It's everything you'd expect from a Frankie Knuckles track, great piano, great rhythm accompanied with some very catchy lyrics and some great vocals from Roberta Gilliam.
It was remixed by David Morales and produced by Todd Terry hence with 3 house music legends involved it was bound to be special.
Top class house music - just as we love it!!
"Work out in the morning, work out in the evening, workout, take me higher"
"Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby,"
"Workout, do it baby, make me crazy, workout, lift me higher"
"Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby,"
Come on!!
Frankie Knuckles Featuring Roberta Gilliam - Workout
(1992 Vocal Mix)
Not one of my faves by FK song wise but nonetheless a great track with the added bonus of Eric Kupper on keyboards.
ReplyDeleteUsed to wear this one out in the clubs!! The kids used to stomp loud when I played this. Really loved it, even though it wasn't "lushy" like some of his beautiful piano laden works.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Kristine. I have been looking for this song for years. Thank you, thank you, thank you
ReplyDeleteQué buena canción!!! Es de la época de cuando estaba cursando la secundaria. Inolvidable, y que hermosa que sonaba en las discotecas cada vez que la pasaban. Excelente el pianito y la voz, bien house.
