I always hated Disco music, still do, but the rhythm section on this song made it a great record. I heard it by accident on a party one night and fe3ll in love with the song. To me, a musician and rocker, it's one of maybe three or four Disco songs that was ever worth listening to.
This is one of the first albums I ever bought. (On sale for $3.99) I was not 21 yet, but I used to dance to this in my living room all the time. And I remember seeing her do it on American Band Stand. Fantastic song.
i don't know what's been written about this song so far but i haven't read ANYTHING that REALLY speaks to what this song used to do to a dance floor. NO MATTER WHO U WERE, WHERE U WERE, THIS WAS A HUGE HUGE NIGHTCLUB RECORDS months b4 it ever got to radio, & went on to gain the status as a classic. blk, wht, asian, latino, gay, str, SIDEWAYS? etc..etc.. PEOPLE USED TO LOOSE THEIR MINDS.!!! & explode into mass hysteria on this record. this personifies a floor peaker. listen to vicki's adlibing
@daryllharris Well put! I couldn't agree more. During the disco era I lived in the NJ/NYC area, and every time this song was played at a disco where I was dancing, the place would just go WILD!!!! Those were THE MOST FABULOUS times of my life and the most fabulous times in the history of music, sadly never to be repeated again. :-(
Vicki Sue Robinson is definitively a very good singer! This song is the original version of the remix that Gloria Stephan did, during the 80's, it sounds better!
yeah i'm 53 and was 21 in 1978? the music in the Clubs was awesome, This was one of the first 'Anthems" I remember, we used to play it, at the apartment, have a few Bacardi & Cokes and hit the Club!!!!!
Re: cheapcape. Blondies first album was released in 1981. This song was released in 1976, so no, Blondie is not the first female rapper. I've looked everywhere I can think of, to find an earlier female rapper, but have yet to find one. If anyone else can, please post a link.
I still cannot believe that the only vicki sue on CD are 'turn the beat around' & 'hold tight'...is it a dispute w/record labels & rights? isn't there at least an underground version of her 12" singles? there must be something somewhere! it's like the music industry just ignored her...what a shame...that lady had true talent!
Great disco music with the one and only best version of this song! Vicki Sue Robinson's was the best! Gloria Estefan tried but it was hard to top this version.
p,s, this lovely lady singing right now was an iconic part of the disco era .. a queen in her own right .. hope she is happy and content where ever she is today .. she had a great influence on my life .. thank you dear .. !!!! love ya .. =)
oh the disco days were the best ever .. and the music got inside your body and made you get up and dance .. even if you couldnt or thought you couldnt dance .. the music would become part of you for a MINUTE .. magical and whimsical .. theres nothing today like it .. when music was truly from sprit
Once this song gets into your system, it's hard to let it go! And, any true disco lover will tell you that. And, thank YOU Megan Mullaly and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter for using this beat in the commercial. I tell ya....every time I hear it, I want to DANCE!
This woman hasn't gotten the props she deserves. Past the amazing singing voice she clearly demonstrates, she's also something else. She's the first female rapper. Hopefully I won't be the only person who recognizes this. She's faster than Shadey. Do her legacy a favor, thumb this one up.
Well I'm not so sure about the rapper part. I think Blondie may have been the first female to do a true rap song.
However I do agree with all the rest. Vicki was an extraordinary talent for sure. She sang (many styles), danced and acted all at a very young age. Unfortunately she was taken way to early in life, so unless you were fortunate enough to live during that period when she was doing just about everything you probably don't even recognize her name.
@bigbirdddd That's not rap, it's skat. Also speed is not the deterministic quality of rap, just because it's fast doesn't mean it isn't total shit. I will agree that this a greatly underrated song, but don't be classifying it incorrectly just because you aren't well versed in music.
I was about 5 yrs old when this song came out and I can STILL remember the first time hearing it! The love for this song WILL NEVER GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!! (And it's a hard one to remake, so I give Gloria Estefan credit)....This is one of my favorite Disco songs!
Poor old Vicki Sue...8:25 mins of requesting the turning around of the beat, and what does she get? Nothing! No accent on the off-beat, no switch to 3/4 (let alone 5/4!), no half-time, not even a tacet..."Leave the Beat the Same" is more like it! Nice voice though.
She is great! I wish we had passionate artists like this still. I love Gloria's version too; her band is better and it sounds a bit more modern, but Vicki really loves to sing this song, you can feel it!
I can't get enough of this song either! I'm 49 years young and I get goosebumps every time I hear it. I sure miss this kind of era of disco. No other music like it out
I love this extended version. The bass line is very much like Nigerian high life music. There is something about Vicki's voice that just makes you smile. She was a very rare person.
What a great song. Pure music happening. She just turned the whole thing on.
Fabulous memorable all-time whopping rave tune. The background vocal work is workin' it. But V. S. Robinson's lead vocal performance takes it to another level. When this came out, on the radio, people went nuts. We would dance at 2a.m. (at the disco) to this and it would feel like we just got there at 11p.m.
As i said in another post....This is the 1ST hip hop record..listen to what shes talking about...In the late seventies the 1st MC's spoke about the beat, the band, the party, the DJ
@maz2aru I'm going to agree to disagree, this was pure hustle music, no converse, no sweatpants, bangles or bandanas, you hustled this song till you smoked the soles of your shoes off. This was not Electric Boogaloo hip hop, that didn't come to much later on. my.02
@shadow9339 ah, come on Shadow!~..cant you imagine what this song was beFORE they watered it down for radio? You cant see her in street gear beFORE they glamed her for mainstream appeal? And again the hip hop themed lyrics? Try again my friend/lol
I was 26 in 1976 and this song was one of the songs that everyone got up to dance to at Studio One and Cabaret in Los Angeles. Great memories! I heard somewhere that Vicki Sue Robinson recorded this song in one take. Rest in Peace.
I would dance at Westwood in L.A. when this song was out. The words while simple are understandable. Most of todays music is missing this fire and its not because I'm stuck in a time warp.
my high school marching band played dis song for our halftime show in 2000 my freshman year.shouts out to da albany high school indians and the albany high school marchin chiefs.orange and green just cant hide dat indian pride.
I just can't get enough of this song! I'm 55 years young, and I can STILL shake it down every time I hear this. Love the old dance disco music. THE BEST EVER!
@thedoorsforever Port Orange, Florida here near Daytona. I'm ready to rock! I can't get enough of this song. AND! I just watched Saturday Night Live and Bruno Mars was on. Never heard of him but loved his second number. Now, I'm REALLY ready to dance!
@pepperonibill I tell young people all the time, for those fortunate enough, to have experienced the magic that was Disco, will have that urge the rest of their lives to
get a "spot on the floor" on Saturday Night! It's forever in us, never to leave us!!!!
@wedge4hire I guess when Disco was around from mid to late 70's was the BEST dance music ever, and it was a very magical time for the lucky people to have experienced it. There will probably NEVER be another period in our lifetime like this again. Music these days just isn't the same. To all the dancers out there who still appreciate that good old dance beat, I lift my champagne glass to keep the beat alive and KEEP ON DANCING!
@theDjangoTango Were you around at that time? I mean, there were some VERY memorable songs in the 80's, 90's, and some in the last 10 years. But the disco era wasn't ONLY music. It was a way of life, from fashion, to hair, to women's makeup, to men's platform shoes, to partner ballroom dancing where we all learned certain dance steps. Other than the traditional "ballroom" dances, there hasn't been ANYTHING else like it since then....has there? And, I'm not jus talking about the Macarena!
@pepperonibill I'm the same age and I was raised on classic rock from the 60's & 70's. I absolutely hated disco. This was probably the first disco song I grudgingly started to like. I tried not to but I couldn't help myself. The synchopated rhythm is just irresistible, Vicki Sue had such a great voice and she was sexy and classy to boot. And now I can't get enough of this song.
@amoom0 I hear ya! I was raised on the same kind of classic 60's & 70's rock music too and didn't even know what disco music was...I guess it started in 1975? I heard this song and was hooked on the beat, and since I've always LOVED to dance I found my style to dance, and I went on to take up modern jazz, ballet, and ballroom. I just can't get enough of good dance music....and nowadays that includes Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" and Bruno Mars "Grenade". Keep that dance beat going!
@mmangum4444 Hey! When disco first came on the scene, I don't know WHERE I was...as it started to make its entrance in, what, 1975? But, got really going in 1977 and I became hooked! When in the clubs on the dancefloor, ya just kept dancing and NEVER got tired! I really miss those high energy songs. And this song, no matter WHERE I am if I hear it, will always make me start shaking my shoulders or hips and start dancing because that's just the type of guy I am. I'll ALWAYS love disco!
Every period can probably be described by its music(fashion, style, slang, even the commercials) and one can usually figure out approximately when that type of music was popular.You hear a song and you say:Oh, yeah! I remember when! It was just the perfect time for disco!
@pepperonibill I'm with ya! I was a kid in the seventies but even so, I loved just about everything that I experienced in that easy-going decade! Disco has never left my soul and it never will!
I always hated Disco music, still do, but the rhythm section on this song made it a great record. I heard it by accident on a party one night and fe3ll in love with the song. To me, a musician and rocker, it's one of maybe three or four Disco songs that was ever worth listening to.

@thedoorsforever Port Orange, Florida here near Daytona. I'm ready to rock! I can't get enough of this song. AND! I just watched Saturday Night Live and Bruno Mars was on. Never heard of him but loved his second number. Now, I'm REALLY ready to dance!

@pepperonibill I tell young people all the time, for those fortunate enough, to have experienced the magic that was Disco, will have that urge the rest of their lives to
get a "spot on the floor" on Saturday Night! It's forever in us, never to leave us!!!!

@wedge4hire I guess when Disco was around from mid to late 70's was the BEST dance music ever, and it was a very magical time for the lucky people to have experienced it. There will probably NEVER be another period in our lifetime like this again. Music these days just isn't the same. To all the dancers out there who still appreciate that good old dance beat, I lift my champagne glass to keep the beat alive and KEEP ON DANCING!

@theDjangoTango Were you around at that time? I mean, there were some VERY memorable songs in the 80's, 90's, and some in the last 10 years. But the disco era wasn't ONLY music. It was a way of life, from fashion, to hair, to women's makeup, to men's platform shoes, to partner ballroom dancing where we all learned certain dance steps. Other than the traditional "ballroom" dances, there hasn't been ANYTHING else like it since then....has there? And, I'm not jus talking about the Macarena!

@pepperonibill I'm the same age and I was raised on classic rock from the 60's & 70's. I absolutely hated disco. This was probably the first disco song I grudgingly started to like. I tried not to but I couldn't help myself. The synchopated rhythm is just irresistible, Vicki Sue had such a great voice and she was sexy and classy to boot. And now I can't get enough of this song.

@amoom0 I hear ya! I was raised on the same kind of classic 60's & 70's rock music too and didn't even know what disco music was...I guess it started in 1975? I heard this song and was hooked on the beat, and since I've always LOVED to dance I found my style to dance, and I went on to take up modern jazz, ballet, and ballroom. I just can't get enough of good dance music....and nowadays that includes Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" and Bruno Mars "Grenade". Keep that dance beat going!

Me, too(age-wise, 55)! When disco music first came on the scene, it was so energetic and refreshing! Especially this song!

@mmangum4444 Hey! When disco first came on the scene, I don't know WHERE I was...as it started to make its entrance in, what, 1975? But, got really going in 1977 and I became hooked! When in the clubs on the dancefloor, ya just kept dancing and NEVER got tired! I really miss those high energy songs. And this song, no matter WHERE I am if I hear it, will always make me start shaking my shoulders or hips and start dancing because that's just the type of guy I am. I'll ALWAYS love disco!

@pepperonibill
Every period can probably be described by its music(fashion, style, slang, even the commercials) and one can usually figure out approximately when that type of music was popular.You hear a song and you say:Oh, yeah! I remember when! It was just the perfect time for disco!
mmangum4444 1 year ago
@mmangum4444 Well, I'm just fortunate that I can be part of that genre. And those who weren't there don't know what they were missing!

@pepperonibill
Yes, it was a magic time for all of us who enjoyed the music!
mmangum4444 1 year ago
@mmangum4444 And, I WILL stop at what I'm doing and DANCE to it when I hear it!
