Man this takes you back to simpler carefree times! The Sylvers were the BEST!

Don't care what you think, nothing today can even scratch the surface of the talent, music, or dance of the 70's and 80's. God I miss it.

I COULD NOW SEE LEON'S INFLUENCE ON THE SHALAMAR!!

This is how we did it back in the 70's and early 80's. Everyone had their own style, moves and grooves. Everyone loved to dance and watch other do their thing. There was no hating or disrespect. Just great music and great dancing. I've heard many of The Sylvers songs, but surprisingly, I don't remember if we owned any of their albums.

Just saw the Unsung episode on this most talented family...and this song was the JOINT back in the day...I remember this on Soul Train....as the youngest of seven kids....we would JAM to this song...good grooves to move to....that's what I'm talking about....OLE' SKOOL FOR LIFE!

great song , but I preferred Boogie Fever

im 22 years and i discovered how catchy this song is at work, so I looked it up here and I found this video, and I must say I love it the way they dance. school dances when i in high school were nothing like this. i love learning about history and other cultures and this video reminds me of why i love it so much.

Say what you will about 70's fashions, but they sure knew how to dance back then!

When I saw Unsung last Monday they shown a clip of that song from another show. Oh I wished I could see that entire performance. It is one of my fave songs. Even though I was 14 years old, it reminds me of the Class of 1977.

The Unsung clip was from the Dinah! Show and nearly impossible to find.

And don't forget that Jody Watley had a daughter by Leon, the 1st child for both of them and Leon was so fine then and still is very musically talented while Jody still got it going on, much love to them both!

I'm now 65 yrs old. I love this song in my younger yrs and still❤it today. ❤Philippines

LOVE the pimp boots right at the end! OHHHH the Seventies was a STYLE decade! LOL

Wish I'd been around for this... I grew up with Top of the Pops in the UK... not quite the same! Hell yeah, great tune and awesome moves! Bring it on!

This song would mix perfectly with "Saturday Night" by the Bay City Rollers cause it's got that stomp beat boom boom boom!

Oh my God ! This takes a brother back to about 9 or 10 as a boy and watching Soul train on Saturday afternoon. I C U Jody Watley and Jeffrey Daniels of Shalmar fame 1:56

William, you didn't have to be "Country" to watch "Hee Haw". Born and raised in the Hood but I was the youngest child of too many and Hee Haw was one of the few shows that made me sit down and laugh instead of torturing my family. Though I could tell my momma (and others in the family for that matter) liked it too, she just used me as an excuse.

@ :16 - It's Jermaine Stewart...check out his songs...wow wee

The sylvers were straight fire🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

Wow...I did not know that...I always thought that Leon's first child was with Nidra Beard of the group Dynasty.....(I remember back in the day when I met them at a club in Philly, that's the girl who was on his arm) I also thought that that child (the one with Nidra) is the same crying child you hear in the background on the KZread clip of The Sylvers being interviewed by Dick Clark on American Bandstand.....Thanks for the post!

The ‘70s and early ‘80s had the best dance music ever! I was a HS junior when this came out. I came out 5 years later!👬

Man...skinny was so in...I was also 130lb half a man less...my favorite Sylvers song never got much play in Chitown heard it when I was away at college.

Love this song. Looks like they used to tape like two or three shows at a time. Same clothes on from a different clip I saw for High School Dance(not dancing to it on the Soul Train line , just them dancing to the song on Soul Train)

The Centric Channel has aquired the rights to the vintage Soul Train program. But sadly, they continue to air the same performances of "A-list" stars, from the 70's, such as James Brown, Aretha Franklin and The Jacksons. This show regularly, welcomed a number of great (black) artists and bands, such as The Sylvers, who left a legacy of great music, and captivating performances, seen no where else! And they need to show them!

I wish getting into dances still costed only a $1. Now ladies can get in free at clubs if they're there at a certain time!

Takes me back to the good times :-)

Right-On! That's what I call Real Fun! 70's Alright!

Ultra cool!

I wish parties were like this today. I am 16 years old and is tired of seeing girls popping it low on the dance floor. I watch soul train all the time(I have the soul train collection) and practice moves like the funky penguin , wishing I lived in the 70s and 80s.

Haven’t heard that other than in my memory since the early 70’s

you cant help but get up and dance on this....wooyt-woot

Ahhh! Dancing in the high school cafeteria, all my classmates in the 70’s no murders, no fights, teacher’s chaperoned and some danced. Glorious days, priceless!

YAY!!! Thanks for posting this again.

A song with *actual humans clapping* instead of a single sample of clapping triggered by a drum machine! I remember they played this at my junior high dance (1979) during a dance contest that looked a lot like this. Couples took turns dancing down the line while everyone clapped and cheered them on. The biggest difference was that we were the *whitest damn kids* anywhere in America.

I saw Jeffery Daniels and Jodie Watley dancing!!!!

My dad had this on record.. I remember loving this as a kid

Soul Train was the BOMB! Everybody had their own thing going on and notice of course the line just jammin' in step til it was their turn to shine. I so glad I grew up in the 70's! I can't even go to a club anymore without men trying to brush their PACKAGE against me.(Yall ain't slick either). I guess that's the new come on these days.

I heard this song in Ace Hardware today and still knew the words.

THATS WAS JERMAINE STEWART WHO SANG .. YOU DONT HAVE TO TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF( To Have A Good time) HES THE FIRST DANCER R.I.P. JERMAINE!

I have an embarrasing smile going on right now!! WOW

ah the memories :)

@DiscoKween...do you happen to know who this couple is at the :54 mark? I remember loving to watch Soul Train, and at 14 back in 1976 or so, this was my favorite couple. She is in the black pants with the cute vest and white shirt. He is in the black pants and black zip up shirt. I never remember hearing their names or them being interviewed. Elegant couple!

Look !!!!!!!!at 1:56 its Jody Watley and Jeffrey Daniel what a dancing pair!!!!!!!

O! The times we had back then!!!

The Soul Train line!

you kow after hearing this i think it could be redone today. the chorus with the arrangements has a beyonce all the single ladies feel about it.

I USED TO LOOK FORWARD TO THIS DANCING ON EVERY SHOW CAUSE I WOULD TRY ALL THEIR MOVES WHILE I WAS BABY SITTING FOR THREE KIDS FOR $1.00 AN HOUR FOR ALL THREE. AND I WAS 15 YEARS OLD. THOSE WERE STILL GOOD TIMES.

@dh1173 Jody has two children. Her oldest is with Leon Sylvers and the other child was with Andre Cymone. I wasn't aware that she had a child with Leon until someone posted that information on here. I had to do some research on the net to determine if it were true.

@loverution Thanks. WhatEVER she is, she was BAD! You and most of the guys who WATCHED the show most likely enjoyed watching her. They knew what they were doing when they cast her. If you wake up in the middle of the night, say around 3 or 4 am, you're likely to catch an episode of Soul Train on Bounce TV. You can't figure out what you enjoy the most: the styles and fashions or the dancing. And it was just a classy show, from the HOST (Classy Don C) to the credits. And I love the little train!

YES! Hell yeah!

I try and move like that like I used to I'd break my neck AND my back...lol
