    The reason why disco music was so alive compared to dance music of today is because every sound was alive, percussions, guitars, everything was recorded with a band. Such energy and feeling!

    The production, arrangement, and playing on this track are ridiculously good - not to mention the perfectly pitched hard-boiled soul vocals. The extended mix is a tour-de-force, somebody worked their ass off to create this. Could not be repeated. Have loved this for years!

      I remember Linda Clifford being introduced by Don Cornelius on Soul Train. I think she was wearing over the knee boots, had ALL that hair and looking beautiful. She opened her mouth to sing and BABY! THAT VOICE! Rediscovered this song a week ago and have been playing it over and over non-stop....even when it's not playing, I can hear the voice, the instrumentation...WOW!

    Linda Clifford (and the Jones Girls) was one of the most slept on singers of the Disco era!

      @JazzMaestra 11 років тому +37

      I think you kind of misread my statement. I was not talking exclusively about this song, but rather how often Linda Clifford was and has been overlooked as one of the most potent vocalists of the Disco era. Typically when this era is recalled by pundits, they mention Donna Summer and Gloria Gaynor, but often leave out the name of Linda Clifford. Hence my statement, "Linda Clifford (and the Jones Girls) was one of the most slept on singers of the Disco era!" She got a lot of airplay in certain regions and at many clubs, but she never did receive the accolades and monetary rewards that were commensurate to her tremendous talent.

    Curtis Mayfield produced some wonderful albums & some of the best music from the 70s era on his own Curtom label, mainly midtempo grooves & ballads, but this uptempo dancer swept the dancefloors whenever it was played, with the Jones Girls on backing vocals, it was also Linda Cliffords mega seller
