Yeah we are ,loved shakatak Down on the street

Brings back the endless summer night parties with barbecues, flowing beer and long careless days on Agamy beach Alexandria, beach racket and bikinis...my early 20's. A care free part of my life and a whole society that's gone now. God bless!

I have met some of the members of shakatak they were lovely very nice people they kindly signed a 💿 CD for me

Her voice is crisp and clear, just love it!

R.I.P Steve Wright dj introducing this song, always had his humours way with introducing songs.will be missed.

THIS IS REAL MUSIC!!

That woman is superb,this song is brilliant....

Ah the brilliant Shakatak... Bill Sharpe, Jill Seward & Co belting out the summer anthem of 1984 as far as the clubs and beaches were concerned. This track was heard thumping out of our "Ghetto Blasters" and car radios. Shakatak were even better live - absolute privilege to see them live in concert. I bet Bill and Jill chuckled at Steve Wright's opening remarks here...

I seen Shakatak at The Jam House Birmingham last week. We all had a great night.

Totp on a Thursday night, payday Friday, straight down to a great record stall in Rochdale indoor market, great times. The kids of today do not know what they have missed out on. The charts meant something. What a great era!!

Great memories. I was 24, had a job I loved, great friends and out literally every night. Such happy, carefree days!

Great Song. Makes me Happy.

Love the group and she looks incredible.

The best era of TOTP. Early-mid 80s so much great music. And TOTP at its most pomp. 1984 is the peak musical year for me. This song takes me to my Summer holiday. Great underrated band. Used to love all their early 80s smooth jazz. Also if you listen carefully there is a background chorus that goes Down on the street (shoutin' ..talkin'.. laughin' ...down on the street) Down Down on the street (snappin' fingers dancin' ...down on the street) Down. Down on the street (shoutin'.. talkin'.. laughin' ...down on the street) Down Down on the street Down. i havent heard it live though...

sam murphy Yes, they're a great band, good fun fir socialising, Bill Sharpe has been especially kind to me, sometines putting me on their guest lists. The Stables is close to my heart, it was indeed literally just a stable when I went to music camp there in the 70s, I'm from Stony Stratford and would regularly be shipped off to see the Dankworths sometimes at at their homes. Shakatak are terribly underrated.

the 80s were one big party im so pleased and feel so blessed i was there to enjoy it thankyou god thank buddah thank everybody thankyou happy times and thankyou shakatak

Yesssss back in 1984 good memory,s and this group is in my 1984 list

Spot on mate ❤❤

UN-believable. I spent so many years trying to figure out this song. I probably heard it in Early 85 while still in the second year of secondary school (would have been 13 going on 14 at the time). Absolutely loved it back then and it has been popping up in my head over the decades. Then I was trying to search 'Scout In The Street' a few times over the last decade or so, and just couldn't find it. And now, I'm laughing because it is Shakatak. Must have been my brother playing this on the record player back then because he had some Shakatak. I've waited years for this moment. I was honestly starting to think I might not ever hear it again. Managed to knock two tunes off that list in one evening. The other one was 'Julia And Company' with the song 'Breakin Down'. I love the internet.

Those are the words that mainly popped up in my head over the years. I happened to search that when the song popped into my head yet again after I found this Shakatak song. So glad I found it.

Such a great song. Still sounds fresh.

Unbelievable music of this quality was once a mainstream

Love shak a tak ! Great music for your car stereo!

J adore la voix l orchestration le tempo la beauté de la chanteuse la chanson le groupe c est magnifique de bon souvenir C est la chanson qui me rend de bonne humeur

Back in the day, Shakatak were all you ever used to hear on the radio back in the early eighties. They were that good! Their music is typical of the period. Jazz funk, slappy bass with some lead guitar and keyboards from Bill Sharpe. They had few changes in their line up, but it didn’t dampen their amazing ability to churn out the hits. Loved em and as so many still keep saying, there ain’t nuffink like it out there today more’s the pity!

Great track from back then love all jazz funk tracks. This was during my RAF days takes me right back to great discos on the base. Always lots of locals come there too there were no discos around, so the base was the place to be.

A shame the official video isn't on KZread, it's all done in one continuous shot, very clever.

Looking for the TOTP clip where the then BBC DJ Simon Bates introduces Shakatak and their new song then helpfully points out how hot he finds the singer!
