As a kid I was so fascinated with the intro. Had it on repeat. The menacing low synth with the kick and the laser sounds... Futuristic stuff! And then.. that groove.. Good memories!

I always remember listening to this tune, as a 10 year old kid. This was back in 1979, some time ago. This tune is still as good today, as it was in 1979. Brilliant.

Oh my word. I'm back in my NW London living room going crazy to this track and my dad's is looking at me like I'm mad. And I say to him Can you feel the force? Apparently he can't.

I saw them play this live as the supporting act to the Jacksons Destiny tour at the Rainbow in London. The stage was blacked out for 30ish seconds as the discordent intro was played with occasional flashes of couloured light, it was spectacular!!!

me too. I went wild for it aged 14, and am still wild for it at nearly 60.

Reminds me of Heatwave, one of the greatest bands of all time. also from the UK with the Wilder Brothers from Dayton Ohio USA 🤘

I used to street drag race with my Kawasaki in the late 70s when I was in highschool. This song was played so often by people next to the road that had a good stereo in their car. Great times.!!!

The force is strong in this one.... a great tune can you feel it?

A fantastic track. I recall this was regularly played at the Skatepark on Southsea Common in the summers of 79/ early '80's. Fantastic memories and iconic of that time. I'm 59 now! 😬🕺🛼🛼😄👌

time for a disco/soul revival

Is anyone out there still feeling the force of this great song that was ahead of its time?🚀☀💪

The bass starting around 5 minutes.... Classic

my force is fading, in the ageing, hollowed out, decrepid shell I call a body. My soul, however, is banging on; dialysing on the pure funk and energy of the Real Thing. I hope y'all can feel the Force.

Used to have this on 12" electric green vinyl back in the day. Superb group Supeb song from the Real Thing.

1978/1979...such great memories, pure gold!

Holy crap, these guys. Must have been around 2004/2005 and they were at a studio complex in Essex one of my old bands used to use (think they were using a couple of session musicians in the area). I have never heard anything so sublime since. Picture the scene of these 5 stinky shaven headed tattooed thrash/death metallers absolutely losing it to the sound of this wonderful band and their rich tones and amazing craft. Simply fabulous.

May the force be with you, but can you feel it? a real drilla killa of a track that was ripe for the Disco era, it certainly got everyone moving too, & that chorus Whoo hoo ooo ooo, great hook, great track from Liverpool's own British band, now you can really feel that force!

VERY GOOD , VERY MUSICS HAD THAT RHYTHM IN THE END OF THE 70 ´S

I'm playing this in a DJ club set tonight, I can feel it now as I'm typing this, when I put this record on the club's Reloop turntable and mix this in, THE CROWD WILL GO F***** CRAZY
