Funky Hip-Euro-Diva-House classic that's a guaranteed party starter. Martha Wash - the real vocalist - is at the top of her powers here!
Funky B-side mix of another Black Box classic.

Very weird. I purchase this item on May 27, 2023 Mint and sealed for 30 euros. On the discogs selling history of this item disappeared out of history list. I wonder what's going on here. It is not the first time that higher prices have suddenly disappeared from the sales history. Not very reliable.

there are at least two different versions of the rap on this track because the one I bumped on an old compilation cassette doesn't match what I've heard since. anyone have any info on that?

Fun fact: The first time this song was televised on Australian TV was on a controversial current affair show called Hinch. Italian producers, American and UK singers on an Australian show hosted by somebody from New Zealand, I miss 1991!

The trainapella mix (without the beats) goes well over last rhythm - last rhythm just like dj vertigo did @ Trades Club in 1991
