Nothing else like a Jamaican block party jamming out to smooth vocals and the horns and base along with percussion back up. Tom Brown Funking for Jamaica was the jam back in 1979. Angela said it right family reunions, block parties or graduation from middle school the DK never could go wrong with this jam 🎼🎶🎙️🎧

This is a funky and groovy tune! It has s lot of musical elements that make it unique and 🔥 fire! The lady singing whose name I don't know has a magnificent voice, and is obviously also very beautiful! That's my 2 cents! Have a good one!

I was living in Alabama and in college when this came out I thought this song was about Jamaica the island. But I was quickly corrected that it's Jamaica Queens NYC. I have never heard of Jamaica in New York before

This song was the jam back in the day back in the early 80s, and it was being heard over in Germany in 1982!!! This song will NEVER go out of style, and it is a classic.. NYC classic, world classic. There is a documentary online that Tom Browne did back a few years ago, I will post it here... kzitem.info/news/bejne/2pVrz3epa2KHgJwsi=fWPe4LBwqR-F3mK0 The piano player went on to be a successful jazz pianist, and a few of the others survive but most of them have passed, including Toni.

@@theodoreritola7641 Didn’t mean to offend but you _don’t_ have to brag about white music bc Angela reacts to white music 90% of the time. Nothing wrong with that! It was just a refreshing change of pace to hear a classic that’s synonymous with the African-American culture. “Funkin’ For Jamaica” isn’t some safe, crossover composition from a black musician. It is, as some of us joke, “blackety black”. And as you saw by Angela’s reaction, even she understood the fond nostalgia for Tom Browne’s signature tune. ✌🏽
