[Litetorture]

I was too young to enjoy the "grown" up festivities however I was exposed to the era via it's music and what a wonderful time it was....blacks and whites partying good together without a care in the world! It is a beautiful thing, a beautiful thing.......

[ParadiseBlue369]

[johnmail96]

TRAMP, in London is where this sequence was shot, in the film, the venue is refered to as "HOBO", an amercan word for Tramp/vagrant- i think at one time OSCAR LERMAN , was a LICENSEE/PARTNER, at TRAMP, whose main DIRECTOR, was JOHNNY GOLD, who took the club over in 1969- it was prevoiusly known as "the SOCIETY" - Mick Jaggers brother was in the film- OSCAR LERMAN was maried to JACKIE COLLINS(Joans sister)- think LERMAN was also FILM PRODUCER-

[joejacksun]

YES!!! The original Empire State Of Mind!! :)

[sactiger]

Wow, this brings back memories! I first started clubbing during the disco era. Partying every night of the week, sexing it up all the time... damn, I miss those days! LOL!!

[illphilwolny]

Bless the Native New Yorkers, delving deeper into the Mystery

[emforce]

[sgsfguy]

[coolperson154]

great song

[tdirtyatl]

My man is a PLAYA! ;-)

[Wellveryinteresting]

This part of the 1978 film "The Stud" is considered an incidental part of the film. Meaning, it doesn't really move storyline along. It's to show that "The Stud" that was the reference to both the novel & the film, as played by Oliver Tobias had a more rounded life with lots of friends (mostly the men and women who were in a similiar or same profession -- supposedly the world's oldest) than just having the life catering to the sexual needs or wants of older women.

[waitEveryday]

Me and my David, at the disco, in Manhattan, doing the hustle to this song. Sigh.

[dayg715]

Nah This Dude Look Like Dule Hill.

[Wellveryinteresting]

Well, it's definitely not Dule Hill since this film is from 1978 and Hill was born May 3, 1975 making him only probably 2 years old at the time this film was being made in 1977 and only 3 years old when it was released in 1978.

[Bossblueangel]

Thoroughly "off the hook", The uncredited

dude floats thru 14-15 partners. He

reminds me of J.J. Walker of "Goodtimes".

Who wants to bet against me -that he

"scored" that night?

[brazi33]

Every time I used to hear this song as a kid in the mid 70's it reminded me of the charlie commercials and the McCalls catalog; I always connected that song with glamourous women.

[USAisAntiWhite]

The African-American version of Saturday Night Fever. LOL.

[NorthLeedsPlayer]

The stud in this film was me!!!

[SamoaOG]

So who was " The Stud" , The brotha with the white girl ?. Lol. Loved this song !

[Wellveryinteresting]

No, it was actually a white guy who was played by actor and director, Oliver Tobias.

"The Stud" was originally a novel written by Jackie Collins. And the novel and film centered on Tobias' character who was living and 'working' (in the Biblical sexual sense of the word -- this was sort of a PG-13 version of the later 1980 Richard Gere film, "American Gigolo" set in New York) in New York City and one of his clients was played by Jackie Collins' sister, Joan Collins.

[chart3]

wow. i thought to myself, that dude's a stud without realizing the name of the movie this clip is from is called The Stud, lol.

[leoo1313]

WHERE WAS THIS VIDEO TAKEN???

[SenorEuphoria]

Youtubes servers in California someplace.

[teemad]

LOL

[PCchongor]

.08-.12

[ibrahimdesign]

Thanks for the tips. Of course, it's a state of mind... and I'm sure that New York may be cool again one day. But can you think of ONE good club in New York today? I struggle think of one truly legendary one on the niveau of the Paradise Garade or the Saint. Put it another way: these days, London and Berlin put New York to shame. And the "Sex and the City" phenomenon is partly to blame.

[GiacomoKnox]

I remember this song was used in a lot of modern dance shows way back when...crazy disco era!

[roccosifridi]

I couldnt believe 'Sex And The City" never used this track. Such a New York show with the most fabulous New York themed song. Just sensational.

[ibrahimdesign]

That stupid series made New York into the lame place it is today--a bunch of hags desperately searching for rich husbands.

[roccosifridi]

haha. Man you sound more jaded than the TV show.

[ibrahimdesign]

nah, not jaded. just smart enough to know when to know that the party was over and to get the hell out. songs like "native new yorker" and disco venues like "paradise garage" "studio 54" and "the saint" are part of a new york that is long since gone.

[roccosifridi]

True, but its a state of mind. Disco is fun & good times of yesterday but being a former house Dj that worked gay & straight clubs & with a massive disco/funk collection the floors never jumped more than when I played a KC, Bobby Thurston, Odyssey etc. p.s. I dj a radio show on KISSFM Melbourne, Australia every Sunday playing 70/80s disco & funk. Its one of the higher rating shows. You should listen some time...

[veysoyillar]

Yep even today in the so called millenium.. play the 70/80's and the floor still jumps....nothing like the funk of those days....with its rythm and beat. i will listen to your show..thnaks....

[sencar23]

They did use this song on Sex and the City one time only. It's on the episode where the sailors come to town, and Carrie has her short hair (when she was preggers in real life).

[roccosifridi]

Actually thats incorrect. I know the episode well. I stated to my wife that when they really should have used "Native New Yorker". They song they play during that episode in "Shining Star" by Earth Wind & Fire. (Also the same song Elaine from Seinfeld does her crazy dance to)

[sencar23]

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree that the song is used during that episode.

[DJamSinclar]

wich the movie please, tell me the name of the movie

[roccosifridi]

The movie is called "The Stud".

[jazzyfayy1983]

i remember thelma dancing to this song on good times and she,s from new york.

[Betiuxss]

this song makes me happy inside!! the power of the good memories and the nostalgia of those wonderful days

[mwenvlay]

my favorite song in the world. great movie, too :)

[Scourgeofthehood]

what the fuck is this about? gratuitously reactionary and staged

[cenwt]

after hours toronto...QUALUDES BIG  SLEEP FROM THE BIG APPLE

[midianholic]

Tremendous song. Loved it first time round.

[DaDarkstar]

this is some real music!

[gillhill92]

They should have gone too oddessy and asked for tony

[pillsburydolly]

My father work with the guy who helped produce this album. However, one of the managers stole the money when the Album was hit. So the group broke up

[wj5mjk]

they make a great dance couple

[OlaDaylax]

This song was like a soundtrack for my first grade year.

[antontango]

WHAT a dancer he was! WOW!

[BearDarrell]

this was one of my favorite songs of early 78. People-- music was so damn good back then- i wish i could go back. At least i own the "american top 40's -Casey Kasem" of each year end countdown from 1970 to 1979 !!

[casomarch]

I want to put dollar bills in his pants...

[waviedavie1967]

Who's the girl at the very start? Was she in Pans People?

[ebenezerhoary]

They're all the girls from Pans People (or Leg's & Co. by then possibily!)

[olblueeyes007]

if you havent seen this gem of a film shame on you

[wizeguy1972]

I didn't know this was in The Stud, what a crap film to be associated with a class tune like this.

[Myrolex]

I was dropped off on East 83rd once

[babaloula]

Great song but naff dancing from TOTP Pan's People.

[discotrader]

as freakthese tales states "what a persfect song"

[ROJ54321]

Great song, love the video!

[duncabbin]

The soundtrack for The Stud, was pure class. I picked it up on vinyl LP for £1 at a market. My favourite is Lets Go Disco by Real Thing.

[EightiesForever]

I got it off ebay for about the same price. Now if I could just get my hands on a bottle of Monsieur le Stud...

[MontanaMarriott]

OH I LOOOOVED THE STUD

It was a novel by Jackie Collins turned movie which starred her sister Joan Collins. This was definitely a tribute to the late Sterling St. Jacque who reigned supreme at 54

[ThomasDeP]

That was funny as hell. Was it suppose to be Sterling St Jaques at Studio 54?

[priestpega]

Never heard of this movie before, but the song is a classic.

[FreaktheseTales]

what a perfect song !

[jfsoller]

I don't remember this movie from the 70s. Saturday Night Fever must have stolen the spotlight. Great music, though!

[iinfiiniitii]

love dis video

[TIBBSY]

I liked most of the music from the stud.
