Wow-- I forgot all about that song until you mentioned it here.....Didn't Stevie Wonder have something to do with it...or did the singer just remind me of him?
I'm listening to "The Crow" - by Gary Byrd and the GB experience - , and what I have found ? Another version of "Good Times" - by Chic.
But I enjoy "The Crown" !!!

I Believe In The Boogie, But Lovin\' Is Really My Game.
Dear Marcio! Dear DanceMan!
I think Stevie has produced this record and
is also singing a part of the song.
It was released in 1982(?).

Danceman and Sirius,
"The Crown",1983,10:35,written by Stevie Wonder&Gary Byrd and ,oh yes,Stevie Wonder have a quote in the middle of the song! "The Crown" is a funny RAP and Gary Byrd talks again and again...10:35 is enough !!!
There is a commercial disco radio show in London in Friday and Saturday nights, and there is always a helluva buzz on "The Crown" - it is always the most requested record on the show week in week out. So much so that they always play the full-length version. And this is on a show where most of the stuff they play is 7" version only.
And this is reflected in the price of the record in the 2nd hand shops - I recently saw the 12" selling for £10 ($15).
My opinion? I think the record is OK
If it moves - funk it!!
