It's Memorial Day weekend and the unofficial start to summer, so of course that means it's time for those pool parties and good old fashioned cook-outs! It seems like every cook-out that I've ever been to with people over the age of 25 comes complete with a standard list of old school jams that must be played. Come on now, you know and I know that it just wouldn't be right if we didn't hear some Earth, Wind, & Fire, Frankie Beverly & Maze, and The Gap Band. Throw in McFadden & Whithead's "Ain't No Stopping Us Now" and the list is complete. All I need is a beat and a drink and I'm good to go and ready to party.
Happy Memorial Day Folks!

This used to be the Roller Skating jam. We appropriated it a few years later for some mean Break Dance battles. Such a classic!!
Peace and SOUL...
A classic indeed! Thanks for coming through HSB! :)
OH yeah, when you hear them strings, you already know what it is. I love when Larry Gold and Black Thought remade this a few years ago for the compilation Larry Gold presents Don Cello and Friends. Larry Gold was the original string arranger for MFSB and the Philly International label, and I believe he arranged this joint as well. Dope post, you're right on the money! Classic!!
Damn I remember busting my ass several days at the roller rink with this joint playing
Thanks Digs - I gotta make sure that I check out the Larry Gold and Black remake.
EOP- Damn somehow I missed that this was the rollerskating jam. Thanks to you and HSB for pointing that out! :)
