  • Neat seeing G.E. Smith on bass.

  • @crlaw75 wasn't he a saturday night live band member in the 90s

  • @taylor4660, yes he was. He was the bandleader and played guitar.

  • I'm back again...heard the a similar bass rift...love listening to DH...RIP

  • Dude, I love the long version! thanx 4 posting.

  • All hail Harrisburg, Pa.'s own "Dan Hartman"!

  • Pour toi aussi "Instant Replay" c'est le jingle du ralenti radio sur RTL ! ;)

  • Excellent!!

  • R.I.P. Dan Hartman, openly gay artist who died of AIDS in 1994. He got theGAY Disco record right! Village People and Sly both failed.

  • Who can bring back 70's & 80's again PLEASE???

  • gggggrrrrrreeeeeeeaaaaattttttt­t.......

  • 15 years old, exchange student party 1978 / 79 Loads of French girls there. oh yes! If only life was that good all the time.

  • Love this. Try going back with the Soreles with( I can dream about you.)

  • Music has never been about color. Dan Hartman's music will live on forever, just as the original rock 'n roll "doo wop" songs have. I never get tired of hearing "my true story," "in the still of the night." Hartman's music will be listened to long after us baby boomers are gone. It's feel good music that makes you want to get up and dance. Not the rap crap stuff that today's youth listen to and think its music.

  • disco by dan heartman better than black people who sing

  • Thank you for posting! This song was running through my head and it wouldnt come out! Thank God for Google, You Tube and iTunes! LOL!

Dan and T-Bone... R.I.P.

  • i love this song Roto Disco!!

  • The Odyssey at Beverly Blvd. and La Cienega in 1980.

  • I'd like to ask those morons who like to berate anything from the disco era a question: Where in your sorry lives have you heard a saxaphone as fun and perfectly melodic as you hear in this song? What was that? Couldn't answer? Yeah, didn't think so.. You and your fucking ugly scraggly hairs, your bullshit harsh guitar sound, and your perfect inability to write anything melodic. As far as I'm concerned, you paved the way for all the shit that followed.. Rap or metal, anything with no melody.

  • first 20 secs heard in nearly every amusement arcade across the uk

  • Pretty much everyone points out the famous bassist and guitarist... absolutely no love for drummer Hilly Michaels? Come on! He was in Sparks briefly and went on to record the fairly amazing "Calling All Girls" LP.

  • AWESOME HIT!! I llllloved this song when I was little lol...Then again on the dance floor through all my dancing, club-hopping days...But isn't that the bass player in the red vest of Hall & Oates fame?? Almost certain!

  • I never heard this ever in my life.

  • There seemed to be a lot amount of cross pollenation between music groups back in the 70s -- singers, musicians moving around. You don't seem to see that so much today. I wonder why and what impact that has on the music of the time.

  • It's funny that two replacement members of KISS played in disco groups. Vinnie Vincent on guitar here and Eric Carr playing drums for Bionic Boogie.

    Does anyone know if GE Smith actually played bass on this song? Dan Hartman was a bassist as well as a keyboard player.

  • OMG!!!! now way!!!!! thats Vinnie vincent!

  • Wow ...Vinnie Vincent doing disco.....luv ya babe

  • played this regularly when I was a DJ. Always got them up, dancing and smiling!

  • Back when the talented pop music makers made you feel good...today's pop music makes me sick to my stomach, with it's one-chord melodies and boring drumming.

  • I hear you bro........X factor is just a freak show....

  • @bradchaz true words never spoken

  • A fantastic bit of trivia on Dan Hartman: he wrote the hit 'Free Ride' and played bass, in The Edgar Winter Group--who knew!!?? Great talent...RIP

  • I could remember WBLS & WKTU playing the begin part of the track 10 seconds befor the end of eacj year back in 79 to 81

  • @harderizbetter I was just saying to myself, I remember hearing this song on WBLS in New York back in the late 70's or early 80's... reading your post just confirmed it !!!!

I'm spinning like a '74 Cuda on the wet pavement! Vrooom!!! I Love this Song! I swear it was on the opening of Erica Khane's Disco on AMC! Anyone with me??

  • Ahhhh, the glorious days of pantomime.

    This was one the "get going" tunes that I loved back in the late 1970's and early 1980's. i think i blew out at least one set of speakers in my Toyota Supra.(that was back when they would go and stop on driver command)

  • Vinnie and G E Smith cant stop giving eachother dorky homo looks over and over again like they cant believe they are human or something....WTF...I say!!!!! Someone needs to kill them both at once!

  • btw, i'll have what they're having! LOL

  • Yes, can I have an order of what ever they are on!

  • Vinnie you look sooooooo...well...Vinnie!!!!

  • The most gigantic thank you to you djmahogany for this video! I can't believe it. This is the real gift! (Sorry for the filthy english, I am only a dumb frog.)

  • im sure this is a must have 4 any vinni fan but like any female celeb that did nude photos b 4 she became famous im sure he just wants to 4 get about it because a sax solo & no guitar solo is just plain FUCKED UP know what im saying u dont know what im saying so 4 get about it !!!!!

  • dance fever says uzipolo king of decatur

    Actually, I'm pretty okay I missed this era.

  • I was just shopping at Trader Joe's and I caught myself tapping my toe to this tune as it played over the P.A.

  • Does someone can tell me the name of this bassist?

  • G.E.Smith

  • former music director for SNL.

  • Great Video, bro. I love this song. RIP, DAN. A REAL GENIUS.

  • didn't dan die of aids?

  • True definition of "feel good music"

  • Hey..isn't that G.E.Smith?????

  • Yes it is!, a long time bass man for the great Hall & Oates

  • i love so much dan hartmannnnnnnnnn

  • que recuerdossssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­s

  • The second i heard this song in 1979, i ran out and bought the 45. Anyone remember those, in a number unrelated to anything else of that %ahem% caliber?

  • cool..Vinnie playing disco.... he has no body rythmn but he surely can play that guitar.....go Vinnie go...luv ya babe

  • cuasar discoteq matamoros tamaulipas recuerdos

  • Love this! Makes me feel 17 again. Why cant the music today make you feel soooo happy !

  • cos we are old grumpy people now and we definitely can't dance like we used to without being that infamous uncle or aunty lol

  • @lozzzmi agree what u say.

    even though i was born in 1987, i still love old music!!!

  • @lozzzmi

    Maybe The Jonas Brothers can answer your question

  • que delicia escuchar el ritmo de la cancion.

  • I had the '45...the flip side was just as good--"This is It." This is such a powerfully upbeat song...so sad he died so young. What a gift to the world.

  • That's Vinnie "Vincent" Cusano on guitar and G.E.Smith on bass. Cusano, as Vinnie Vincent, played in KISS for a short period in the 80s. G.E.Smith was a band leader at SNL for many years and also played with Hall &Oates.
