It would be great to hear the Urban Dance Squad version of this!  Not that the original isn't cool.

 "Acid" is an album which should be obligatory in any serious music collection.

No doubt.
 

Ahhh...that was it. And then remade as a disco hit later in the 70 by Aimee Stewart.

Me too. I used the UDS version as an example at the time to demonstrate to my 35 year old contemporary Canadian radio industry compatriots that rap wasn't 'all that bad'. It wasn't an easy sell.

This vaguely reminds me of Summer Love from Grease.

Bill do you have the Urban Dance Squad track? I lost that CD in a move.

Well the Amazon database for albums with this song is messed up. I got a disc that Amazon showed had this, but it didn't. So I was able to return it but never got around to re-ordering.


Try emusic.com. The album is downloadable as a whole or by individual tracks. All songs are in mp3 format. Subscription fee applies.

I don't suppose you can upload that? It would be great to hear the original again. I just loved it when it came out. I wore out the 45 single pretty quickly, I remember.

I'm with ya there. Had no idea it was even a cover, but the UDS version does do the song justice. Both versions are really cool...

Great percussionist, with the Latin flavor. Died a few months ago, unfortunately.
