I miss the ORIGINAL FATBACK band members and the early days of the 70's and 80's. Best decades in music and concerts not just R&B and Funk but everything else.
imagine..a band singing original music while dancing and playing real instruments..see that youngsters?...this used to be the norm back then, not the 5 member nothing-but-dancing boy bands and loud spittin' rappers crap ya'll call music today. i thank god that i was so lucky to grow up during that era....
Mano, realmente a Banda foi uma grande engrenagem, uma Máquina de fazer dançar, mas como anatomia humana onde temos cabeça, tronco e membro, assim Fathback Band com seus compositores, músicos e essas meninas mano que além de destruirem nos vocais eram acima de tudo Maquinas eletricas de dançar posuuiam o tão procurado Jive.
You are soooo right!!!! You know when you had it on your other page, I told you I almost HURT myself at World on Wheels when I first heard it. They are the TRUTH by FAR. :-)
Wow, who's that itty bitty guitar player? When my brother and I were kids, we had the cassette to this. When I played at the rollerskating rink, we'd start to skate backwards and move our arms like we were swimming a backstroke. We thought the song was about swimming.
@xtarheelinutah His name is John King aka "Boggie" and and the electronics repair shop he owns is in Rock Hill SC 15 min south of Charlotte,NC. I know him personally and has been blessed to record in his studio in the back of his shop. Hill City stand up!
@warnerbenjaminj Fatback originated from North Carolina, out of Fayetteville. The members are still around today. Unfortunately, one of them (I forget his name, the shartest member of the group), was assaulted and robbed (in 2009) at his electronics repair shop he own and operates out of Kings Mountain, NC (35 minutes southeast of Charlotte, NC)

Uncle was a badass original member FATBACK great! You should be very proud!
The jam, reminds me of the house parties and me being the little 5yr old playing the records at the party. Spinnin all the 45s
I remember them in the late '70s at a dance club "After The Gold Rush" in Tucson, Az.
I see the good stuff, the back-up singers doing the backstroke, having a good time all night long,
With out doubt one of the sexiest and sultry dance tracks EVER!!! Love it!!!.... spent many an hour dancing along to this from day one till present :)

The intro though,and then it just takes off man,simply awesome!
We adopted this as our car club's song. We blast it when we go cruising!
I ain’t even mad at you pimp!!!! I be bumping this in the impala all the time!
these cats were very underated in my book u see most of the oldschool bands played there own instr and there own track .
The background dancers/singers are on point!
Pimp C was a fucking musical genius for sampling this
Background singers killing the dance choreography lol. Dope...
I conjugated the verb and became pregnant (somehow listening and feeling this song) with my youngest, Jason Jackson who was born 28-October-1981.
Looking fa dat good stuff
All time classic

Dr dre sampled this for a song in the chronic album
I’ve always wanted to learn the correct way on how to dance this
the jam
everybody need to tighten' up on that old backstroke!
is Fatback one of the best names for a funk band or what...
Who ever was in charge of audio needed to be sobered up.
Dam, those were the days of beautiful natural long hair black hair.
I really wish there were more horns in music these days :/
@MahoganyArchives download real player and then you'll be able to download it onto your hard drive and watch! i love this song too...
