That refrain ("Leave your worries behind, 'cause rain, shine..." etc.) is just about the best melodic line I have ever heard. I will never get tired of this song.
At 38 yrs young. I’m here for those lines! Going through some tough times and I didn’t know why I kept hearing this beat in my mind until I found myself here !!
This song solidifies the point that ROD TEMPERTON is here. Temperton went on with Quincy to do Michael Jackson, George Benson, Chaka Kahn, Herbie Hancock, and others. His career suddenly ended and everyone was aghast! I, personally, heard it in you, Rod Temperton, in Boogie Nights, the hit preceding this Grooveline! Am still in shock about your passing. You made some jams. Just read the 1,000's of comments. R.I.P.
As an Iranian American who came here legally, I was so blessed with this song and still enjoying it today. I’m always leaving my worries behind all thanks to Heatwave. Thank you for this amazing song🎉🎁🎉🙏🔥✝️🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌈🌈🌈🌈
heard this song for the first time the other day at the grocery store. the bass line is what drew me in. shazam'd it and listened to it like 5 times now.
The year was 1978, I was turning 21 and 5 days later I gave birth to my beautiful daughter. Such an incredible time!! Disco was Hot smoking and was awesome! Good times, trying times or so we thought.. How many miss good music like this in 2023? I know I do.
I was 15 when this song came out, just loved this jam, still do decades later. Listening 2 it makes me feel like being @ home again😊 Old school nvr dies.
In 1978 I was 18 going on 19 in August. Disco was still the thing and Heatwave was my #1 favorite group. They are still one of my favorite groups be ALWAYS AND FOREVER.
Always And Forever was used as a wedding song for many friends and family for more than 15 years. When my wife and I were married in 1986, our wedding song was A Ribbon In The Sky by Stevie Wonder.
Hi Lauren, wasn't that the best of times? I wore through 2 pairs of skates and loved every minute of it! You stay groovy now...catch ya on the flip side!
Consider yourself lucky no matter how old you are now. you lived through the best of times. forget the internet and all this garbage, those really were the best of times.
My sister and I also loved this music she's also gone now maybe they're riding the groove line together and having a blast and someday we will join them! Much love
Yeah, I'm getting freaking old too. Was in grocery store yesterday and this tune came on while I was in frozen food section. I just stood there and enjoyed it as it sounded good then. Still sounds good today 44 years later. Damn I miss the 70's.
"Got to be good looking, because he's so hard to see" is definitely the God's honest truth. Very truthful, yet creative in every way, indeed. Good music for the ears, heart, mind, and spirit ❤
I was a white teenager when disco music had it's day. And let me tell you it spoke to me as much as any other genre of that time. I still listen to it if I want to feel good or get "picked up."😊
"Always and Forever" was pretty memorable too. Monster vocals on Rod Temperton's song. Rod who? Rod Temperton the guy who wrote Thriller, Off The Wall and Rock With You. Whaaat?!
I'm so hung up on this song! I just discovered it in someone else's play list last night and I've been obsessed since then. It's such a beautiful song, so well performed, it has harmonic and melodic complexity, but it's fun too. Wonderful.
If you like Groove Line you'd probably be interested in Rod Temperton's other hits: Thriller, Rock with You, Off the Wall, Lady in my Life, Give me the Night, Stomp, Yah Mo B There, and not to mention his own band's Boogie Nights, and Always and Forever. For a Brit, he sure had a lot of soul. :)
My dad used to listen to this when I was a kid in the 90s. I'm so glad I was brought up on awesome music. This song is still just as good in 2020 as when I first heard it!
I first heard this song on the radio around 1998 when I was about 15 years old. I was _STAR STRUCK_ I tell you. 🤩 Heatwave and Earth, Wind, and Fire are *PURE EXPERIENCES* that cannot fully be described. I *LOVE* listening to the layers of their music. They always calm me down after a difficult day at work. 🥰
There may be more complex and relevant forms of music, but DISCO is pure joy. Its job is to make your body move, put a smile on your face and warm your soul. What could be more relevant??
I remember when they came out and I still enjoying them today. Dance in the rain 🌧 people, don't focus on what's wrong. Be grateful for what's right. Peace to all and walk through life in spiritual peace.
78 Summertime....It’s the weekend and time to go clubbing...Time to leave your worries behind....This song was my party song..tore the dance floor up on this tune 💃🏽PAAR TAAY!!💃🏽
After football practice, me and my brothers would get a 6 pack and some homegrown and dance. Boy those really were the good times!!!
What a ride. ✌️
Where are the girls ??
AWesome!

I completely agree!
Songs were generally more positive and optimistic in those days 👌
Good song though sounds like a song to scifi action horror movie
@khalilreid I hadn't thought of that before, but you are right. It does have a Halloweeny overtone to it in places. Cool thx!
I have always enjoyed Heatwave, and the ability of the group to harmonize with perfection.
The 70's one of the greatest decades of music that ever hit our ears
These boys were pure gold
Song debuted in the 80's actually Mike!!!!
Lol!!! My bad you right!!!!
Yowsah yowsah yowsah! Sure was! I still listen and groove! Danced to this one with boyfriend(now my Husband of 39 years) at the Discotec!
HOO! OOH!

Amen to that. SPECTACULAR song!!!

Heatwave's bass lines are always powerful and very characteristic... This is stainless!👍🇦🇷
Always loved the bass in their songs. Great driving music! Ah, the 70's... a lot has changed since then!
heard this song for the first time the other day at the grocery store. the bass line is what drew me in. shazam'd it and listened to it like 5 times now.
That bass beat is so uplifting. Wish it was 1978 again. Great time to jam.
I'd gladly go back to 1978 lol

Same here Nick...you know you can still jam to this ...great music great times😊

That opening riff gets that anticipated feeling of fun and excitement that can only be cured by getting up and gettin down you groovy people 😆
Right on! Exactly!
That's what it does for me
YES! YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN! I WAS 11 IN 1977! GREAT SONG! 🎤🎤
Eric Johns signature funky riff sounds coming from his 1960's Fender Deluxe Telecaster guitar makes all the difference.

We're missing not only Funk, but fun Funk! What a time to be alive to have the best groovin' tunes ever! 🔥🔥🔥
I remember roller disco skating to this awesome tune, back in 1979!! ❤
Hi Lauren, wasn't that the best of times? I wore through 2 pairs of skates and loved every minute of it! You stay groovy now...catch ya on the flip side!
Consider yourself lucky no matter how old you are now. you lived through the best of times. forget the internet and all this garbage, those really were the best of times.
I bet you rocked it! I could never skate very well 😭
Damn. Wish I could have been there too...but the 90s were awesome too.
I wish I was alive back then. Born in the wrong era.
My late brother use to listen to songs like this ,its a shame he is no long here to listen with me ! Miss you big brother!❤
I’m so sorry for your loss. He’s living on through this music.

Very Cool.
The Groove Line is without a doubt the #1 absolute Best DANCE Record ever to be played over the biggest sound systems in the world!
They need to do a biopic for this band...their music is incredible and their story is amazing.
🗣️💪💪💪😎
Yes endo, they should. Five nationalities made up this band!!
I remember when they were profiled on TV One's Unsung. That was a great episode.
Totally agree
It's on unsung, the story of Heatwave on UA-cam
Rod Temperton was a badd man! If it wasn't for him, the groove genius of heatwave would have never happened. RIP Rod
Yes! So true. Also his songwriting happened for Michael Jackson as well.
true that
Cleethorpes should be Proud! ❤
Dug this as a teenager. Happy to be able to dance to it today. How could you not!
I'm born in the 80's so i wasn't alive yet to hear this blessing!!!
But this is one of the greatest grooves I've ever heard!!
i was born in the early 1990s if it wasn't for my mom and dad I'll never vibe to this ❤
1978
Great sound! There are not enough superlatives to describe the gem of a group
Great disco song. Love the bass line and the horn section.
I agree groove line was their best song such great memories of 78 my senior year in high school

Good music, a melody, wonderful arrangements, singing and beat - real music so unlike the nonsense that is passing as music right now.
I graduated high school in 1978, 18 years old n no cares ... Dancing to this at the Lime Light in Atlanta Ga ... Good times ... 💃🏼
And you know what Angela you looked great doin it!
Just commented about the Limelight in Chicago on another vid and then saw this. Great times I'm sure.
I remember dancing to this in my living room when I was 6. Still dancing to it now.

Get up and dance !!!!!!!!!
"Got to be good looking, because he's so hard to see" is definitely the God's honest truth. Very truthful, yet creative in every way, indeed. Good music for the ears, heart, mind, and spirit ❤

Actually, this is a blend of pop and funk. Just because you can dance to a song doesnt make it disco. Not being rude, just saying
I love the vocals😍😍😍
They were fantastic- great brass section too.
Very well produced fellas.
