U're The One 4 Me (a Discobody loud shout)
New York based duo D-Train released their first single "You're The One For Me", mixed by François Kevorkian, in late 1981 on Prelude Records. It was an instant success, hitting #1 for three weeks on the U.S. Hot Disco/Dance chart in Jan 1982 and #13 on the U.S. Soul chart. It also entered the UK Pop top-30. Larry Levan hammered it and made it a determinant Paradise Garage anthem.
Among those who sampled it over the years are N.W.A. for their 1988 “Something 2 Dance 2”, Heavy D & the Boyz for their 1991 “Swinging With Da Hevster”, Pete Rock for his 2001 “Take The D-Train” and Prodigy for their 2004 hit “Girls”.
It’s one of my 10 all-time fave dance tracks. The beat is sizzling hot, the bassline rules, the synths are dominant, the lyrics are so inspiring and James "D. Train" Williams’s voice is fascinatingly rich, this track is perfection through and through.
On this mix you get lots of different sounds, extra percussion/bass/bells, longer funky intro, more breaks & reformed bridges and spiritual outro. Enjoy the loud shout!
This version’s lyrics:
“Get up
Get up on the funky D-Train
Funky D-Train
Bustin' up on a cloud, shout out loud
You're the one for me
With your love by my side
The world will be mine
You're the one for me
With this true love I found
Picks my feet up off the ground to fly away
With this true love my dear
Takes away my every fear, don't go away
You just don't know what you did to me
But I'm not the same
Since you gave me
Love that's sheltered from the rain
You just don't know how you make me feel
Your sweet lovin', girl, is so unreal
I've got love, love desire
From your lovin' my soul's on fire
Bustin' up on a cloud, shout out loud
You're the one for me
With your love by my side
The world will be mine
You're the one for me
You're the one for me, yeah
Ooohhh, the one for me
I got to stand on up for your love
I got to stand up
For your love
Yeaaahooo!
I'm ridin' on a cloud
Got to shout it out loud, you're my all
Baby, hold on tight
For the rest of my life, don't let me fall
You just don't know what you did to me
But I'm not the same
Since you gave me
Love that's sheltered from the rain
You just don't know, no, how you make me feel
Your sweet lovin', girl, is so unreal
I've got love, love desire
From your lovin' my soul's on fire
Bustin' up on a cloud, shout out loud
You're the one for me
With your love by my side
The world will be mine
You're the one for me
With the love I have inside of me
We can turn this world around
We can live through all eternity
And we'll never touch the ground
We'll take a chance to ride upon a star
To a place that's far away
The light of love will shine on us
Forever and a day
You're the one for me, yeah
Ooohhh, the one for me
Get up on the funky D-Train
With the love I have inside of me
We can turn this world around
We can live through all eternity
And we'll never touch the ground
We'll take a chance to ride upon a star
To a place that's far away
The light of love will shine on us
Forever and a day”
