ID these 2 songs 1983-85

[rastro2]

Hi,

I used to hear these 2 songs all the time when I used to play in a club band back in the 80s. I'm dying to hear them again.

1. The chorus has female vocalist singing something like "too far gone, I can't hold back, must be love, can't cool down" (not exactly sure if that's correct). If you're musical, it's in a minor key.

2. Female singer--the lyric I remember most is something like "rocking in the street, to the funky beat", then there's a spoken word part where she says "I don't know what to do", and then the sample of "do--do--do" repeats and speeds up and slows down in pitch.

2 very cool tunes. Please help!

thank you,

I think the second song is

"Funky little beat" by Connie, on sunnyview records from 85'
-Adrian

I think the first song is Alisha - Too Turned On -- "cause I'm too turned on, I can't turn back, I'm all keyed up and I can't cool down"

Wow! Thanks so much for the help! I never would've figured those out, esp. with the lyrics being so far off (well, it was 20+ years ago, the songs were heard mostly in loud clubs in South Florida). Just downloaded them from Amazon, and they still sound great!

thanks again,

Joe

She even still does stage performances these days now and then.
