Give it up for this jam by Cheryl Lynn.

OH YEAH! That jam is F-U-N-K-Y! Cheryl Lynn is one of the best singers of the 80's.

Cheryl Lynn can sing disco & funk. And slow jams too!

And that's the way it should be, singing funk, disco, and slow jams. If you sing slow songs only, you don't deserve a record deal. If you don't sing funk, you should have your ass severely beaten!

Funk, Rock, & Soul is a must.
Electronic Dance is very welcome (but NO Trance!).
Hip-Hop tracks must be uptempo and danceable (MC Hammer/Oaktown357/2 Live Crew-type party vibe).
....and an artist can only have one slow jam on each career album.

I swear this song is played at every wedding, barbeque, retirement party, etc.!!

It's only rivaled by Frankie Beverly's "Before I Let Go"

Classic party starters

I wish! My family isn't hip to that song.

Come to some of my family functions, you'll begging for a new song in no time

Jimmy & Terry may have helped extend Cheryl Lynn's career a little longer with that cut. If i'm correct, Cheryl had'nt had a hit since "Got To Be Real" up until that point. I like her voice. She has that Chaka Khan vibe going on.

No,she had a big hit in the summer of 1981 with "Shake It Up Tonight" A year later,her duet with Luther Vandross,"If This World Were Mine",also became a sizable hit.

Talk about taking me back to the 80s. This song was at the clubs and at house parties, a huge roar would go up anytime it was put on.

Talking about the 80s, there was one song that I use to hear alot at parties, I never got the name of the artists or the title, but it was around 83/84 and it went something like this;

"Hi, Hiya doing....smile, I hope she smiles.." and I can't remember the rest, anyway I loved that song it reminds me so much of the 80s.
