What's that 80's song

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Of 4 (0r 5) black men (ageing), that were legends in the 60's/70's, singing in the street a la Donna summer she worked hard for the money style? I don't know if it was four tops or another soul group. Anyone know what i'm talking about? :conf:

[Alf]

only four tops song i can think of from 80s is going loco down in acapolco, but i dont think thats what your thinking of,

a few of soul groups from that era, the temptations, the drifters, the miracles, the all stars, if that helps

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Yeah it's definitely not down in Acapulco. I just youtubed and it's none of them. :bawling:
I think when they sang that 80's song it was considered like a huge comeback for that band. If I remember correctly most of them were wearing jean jacket and pants. :conf:

Was it a remix of an original song they did, or something completely new? I can think of some remixes and sample works that were recorded in the 80's. Was it soul/funk type of music? Was just looking through some videos and was reminded of this...

The hell :joker:

It was definitely an original, they were in the street. Soul. Maybe it sounded similar to nightshift/some other funky soul songs. They had a simple dance step too. Step in front, then side, then back..... Oh why can't I remember :bawling:

Was it The Temptations... did they notmake a comeback with "My Girl" when the film was released?

[Mrluvaluva]

The Commodores - Night Shift.
The Temptations - Treat her like a lady.

Any of them?

Erm..

[Lee.]

Was it maybe the Pasadenas?

The major that I absolutely remember is that the video was definitely them in the street :bawling:

[Lee.]

OMG! This will irritate me now!!

[Mrluvaluva]

[Lee.]

I know this isnt the answer.. I just wanted to post it because I think we should all enjoy the splendid dancing!

I'm so sorry. This has been bothering me for weeks. Even google imaged "60's soul sensations make a comeback in the 80's" no luck. :bawling:

[Lee.]

Do you think it could have been from an 80s movie soundtrack?

[Lee.]

In fact bugger it.. that dancing deserves a thread of its own

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Do you think it could have been from an 80s movie soundtrack?

Hm Could have been
