The 70's music was the best
Yes, it was.
Anos 70 de volta. Tempo bom demais!
It was, however this record was originally sung by Judy Garland in 1948.
Come on you 60 years + who remembers this? 👍❤️

How good music used to sound. A floor filler at any disco in those days.
So fine!
I love it
❤❤❤❤ Me
Great Soul/Disco music of this band. And a leadvocal with so much Soul .
Never realised how a bass vocal lead could sound so incredible!
The base lead is founder of The Tramps and super drummer of Salsoul orchestra, mfsb n tsop...the philly drum machine Earl Young...
😄😄
Yes! Makes a real difference.
Earl Young who was also the drummer in
MFSB.

I always say too my family and friends, that if could go back in time to the 70,s I would be in heaven.The best time of my life,the fantastic music,the hippie era, the sexual revolution.There was respect and honor among men,at least were I grew up.Downtown Baby, Christie pits, little Italy.I wish I could take a Time Machine back to the 70,s ,Happyest time of my life God Bless.

Wow my uncle lived faucet Road. I came out of hospital after 13 weeks .my mate and I drank 20 pints each I went back to the guest house I was so sorry to him I let him down .I gave him all my money and he went off to Joannas .

By the way this was in 83 neither my mate nor I drink alcohol and haven't for over 10 years . We were kids 19 feeling our way in life
Ha! I was a young sailor boy based in Pompey in 1974-75. Joanna's was my second home back then. Who knows, we may have even done a soft shoe shuffle around the dancefloor (and the tree) together?

Whoa!Them vocals are seriously going down!Awesome track -you gotta believe!
True story. I spent my Summers at a Jersey shore town SeaSide Heights. I first saw the Trammps at a club in my home town. So I'm at this club in SeaSide watching the Trammps... They go on break, Ya can't get a drink at the bar 'cause there are too many people there. So I go to a place on the Boardwalk to get a beer..... Hanging out minding my own business, I start looking around, AND to the left of me sitting there having beers were the singers from the Trammps.... We said hi!!! I was kool then freeked out when they said back to the next set. I WAS THERE>>>>>>>>>>>> This was 1976.
Always magical memories of those times
This is music, oh how i miss those days .
I remember we used to sing on the corner.
Originally done in 1935.
I HAD A GOOD TIMES ,I WAS SO HAPPY AND TODAY LOOK BACK TO THE PAST I REALISE THERE WERE A SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONGS
Still love this song🕺🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That voice was LOOOOOOW
Love 💕 love it
The 70's were a great time to grow up.
I had this single and it was cracked all through and l still used to rearrange it so I could play it! Love it!
My heart sings each time I hear that song ...

Yes.
Absolutely fabulous
The Trammps Are Disco ! Miss them days !
Way under rated the lead jimmy Ellis one of a kind Rest in Peace jim
@@hermanrembert9143 Jimmy Ellis was amazing. Maybe underrated. Jimmy Ellis & Donna Summer were probably why disco exploded to the top. The Trammps were the original disco group. Hopefully it comes back in these depressing times. Where the Happy People Go. Thanks Jimmy Ellis & Earl Young
Even if the dance floor is empty that's the song that gets me up
just wow! lots of happy amazing memories from the 70s
Just listened at the COASTERS, and I have to give to the Best performance on this one, The TRAMPS, bet everybody out, even the original by Judy Garland in 1935 and Frank Sinatra!!!
These are talented groups not like today. 70 s had the best musicians. Ever. Larry. Nj
