      @@solidtron1965 It depends what you want. Try a yt search for 'disco 70s'. But if you'd like to try some other styles, try Vangelis, 'Simon and Garfunkel', Smokey, Dr Hook, 'Emerson, Lake and Palmer', for a start. You could also try some French, Italian, Greek and Spanish music from the 70s. And if you'd like something different yet again, try 'Rodrigo y Gabriela', try some Spanish classical guitar, some waltzes and marches, some Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms. There's no shortage of great music but it's not promoted. Have fun. 🙂

    Dude, I just realized that this song is from the 1981 album "something special", by Kool & The Gang. Therefore, she is forty years old, FORTY YEARS OLD.
    She is older than most people who comment on UA-cam videos. Despite this, she is still hugely successful at parties and clubs. After all this time, It still makes people want to get up, and dance, and have fun.
    Even today's kids, who didn't enjoy it, and weren't even alive, during the eighties like it. If this is not a masterpiece, then I don't really know what a masterpiece is.

      @@willritter4076 With all due respect, I disagree. At least in my view, the age of a song should be counted from its release, not from the date it plays on the radio. This song was released on September 24, 1981, on the album "Something Special" by Kool & The Gang, so in a way it is even correct to think that she is not yet 40 years old, because it is still March, but in no way some will have to wait until 2022 to celebrate this achievement.
      But it's just my way of thinking, if you think differently, that's fine by me. Peace. Iuri Buscácio

    To be honest, this track is killing 98% of whatever is on "Pop Radio" today. Kool & the Gang got down for real.

      +Danny Fernandez 98% of any year's pop ends up in the 'dustbin of history'; it's the cream-of-the-crop like this that becomes living history.

      I'd be honored if some fans of late 70s/early 80s groove would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of SEPTEMBER by Earth Wind & Fire and HEART TO HEART by Kenny Loggins on my channel in tribute to the masters. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and keep on grooving.
