Great Performance!!! I love this video for so many reasons. First, “Heartburn” is a kickin’ tune. Two, her voice is amazing. Three, the backup singers and band where killin’ it, and Four, she looked fabulous….and OH! those legs in silver shimmer.

1974, this song came out and my parents were all over it! We had all of Barry White’s albums, singles, various versions etc. Household name in our home I remember seeing Barry White on Soul Train and thinking to myself “….this brotha is a bad mutha”.

I LOVE THIS SONG! A definite departure from the usual punk sounds of the CLASH. RADIO CLASH has a much more funky beat with an 80’s rap influence. The song as a whole is the band’s tribute to New York rap acts such as the Sugarhill Gang and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five
