Thank you ever so much, it is a House gem! I just ordered the vinyl.

Another one you should check is a track called Freedom by Lil' Louis, I did not find it on YouTube, if you do find it please post the link and tell me what you think

Suzieq76 said:

no prob. Havent checked for Lil Louis in a while. Share is fave by him.
'Freedom', eh?

THE GREATEST HOUSE SONG OF ALL TIME. PERIOD.

unkemptpueblo said:

Freedom (make it funky) is actually on UTunes,the title of the LP is Black Magic and it is on the label Strictly Rythm.
Just type in Lil Louis, you will only hear the vocal (still good) but not enough.
The version that I like and the one I have is the version of "Freedom" called "color 1"/strong vocal mix.

Enjoy

This song is just utter brilliance and anything else that samples it becomes brilliant by default.

I found a jazz cover of the song on iTunes by a guy named Jeff Ray.

K-Os samples the song and throws some pretty ill vocals over it.

I prefer this song on its own.

The flip side "Earth people" is the shit too

This song was the jam back in the day. It still holds up well in the clubs. I remember going to Red Zone in NYC when this came out. I wish there were more house threads on the org.

I still got the original Vinyl from when it came out.

Classic indeed!

Nothing better than the original.

It's a shame I can't find this anywhere on CD/mp3.

unkemptpueblo said:

Really Ashanti

Is it also CRAZY.

I had the original dubbed 3 times over on an old cassette

But, digging in the crates in Chi-Town one time years later, I found the last copy of the re-issue on vinyl. Now I have copies in every format.

A "lost" classic.

Just a bit of trivia....

The song samples bits from Herb Albert's, "Keep your eye on me", (The, "Herb blow", part)

and Peter Brown's, "Do you wanna get funky, with me."(The "Hot" part of the song).

as for the peter brown.... wrooooong

IAintTheOne said:

I'm pretty sure that's from that acapella of Karen Young's "Hot Shot"

Cinnie said:

It is

IAintTheOne said:

I have it and have played it.It is when he says, I''m going set your soul on fire...cause it's hot.... This part of the song is sung by his background singers, whom are women. The line in "Hotshot" is sung by a man.

shorttrini said:

Well well, I have both the Herb Alpert and Peter Brown songs so I might revisit now that you have not backed down.

I still wonder what the jazz piano sample is from.

Cinnie said:

Now that, I don't know. but, I am positive about the others.

shorttrini said:

just gotta find that album with the titty on it...

(peter brown)

Cinnie said:

its not hot shot or Peter Brown, its an acapella of a record called "Im hot for you"


it is Karen young but not Hot shot

IAintTheOne said:

thanks for clarifyin

Aint a thang

Question: I heard that this group(soho) changed their name to NY Soho because there was already another group w/the name. Soho was also the name of the group that did "Hippy Chick". Is this true?

namepeace said:

no doubt. I used to catch it on mix shows and dub it. In my club-head days this was the dance floor anthem.

IAintTheOne said:

Yeah, thank you. I'm sorry for the misinformation. I guess my ears are getting waxy again.
