I'm 77yrs old now and was lucky to have been young in the 60's soul/Motown era and also 70's disco era, so saf howuch rhe world has changed but thank god we have UA-cam to remind us of the good times.
I was 20 when disco really took off. We were always dancing at a place called Poison Apple every weekend. Brings back great memories, I'm 58 now and can't dance anymore due to back and neck problems. In my mind I will always be there, good times and great people. Everybody just wanted to have fun, didn't matter who was this or who was that.
I wanna cry listening to this song. This is the song that I love and has been in my mind my whole life. I was 7 years old when this song was released. Thank you Van McCoy and rest in peace!
And sadly Van McCoy Died at age 39 from a heart attack... This was his biggest success in 1975, sadly 4 years later he was gone. Makes you wonder how far he could have went - yes there were some recordings after the Hustle, that did not reach the same heights, but I think all musicians have a bit of a lull between big successes.
There are rumors that he actually died from AIDS but that disease still was "unknown" until 1981. He died in 1979 but I get the feeling that his heart attack may have been related to AIDS. Unfortunately McCoy (despite being a GREAT singer, songwriter, and orchestra conductor) never became very famous because he very definitely was gay and was perhaps afraid the world would find out about that fact. I have met multiple music industry businesspeople who knew that he very definitely was gay. Sad that America in the 60's and 70's was too intolerant for a gay musical genius to become a star.
@@misterfrias Actually, that could be totally possible... but it even could have been caused by him being a chain smoker of menthol cigarettes, and I know he definitely was a chain smoker.
Keep on Hustlin', also by Van McCoy, is great as well. It came out a year after the original Hustle. I have both albums pictured---Disco Baby and the Disco Kid. (Jan Griffiths, on hubby's account).
I was born in 1968 so growing up in the 70s this was the most 70s song I ever heard its so 70s forget glam rock the hustle is the most 70s sounding song ever
Most people know this as one of the songs that always got used at school dances in the 2000's. Now it's a JoJo reference. Only a matter of time before "Cupid Shuffle" turns into a JoJo reference, too.
Negli anni 70 si ballava in disco anche di pomeriggio. Io ero dj. Ed alle ore 15 come disco d'apertura augurando buon divertimento iniziavo la scaletta proprio con THE HUSTLE . Era subito un riempipista. L'album 33 giri aveva anche altri brani ballabili. Grazie VAN MAC COY per averci fatto ballare con the Hustle. tutt'oggi sempre gradevole. Indimenticabile🇮🇹🎼
I can't hear this without goosebumps, a lump in my throat and so many great memories of the time , place and all my loved ones were alive and we were so happy as a family. The Power of music never stops astounding me and fair to say I'm stuck in a time warp, the 70s - OH YEAH !!! HI from Australia people .
I strongly agree what memories this song do as a littlie girl i rember my love ones jamming back in the days that generation gone home wish it could start all over again we were living not dying be bless🙏🙏💔
The crap of life is we all suffer bad times but as long as we music like this we will all ways remember the great times with the people we love and miss, all the best from sligo, lreland, 👍🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Bring it all back not because we are thinking of the past but because it is music for everyone but it is the only tHing there should be kids would love it .thay could sing and dance again might even change attudes
Music is the language of the Soul. If your an empath or a sensitive a song will often evoke an emotion that will take you to a specific time and place. Consider yourself special.
Van McCoy was a real talent who composed other songs as well. This was a huge hit in the summer of 1975. A unique sound never quite heard before. Pick up The Pieces was great too by the Average White Band. Fun times back then.
I dare everyone that reads this post to dance this song at 12 pm wherever you are put some head phones on and get loss in the wonders of the instrument to celebrate your life get a friend to do it with you God bless always xxx It's amazing and I am great ful to be alive. I am currently going through test for cancer so celebrate x
THE 70'S WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST DECADE'S EVER FOR MUSIC AND STYLE. SADLY IN ANOTHER 2 OR 3 DECADES THIS MUSIC WILL ALMOST BE IN OBLIVION. THE OLDER GENERATION WILL STOP EXISTING AND THE NEW GENERATION WILL NOT APPRECIATE THIS KIND OF MUSIC, BUT I WILL BE LISTENING TO THIS EVEN IF IM IN MY 90'S TILL THE DAY I DIE. IF YOU WILL ALSO BE LISTENING TILL YOU'RE OLD, AND READY TO KICK THE BUCKET, GIVE ME A BIG HELL YEAH!!!!
I worry very much about the soul and R&B classics from 1960 through to 1975. THEY seem to have faded away never to be heard from again. I promote the HELL out of it. But I dig the disco too. Gives me the chills. I was 16 when this was a hit on the radio
@@trishaulenbach8175 UNFORTUNATELY TRISH, THE MUSIC WE'RE REFERRING TO IS DYING AND WILL PERHAPS DIE OUT SOME 20 YEARS OR SO FROM NOW. JUST THE SAME WAY MUSIC FROM THE 50'S AND OLDER DIED. NEW MUSIC COMES OUT AND THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE WILL BE INTO. THE OLDIES WILL BE FORGOTTEN BY THE NEWER GENERATION. HOPEFULLY THEIR WILL STILL BE SOME PEOPLE THAT WILL LISTEN AND TREASURE THE MUSIC WE DID. I HOPE I REMEMBER MY DANCING MOVES (IM A SPECTACULAR DANCER AS TOLD BY OTHERS) SO YEARS FROM NOW I CAN PUT "YOU SHOULD BE DANCING" AND SHOW THE YOUNGSTERS HOW GOOD DANCING WAS BACK THEN.
I remember when this song came out; I was on a flight to San Diego and one of the girls invited me to a disco. Pure fun. O listening to France Jolie or Laura Brannigan. Best time of my life. I was single, had money and hair.
Ah...the summer of 1975...what great memories those were growing up during that hot Midwestern summer!!! I was 9 years old and had an AM transistor radio (remember those?). I would hold that transistor radio up to my ear while riding my bicycle. Songs like "Love Will Keep Us Together", "Rhinestone Cowboy" and "The Hustle" would constantly play on my local AM Top 40 station that summer. I wish I could go back in time and do it all over again (*sigh*). :'(
Yes. I was 7 and also remember that summer and the road trips with the fam in the Chevy Impala, hearing this and Philadelphia Freedom, Beach Baby, Jive Talkin and deciding what to name our pet rock. Remember those? Ahhh simpler times indeed!
Absolutely! This song is one of my earliest memories. 75 and 76 were sunny hot summers in the UK (we do get them occasionally!). I’m sure the song was on the radio constantly. 40+ years on and I still never get sick of it. 😊👍
77 now and still miss the 70's, disco duck, past loves and friends....What a special time it was.....Now if I just can find my bellbottoms and pipe......
Cuantos años sin saber de ti hermosa melodia .Gracias x compartirlo. Era fondo musical en el programa mi secretaria .produccion mexicana "Que Bonita Familia pero que bonita Familia".años 80s .jajajajajajaja que hermosos años .
Ola me ase recordar toda vída de mi época de la música disco y ahora con amor para todos los que somos de los años de los 70 oíamos estás clase de música nunca se nos va olvidar porque está en nuestros tiempos y nuestros corazones
I was feeling flustered, frustrated down and out, and WHAM!!! this song zoomed me to a magical time period of peace and harmony. Thanks Van. we miss you.
hey guess what..was feeling the same way..Alexa played a different version so I utubed the original..the rest of the day was like the sun came out and love was everywhere .got lost in the comments and found lots of kindred souls...made my day!
If I am ever no longer here on this planet.. and this video stays on for infinity. I wish to say that this is/was my favourite song. In it contains all the joyous highs of life and conversely the feeling of those times lost to the past forever. Bless you Van. Forever.
For me, my first ever disco record - absolute magic - dancing with the girls. Gateway to soul etc - I was 17 years old in 1975 when this topped the Billboard Hot 100.
Awesome 70s tune, I get deja vu listening to it. I love the orchestration, it's a Timeless classic, thanks to Van. Yes, it's a privilege to be in the company of all you fine people that appreciate timeless beauty. Stay safe and beautiful.
The sound of summer 1975! I avoided the dance floor when this cheesy tune was played back then but 41 years later it brings back so many happy and fun memories of those easier times.
When I heard this song I remember the best years, the 70s with friends, friends, beach, disco, and the quality of music, to dance: Soul, Funky, Disco, Hustle, was part of and will continue to be part of our lives.
came from tiktok this is gonna be my song of the year 2023!!! this reminds me how i just enjoy life and music when i was young, no depression and overthinking and shit. im gonna get my shit together
A fond memory of my mother, my sis and I doing the hustle in 1975 in the living room, rocking this tune via our brand new console stereo. It had an 8-track, phono, and FM/AM, and was big as a house.
Born in 1975. I got to keep one foot in the 70s and one in the 80s. I got the best two decades in the history of this planet. I love them both so much.
Cada vez que escucho esta melodia se me pone la piel de gallina, da una serenidad y felicidad, increíble, recuerdos de juventud que ya no están, es una lástima
With the incomparable Steve Gadd laying down the drum groove. What a great old tune. In that summer of 1975...the 10th of my then very young life, this song was playing everywhere all the time.
As I walked in to my first interview as dance instructor - I was asked to demo a dance to this song...dancing to 70's music was and is still up high and happy!!!!! godly!
Every time I hear this, it takes me back to when I was in nursery...Falkner (pronounced 'fawkner') Day Nursery to be precise. I was four at the time and I remember two nursery nurses stick out, Nurse Mary and Nurse Pat. Mary was a blonde and, not only did she have big hair (this was the 1970s) but I remember her wearing black flares and matching chunk-heeled shoes whereas Pat had centrally-parted hair and I think wore a dress but DEFFO (as we say in Liverpool) brown-coloured tights and flat sandals. I can remember what the nursery looked like as if it was yesterday; orangey-brown curtains on the inside, not to mention beds for us to lie on and outside, a paddling pool (well, it WAS the summer).
Used to love dancing to the hustle with the girls on a friday night at the local youth club. Also makes me remember sunny days at the fair. Great memories. How id love to go back to the wonderful seventies.

Walking into a disco in the 70s this is what they played
Read it somewhere, "Music is the closest thing to a Time Machine"

1975 , Greeley Colorado, we hussled in the dorms, such great times those were. Kudos to the class of 1975 😊🤎
Left us 40 years ago today - at the ridiculously young age of 39. Thankfully the wonderful music he produced lives on.
Always admired the drums and bass... Got that groove 😎👌
With the incomparable Steve Gadd laying down the drum groove. What a great old tune. In that summer of 1975...the 10th of my then very young life, this song was playing everywhere all the time.
Gosh it seems like only yesterday when we were young happening thangs and our lives were ahead of us ... where has the time gone
A masterpiece. We that lived through this period of fantastic music and records are blessed people. Just imagine what it means having missed it...
I remember entering into the discos in 1975 and playing this song...no one would be sitting !!
1973, '71 t-bird, 5:45 am , 19 years old driving to work, turn on the tunes, listened to this every morning. What a way to start the day.
BUT the song is 75
A great disco song! The 70s easily the best decade of the 20 century in so many ways!
1982 my birth year... But man, this was life. Cool beat, smooth melody, great vibes, amazing groove. I'm hustling.
DON'T LET YOUR DREAMS BE DREAMS. JUST DO IT! DO THE HUSTLE!!
Old school music is the best music ever
Magical sound to the highest degree. 1975 was a great year for music. The beginning of the disco era.😃💚💽💃👍...
The mechanism will never die
As I walked in to my first interview as dance instructor - I was asked to demo a dance to this song...dancing to 70's music was and is still up high and happy!!!!! godly!
Is this the correct video where we talk about JoJo?
Lovely! Its a "collective 70's songs" whose music is simply a "CLASSIC!" 🤗💖
Top tune. Brings back so many memories. Best disco tune of the 70s 😎
Back when music was clean, good, and simple.
Brings tears to my eyes!
Weren’t rock bands starting to pop up in the 70s ?
And funky!
Lol "clean", that's a good one right there!
@@revannihilus7961 people forget just how much drugs people consumed during those times 😂 it definitely was not clean
Every time I hear this, it takes me back to when I was in nursery...Falkner (pronounced 'fawkner') Day Nursery to be precise. I was four at the time and I remember two nursery nurses stick out, Nurse Mary and Nurse Pat. Mary was a blonde and, not only did she have big hair (this was the 1970s) but I remember her wearing black flares and matching chunk-heeled shoes whereas Pat had centrally-parted hair and I think wore a dress but DEFFO (as we say in Liverpool) brown-coloured tights and flat sandals.
I can remember what the nursery looked like as if it was yesterday; orangey-brown curtains on the inside, not to mention beds for us to lie on and outside, a paddling pool (well, it WAS the summer).
Maravilhosa época, excelentes músicas!!! Esta marcou minha vida!!!
Saúde e sucesso à todos!
Van McCoy deserves an Unsung episode, please TV One!
