This recording is not merely a “song.” It’s an orchestral masterpiece.
lol no orchestra. all synth.
@@clintdavies491 Including the drums, oboe, and trumpets?
@@VicBoD hardly an orchestra is it. of course theres small additions but in general if you want be pedantic.. it wasn't a criticism more an observation, I actually love this track but an orchestral masterpiece it is not.
@@VicBoD Also that harpsichord!
@@VicBoD good question 🤔
I was 16 years old the summer of 1977, and Disco music was the power of the land.... everyone was full of fun , joy and love ... .the best days of our life. ... No like today
One of my best memories as a kid was when our fam went to Coney Island in Brooklyn, an amusement park where there was a ride called the Himalaya. The DJ played this song.... the dj played all the hits, people didn't even get on the ride, they just danced out there in front of it. Black, white, Latinos, everybody danced, young, old.....everybody. I was a kid back then, not old enough to hit the clubs or anything but this song brings back great memories of Coney Island and the Himalaya ❤
Thank you for reminding me! That is where I first heard this!!!! Different place for rides, yet the SAME Ride and exactly the same thing would happen, usually at night. All of the lights flashing, music blasting!!!! No one cared if they didn't have any more money for tickets for the rides LOL
Inspired by the great amusement park created in Brooklyn in the first half of the 19th century, a Coney Island was inaugurated in Havana in 1918. Today Cubans know it as Cocos Island. The Coney Island and the Havana Yacht Club were, at the time, the places with the greatest splendor and fun in Havana and Cuba in general. The Havana's Coney Island came to be considered one of the most famous attractions in Latin America. Some of the park's attractions were famous, among which its great Roller Coaster, the House of Crystals and the Star stood out. It was a memorable place where loves, fantasies and even disappointments arose.
Unfortunately, Castro and his Revolution in the eagerness of nationalizations submerged Coney Island in the immobile tide. In the 1980s it was modestly remodeled and Japanese equipment and board games were installed, but even then, it could not stand the test of time. The attractions ceased to be so and began to rust in the oblivion of the people. The “Parque Lenin” (I know, the infamous communist leader) began to fill the space with fun and leisure in Havana; while the Coney Island was disappearing until it was an annoying place to one side of Fifth Avenue, in the once wealthy Havana’s sector of Miramar.
Every time I brought this memory to my parents, they cry like babies because, they enjoyed as little kids the Havana’s Coney Island.
@@RayRay-be1pn Wow! Thank you for that hermano! I love hearing history like that 🙏🏽.
@@gojira444deathbreath9 I'm so sorry for taking this long to respond, but yes! It was a great time! No money needed, just chill right there in front of the ride and dance!
@@dex.cameron1855 No problem! Great memories!!
THIS SONG TAKES ME BACK TO MY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL YEARS. IN THE 70S THE FIRST TIME I BOUGHT LET'S ALL CHANT ON A 45, IT COST ME A DOLLAR.
👍❤
I "borrowed" my mother's 45
I've been playing this song over and over and over and I didn't realize back then (1978) how much musical and engineering studio genius it took to make it. Props to all those involved that had a hand in putting this song together. Such great memories dancing to this tune.
Funny how, during the time period (late 1970s) many people were criticizing disco as too electronic, pre programmed, shallow, artificial, lacking soul, etc 👎 (Unfair and unfounded criticism in my opinion)
But in comparison to how modern day pop music is created and produced, and especially how it sounds, this track seems almost quaint and old-fashioned. They are actually playing REAL instruments on this track! (Gasp! 😮) And very skillfully too, I might add! 😍👌 Definitely no lack of soul or feeling in this song. A lot of skill from everybody who worked on mixing and producing this track too. Thankfully Autotune didn't exist back then, so it wasn't used on this song! (Yay for real voices! 👏) No digital sampling used either 🤷♂️
Oh how I long for the simple, good old days of real instruments being played by real people 🙏 Back when singers had to actually sing 😍 Back when, if they wanted a horn riff on the track, they actually had to bring in a horn section 🎺
🙏🙏❤️❤️🌹🌹🏆🏆👍🏻
I made a ton of money in dance contests dancing to this tune. Love it and it brings back such fond memories. Those disco times were truly magical.
You lived this story. If those of the younger generation would ask you "why disco music had such a short life?" what would you answer them? Some of us understand that there were some controversy in the late years of that extraordinary music movement :/
Please, do a long winded explanation if you like :)
@@Kriegerdammerung in my opinion disco music had a relatively short life because of the difficulty of learning the proper steps in disco dancing. I specialized in the original New York Hustle style of disco dancing. It took a lot of work and it paid off handsomely. I think the younger generation would not have the patience or dedication to put in the work it takes to master that style of dance.
@@joesandoval2311 You answer was very correct to me. Thank you
@@joesandoval2311I was never a master of any style of dance, but if the music had a killer groove and I could move to it reasonably well and in sync, that was good enough for me. I'd never have the chops to be the next Travolta on Saturday Night 😅😅😅
While watching "The Eye's of Laura Mars" this music was played during a photo shoot in the film and I nearly jumped out of my seat when I heard the beat!
Yes!!! That was so cool, and totally fit in that scene!
I remember that too!
The Eyes of Laura Mars is on tv tonight.....I immediately thought of this song!🎉😮
Love this song especially the baroque section 3:55
Disco never died. It became House. And the beat goes on...
I just came from a House festival in Chicago and the music was crummy. They didn't play one classic oldie.
THIS ☝🏼☝🏼AND THANK YOU SOOO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR COMMENT! I TOTALLY AGREE!!!👏🏼👏🏼👍🏾👍🏾👍🏼👍🏼💯💯🎯🎯🥇🥇🏆🏆
It so good
Totalmente de acuerdo..
The CONGA sounds awesome in the intro!!
I love this dance, especially, the classical instrumental portion, which features, the piano, clarinet, electric harpsichord, and a baroque trumpet. It's like a classical masterpiece of music. I love it!!
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I always thought the trumpet reminded me of the theme from 'Dynasty'
You are absolutely right!!!
Weird combination certainly, .......but it works.!!!!
Oooh Oooh- Oooh Oooh!
Great point and I totally agree. A disco dance floor classic. Unfortunately for me my baroque trumpet broke.
Not too many songs incorporate pianos, flutes, harpsichords and trumpets in one break...this was a masterpiece ! YOU CAN TELL THAT HE WASNT SOME DJ WITHOUT REAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE INTRICACY'S OF MUSIC THEORY. THIS BOY COULD COMPOSE!
very amazing this break. I like all instruments and finally the harpsichords are genius
♥
And Bongos too!!! Such a surprising, fun song!
Too many geniuses during that epic decade.!!! So many that we hardly had any time to really enjoy them. But now we can really savor them and realize how much talent
went into the cuts.
Harpsichord - played by J. S. Bach. 😄
I just want to go back to the 70s for one night...maybe two...to the club...and dance. oh and party.
This is are generation, you had to be there!!!!
*The LONG version .................................YES !!!❤❤❤*
This was probably the most well put together song from the Disco days, musically. A group of Jazz musicians got together and put this masterpiece.
Take a look at the credits on the LP - basically the whole Local 802 A-list is there.
Unique song for Disco..still love it...
Well said it define the happiest time in modern history
Truly an epic masterpiece.!!!!
This was the musical hymn of The Palace club in Paris in the end of 70’s
From a bunch of deceptively elements, Zager put this epic slab of dramatic disco together. The throbbing re-entry of the electronic 'clavier' after the trumpet/clarinet break is pure inspired genius. ✨️
Club disco at it's best..
I haven’t heard in years and that is why needed to play this song!!
This was one of the first disco songs I listened to when I was young. Immediately I fell in love. I was only 10 years old. I’m 23 now ❣️
One of my FAVE songs to dance to at Studio back in the day!!
2020 is so over...but this song lives forever in our happy memories, sweating off excess energy on the dance floor!
Das ist für immer eine Erinnerung an meine Jugendzeit. Jetzt bin ich 59 Jahre alt und hör das immer noch
One of my favorite disco songs at the club. It was a banger😊😊😊
This was mt time. DISCO FOR EVER!
Uuuy, Gratos Recuerdos con 22 años , bailando en el Chapulín del Hotel Presidente Chapultepec en 1977 -78; hoy Presidente Intercontinental Cd de México.
Gracias!!!!!😊
Gracias 😊😊😊
Listening to this.....it’s like I only heard it yesterday when I was 17....is there a more powerful time machine than music? I’ll wait.......
This music will live on forever
MARAVILLOSO TEMA !!!!!
MARAVILLOSO TEMA..!!!!!
@kevin w happy music
@kevin w 🙂
... and one day☝️
You took to the Dance Floor with this one!
This is most definitely a classic,the instrumentals are phenomenal.
Super disco dance shout classic. Almost a religious chant with hand clapping. Extended version here is beyond belief. Definite club & tv classic. Ecstasy and mantra trance elements. Good disco mix. Danceable. Infectious party music. Used also in a movie. Luv the medieval section and tuff electro piano. Theme song basically for 70's, Disco. Thanks, Michael Zager, MZB band & crew, Zager singers, PS records. Such a crazy classic. Vive les disco & ultra disco freaks ....
Yes, yes, yes.
My local DJ would always play the extended versions of any disco hit, so much better imo !
The good old days definitely❤
This is honestly one of the best disco songs ever.
Just cool 😎👌♥️💯
Nothing like the old school Jams I grew up with ! Roller rinks, Mixing these Classics ! Memories.....
I like this version!!!
Such a great jam! So Studio 54! Thank-you Slayd5000! Some people just don't appreciate great disco!
Dang I'm 16 and have a old sole I love old school
That break at 3:59 is on point! Remember in The Bronx during evening block parties several times a week in the summer of 1978!
Was that also the Summer of “Son of Sam”? Exciting yet also scary times back then.
I remember this version of the song when I was a kid! It had that "Uh Uh Eh Eh" phrase before the line "Let's all Chant" The single version doesn't have it. Thank You so much for transforming a stuffy old forty-something into a 6 year old kid again! Albeit temporarily.
Me too
@@basmadchich7049 memories
Great memories of hearing this blasting away in the discos. Especially cause the sub-bass would be so loud and deep, I'd have to hold onto my drink to keep it from flying off the table lol 😊😊
Ultimate disco song!
tiffanys leicester 1977/78 banging tune, timeless classic.
Was at a disco party dressed as Travolta. When this song came on, I tossed that white blazer and danced it up!
This channel has all the jams
RIGHT ON DA BEST..!!!!!
We knew how to party and get on down back in the days. Get your groove on peace and love
All time classic disco sound!
Love the vinyl and turntables brings back some good memories. Stay Safe 👮🏻♂️🚔🚨
A totally Fabulous song!!!
Is it nostalgia of the golden age or this song is just fantastic? I can’t tell.
all of the above....
Yes!
Both ! And I remember Cerrone's Supernature and anything by Donna Summer blasting away in the discos at the same monents in time. Great memories. And soooo much better than hip hop crap ....😊
This is the only version I bought & played because the version they played on the radio was too short & cut up. This is the original, long playing 12" version . Still loving it in 2018
Obra prima !! Pode ser o som definitivo da era disco...
80 s disco for ever
70's
De verdad pasa el tiempo y no me canso de oir esta musica como dice el dicho recordar es vivir.
Musica adelantada a su epoca. Los arreglos son fenomenales.
Hoy dia, a mas de 40 años de su creacion, se sigue escuchando excelente.
👍👍👍🙏🙂👏👏👏🥰💓🥰💓
The instrumental part with the horn section and the harpsychord like sounds is just amazing, it takes musical culture to put it all together in a commercial sonng, something absent these days.
These days............everything is absent.,!!!!!
Yes sir the best when music was music
Agree !
Music is still music. Wtf does that even mean?
Uh, music is still music. And there’s still really good music, you just gotta look
Brings back memories!!!!
Your body, my body, EVERYBODY work your body...geez, I want to be in a club right NOW. Covered in glitter and sweaty from dancing. LOL
LMAO I hear you
beatiful song
LayLay Russell Glitter! oh yes...the fine gel with glitter suspended in it...I remember at the time [at age 15] knowing I should enjoy glitter while I could! -now, as an older person, glitter would just look wrong!! ;)
Lay lay Russell you hit dead on I wanna be in a club right now dancing and sweating those was the days
i heard '' everybody move Your body'' lol
Good old days
👍💯
Wow I have not heard this song in many years. It is like taking a time machine back to a happier time in life. Thanks for playing such good music.
Amazing Music... in big letters
This is absolutely bad ass!
💃💃💃💃💃💃
That is how I was getting down with that song "Let's All chant" int the mid 70's 1977 Micheal Zager band
I remember playing this song in my 1979 coupe d'elegance with tinted black windows heading up to the meadowlands race track in cold february to watch the trotters run and I had this song blasting on my stereo with the heat on high with a sultry italian lady by my side then afterward we drove over to Vincents in little italy for a late night soiree what a time
+Jim Hardigan
I can picture it, and it sounds like you had the world in the palm of your hand back then!
Love this version!!
Any one want to go back with me to 1978??
Absolutely!
My Dad helped to run a club in New Cross with a massive Disco ball and as a kid I remember jumping up and down to this.
The Michael Zagar Band

Many memories my brothers favorite song Rip brother dance in heaven
Such a 'catchy' tune from the '70s. Sure was great growing in the '70s and '80s.
Aw dayum! I haven't heard this jam in about 30 years! This is the best music channel on UA-cam!
Brings a lot of good memories.

Love the 70’s , even tho I was born in the 80’s!
This is a great cardio workout song! Thanks for posting hun!
😘💋❤️
I can't believe this song just popped into My head as I was going to bed. I haven't thought about this song in 30 years. I figured I better UA-cam it before I forget about it again lol
Same here, this morning. I have not heard it since 1979...41 years!
We will always Chant!!!
MARAVILLOSO..!!!!!!
@@maria3348 Sí..!!!!!
Ram Jameson Happens. Happens. Very. Bye
Meraviglioso!!!!!
I've never heard this version before. I only heard the 7" version. The first time I've heard this version was in the movie Eyes Of Laura Mars.
Section from 3:55 to about 4:50 lives in my head rent free since this song was released…
STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAVE LOVED THIS SONG SINCE IT FIRST CAME OUT.
Wow maravilloso saludos vuelvo a la música que nunca morirá saludos
this is the best disco in the world whish i had it on 12" thankyou for playing itt regards mark
I teach in a county which shares your last name!
Awesomeness
I cannot get over how amazing your record collection is AND how the pick-up and needle make them sound. This sounds great over the computer but I bet it sounds to die for over your actual system. Thanks again for the great music and the wonderful quality!
Wow I haven't heard this like forever
I adored this song when it was released. So amazing to see it in its full vinyl glory on that beautiful turntable there. And it's obviously been well looked after. The sound quality is amazing. Digital technology will never totally destroy this magic. I love this video so much ❤️👍👏👌
I still love this song. It's amazing. I still use it when I'm gonna check the acoustic, and the equalizer. When I put this song on and it sounds amazing then I know that I'm set up right.
De todos los vídeos que e visto este es el mejor muchas gracias por compartir
This song is incredible. I've just always felt like the song should have done more after the awesome break with the trumpet and harpsichord.
It's a disco song,not a jazz song!
I love that part of the song!!
J.S.Bach would have love it, I really mean that.
This song just transported me back into time. I'm 20 years old and I am inside of my first "swing-whichever-way-you-want" Bar Experience😛🤪🤤🥂🍾
Memories of my clubbing days.
Great tune 🎼🎶🎵
Such a gem!❤️❤️🕺🕺❤️❤️
Tempos de infância, bailes na matinê.. época boa que não volta nunca mais..... 1978.
Just unreal! Nobody will ever compose anything like this again.
❤ BRINGS ME GOOD MEMORIES
One of my favourite song
Masterpiece
