I have always loved this song from when I was a kid in the 70s. I actually used to think that Rick James had a hand in the production because it gave Rick James vibes.
The guy in the suit was not in the band, he was just a guest in the video. Ish the guy playing mouth/guitar, wrote and recorded the song with the bass player and drummer Joe Galdo. Joe Galdo was president of Island Records in the 90s. They definitely didn’t sing the backgrounds. That was a female group. I forgot the name of the girl group.
I remember when I first heard Get Off, when it came out in '78, I was 4 years old. I remember when I first saw them on the Midnight Special and I was shocked beyond belief. And I remember them having female backup singers too.
I grow up in the 70’s when Foxy came out in 1978. We all thought they were a girl group until we seen them on ABS with Dick Clark. Totally surprised. Their all related from Cuba who left and made their home in Miami…🙀
A lot of great local bands in Miami, during the disco era. Foxy was top band back then, great musicians…Ish Ledesma guitar and vocals, Ritchie Puente guitar and vocals, Arnold P. on bass and vocals, Charlie Murciano keyboards and vocals and Joe Galdo on drums who was all over Gloria Estephan’s first record with the Miami Sound Machine. Joe G. Wrote and produced 3/4 songs on that record. George McCrae and the Newborn Band ( check out the Diamond Touch Album ) great funk / Disco. KC and the Sunshine Band, And a few other groups all came out of that scene in the late 70’s
The first time we heard foxy in 78. We all thought they were a girl group.!. But to our surprise it was a guy group from Cuba instead.! They had the #1 song on the radio and Was the number one song in all the night clubs.!. 😊😇👍🏽😊
Used to play this song over and over when I was really young, not sure if I cought the meaning at that time. I do also remember the video . What a fun song though.
Ohhh Mannn…. You just reacted to one of my FAVORITE disco jams!!!!!! My God,I am SO blessed to grow up when I did (late 70’s to mid 80’s) Where I did (Boogie Down Bronx and Brooklyn); this song will always make me get up and dance until the day I DIE ❤❤❤
Review Hot Number by Foxy! Get Off was my favorite song...I thought it was a black group until recently. I still love the song it doesn't matter as the memories and why I liked the song will never change. I'm an 80's gal...Miss Hawaii USA '86 so this was my vibe. Aloha 🌺!
I was 13 when this song came out it was in every party n especially on Soul Train do you know they all were Latin . On the far left on the Guitar was Tito Puente Son from Blyn. This was the Jam , when music was music . ❤❤❤❤❤❤and I am 58 years young and the dance for it was the Bump 💯💯💯💯
Stumbled on to this as I was going down memory lane (Bootsy, Funkadelic) and definitely remember as a kid I felt ripped off buying the album because that was the only good song on it, but loved the jam
you are to be congratulated. I would never imagine that any channel would react to this song. I danced a lot, I don't remember exactly if it was the end of the 70's or the beginning of the 80's. Congratulations once again. Hello from Brasil.
I know I was there in the 70’s Born in Miami and went to Miami Springs High School during that time…My uncle Dennis Sierra, played guitar with the Newborn band and later did two European tours with KC. We all knew the members of Foxy. Lot of competition between all those bands back then.
I LOVE the visuals! I always thought they were a Black funk band. But they’re Cuban-so that explains the flavor. A little afrolatin situation! Love it! And they DELIVER in that performance! I can’t get enough of Carlo, Ish brings it too-so talented-dancer, musician, singer, everything!🔥
Back in the 70's, when music didn't "belong" to anyone, you had whites doing black music and blacks doing white music and Hispanics doing everybody's music, It was a beautiful time. Nobody can say that this isn't "funk".
You guys will know “Madamoiselle” by them. Such a great track! It was re-issued in the 80s. I remember dancing to it a lot in London clubs (mid 1980s).
WAP is moral rot, and doesn’t hold a candle to this groove; I feel bad for kids today; we knew how to dance, get down and have fun, while keeping our integrity and self respect ❤🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽
Okay, I wish I could unsee this video😂I loved this song growing up. I honestly expected a funk group with ladies singing background too. Never knew what they looked like. Now everytime I heard it I'm gonna think about how UNCOOL they looked🤣🤣
Of course! Wildflower sang the back vocals but they Foxy did not include them in the video, I don’t know why? It would have been just complete! They were AMAZING!!!! Listen Hot Number, Wildflower sings the back vocals really well and makes the band complete!
Casey Kasem told a great story about this song. He said Foxy's leader named Ish was driving past a school one day and heard small children singing this song's hook and it bothered him so much that he broke up the band.
Loved when this came on. The Dance Floor Was Packed & Jumpin’. This Video ruined it for me. Thought the Singers were a Black Dude & Black Woman. Boy was I Wrong 😮😂😂
This is wild and crazy the whole atmosphere one of you looks like Eddie Murphy, one of you looks like Dr. Boyce,and the other looks like Tariq Nasheed. The guy which I will call Tariq Nasheed and sounds like him damn he sounds like Tariq Nasheed yall fukin with us. Foxy Hot number is also a party song hype like Get off.
THERE IS ANOTHER SONG BY FOXY. THEY WERE ON THE MERV GRIFFIN SHOW. THE SONG SOUNDED FAMILIAR. NOT AS BIG AS "GET OFF." THE MAN IN THE "WIFE BEATER TEE" IS WEARING COLORFUL SPANDEX. PINK, PURPLE, PERHAPS ORANGE? YOU SHOULD SEE THEIR HOLIDAY VIDEO WITH MOCK SOLID GOLD DANCERS IN THE BACKGROUND. HILARIOUS! SOMEONE MENTIONED THEY ARE LATIN? THEIR OTHER SONG THAT IS FAMILIAR IS CALLED "HOT NUMBER." I REMEMBER IT. IT'S REALLY GOOD. YOU'LL LIKE IT. I SAW A FEW LITTLE VIDEOS. THEY WERE PRETTY "HOT NUMBER (S)" MAKING MORE APPEARANCES THAN I WAS AWARE. I WAS OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND MISSED THEIR RISE. HOWEVER, THEY ARE LATIN. CUBAN, SPANISH? AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE ELSE THE LEAD SINGER'S NAME IS ISHMAEL? I DON'T SPEAK SPANISH, A LITTLE PORTUGUES AND A TINY BIT OF BRAZILIAN PORTUGESE AND A TINY BIT OF BIT OF JAPANESE, BUT NO SPANISH. THE MEMBER WITH THE BIGGEST HAIR IS THE SON OF TITO PUENTES HE SAID. A WELL KNOWN ARTIST. THE LEAD VOCALIST WAS STILL PERFORMING AS PERHAPS THE OTHERS? I CAN'T REMEMBER THEIR NAMES. PROS. I DO REMEBER THEIR SONGS. CHART TOPPING. LISTEN TO "HOT NUMBER." WILL NOT DISAPPOINT. ❤
This was my SHitttt growing up in W Philadelphia. But i thought .there were some black girls in the group.. How the two old heads in this podcast not now this ???
The guy on the left, in the brown dress shirt is famed Puerto Rican bandleader Tito Puentes' son Richie. Not the one in the tank top. The rest are all Cuban. Most of them could not even speak English well.
I've never seen or heard of this song or band before. It seemed a bit dishonest not to have the female vocalists in the clip given that they contributed so much. The guy singing wearing the white shirt/grey pants & blue tie looked like a Thunderbirds puppet. The song was catchy and fun though.
First of all the guy with the tank top is Tito Puente son lots of talent in his bloodline second you idiots forget people back then danced and they danced all the time anytime every single song that's just the way it was none of this uptight crap today or single dancing or whatever people really really danced back then so show a little respect they were very very good !!
They were a Cuban band from Miami ❤very hot in the 70's
The history behind the song is pretty interesting.
What? I’m dying to know.
How does anyone not know Foxy! I ❤ this song ❤
This needs a MAJOR R E - M I X !!!
The vocals were performed by Wildflower, a female vocal trio from the Miami area.
Good info.👍👍
The girls sang the choruses. Carl and I sang the verses.
Thank you because we knew that there was a woman singing that background
I have always loved this song from when I was a kid in the 70s. I actually used to think that Rick James had a hand in the production because it gave Rick James vibes.
The name kgriund vocals. Obviously, men sang the main lyrics. Wish we saw the women instead of having the men lip sync the women’s background part.
The guy in the suit was not in the band, he was just a guest in the video. Ish the guy playing mouth/guitar, wrote and recorded the song with the bass player and drummer Joe Galdo. Joe Galdo was president of Island Records in the 90s. They definitely didn’t sing the backgrounds. That was a female group. I forgot the name of the girl group.
"Meet me under the sheets with two lovelies so we can get off" great line!!! Roller skated my ass off to this song!!!
Yall slow and late this been popping from our Latino Bros..was funky and still is❤❤❤
I know about this song I love it from 1978 I was 14yrs old
I was 17, yeah that was the jam. 😎✌🏽
I remember when I first heard Get Off, when it came out in '78, I was 4 years old. I remember when I first saw them on the Midnight Special and I was shocked beyond belief. And I remember them having female backup singers too.
The female backing trio was known as Wildflower.
Look for us singing Hot Number on midnight special. It was also a hit.
@@ishledesmay I appreciate that, but I want to see Get OFF again from the Midnight Special
God I love this song! I still listen to it. Reminds me of roller skating. ❤
wooohoooo used to tear up the dance floor to this one
Always loved this song, highly sampled in Hip - Hop.
How did you not fall on the floor laughing? You have total control. I was getting a Rick James Super Freak (1981) vibe, but Foxy was first in 1978.
Rick James first album was in 1978 titled come get it!
I grow up in the 70’s when Foxy came out in 1978. We all thought they were a girl group until we seen them on ABS with Dick Clark. Totally surprised. Their all related from Cuba who left and made their home in Miami…🙀
They look nothing like what I thought that they would. This is still a jam.
A lot of great local bands in Miami, during the disco era. Foxy was top band back then, great musicians…Ish Ledesma guitar and vocals, Ritchie Puente guitar and vocals, Arnold P. on bass and vocals, Charlie Murciano keyboards and vocals and Joe Galdo on drums who was all over Gloria Estephan’s first record with the Miami Sound Machine.

KC and the Sunshine Band, And a few other groups all came out of that scene in the late 70’s
Everybody would get crazy at the club 70s night during the 90s when the DJ played this song. Never thought guy that looked like this sang it.
Man, those Latino dudes can rock it! They were a house band for a number of years, so they weren't amateurs.
Take me right back to my disco daze!
I grew up in Miami, I was 7 yrs old when this came out. We used to go to the roller skating rink and jamm to this song 🎵
Why do I feel like I could score a bump off that band???? LOL!!!
LoL
I could done without the video. Loved the song back in '78.
This and Hott Number was their jams .
This is s great dance song 80s teenager!!
I grew up listening to this..fun times
The first time we heard foxy in 78. We all thought they were a girl group.!. But to our surprise it was a guy group from Cuba instead.! They had the #1 song on the radio and Was the number one song in all the night clubs.!. 😊😇👍🏽😊
Talk about making you dance. Bought the 45. We had the best music.
Had their Poster on my wall! 🕺💃
This Song was 🔥🔥🔥 back in the day
This song was on the radio A LOT back in the 70s, I totally remember it. I'd never seen this video before, though. Funk/disco.
Danced to my feel were bleeding !!!! These days were fantastic
Gran ritmo, invita a bailar! Buenos recuerdos, mejores tiempos! 😉
The unseen background singers!! LOL love this song
Used to play this song over and over when I was really young, not sure if I cought the meaning at that time. I do also remember the video . What a fun song though.
Ohhh Mannn…. You just reacted to one of my FAVORITE disco jams!!!!!! My God,I am SO blessed to grow up when I did (late 70’s to mid 80’s) Where I did (Boogie Down Bronx and Brooklyn); this song will always make me get up and dance until the day I DIE ❤❤❤
I was 7yrs old when it came out😎
A one hit wonder of the 70s
This still the jamm!!!
Review Hot Number by Foxy!
Get Off was my favorite song...I thought it was a black group until recently. I still love the song it doesn't matter as the memories and why I liked the song will never change. I'm an 80's gal...Miss Hawaii USA '86 so this was my vibe. Aloha 🌺!
And you learned a few new dance moves.
Oh Yass! Showing my age here! We were getting off in may ways!! Some good Mary Jane and Fast Cars!! Hell yes! I love y’all ❤️🔥

Dressed to Kill i loved that thriller...
A Jam...STILL!

Yeah foxy was awesome in 1978
Oh, memories of the skating rink.
Probably better to just listen to the song. 🤣😅😂
Didn’t Prince have a “ Gett
Off”? Hot as hell!!!!!!😅
Stumbled on to this as I was going down memory lane (Bootsy, Funkadelic) and definitely remember as a kid I felt ripped off buying the album because that was the only good song on it, but loved the jam

all of it was black music funk,rock blues what u mean be fr
This was my jawn back in the day
You guys will know “Madamoiselle” by them.
Such a great track!
It was re-issued in the 80s. I remember dancing to it a lot in London clubs (mid 1980s).
Verdade Good men..
But they weren’t as explicit back then as “ WAP”. 😅
😂😆😂
WAP is moral rot, and doesn’t hold a candle to this groove; I feel bad for kids today; we knew how to dance, get down and have fun, while keeping our integrity and self respect ❤🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽
Im dancing
Don't front, they killed this shit!.
Senoir in high school when this come out, you guys are youngsters and don't know music; if you know you know.
everyone thought the had women! LOL
Borat on the bass! I used to have the 45 of this.
Ish !!!!!! 😻
Check out... (Hot Number by Foxy). The extended version is really good.
It’s better if you don’t watch the video. Just listen
Okay, I wish I could unsee this video😂I loved this song growing up. I honestly expected a funk group with ladies singing background too. Never knew what they looked like. Now everytime I heard it I'm gonna think about how UNCOOL they looked🤣🤣
Glad you're disappointed
Please see in viña del mar chile festival viñadel mar ❤
Of course! Wildflower sang the back vocals but they Foxy did not include them in the video, I don’t know why? It would have been just complete! They were AMAZING!!!! Listen Hot Number, Wildflower sings the back vocals really well and makes the band complete!
This song feels very Milli Vinilli-ish...
I really don't remember this. Interesting 😮
Casey Kasem told a great story about this song. He said Foxy's leader named Ish was driving past a school one day and heard small children singing this song's hook and it bothered him so much that he broke up the band.
Oh man I wish they played the version with the gay dancers going crazy just to see their reaction
P.S. foxy is what we called females ..foxy brown...
You can't tell me that the two men with grey beards haven't heard this before?
I remember the song. Never saw the video 🤦♂️
What???this song was the best..tito.puentes son was on the guitars..his name is richie
Loved when this came on. The Dance Floor Was Packed & Jumpin’. This Video ruined it for me. Thought the Singers were a Black Dude & Black Woman. Boy was I Wrong 😮😂😂
Like Bobby Caldwell, I thought they were Black. But ok, still was a hot jam.
This is wild and crazy the whole atmosphere one of you looks like Eddie Murphy, one of you looks like Dr. Boyce,and the other looks like Tariq Nasheed.
The guy which I will call Tariq Nasheed and sounds like him damn he sounds like Tariq Nasheed yall fukin with us.
Foxy Hot number is also a party song hype like Get off.

Cuban men had the funk
THOSE MOFOS THREW DOWN!
I always pictured a group that looked like Chic when I heard this song. I think I will forget seeing this video and continue to do so.
Glad you're disappointed
Love the song ❤️ but the visuals? 🤨
Too bad
This was my SHitttt growing up in W Philadelphia. But i thought .there were some black girls in the group..
How the two old heads in this podcast not now this ???
The guy on the left, in the brown dress shirt is famed Puerto Rican bandleader Tito Puentes' son Richie. Not the one in the tank top. The rest are all Cuban. Most of them could not even speak English well.
They Milli Vanilli that song!
Lol
This is not the real video,there is two ladies in the group singing the female parts
...cocaine.
How old are you guys. How do you not know this song. You guys are lying lol
Never saw the video LMAO.
ish ledesma is a cuban artist
I've never seen or heard of this song or band before. It seemed a bit dishonest not to have the female vocalists in the clip given that they contributed so much. The guy singing wearing the white shirt/grey pants & blue tie looked like a Thunderbirds puppet. The song was catchy and fun though.
The studios weren't paying extra money for the backup singers to travel, so they lipsynced the ladies part.
I think there are ladies in background singing but not in video..
Ma friends I know the song. Proved to it back in the day. I had no idea these dudes was white.
First of all the guy with the tank top is Tito Puente son lots of talent in his bloodline second you idiots forget people back then danced and they danced all the time anytime every single song that's just the way it was none of this uptight crap today or single dancing or whatever people really really danced back then so show a little respect they were very very good !!
Tito's son is actually the drummer.
They are Cuban
Here’s Prince’s Gett Off.
ua-cam.com/video/6f4BwQFF-Os/v-deo.html
Sorry I'm a Brazilian guy and my English isn't so good. What does "Get Off" really mean?
It can mean loosen up. dance, or be intimate with someone!
Omgoodness
I remember this song and loved it but the video was so hard to watch .
Sounds like a personal problem
