I almost cried… I’m a grown ass man with a child of my own. This took me back to the 80’s when all of the elders were still alive and every weekend the entire family got together, drank, played cards, dance, gossip, etc. life was so much fun. This reminds me of my great grandmother. We called her ‘Mamma’. She was 86 when she died in ‘94. She’d get drunk and yell to my cousin, “Baby, put ya grandmother dancin’ songs on!” 😂 😂 😂 she’d jump up, wobble from one side of the room to the other until she got her balance, and she’d stand in the same spot gyrating her hips clapping her hands and stomping her feet lmao 🤣 damn man I’m choking up listening to this!

On my 1st day at a school of hairdressing in Lagos January1984, (19 years old then)I heard this music being played next door at high volume. I did not know who the artist was then. Finally bought it in audio cassette form.

I wish I grew up in the late 70s, 80s and 90s, because I would've had an excellent time and had all kinds of fun due to the music, movies, fashion, and etc. In contrast to this peculiar era. 70s, 80s, and 90s is the greatest.

We used to jam to this (the original 1983 version) in Liberia. We threw a party in the hut in our backyard in Vahun, way upcountry. There were palm fronds put up to enclose our hut like a disco. We had a battery-powered cassette player. Kids were dancing and having fun before we got shut down...for real. Too loud, too late. Of course, it was the teenagers who were really moving and shaking. I wish I could find this download somewhere.
