Forgive me if the words are wrong, I'm notorious for puttin my own sh*t in when I don't know the real words.

first, re-read my post before sayin' I'm wrong

Fact is, the GCS drums are in the SINGLE & REMIX versions only. The ORIGINAL version, which is mostly acapella and also appears on the full-length ALBUM, has the Honeydrippers' loop running behind it beginning after the bridge.

I remember when Jazzie B hit the street in the late 80's that's when Redhead king Pin and the FBI came out with Teddy mix of Do The Right Thing, and Bobby Brown was messin with Every little step.

Soul II Soul Club Classics Vol 1 featured vocals from Carol Wheeler on Back to life and Keep on Moving.

The last great sound to come out of the uk.

I had that twin hype on profile records vinyl...but I was young and it is no good to me now...lol

The song "Back to Life" seemed like a staple song in a lot of mixtapes in the nineties....

also that group enigma dropped to with that song with the ill drums too.

side note big daddy kane's lean on me was in heavy rotation when twin hype was out too.

classic (the BDK joint that is)

Soul to Soul actually sampled "Pickin Boogers" for "Keep on Movin'". They used it again on the single "Back to Life" On the album "Impeach The President" comes in at the end of the acapella version, but that is actually part of the next tune. Dobie on production, yes it was the MPC60 too.
