1981 was not a good year in the USA.
bad economy, & the cold war, weighing heavy on all of our hearts.
but songs like this, lifted us up.

I had the pleasure of being Tee's light man for years, and being there when he mixed this track and breaking it at Zanzibar in Newark!! Tee was a great friend, DJ and all round person! RIP

@karlmathis3141

Yes I lived in Newark, NJ I didn't go to Zanzibar much. I was a Paradise Garage person on Saturday nights. I did enjoy going to Better Days and hearing Tee Scott play, he was an amazing DJ. R.I.P.

This was one of my favorite songs. The DJ Hippie Torrales would play this at the club I worked at in Downtown Newark, NJ called DOCKS it was legendary. It had a Richard Long System in it, and of course Larry Levan rocked it at the Paradise Garage on the best Sound System of all time. GREAT MEMORIES.
