If you haven't listened to it yet, it's worth giving it a try for a groovy and enjoyable music experience! - Розваги
My high school buddies could not figure out why I liked songs like this even though I was the biggest hard rock fan that they knew. I told them, "good music is good music". As a youngster, my mom would put on the Sly and the Family Stone 8-track. I assume that was where I began to appreciate "funk". Thanks for the reaction.
I had the same experience back in the 70s,I was a white boy...listening to Curtis Mayfield..Kool and the Gang,Tower of Power etcetera
When this song came on in the club, we would RUN to the dance floor!
It's been so long since I heard this! I remember dancing to this in my early 20s in San Francisco nightclubs. Good times! The dance floor was packed when this played.
Definitely a great dance song
Danced to this skating in OK in the early 80's...😅
Me too!!!! Bay Area native here!!
👍🏿
damn ur old....LOL. JK
The dance floor was packed in clubs when this song was played in Newport Beach, CA also. Still love it today.
anaheim too
Skip Martin's vocals are 🔥🔥🔥 He sang lead on quite a few of their hits
❤❤❤❤❤❤ They were the definition of “ tight”!
There’s great video from Soul Train of the dancers going down the line to this. And it’s a riot! The outfits and do’s!
The outfits were nice
@@thisisitreactions I mean on the Soul Train dancers. Their outfits are actually quite creative.
Yeah, its a funk band. It was a trend of the times. You had the Dazz band, the Gap band, and the Zapp band, just off the top of my head. I'm sure there were more similar sounding groups as well. Simple songs with a great beat to dance to, good times.
This song hit number 5 on The Billboard Hot 100 back in 1982....Where you 24 from. It did go number one on Billboard R&B charts.
Yep. 5. I grew up in a tiny town with one station that only played Top 40. I knew this song REALLY well, so I knew it had to be higher. 🤣
When this song came on in a club , by the time you realized what happened you're already on the floor dancing !! 🤩🤘
There was also a funk band called Brick. I used to always get them mixed up with the Dazz band because Brick has a song called Dazz. Abd another funky groove called Dusic. Would love to see you guys react to those.
Great minds think alike; I just suggested DAZZ by Brick! ❤
Cleveland, Ohio
The Land whip it baby💃💃☘️☘️
They could have "Whip it" for 10 more minutes 😊
You might try their 1983 R&B hit "Joystick". As for other post disco give Shalamar's "Make that Move" performance at the 1981 Rythm and Blues award a look. Great performance.
Also Consider doing Jody Watley's (who was a member of Shalamar) song and video "Still a Thrill" a listen. That's an amazing video performance. And many people thought it
was sang or written by Prince. But Prince had nothing to do with it.
Damn! I was ready for bed before I saw this reaction, it’s midnight and now y’all have me up dancing in my living room 😂
😂😆😂
Ok guys. There’s something else you should react to with the word “Dazz” in it. The song “Dazz” by Brick. It was always the backwards skating song at the roller rink in the 70’s. ❤
I remember the first time I heard this late night here in Detroit,
on the Electrifying Mojo and the Midnight Funk Association,
yeah I know I'm white 🤔😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Atomic Dog.......... nothing but the dog in me 🐶🐶🐶
Gentlemen, it turns out that Let It Whip peaked at #5 on the Hot 100 in 1982!! This was one of those songs that would fill the dance floor within seconds!!
❤ this song we use to skate dance to this. Thank you for the great memories.
The Cleveland skating classic. That and Dazz band
If this ain't one of the funkiest grooves ever put to tape, then I don't know the definition of funk.
This song was included on a CD player clean-up disc. Had my entire family dancing in the living room. Or at least moves that could be interpreted as dancing. 😊
I couldn't believe it didn't go higher in the charts! I love this song and always have!!
Reminds me of so many great bands from the 80’s like The Gap Band, Midnight Starr, Heatwave, and more. 🙂
I love the disco era, but when straight funk came back it was even better
I remember this song and many others like it (You Dropped a Bomb on Me, etc.) from our local roller skating rink when I was a kid in the early 80s. Love it.
This was a big song. Great to dance to.
I was in 9th grade when this awesome song came out ..
LOVE this song!! Kind of funny but my favorite part is the claves. 😆🤷♂️
And I agree it should have been wayyyy higher on the billboard charts!
Loved this song since I was a kid! 49 yrs old & still a banger!
Why can't we go back to music like this
Hi Guys , love your reactions to these 80’s classics which I used to play in 82 as a DJ in Channel Islands in jersey , and I’m from Glasgow in Scotland. 🏴 I loved soul funk and disco from that era. The Dazz Band, Gapp Band, AWB who were Scottish but everyone thought were African American . Take it it easy guys 👌
Sounds like Prince to my ears, with a touch of Rick James. Also easy to get Dazz mixed up with Zapp -- as in "More Bounce To The Ounce" Zapp. But that was from 1980. Check out Afrika Bambaataa & Soulsonic Force "Planet Rock" from 1982. Also check out "Buffalo Gals" by Malcolm McLaren from 1983. That's where Pharrell Williams got the idea for the Smokey the Bear hat.
I've heard this song my whole life and I never knew who made it. Turns out they're from right here in Ohio. Great song and the video's fun too.
Besides Fenom we didn't know either lol
songs like this are timeless! It was a trend of the times. I'll Keep On Loving You .🥰🥰🥰😃👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I was 12 when this song came out and it’s been my jam since day one! When this song comes on, I’m dancing. I don’t give a crap what’s going on and who’s around! I remember one day a few years ago was shopping at the grocery store and this song came on and I stopped and I was dancing in the aisle
Everytime I hear this song I want to be a majorette in a band doing a 🔥 routine 😁
This was we called a monster jam back in the early 80’s, hit in the radio station ( especially R&B!) , hot in the cars , and hot in the clubs and parties! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love Skip Martin. He has a great voice and stage presence.
Dayton OH!! Zapp Band- Roger Troutman from Hamilton, OH. The Funk sound ... Mo Bounce To The Ounce! Ohio Players, Bootsie Collins, Roger Troutman!! ❤❤❤❤. Lol it's Damon Wayans!! 😂
I love this song, and it seemed to fade away pretty fast back in the day. 😞
Totally agree!!! There are some songs like this that are timeless! 👍😊
GREAT REACTION, GUYS!!! This was a JAMMMMMM, back in the day!! ❤❤❤❤❤
We used to get down hard to this at the club. The dance floor was always packed to this one. Way too much fun.
Oh dang! This was on every one of my dad’s cookout playlists/mixed tapes/cds. ❤ Kool and the Gang’s “Hollywood Swinging”. If you haven’t reacted to it, treat yourselves ❤
Please this throws me way back double Dutch bus jam ❤😊
Yes! I’m 14 again; musically we had it SO good!!!! Next song you should react to: “DAZZ” by Brick. Bring out some FUNK! ❤
Dazz Band + US Army 1989 + NCO Clubs in Germany = best times around!! Thanks for the share guys!!
Definitely a groovy and amazing songs to dance whenever I listen to this song
DAMN THAT IS THE JAM!!
I love the Dazz Band very underrated soul band!
I didn’t miss American Bandstand and I loved dance music. Great song! 💃🏼🕺🏿
Best disco sound and one of my fav band in early 80's....
Still loving this song
Oh wow this brings back memories, we all used to hit the dance floor when it came on lol
Really loved this one I had never seen the band great reaction ❤
That bass in the second bridge sends me
Love that song! ❤️ This is my generation!
It wasnt a night out at the club if they didnt play this song.
the white dude on the keyboards is steve cox, the band actually found him working in a music store selling instruments
What a blast from my roller skating past! ❤️🇨🇦
you guys should do one for The Spinners Working my way back to you. great song great group.
That's on my playlist! I forgot how good it is!
It's so good!
I can see the two from my generation because of the grey hair. Best generation of all lol.
I haven't heard this song in so long. I forgot how much I love it. I've been having a blast this evening watching and listening to your 80s vids. I graduated HS in '87 and this has me tripping down memory lane. Have you heard Rock Lobster from The B-52s? Technically it's a 70s song ('78) but it got played at every dance I went to in HS. It's pretty great. Also, Shining Star by The Manhattans has been one of my favorite 80s song since I first heard it. ✌🏽💗
I freaking love this song!!! Just re-discovered it myself, digging around UA-cam. Try "Funky Good Time", James Brown.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I remember this song very well
Another blood pumper. Great song. Wasn't around long.
Cool! I didn't know I knew this. But now I do!
We are all learning together
At 4:33 my favorite part of the song Baby!
LOVE this one, makes me want to get my Dazz CD out lol
why don't bands dance anymore, who doesn't like a man who can dance :D
All them future Grandmother's Groving .
They have TONS of jams - I Might As Well Forget About Loving You, Laughing At You, Invitation To Love, I'll Keep On Loving You ... the rabbit hole is amazing!!

I am a white man, 66 years old. This is one of greatest songs of all time! The best tune to dance with your hot girlfriend, you know, the one with the hourglass figure.
Check out Heartbeat by The Dazz Band. My favorite song by them.
Guy on keys looks like KC!
😂
I'm saddened knowing we will never have this group funk again.
Paradise City by Guns'n'Roses. Didn't see it in your video list. If you haven't done it, check it out.
I only know this song from that movie with a nerdy guy called the new guy. I think he was talking to Eddie I forget his last name, but he was talking to him about being a prisoner in the movie and how you got to work it! Damn I can't believe I can't remember Eddie's last night. Anyway the new guy is the movie that I heard this on. Peace!
Lol dude, he looks like the Wayne Brothers! But he's not . Life is insane. You never know what God throws at you 😊 but aside from that. Amazing vide6
Even white boys gotta shout!
Great song! One of my favorites! I have a whole story about this song, but who would be interested?
Tha cut!
NORTHEAST OHIO PRIDE!!! Akron, OH does it the best!!! the only group to have 7 black dudes and ONE white dude! LMAFO

Definitely lip synching to studio recording. Nuttin' wrong with that. It was a common practice for tv music shows.
Love this Channel.
