Alicia Bridges - I Love The Nightlife (1978)

- Опубліковано 13 лис 2009
- Disco diva Alicia Bridges scored big in 1978 with her chart-topping hit "I Love the Nightlife." It was her biggest moment in music, making her self-titled debut a definite part of the feel-good disco scene of the late '70s. The blues-tinged "Diamond in the Rough" and "Broken Woman" were mildly successful, but Bridges never regained her disco reign. Two more albums followed -- 1979's Play It as It Lays and 1984's Hocus Pocus -- but those failed to gain recognition despite some disco threads transitioning into the new wave scene of the early '80s. Bridges wasn't entirely forgotten. Nearly 20 years later, electronic dance gurus "Little" Louie Vega and Kenny "Dope" Gonzalez of the house act Masters at Work revamped "I Love the Nightlife for the campy flick The Last Days of Disco. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
Jesus, if the audience gets anymore livelier, a funeral might break out.
You win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best comment in UA-cam history!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I agree brilliant comment!
Hahahahahah
But at least back then they didn't shoot at funerals
😂😂😂😂
This is killing me. I want to go back to the 1970s. I maybe 63 years old, but I can still boogie.
Me too. Same age. And I certainly wouldn't just sit there while she performs.
I can't stand it when an audience just sits still when they should be into the music!!! I even had a person sitting still next to me @ a show complaining about the vibration caused by my feet hitting the (carpeted) floor to the music! I am told that people want to watch the performance and not be distracted by dancing or moving to the beat. Whatever!! I would have been out of my seat jamming to Alicia!! 😸
I keep telling my kids...our generation was the coolest.
I still got it too, soon to be 62 in December '21.
i hear you!!
It's 2024 and this still rocks! ❤😂🎉
Nicholas Cage has this in his new movie🤣
Shure 💃🕺
Yes
It does!! I had this on a K-Tel record when I was 8 or 9. Loved it!
Woww!! I totally remember Kugel records!!! We had lost in our many moves🤒
Im 55 and remember this song on the radio.” Always thought she was black”😂👍❤️
Me too!
Omg me too!!@
I'm 55 as well, I remember she was white ,but I couldn't remember her name. I loved this song
Yes me too!
I still think she is.
Damn. That audience needs more Ack-shown!
keep in mind they were probably just watching her lip sync for the 10th take or something.
@@therealxunil2 Alicia miming is too much Ack-shon for those limp dicks.
@Rev Helper I agree that the 70s were far more polite than now - I remember them well as Maurice Chevalier used to say!
Jonathan Washington , you ain’t wrong!
They're Germans what did you expect?
Hello future person, yes we are still listening to this song in *[insert date here]* . You have great taste in music too, legend. Have a lovely day!
Along with some Nile Rogers sound, definitely what we need to send into space
pop up video
Hahaha forever greatful God I love you friends Come anytime Night life hahaha ..

Hi there! May 04, 2024😊
i remember listen to this over and over at the age of 5 sitting in my mom lap. One of her favorite songs R.I.P (mom) I miss you so much
Awww nice memory, so sorry for your loss. Your mom is still there and you will hold each other again ❤
How can the audience just sit there. This song is bangers man
German audiences are "well behaved".
Parang mga poste lang sila. 😂
@@elmoranas / ?. . . ?? . . . or Phillipino's 😵💫
DOG GONE RIGHT!! You have to be deader than dead not to Groove to this classic😊!!
She was lip-syncing, so... not all that exciting
That audience is outta control!!!
LOL!! Yeah, I mean, where was Security? Alicia could've easily been killed!
+Marshal Tenner Winter I'm just glad the studio was properly insured and nobody was seriously injured.
I mean, come ON. A little enthusiasm is fine but no need to make a spectacle out of yourself.
Absolute lunatics
Marshal Tenner Winter they can’t contain themselves
I love how the audience are sitting there uninterested and Alicia doesn't give two hoots, she's going for it anyway!❤️
Luudes man, luudes. It was the 70s after all
Most live TV shows have always had cue cards for audiences as well as pre recorded performances.
The audience is mesmerized
@Lesley Debelloy p
They're German 😒
I'm 61 and there's been no other theme for me. I just want to dance the night away. I've been married to my wife for 31 years. Never stop being able to dance the night away!!
Summer of "78"💓
How I wish I could go back, even for a few days!😥
You and I both
listen to China Crisis- Some People I Know to Lead Fantastic Lives-Extended version 1983
It'll soon come back into "vogue".
What a fabulous look she has. Sort of Bowie meets the Marquis de Sade.
Damn my generation was a hell of a lot better than my kids! Disco big hair fancy dresses lit up dance floor and some of the best damn music of any era! Hell yea exciting time to be young and grow up in! Cant help but pop some moves when I hear all that great music!
Totally agree
Me trae mucha nostalgia este temaso yo todavia cursaba el 4 primaria en 1978😢❤
The only thing that goes out at night on a boomer is their hip....Justin Bieber.
The best days of my life was in the 70s and I didn’t even know it until it was gone!!❤❤
I feel you, 80's for me
That’s how it always is: we don’t realize how good things were until they change.
Knowing that, jump way ahead now, or your realization is mute-
At 60, I'm ready to be ahead of the game instead of living in what's gone, I just enjoy the old groove now then look for tomorrow ~~
Peace and adventure till we drop !!!!
@@SheriFromDetroit yeah 70sand 80s ❤️
@@crystalwtube you’re so right!❤️
I was 66 years old when this came out in 1978. It still is great music even when I am 115 years old now.
115? Are you sick in the head?
Hey, I'm 79 and can still boogie. Tapping my foot listening to this song. Love disco music!
Fantastic!! 😊
❤️ super great disco & r& b music
Brilliant number still listening here in the uk 🇬🇧 2024
Can't listen to this without picturing George Hamilton and Susan St. James dancing to it. Love at first Bite is a classic
Right!!!!! That was AWESOME!
😅
Yep. 😂
Me too
Yes!
This is why the 70s RULE
OMG, the audience is priceless...just sitting there while she's discoing her heart out...gotta love the 70's
I agree--they look comatose. I'm old enough to have been in college in the late seventies...fun, fun time.
Looks like she's singing in front of a bunch of statues.
I'd be up there, ripping up the floor boards!
LMAO
😂😂😂
I'm old enough to remember her music in the clubs. We were so blessed to have this kind of music then in the 70's especially the late 70's. Disco made the nightclubs come alive. What I wouldn't do to go back then in my early 20's and
enjoy it all over again.
How I wish they would play disco at the clubs again and make it a theme night.
I gotta say, I play the bass guitar, and damnit if Disco basslines ain’t some of the most goddamn funkiest pieces of finely crafted music ever!
Definitely!!! So many memories !
My dad and I restored the interior of an old barn on his property put in some light up floors a legit retro disco ball ect. His town has a population of about 1200 middle of no where he throws parties at his “love shack”. I didn’t really get to experience the era but I atleast got to recreate it for my high school parties lol
And don't forget that in 1978 it was legal in most states for 18 year olds to drink alcohol. We had a lot more fun than kids today, and we weren't as hung up or suffered from being so easily triggered like todays teenagers and twenty somethings.
I was born in 1980. I listen to 1970s music. I wish I was able to go live that Era
It's the beat music and looks the most fun for sure
It sure was a great time to be a teenager! Sensational!
This was her biggest and only hit! What a great song! Brings back very fond memories.
Oh man her voice, she had some lungs on her, always loved Alicia, RIP my Queen!!!☺
@@deborahneal161she's not dead lmfao. Unless the late great Wade Boggs. RIP Boss Hog.
It can't be her 'biggest' and 'only' hit, lol. It's either one or the other. It was her only hit.
@@michaeld2519 Okay Mr. Doctorate of ENglish--I bow down to your superior use of the langugage.... but I'm sure she had other pieces written that never went anywhere.
@@TomokoAbe_ Yes, bow down to your master, you ungrateful slave - before I throw you into the dungeon! Don't be so upset, lol. I am a published writer, so I notice such things. Fair enough though, my comment was unkind and unnecessary, and I apologise. Hope you have a good day. ☺
This woman is my hero with her golden ankle bootlets and that comatose crowd surrounding her at the MusikLaden. HERO I SAY!
I love it when she sings "I want some _'ak-shawn!'"_
Good times! This was so exciting on the radio late
at night in the 70s!
That cracks me up
That's why I'm here
When this 1st. played my girl and i would play this and we danced 200 times, well not 200 but a LOT !!!
@@RolandStone32 Me too.
I want to give it. I want some too
Great song. Ha. 20 years old here. Still discovering cool music. I grew up on 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s music. All the music nowadays has BS thrown into it and it isn’t fun or positive. Love this song!
Disco is still alive in me..... Baby of the 70's
Same.🎶🎵
God Bless 💗🙏
This song never gets old♡♡
But you do
It really doesn't. Here July 2020!
@@walle637 Oh, and YOU don't!?!
Never
@@mysticrivers01 Just gets better with age, like fine wine.
I remember way back in my 5th grade that this song would always play in my Dad's car whenever he would pick me up from school or bring me to school. I love my Dad so much and appreciate the influence he has upon me especially when it comes to my extensive, good taste in music. I'm 24 years old now, my Dad had a stroke last 2009 but at least the left side of his body still functions well. My dad cooks, loves to sing, and makes great conversation. I'm smiling as I'm writing this because everytime we listen to good music like this, we would always be happy. Life's beauty can really be seen through the simplest of things... I thank God everyday for these wonderful blessings and the awesome memories that we share..
Please send my love to your dad. He sounds like a dude xxx 😘😘💕💞
@@clairecarlia-jones5979 Yup, he sure is. Thanks for the compliment, Claire. 🤗My Dad and I appreciate it. Sending our love to you and your family as well. 🙏Btw, you have the same name as my sister--Claire (Dad's little princess) 😄
You, ve got a cool Dad! This song is an Golden Oldie.👌🏼I was 12 back then in 1978.I loved (and still do) this song! Bring back sweet memories. Me listening to the radio every Friday night at "the soulshow" here in Holland in my bedroom late at night 🎶📻. some songs just remined you of things that makes you feel 😊. Wish you and your Dad all the best for the future and many happy, lovely times together.💞🎶
That’s so sweet. Bless you ❤️
@@anjadane1149 Thank you! Wish the same for you and your family as well 🙏
Her voice gives me chills even after all these years.
She super rocks!!!!
Lip sync always kills it for me.
Maaan I miss the 70's! This is one of the songs that truly defy that era.
Your so right, this song just does it for me😂😂
She lived inside my tiny AM radio when I was a kid
Lol
Adorable.
good one :-)
Don't know why I had a sudden urge to hear this song. But these comments were worth the trip.
That song was one of the most play songs doing the disco area.
life before cell phones and computers was actually a lot more fun
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day.. Stay Safe
Holy shit Billy Idols mom can sing!
Damn! LOL!!!!
One of the funniest comments I have read THIS YEAR!! 🤣🤣
Fuckin hilarious dude
🤣🤣🤣
😂😹
She looks like Wendy O and Billy Idol’s love child 😂but sings like Gloria Gaynor...I love her!🥰 Such a mashup of styles...and this is an amazingly catchy tune. Legend!💗💐
Hello friend, how're you doing?
Actually Alicia Bridges is who Billy Idol actually was before he got his sex change and became a guy.
2023 & I still want ACTION!! I wanna live!! 💃🏽❤🕺🏾
those people in the audience had no idea they were watching history in the making!
I was a Heavy metal/Rock and roll guy. Whenever I was by myself I would blast this in my car. Never in front My buddies though. I bet they did the same, this song rocked.
Lol. You know damn well they did.😂🤣
IM Old 76 but OH yea Turn up the Volume Big Time !!!
Alice Cooper was a down low Bee Gees fan!

Criminally underrated
One of the greatest dance records ever made
"akshawn"
ua-cam.com/video/kijMCPmIIF0/v-deo.htmlsi=c6z7GcIFe9XmyMxf
Nic Cage would agree!!!!
I swear, that's the best audience i've ever seen.
I loved this song as a kid in the 70s😊❤.
A great disco hot hit. Made a splash in the movie Love at first bite with George Hamilton.
And it was perfect in that movie!
The first movie I ever saw with a boy. Lol.
@@kimberlyilgen8988 Yes Yes Yes - Thank U! Brilliant, everyone started swinging as in the 1920's to this song and had lots of vampire themes. :))))
Thanks
My mom had this song on an old 8-track. Love music from back in the day. Miss you mama. 1943 💔 2011
What a pretty and wonderful woman ,hello my darling ?
"I want some action". This song just popped in my head and I started singing. My mom played this all the time. Whoa, I'm getting old!!!
What a pretty and wonderful woman ,hello my darling ?
dancing to this at the BBC disco in Chicago, great memories
The audience must be on valium
Haaaaa!!
Quaaludes
They All Muppets
@@SpectraStarShooter yep, I was thinking ludes too, they are zonked out.
Nah, quaaludes. The drug of choice of the 70s.
I’m 24 years old and love all old music! And I just heard this Gem last night and I regret not finding this song sooner! This is the type of song that literally makes me walk around with a big smile on my face
Watch the movie Presilla Queen of the Desert.
Real early 80,s disco bomb music.another version try Scooter Lee,might enjoy.
Welcome youngster 😁
@@sharonreah8610 Or "Love At First Bite," which is where I first heard this sweet little gem of a song.
Dude I am gonna be 11 and my dad has these kind of songs for me playing in the car radio and I memorized them all 😂
WOW. Can’t believe this was released in 1978. I’ve been listening to this since I was a kid born in the mid 90’s
This song started the separation of old music and New music 🎉
This is one of the great songs of the disco era.
This is timeless, she doesn't need any backup singers she kills it the audience's weak they are in awe of what they're listening to and watching it's so obvious
It is one of the great songs of ANY era! Fantastic!
DAMN! WHEN i LISTEN TO THIS... IT FEELS SO MAGICAL..... I WANT TO DANCE UNDER THE MOON
😂😂😂😂😂
Actually I wouldn't have mind dancing under her. She was hot!!
Magic magic magic. Pure joy because she has an exact Venus/Mars conjunction in Leo! This is the energy of happiness in musical expression. Amazing
Y'all put down the cocaine and go take a nap
Please don't talk about love tonight.... Love it 🎶💜💗
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day.. Stay Safe
Here I am again, this song really made me dance. Even though I'm now 60,who cares. I dance round my house to this all the time ❤❤❤❤❤ loved your song girl. Love from the Republic of Ireland 😊❤❤❤
She just kills it, thats all.
it's like she's singing to a group of seniors from a retirement home
No they would have had more life in them
They're Germans.
At least seniors would be grooving in their wheelchairs- these people seem to be in a coma!
fuck Imma retired then maaan
No it’s like she’s singing to a bunch of Germans
When I was younger,, I loved the night life.... Good times.... wished I was there....
I'm here because of "Sympathy for the devil" scene with Nicolas Cage. :) Nice song. ✨
Rumor has it her next gig was a Siberian morgue.
*She got much more AXE SHONE outta the crowd!*
She has to carry the whole song on her shoulders and keep the audience enraptured just on her own talent. No special effects... just... fancy lights and her.
It's so goofy
lights are special effects.
The Chick was a Class Act Big Time !!!
My favorite disco song of 1978! 🩰
Love this program, watched it every week whilst stationed in Germany. Great memories
Man what a very unique singer she is! She has a very interesting way she sings and it is not easy the way she sings this!! Excellent!
"I love the nightlife"
Lockdown 2020 😕
I luv the shoulder ak shown
What a voice!!! I love this music.
Still skating to this song, in my mind... 😂
All these years i thought she’s a black woman with that soul voice.
I thought the same until I finally googled it tonight
Lol same also bee gees
I swear i did 😂😂
Thought it to be some brother of Al Green. Never expected a freak like that.
That's very racist, in a good way . I did too.
For God's sake, people, at least show that you're alive. This woman has talent, something that's sorely lacking with today's music.
Yes
Right the folks in the audience look bored!
They were in mourning knowing this era of music was coming to a close. It was said after this performance there was not a dry eye in the audience because they knew what they had lost.
This was performed in Germany. Not the most animated people...
We used to respect the singer and really listen to them. If you want crazy then watch Woodstock
Still kickin this in 2024!!!!
I love this song so much! Ehehe up until today. Never gets bored.
The sound of the 70s disco is unbeatable indeed.
Who is in charge of returning the audience to the morgue after the show?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Awesome!!Comment!!
And stop at the voting center first. 😏
I don’t think I have ever literally laughed out loud so hard over a comment. I love dry delivery comedy. I’m still cracking up 🤣
She needed soul train show audience on this song.
😂🤣
Haha this takes me right back to 8th grade, what a memory, fun times.
k hermosa época......y k linda canción......dame un like.....quien la sigue escuchando.....en 2022

What made this song so great was the Sax solo by Jay Carrington Scott from a little town called Dothan, Alabama. He was the most talented sax player of all time. He was a "studio musician" when this was recorded. He has gone on to play in the big band in Heaven, but would like to see him remembered. So many musicians never get recognized for their part of truly making a song memorable. Play on Jay!
Hard to believe she was just 25 here. I always thought this woman was in her 40s at the height of this song.
Same with me, I had to Google to find out her birthdate.
Yea me too she was a Very Pretty Lady !!
Best one hit wonder of the disco era
One of the "Greats"😆. 2019 anyone? ....👍
I here.
I work as a Chauffeur and i worked for her yesterday in Germany! No Joke and she is a very nice lady! Gruß aus München 👍
The ushers must have given free valium to that audience.
How could everyone just sit still this girl could blow ! This music moves your soul .
They must be East Germans
@@bmills1982 😂
Them some sad sack sum b!tches show enuff sitting there in that audience. They need a cattle prod attached to their a$s to get them moving.
There’s a language barrier. She’s singing (lip-syncing) on a TV show in Germany, so probably a lot of those people don’t even understand the lyrics.
Are you Nona Hendrix ?
2022 and this song can still make people dance and smile! I'm an 80s kid so I remember my mom listening to this from a movie she used to watch also. Today I needed to smile and feel something again and this song popped into my head and I felt alive again. That's amazing what music can do for you.
😮 80's. What's that?🎉
I'm an 80s kid too!! Raced Bmx all over the country in the 80s !! Parachute pants from chess King /Merry-go-round stores in the mall!! MTv!!! What a life!! Kids now days have nothing but drug overdoses and RAP Shit music! Transgenderism!! What a Shitty world it is now!!!😢
There were lots of clubs like that in S.J.,ca., there gone now😢
So true 💜
What a pretty and wonderful woman ,hello my darling ?
Beautiful woman, great voice and great song.
What an extraordinay and unique voice !
It's growing on me.
Yeah, nice and characterful.
Seriously? Here’s a hint. They did the same thing with Elvis the “king” of rock and rolling my eyes 🙄
What an extraordinay and unique voice !
I noice u didnt say good
*racist
One of the best disco songs ever
Oh yeah 😎that's what you call good rocking music 🎶🎵👌♥❤
It's 2023 and it is only today i put à name on the singer of this masterpiece. What memories and chills !
This was my absolutely favourite song when I was 13 back when it was released in 1978. I would literally drop whatever I was doing and run to the radio to listen to Alicia Bridges belt this out...
I loved this song also. I was 11. You got by a couple of years.
Truly excellent music transcends ages. I was twenty-five in 1978.
I was 12, and you're right, this was a kickass song!
This was so close to the 80s...
This makes me smile!😌🙂
1. Gilded Tie/Necklace - Check
2. Basketball Shorts - Check
3. Gold Heels - Check
4. Lifeless Audience - Check
5. Create a great song that people will continue listening to 40 years after it's created - Check
I want some "AK-SHON" after this. Great clip of the great '70s
WikeddTung OMG! The audience must be corpses!
Those aren't basketball shorts...they're hotpants!
Fab wasn't it!!
+Eddie Wilkinson eros
I can't stop watching this and I'm not complaining
A MAJOR landmark of Disco. Don't let anyone tell you any different. This monster hit ruled the airwaves. There are some really unusual stylings and notes in this song.
Si
The only disco song I like! I got into country around the time this was burning up the charts.
This is why Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin kept me from losing my sanity. Thank God I made it out of the disco era! I didn't like it then, and now I like it even worse.
@@mocharger06 Why are you telling me? I have broad tastes. Somehow I manage to like rock AND disco both!
Foto21. Great response from you! Keep it up!
That audience definitely doesn't love the nightlife. Or to boogie either!
***** Haha, so true.
They are DUDS...The Sitting Dead.
German t.v. studio 'concert' crowd. Notoriously lame.
Also she looks German so they are buggin out on her !
Keep in mind that those people are now in their 70s and 80s and may not remember the night life anymore.
who is watching this in 2019?
Yes. 10-8-19. 9:35 PM. Natchez Ms.. I love it
I am...She was amazing!!! my type of audience would have been all over the place. That song is fire 🔥
2019 watching
yep, having a beer or ten and listening to old music
Me. Alicia was openly gay before being gay was cool.
I've been singing and dancing to this song all day around my house.. my husband was laughing at me while watching me "boogie" in the kitchen, while finishing dinner! #bringbackthe70s #sept2022
BARRY WHITE said, some of the BEST music of ALL TIME. came out of that so call disco era. couldn't agree more with the maestro, Barry White.
"I Love the 1970's"
her voice hits the high notes, brilliant record
