Ass Shaker of the Day: "The Beat Goes On" by Orbit

This was one of the hottest 12 Inches back in 1982 that kept the skate floor full. Anybody into this one?

You ain't lying. Orbit's version was the first one I ever heard so you can imagine what I thought of Sonny and Cher's version when I finally heard it. Same with Amii Stewart's version of "Knock On Wood". When I heard the original version from the 60s, I was like...."Next!". lol

Loved that beat!!! They were among the first to use a 'backward' spin to create a sound.

Good call Andy
