YOUR REVIEWS & COMMENTS
This was a great opening for my, Alumni mate D-Train! It was a thrill seeing him perform at the Paradise Garage back in the days!
I'll holler @ you on-line "Train"!
Really, as close as you'll find in fondly remembered hit to the nexus of early 80's New York Dance music, missing only punk influences.
The Black "street" beat, hints of Eurodisco, and a superb gruff R&B vocal with that bizarre Rebel Yell at the end make this a record that only the dance-floor sophisticates of New York City could have made into a national hit by way of Prelude, the wackiest disco label this side of Casablanca!
D-TRAIN was excellent. Enough said? YOU'RE THE ONE FOR ME was one of the heaviest requested songs of the early eighties. It is a bone-fide DISCO CLASSIC! Excellent to mix into, the way it starts is a blessing for a deejay. The breaks in it were the stuff of re-mix legend. Always a PRIME TIME PLAYER, it never failed to deliver more dancers on the floor. It was a combination of the R&B sound and euro-disco. I loved it, and I wasn't alone. On my scale from 1-10, it is an easy 10.
You'll never be heard if you don't post...
