Such a fun song and brings back lots of memories! Having lived through the Disco era, you gotta admit no matter what this music makes you want to move. If not .. check your pulse! This one was definitely one of the best! ❤❤❤❤
one of the best Disco songs ever.... i lived through the disco era and it was a blast and totally different than classic rock..... Boogie Nights will live on forever😂
Fellas, first of all Rip to the Drummer Ernest "Bilbo" Berger who we lost in March 1st 2024. Basically the last original member of Heatwave that was still alive. U guys have to react to another Heatwave Music video was called The Grooveline. The Grooveline will make U dance all night long. U guys will enjoy that video.
According to a Slovak interview, Bilbo defected to the west from Czechoslovakia via Finland in the late 60s when his band did a small tour there and he never came back.
Mario Mantese, the original bass player who’s in this clip, is still with us as far as I know. He became something of a spiritual teacher/guru after his near-death experience and goes by Meister M now
I had this 45 and when I was about 6, I would pretend that I was on stage singing it. My bed was my stage and I would play this song over and over. I still love it even though I have heard it a million times. It's a classic!!
OMG, this was my mom's JAM back in the day. I recall her leaving cooking in the kitchen to go into the livingroom to get her BOOGIE ON! ! ! Or what she considered a boogie anyway. 🤔
This song brings back a lot of childhood memories. I was young but I remember hearing this song a lot. I also like Heatwave's songs Groove Line, Mind Blowing Decisions, and Always and Forever.
I remember this track from my grammar school days . I think the keyboard player here worked on The Thriller Michael Jackson's album . Quincy Jones thought he was a black dude before he actually met him.
Love this song - reminds me of when we used to go roller skating a longggg time ago. The video, however, could make someone go into an epileptic seizure. 😳. And the guy with the stocking on his head- that was rough 😂
English keyboardist Rod Temperton wrote all of the group's hits (Including "Always and Forever" and "Groove Line" along with this) as well as a number of Michael Jackson's breakthrough mature hits including "Rock with You," "Thriller," "Off the Wall," and "Burn This Disco Out." He also wrote some hits for other artists, like "Stomp!" with the Brothers Johnson.
LOVED THIS REACTION!! You all were dancing in your chairs!!! 🙂 You all would have LOVED being alive back in those days! Yes, the outfits were odd, but, the groove, the energy....this is why we loved Disco!! Like Olli said, "if you don't like this song, there's something wrong with you." This was a funk side of Disco, but it was DISCO. As open-minded as you three guys are, you would have been disappointed to hear so many guys diss this music back then. For some reason, most white boys hated disco and the band Journey. Is there anything more ignorant and stupid than someone whose prejudices close their minds so tight that even a silent fart cannot escape? Love y'alls reactions/personalities/open-mindedness/honesty/compassion/vulnerability and demeanors. All three different, yet all brothers just the same. And all willing to go out on the limb to reach the fruit. God bless y'all.
I remember Headliner back then in NYC was Donna Summers others there were KC & Sunshine Band, Hues Corporation and HEAT WAVE after show went across the street for some Gyros
Rod Temperton!! What a writer!! Cleethorpes finest - They used to have a great Northern Soul weekender there, makes sense why Rod would be so good at funk and soul!! #KTF people Check out Chaz Jankel next - he wrote and recorded Ai No Corrida before Quincey had a bit hit with it. Great writer and great songs (and really bad white boy soul dancing!! 😆) Love him to bits.
Such a freaking groove. Please check out Brick House from the Commedores so much fun guys. Great reaction and Peace out 🙏 ☮️ ✌️BTW Ollie is just grooving through the whole song 😂
Wait a minute! Boogie Nights, Ain't No Half Steppin', Mind Blowing Decisions, The Groove Line, Sho' nuff Must Be Luv, Happiness Togetherness, you think you have heard these songs??? Come on now!
"THE GROOVE LINE" by this group is an absolute must!

RIP Rod, Johnnie and Keith.
Indeed. Loved both songs as a child in the 70s.
Rod Temperton (playing the piano in the video) wrote Thriller, Off the Wall and Rock with you for Micheal Jackson also songs for George Benson.
Wow. I didn’t know he was in Heatwave. He probs wrote this song too.
@@TheDivayenta Rod Temperton was from Cleethorpes in Lincolnshire, England.
Keyboard player
Ron Temperton known as the invisible man.
Guys, this is the man who wrote “rock with you”
The Funk must come from within!!!
Legend

I grew up late 69's and 70's era..rock ..but loved this era when it came around. Hit all the dance floors where there was one !
This song and "The Groove Line" (also by Heatwave) are the epitome of the disco sound in the late 70s to me.
one of the best Disco songs ever.... i lived through the disco era and it was a blast and totally different than classic rock..... Boogie Nights will live on forever😂
The Groove Line by Heatwave is the jam too
Me too!

I grew up with this great disco music. How time flies. 🎶🎶🎶😘🙋♀️
I had this 45 and when I was about 6, I would pretend that I was on stage singing it. My bed was my stage and I would play this song over and over. I still love it even though I have heard it a million times. It's a classic!!
I still have my 45 of The Groove Line from ‘78. It cracks and pops a lot more these days but it still gets regular use on my record player.
my 3 favourite 'disco/funk' tunes are Boogie Nights, Boogie Oogie Oogie and Stomp... amazing tunes
Stomp is such a great song. Can’t go wrong with Louis on the bass!
Also written by Rod

This is about as dope as it gets. No one has any business being this fly.
This song brings back a lot of childhood memories. I was young but I remember hearing this song a lot. I also like Heatwave's songs Groove Line, Mind Blowing Decisions, and Always and Forever.
See kids this is what real music sounds like.
I will say it once, I will say it again, all 70’s music was and is still the best!!!🎶🎶🎶🎶
Brings back memories of my high school days, good times for sure.
This was a must at ant skating ring back in the day cool tune
Such a great band Heatwve.
Rod Temperton wrote some huge hits and must be loaded from all the royalties.
British of course.
Corey's future is so bright he's gotta wear shades.
It's all the more amazing when you know where Rod Temperton came from.
Let's dance..😀♥️
I remember this track from my grammar school days . I think the keyboard player here worked on The Thriller Michael Jackson's album . Quincy Jones thought he was a black dude before he actually met him.
Yes. Rod Temperton on keyboard. He made and produced some hits for MJ .
Even this song reminds me " off the wall".
This would be a great song to play if you’re in/at a dance marathon. “Got to keep on dancing, keep on dancing.”💃
Love love love Heatwave!
My old roller skating music. And I’m still listening to this. ❤
Excellent skating song
I got to see these guys live in 1995. They put on amazing show. So much fun ❤
Corey is my favorite reactor. Love his positivity and joy
The whole L.P of Boogie Nights is a masterpiece!
Definitely danced many times to this classic✨✨💃🏻Never seen this video before… those threads are something else😂
Love this song - reminds me of when we used to go roller skating a longggg time ago. The video, however, could make someone go into an epileptic seizure. 😳. And the guy with the stocking on his head- that was rough 😂
Need to do Grooveline next! RIP Rod
Back in high school, I was the one white boy in a funk band. We threw it down! 40 years later, I still dig this stuff.

Always loved this song. It's one of those songs that you just say, "I don't give a @##$ this song kicks ass".
I can't count the amount of times I've danced to this song lol. Classic.
LOVED THIS REACTION!! You all were dancing in your chairs!!! 🙂 You all would have LOVED being alive back in those days! Yes, the outfits were odd, but, the groove, the energy....this is why we loved Disco!! Like Olli said, "if you don't like this song, there's something wrong with you."

These guys weregreat live.
"Groove Line" is a good one by this group!
This was one of our majors at the discos! ❤
You guys are one of the best reactors on here , and my subscribe list is very short
Much love! Much appreciated to be on your very short list!
I remember Headliner back then in NYC was Donna Summers others there were KC & Sunshine Band, Hues Corporation and HEAT WAVE after show went across the street for some Gyros
Oh yes… the costumes were THE BEST! Such an interesting time for popular culture.
Great one, guys!!!
Let’s keep boogying with George Benson on “ Give Me The Night”. ❤
You can't not have this one on your Dance Llist playlist! Memories - age 13, dancing with friends!
Love that groove!
Great music. The outfits are jammin’!!!
I still have my 45 of this.
Always liked this song.
Love how Cory Roy is getting down to this one 🕺So infectious 😊
This is one of my favorite songs I love to hear it out about 120 DB
The Grove Line is another good song by Heatwave.
Rod Temperton!! What a writer!! Cleethorpes finest - They used to have a great Northern Soul weekender there, makes sense why Rod would be so good at funk and soul!! #KTF people
Check out Chaz Jankel next - he wrote and recorded Ai No Corrida before Quincey had a bit hit with it. Great writer and great songs (and really bad white boy soul dancing!! 😆) Love him to bits.
Beware the Boogie Man in the Boogie Nights. He'll give you Boogie Fever. Then you'll Boogie Oogie Oogie til you just can't boogie no more.
Wouldn’t mind a 3 month heatwave right about now.
Fantastic! Classic.
The 50s through the early 90s were the best
One of the better songs from that time.
Nice choice.
I got the receipt!!! So great!!!
I got the record lol!!!
Great song. Check out The Trammps song - Disco Inferno. It's one of the many good songs on the The Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. Good movie too.
Groove Line
Go Corey, go Corey, go Corey 🕺 🪩
I don’t care who you are…if you don’t enjoy this song…you don’t have a heartbeat 😅
Such a freaking groove. Please check out Brick House from the Commedores so much fun guys. Great reaction and Peace out 🙏 ☮️ ✌️BTW Ollie is just grooving through the whole song 😂
Ka. Lassic. Music was so positive and happy then, except for the beautiful sad songs 😊
Wait a minute! Boogie Nights, Ain't No Half Steppin', Mind Blowing Decisions, The Groove Line, Sho' nuff Must Be Luv, Happiness Togetherness, you think you have heard these songs??? Come on now!
💯👍🕺
This was a HUGE hit. The movie was named after it, but I don't think it's on the soundtrack.
The awful costumes and even worse dancing can't disguise the fact that this is a great song by a great BRITISH band.
BUS STOP!!!
😂😂🤣🤣💀💀🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Will you play Donny Hathaway this Christmas he really could sing the song
The outfits are cheesy but the song is a classic.
I lost 5 lbs watching this video
This is what I call awesome!
