Today is my Birthday. I was born in 1974. I have been listening to songs that were out around may '74.

THE FUNK NEVER DIES!

Without a doubt the most successful solo artist from The Temptations.

I remember skating to this song at the Roller Rink on Saturday nights back in 1974.... ❤️

Eddie Kendricks born a raise in Union Springs Alabama move to Birmingham Ala if it weren’t for Paul and Eddie it wouldn’t be no Temptations we love u and miss u Rip Eddie James Kendricks ❤😢 1939-1992

Boogie Down was Eddie Kendricks’ second number one R&B smash for three weeks on February 9-23,1974 ending Eddie’s former group the Temptations’ one week run with Let Your Hair Down. Then afterwards,Eddie’s three week run ended when the Spinners replaced him at the top with Mighty Love. On the pop charts,Boogie Down has just missed being his second number one smash peaking at number two for two weeks exactly one month later on March 9-16,1974 right behind Terry Jacks’ Seasons In The Sun.

A great overlooked recording by Kendricks..even though it did hit # 2 on the charts...one of the best dance songs ever!!!! dig it!!!

❤️ this legendary 1970s r&b dance song

On this day in 1974 {April 27th} Eddie Kendricks performed "Boogie Down" on the nationally syndicated television program, 'Soul Train'... At the time the song was at position #39 on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart, eleven weeks earlier it had peaked at #1 {for 3 weeks}... The song "Boogie Down" replaced at #1 was "Let Your Hair Down", which was recorded by his former group, the Temptations... And on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, "Boogie Down" peaked at #2 for two weeks, for the two weeks it was at #2, the #1 record for both of those weeks was "Seasons In The Sun" by Terry Jacks... Between 1971 and 1988 the Alabama native had twenty-six records on the Hot Soul Singles chart, nine made the Top 10 with three* reaching the #1 position... Besides the above "Boogie Down", his two other #1 records were "Keep On Truckin'" for two weeks in 1973 and "Shoeshine Shoe" for one week in 1975... Sadly, Edward James Kendrick passed away at the young age of 52 on October 5th, 1992 {lung cancer}... May both he and Don Cornelius {1936 - 2012} R.I.P. *He just missed having a fourth #1 record when his "He's A Friend" peaked at #2 for three weeks, and for the three weeks it was at #2, the #1 record for those three weeks was "Disco Lady" by Johnnie Taylor...

I haven’t listened to this for years, I didn’t realise it was 73,Motown had some great Disco releases - the firs 7” single at the front of 1 of my two record boxes is Love Hangover by Diana Ross from 75ish it’s way ahead of its time and stood the test of time just like this tune. The later years lots of artists/groups/ jumped on the Disco train, but just shows how good the groove was. - Chic were a saviour ‘At last, Disco with some style’ that’s what I said when my older brother played the record he’d just bought - Dance Dance Dance (Yowsah x3) Soz, once someone mentions Disco I can go on a bit : ) . Yep so 1973 early years : ) I’m wondering now what year the term ‘Disco Music’ appeared.?

@@FUNKINETIK I believe prior to 1973 it was called "discotheque rock". An article in Rolling Stone talking about symphonic R&B music being played in discos. The rest is history. Check out, "Win, Place or Show", by the Intruders, 1972. After some serious studying, this is the first completely disco song. Although, the Theme from Shaft is right there. I consider myself a disco aficionado… Lol… Cheers

@@11dsw You just mentioned my fave instrumental, 12/13 years old in school and the music teacher told the class to bring a record in each for everyone to listen to.. Issac Hayes it had to be, especially as that’s my surname- fun hearing ‘Who’s the black private dick that’s a sex machine to all the chicks’ in the classroom : ) I was never able to buy lots of records but the few I did I’m really proud of especially 12”singles. Yep the Intruders, my older brother had that record, I remember it well. Rock the Boat the Hues Corporation was the first tune I heard that I associated with Disco when I was a kid. Pleased that it has stood the test of time.

I love that man's voice. Him and Curtis Mayfield.

Amen to THAT! They were my two favorites...I saw Eddie live at the Temps Reunion Tour, but I never got to see Curtis. I regret not doing so.

":Keep On Truckin" was a #1 hit. Though this was the followup and reached #2, it, as far as record sales are concerned, was the bigger of the two hits because it lingered on the charts longer.

This reached #1 too - in Cash Box and Record World. The US equivalent of the UK's New Musical Express and Melody Maker - given that Billboard which kept this at #2 is the US version of the UK's "Official" Charts.

we had the most pimpest music ever..

Classic

great song from a great man

I personally like it better than his previous "Keep on Trucking".

Mr. Thatcher, you've answered all the questions correctly so far, would you like to go for the million dollar prize? Why, Yes, yes I would who's the drummer on boogie down baby. Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock tick to talk
