love this song. reminds me of dancing at the school youth club, if i can remember there was a dance move to it too. how can you not move to this song tho?
i used to take every opportunity to see the man live.. nobodies voice could compare to his live..records never did him justice you only get a hint of what he could do from them...pure class and sadly missed
Man this guy can sing his ass off, what ever happened to Edwin Starr I love this song and always will,,,, This song still kills the dance floor.........
where have all those great years of my youth gone, this tune, k.c & the s.s band queen of clubs, commodores machine gun,moments & whatnots girls,god I've got old to quickly.......some body please bring those days back
@TheSteviemoore hi your so right all that music tv shows it was so much fun to be alive then. we have gone badly wrong somewhere,no one can stop getting old oh how i would love that to be the case , just spend now and forever in the 70s and early 80 such a magical time.. im not about to top myself but i do miss it so much . take care
love this song i listen to it in the car and i wasnt living in the 70's hehe i know all of the words and i love lots of other 70's music way better stuff than stuff thesedays sometimes
Edwin Starr, the King of Funk!! How great to have found this on You Tube. Takes me back to packed dance floors at the Bali Hai / Cinderellas in Leeds (now that's going back a bit!)
This was a must song for us back in the 70's. What great energy This brought out in us and the day to day worries , Hell; we left em at the door ! This song is a must Dance To Tune. RIP Edwin STARR and Thanks for all the Love You Bestowed on us with your great Music!
one of a few(lucky) males, with a coach load of factory girls-from crompton parkinson(doncaster) night out to aquarious,chesterfield 80's/scampi basket meals/edwin/bliss
I remeber when i was in the army and in the late 70s this came on in mecca/cats in burnley and the dance floor just filled up with soulers , to this day i still get the shivers down me back when i here it classic top music
By this time i was at welyn garden city going to college we had campus disco this song was played so much and everyone danced all night long and so did i things were good noe you go out the atmosphere is not as good ........
Yep, I had the good fortune to meet Edwin twice. I used to book acts for a hospital social club and was amazed after chatting to him after a show in Basingstoke that he agreed to appear for us. A real coup. Fantastic genuine guy to talk to. RIP great man.
ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh ssssssiiiiiiiiiii... me ha sacado de los bajones mas grandes...y por supuesto, me ha a compañado en los momentos mas felices de mi vida en los ultimos 30 años !!!!!!!!
Met my wife and then married her because of this tune, eye 2 eye contact, I was hooked and more so, she could dance to this with all the fancy footwork. 14 years - Amazing -
Take em 2 school...it is good they listening to some REAL MUZAK though! BIG UP..can't stop snapping my fingers and clapping my hands...soul clapping!!!
Temazooooooo...Gracias Edwin Starr..... infartable en una fiesta......
