Absolutely true Jill, I often listen to it. But What has replaced funk and disco? In reality nothing has replaced all that positive energy.

Oh God!!!! I know I was born in the right era.... woooo thank you Lord. I grew up in a time when the best music was made.

Born in 68. Grew up with 70’s parents. Nothing is like the best.

All these years later it is STILL one of the best funk , disco, dance songs EVER ! Brings back memories of Bed Stuy, Bklyn, NY, when WWRL & WBLS were at their all time best and all those REAL block parties!! Who needs this rap / crap so- called hip hop music.

This never gets old ❤❤❤

Love these bands from the 70’s- so much talent, it’s unreal.

So many memories dancing to this at nightclubs... and it was a HUGE hit on the dance floor. Everyone got up to dance. And when I was going to clubs, this song was already over 20 years old!!

Funk music : collective music for collective people ! The best in the history of modern music

Saw these at Hammersmith Apollo in the 70`s. Oh those really were great times! IF IT MOVES - FUNK IT!!

Dont stop...keep the Grooooove....OMG I can remember getting on down and losing my young soul to this fab track way back in the mid 70s in the New Penny Disco in Queens Road Watford near London England....I hope the DJ from that club and that time is still alive today to tell the story from his side....Glory days boys and girls thats what they were....and I want to go back and do it all again....P&L....Clive....

Respect the old school, you are only 16yrs old & have not touched the surface of life yet. Hopefully you will come to life & understand that these types of classic funk tunes are classic & most if not all bands from the 70's played for the love of music & had more talent on their pinkys than most if not all artist of today. "RESPECT THE OLD SCHOOL"

Classic 70s funk , memories of my childhood . A white boy from Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) who loves black music , soul / funk / disco / Rnb . One of my favorites is "Lady T" , Teena Marie (R.I.P) a white girl from cali with soul !!!

I'm still waiting for the bus, but when it sounds this good i'm happy to wait.

Man...I was 4 years old when this came out. Inherited the 45, and it cracked in several places...I've got to get this one again! If today's musicians took a tip from the older ones and built upon what was already in place, and truly enjoyed what they did instead of focusing on their advances and how much bling can be bought, you'd see music advance like never before! After all, it's not about how much equipment you have but what you can do with it!

Not only this tune hard but I'm in love with the lady in the group.

Thanks LARRY GRAHAM for making the bass the lead instrument, the instrument that everybody just loose their minds and booty's too. THE FATBACK BAND was the group that took this mans lesson seriously and literally, this monster of bass playing is not disco but have the drive that disco has but with none of it's commercial and hated signature, instead it's one of the most infectious groove funk ever has come up with. Let me quote "try and walk across the room normally when listening to this".

Since when did Paul McCartney try to popularise funk music? 😂😂😂 BAHAHAHAHA You do understand what MELODIC means, don't you? Dude, stop trying to blame all white people of ripping off black music. It's called SHARING cultures, dude! Or weren't you ever taught about sharing cultures and respecting each others cultures for what they have to offer. And making it into something new and great, regardless of the colour of your skin. Good grief, some people are clueless when it comes to respecting great music from around the world.

This would have to be the best dance song ever written to get a party started!

lol ... this brings back 80s school disco memories!!

SO FUNKY! I'm a teenager of the70's...we had SO MUCH FUN!!!!!

Wow can't believe I'm still here in 2020 & re loving this all over again. As a kid I spent hours doing the dance. Listen to the musical instruments, the clothes the moves. Outstanding.

I dedicate this song to a brilliant friend of mine that was the Queen of our school dances. We decked ourselves out in fashionable flower pants. Good times. Dig.

❤ So happy to have come of age to the best ever music !

I remember when r&b was r&b and now rap is called blues . This is pure disco music

A while back, I had an immobilizing back injury that laid me out for three weeks. When I finally started to get better, this song and Aretha Franklin's "Rock Steady" would run through my head. When I'd fully recovered, one of the first things I did was dance to this shit. Invigorating.

Thanks so much Funkonaut for the share, this was my first recording ~ the guys and I had a blast recording this LP and the video.

Street funk at its best, saw this band in 1985 at Hammersmith Odeon, Steve Walsh was compare and Radio London was there too. What a night, the whole place was moving, RIP Steve Walsh, you what, you what you what😊

I DJ'd at a New Years Eve House Party 2007/2008 and I play this. THE PLACE WENT NUTS!!! All ages were up dancing.........soon as the intro started they were on the floor. Timeless!!!!!!!!

First heard this in the Get Down. A shame Netflix cancelled it and didn’t promote it. Really good music.

Bought this record the day it came out in Contempo music London. Play it now still goes down well CLASSIC

back in the days when you had to have talent to play instruments as nothing was electronic, i grew up with this in the seventies when i was at school we always had this playing at the school disco's loved those times great music from great artists.

Remember dancing to that, loved it!! What actually was 'The Bustop' lm thinking now 40 years later!!!

Bygone days of the sounds of Real Funky Jem that you could really dance to 👍👍👍👍

Went see these last night. What an amazing gig. Stepped on the funk mothership and was abducted for a marathon funk session! Still aint touched the ground yet!

What great memories dancing to this when I was a teenager. Black people have all the beats and grooves. Such a talented band. Just love them. Also love the Stylistics too!!! ❤❤
