Overheard in a cafe the other day, but the sound wasn't clear enough for Shazam to work.

The chorus was built around the words "Take it... take it...", but I don't think there was another word in there (so it's not 'Take It Off', or 'Take It Light'). It sounded like early 80s brit-funk/disco; at first I thought it could be Narada Michael Walden, but it's not his "Take It To The Bossman", but I think it was similar in style.

I've scoured youtube, but no luck.

Any ideas gratefully received...

Sadly not... but what a great track, I'd completely forgotten about it.
Thank you!

(I should've said in the original post, it was definitely a male vocalist.)

Again, great tune (big Shalamar fan here), but unfortunately not the one I'm after. It was more stripped down, and I'm sure it wasn't a hit in the UK.

Thanks for replying, though.
