Can't wait to learn this dance finally, when all this is over. Am a 60's baby, did regular free style dancing to this beloved song. Grooved to it MANY years & still to this day, just listening. Played it (the 45 &/or the 78 1/33 RPM) over & over on my lil record player growing up. Oh, the memories, right ? Just never learned to "do the hustle" 😁. Cannot wait ! Continue Van McCoy, to rest at peace. Miss him, gone too soon back when 😇🎵🎺🎼📻💜
The 1970's, best decade of my life. This song played at all the dance clubs, it was great. Sometimes we'd do the Hustle as a group and there'd be like 20 of us on the dance all dancing in sync. Best time ever, complete strangers all dancing together. Doesn't get much better than that.
@@aydentorres7644 What did u say little shit I'll have u know I graduated top of my class in the navy seal and I have 438 confirmed kills and I have worked in many classified missions and I have 600 army recrots that will do what ever I say
Sadly I was 4 when the hustle exploded. And because I was 4, I was legally not allowed go to any discotheques to dance the hustle at places like Studio 54, or The Galaxie discotheque somewhere away from Chicago, or Faces in the heart of Chicago's Rush Street. Could not dance anywhere in those places. And then disco was blown up in 1979 and I was unable to dance the hustle until roughly 1995 when I did take up a basic hustle class at Urbana-Champaign with the great Paul Jones, and once I learned the few cool moves as the Turning Basic, Pull Basic, Coaster, Alternating Underarm Turns, and Cross-Body Leads - I was 25 years old at that time - I fell in love with a dance that I was unable to go dance to at the clubs at 4 years young - the hustle! I still love the hustle today! Every time I "hustle" I feel like I am Karen Lynn Gorney, even though I am not a lady.....
I never understood why people hated Disco Music, it was just happy music that made you want to dance. Great fun back then at the dance clubs. Thanks for posting, JN
75, you were privileged to be from the Happy Days I would almost have sold my soul to have been in when I was a teen. I'm 60 and hated those disco times. I liked some of the songs, but my heart was with the 1950's up to mid-1960's. Malt shops, sock hops, cruising the block, Beach Boys music, Beatles invasion looked a whole lot more fun than stuffy old discos. I guess it wasn't disco, but Grand Funk Railroad redoing Little Eva's "Loco Motion" would drive me to tears I despised the disco and screwed up rock music days coming in my lousy life. Now I love both versions! But I'd still want nothing to do with going back to those days and the strong longing I had to be back in the Happy Days I was Born Too Late for.
phillip krikorian I’m 19 and I’m so sad that malt shops don’t exist today. I’ve seen movies like the Music Man, Back to the Future, and Grease where they go to ice cream shops or diners down the street. I’m in a swing dance club at my university because I love the music back then and the clothes back then. Hearing these stories from you guys is cool cause my grandparents never told me these kinds of stories :)
I would personally like to thank everyone over the age of 30 for giving us the best music created, I am only 16 years old but I prefer older music so thank you for giving us eternal and forever lasting music such as this.
"Best music created" ever heard of Jon Bellion? Kyle Cogrithe? Marvin Divine? No? Or are you just stuck on "this generation sucks" just because of what you see on the top of the surface? Don't be scraping the top of a bowl. There's always amazing stuff below it.
Sums up the 70s for me! I picture all my family and friends dancing with me when I hear it. A fabulous tune from a fabulous era. Thank you for uploading. ❤
lol I can hardly imagine I was born in the late 90's, my mother, grandmother and grandfather loves this music, doing the hustle they will never show how they did it back in the day XD
I love the fact this song has very few words. I guess as long as you have the rhythms and melodies working so well, words really don't have to be a priority.
I miss my dad!🕺🏻💃🏻! He always played those dance music and dancing with my mom n their friends in the living room.. I was only 6 years old that moment.. My dad is 90 years old now and living in Hong Kong.. the best golden years in Hong Kong in the 70’s & 80’s! 🇬🇧🇭🇰! The most happiest memories with my parents!!
I was 18, dancing in clubs in NY/NJ, meeting great people, doing really good pharms....such a great time! I cry when I think of all those who have passed since, but man we had fun. those
I look at this and where we are musically in black culture now and I don't know how we have totally fallen so far. We have sold ourselves out for the almighty dollar to produce poor quality of music
Amen. All you gotta do is look at videos like 'anaconda' by Nicki Minaj. It is utterly embarrassing and disgusting. All they care about now is how much 'green' they can make. SMH
I was just sending my grandson all the Old R and B music to listen to on his way home from work tomorrow I do it every Friday for him! Awesome Grammy winners in 70’s the best music ever!
When this came out my girlfriend loved it ........I cant dance for shit but she taught me to do the hustle.a magical time in the 70's I danced with her made my day .........Do the Hustle .......Thanks Emily.............a wonderful time in the hood .............
@@sdovas It was so sad, it SHOCKED the world. He was so young and gifted and we will not let the world forget Van McCoy and "The Hustle." In fact, the University of Maryland Global Campus is using the song as part of an Ad campaign at this time.
+Jeffy Samuel You're missing a trick there pal; nostalgia isn't crap, not by a long chalk. Nosatlgia plants seeds, you gotta keep growin' 'over there, past the trees.....'....
Makes me sad I wasn't born till 1999. Imagining that my dad was around then...lucky dude. He always talks about all the great music and I agree. He passed his love for this music down to me, and now it's all I listen to. Forget the music nowadays. It can't even compare.
@@deafleppard1812 ok, it's not the right moment bro, he's got a point though music nowadays are just lazy if you know that they were all created by one song writer youll be shock
Yeah but this person is old lol, I’m still in middle school, I actually enjoy music from the 50’s to today my favorite has to be the 80’s with its electronic pop and the no auto tune is good too
The thing people don't realize is that there was as much garbage music back then as there is now. You really only ever hear the same few hundred hits from a past era, but there were tens of thousands of songs on the radio then. And now we have a lot of trash, with the occasional gem, and when we look back we'll only remember the gems and none of the rest of the garbage. It's also pretty unfair to dismiss a whole generation of musicians as being trash just because there's a lot of bad music on the radio; there are a ton of musicians that are great and talented, you just gotta look for them.
Mind blowing ...... listening after almost 4 decades....I was in my teens when I heard this.......and this instrumental sent me in memories lane of that golden yester years.....thanks
I was in the 6th grade when this came out. During our last period of every day we all had to push back our desks and line up to do the hustle so that we got to work out a little bit of energy before being dismissed for the day...it was a great time!
Ok no worries, keep that energy, it's good to know you being 50 years older than me you're still moving, I'm glad to know there's people still having fun without letting their age to stop them :^).
I haven't heard this since I was a teenager in the 70's and it still makes the hairs on my back stand on end. What a privilege it was growing up in the 60's and 70's and being spoiled with such fantastic music. I'd go back in a heartbeat and leave this modern world behind - Anyone else feel this way?
Lotus Alstom ...Me Too... these Poor kids today won't, experience the times we had. I would love to transport back to the 70's for my last years. I don't care for today's world ..at all... We had such a wonderful time. ...no cell phones , no computers & all the crap that goes with computers. Life was good...
@@elaineshelton5825 - Totally agree! I don't know whether it was as much fun for adults back then, but growing up was a lot of fun.. If someone invents transportation before I peg it, I'll wait for you on my Chopper behind the bike shed (or should that be with my Chopper)?
I remember 1983 watching mom and dad put this on that huge phonograph console. You know the great big wooden one. While my sister and myself watched as mom and dad rocked out the highlands neighborhood in Louisville Ky. Wow the memories.
Greetings family, thank you for sharing that wonderful memory ! My Momma still has her big wooden console. With the radio on one side, record player on the other. and.......8 track tape deck in the center, with storage space for records and tapes ! 76, 12yrs old and oblivious to the world. Thanks for the memories. Love this song. It's Big, Brassy, and Lush ! It got in my soul and never left. Be well, JB
Yes! that big analog console which made the hair on the back of your neck stick up when you heard your favourite tune. That feel is lost with digital music.
The year was 1975...I was 18 years old...I danced all I could...I loved all I could...Drank far more than I should...Would I do it again...In a heartbeat...If I could...
I've seen this video soooo many times and I can still see it a million more times. People seem HAPPY and with beautiful smiles and just dancing. I LOVE IT!!!! I wish we still lived in happy times.
I got a flashback hearing this one again, I was 13 years old in 1975 , it was a hot summer in the U.K that year, I had just received a brand spanking new 10 speed racing bike from my parents which made this song even better , oh the happy memories of a nice childhood !
Being born in 1984, I have always been fond of the 70s era. I would do anything to live in the height of disco, go out on a Saturday in the freshest clothes with a pair of girls on my arm and we just dance the night away. I would love to do it. Maybe watching "Saturday Night Fever" made me feel like this but "the Hustle" is what the disco era was all about. I am/have always being jealous of people born in this era. It was an amazing time. It would have been more amazing to have lived through it!
I am always amazed at people your age who pine for the period when I was young...and how I really miss it all. I just wonder what happened to the energy, the creativity and the fun of a much better time in history. This is why I watch this video often.
I know how you feel, brother! You are so lucky to be born in that time period. I miss the 80's and 90's but I can't imagine how awesome it was the be born during the 70's. Things have changed a lot and it makes me cry sometimes.
Man, I was born in 1952...was 12 years old when the Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan and within a year, Motown was just kickin our butts! The Four Tops were my absolute favorite...Motown really changed the state of things along with the British invasion...what a wonderful time it was to be alive! Man, I so miss it as I was in bands from 64-70 and daily I recall what a great time those years were.I'd give anything to live it all over.
Phoenix, I am here to tell you that it was so awesome. I was a bartender in the late 70s and early 80s at several clubs and discos. The music, attitude, attire and energy were sky high. More fun than anything I have ever experienced. And the women loved to get on that floor and show it off!!!!!!
Cada vez que lo escucho y veo el vídeo me contagia y me invita a bailar también,este gigante canción Instrumentada Titulado "EL APURADO"en Castellano,sigo soñando como en mis tiempos de Colegio,recordando perfectamente a mis compañeros de estudio y profesores de clase del Colegio Santa Maria Reina de Chimbote-PERÚ.¡Que dulce esos días de mi vida que nunca olvidare y a toda mi Humilde Familia conformada por mis Amado Padres don JOSE FAUSTO MENACHO ZAVALETA y doña MELCHORA MARIA QUEZADA DELGADO de MENACHO,entonces viva VAN ALLEN CLINTO McCOY, o Simplemente VAN McCoy,aunque muerto esta,vive en esta su composición lindisima.JSMQ.
Got this song in my head tonight, decided to listen to it here, so glad I did - got me up dancing, smiling and in a great mood now. Can't beat good dancing music.
I have been singing at a different nursing home once a week every month and wanted to make this month disco month. This song is definitely a winner as the seniors love to dance!
I think this was one of the Songs that started Disco... I remember it vividly as I was about 12 or maybe 14. Still a Fabulous Tune. Those days are gone forever which is so sad.❤️
Good GODD the beginning just gives me the chills. love the beginning oooooooooooo JOINT lol. i should of been alive during the 70's like my 20's during that time oh man. They don't make music like this no more :(((
It was the Time and Place, honestly. Disco swept the nation in a dance craze, the likes of which really hadn't been seen since the Roaring 20s (notwithstanding the Big Bands of the 40s and the Rock n Roll of the 50s and 60s). Going out dancing was big in a way which seems inconceivable now. Some times I remember how it was (going out FIVE nights a week then, there was a hot spot for every night of the week) and ask myself "did it really happen that way?" But I know it did, I lived it.
This marvelous song drove me wild when I was 16 years old (and later)! I recall several unforgettable nights at ZIG ZAG or SOTON (two fabulous Rio de Janeiro discos of the era) nobody could stop me from reaching the dancing floor. Wonderful memories...
70s disco era has to be the greatest period to be a late teen early 20 something. great music,great clubs,beautiful women and for the ladies men that could throw a few shapes,cheap booze,barry white,bee gees,saturday night fever....i could go on.
Hey, strawberryeason: I just had to chime in here. You are 100% correct! It is good to see someone who actually "lived it" and was there, to tell about it in 2017. I am 52. So I was 14 in 1979 as an impressionable teenager, coming alive. Yes, I couldn't go to nightclubs. But I was "obsessed" with the music on the radio, every day. And I was really jealous (in a nice way) of all you 22 year olds, who would get ready to hit the nightclubs at 9pm with your great "Saturday Night Fever" 3 piece suits! By the way, I could do the night fever moves (to perfection) at 14 at home in the living room. I can still do it to this day. Haha! But the music was so full of love and joy. Every disco song was happy. Even the "slow songs" were happy. Case in point? "Reunited" by Peaches & Herb. Total classic! They also had that up-tempo hit called "shake your groove thing". Remember that one? Great memories. I am so happy that I was a teenager in 1979 and not 2017. I can't even imagine being influenced by rap/hip-hop with people rapping about "bitches/hos/niggas". Ouch! No way! In closing, a big thank you to YOU, and also the late Van McCoy (RIP), and all the other disco artists from the 70s (both living, and those that have passed away), for bringing me so much love and joy in my youth, and shaping my consciousness as a kid, to live and strive for a better tomorrow. Much appreciated. Wishing you a happy new year in 2018! Cheers, Sam.
Thanks for your comment, Sam! I was 19 in 1979, but at that time, the drinking age in the US in most states was 18, so we could get into clubs. I was going to clubs since 1978. (not to drink, to dance!) Such a great time to be young. People were not overweight then as much either. The digital amplification of today makes the music so invasive that it's unpleasant. We felt lovingly surrounded by music then in the clubs, but now it's like a sonic bass assault that invades you. Not pleasant.
Todo un clásico, será una de las grandes temas que nunca morirán por su estilo que traspasó generaciones, saludos desde LIMA PERÚ, país donde se vivió la fiebre por esta hermosa música.

They just had a different taste in music
It was the people who couldn't dance. The guys who could dance got plenty play from the ladies. The guys who couldn't........
the most beautiful musical period
whenever I'm down, i turn to 70s music. this is one of those songs that bring a smile to my face :D
Exactly! Who can't not want to dance when they hear this?
Exactly why I’m here! :) Soo cheesy happy, and it always works! Thank heavens for my 70’s playlist

Still sounds as fresh today as it did forty years ago.
Still after all these years, this song is a pop classic. May Van McCoy RIP. He gave us a sheer masterpiece.
What an electric time in music and in pop culture! Love the 70s!
Call it disco, R & B, dance music, whatever. This is the greatest song of its kind, ever.
Makes me sad I wasn't born till 1999. Imagining that my dad was around then...lucky dude. He always talks about all the great music and I agree. He passed his love for this music down to me, and now it's all I listen to. Forget the music nowadays. It can't even compare.
Haley Petersen ok boomer
@@deafleppard1812 ok, it's not the right moment bro, he's got a point though music nowadays are just lazy if you know that they were all created by one song writer youll be shock
Yeah but this person is old lol, I’m still in middle school, I actually enjoy music from the 50’s to today my favorite has to be the 80’s with its electronic pop and the no auto tune is good too
The thing people don't realize is that there was as much garbage music back then as there is now. You really only ever hear the same few hundred hits from a past era, but there were tens of thousands of songs on the radio then. And now we have a lot of trash, with the occasional gem, and when we look back we'll only remember the gems and none of the rest of the garbage. It's also pretty unfair to dismiss a whole generation of musicians as being trash just because there's a lot of bad music on the radio; there are a ton of musicians that are great and talented, you just gotta look for them.
Square Boi same
Mind blowing ...... listening after almost 4 decades....I was in my teens when I heard this.......and this instrumental sent me in memories lane of that golden yester years.....thanks
It's the year 2024. I'm 72 years old! Talk about time travel! This song took me back to a time with very fond memories!
♥️💃♥️💃♥️💃♥️💃
Thank you!💙🎶💜🎶

oh boo hoo.
One of the greatest tunes of the 70's,
Long hot summer of 76 when things seamed calmer slower then now
"SOUL!FUNK! & JAZZ!MUSIC! IS "THE" GREATEST! MUSIC! MADE! I! KNOW! I "MADE" THIS! (THE! JAZZ!MAN)! *MIKE SPENCE!
One of the greatest tunes, period.
🙏❤
John Stevenson I agree, it goes very well with Loves Unlimited Love Theme... excellent instrumentals 😊
This is seriously the happiest video I've ever seen.
Con este vídeo me dan ganas de interpretar la danza nativa de mi etnia.
Yesss
I was in the 6th grade when this came out. During our last period of every day we all had to push back our desks and line up to do the hustle so that we got to work out a little bit of energy before being dismissed for the day...it was a great time!
the dream :,)
Don't laugh , I'm 66 and every time I hear this song I want to get up and dance ! Still not a bad dancer ! LOL
Ok no worries, keep that energy, it's good to know you being 50 years older than me you're still moving, I'm glad to know there's people still having fun without letting their age to stop them :^).
No probs man let your inner hustle shine LOL
Like the song say's do it!!
Good dany
Keep dancing, and have a fantastic day!
I haven't heard this since I was a teenager in the 70's and it still makes the hairs on my back stand on end.
What a privilege it was growing up in the 60's and 70's and being spoiled with such fantastic music. I'd go back in a heartbeat and leave this modern world behind - Anyone else feel this way?
Lotus Alstom ...Me Too... these Poor kids today won't, experience the times we had. I would love to transport back to the 70's for my last years. I don't care for today's world ..at all... We had such a wonderful time. ...no cell phones , no computers & all the crap that goes with computers. Life was good...
@@elaineshelton5825 - Totally agree! I don't know whether it was as much fun for adults back then, but growing up was a lot of fun..
If someone invents transportation before I peg it, I'll wait for you on my Chopper behind the bike shed (or should that be with my Chopper)?
Yes
I remember 1983 watching mom and dad put this on that huge phonograph console. You know the great big wooden one. While my sister and myself watched as mom and dad rocked out the highlands neighborhood in Louisville Ky. Wow the memories.
Greetings family, thank you for sharing that wonderful memory ! My Momma still has her big wooden console. With the radio on one side, record player on the other. and.......8 track tape deck in the center, with storage space for records and tapes ! 76, 12yrs old and oblivious to the world. Thanks for the memories. Love this song. It's Big, Brassy, and Lush ! It got in my soul and never left. Be well, JB
Yes! that big analog console which made the hair on the back of your neck stick up when you heard your favourite tune. That feel is lost with digital music.
The year was 1975...I was 18 years old...I danced all I could...I loved all I could...Drank far more than I should...Would I do it again...In a heartbeat...If I could...
You and me both my friend, you and me both 😊
When the Disco era died, I was actually bummed! It was a great time!
Bob Silver how much fun was the disco era
Me, too.
Totally agree souly
Im 15. I grew up with Disco thanks to my dad. and Actually Disco isn't quite dead. Electronic dance is actually another form of Disco
Well, Disco is already dead but at least there are some other genres related to Disco such as Nu Disco, Electronic, House, etc.
Disco girls were so much more cleaner, sophisticated and attractive than girls of today.
No tats. No punctures. Just ladies! A wonderful time.
Best American Disco Record Ever! Great video!
I've seen this video soooo many times and I can still see it a million more times. People seem HAPPY and with beautiful smiles and just dancing. I LOVE IT!!!! I wish we still lived in happy times.
Why cant we have such fun songs like this in today times . The Old times seem soo great.
Please checkout my DISCO music list.
iphones are taking us down
Aqua Marina "today times" i love that
I could cry good memory
Looking at this old footage, it makes me wonder if humans have lost the art of just having a good time...
and looking at it these days looks like they used movie maker
yep, with out a doubt
+brent ruble when we were dancing,we were not fighting each other
We have.
you gotta remember everyone was high off their minds
Love this song!
I'm 66 years old and I used to dance this song every Thursday, Friday and Saturday back in the 70s at Circus in Hollywood
If you've ever had the pleasure of working in a disco in NYC...THIS is what I came to work everyday...Give me back those days...
Ernie Peru
I wish I could man. I wish I could.
Still a great song to this day, especially if your a dancer!
Claro que si estoy muy de acuerdo. Hasta pronto
I wish I could relive the 70's Brilliant Music
close your eyes too another place and time
I'd relive the 70's over and over again for all eternity and no regrets! The 70's included all my teenage years, a bit before and a bit after.
Julie Crellin m
me to
Julie Crellin me to 12 when this can out
I miss the 70's, we never knew how good we had it before cell phones and video surveillance.
THAT WAS REAL MUSIC BACK THEN LOVE THE 70'S 😁.
Robert Acosta Yep. After the 60’s & 70’s, I pretty much lost interest.
I would disagree
IM 2 DAYS OLD AND I LOVE THIS MUSIC.
HA! HA! Good one :)
I got a flashback hearing this one again, I was 13 years old in 1975 , it was a hot summer in the U.K that year, I had just received a brand spanking new 10 speed racing bike from my parents which made this song even better , oh the happy memories of a nice childhood !
MusicLover What a nice memory!
Une des musiques les plus positives,insouciantes et cool que j ai écouté !
Cela donne la banane et le sourire des le matin😃...
Ça fait du bien...!
Disco still rules... watch out for the all-time DJ TOP 700 Disco Songs.....
Being born in 1984, I have always been fond of the 70s era. I would do anything to live in the height of disco, go out on a Saturday in the freshest clothes with a pair of girls on my arm and we just dance the night away. I would love to do it. Maybe watching "Saturday Night Fever" made me feel like this but "the Hustle" is what the disco era was all about. I am/have always being jealous of people born in this era. It was an amazing time. It would have been more amazing to have lived through it!
I am always amazed at people your age who pine for the period when I was young...and how I really miss it all. I just wonder what happened to the energy, the creativity and the fun of a much better time in history. This is why I watch this video often.
I know how you feel, brother! You are so lucky to be born in that time period. I miss the 80's and 90's but I can't imagine how awesome it was the be born during the 70's. Things have changed a lot and it makes me cry sometimes.
Man, I was born in 1952...was 12 years old when the Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan and within a year, Motown was just kickin our butts! The Four Tops were my absolute favorite...Motown really changed the state of things along with the British invasion...what a wonderful time it was to be alive! Man, I so miss it as I was in bands from 64-70 and daily I recall what a great time those years were.I'd give anything to live it all over.
Phoenix, I am here to tell you that it was so awesome. I was a bartender in the late 70s and early 80s at several clubs and discos. The music, attitude, attire and energy were sky high. More fun than anything I have ever experienced. And the women loved to get on that floor and show it off!!!!!!
If I could make a time machine, damn!!! Lucky son of a guns lol.
I Love The Flute , Trumpets , Drums , Guitar And The Beats In The Background Of That Song Too
So so sad that they don’t make music like this anymore, I truly believe it brings people together.
Well all people have to do is pull out a boom box and play it.
@@sl4983 🤣 Boombox??? In 2023 it's on their phones.
Cada vez que lo escucho y veo el vídeo me contagia y me invita a bailar también,este gigante canción Instrumentada Titulado "EL APURADO"en Castellano,sigo soñando como en mis tiempos de Colegio,recordando perfectamente a mis compañeros de estudio y profesores de clase del Colegio Santa Maria Reina de Chimbote-PERÚ.¡Que dulce esos días de mi vida que nunca olvidare y a toda mi Humilde Familia conformada por mis Amado Padres don JOSE FAUSTO MENACHO ZAVALETA y doña MELCHORA MARIA QUEZADA DELGADO de MENACHO,entonces viva VAN ALLEN CLINTO McCOY, o Simplemente VAN McCoy,aunque muerto esta,vive en esta su composición lindisima.JSMQ.
Impossible not to dance to this song. Such a good vibe!
That's the thing about it, You HAVE you dance! 🎶
Left us 40 years ago today - at the ridiculously young age of 39. Thankfully the wonderful music he produced lives on.
Travellin by train in August 1975 from Lima to San Bartolome on the Sunday train. I wish I could go back to those good ols days.
Happy music makes me happy, and I'm very happy right now :)
I don't care want anybody said disco was the only music that made anyone feel like a star
I learned the hustle, right after I learned to walk....
If one can do the Hustle, why bother walking? ;) "DO IT!"
Got this song in my head tonight, decided to listen to it here, so glad I did - got me up dancing, smiling and in a great mood now. Can't beat good dancing music.
Van McCoy was another in a line of great musicians from Washington, D.C.-Duke Ellington, John Fahey, Marvin Gaye, Peaches and Herb, many others.
I have been singing at a different nursing home once a week every month and wanted to make this month disco month. This song is definitely a winner as the seniors love to dance!
I think of our school dances in the cafeteria.
I think this was one of the Songs that started Disco... I remember it vividly as I was about 12 or maybe 14. Still a Fabulous Tune. Those days are gone forever which is so sad.❤️
Its 1 June 2024, and I'm still love jamming to this song. Always make me do the hustle.
Good GODD the beginning just gives me the chills. love the beginning oooooooooooo JOINT lol. i should of been alive during the 70's like my 20's during that time oh man. They don't make music like this no more :(((
You took the words out my mouth, the beginning is absolutely fantastic !!
It was the Time and Place, honestly. Disco swept the nation in a dance craze, the likes of which really hadn't been seen since the Roaring 20s (notwithstanding the Big Bands of the 40s and the Rock n Roll of the 50s and 60s). Going out dancing was big in a way which seems inconceivable now. Some times I remember how it was (going out FIVE nights a week then, there was a hot spot for every night of the week) and ask myself "did it really happen that way?" But I know it did, I lived it.
***** That's amazing. We'll never see times like that again. You were lucky.
I miss the 70s people seemed so much more happier..and the super fun great music...
My mom loves this record. I do too. The soul of the 70's was simply magic.
Nunca te olvides de eso. Te felicito.
This marvelous song drove me wild when I was 16 years old (and later)! I recall several unforgettable nights at ZIG ZAG or SOTON (two fabulous Rio de Janeiro discos of the era) nobody could stop me from reaching the dancing floor. Wonderful memories...
When it’s 2am and you can’t sleep
Same 😁😏
@@aleksandrastefanska331 Same it's 2am in Central U.S
Can't sleep too
you've exposed me
Listening to this song at 2am ...
70s disco era has to be the greatest period to be a late teen early 20 something. great music,great clubs,beautiful women and for the ladies men that could throw a few shapes,cheap booze,barry white,bee gees,saturday night fever....i could go on.
Please checkout my DISCO music list.
yes and women would date nice men !and wanted to be treated well !
It WAS the best time to be a young person, for sure. I was there.
Hey, strawberryeason: I just had to chime in here. You are 100% correct! It is good to see someone who actually "lived it" and was there, to tell about it in 2017. I am 52. So I was 14 in 1979 as an impressionable teenager, coming alive. Yes, I couldn't go to nightclubs. But I was "obsessed" with the music on the radio, every day. And I was really jealous (in a nice way) of all you 22 year olds, who would get ready to hit the nightclubs at 9pm with your great "Saturday Night Fever" 3 piece suits! By the way, I could do the night fever moves (to perfection) at 14 at home in the living room. I can still do it to this day. Haha!
But the music was so full of love and joy. Every disco song was happy. Even the "slow songs" were happy. Case in point? "Reunited" by Peaches & Herb. Total classic! They also had that up-tempo hit called "shake your groove thing". Remember that one? Great memories.
I am so happy that I was a teenager in 1979 and not 2017. I can't even imagine being influenced by rap/hip-hop with people rapping about "bitches/hos/niggas". Ouch! No way!
In closing, a big thank you to YOU, and also the late Van McCoy (RIP), and all the other disco artists from the 70s (both living, and those that have passed away), for bringing me so much love and joy in my youth, and shaping my consciousness as a kid, to live and strive for a better tomorrow. Much appreciated.
Wishing you a happy new year in 2018!
Cheers, Sam.
Thanks for your comment, Sam! I was 19 in 1979, but at that time, the drinking age in the US in most states was 18, so we could get into clubs. I was going to clubs since 1978. (not to drink, to dance!) Such a great time to be young. People were not overweight then as much either. The digital amplification of today makes the music so invasive that it's unpleasant. We felt lovingly surrounded by music then in the clubs, but now it's like a sonic bass assault that invades you. Not pleasant.
daar stond ik dan in die tijd! toen waren ze nog niet geboren! mooiste tijd om verder te evalueren! Naar 2020 ! blijf ook deze music trouw!
This marked the beginning of the Disco Era - the finest few years of music in the history of mankind.
Actually, "Rock The Boat" by the Hues Corporation kicked off the disco era.
Right On, Drew
@Ralph Richter Snore! Yawn!
We lived through it as teenagers. Some of it was ok. I preferred the new wave in the 80's.
Many people won't agree with you but i do !
I love to do the Hustle, I love this era of music.
Todo un clásico, será una de las grandes temas que nunca morirán por su estilo que traspasó generaciones, saludos desde LIMA PERÚ, país donde se vivió la fiebre por esta hermosa música.
Hoy 2019 es la preferida de mi hijo que tiene 8 años
I love the dancing! I am sure this song was huge back in the 70’s. Great song.
you can't touch this intro. simply awesome!!!
