[steadfastcoward]

Can sing, can dance. I can't scat like that nor play that way. Will keep Breezin' though.

[jinhh1]

I was 12 years old when this music video first came out, and I still remember the thrill and excitement it gave me. Also, when I saw his performance in Korea in 2004, I coudn't help but stand up and dance.. Thank you, Mr. Benson.

[buffet62]

So much into the jam that I forgot I pushed the "like" button twice. How clumsy of me. Thanks George for being a part of my life while growing up. I'm married to a wonderful man with 4 beautiful children. Your music has been with me since Jr. high school. The best to you and family.

[mcsl74]

I love this song

[0Zcrow]

I would like to live in those years, it looks so magic...

[grizzlyfan41]

@0Zcrow It was magic.....and fun times too!

[philster611]

@0Zcrow They were........you can't imagine the vibe songs like this gave us. No matter wherever you were, once this song came on he radio, PA , Sony walkman, TV, You were instantly in a good mood...... This was the time of Give me the Night, Off the Wall, Just the Two of Us, Hotter than July etc, You can't imagine hearing these albums for the first time when they were first released. People were more friendlier, outgoing, positive, Less calculated. And this music set the tone of those times

[AMEB11]

Why can't music be like this anymore? I feel so good when i listen to this. Man this is what good times are all about!!!!! Come back real music! :)

[zivley]

@AMEB11

I feel like you, bro!

Do you know what I think? In 20-30 years from now, when my son grows older, and start looking in "youtube" for the music he grew up, what would that be? what will he tell his grandsons? that back then when he was young he listened dubstep, syncpop, remix this and remix that? Will him tell them "that was music" ?

The future looks grey, suddenly...

[julioveloso70]

classic of disco, tks

[Delia661]

OMG man I'm still feeling this in 2011!!!! just like it was yesterday!

[SidewalksOfNY315]

Classic song and video. My mother's house-cleaning music.

Pullin' up in front of a hot-dog stand in a Rolls Royce. You know youre cool when you can do something like that.

[gumbyman540]

Thank You, George Benson and Akimdemars. Perfection and class.

[awomaninva55]

[ABMoller]

Most cool guy in the world - and he still is !!

[TheViralSBK]

Pure class... he can do a pop tune like this, and yet he's a mind-blowing jazz guitarist; on this tune he's really keeping his guitar virtuosity to a minimum

[KingzThe360]

2 people doesn't know how to rollerskate :D

[KOFFI69]

Who is that supercool Chick on Percussion?

[TheKenfig]

This is a big hitter of a record isnt it ?

[iwillknifeya]

I am so glad you posted the music clip for this, cheers mate! :D My mum got me into George Benson as well as numerous other old artists. I just love the pumping bassline in this and the really great vibe this song has (along with many of Benson's songs).

[Multi7079]

@AKIMDEMARS

[angelo062367]

George is the greatest, I love to sing and hear this song.

[Peltrikonijn1]

George is the greatest. I love to hear and sing this song.

[edyken77]

This funk is unstoppable.  No wonder house producers sample the shit out of this track!

[larstcon78]

Love this song!!!! Produced by the genius that is Quincy Jones.

[KRAMERTROPOLIS]

[JEIWILBER]

2 non earthlings came to see this video ! ! !

[Narcomics]

[rpmir1]

it is ridiculous how talented and funkalicious this guy is. top 10 favourite artists of all time.

[ASASHANYA]

Vocals brings some reggae vibe here))

[WX5G]

Gee remember it well. Benson, kook and the gang, Donna Summer, and others set the beat and we provided the feet. Get your back up off the wall. We had no problem doing that. Skating rings were packed. Platform shoes and polyester digs. There was no internet and cable TV was just getting off he ground. We danced all night and worked all day from Studio 54 on Manhattan Island, Grand Hotel in San Antonio, out to the Roxy in LA, the beat went on.

[2568947356]

É UM MÁXIMO ESTE CLIPE ELE MARCA O FIM DOS ANOS 70 PRA COMEÇO DOS 80 VER OS TRADICIONAIS PATINS ENTÃO QUE TEMPOS VIU!

[cliffcox66]

His voice matches perfectly his guitar's voice.

[romskemilan]

good funk nice thinks

[crushfan76]

A seamless blend of Jazz, Funk and pop all rolled into one as only George knows how to do! This song always picks me up! Always and never fails!

[thomasey2]

[rickastleyrickrolled]

I hear this song everywhere ! :D

[crazymancity]

Oldie but always will be a goodie!!!

[valreshel]

Such a groove and to skate to it, brought back all my happy childhood skating days in the streets of our neighborhood. George was fly, smooth moves. Thank you for the joy .

[maximilli111]

oh i love this song so much better than the mainstream shit i hear now...

[fun2run21]

I remember this song roller skating in Orlando,Fl at Sun State Roller Rink (sadly it's gone now). The rhythm and groove sounds so good! Every time I hear this song it reminds of those good ole days! I sure enjoyed those times and the great music! I wish they made music this good nowadays!!!!

[philster611]

George B is probably the coolest ever....... and he skates as well. Doesn't get much cooler than that............

[philster611]

So this is where Flight of the Conchords got he idea for "Ladies of the World".....lol

[666jony666]

The back up singer playing the percussion instruments is absolutely gorgeous

[tikisong]

Rare funk? This is a jazz artist doing a top 40 song?!

[mysupersweetFreak]

Roller, funk, beautiful girls... Don't you know we can fly? <3 <3

[theblakgeek]

That's how you do it George...have her pour YOUR glass!!! LOL.

[buttacudawey]

no better than this is right..yeah....lol

[MrRockabilly70]

It doesn't get much better than this, George Benson personifies COOL in fact if you look up the word in the dictionary you'll see a picture of George. he,he

This music brings back some great memories and eventhough I was only young back then, the 70's and 80's were great decades for music.

I seriously doubt you'll ever see or hear artists and music of this calibre again, thank god for my vinyl/CD collection which I listen to regularly and youtube for keeping this music alive!

[Glat64]

@MrRockabilly70 ... Well said !

[MrRockabilly70]

@Glat64

Thank you, I'm glad you agree.

[54495319145]

"cause there's music in the air and lots of lovin everywhere..." now when was the last time in recent memory have you heard singing/lyrics like this?

[MyMary55]
