This gem takes back to the summer of 1974 ..9 yrs old ...man I miss my childhood years in the 70s such a great time in the world for the BEST MUSIC ..movies..tv shows and especially the Saturday morning cartoons...i miss you 70s.
1974, this year was one of my happiest one. Memories of living with my brothers and youngest sister, Nancy and mom. Miss mom alot. May she rest in peace. Like to listen to it. To reminis of those good old days. NICE song.
I know exactly what you mean. Both my parents died recently within months of each other and this takes me right back to a time I felt such joy and warmth
this song was a favorite of my best friend of nearly 16 years that I lost to covid back in july 2020 😢 it will always bring back memories of us kicking back and drinking some 🍺 🍻 during the weekend.
I am in love with this amazing song!! Makes me feel hopeful for finding a good man to LOVE!! Lord, have mercy on me after a long storm of suffering with health issues!! I love you Jesus!! Thank you for blessing us with feel good music that uplifts our souls from the pain of this crazy thing called life!! One Love!! Amen!! :)
There he is, back in dah daze. Ft. Dix, boot camp. ,me and dah Maniacs, we were called, just 2 get through dah grind, and loneliness; a town w / o w o m e n.
Man, I miss being a kid in the, '70's, playing outside, while my mom and her friends hung out, played Dominoes or Spades, while listening to songs like this. Wow. Such peaceful days.
Me, too. Yes, as another 1970s child, I miss the days of playing outside all day with your friends, unsupervised, until your parents called you in for dinner. Sweet freedom!
How can one not like disco? Certainly, because of its success, the genre was overexploited, and a lot of horrors ended up coming out. But at its peak, as on this title of George McCrae, it is simply a delight for the ears, as for the whole body, which has the impression of floating in foam. Ecstasy!
Ah the youthful carefree days of riding my bicycle while listening the the best music of the 70’s on my transistor radio on the farm as a 13 year old. (1975)
This is music with a difference. The world at the time enjoyed this particular track more than Americans and George McCrae himself. It was a job well done.
My Dad listened only to country music at the time this came out, but this was one song out of his country music world that he loved. He played it all of the time in juke boxes in every place we went in that had a juke box. I miss you so very much Dad. Every time I hear this I think of him. Great Song ! Thank you for posting this. Brings back a lot of memories for me.
This song entered Billboard's top 40 chart at # 40...first week out jumped an incredible 29 notches to # 11 then hit #1 3 rd week in the 40..biggest one week jump in Billboard history....May 74
Greg, I dug up the 70's Edition of the Billboard Charts and can confirm the song entered the chart on June 1, 1974 at #93, #62, #34, #15, #9, #4 and then #1 for the week ending July13, 1974 where it stayed for two weeks. Also, the distinction of the largest jump on the survey belongs to Jeannie C Riley, whose "Harper Valley PTA" entered the chart August 24, 1968 at #81, and was at #7 the following week, an astounding 74 point jump. That song was everywhere and proved Americans loved a good story song!
Well I will have blame Casey Kasem for the mis info because I heard that stat on AT40 THE SEVENTIES...his staff came up with that stat....keep up the good Work DiscoCat..I truly love Disco Purrfection!!
I get that! Each survey has their own reporting style, contacting radio station program directors to obtain data. I defer to Billboard, who have developed the science of hit music popularity.
I was 18 and in a night club in Brighton England when this was number 1......I still love this song 41 years later. But my lime green flared trousers no longer fit me...!!!!
Peter Dale I was 21 yrs old in the United States Marine Corps, dating the ladies like crazy. The ladies in Jacksonville, North Carolina (Camp LeJeune) LOVED to dance. At 62 yrs old now I can still dance, according to my granddaughter who loves to dance with me, to the 70s music.
He was a back ground singer in KC and the Sunshine Band, this song was originally for KC but his voice couldn't get that high so he gave it to McCray and the rest is history.
Carl Campbell...thanks for the info...u know the kc song around Christmas...it was over played on the radio ...don't get me wrong..l liked it ....but it was like having too much of a good thing.
Really? Good to know! I didn't know that! Background singer for KC & SUNSHINE BAND? We went to see KC & SUNSHINE BAND in concert at the OZARK Fairgrounds back in the early 2000s before KC's 60th birthday.
Good for you . Many fabulous songs from 70s. This was one of the best. This guy does some great extended versions of these great songs. Hope NYC is being good to you. Cheers.
Great words Silvia.I was on the scene mid 70's Lauderdale,Fla [aka..."The Dale"] would'nt trade that for a thing! he MMMMmmmm yeahhh still digging it ....Boom Bop ba doom Bop.......ba ba doom Bop !!!
Silvia bangerter sure I bet it was fun then too life was better for everybody then we had a colored TV that was appreciated so much then we were not spoiled like they are today
I wish I could have experienced dancing to disco music at Studio 54!! Wow!! The show on Netflix was amazing!! I was too young but my heart loves disco!! Thanks George!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️💋
Poopy Cat - if You don't know where You've been, You won't know where You're going. To act as if "the past is just a fantasy" is to disrespect history.
Yes nothing wrong with going back in time!! You must don’t know real soul music to make a silly comment like that… You can go back in time , just don’t stay there .
I was about 5 when this came out and remember dancing to it with my mum and dad, who both passed away within the last 5 months. I'm finding so much comfort listening to it right now. There was joy in our home back then and it takes me right back, with such a loving feeling in my heart
Love this song, I was about 3 years old when this song came out and my mom remembers me rocking back and forth in the car seat. I am 43 years old now and this music still stands the test of time.
Se non avessi tutte queste Paturnie... Salterei sul letto dell'ospedale e mi metterai a ballare. Mahhh che Bella È... sarà immortale questo Sound😘💋💗💖💙💚💚💛💜🖤
Increíble que con nuevas tecnologías en cuanto a sonido , esta música de nuestros tiempos de juventud nos vuelve a reencantar , maravillosos intérpretes de esos tiempos.
I was 16 years old when this was released. This tune went down a storm in the clubs here in the UK. Wish I could go back and do it all again. Love this version guys, really good.
la roca dinamo muy hermosa canción de los años 75 esa si es buena musica para relajar y bailar y cantarlas con todo el corazón uno solo es lo.que yo hago y solamente se ríen mi familia que dios le.de mucha salud.y.alegría por compartirnos su colección de musica y escucharla aunque ud se.encuentre tan lejos gracias por maravillosos recuerdos y no lloro porque cantarla es lo mejor
Tracie Rivera I totally agree with you, I was born in 1960 I also remember my older siblings and mom and dad having friends over and listening to this music, and all us kids would be outside all day riding our bikes or roller skating of playing baseball or tag , we never had cell phones or computers, we were very active outside just doing fun things outside all day until the sun would go down, I miss how my upbringing and generation was
I had hoped you had already produced the longer version and here it is. Thank you. I was 10 at the time, and this was my Moms favorite song. Thanks to her diversity in music, I got to hear this.
~ 1974! I will never hear this song and at some point not hear "Do You Wanna Get Funky With Me" by Peter Brown (R.I.P.) being beat matched simultaneously. Thank you for this re-working of the original L.P. version. Honour and Love to our living legends: George McCrae. And Gwen McCrae. "Rockin' Chair" in its own way 1975 is just as iconic. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
DiscoCat, once again, you've managed to exceed all expectations with your brilliantly gifted talent. I have loved this song since it was first released, my aunt would always the 45 at my request, and now here you are, creating a proper remix that pays respect to the original version, again, I am a hardcore fan of yours, keep them coming, sweet stuff...
I was only 5 years old but I remember it like it were yesterday. There are things one remembers and some is so blur when you think back of what was what 44 years ago.
Love this song as a child; Love this song as an adult😘 The music to this joint, Rock Your Baby, is sexy to go along with the words that George Mcrae is singing by his vocals that sounds sexy and heartfelt.
Summer of 1974. I was living in Verona, Italy where my dad was stationed. We spent a month visiting Southern France. Disco music was just starting with Donna Summer, KC and the Sunshine Band, Barry Manilow and Barry White, and everyone was Kung Fu Fighting. Great memories. It’s amazing how certain songs just bring back flashbacks.
Bons tempos, boas lembranças da minha juventude, nunca deixei e nem deixo de ouvir essas relíquias que marcaram e ficaram para sempre na minha memória! 🎤🎵🎵
I was 11 when I first heard this song... I loved it, not sure why... Later I understood it was the totally sexy vibe of it... One of my favourites, for so long now.
take me your arms, ites i looking out for you eterninallyy i, love all you people for and the corever..... love from the heart rite now baby baby nnnuy i. love oour life,.

You are so right, DJDiscoCat, this record captured me in the summer of 1974. I played both sides of the single over and over, side 2 had part 2 with an instrumental verse before the chorus came back in. So I tried to cut the two together on my cassette recorder and made a 5 minute version. Great. And then the album came out with the full 6 minutes, just wonderful
Oh, when the hope of romance hung in the air. This was the type of music that lent to it. Soft lyrics, melody and a foot tapping hip swinging vibe. What compares with it today?
Wonderful 70s that I miss and Will not return. They only exist in our hearts 😭😭

This was my mother’s fave song. When she passed away we played this song for her as we closed her casket one last time. I miss her.
Man, I miss being a kid in the, '70's, playing outside, while my mom and her friends hung out, played Dominoes or Spades, while listening to songs like this. Wow. Such peaceful days.

Wow. This music is the soundtrack to my childhood. I could shed a tear (of joy) right now. Days gone by.
grazie DJ CAT per la bellissima musica degli anni 70 che ci offri mi tornano tanti ricordi di quando ero ragazzo
sono stati anni Bellissimi e la musica era musica vera
Took me too long to get to this, but props to you for another masterful remix of a classic that preserves and still amplifies.

One of my favorite disc songs. Love how George could hit the high notes in it. Great song!
Tracie Rivera I totally agree with you, I was born in 1960 I also remember my older siblings and mom and dad having friends over and listening to this music, and all us kids would be outside all day riding our bikes or roller skating of playing baseball or tag , we never had cell phones or computers, we were very active outside just doing fun things outside all day until the sun would go down, I miss how my upbringing and generation was

This song came out when I started secondary school .....such a tune back then and now ....

Summer of 1974. I was living in Verona, Italy where my dad was stationed. We spent a month visiting Southern France. Disco music was just starting with Donna Summer, KC and the Sunshine Band, Barry Manilow and Barry White, and everyone was Kung Fu Fighting. Great memories. It’s amazing how certain songs just bring back flashbacks.

One of the greatest songs ever it's always great when you got somebody close to you

青春時代に付き合ってた彼氏のケンメリの中でいつも聞いていました😄

Sempre gostei de ouvir esse som !! Desde criança. Hj aos meus quase 53, ainda curtindo no fone, em casa ou no carro.
I danced the night away to this neat tune....

The 70s sure were the best of times, miss it dearly
The exciting disco era!.
George my favorite name, my father, miss him terribly, my favorite song, bless you all!
This was real popular in the Philippines when I first went there in late 1974. My very first Filipina girl friend loved this song & she
Sang it.
Sounds sweet.
Primi balli in discoteca .quanti bei ricordi. Quante emozioni. Grazie George
the instrumental section is hypnotic
and the way he sings the song its like he is dreaming, perfect music for a hot summer day!
You are so right, DJDiscoCat, this record captured me in the summer of 1974. I played both sides of the single over and over, side 2 had part 2 with an instrumental verse before the chorus came back in. So I tried to cut the two together on my cassette recorder and made a 5 minute version. Great. And then the album came out with the full 6 minutes, just wonderful
Oh, when the hope of romance hung in the air. This was the type of music that lent to it. Soft lyrics, melody and a foot tapping hip swinging vibe. What compares with it today?
I’ve listened to this version a bunch of times, but something hit me different today at 6:18. That was beautiful, well done!
WOW my San Francisco CA days 70-80s after I got SOBER I got to appreciate the TALENT in many of back in day's Soulful JAM'S. Still enjoy the JAM'S.
the 70s was the best!
Harry Stouffer yes it was
Agree, 1972 - 1977
Harry Stouffer I agree with you 100%, I would live in the 70s forever.
70s and 80s he best thasit 🗿
Yes Sir !!!!!!
Discovered this song when disco became popular again in the early 90s L.A. club scene. Alot of good times wish I can spend a week back then.
Wonderful 70s that I miss and Will not return. They only exist in our hearts 😭😭
I won 3 Karaoke competitions with this song as a 4 octave range white boy vocalist that could hit these falsetto note with ease but had stage presence and groove and just WORKED IT.... Thank You George for you ORIGINAL JAM and the mixers extended beats.... THIS IS IN MY TOP 10 JAMS EVER.. Happy Life Groove...............................
the music is hypnotizing. You go to another dimension with this sweet music.
Danced my ass off to this humdinger back in the '70's
😉😘😏
