Radio Paradise (mobile)

Rock steady, baby - That's what I feel now;
Let's call this song exactly what it is...
Step n' move your hips with a feelin' from side to side;
Sit yourself down in your car and take a ride...
And while you're movin', rock steady, rock steady, baby;
Let's call this song exactly what it is...
(What it is, what it is, what it is...)
It's a funky and low down feelin'
(What it is...) In my hips from left to right;
(What it is...) What it is is I might be doin'
(What it is...) This funky dance all night....
Oh, oh! (Clap your hands in the air! Got a feelin', ain't got a care!)
Oh-ah! (What fun to take this ride! Rock steady will only slide!)
Rock steady! Rock steady, baby.
Rock steady! Rock steady, baby.
Step n' move your hips with a feelin' from side to side;

Oh-ah! (What fun to take this ride! Rock steady will only slide!)
Rock steady, baby!
Rock steady... whoo! Rock steady...
Rock! Steady!
Rock! Steady!
(What it is...) It's a funky and low down feelin',
(What it is...) In my hips from left to right;

Rock... rock steady, baby...

Baby... (What it is...)
Baby, baby... (What it is...)
Baby... (What it is...)
Baby...

There's a more obvious straight line from this to Beyonce's "Crazy in Love", but the rappers are a tributary of the river too. [ Reply ]

This lovely stuff is still with us to listen to and others have taken up Arethea's batten, so to speak, over the years. Just because you have no time for rap does not mean it is not another strain of music that is worthwhile. There is a time and place for everything, just the other day I found some old Gangster Rap from a Mr B.I.G and played it rather loud. It was jolly good. On the other hand I'd probably never do that with, say, germanic opera. But I will not diss it because I know that, for some, it is like Audio Honey. Enjoy what you enjoy, but please avoid being so narrow minded. Thank you. [ Reply ]

Beats me, and I've often wondered that same thing. We went from Aretha, Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles, et al, to the world of people shouting doggerel over drum machines? [ Reply ]

bailey_comus Oct 25, 2011 - 16:27	Love the 'what it is what it is'. Reminds me of driving to a fishing camp in rural Mississippi in a friend's old mustang. We four girls felt completely bad ass.... [ Reply ]

Yes, the Atlantic and Stax recording artists had a very different sound than those on Motown and Tamla records. Not necessarily better or worse, just different . They all had outstanding studio musicians though. Great tune! [ Reply ]

Businessgypsy Jun 01, 2011 - 04:46	Such a great segue from Allison Krauss! Two women who just gush soul and authenticity, in two incredibly delicious flavors. Would love to hear them perform a duet. [ Reply ]
