[Lynx1o1]

I really don't understand why people will dislike this song. tut tut

[DrizaboneSoulFamily]

phenomenoll .. cant spell but u know what i mean

[gideonwaxfarb]

Found this track while searching for Boogie Nights movie clips. Insofar as disco goes, it don't get much better than this.

[Screen511]

One word, breathtaking.

[heathergee28]

WAIT I know what the melting record is reminding me of... the album art for Popcorn by Hot Butter... gorgeously haunting stuff o.o also does the background sound a lot like MJ's "Off the Wall" to anyone else? and the guy who says 'If you wanna boogie' sounds like the guy from Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie", or some other well known rapper. lol

[heathergee28]

Man this track takes you places! haha too awesome. I was also born wayy too late... I wasn't even around for 90s music sigh. thank god for Pandora (:

by the way - the album art is sort of scaring me a lot and I have no idea why, but I can't stop staring at it. like i've seen the style somewhere before. any ideas? or artist names?

[maygoodcometous1]

@heathergee28 Salvator Dali? He was big with painting things melting...

[georgeman2468]

11 people have heatstroke.

[mzcutebootzy1245]

everynite is a boogie night

[Baptism13]

Music is not the same anymore......

[Militarymight101]

@Baptism13 thats what happens when the music shifts from adults with experience to kids looking for a paycheck

[kpoz7]

Thank God for YOUTUBE. I haven't heard these songs in soooo long.  There should be a government legislature to remake the 80's music again. C'mon Obama! lol

[mojohelmet]

@kpoz7 THIS IS 70S MUSIC!

[pawsnout]

Love the haunting intro.

[troyboy7962]

from one of my favorite Heatwave albums

[darlntae]

Music from this era will never get old....[:-bd]

[fiddlercove]

whooo whooo whooo till you die!

[kb137281234]

The first time I heard the intro to this song, I thought WTH??????? Then the jam began! What a great song! Takes me back to high school. Great post!!!!!

[Jdennies13]

bringing back the past here this is great

[flymast1]

Also remember Rod Temperton is "biracial" also and not white.

[flymast1]

These were some bad dudes. Rod Temperton is a true "legend". Lot of you don't know but he wrote most of Michael Jackson's hits on his first two solo albums, "Rock with You", etc. and "Thriller".

[flymast1]

This is a truly "bad jam". Freshman year in college and on the "dancefloor" during the greatest era of American Music - "The Disco Age", WOW! what fun! and I survived, from one nightclub to the other. Man.

[SmokinFuckenKush]

[3fairrw]

[UltraDOG17]

i hate the commericals on youtube!!!

Damn Youtube & their b.s. for their commericals!

[barkingsteve]

@UltraDOG17

use mozilla firefox with the adblock plus add on ;)

[lanelsonconsulting]

Weird to me that the white dude on organ wrote most of their songs. Sometimes it's best to listen to without the visuals (haha). Either way, this stuff is timeless and beautiful to my ears and inner boogie child.

[baldbassman]

@lanelsonconsulting Weird to you the 'white dude on organ wrote most of their songs'? Why? The drummer (Bilbo Berger), the bass player (Mario Montez) and the keyboard player (Rod Temperton) were all white. They and the rest of the band were just immensely talented - and check out what Rod Temperton went on to do after Heatwave. Their colour doesn't come into it.

[unoiamacutie]

My dad listened to this on his radio all the time when I was little. Childhood memory music rocks.

[genxxxersize]

Kewl tune!

[mlindroth1]

seems like this started it going.....got to keep on dancin!

[atila65sch]

[213crimes]

[LiamOlivera]

I admit it, I found out about this song on Eyetoy for the Playstation 2 :)

[peanutwarriorz]

@LiamOlivera Haha! So did i :)

[jn2006]

Rod temperton a true genius

[nachoandcheese1]

To be honest, this isnt a bad song.

And this is coming from a Led Zep Fan.

[Jimed756]

During disco's heyday I was deep into Southern rock (38 Special, Marshall Tucker, etc) and I couldn't stand disco. I hated it. HATED it. But every now and then I heard a song that really made me move. This is one of them. I've always loved this piece. Thanks for posting it.

[hotstuffandicecream]

At the 34 second mark you should have been out in the middle of the floor moving something!

[VolumeJr]

Boogie Nights are always the best in town!!

[John22133]

@ladablah2 Well, Ladyblah, it shows that you have great taste in music, trust me.

[Tonjevic]

@ladablah2 Better than being born too early.

[tricegotdatice]

Ayee dis da song Vince vahun got his ass bet too.

[vinnivegas52]

you cut off the end of the song.........that sucks

[ADdadirector]

Samplin it!

[QueenOfTheAubergines]

This song is really weird (not hating, it's not a bad song, it is a little odd, that's all). We're singing this in our school musical (Disco Inferno). Trying to sing alto in this is rather tricky. Odd notes.

[flythatbyme]

@WW2medalsNpatchesME ...oh shit ! .....your a dude.....patches sounds female. Great MUSIC !

[flythatbyme]

@WW2medalsNpatchesME ..... i get you.......so can we have babies together ???

[AaronTrutsJC]

[MrSquirrel415]

[flythatbyme]

@MrSquirrel415 ...I'm impressed that you recognize pure genius talent......But this genre of fussion jazz is not 'rock' ... is existist in another Gallaxy ! .....enjoy !

[hotstuffandicecream]

Still miss this music era..........The 70's produced a lot of Boogie Nights.

[MrNelsonhere]

[gocanesgarrigo]

@beesgirl916 can't stop won't stop. Little bits of color from music like this will always find it's way into my music B-)

[Deldave1]

I was 15 living in Germany on an Army base and this was one of THE groups of 1976! The funny thing is taht it still sounds great today.

[elunicovideo]

I'm 13 and I love this song... reminds me of legends of my dad dancing... ewww

[PiVoSH92]

In Polish Boogie Nights sounds like Bug's nice :)

[litatp04]

I WAS JUST A LITTLE GIRL IN THE 70'S BUT I HAD SO MUCH FUN!!!

[TINKERBELLLISABELL]

I WISH I COULD JUST CLOSE MY EYES AND BE BACK IN 1976 !!!!

[karlmoles65]

@TINKERBELLLISABELL Goddamn, you and me both, even though I'd be 11 it beats 45 in 2011

[MrVallen49]

1976 was a turning point in my life. I had to get up and start enjoying life and coming into puberty. Boy I was in the party scene then, dancing was my thing..

[qwandiddy]

I remember my father bought this single cassette tape in 1991 from Harmony House records when I was only 10, I did used to thought that this came out in that year (1991), and I did seen this on BET Video Soul Top 25 countdown also in that same year, LOL!!!!! Love this Joint!!

[MarquisdelaBlanc]

Is it me, or am I increasingly drawn to black people music? Well, it does sound a HELL of a LOT BETTER than country music, banjos, or...(shudder) Adele. Ugh... she's a terrible singer. You know what they say: "Once you go black, you ain't going back."

[LGLG69]

@MarquisdelaBlanc I like a lot of different styles of music. To me, if it sounds good, that's all that matters--not the color of the person.

[MarquisdelaBlanc]

@LGLG69 Amen to that, dude.

[Militarymight101]

@MarquisdelaBlanc thats whykanye was right when he said beyonce had the greatest video of all time. its not 1952, no one wants to hear that country crap nowadays we love soul and R & B

[inxtrmis]

@MarquisdelaBlanc Black music is the music of America, period. The 70's were especially rich creatively. But, I'll remind you that this particular song is by Rod Temperton, a White English dude (who wrote lots of hits for Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson). So race never matters in music.

[msmillievanili]

@inxtrmis If it sounds good to me that is all that matters. If Cheetah collaborate with Simba and it sounds good I'll buy it

[MarquisdelaBlanc]

@inxtrmis Right, race doesn't matter. I agree with you, man. We might look different, speak different, eat different foods, share different ideas, fight different conflicts. But deep down inside, scientifically and metaphorically speaking, we're the same. Go, Homo Sapiens.

[shirts1000]

@inxtrmis

Yep he was from Humberside UK living in humberstone Grimsby and Hull

[HaroldRehling]

@inxtrmis Let's get it right. The music of 20th century America has been the marriage of African AND European influences; NOT one or the other. In the early 21st century we're seeing Latino influences entering the mix and Asian influences should become more prominent by mid century.

American Culture is World Culture because America is a microcosm of the world!

[inxtrmis]

@HaroldRehling Let's see! BLUES: originated from Black slaves in the cotton fields. JAZZ: grew out of blues music. Then, ROCK/Country: Southern Black music emulated and popularized by the likes of Elvis, the Beatles, etc. R&B/SOUL: taken from Black churches and secularized. DISCO: a nightclub adaptation of R&B SOUL. Derived into HIP HOP, straight from innercity Black youth, etc. etc.. Let's not try to rewrite history here. I love ALL music, but Black music IS the music of America, Period.

[HaroldRehling]

@inxtrmis So, what you're saying is that despite having lived in and around the Scotts-Irish for more than two centuries not one bit of British folk culture and custom was EVER adopted by African-Americans until the 20th century?

Consider reading Thomas Sowell's, "Black Rednecks and White Liberals" or Willie Ruff's writings on Ethnomusicology, specifically about the origins of black spiritual music arising out of slaves exposure to their masters' Hebridean-originated gospels.

[inxtrmis]

@HaroldRehling There is a question of degree! The degree to which Black music has shaped American music is not subject to debate. The type of re-interpretation of history that you're suggesting is almost laughable, no disrespect intended. Ask anyone what cultural influences they detect in American music, or for that matter, Cuban, Brazilian music, etc. Yours is the same type of fallacy that made 60s British Rock bands state unequivocally that their music came from Black America. Just drop it!

[HaroldRehling]

@inxtrmis Seriously? You're going to discredit a Social Theorist who has been associated with Stanford, UCLA, Univ. of Chicago, Harvard, and Columbia, as well as a Musicologist who has been associated with Yale, UCLA, Dartmouth, and Duke? You're prepared to ignore both the complexities of socialization and a detailed study of modalities and instead rely only on only the skin color of the artist?

There is a word for that kind of thinking, "no disrespect intended".

[anormaldude70]

@HaroldRehling You guys are trippin', Asian music is the music of America, obviously. hurr.

[inxtrmis]

@HaroldRehling You're the one who's trying to make a race issue out of this. You read my initial post which is currently the top post on this page. It clearly shows that I don't give a damn what skin color a musician is. You don't know what race I am. On the other hand, your obvious slant shows that you are one of those people who try to deny Black music its dominant place in this culture. So what if a bunch of Ivy league theorists support it? Theorists once contended Blacks were inferior, no?

[HaroldRehling]

@inxtrmis Does it matter to you these academics are of African lineage ("black" using your words) or that the Musicologist a celebrated Jazz musician also?

You are the one who is talking about race by discussing skin color. I'm talking about regional cultures which is a social phenomenon, NOT a genetic one like skin color.

And, no, I don't know whether your racialist comments are ethnochauvinistic or negrophilic ... only that they are racialist.

Top comment? Argumentum ad populum fallacy

[HaroldRehling]

@HaroldRehling Every bit of American culture is a melting pot of all the cultures of all the peoples from all the lands which make up the fabric of America. It's not black or white or yellow or red or brown or paisley or plaid. It is American, European, African, Asian, etc etc.

[inxtrmis]

@HaroldRehling Oh yeah? And the Indian tipi and tomahawk are not Indian, right? They're just American!!! Give me a break with your misappropriation of others' cultures. We are all for racial integration, at least I am, but let's learn to give credit where credit is due, shall we?Your moo goo gai pan served with American or European influence is still Chinese in my book, regardless of what your prized Academicians would vociferate ad nauseam. And stop Googling theories you haven't read.

[HaroldRehling]

@inxtrmis There are few things sadder than willful ignorance ... especially when it greets knowledge with hostility.

[inxtrmis]

@HaroldRehling I could not agree more! Look in the mirror.

[northernrebel184]

Good groovin music....except i dont boogie, although it must have been one great era. :)

[MamaNuveau]

I remember this album cover!! When I was about 7 years old (1976) when we lived in Denver. I used to stare at this cover in awe...while the jams played! Music was so real back then!

[2000taichou]

...some HOT Shyt

[reelphresh]

Man is wish Funk and G-funk would comeback into popularity. Can't fuck with the Funk, cuz it's funky. 2 people cant boogie cuz they're old white people who need hip replacements.

[muzakaly]

@reelphresh the guy who wrote this song is an old white guy, Rod Temperton - he might need a hip replacement soon too lol

[2hard2knock]

Was listening to this when the lights went out in the summer of '76. Wonderful years (of course, life is at its best when you a teenager Lol!)
