Hey man, not gonna say it, right? You know it, right? Just gonna leave the lyrics, right? btw - one of the greatest brazillian singers Tim Maia - Você Suddenly the pain of waiting is over And love has finally arrived I, who have always dreamed, but never believed much in myself I saw time go by, winter come again, but this time all the tears were gone A spell was cast My love You are more than what I know are more than what I thought are more than what I was expecting, baby You are something like this are everything to me are how I dreamed of, baby I'm happy now No, don't go away, no No, no, no, no, no You are more than what I know are more than what I thought are more than what I was expecting, baby You are something like this are everything to me are how I dreamed of, baby I'm happy now Don't, don't go away, no No, no, no, no, no No, don't go away No, don't go away No, don't go away I will miss you to death I will miss you to death I will miss you to death Don't go away Don't go away Don't go away

@@LouieCaporussoJr Oh, Louie, you just hit the spot. Every time I hear "I Wanna Get Next To You" by Rose Royce I get chills and my mind goes back to a party on New Years Eve 1977 and my first real kiss. So nice.
NOW you're talking!!! Heatwave was a beast. Most people only know "Always and Forever", but, their 2 hit dance tracks were the JAM. If you want another up-tempo song by Heatwave, check out "Groove Line" i actually liked it better than Boogie Nights. Great stuff Jamel!!
I suffer from depression and sometimes the feelings get too hard to deal with. That's when I grab my 🎧 and go to your channel. I know you're gonna put me in a good mood. 😊😊😊
Same here. I have bipolar disorder and have been on a downward spiral for quite a while now but watching his reactions puts a smile on my face every time.
dewdew34 my favorite tidbit about Temperton is when Quincy Jones decides to have Vincent Price do a spoken word section at the end of Thriller, Temperton wrote Price’s “rap” in a cab on the way to the studio.
That guy reminded me of Neil Peart the drummer of Rush, multitalented and he looked like him... the heatwave song.. always and forever... is engraved in me and my wife's rings... 42 years together and still going strong..
Hey Jamel! Heatwave had some classics in the 70's. Now you must hear their other great songs 'The Groove Line' and especially 'Always and Forever'. ✌🏽 out!
lbird yess- had a “system” in my ride- a lot of us did- and we cruised and bumped beats to a LOT of great stuff- I blared it with rock too! Any genre really- one that sticks out is “Paul Revere” , Beastie Boys! Tons off that album, Run DMC and soooo much more- great tunes and times!
The guy sitting on the right, keyboardist Rod Temperton, wrote and arranged for all of Heatwave’s hits, including “Grooveline” and “Always and Forever”. He later went on to write many other hits, including “Off The Wall”, “Rock With You”, “Thriller”, Baby Be Mine”, and “The Lady In My Life” for Michael Jackson, “Stomp!” for the Brothers Johnson, “Give Me The Night” for George Benson, “Baby, Come To Me” for Patti Austin and James Ingram, “Yah Mo B There” and “Sweet Freedom” for Michael McDonald/James Ingram. A tremendous talent with an amazing sense of groove, always working in the background. RIP Rod.
Rod Temperton the keyboardist wrote some absolute belters, like 'Rock with you' and 'Off the wall' (Michael Jackson), 'Ya mo b there' (Michael McDonald & James Ingram), Give me the night' (George Benson), 'Baby come to me' (Patti Austin & James Ingram), and 'Sweet Freedom' (Michael McDonald). Very talented man.
Great reaction. Check out, “Groove Line,” by Heatwave. The first line says, “Pack your grip, taking you on a trip.” It reminds me of my grandfather because he called a suitcase a grip. It confused me when I was little because I thought grip was a verb. Check it out just the same. Thank you again!
I saw Heatwave at the Manchester Apollo in the UK. I think they were the loudest band I’ve ever heard. My ears were ringing for hours after. Great band.
Rod Temperton was an absolute legend! How could such a geeky-looking guy be so damn funky? And that rhythm section: Czech and Swiss musicianship at its best
The first dance is called the 'Pelvic Thrust' and the second dance is the 'Circle Walk'...!! LOL This is my music growin' up back in the day...!! Peace from the SF Bay Area Cali 2/19/24
when I was in high school....at Robinson HS Tampa FL this song was played at the pep rallys by the pep band...it was awesome. our mascot was a Knight. he was a boogie knight.
Dude, so somehow you showed up on my UA-cam feed with your reaction to Pearl Jam - Black. When that song came out I was in my very early 20s and it was a pivotal song for me. Watching your reaction and appreciation to a song that I have heard more times then I can remember and still gives me goosebumps and makes me tear up...seeing how you enjoyed it was really special to me. I have watched a few more of your reactions to songs that I grew up with that mean so much to me personally; Crosby, Stills and Nash....dude, I saw them open for the Grateful Dead (and many other times) in Pittsburgh, it must have been 1993? I throughly enjoy watching you hear (really hear) these songs. I have subscribed and I am going back through your catalog of videos here, so don’t mind me if I leave you comments on some others, but you have really made me smile and I am glad I found your videos. Thanks man and keep doing what you do.
Wow. Cannot believe how fast your channel is growing. I subscribed around 300k, and that was probably a month ago. Congratulations man, you deserve it!
All the skating rings played this song. What I remember most was the DJ back in Jr. High School playing this song. We used to dance in a chain. Not so much the move the body makes but how everyone came into the middle of the dance floor Can you say memory lane!!
Jamel you sir, are amazing!!! I got you by nearly a decade and grew up listening to this an other songs but my man, you truly know how to connect us through music. God bless you! When you get a chance, I would love to see your reactions to Van McCoy & The Soul City Symphony - The Hustle as well as The Hughes Corporation - Rock the Boat. I picked up a Teach Peace shirt a couple of weeks ago and rock it every chance I get.
...ahhhhhh! thank you so much, sir j - i love heatwave - one of my very favourite bands. the man at the keyboard - to the right of the extraordinary and much-missed wilder brothers - is mr rod temperton who would go on to write "off the wall", "rock with you" and "thriller" for sir michael of jackson. the dance is 'the pelvic thrust' - it's an absolute must - just a shunt to the front - and a glide to the side.....get down!!
Love the reactions and commentary.......you should do a selection of One hit wonders.....starting with a classic "All Right Now" by Free....keep the vids and your message coming
Omg I was in the ninth grade...a freshman in HS out in the SF BAY AREA when this jam came out!! One of my favorite songs! THANKS MY FRIEND for taking me back for a few minutes!! Much love stay safe...oh fyi we had another dance move similar to thisback then called BODY LANGUAGE we used to dance to BRICK HOUSE and BOOGIE NIGHTS....PEACE OUT
Damn, I haven't heard this lady's name mentioned in a long time. " You Know How To Love Me", "Living Inside Your Love" and my favorite "Magic Mona" from the movie The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh! Such a deep, rich, jazz voice. My Dad had a crush on her.
amazing to think rod temperton..a white dude from England wrote this and thriller by mj Haha Pick up the pieces by average white band is another great uk disco song
"Badge", "Sunshine Of Your Love", "I Feel Free". I think Jamel would love "Can't Find My Way Home" by Blind Faith. Guarantee you his eyes would be closed.
THE DANCE - I don't know about the skiing / hip thrusts... But the little box step type dance they're doing, is a simple GRAPEVINE - a fundamental choreography move that EVERY stage dancer knows!
"If we can dance, then damnit let's dance" Love it dude! I struggle with depression and anytime I can let the music take me over is a blessing. I can always count on your videos to make me smile, keep it going Jamel!
One of my older sisters loved this song back in the day. She enjoyed dancing a lot, and would make up dances to these songs all the time. This tune: *"Flashlight"* (Parliament) *"Brick House"* (Commodores) *"Fire"* (Ohio Players) *"Get Off"* (Foxy) These were some of her favorite songs to dance to back in the 70's. And what surprised a lot of us was what a great dancer she was. You could show her a new move, and she would pick it up just like that...
This song was a sure way to get the dance floor crowded. It's one of the reasons we were so thin back in the 70's. We were out dancing at least three times a week. Brother Jemel, YOU ARE THE KING!!!!! Keep it going.
I'm still dancing ...sitting down. Gotta do what you can do. And, yeah, you can't worry when you're in the groove. That's what you call 'feelin' it'. Been feelin' it for 68 years and counting. Thanks for the break from the crazy.
The white guy playing keyboards is Rod Temperton, he wrote all the songs for Heatwave, plus he was hugely successful in the 70s and 80s having written Thriller and Off the Wall for Michael Jackson, Rock With You. He also wrote George Benson's hits "Give Me the Night" and "Love X Love", and Patti Austin's and James Ingram's US #1 hit "Baby, Come to Me", among many others. Temperton wrote the soundtrack for the 1986 film Running Scared. He won a Grammy Award in 1991 for his work on "Birdland", from Quincy Jones's album Back on the Block. Temperton wrote successfully for other musicians, his hits including "Stomp!" for The Brothers Johnson, , "Baby, Come to Me" for Patti Austin and James Ingram, "Love Is in Control (Finger on the Trigger)" for Donna Summer, and "Yah Mo B There" for Ingram and Michael McDonald. He also wrote for Herbie Hancock, The Manhattan Transfer, Mica Paris, Rufus and Chaka Khan and many others.
Wanna know the best roller skater that I ever saw? My 6th grade teacher, Mr. Jantz. Dude could do it all, skate backwards, sideways...amazing. He would go around corners fixing his comb over. I shit you not. He also taught me "too bad, so sad" and why some men are "confirmed bachelors". Thanks Mr. Jantz.
Dave Sampognaro MRM- another reaction channel- be just did face mask, so I thought you might be subbed to him too- a lot are that are subbed to Jamel as well-
This song WON a Skating tournament on my younger sister's birthday!!!! She had a SPINE operation and my girlfriend and I were in a SERIOUS accident!!! But I LOVED my Family So much that I was BOUND and DETERMINED to win the Tournament REGARDLESS of my INJURIES!!! This Song ELECTRIFIED Me Like An ATOMIC POWER PLANT!!! We FOUGHT back and WON the Tournament for my little sister!!! SHEER LOVE and DETERMINATION!!! For her and my family!!!! And I led the COMEBACK From The ENERGY and DETERMINATION I Showed for my Family!!! This Song is what LED my CHARGE!!!!
If it weren't for Debbie Boone's idiotic "You Light Up My Life," this record would have made it to number one, where it belonged. I loved it when it came out; I still have the single. Atmospheric disco records like this seemed so dreamy to me at the time, especially with the wall of sound production and vocals and the harp in the mix against the beat. I'd like to see you make more comments, honestly, about the music itself, the aspects of the recording you find interesting. More listening and less looking at videos, tbh, is what I'm looking for as a viewer.
So love songs are idiotic? I was in my early 20s in '77-'78, a child of the '50s. Guess I'm a sap, old school. I liked the love song. Evidently I wasn't alone, as YLUML was the biggest U.S. single of the '70s, setting records for the longest time spent in the #1 spot. I loved the eclectic music from the '60s and early '70s. I think the runaway popularity of a song more reminiscent of an earlier time probably symbolized the discontent of many music lovers during the disco era. When disco came along, almost all the people my age I knew were disappointed in the flashy 'disco ball' direction music was taking, although there was definitely some good music from the genre/era, such as Boogie Nights. To each his own. I think Jamel is doing a great job. His enthusiasm, good cheer, and good vibes bring hope for a generation younger than mine. I believe he's right, he was born after his time, a goodwill ambassador for his generation. The music, along with the videos, takes me back to the time of my youth, the atmosphere, the fashion, the good and the bad, memories. That's what music does, the videos just enhance the experience, IMHO. I despise the disharmony that we see among God's creation everywhere you look right now. Not everything from the past was bad, learn from the bad, savor the good. Be humble, be kind, spread joy, peace, & love.
@@susanlacour8527 OMG I was a kid when that Debbie Boone song came out and HATED it! It was the most mushiest song I had ever heard and they wouldn't stop playing it! I thought the Russians recorded it and they were trying to TORTURE us !
@@xoxxobob61 I know right....We would be all cool driving down the strip, with windows down, and radios blasting and THAT DAMN SONG would come on...groove killer....lol
You are getting extra use of that wig lately! Boogie Nights, Grove Line, Always and Forever... My High School Daze you are talking 40+ years ago my friend! The memories! Thank you!
This song, along with dozens of other hits from the 70's and 80's, is on my playlist. I'll be dancing while cleaning the house every week. And I roller skated to this song, too.
Love Heatwave! Rod Temperton is the keyboardist and a musical genius! He passed away in 2016 and I was so hurt. He has been a part of so much music in my life. But Heatwave is bad ass and you have to check out all their music in order to appreciate them to the fullest!
Have always loved this song. No way anyone could be in a bad mood listening to this! As far as the dance goes, I have no idea. But between their outfits and their dancing I’m pretty sure they were the ones who started aerobics! 😆❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Jamel i still love you. Im your 62 year old white mama and you are a joy to watch each and every day! I have health issues now so i cant stand very long or walk very long because my breathing becomes strained but im in my chair rocking with you and singing with you and when you play songs of the 70s especially it takes me back to such a happy time in my life when i was a teenager and very early 20s. I watched Soul Train every Saturday afternoon and i remember seeing the Soul Train dancers dancing to Let It Rip and Heatwave performing Boogie Nights and McFadden and Whitehead, Tavares and the list just keeps on going but you make me so happy to watch you having fun making us feel good and making us smile and you make me feel young again. Please dont ever leave because that would be a sad day. I love you take care and keep dancing and let the music play.

Tim Maia - Você
Suddenly the pain
of waiting is over
And love has finally arrived
I, who have always dreamed,
but never believed
much in myself
I saw time go by,
winter come
again, but this time
all the tears were gone
A spell was cast
My love
You
are more than what I know
are more than what I thought
are more than what I was expecting, baby
You
are something like this
are everything to me
are how I dreamed of, baby
I'm happy now
No, don't go away, no
No, no, no, no, no
You
are more than what I know
are more than what I thought
are more than what I was expecting, baby
You
are something like this
are everything to me
are how I dreamed of, baby
I'm happy now
Don't, don't go away, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, don't go away
No, don't go away
No, don't go away
I will miss you to death
I will miss you to death
I will miss you to death
Don't go away
Don't go away
Don't go away
I will miss you to death
I will miss you to death

Mr. Jamel!!! I am loving all this Throwbackness!!!! Please Consider Jungle Boogie by Kool and Gang on Soul Train.
This is another integrated group as well
Also the 2 guys singing are brothers from Dayton ohio
Can’t be a throwback party without “Car Wash” by Rose Royce!
AMEN SISTER!!!!!!!!
And I wanna get next to you! 🥁
Brothers Johnson !
Indeed. Dating myself but my stepdad took us to that movie in 1976/77. Loved the song since.
@@LouieCaporussoJr Oh, Louie, you just hit the spot. Every time I hear "I Wanna Get Next To You" by Rose Royce I get chills and my mind goes back to a party on New Years Eve 1977 and my first real kiss. So nice.
This band should’ve OWNED the late 70’s-mid 80s!! Rod Temperton (White dude on keyboards) SUCH an underrated song writer! This is a STRAIGHT UP JAM!!!
"Groove Line" needs to be on the playlist too now Jamel.
Mike K My absolute FAVORITE by these guys
Absolutely!
@Judi Dipillo Always; no matter the song.
Straight 🔥🔥🔥

Groove Line is awesome!

The keyboard player, Rod Temperton, went on to write Thriller, Baby Come To Me and many other hits.
yup...Temperton was responsible for that Michael Jackson hit sound that started with Heatwave.
A British fellow to boot, wrote so many top songs. He was a groove master.
dewdew34 my favorite tidbit about Temperton is when Quincy Jones decides to have Vincent Price do a spoken word section at the end of Thriller, Temperton wrote Price’s “rap” in a cab on the way to the studio.
@@liberaljag I didn't know he wrote the rap part, wow. Very creative fellow.
That guy reminded me of Neil Peart the drummer of Rush, multitalented and he looked like him... the heatwave song.. always and forever... is engraved in me and my wife's rings... 42 years together and still going strong..
Hey Jamel! Heatwave had some classics in the 70's. Now you must hear their other great songs 'The Groove Line' and especially 'Always and Forever'. ✌🏽 out!

Boogie Chores!💃💃💃
Karen D, 🤣🤣🤣 I was thinking the same thing!
I admit, there was a bit of mid-laundry boogie-ing as I folded towels 😂
Exactly HAHAHAHA😂😂😂👏👏👏👍
My Father told me they used to play this song in roller rinks all the time when he was a kid.
Man, I hated the kids who skated backwards while I was trying to stay off my butt. 🤦
He wasn't lying....they had another song named Groovline and Ain't no half stepping as well. JAMS
He tellen ya truth...I was in my mid 20s. Planted my rear on the rink floor, hard....Once and I went back to racing drag cars 😁
@@primeminister66 I also really like the song grooveline. It is long but very good.
@@dagneytaggart7707 My Dad is in his 50's and whenever we go to the few roller rinks left, he skates backwards. Maybe he even did it back then.
Rod temperton is on the organ, he wrote this song. He also wrote thriller for Micheal Jackson.
He wrote "Don't Stop til You Get Enough" but Heatwave passed on it so Michael Jackson did it on his Off The Wall album.
@@dj4080 He also was a huge influence and writer on Thriller.
And many more Jackson hits.
Nicholas Powell wow and I always thought Jackson wrote it himself. Seems he was a pretender
@@personalcheeses8073 check out the songs he wrote for other artists, you will be astounded
“Ain’t no half steppin’” is one of their funkier jams, they got great love songs too. Rod Temperton was a bad man.
Hell yeah! Also "Groove Line".
Indeed! Wrote Thriller, Off The Wall, Rock With You
Oh, yeah Jamel....pleasee...
It’s my birthday and you’re providing the party.😘

amazing to think rod temperton..a white dude from England wrote this and thriller by mj Haha Pick up the pieces by average white band is another great uk disco song
Now you have to do the "Horizontal Bop" by Bob Seger and the silver bullet band
Great Tune!
Awesome song choice
OMG!! We used to tear the floor up when this song came on at the dances after the games on Friday night!
The organist is the late great Rod Temperton who wrote for Michael Jackson. He wrote all of Heatwave's songs and a host of others.
One of my favorites.
Definitely a favorite! Gotta bust a move when it’s on. Thank you brother for spreading unity & love
Always thought of this song as the disco version of the Red Shoes fairy tale. Can't stop dancing.
Well said! Dancing has gotten me through very difficult times in my life. The natural high made me feel like a bird in flight. Love your channel!
I don't think you have discovered Cream yet. Check out Sunshine of Your Love, or Tales of Brave Ulysses.
Thank you!
Those are both great. I am also a big fan of Badge.
@Nilarko
YES! And Blind Faith!
"Badge", "Sunshine Of Your Love", "I Feel Free". I think Jamel would love "Can't Find My Way Home" by Blind Faith. Guarantee you his eyes would be closed.
@@sassymessmess9110 Damn, my eyes close just thinking about Can't Find My Way Home. Nice.
THE DANCE -
I don't know about the skiing / hip thrusts... But the little box step type dance they're doing, is a simple GRAPEVINE - a fundamental choreography move that EVERY stage dancer knows!
Oh man are you gonna love “ Pick Up the Pieces” by Scotland’s masters of funk- The Average White Band!
“Groove Line” by Heatwave was AWESOME!
"If we can dance, then damnit let's dance" Love it dude! I struggle with depression and anytime I can let the music take me over is a blessing. I can always count on your videos to make me smile, keep it going Jamel!
Forgot about this one. Me and Christy dancing the night away. Hole lot of fun. Man my feet won't stay still. Ha ha ha !!!! Thanks for that one !
One of my older sisters loved this song back in the day.
She enjoyed dancing a lot, and would make up dances to these songs all the time.
This tune:
*"Flashlight"* (Parliament)
*"Brick House"* (Commodores)
*"Fire"* (Ohio Players)
*"Get Off"* (Foxy)
These were some of her favorite songs to dance to back in the 70's.
And what surprised a lot of us was what a great dancer she was. You could show her a new move, and she would pick it up just like that...
One of my all-time top favorite songs! Groovline is right up there, too! Classic tunes. Brings back memories of 4th grade!
The guy playing keyboards is Rod Temperton, who wrote three of the songs on Michael Jackson's Thriller album, and also played on that record.
This song was a sure way to get the dance floor crowded. It's one of the reasons we were so thin back in the 70's. We were out dancing at least three times a week.
Brother Jemel, YOU ARE THE KING!!!!! Keep it going.
Used to think of roller skating back in the day, whenever I heard this; now I think of Mark Wahlberg. 😂
I appreciate what you add to these classics with your antics. Get down, brother. Get down!
Jamel, React to The Goove Line, and i'm done
Yes!!!!!?
I'm still dancing ...sitting down. Gotta do what you can do. And, yeah, you can't worry when you're in the groove. That's what you call 'feelin' it'. Been feelin' it for 68 years and counting. Thanks for the break from the crazy.
I listen to you at least a few times a day. It helps get through these times. Thank you
The white guy playing keyboards is Rod Temperton, he wrote all the songs for Heatwave, plus he was hugely successful in the 70s and 80s having written Thriller and Off the Wall for Michael Jackson, Rock With You. He also wrote George Benson's hits "Give Me the Night" and "Love X Love", and Patti Austin's and James Ingram's US #1 hit "Baby, Come to Me", among many others.
Temperton wrote the soundtrack for the 1986 film Running Scared. He won a Grammy Award in 1991 for his work on "Birdland", from Quincy Jones's album Back on the Block.
Temperton wrote successfully for other musicians, his hits including "Stomp!" for The Brothers Johnson, , "Baby, Come to Me" for Patti Austin and James Ingram, "Love Is in Control (Finger on the Trigger)" for Donna Summer, and "Yah Mo B There" for Ingram and Michael McDonald. He also wrote for Herbie Hancock, The Manhattan Transfer, Mica Paris, Rufus and Chaka Khan and many others.
Yessssss!!! This be my GROOOOVE THANG!!!!
Wanna know the best roller skater that I ever saw? My 6th grade teacher, Mr. Jantz. Dude could do it all, skate backwards, sideways...amazing. He would go around corners fixing his comb over. I shit you not. He also taught me "too bad, so sad" and why some men are "confirmed bachelors". Thanks Mr. Jantz.
The next Heatwave reaction "The Groove Line" More wig wearing throwbackness. By the way, please add facemasks to your merchandise line.
You watch MRM too?!
@@kimberlinibambini1988I'm not certain what you are asking. MSM? As in mainstream media?
Dave Sampognaro MRM- another reaction channel- be just did face mask, so I thought you might be subbed to him too- a lot are that are subbed to Jamel as well-
Dave Sampognaro Modern Renaissance Man to be special
*specific

my family!!!! And I led the COMEBACK From The ENERGY and DETERMINATION I Showed for my Family!!! This Song is what LED my CHARGE!!!!
Check out Always and forever also.
I loved this song! I was a kid and I waited for it to come on the radio, waiting with my tape recorder.
If it weren't for Debbie Boone's idiotic "You Light Up My Life," this record would have made it to number one, where it belonged. I loved it when it came out; I still have the single. Atmospheric disco records like this seemed so dreamy to me at the time, especially with the wall of sound production and vocals and the harp in the mix against the beat. I'd like to see you make more comments, honestly, about the music itself, the aspects of the recording you find interesting. More listening and less looking at videos, tbh, is what I'm looking for as a viewer.
Ooh, I hated THAT song and the played over and over and over and over................
So love songs are idiotic? I was in my early 20s in '77-'78, a child of the '50s. Guess I'm a sap, old school. I liked the love song. Evidently I wasn't alone, as YLUML was the biggest U.S. single of the '70s, setting records for the longest time spent in the #1 spot. I loved the eclectic music from the '60s and early '70s. I think the runaway popularity of a song more reminiscent of an earlier time probably symbolized the discontent of many music lovers during the disco era. When disco came along, almost all the people my age I knew were disappointed in the flashy 'disco ball' direction music was taking, although there was definitely some good music from the genre/era, such as Boogie Nights. To each his own. I think Jamel is doing a great job. His enthusiasm, good cheer, and good vibes bring hope for a generation younger than mine. I believe he's right, he was born after his time, a goodwill ambassador for his generation. The music, along with the videos, takes me back to the time of my youth, the atmosphere, the fashion, the good and the bad, memories. That's what music does, the videos just enhance the experience, IMHO. I despise the disharmony that we see among God's creation everywhere you look right now. Not everything from the past was bad, learn from the bad, savor the good. Be humble, be kind, spread joy, peace, & love.
@@susanlacour8527 OMG I was a kid when that Debbie Boone song came out and HATED it! It was the most mushiest song I had ever heard and they wouldn't stop playing it! I thought the Russians recorded it and they were trying to TORTURE us !
@@xoxxobob61 I know right....We would be all cool driving down the strip, with windows down, and radios blasting and THAT DAMN SONG would come on...groove killer....lol
@@susanlacour8527 no shi£££££ hated it too
You are getting extra use of that wig lately! Boogie Nights, Grove Line, Always and Forever... My High School Daze you are talking 40+ years ago my friend! The memories! Thank you!
That was called the Cocaine hip thrusts
This was my favorite group around 1977-78.....saw them in concert with A Taste of Honey and the Isley Brothers in 77. What an amazing show.
Still hoping to hear something from KISS. They had a disco hit with I Was Made For Lovin’ You!
Worst garbage they ever did
Allan Union I actually thought some of Paul’s stuff on Music From The Elder was worse
@@allanunion2709 no, it was good dude !
Beth, is still a Beautiful song!!
I loved that song. "Also Hard Luck Woman", " Detroit Rock City" and OMG "Beth".
This song, along with dozens of other hits from the 70's and 80's, is on my playlist. I'll be dancing while cleaning the house every week. And I roller skated to this song, too.
Hay bro, can you do a reaction to Average White Band, “ Love of your own.” They will blow your mind. Outstanding band
Actually there's about 5 songs from AWB he should react to.😊
Love Heatwave! Rod Temperton is the keyboardist and a musical genius! He passed away in 2016 and I was so hurt. He has been a part of so much music in my life. But Heatwave is bad ass and you have to check out all their music in order to appreciate them to the fullest!
Have always loved this song. No way anyone could be in a bad mood listening to this! As far as the dance goes, I have no idea. But between their outfits and their dancing I’m pretty sure they were the ones who started aerobics! 😆❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Jamel i still love you. Im your 62 year old white mama and you are a joy to watch each and every day! I have health issues now so i cant stand very long or walk very long because my breathing becomes strained but im in my chair rocking with you and singing with you and when you play songs of the 70s especially it takes me back to such a happy time in my life when i was a teenager and very early 20s. I watched Soul Train every Saturday afternoon and i remember seeing the Soul Train dancers dancing to Let It Rip and Heatwave performing Boogie Nights and McFadden and Whitehead, Tavares and the list just keeps on going but you make me so happy to watch you having fun making us feel good and making us smile and you make me feel young again. Please dont ever leave because that would be a sad day. I love you take care and keep dancing and let the music play.
You dancing was great! I have *never* seen the video of Heatwave singing this song. Wow, their clothes were super tight! 💃🏾 🕺🏻
Best T-shirt comment I have ever seen. Respect Jamel.
