lets be honest...no bs...this song is absouloutly epic...i love elo...born in 78 dad ran a skateing rink...this and most of elo's catalog are rink staples...love this ty for upload...epic
Hear hear, PJJammie,a great output over decades ignored by (lets be straight ,here) a bunch of no talent bureaucrats who in the real world wouldn't be able to pour piss out of a boot with the directions written on the f***ing heel !
What a song I had to come back. It has that sound of a guy in a convertible with 5 chics driving thru the streets lste at night. ELO you gave us this forgotton mEGAHIT i love it. what a song what a group. Tomkes doo wop/rocknroll historian
I didn't realize back in the day, just a girl in junior high school, what a special sound Jeff Lynne created and contributed to the industry. I just knew I LOVED them and their music. Still do...
It really peeves me off that he STILL has not been inducted into the Rock N Roll Music Hall of Fame. He wrote so many great ones. For himself and many others.
Queen's only attempt at something even resembling soul, disco or rap was when they plagerized the bass line from Sugar Hill Gang in their "song" Another One Bites the Dust.
As for The Who, they received great acclaim from the U.S. anti-disco crowd with their song "Sister Disco," from Who Are You.
I personally was at a Who concert where the entire audience chanted "Disco sucks! Disco sucks!" after they played that number.
this is my all time ELO fave....oh the memories of reverse speed skate racing with the dj spinning this one...........oh those were the days... i would do it all again, any day!
Im biggest fan of SHINE A LITTLE LOVE. I played it 2000 times off 8 track and now cd. Such a forgotton song. What FUN The music, I feel like its a guy in car with women driving thru the summer air. IM in love with THIS SONG. Its simple but powerfully in overdrive. not disco really but a sound ive never heard.CRAZY, WILD,UNPREDCTABLe, SEXY SILLY but GREAT>My friends liston & learn. SHINE A LITTLE LOVE all Happy for all of us. TOMK ps im playing it now on my cd.
I used to wear my three peice leisure suits out Saturday nights disco dancing!! Great memories!!! I hope Disco makes a comeback!! ELO is AWSOME!!!!! Thankyou for posting this video!!!!
Their early band logo was pretty cool- it was adapted from the "GE"(General Electric) logo. It's on their '73 album "On The Third Day". The final logo was of course designed after the classic Wurlitzer jukebox cabinet- then morphing into their spaceship
This is included on Kelly's official website: "It is with great sadness that I have to inform the fans that Kelly Groucutt died on the afternoon of 19th February 2009 of a heart attack. Our hearts and thoughts go out to Anna and Kelly's family. He touched all of our lives with his love, kindness and generosity as well as his talent for music and song. He was a true and wonderful friend who loved every second of life and he will be greatly missed by us all." God bless you Kelly wherever you are!
Hey! Just asking anyone out there if you could find the videos of these guys singing this song and "Don't Bring Me Down" LIVE on TV! I remembered it in 1979 but couldn't remembered what show they were on...SNL...Fridays....or Midnight Special??

The obligatory disco song at the height of the craze.
Everyone had to do one...from McCartney's "Good Night Tonight" to The Grateful Dead's "Shakedown Street." Lol! No one was immune!
This stuff got so many "disco sucks" ELO fans' knickers in a twist...yours truly included!
And 30 years later, all I can think is "what the heck, big freaking deal."

I said funk. Not Disco.
Queen had their album "Hot Space" which followed the style of "Another One Bites the Dust."
And the Who had "Eminence Front", their funk number.
By the way, I envy that you were able to see them in concert.
