The lyrics are scarce and easy to remember, and that's because this song was meant for cook outs, barbecues, and disco's and that's it. Released back in 1978 off of her self titled album, this song went as high as number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and to number one on the R&B charts. It's got an undeniable groove, that bass line is some serious piece of work, and Cheryl's voice soars over the track with amazing energy.
This is one of my feel good songs, meaning when I need a pick-me-up I cue this puppy up and let it rip as loud as I can. Got To Be Real never lets me down, it always brings a smile to my face. A lot of that may have to do with me remembering all the fun I had on my roller skates. Enjoy!
Okay so I can't but help but want to dance in my wrap around dress and hustle with my heels that tie around the ankles!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I heard this in Central Park a couple weeks ago as the best roller skaters I've ever seen rolled and rocked their hearts out! lol It was a blast to watch.
