    You have just experienced REAL R&B! This song came out in 1977 and yes, during the famous skating rink days. They sure don't make songs like this anymore.

    Beautiful song from the 70's....a time when men groomed their long hair or Afros and then came punk and everyone spat at each other...but bands and songs like this lasted till the 80's till the dawn of the teeny boy band and the stampede of hip hop took over and things have never been the same since. 🎶🇬🇧🇺🇸🎶

    My Friend. If you like *The Floaters.*
    Check out:
    *New York City* - I'm Doing Fine Now (break up song that your mom probably played this one hit wonder from the 70's).
    Definitely Motown's "The Four Tops":
    *Reach Out, I'll Be There*
    *Keepers of the Castle*
    *Ain't No Woman Like the One I Got* (Great for this time of the year 💝)
    *Are You Man Enough* from the movie *Shaft in Africa* (The third Richard Roundtree Shaft movie).

      I think we all had K-Tel or Ronco LPs back then ;) A cheap way of having at least 20 hit songs from recent charts... I still have some. 'SUPERBAD' was my first by K-Tel in 1973 or 4...

    Your assessment of this song and comments at the end were spot on, especially about how someone would sing this song today! Their moves were smooth and classy, very reminiscent of Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - the group that launched Teddy Pendergrass, who you should check out doing "I Miss You", "Hope That We Can Be Together Soon", "Bad Luck" and "The Love I Lost." (They also did the original version of "Wake Up Everybody.")

    This was the 1970’s love song that you got the girl of your dreams on the dance floor for the the last dance of the night and many a family was started listening to this song and absolute beauty from 1977. I’m now 66 and still listen to these fantastic 1970’s classics.

To put this song in context, this was released at a time when everyone was into astrology, as reflected in the songs "No Matter What Sign You Are" by Diana Ross & The Supremes: ua-cam.com/video/D_s5H8tQpAw/v-deo.html, "I Can't Be You, You Can't Be Me" by The Glass House (featuring future Supreme Scherrie Payne): ua-cam.com/video/z5YeT02HNDA/v-deo.html, "I'm Going By The Stars In Your Eyes" by The Dramatics:

    I've never understood how we went from that sweet soul sound of the 70s.......to rap & hip hop. That old stuff had melody & when you hear it decades later....it brings back memories. Here's another favorite, by The Dramatics. Notice there's NO 'scratching' of records.....or borrowing riffs from other songs. There's actual music.....& REAL musical instruments. Not just people chanting & talking fast. ua-cam.com/video/6jk7wiDGuiQ/v-deo.html And they convey a 'message' on social issues, but still manage to get the point across without it sounding like EVERY other one-hit-wonder rapper.
