      Disco, in its time and place, was new and different. When everybody wore it out, America moved on, but this, was more R&B,so it's longevity was already established. That's why you young people are reacting to it at all. If it's good, it's good. Period. Labels don't mean nothin.

I had 9 sisters. We were a family in the tradition of groups like "Sister Sledge". My older sister Debbie was a disco dancer competitor, and teacher. I found my groove through her and her now husband of 40 years my brother in law Michael. They were brilliant in the 70 s. Thelma was one of the artists they danced to the championship with. So much fun. Thanks kids. Enjoying every minute. Canadian Grandma Lori. C.

    I was 6 years old when that song came out.
    I recall it was a ubiquitous presence on both pop and soul based radio stations. Even as a small child, I liked the beat.
    Don't Leave Me This Way
    Staying Alive
    Hot Stuff
    Funky Town
    Do You Think I'm Sexy
    Ring My Bell
    and countless others are absolute ICONS
    of the now long gone/bygone disco era.
    Miss Houston was giving Midwestern
    Library Clerk REALNESS there, and serving
    up solid disco beats with some truly SEXXY
    lyrics.

    This is a great one! The song is just pure excitement as the beat kicks up and that bass line comes in.

    I was really into disco back in the day and entered dance contests all the time. My partner, Tim and I won 2nd place in regionals to this song. I don’t care what anyone says, disco was fun!

    We danced to this at our 8th grade pajama parties. That's when 70's disco line dances were the rage. Love it!

    Finally you do this song! This was such a big hit in 1976. Another big disco hit from that year that has sort of a similar rhythm is Diana Ross's "Love Hangover."
    And the way she's dressed, that wasn't considered dowdy or plain at the time. It looks that way to us now because we've forgotten or don't know what was fashionable at that time. Those blousy, earthtone tops and narrow-leg jeans (called cigarette-leg at the time) were the height of fashion. It was a very casual time. Y'all have probably noticed in the dance footage you've watched from the disco era that you don't really see many platform shoes or sequins. Women in particular at this time dressed in loose, flowing tops kinda like this.

    Reminds me of Star Search (Gen X’s AGT).
    This was a song I saw everyone slow-fast dance to when I was a child.
    One vivid memory is this song being played during the skating rink games: speed skate, backwards skate, corner-out and obstacle skate, with the limbo and the hokie pokie thrown in before or after.
    The 70’s were great.
