  • And you add the MCs rapping to this, it was 100x better than anything to Good Times.

  • This song was once considered NYC's national anthem. My all time favorite. It is 2012 and it can still rock any party. Truly a timeless classic. I love this version and the Larry Levan remix as well. It takes me back to old block parties and when DJs played music in the parks. Those were the days.

  • Yes ... A National Treasure

  • Very nice indeed

  • One of the best

  • Mo-Fo SoB, The original...

  • THE GATEWAY NYC...

  • Classic.

    This song and Parliament Funkadelic's(One nation under a groove) are NYC block party staples.

  • Love this record to death. I can just smell NYC when I see this. In a good way. lol.

  • Hustle jam.

  • THIS SONG ALWAYS GOT THE PARTY STARTED....YEAH BABY!!!

  • Love is the message and what a beautiful message it is.

  • WHO SAID LEAVING AT 4- TRY 11:00 IN THE MORNING,JUST IN TIME TO EAT PANCAKES,LOL

  • from Wikipedia.September 20, 2004, the record became among the first to be inducted into the newly formed Dance Music Hall of Fame. Love is the message (release date 1973)

    Producers Gamble and Huff

  • Classic Deep House song in Chicago in the 80's

  • this takes me back to Brooklyn growing up...the blocks parties....rocking...word to mother!!!

  • This is the song of life. takes me back to my youth carrying on at the ButterMilkBottom, Better Days and the club to end all motherfucking clubs the Paradise Garage. Oh Yeah

  • @latinorick71 What city? Love the name ButterMIlkBottom. In Boston it was Jason's, Cache, BostonBoston. I miss those days.

  • @Bostongrl6 New York City great times

  • @latinorick71 Remembering leaving the Garage at 4 in the morning and then headed off to the loft where Mr.Mancuso would do his thing great great times

  • The hustle RULED.NYC clubs:54,Xenon,Impanema,LaCasa­blanca,ones,underground.After hour spots.Dancing till dawn, non stop, beautiful girls never a fat one.Roseland on Fridays, Susan Barch parties @Bentley's 1st wed of each month,MK,Nells,2bc,World, Danceteria, Area,THE PARADISE GARAGE if I forgot some,I apologize.Club kid from late 70's thru early 90's after that,yuppies and mid western transplants with their narrow minds and money killed it. At least that NYC will always be remembered in my mind.

THEN Franky Crocker started to catch on because intitially they only played the vocal portion of the song and had NO IDEA that the instrumental was killin it it in the clubs!

  • I don't even know where to begin with this post!!! It was a HUGE deal when the original version came out in 1973 and people (not DJs yet!) would just set speakers in their windows in the projects (like LG) and play this over and over, the 'hard rocks' with their Kangols, tank t-shirs, gabardine pants from Delancey St and either Pro-Keds or Converse would be outside hustling real cool with the girlies to this! If there is EVER an ALL-TIME classic to define NYC, no matter where you are, its this!
