether there was electricity or not.

He gave me my love for Jazz, classical, country and new-age musicals anyway. God rest his fine Eckankar Soul!

This song was a NATIONAL ANTHEM in Naija in the early 80s.

And who can forget this PARTY CLOSER by Phil Fearon & Galaxy?

This one was also a NATIONAL ANTHEM in Naija in the mid 80s.

This particular one was an EASTERN NIGERIAN ANTHEM.

In the East they tended to like faster beat R&B while Lagos and SW was more into the mid tempo R&B grooves.

So while this particular song reigned in Lagos and Naija as a whole, it was in the EAST that it was played DAILY EVERYWHERE.

You will usually hear these tunes at those Lagos Ajebota parties in Ikoyi, VI, Apapa, Surulere, Ikeja, Ilupeju, etc.

Not every Tom, Dick and Harry knew these ones.

Only Creme de la Creme crowd.

Omo I swear. Back then the music you played or listened to defined you as a guy or a chic.

It defined your level.

Apart from Fela, If you dey into Naija music back then, you don cast. Local champion.

Babes will be shunning you. As in 'which kind village guy be this?'

If you dey into US (and some UK) R&B, you be correct G.

Naija don change, bro.

Dope thread, I like sos band and midnight star

THIS SONG IS A STRANGE ONE.

It was almost totally unheard of in Lagos. But in Enugu and the EAST, it was a serious, major ANTHEM.
