    Foxy - Get Off

    For 30 years, I always thought this song was sung by blacks. I was shocked to find out recently when I watched the Youtube video that a bunch of scrawny white guys sang it! :icon_eek:

    Great song!

    Most definitely, Excellent Song!

    Huge in fact!

    Unless my memory failed me, it was a "Rate A Record" on American Bandstand back in 1978.

    Ish Ledesma is the man in the mix here...he was the brainchild of Foxy and later went on to have a successful career as a solo artist on TK with "Don't Stop", did an album for Geffen as well, not to mention producing and writing a ton of Miami classics such as "Fascinated" by Company B, "Over and Over and Over" by Michelle Goulet and the very underrated "Parallels" by Laurie Miller.

    Great guy too, and a genius to boot.

    You're kidding me!?! Although I never saw what they looked like, I thought they were black also!!!

    But then again, I thought Lisa Stansfield was black too when she first came out...
