First time I heard this song was on SOUL TRAIN, and the audience at first was completely silent until the band started playing. They were looking at these white boys on the stage with a look of bewilderment until the bass was dropped then the crowd went wild. In later repeats of the show they edited out that awkward silence at the beginning. I thought that was the greatest part of the event.
It's okay to say "I didn't know they were white." Funk is a genre of music that is stereotypically associated more with black folks than while folks. I'm white and I had the same thought when I first saw them. And Rick Astley (Never Gonna' Give You Up) had a ton of fans, and even his own record people on their first live meet-up, who were surprised he was white.
I was in management back in the 90s for a cable system that had cable all through Ohio. I was out checking on a upgrade in the area on my way through to the east coast. Ran into the drummer for this band. He said the manager screwed them on this song. Really cool dude. When I got back to HQ I had someone look him up in the billing system. I put my free code in his intent. Potentially got free internet and cable the last 24 years. He laughed like hell when I told him I saw that live on the midnight special. Ps, late 70's and 80's it seemed like everyone got along.
This was their only hit song from what I remember. Another funky one-hit-wonder was from a Native American band called 'Redbone', and you might be interested in doing their hit song 'Come and get your love.'
In truth, that was going on long before the 1970s. Look at all of the musical cultures that were being combined in jazz music, especially by the 1950s.
@@fuchsiaswing8545 Very true, even back to Benny Goodman. I am just more aware of the 60's and 70's because that is my generation. As I have aged I have tried to expand my musical taste and it has enriched my life immensely.
Back in the day if you played this song along with Earth , Wind & Fire - September , The Commadores - Brick House , and K. C. & The Sunshine Band - Get Down Tonight , booty of all ages will be shakin' on the floor !
@@karinwolf3645 I saw EWF with the O'Jays and The Isley Brothers , 7th row center stage. As much as i love EWF , The Isley's whooped everybody at that show !
Excellent reaction!!! This song was baaaad. It was incredibly huge. A smash hit. Everybody hit the dance floor when this came out. Everybody sang it , everywhere they went.
Great tune. One of my very favourites. You just can't stay still when this track is playing. For many it's suprising to see, who actually is singing this song. As suprising as maybe Steve Winwood (Gimme Some Lovin') or Harry Wayne Casey from KC and the Sunshine Band. All singers with lots of soul in their voice - and please folks, don't get this the wrong way, all sounding very black - in the most positive way - , that's why many are suprised when first time listening. Jonny Lang is another that falls into that category. His song "I Believe" is very much worth a listen.
I just have to say I love 60s and 70s music so much. What I love more though is watching someone's face when they play a guitar solo no matter how short it is.such as Startin at time samp 4:43. Music connects us all and makes us all make a similar face.
In an interview the writer/singer of this song said it came from being told that very phrase in a club. When he tested the song out on his father, he was told he couldn't use the "white boy" phrase but he did anyway. Every reacter is surprised they're white and varying ddgrees of shocked at the "white boy" line. It alwaus just made me smile.
This took me back to ridiing my bike down to roller rink on a Saturday, skating all day skates.... only to stop for vanilla cone and salty fries with a coke. Looved my youth
I just noticed...from memory, yes, I'm 57... a good amount of performers lip synced on Solid Gold, Bandstand etc. I love that this is live, I can tell by a bit different phrasing & adlibs
Yeah, a lot of TV shows in the 70's lip synced to the studio versions of there songs. The Midnight special and Don Kirshner's Rock Concet were two TV shows that had only live performances and we watched them religiously Friday and Saturday nights!
The sad thing about Disco is that it helped kill live music. Almost every bar or social club had bands on the weekends at least. Disco brought in recorded music so they didn’t have to pay musicians.That’s why the animosity towards it was so strong . Funk in a live band is so much cooler☮️
Music like this reveals the lie of politically pushed division. I remember this song growing up. As always, there's much more harmony in real life than what the media pushes
Amazing how it’s today’s world that seems so shocked to see multi race band members all just jamming along, we were thrilled listening to awesome music, no one really cared, just had respect for the music, no matter what color you were
What I love about this video, is that the song was prominently featured in the movie "Evolution," and so was a t-shirt with the periodic table! Have you reacted to that movie???
Okay, I have a followup for you. Here come the Mummies. The leading story is they are a group of studio musicians out of Nashville who weren't allowed to perform for other labels as themselves, so they dressed up as mummies and formed an "undead funk band." Imagine music that sounds like this, with lyrics that are technically "clean" but riddled with double entendres (some not so double), performed by a band that is rumored to have multiple Grammies for other projects. They've been playing about 20 years, largely with the same members.
I get what you're saying about people being overly sensitive right now. I don't remember the exact incident since it's been so long ago now, but it was one of those incidents where some white person called the cops on some Black people, or family, for doing something that white people do all the time as well. I basically said something along the lines of "my fellow honkies, we have GOT to stop doing this." Had one person say that I lost them by being racist. I asked how, and they said by directing the word "honkies" at white people I was racist. Told them they need to improve their reading comprehension because they are apparently not understanding the two words in front of honkies. Then said that I am so white that I risk 3rd degree sunburn at the North Pole on the winter solstice
You like disco? You Were Made For Lovin' Me by KISS is AWESOME!!! MRLBOYD MUSIC 70s music WAS great, and the greatest song ever sung is Welcome to the Machine by Pink Floyd. So much understanding of life and so much artistic beauty in one song, it's amazing. It's alright,.. we told you what to dream!!!
Disco "Officially" died one night in Chicago at Comisky Park, during a "Death To Disco" promotion set up by Owner Bill Veack, as in Wreck, his quote. There was an On-Field RIOT and the White Sox wound up having to forfeit the second game of a scheduled Double Header. Man I miss the 70's, so much true action. Of course there is plenty of video of the Riot, and the aftermath.
The one-hit wonder named after a box of cough drops. This song was it for them. The rest of that debut album was also fantastic, too, though. It went platinum and they won several music awards that year, including Best Pop Group by Billboard. They didn't have any success with their follow-up albums, but this one tune carried them and allowed the singer/writer to retire by age 40.
I was born in 1951. The 1970's was a whirlwind time to be in your 20's; at least, that is, if you were paying attention. Thank you and your reaction colleagues for helping me feel like all of this has not been segregated to a mere footnote in history.
I didn't know they were white either, but I remember I first guessed when I looked up the lyrics, and realized the chorus was something the singer had been told himself. It all came together after that.
Disco was basically from 1975 - 1980. By 1977 it was already waning. Bands like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the Pretenders, the Cars, and Blondie and the NEW WAVE music crowd and the tv show CHIPS helped end disco.
IMO, it's kind of a misnomer when people talk about disco "dying". So much 80s pop grew straight out of the traditions of disco, and just evolved to the next thing. Just my way of looking at it, I guess.
We are not each others' enemies. In spite of how much The Powers That Should Not Be seek to use the 'divide and conquer' strategy to acquire and maintain power.
The guy wrote the song, played it for his dad, his dad said you can't say that. He did anyway, then his dad said you were right. Yeah the white boy is the whole point of the song.
The sad thing is this song would be banned today. It (like Ram Jam - Black Betty) would be labelled racist. Which in both cases is ridiculous. Black Betty was actually written by a black man and this song has no lyric to insult anyone.... it's just fun. Back then everyone was aware of race but just didn't care. Especially when it came to music. The 70's disco line dancing, and the music, Queen, The Stones, The Temptations, The Beatles, Kiss, Elvis, The Jackson 5, Springsteen, Stevie Wonder etc. It was an amazing time for music.
I always thought the lyric was " play that funky music right, boy". Nothing to do with colour. Learn something every day. My 28 year old son heard it recently and thought the lyrics were " play that f#%king music right, boy!" 😂
Beyond my hips going crazy, the song makes me a bit misty (same with Woodstock Santana Soul Sacrifice). It was a great time that I wish my 3 kids could experience. They have been trained differently, my efforts be damned.
When listen to music you hear Danny iris with the different music over the years watch the canton Ohio concert football hull a fame game concert the group the song the rapper and his solo music
I'm going to blame Barry White for the creation of disco. I'm probably wrong, but I'm going to blame him anyway. He wrote a certain song in the 1960s but didn't produce it until the 1970s. Love's Theme by the Love Unlimited Orchestra (instrumental). I'm a nut for music without words.
I lived through the era of Disco. Didn't care for it. IMHO I think the only effective use of disco was in Jeff Wayne's concept musical "War of the Worlds", where disco was used as the emblemic motif of the robotic-enhanced aliens. This isn't meant as a slight; it was brilliant and the entire album is incredible. Actually, have you ever considered doing a UA-cam 'special' edition of reacting to an entire concept album? So many to choose from: "War of the Worlds", "Tommy", "Jesus Christ Superstar", "Quadrophenia", "The Wall", "What's Going On", etc.
I also have read, though i couldn't swear under oath to the veracity of the story, but this is supposedly about a true incident that happened when he was playing at a club or bar that was predominantly Black clientele
Absolutely! "Prince Live - Play that funky Music - Hollywood Swinging - Fantastic Voyage 4/28/11." A killer performance - and I think it was the third encore after a 3 hr concert.
I was a bartender in a very popular club during the disc phase and could not wait for disco to die, it was the start of the ruin of real music and what we have now computerize pop.
I do not consider this Disco. It's Funk. There's plenty of great funk from the 70s to get into. If you like Prince, check out his cover medley of PTFM from a concert in LA from 2011: ua-cam.com/video/LNrAFb3I2js/v-deo.html Very cool -- and funky!
In case he shies away from links, he can google "Prince Live - Play that funky Music - Hollywood Swinging - Fantastic Voyage 4/28/11." A killer performance - and I think it was the third encore after a 3 hr concert. Prince said it early in his career, and he was right: "My name is Prince / And I am funky / When it comes to funk / I am a junkie."
You're in good company - hardly anyone under 50 knows they're white. Check a reaction by Patrol Gaming - Oh I know this song. Wait, wait a minute - they're white. (sorry, don't know how to transcribe his Australian accent.)
No, I don't think it would be banned. In the end, it's about coming to a mutual understanding and acceptance. Obviously, race is not overlooked in the song. It's not colorblind. But they were able to get beyond it. What's so bad about that?

This was on pure funk #1
I was thinking the same thing 😂
He obviously "caught" himself from saying what we all were thinking. LOL.
I don’t know how anybody that loves music wouldn’t like funky music! I was a teenager when this was popular loved it
I was in management back in the 90s for a cable system that had cable all through Ohio. I was out checking on a upgrade in the area on my way through to the east coast. Ran into the drummer for this band.
He said the manager screwed them on this song.

This was an era when different musical cultures combined to form new music. A fantastic time to be alive.

I love your smirk/smile! You can see you "dig " it. Lol. ❤

It's the crowd telling him, "Play that funky music(white boy)"
I boogied to this years ago.... still move to it!!!!!! We were all shocked to find that it was a white guy singing!
It was cool seeing you smile 😂😂😂👍
You can see Elvin Bishop in the song FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE.
His only song I didn't like. Completely contrary to his style of music. My opinion.
Such a fun song, you can't help but dance to this lol
This is the epitome of DISCO ! Ladies nite 2 drinks for one! At 9pm they let the MEN in.....the rest is history! ❤❤

I like disco. It's fun. Disco died in 1980 with a showy crushing of disco records with a piece of construction equipment in a stadium that year.

Just do more Midnight Special.
I might be wrong but I believe this was what is called a "One Hit Wonder".
Highly suggest Prince doing this song live.. you will be schooled
Absolutely! "Prince Live - Play that funky Music - Hollywood Swinging - Fantastic Voyage 4/28/11." A killer performance - and I think it was the third encore after a 3 hr concert.

Baby dont you know (that the honkys got soul) anther one their songs,
If you like da funk y'all need to check parliament.
This song was released in 1974. I don't think Disco was around at the time
By the way, I like your T-shirt.
The more I watch you the more I want to suggest things other than music, ... Marcus Aurelius, Pliny, Kant, Nietzsche, Loche....

Seems like every time peoples come together too long something stirs the pot.
How sad would it be to put out a song so great that it kills the rest of your career??
You need to listen to the original version it's better for sure
Thankfully, this song if more funk and a whole lot less disco, which was awful.
Unfortunately this was pretty much a one hit wonder. Too bad......
would've been a whole lot better if disco never materialized IMO
