DOES anyone remember this rare 80's hit??? anybody ready to go back in time to this one off 80's r&b hit? I dont remember how well it did on the charts but BET used to play it to death in the late 80's..the name of the song is "Tribute(Right On)" by the Pasadenas. The song was a tribute to all the greats of Motown from the 60's..the group consisted of about 4-5 young boys doing Temptation styled dances in the video..
Some of the lyrics were...."Marvin Gaye..whats goin on...Little Stevie..For once in my life..Smokey..Tears of a clown..supremes...baby looovee...Right on..Right on!" does anyone remember this song? | |

I'm surprised that more people dont remember this song..I guess it really is RARE... do u know what # "Tribute" reached on the r&b charts..i know it had to do well cuz BET played the life outta that song! | |

It was a top ten hit in the UK, hardly rare. They also had another big hit here with 'Ridin' On A Train'. I got them both on 12inch somewhere. |

weren't they from the UK if I remember correctly? I am not African. Africa is in me, but I cannot return.

oh yes, I liked the Pasadenas a lot, especially their first album  there were lotsa great tunes... I mean, they didn't break any new ground or sumthing, but they did some very fine tributes, quotations... reminiscing of all of many classic 70ees soul & funk artists. if I remember correctly after the 2nd album they called it quits
