[GARY84000]

Pour toi mon bibi que j'aime :))

[LakeCeo3]

What you know about sweating out your hairdo and that brand new outfit because you can't leave the dance floor because the music just got hold of you?! What you know about pulling out those flats because you knew once you jam came on you was about to show them how to work it out?! This music is enough to keep you intoxicated without the drinks!

[SnowyDae]

Good to see so mant other moms out there giving their babies the gift of great music! My 16 year old knows and appreciates everybody from Otis Redding to Rod Stewart to Earth, Wind,and Fire to Tupac and EVERYTHING in between

[juanisabastard]

[Kurrency1911]

[fittess44]

all i can say is i feel like i am hearing this song for the first time- i can hear all kinds of instruments -i don't think i ever heard before- - applause to the poster

[fittess44]

[Pistolk007]

Class pure class.........................­............young people listen in, this is real music :), I'm so lucky I'm the age I am :D, wouldnt want to be 18 again, been there done that, but come through with a sense of style :D

[112DIMPLEZ]

My dad have over like 500 oldies albums...plays them every night lol...and this is coming from a 11 yr old smh : ) :D

[nicklong1981]

@112DIMPLEZ See this is real music not that crap on the radio, keep listenin to the oldies. I love the 70s also, but the 80's has the best music hands down.

[StreetSoundzHDN]

@112DIMPLEZ Fact!

[wysdomp]

Good old days, young, innocent, no worries!!

[ZkiwiBurtonFan]

Or maybe both this and hip-hop are acceptable types of music, beautiful in their own ways, and should work together rather than alienating each other.

[danigsoready]

I'm only 25 but I remember when my parents used to play this on the record player, this song was my introduction to the Gap Band & that infectious voice of Uncle Charlie Wilson!!! This song will always be the jam, much love to the Cowboys of Tulsa, Ok!!!

[CASSi32009]

I LOVE HOW PEOPLE ARE SAYING THIS IS 'BLACK' MUSIC WHEN I GREW UP LISTING TO THIS. I AM A CHICANA & I LOVE THE GAP BAND & THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG. MUSIC IS LOVE & IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH COLOR. GET OVER YOURSELF!

[StreetSoundzHDN]

@CASSi32009 have a listen to the Kenny Thomas version

[CASSi32009]

@StreetSoundzHDN yes i just did & i really like it! thanks!

[atukaaaa]

So So Def ... Bad Boy ... collaboration ;)

[Maidenari]

All I have to say is that if you are a parent dissatisfied with the music your kids listen to nowadays, EDUCATE THEM. I'm 18 and can sing Gap, Cameo, EW&F, Chaka, and pretty much any artist from 1950's on ward from memory. I'm sure I was dancing to this stuff in the womb. Hell, there's video of me dancing to it in my crib.

[mushy295]

@Maidenari SWEEEEEET

[demivaldez]

My mom educated us on all this great music and i'm only 20yrs and i love it!!

[amber442]

@Maidenari Tell them to listen, then they would say " I am listening". You say, no really listen. LOL Instruments

[hump210]

It izs a shame these artist have to sell themselves to get back on their feet.....RAP

[hlcarter569]

Anything Charlie does makes me happy. Amazing voice.

[hlcarter569]

One of my absolute favorite songs.

[vase33788]

@hlcarter569 This one of my favorite also along with all the songs of this era.

[sepiasiren]

a voice to melt butter--loooove it

[TheMrsRedbone]

When music had a meaning!

[HouTown1]

Yes, yes, yes... a time when music WAS music, not the garbage today. Like the title implies this era's music was ..."OUTSTANDING"!

[Madea8917]

Charlie still got it! Sexy

[dereklukewife]

[NoxiousSubstance]

[Farre88]

@TheFate23 Disco? This? You must be mistaken. This is funk!

[danaloraine]

OH I miss these days!

[MrCancer1965]

One of my all time favorite hits by The Gap Band, the other one is Big Fun. They have a lot of hits that I like. But these two are all time favorites. And of course The Gap Band is one of my all time favorite groups. Morris Day & The Time come in as a close second.

[DaMostEnigmatic]

having a dislike bar for this should be illegal

[loveyaback123]

I love music that is from the 70's 80's 90's 60's anything back then. I listen to lots of things my mom listen to and these are one of them

[diogoca]

@loveyaback123 you know what is good...in my house, only i'm in delirious with 70...80s groove, soul, funk = best bassline ever

[evergreenstater]

[souljjah1234]

@TheLadyrakasha What the hell are you doing? This isn't some lil wayne or lil skeazy (or what ever the hell that frog calls himself) video. This is real, classic grown folk music, so take your "bang bang bang, beat that pussy up, two steppin', I sound like a cotdamn idiot"-type "music" elsewhere, please. Thank you, hun. 

[ImmortalTheatre94]

@souljjah1234 I love how I'm 17, I love this music. I have the original records and everything. And I have more respect then some adult. Just sad.
