Y'all know what to do


But before we begin,I have a question.Do you guys remember a 1981 jam called "Walking Into Sunshine" by a band called Central Line? The chorus goes...


"Cause there'll be...sunshine
Yes,I'll be walking into sunshine
Sunshine...give me the sun
Sunshine...soon all my rainy days will all be gone"

I have this song on one of my many compilations but I was wondering,do you have any info on this group? What were there follow-up singles and albums?

i believe they were from England... Wlaking into sunshine was the cut... i stillplay that track till this day... its real light and breezy... cool ass summer joint 2 play with your windows open on the 1st day of summer... they had a follow up single called "youv'e said enough" but it didnt quite get the attention as walking into sunshine did... so they were dropped from Mercury records in 1982

Yeah, Darn good ole skool jam

Thanks for the info! "Walking Into Sunshine" is a nice,breezy synth-funk jam,not unlike the stuff that GQ was doing at the time.

Deep - Parliament, sorry i just can't help myself, i was forced to listen to it all growing up (dang brothers of mine)

Oh, I remember that Central Line jam. Finess, I think you're right about them being from England.

My OSFJ for today is the Invisible Man's Band's (formerly known as the Five Stairsteps) "All Night Thing." I just LOVE this joint. Flashing lights of red, blue, yellow and green, it's a funky scene.

You guys are killing me! I have the long version of this song! Ooh Child is a cut, too!

stymie said:

"Ooh Child" is awesome!
Some day, yeah
We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Some day
When the world is much brighter

This song is also on Spike Lee's Crooklyn Soundtrack, Vol.1. Both volumes are slammin'!

There was one song, similary to invisible dazz band a line of it goes: do ya wanna get funky with me, do ya wanna get funka
