I’ve been trying to work out an artist/ title of a song from the late 1980’s.

Can anyone on the forum provide some assistance in this regard?

Here’s the basics:

The song was released around 1986?

I’m fairly sure that the artists were from New York.

Featured two sassy, confident female vocalists (I’m pretty sure it wasn’t salt’n’pepa).

The song featured a very upfront, brassy, strident production.

The hook to the song featured some really hard sampled horns that ascended in pitch up to the chorus “I’ve got to keep on, won’t slow down”, and then higher again (almost deafening), to a repeat of the chorus.

Any ideas?

From the lyrics alone my first thought was this but clearly not 🙂

Thanks, twonks.

(I had been struggling to figure out where the sample came from😳)

Great track.

Clapham is a long way from New York though 🙂

Check them out on this documentary from 1987

@easily:

That may explain why I couldn’t locate them in America’s ‘hot 100’ for 1986/7😳
