"Sly Fox - Let's Go All The Way"

"Let's Go All the Way" is a song by American musical group Sly Fox. Released as a single in 1985 from their debut studio album of the same name, the record became a sleeper hit,[1] entering the top 10 of the singles charts in both the US and the UK the following year. Despite receiving considerable commercial and critical success, the group failed to match expectations with their later singles, and are sometimes referred to as a one-hit wonder. Original MTV veejay Martha Quinn has described "Let's Go All the Way" as "one of the funkiest songs ever".[2]

In its first release last year it didn't quite go all the way; in fact, it didn't chart at all. John Gorman, PD of WMMS in Cleveland, says it is 'one of the world's longest sleepers...'
