2:48. That break right there! Maaan, Larry would loop that break over and over and over and we danced to it forever. I thought that was the whole song for years. Thats a Paradise Garage dance classic. Took me a while to find out what the rest of the song was. Heard the entire song at a party many years later and when that break came in I almost lost it! 😂

Ones, Palla dium, Bentleys, Leviticus, Pegasus, to name a few -- so many others I can't recall but remember the locations. You had to grab someone and get on that dance floor when this break loop came on. I wish I could go back in the past 1 to a million more time.

Every block party or what we called JAMS in the the parks in NYC lost it when the DJ's played Bra. The whole darn 10 minute version. Yees 🕺 💃 😅😊 Shout out to Cymande one of the greatest legendary bands that came from the era of professional musicians. ❤❤

I have been blessed to have 1. Frankie Crocker/WBLS. 2. OLDer sister 3. Mom for that LOUD silver FISHER stereo... I don't know what was 1st, the radio plays or STARES at thee CYMANDE album!! Love THE BREAK yes, but still ADORE the whole song!! In my top 50 of all time...out of thousands! but its ALLRIGHT!!

This record was blaring outside someone’s car stereo in 1972 Philadelphia, when I received my first bloody nose from an intimidating bully. I’m a click from 60 now, and pack intense heat. Now, I love this track. We’ve come a long way, Cymande. (And we have still gone on!)

i remember being at the world and the dj (was it frankie knuckles - dont remember) played the extended break, and extended the break for like 10 - 15 minutes... everytime the drumroll was about to peak the bassline would drop again! it was crazy! he probably could have kept it going forever... one of my favorite cuts of ALL TIME! Thanks to Danny for extending it, thanks to cymande for making it!

I first heard about Cymande from Paul Winley`s Super Disco Brakes which were bootlegs. I then proceeded to buy as much as I could from the band. If it wasn`t from a bootleg then I might never of known about them. I think it`s more important that labels are stopping tracks being played on KZread when it is one of the only ways that people will get to hear classic tunes and then go out and buy them. We`re in danger of losing good music for ever. Record labels and publisher`s take note!!

Takes me all the back to 1977. PS. 297 playground. Park Ave. between Marcy and Tompkins. Brooklyn. 16 years old and finding out that I could compete for the girlies. Lots of fun back then. DJ's would bring the music, and somehow everyone knew. Didn't even need cell phones....

This was the joint back in the days when everything was carefree.

Jammin/feel good tunes like this is timeless more from recent generations should appreciate

"But its all right we can still go home"......The Soul of Rasta!!!

This shit right here..........Primal, Transcendental, timeless.....if this don't make you move you are hopeless!

I've been singing this song for Forty Years Strong!!! The heart of break beat music, beat boy dancing to the break beats of these wonderful song. The Father of Hip Hop!!!!

This is the Bra mix I love!

1970,s Seven Crowns,11th Div,running through 40 projects 15 and loving NYC

2019. December 25...I bought this in 1977(?)... the message has found me again...

I fell in love with this banger at thee age of 10 years old growing up in Buffalo, NY, and heard it on a car commercial the other day. My sister and I never knew the name of this song -- we just remembered the beat. I had to research and so glad I found it. There was a documentary done on the band last year and the UK newspaper, the Guardian, did a very nice article on these brothers which you can find online.

Love that damn cow bell! This jam drove us wild as we be bumping to this, sweating like hell at La Martinique NYC!

I just listened to that break 4 times ins a row...the birth of every mix ever

Frankie T. (Brooklyn NYC in ATL 1978!) would remix Bra with Herman Kelley’s ‘Let’s Dance’, ‘Soul Makousa’, ‘Hollywood’ by the Village People, ‘Apache’, & more matching up the percussion almost seamlessly. Hassan of Brooklyn, would have the microphone spontaneously rapping dance directions. I’ve thought of these dance moments thousands of times through the years, reliving them in my head, projecting them onto an imaginary dance-scape

Memories if being a little girl on a 100 degree Summer Day..In Brooklyn..Confined to the stoop..And somebody jamming this song somewhere.

My Junior High School jam! During our lunch breaks and during study hall, my friends, and siblings would put this jam on and we all would all be dancing, even the teachers! Black, white, Latino guys and gals! Great happy memories of my school years!

Yes only the REAL GEES listen to this type of CLASSIC Tunes. And talking about Real GEES, Cyndi Lunsford take a bow cos your your stuff period. I was in Secondary school in Ghana and as I recall I couldn't wait for my pocket money to go buy Cymande album. Yes for discos, just like Cyndi said earlier, you play Bra, followed immediately by Fence walk by Mandril then Soul Makoussa by Manu Dibango then I get Lifted by KC and Sunshine. By this time the crowd is getting wild and screaming for more so make a decision whether to keep it Up Tempo or drop to mid tempo for smooching bank then. Hmmm
