George McCrae -- Rock Your Baby

[CMHKD]

Gay?



[roosevelthighschool]

I just bet you girls eyes were glued to the TV set with this guy shirtless asnd everything. The 70's were the greatest times for single artists to shine.

[no1elsebutme1]

krakenwave, really good thing.

TheGlorielius100, you've been the best dancer there and the day I was allowed to follow your stepps was so wonderfull. Remember the cool one nowadays collection money on dancefloor. Lol, oh yes, 77pintoboy, this went over him one day (GM told him to return, if I remember right). Nice to read from you!

[TheGlorielius100]

I heard this in 1973 sang by Margareth Singana (South Africa)

[77pintoboy]

Reminds me of washing my brothers car when i had his radio blasting this stuff on K-Tel 8 track lol

[Choppin9946]

sadly i'm born from 90's

[brandx59]

yep most likely hear it on the real don steal show on am radio.

[singnintherain]

Summer between 10th & 11th grade! Started dating the "Hot" new guy at school. This was "our song". Thought it would last forever. Fortunately, so far it has!! Married 33 years-4 kids and happier than we have ever been! Maybe there is something in a song! (or is it an empty nest)?

[PoopTruffles]

I remember waking up to this when the radio alarm went on.

Dat feeling was so nice.

[Jane73202]

Love this song George is so fine

[doubblejj1]

george had help writing this k.c. from kc and the sunshine band helped also, what a great song, oh the memories

[krakenwave]

@doubblejj1

KC and Richard Finch wrote this entirely, KC intending to record it with the Sunshine Band with himself on vocals. It was too high pitched for him to do the way he wanted it to sound, so they were going to give it TK Studio session singer Gwen McCrae - but she was late for the session so her husband George ended up doing the solo instead. George had nothing to do with the writing or arrangement - he just came in and did the vocals as directed.

[PBGSURFER65]

@krakenwave Great background history.You have to tip your hat to the man,he owns it.I couldn't think of anybody else singing this,it's beautiful.

[krakenwave]

@PBGSURFER65

Oh yes, George's vocal was just excellent - chance here worked a total win.

I can just imagine what it must have been like in the TK studio after he'd laid this down. Something like KC saying: "Ya know, I think this one just might be a hit.." (followed by the sound of an enormous line of coke getting hoovered up off the mixing desk).

[denzlepob]

Like!

[PattayaDIRTY]

Why has he got a dead rat on his shoulder?

[JKubel25]

@PattayaDIRTY I think it might be Michael Jackson's other glove.

[steph0001sy]

Hey hey...here I am again listening to that song which came out when i was 9...I like Rammstein also so imagine...Isn't good music magic? No need for more proof....

[summerfly93]

[scm8487]

[plumprandy]

If that song came out today it would of went like " yo bitch take me in your arms an shit"

[bgbndgg]

@plumprandy lmao! sad but true

[hotstuffandicecream]

Do you remember this one sounding good on AM radio riding around on hot summer nights with that 50 cents a gallon gas?

[yanka65]

@hotstuffandicecream YES! was just thinking of sweet memories of that!

[steph0001sy]

@hotstuffandicecream Except for the price of gas...I went to Kingston Jamaica in 1998 and 2000 and that song was still playing like a hit...was so cool....under the heat....

[billeybop]

@hotstuffandicecream  DO I ever! hahaha

[Sirthomo]

@hotstuffandicecream Yes. Great memories :)

[CrackHoe32]

@hotstuffandicecream Yes !!! Summer at the beach with great friends listening to this !!!

[roosevelthighschool]

@hotstuffandicecream Yes I so do remember those days even though I was born in 1985.

[diegoferd93]

i cant stand the thing that sounds like "sexy" that he says at 0:09

[ordalisea]

No es que me apasione este éxito, pero era el top 1 en USA la semana en que nací.

[MrLayuphall]

[MrVolfan1980]

Such a simple song that sounds so great!

[Sonoinviaggioify]

Uhhh come la si ballava bene

e ascoltarla ancora adesso .... uhh

[Herbalskankin]

These were the times when black people were fuckin cool, making classic ass tunes like this...nowadays all the music you see coming from the black community just reeks of ignorance and garbage...it fuckin blows if you ask me...

[depatman]

@Herbalskankin Bull shit ! just because they are not supported by the music industry does not mean black/white or whatever changed for the worse. Just stop listen to your top40 music start to go to jazz festivals. And people like him are still on the stage so support them and stop complaining. So it's not them changing it's the whole world.

The big labels like to promote stupid people, that does not mean there are still talented people.You make it sound like "black" people changed

[takfam07]

@Herbalskankin You speak truth. Those are my thoughts exactly.

[MrDjBalboa]

this is 1 of the songs that i learn dancing from minee first love i love forever

[wincanton2]

Music from the 60s & 70s was just so good..........where did it all go wrong.......

[ChaZabalou]

[ChaZabalou]

I was in 1985 but i love this song to death. The United States was so good to be.

[aychingao]

I like this classical piece. No offense, but I always thought he was a woman singing this song.

[Elisabeth1903]

@aychingao This song was meant for his wife Gwen but she got ill so he sang it.

[darrellmoser]

I absolutely loved this song when it came out in the 70's.

[ro7477]

I miss my mom and dad when i listen to this. I remember endless evening when they would have a party and they would play this tune and tunes like this. Times flies by I guess but this song reminds me when I was like..umm 10-12 years old. Love you mom/dad..

[Bigwannas]

@ro7477 I have the same memories, what a trip down memory lane, I miss my parents so much lately, and this song makes me sad yet I love to hear it as it brings me back to that wonderful era of my early teens. Love you mom/dad..

[qlsanders]

@ro7477 like your comment.

[shahruba]

Dancing my heart out in P'town, werent we all....Cafe Blase...and so many friends..this song was among the greatest 'early disco'.

[MrKaktusBoy]

[cleo611031]

Groooooooooooooovy :-)

[nowhereman841]

Here's a bit of trivia, straight out of the storytelling of Casey Kasem...This song was originally intended for his first wife Gwen to record, but for whatever reason, she couldn't make it to the studio in time...she later recorded "Rocking Chair."

[SleepLifeDeath]

Detroit Rock City!! hahah

[poppedcultureuk]

Secksy..... bet the watch would do well with this as an advert!

Loved this track since it came out.. still a huge track today for going out

[Madirose1117]

This is how music should be!

Dude............ whats up with our world..... and all that stupid rap. :(

[Madirose1117]

Rock me baby!!!!!

[syko2040]

[lomecter]

[Sublimation99]

[arztwunder]

Erinnerung.......Ich 13 Jahre....zum ersten Mal in einer Diskothek....hab den ganzen Abend getanzt......in Sögel in einer Ami-Disko....mit Hermann??????? Einem Farbigen irgendwo aus den USA.....

[windchaser12]

How I so miss listening to great songs like this. Brings back memories.

[jonequest82]

Gives me chill bumps to this day...one good song!

[inapoi]

sadly Black " music" of today is Hip - Hop :(

[badbatch78]

@inapoi Not in my heart, champ. Disco forever...

[inapoi]

@badbatch78 agree ! Hip - Hop sucks anyway . yo motherf**** --absolutely ridiculous !

[thevoid99]

@inapoi and not even good hip-hop these days.

[inapoi]

@thevoid99 I dont like HIP-HOP at all , ok BLumio is cool and Snoop ^^

[TiagoWakabayashi1]

@inapoi i know what you feel, here is the current carioca funk

[inapoi]

one of the most sensual songs ever ...



[emt1605]

As a white county boy I say...BRAVO.....

[traceymallard]

i definetly say disco music had a profound effect on me! i was going through puberty when this song came out! and all i could think about was boys! and falling in love, in 1977 thats we teenagers thought about and this song brings back incredible memories and all of them good..thanks for posting this...

[VikutaaChyaaruzu]

@BLUEGRASSJAMMIN

and I bet Bounce TV will air the episode with this performance -- that is, if they haven't already. :D

[cwfcares]

this is classic

[plentyguinness]

i remember this from 74, an all time classic, well done George.

[serentonin]

SAXXAYYY

[KriegBoy]

Smile maker! :)

[tavistocktv]

I remember this, Bournemouth UK 14 years old and playing this from my room with the window wide open... in case I could attract a girlfriend who would think I was so cool playing this!

This has been on and off my music systems for years... A TRUE CLASSIC

[rebsho]

@tavistocktv Thats something I would do and did when I learned to play guitar!Youre lucky to have experienced the generation mines all adhd and hip hop haha youre comment made my day

[atalaya1980]

Gwenn MacCrae... "Rockin' Chair"  REMEMBER ??????

[Xbox360FanSite]

classic 70's song EPIC I sing this for my girlfriend lol Great dancing song when you have had weed ow yea :)

[laurenprescott19]

Awesome '70s song! It's really calming:)

[roosevelthighschool]

I sort of remember 1974. Even though I was born in 1985 the 70's was an OK decade for TV. You had shows like The Waltons, MASH, Laverne & Shirley, etc. So you also had music like The Bee Gees, George McCrae, Tom Jones, Freda Payne, KC & The Sunshine Band, The Eagles well you catch my drift.

[kingofkingz1979]

no one can make music like this anymore.....you'd think it would be easy to play nowadayz but no....the sound, tune, bass, vocal, rhythm is sacred and locked secretly for the 70s.....golden era of music.

[TheGabbydeb]

Summer 1974, riding around in the car with this on the radio!... great memories

[barneyfifesbullet]

"Don't worry," said the manager, misinterpreting the source of Dannen's concern. "It's a rental car."

[pkristi2]

@barneyfifesbullet Great story, thanks!! I can so vividly imagine the scene you describe, the suits, the hair-dos, the language. Poor George and all the other wonderful, talented musicians that know nothing about business

[barneyfifesbullet]

He complained that he was number one across the world with "Rock Your Baby" and yet he had no money to show for it. "Stop whingeing," his boss said to him. "See that Cadillac out in the parking lot? Here's the keys, it's yours and I don't want to hear another word about money from you." As McCrae took the keys and headed towards the car, Dannen expressed outrage that a star could be treated in that way.

[barneyfifesbullet]

But few of the rip-offs and litigation tales, the posthumous scraps and legal shenanigans, can match the case related by Frederick Dannen in his book Hit Men. It referred to George McCrae, a soul singer who few could blame if he had sought legal advice. Dannen was interviewing McCrae's record company boss on another matter when the singer himself burst into the office.

[waveblast2]

Get down boogie oogie oogie,by Taste of Honey is a Disco song.Listen to the faster pace drum,cymbal,and bass.

[dickmausa]

Many a night dancing to this at the A-House P'town.....LOVE DISCO

[TDSouledOut1]

I have an American import LP gathering dust in my loft which features a 10 minute version of this absolute classic. Nobody held a note like George McCrea in the 1970s. Just love it.

[steve53london]

big party record , had some great parties in the 70's best era for me

[troyboy7962]

cool jam

[paulharrod]

just FYI .,..this is also....the BIGGEST selling single of the 1970's ..over 6 million copies..and it is a great song

[waltery22]

Dude! Its Richard Pryor!

[jiggawoo]

looks like they are having an electrical disturbance in the background

[bloodyredvinal]

From a far different moment! I miss the groove!

[MrSunlazer]

Loved it then. Love it now. Living in the past is my future!

[MrShilma]

@MrSunlazer saudades desse tempo muito xouuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[dnimal01]

@Mone smooth brother tightrSunlazer

[TomFredSTUDIOS]

Born in the 90s and I love it! :)

[badboybaldy1]

IF YOU ARE NOT FROM THE 70'S YOU WILL NEVER GET IT LOL BEAUTIFUL

[WMiwok]

@badboybaldy1 I am not from the 70's I am a late 80's baby but oh I do get it and love it......wish I was from the 70's

[mrob75]

I remember 1974...What a kick ass year for music! This song (and others) were all over the A.M. radio dials! Do you remember that little car speaker under the front dashboard? Ha! We would turn up the car radio so loud listening to stuff like this that the speaker would sound so terribly distorted! And after a while the speaker would rot out and vibrate something awful...But we didn't care...Life was so good in '74!

[Sublimation99]

@mrob75 It sure was! It 'm from the 80"s, too bad!

[Sublimation99]

@Sublimation99 i'm

[harmonicabill]

@mrob75 good times stay cool

[1962hvd]

@mrob75 Yeah thats great, greetings from Austria!!

[skreme70]

[adderjonno]

@mrob75 So true, so dam true. Classic times



[1OneSmiler]

@mrob75 those were the days man....
