[djsavageblend]

In the days of 'Straching Guitars'.

[gridban]

Where is this longer version from? I bought a second-hand 12" but it only has the shorter version, this is the best one!

[romeocologne]

I STILL pack the dance floor with this one!

[sjr10011]

Turn it up!!!

[fullshades]

Do believe this is the one of the best disco songs ever. period!

[pixiestix6669]

[lennymac100]

bohannon make it funky!!!!! ya heard

[leondisio]

Love it. I remember it like it was yesterday. I used to think D Train's "You're the One for Me" was the first house song. "I Feel Love" from Donna Summer was the first bona fide techno record, but I think this was the first House Music record ever. Give him the honorary Grammy!!! Kudos to Bohannon.

[foempe007]

Fucking far out, if ya feet dont move to this tune then you must be passed on man, i mean, you just check the last 15 seconds man. Awesome.!!! Know what i mean? What a classic film, you check out the end credits.

[ThePeachyplum]

Definitely the best name for this song.

[kcred3]

This record was one of the songs where everybody danced,whether you could or not.And for those who could you jammed your a-- off. The clubs loved this!

[fulansujin]

I had never heard the last two minutes...

Crazy fucking mix ^__^

[domo523]

[Bijan630]

You could never leave the floor as long as this was playing!

[jude2005386]

Back inthe 80's I came across this by chance on a funk compilation tape. Yes, it is essential to say the least..love it!

[MADAMECOURVOISIER]

the song that made you shift into overdrive!

[eastlachicano]

D.J. Michael Angelo at GINO'S in Hollywood, Calfornia. Great times.

[elzizzo]

@eastlachicano

[debdewane]

One of my favorite all time dance songs!!!!

[bandersonclegg]

DJ Skip...Club Papillion Detroit...need I say more?? WOOOOOOOO!!

[MyJaySeven]

I remember when this was my Friday song in NYC.

[johnlang69]

still got the twelve inch on vinyl classic man

[LoleattaGirl]

I never get tired of this song.. it endures and sounds as good as the first time every time.. Groove and then some..

[dpeterk]

They did this RIGHT!

[PaulRiddleJr]

I agree, this was the jam back in the day and still is great

[aftereight01]

The bass is cranking!

[keitmon]

Philadelphians my age will remember the legendary DJ, Dr. Perry Johnson and the remix that he did of this jam. Is that on Youtube? It is a local classic that is still aired on radio here.

[VirgilB01]

@keitmon - I remember it very well, you can find the remix on dustyboxf45s-rastamazza. And they still play that jam at clubs all over all these years.

[TheBigShel]

@keitmon Damm Perry Johnson! Grew up in Willingboro NJ listened to DAS 24/7 and power 99 back in the day. This brings back memories. The Nu-Tec , Kim Graves, The Impulse and the Library on City line Ave. .......Yes Sirrrrrrr!

[semaj877]

In the beginning Hamilton sings come on and do it! Clearly a female is singing I been watching you all night , don't u wanna dance etc. Carolyn Crawford (Caroline) is listed as the female doing the vocals. I have'nt heard a different version of this song!

[semaj877]

Im referring to the lady Caroline aka Carolyn Crawford. She is listed in wikipedia as the singer that is doing vocals on this track, as well as the vocals on Lets start the Dance II

[semaj877]

This is Hott and the lady singing is singin da hell out of it! A Bohannon classic!!

[aetm]

OMG....OMG....OMG....THE LAST TIME I HEARD THIS WAS ATLANTA'S 1ST PRIDE....I LOST MY MIND...I WAS ALL OVER THE DANCE FLOOR...PEOPLE THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY....lol...WHEN THIS 1ST CAME OUT I WAS TOO YOUNG TO GO TO THE CLUBS AND DANCE TO THIS..THEN THEY STOPPED PLAYING IT....THE KIDS NOWADAYS KNOW NOTHIN ABOUT THIS TYPE OF "REAL" MUSIC!!!

[PhuckHue2]

still a wicked groove! ricky rouse killed this on guitar. still haven't heard a better rhythm guitar performance. he should have got a Grammy

[donthompson10166]

yeah and a grandad too!

[doozerace]

Hey Phuck, who the cat playing bass on this sumbitch? Straight killin' it. Enlighten me, family.

[PhuckHue2]

@doozerace Ted "Sticky Fingers" Waterhouse Jr. He killed that shit too!

[doozerace]

@PhuckHue2 . Good lookin out, family. One love - peace.

[aftereight01]

@PhuckHue2 I agree. The guitar rhythmic solos build major excitement throughout the song making the drops to the bass even hotter. The guitar riffs at the end are so awesome, when they add the percussion to it, oh well, it's on!

[sharkweak]

i love international humanity.

[DivaoftheHearth]

This song still gives me the chills everytime I hear it. It was THEE best song to get down on the floor with and just jam your ass off to when it first came out and it still has that lasting factor all these years later....THANK YOU MR BOHANNON FOR YOUR BRILLIANCE.

[4everdisco]

This song deserves to have about 10000 watts of bass,great club & cruising song,

[flowwwa]

All time classic.... love this tune !! :D Top Rank,Southampton.... those were the days !! :D

[phatkaw]

throw this classic on in any joint today and watch the crowd lose their damn minds.

[MusicLikeRegin]

Yep, even today--I concur!!!

[bluetoothheffa]

thanx for posting this! It will always be the jam like "love is the message"!

[davidmanby]

This is where its at, original disco stylee

[leogeee]

This is right up there with "Do Ya Wanna Funk"--Sylvester. (Best time of my life.)

"Hey you--I'm talking to you" makes a great ring tone if you can record from your phone.

[cuddy62dj]

wooooow.....

[ladyj2184]

i have this record lol! this is my jam!
