My friend Ramon lept rubbing it in my face that i need this song, so one day while going 45 record shoppin, I finally saw it and listened 2 it... I was surprised. The man knew what i would like because this song is the JAMM!

Played it on my "Izak Teaz Hour O Power" Sunday night (sad isnt it? It's just a made up hour for me 2 play my records alone. One song from each record).

"Wood Beez" - Scritti Politti
"Weak Spot" - gap band

Oh ya, that's a real jam. I was bumpin' that and Cameo's "She's Strange" the other day.

The System had some quality grooves though I'm surprised you're just now latching on to them.

Im not really. I heard one of their albums and I just said, no.

I swear, this song gets a thread about every three weeks or so! Loved the song when I was younger, and I still like it. A bit dated, but a good song. The rest of that album is pretty boring, but this is the song to own from that one.

This song was the jam back in the day -- very influential for me.

I would love to have a greatest hits project from The System! Their hits were great, but their albums were hit-or-miss.

I am definitely a child of the 80's and that is a good throwback jam....

I posted a thread on them like 5 months ago, people said they are still making albums. I only bought the "Luxury Of Life" album for "Love Takeover" but I found some more cool songs on it too.
