That song was soooooo popular in the L.A. area. At that time you could only hear it on the only 2 AM and 2 FM radio stations that played black music. It was very much segregated. Some of couldn't even listen to any of those stations because we were in the valley or too far away to receive that bandwidth. So early 80s funk was very much underground and it was exciting to listen to those radio stations whenever we could. This program played the entire songs, unlike Soul Train which always frustrated me when they cut off the songs. I was 15 when this song was released in late 1981, so I couldn't just go to a record store and buy tapes or records. Unlike today, you'd never hear many songs once they stopped being popular. No internet back then. But early 80s until about late 1983 was the epitome of the best funk there ever was.

Man this brings back memories, nobody in the country parties like Detroit and the early 80s were the epitome of Detroit partying with the Scene setting the tone. I truly hope a movie or documentary gets made about the Scene so the whole country can see what was going down in the D!

“THE SCENE” WAS DETROIT’S GREATEST MEMORY NEXT TO MOTOWN! 🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾

I remember coming home from Notre Dame High School in the late 80s and the Scene would come on in the late afternoon. Love the music.

Those were the days when people still wore clothes when they were dancing how awesome

I use to love when 6 o’clock came didn’t miss watching the scene yeeeeeessssss! AAAAAyyyyeee! D town doing it “GO HEAD” 💃🏾 🕺

While I was working at Canadian Top 40 radio station CHYR in the early 80s about 40 minutes from Windsor,I got a call from Nat Morris Scene producer RJ Watkins who left a message looking for a host of a show based out of Windsor. Trying to expand The Scene's reach into Canada. Unfortunately we werent able to take it any further..im sure it would have been great weekly fun. Enjoyed The Scene every night on 62.

My childhood right here! Detroit 1980s culture. It was a MUST that the TV has to be turned to channel 62 @ 6:00pm M-F.

Loved this show so much. I'd put it on right after dinner and my dad would say "what are you doing? I'd say changing the channel. It's 6 o'clock and it's time to rock." He'd just roll his eyes lol. Best dancers and loved watching.

I was 13 years old in the *✦7th GRADE✦* when this aired and was in Beaubien Middle school located on Wyoming and Pembroke. Now Im 55 years old🤔 I don't live in Detroit anymore but this brings back memories. I graduated from Mumford in 1986

I ABSOLUTELY love this video, brings back fond memories as a kid growing up in the D, watching the scene on channel 62, I can’t believe I still remember that…lol

Although I'm not from Detroit, this is reminiscent of how we moved, in DMV, or all over the country for that matter, during the 80s. Hairstyles, the fashion. the dance moves. I'm so glad I found this channel.

Oh how I would have loved to dance to all this music back then when it first came out, I bet the energy was unreal! ❤

"ARE YOU READY TO THROW DOWN?" "YESSS WE ARE!" I knew what time it was when I heard my granny watching this show at 6pm and I would run to the den to watch it with her. My granny loved music and loved watching the younger generation get down, for she was a dancer when she was young. My older cousin and her best friend got the opportunity to dance on this show a few years later in "87", and it was so exciting as a child to see them on T.V.! This generation here was so fly and classy that everyone of all ages enjoyed their talents, much different than today's generation of popular musical talents in America, it's just not suitable for the majority. However, I'm glad to have this as a memory of Detroit city, back when it was full of fashion, music, dance, and good times!

Just found this, used to watch this as a kid. I remember Fast Freddy, don’t see him here. Left Detroit in the 90s & the beings back memories. Wish I still had Mojo’s sets on tape too.

Nice Looking Brothers an Sisters

I'm from Detroit and I absolutely love the 80s. I was little during this time and don't remember this show. This era seems like SO MUCH FUN. I had a great time as a kid. I'm obsessed with the 80s. I'm currently watching BMF and they showed The Scene on there. I had to come to KZread to watch this.

Loved this show. I watched everyday after school. Never got to go but had friends on there once in awhile.

*Are you ready to throw down* ? YES, WE ARE!!!!! EAST SIDE TIL I DIE!!! GEEK GEEK THROW DOWN!! My cousin and I auditioned for The Scene in '84. I didn't make it because I could do all of the signature dances that their 'stars' were doing. I'm like 'well, where do you think I learned from?' Oh, well. STILL good memories, tho' ❤

D Train was banging throughout Detroit with hits.

Great era for D-Train an others. The vibe hooked on these beats for ever...

Get it ya’ll!!! Love it!!!

Man, I was still a kid saying "I can't wait until I grow up" and now I wish I could go back lol. We'd (my siblings) would be watching these shows and dancing along in the living room because we were too young to go 😆. Look at how CLASSY the ladies are dressed.

I was a 23 year old DJ on Yorkville in Toronto, when this song by D Train came bubbling up from the underground... and restored the Soul to Disco ...and ushered in the sound of what would later be called New York Garage, Chicago House, and Detroit Techno. It put the Black back in Disco. Memories indeed... 🎵👍🏾❤🔥👊🏾🎶
