  • I remember this as a big floor filler, then Kool & the Gang did "Ladies Night", which I thought was a rip-off musically of this song, and this song kinda faded away in the clubs....was a real damn shame...

  • Really cool soul/funk/disco jams.LORD God I thank you that I grew up in the 70's and 80's GOLDEN AGE of Black music!

  • This was an all-time jam in Detroit!

  • This is a JAM

  • The Brand New Heavies remade this song.

  • I absolutely adore this track .. for me it never ages :-)

    Listen to more music like this at Funk-U-Radio - best in 70's 80's Jazz, Funk, Soul, Disco :-)

  • block parties and house parties!!! i was a pre-teen when this came out and i remember my parents, aunts, uncles all jamming to this, and us kids (wanting to be grown) were getting down too!!

  • Lucky to be a part of this era. Smooth funk no sampling straight playing

  • you are cool

  • Kids don't understand great music. Why waste your time. Kids are listening to untalented people like slim shady. Some punk who needs a belt and my fist.

  • when this video first came on i thought the soul train dancers was gon break it down. what a gyp.

  • Quality arrangement. I defy anybody to not find some part of their body wiggling of its own accord when this comes on

  • Did I hear "Don't Push It, Don't Force It" in the mix?

  • Agreed. Plus the rhythm track of Ladies' Night by Kool and the Gang. You could play all three simultaneously and get a very listenable result.

  • Bom demais!Que saudade!!!!

  • Man what a great song! Too bad we can't have music like this today. The 70's was about real music and talent from the artists.

  • Quelle chanson mais quelle chanson !

    Elle est vraiment culte !

  • There is nothing better like this !!!!!!!!

  • esta musica foi e e tudo de bom..

  • Alicia Myers sang her ass off on the solo. That girl has a set of pipes on her. She later left & went solo & had a successful career.

  • Best skating song ever!!!!

  • 1580 KDAY in Santa Monica used to love this song when it first came out. It played at 5:45 in the morning, it played at 9:00 at night, 12:30. We liked it too, but not that much.

  • Who in here were loyal KDAY listeners around 1985-1986? Also, who remembers the actual instrumental version they used to play of Captain Rapp before the original version was ever played?

  • I was in Cali at that time, anytime I was in the LA area, i used to listen to KDAY...coming from NY it was amazing to hear hip hop being played all day long like that...

  • Kool. I'm trying to find a couple of songs I only heard on KDAY. I kinda lost touch with all my old comrades from my youth who I know would know. Some song called "Rescue Me" from 1986 and the Bad Times instrumental version by Captain Rapp. Not the instrumental of the vocal version but a dub-like version.

  • sorry, can't help you with any of those...were they LA artists? my joint out there was the Batter Ram by Toddy Tee..I was stationed with some cats from Compton, and they definitely exposed me to those LA artists that were tearing it up back then...

  • I listened to kday, but also in san diego so I was a evening listener so I can't help you.Whatever happened to 1580 kday, by the way. All we get now is a country station that's a pain in the ass from tucson here in dago at night.

  • AAh!So that´s where David Christie got the groove for "Saddle Up"!The more I discover from One Way,the more I like it!

  • Greg Edwards used to cane this tune on Capital Radio(London) on Saturday evenings!!

  • Tune!

  • 88:an och 23:an. disco på myrsjöskolan. Bobbadilla. året var 1979!!!

    They don't make music like this anymore!!!

    I got the album = Love it.

  • Wow!! this is the party jaaaammmm!!!

    class of 1977 Manual Arts HighSchool

    Still Bill #*5

  • ahhh yes!! this is the Jam! Just love it everything about it!! So funky & soulful!!

  • Le premier morceau qui m'ai vraiment "scotché" dans une discothèque.

    Megève, le Roll's Club" .....

  • Do you have "Music" from the same album?

  • And what about: Let's Talk ... from One Way

  • This is the extended that MuzicMan1967 posted. MusicMan posted a single edit of "You Can Do It" on different pressings like the ABC and MCA label. It was originally released on the ABC label and later released on MCA, because MCA took over ABC, because the label bought out. That's why ABC records went out of business, but the ABC name still remains as a TV network as well and it is still a parent company of Disney.

  • I guess that Al Hudson & the Partners' "You Can Do It" was the last single for ABC Records until the label finally took over and it was later released on MCA after it was bought out. There you go.
