Thelma Houston-Dont Leave me this way

[ace51515]

a most underated voice up there with aretha

[Ukrvillage]

A very popular disco hit in the Spring of 1977

[dutico]

Love this song!!! Makes me want to go to the dance club. :D

[Cynbad1957]

FANTASTICO.........THANK YOU!!

[1952tommie]

cool in platform shoes and all the birds you could want

[loboismael21]

I have heard this song everyday for an entire week and still love it as much as the 1st time

[gerardoporfirio]

@loboismael21 You are not the only one...Regards

[loboismael21]

God I love this song, she wants him so bad she cant bare to live without him

.

[hotstuffandicecream]

The platform shoes hurt my feet now - The double knit slacks want fit anymore - The long hair down on my shoulders barely covers the top of my head now - My Camaro is long gone - The 50 cents a gallon gas is now $3.50 - Oh 70's why did you leave me this way?

[70sman4ever]

@hotstuffandicecream Well never fear! I wear the platforms, the double knit polyester suit with bellbottoms, and I still drive a 7 nova. The 70s NEVER left me I am bringing them back and shoving it into the face of this fucking system we have now! Dig THAT!!

[johnnyfry2]

Some cool disco right here. How can you not want to dance?

[MissLennyLaura]

2:25 cracking out the shloer. It's gonna be a wiiilldd night.

DISCO NEVER DIE

[strat55359]

Sexiest song of all time.  Disco or whatever, doesn't matter.

[strat55359]

[mryorky100]

We had the best era. WOW this was the biggest

[moloch7]

hey le début me fait penser a :

" KDD résurection" french musique (remix)

[TheShyguy2010]

disco yaaaaaaaaaa

[tasterschoice]

I suddenly feel like watching 54

[tommott77]

Best bass line ever.

[desmondmcferran]

@tommott77 To Tommtt77 You want to listen to the Staple singers Let's do it again for a great bass line. cheers..

[MrUnc82alum]

@tommott77

I also like the bass line in Burn Rubber on Me by Gap Band:)

[teresaslo2]

there will never be a time like that again...the stars were aligned, joy and happiness prevailed with optimism. I recently saw a picture of Thelma Houston and she looks just as young as she did 30 years ago!

[nemoism]

@dirkadirka217 <<This is what happened, disrespect and ignorance has taken over.

[duduric]

What has happened to those days / nites of global happiness that disco music brought to us all ? What has happened to all those happy carefree people we used to see dancing to the music in the streets ? Bring back disco music and bring back some form of happiness to us and to the younger ones now. Why should they miss out ?

[psadpoiafsdf]

@duduric AIDS

[duduric]

OMG ! Do people like you still exist ? How sad !

[psadpoiafsdf]

@duduric Sad. After the pill and before AIDS people were "carefree". Now, carefree leads to death.

[imhissensualbeauty]

this makes me want to skate!

[42bettyb]

best disco song EVAH....

[TakeActionFool]

Best bass line ever!

[SweetUniverse]

this song reminds me of high school pretty much like no other - cheerleaders talking about older guys trying to give em coke, otherwise it was just weed and beer if you were lucky, otherwise you were home by curfew, dead sober :))

[1TICKHAND]

DONT YOU UNDERSTAND QUEEN OF DISCO FUNK

[vfan1]

One of the Top Ten dance tracks of all time!!!!!!!!!

[jene4loveu]

Love to listening this song in the radio and asked to my mom if I can go with my older sisters to disco and she said nooo way!!!! So when I have age for it I danced like crazy.Lol :)

[queensizdiva]

Thank you I have had this song stuck in my head for the past 3 days!!!!!!!

[XiMeNiTaVeTeRa]

I Love this Song!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[richierichnumber1]

I was a kid but remember this one it was hot in the disco bars and radio stations.

[psadpoiafsdf]

this song satisfies the need in me and keeps me wanting more.

[DaveWollenberg]

Thelma hit #1 in Billboard, 4-23-77. God bless ya, bassico, for postin' it. Thanx!

[tubefluid]

18 people got left that way.

[nazreyes]

this is simply one of the GREATEST disco songs of all-time. I've heard it about a MILLION times and I'm still not sick of it LOL

[brainsareus]

yeah, it's a great little ditty, no doubt,but let's be honest, it is a flash in the pan number. it's a nice little rush build up in the beggining,that just gets stuck in a circle, and goes nowhere. want to move to it,but, no one grooves on a tune like this anymore, without looking goofy retro go-go girl/guy. our collective dance DNA, is, at this time, just too used, to big phat-slow hip-hop influenced beats.

[d1malcriao]

tHATS WHITNEY'S MOM ISNT IT?

[d1malcriao]

@d1malcriao nO cISSY hOUSTON IS, dIONNE WARWICK IS WHITNEYS COUSIN

[anygoodatdancin]

[ostrichjerky23ok]

I heard a dj spin this saturday night and it has been in my head since!

[raypearse84]

@ostrichjerky23ok can you remember what DJ it was ???????

[xcraziemixx1989]

i love this song i am 21 and the youth of my age is really missing out

[thadxxx]

The intro of this song is just incredible... i literally get high off it.

[IfIWereArtemis]

Robyn needs to cover this song, she would kill it :) not that I don't love Thelma!

[ryanLeKing]

[RisingOfThePhoenixx]

[imhissensualbeauty]

@RisingOfThePhoenixx no point.

[58zc]

You couldn't keep my happy ass off the dance floor. Boy, what great fun. Those were the (happy) days!

[tlynch1218]

@58zc me too. if i wasn't working in a disco, i was dancing in one. a time never to be repeated.

[hedablinka]

What a time to be in high school? Dahlinks, you are such idiots. It was so much more fun to be young and gay... and AFTER high school.

[randall126joh]

[sixunderground1]

The bassline is just awesome.

[Oldiesbuff925]

No doubt a huge disco classic.....OMG the memories....with so much to look forward to...only to have many regrets...love to start over, with the days of Classic Disco, and forward.....when this came out, was going to the teenaged discos and danced my butt off....if I recall this is actually the 2nd most popular disco recording ( VH1;s top 100 )...

[MrLandouer]

[47yesican]

"looking for mr. goodbar"

[paisleyization]

This music got people dancing in public and that's it's greatest contribution to us all. I love this song and haven't heard it in years.

[paragshah2112]

this is what a quality bass line can do for a song

[93Chloe93]

Putain , sa doit être bien de vivre dans les années 70's , danser dans les boites en disco ! sur des chanson qui font bouger !

[SexayButt]

this song makes me wish i woulda been born then clubbing it up in studio 54

[zillinalovedance]

atill great after all these years, the really good ones are. thanks for putting it out there.

[AllycatLeo]

No kidding! 1976. Great year with great High School parties in my country. This song was in a LP, "New York City Discoteque 2". Best disco album ever!

[hotstuffandicecream]

WOW 1970's..... what a time to be in high school. Friday night football and dances in the gym. ( If I could still walk after getting beat to death on the field) The greatest music era ever. One minute we were dancing to Don't Leave Me This Way, next it would be Summer Breeze, then You Sexy Thing, then It's Ladies Night, then Boogie Nights, then Sharp Dressed Man............and we were all just loving life and having fun. LET'S GO BACK, ANYBODY WITH ME?

[gravelandgrain100]

@hotstuffandicecream-

I'd love to go back and dance at my high school reunion to this song in front of all the meth-adddicted wife beating child abusing drunk fukks who told me I would be nothing-sucking face with my man. Laughing til the day I freaking die!!!

I survived, and will dance and laugh and love forever!!!!!!!!!!!!

@hotstuffandicecream

I'm with you,i remember it well, as long as we can leave the grey hair and wrinkles behind ! what time will the bus be along? it's such a shame the world isn't like it was then.

[MichiieJackson]

@hotstuffandicecream I wanna go there. :c

[EyerishEyesQQ]

I had a brief career as a cocktail waitress in my twenties. The 'uniform' was a long brown slinky dress with a slit cut up to my hip. I felt very uncomfortable showing so much leg, but the tips were great. Every shift I used to ask the DJ to play this song. He always appeared to be annoyed but maybe he was just trying to look 'cool'. On my last day there, he obviously saw me come in and played it without my asking. I thought that was sweet. Thanks for posting this and bringing back the memory!

[Valkyrie7366]

Oh, you guys...stop bickering and f...ing DANCE!!!

[gravelandgrain100]

@Valkyrie7366 -

right on, the day I quit singing and dancing they better be lowering me in my eartly bed. Because the music never dies-it is forever in our soul.

Dance today, tonight, til the end of time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[happycritic]

[DaveS12382]

I am the nigger playing bass in this song.

[HotRodExtreme20]

@DaveS12382 i hope u mean that in a good way . . . no racism

[akscorpion22]

@DaveS12382 way to play Afro American fellow ( sorry....iam white and Iam forbidden to use the N word)

[DaveS12382]

@akscorpion22 so am I and I use it all the time. Forbidden by who? politically correct pussies with white guilt? we actually only pretend white guilt exists after all don't we? Its bullshit. Say whatever you want.

[akscorpion22]

@DaveS12382 Obama sent Rev. Jackson and Sharpton to my house to convert me or put a bullet between my eyes

[boltonox]

@DaveS12382 Nigga, your FUNKIN bass is BAD ASS!

[pinktaco646]

@DaveS12382 you cant use another word?

[nintruendo]

@DaveS12382 Nigger please, you wish you was him. That nigga's WAY too funky for you.

[69erthx1138]

The phrasing of the bass octaves is a tab different on this one than her live performances.

[stack4321]

i love this song i listen to it everyday its always in my head especially when im driving the school bus

[evculli]

such a nice bass line, great tune

[01sacapuntas]

Sounds like something Art Bell would play as bumper music.

[2008ADEILTON]

CANÇÃO MARAVILHOSA!!!

Linda voz!!!

[leovalquaresma]

Velhos foram os tempos em que dancei nas discotecas esta musica e que saudades de poder dar mais uns pézinhos de dança que maravilha de tempos que saudades

[man2manva]

Without a doubt, this will go down as perhaps the best disco song ever. Many, many good memories -- and, OMG, the extended disco version will knock you cold. Thank God I still have it on vinyl. ;)

[MarilynMansonFOREVA1]

Definitely love this song. She has a wonderful voice. ^^

[razzledazzle200]

Ah, bring back those sweet, sweet memories. Wasn't it good?: dancing to that unbelievable beat until 6 in the morning, just once in your lifetiime? Those were the good 'ole days.

[Rebekah7713]

so sexy :)

[DaveS12382]

I wanna get all "coked up" to this.

[stjohn0303]

Oh, God......this voice, this wonderful disco song

[ilvadel]

26 August 2010 this shows up blank here (central California)

[psadpoiafsdf]

@ilvadel I did not realize today is the 26th! Thank you so much!

[Dolphin1976]

So Studio 54!! Love it!! :D

[MohomadTheMuslim]

Best Bassline Ever.

[DaveS12382]

@MohomadTheMuslim debatable but I tend to agree my friend.

[DaveS12382]

@MohomadTheMuslim what about "Come Together" by the Beatles? or "Have a cigar" by Pink Floyd?

[Kirby4life0]

@DaveS12382 Different genres really, something comparative would be something like Chic's "Everybody Dance" which is all sorts of complex.

[DaveS12382]

@Kirby4life0 I understand , I'm talking strictly basslines though despite genres. ok then "Another Brick in the wall"pt.2 has a diso beat to it. thats a bad ass bass line.

[DaveS12382]

@Kirby4life0 I cracked the code. Greatest bassline of all time=Under Pressure by Bowie/Mercury

[toofskis]

This song was used nicely in the movie "Looking For Mr. Goodbar"

[inedit3]

Le meilleur du disco ...

[RedSkies82]

There's my bar at 1:15... I wish I could have been a part of this era. I was a child of the 80's and I missed so much love. I guess I'm just a San Francisco hippy at heart

[richierichnumber1]

I remember the end of the disco days I was there...I just a you teen but I remember it all.. It was a time in history when gay and straight people danced together and a lot fun dancing and partying lol

[UARE2QT2BSTR8]

The best disco song of all time... It had style, lyrics, and the beat.

[dennilfloss]

@UARE2QT2BSTR8 Totally agree. The absolute best! :)

[sfgoodfella]

@UARE2QT2BSTR8 for sure man, if this song does not pump you up ... you must be comatose

[kptrojans]

I've said it once and I'll keep saying it... this song was way a held of it's time. And just like a bottle of very fine wine, it's keeps getting better and better and better.

[BrownCow1919]

CLASSIC!

[elbayames41]

great song thanks bassico12
