Who said 1977 was a bad year for music? Between the Isley Brothers, The Brothers Johnson, Ohio Players and Marvin....what more could you ask for? We miss you Marvin.

[pinkyleelin]

[dj7661]

[NubianPrince1965]

Marvin's Party Starter..guaranteed to get the people dancing

[7890loveable]

Lol those 3 people dont no how to get down i play this song last year at my aunt christmas party it make drunks and non drunks dance lol.

[tamcon72]

3 dislikes!!! Heh???

[BBQFanNo1]

The Spring into the Summer of 1977 started so very good promising in Music to making it the best year not heard from or seen since after the 1960s until Elvis Presley died in August. That damn ruined it from what could have been a lot better year ending. The World Series Championship was the only thing good in the later half of 1977.

[damfst23]

@BBQFanNo1 I agreed with everything you said until until you mentioned the World series in 1977,L.A. Dodgers fan with painful memories of the Jaxhammers long balls.lol

[ti54vw32]

the last seven to nine years of his life were plagued by drug addiction and paranoia he also endured public scrutiny by berry gordy because he hadn't had a hit since 1973 and this was his biggest U.S. late 70s hit

[ezrafrancisclark]

i like this



[9Esnuzan5]

It's just so easy to get a girl to dance with you when this song is playing.....

[Janballincuban]

What's that old song that sounds like this one, but goes like, partyyy onnn, da na na na na na, party onnnnn, etc etc

[SzokkozS]

[CitySkin09]

That's a hot record. Beat is just bangin'.

[lacquercandy]

How could there be a "not like "button for this? You owe your life to Marvin Gaye!

[lionheart936]

If u dont love this song..check your pulse son..you might be dead

[Nacorple]

@lionheart936 I was born in the 80's and I even recognize his greatness!

[LuckyBreak89]

It's impossible to not want to get up and dance when this song comes on! <3

[TallPoe]

[TallPoe]

Buddy Love, you know you are very naughty to proffessor Klump, and I know which one I would like to spend time with. But I love this track.

[Watchmedoaflip1]

THE OFFCIAL SOUL TRAIN THEME SONG FOR FAMILY REUNIONS, PARTIES, AND ETC!!!

[TallPoe]

3% annual growth is not sustainable on this planet. We have to face reality. May mean going hungry but law and order has to keep the beast at bay in an equal society. Never know what's round the next corner in this universe.

[TallPoe]

Give up money and one upmanship now or nwo will continue being a whirligig out of control. Love this track, thanks for posting xxxx

[therealcarlynicole]

When I was little me and my friends did a jazz dance class and we always danced to this song! so much fun! such great memories!

[mayraa1995]

The most exciting song, you can have realy good sex with this song

[Cocoabeing]

OMG... when I was 17, it was a VERY good year, 1977. We partied our asses

off to the 12 inch long version of this cut!! No wall flowers when this jam was playing at the party,

[Cocoabeing]

@Cocoabeing We would come off the floor drenched in sweat! Looking for the spiked punch! The good old days!!

[ridetotheground]

classic line ............"look at me baby, I look so good, gotta give it up."

[LILSONIC88]

[magicmark1292]

1 dislike really? Man that person must not like music!

[pamiety]

@magicmark1292 It probably was a mistake.

[magicmark1292]

@pamiety But if it was they could like it and remove the dislike.

[zahkuz61]

Dance to this song everyday and you will never have a weight problem........

[trtwnsnd]

[persebra]

i didnt realize until i heard this classic again how much marvin gaye influence micheal jackson's perfomances on songs like "dont stop til you get enough"

[Ihatedayslikethis1]

[Queenbee2001]

WOW, Everybody has Part 1, but I had the 45 and Part 2 was on the back, so we would turn it over at the party and keep it going....Nobody wanted to stop dancing when this was on, so go to the fridge, get a coke, and dance back into the room...I forgot that memory...Go Marvin, Go Marvin...Party was ON...Thanks for this Post...!

[TheAntonio530]

[Anime5666]

Gonna have a cook out tomorrow . Song to play .

[Jj0nnn]

Thanks uploader, great quality sound, best song ever, and brilliant information in the description. Thanks again.

[solaidback21]

Never have been more in support of state sponsored execution than I'm am now with this one person that has the nerve to dislikes this song. Obviously a soul terrorist.

[lowgrau]

knock off the flashing graphics

[shakeabadadown]

"Let's Dance Let's Shout Gettin Funky What It's All About" part on Part II seems to have been inspiration for Shake Your Body Down To The Ground by The Jacksons

[Musegal111]

Finally! The full version of this funky, groovy, got-to-get-up-and-dance song. I had so much fun in the summer of 1977 in Tallulah, LA; this was the main song played in all the little juke joints down there. I lost about 30 pounds that summer, 'cause I could dance to the whole song since I was 22 at the time. But hey, I can still groove at age 56, just have to take it a little slower. Thank you djloveoldschool for the post!

[ahtnap]

This Song Represents Family, Reunions, Summer BBQ's, Past Interactions With Family No Longer Here. Watching The Grown Folks That Was Just Sitting On They But Suddenly Get Up! Lol!

[ANGELCHICA06]

The best song that Marvin made......EVER!!! Play this at a party, the dance floor gets crowded!! R.I.P Marvin

[dailygrime1]

@ANGELCHICA06 question is... how do you follow up after this song

[mrsmjackson1]

His dad sure robbed us of a great man.

[shaishay7577]

Boy, this song bring back memories of when I was little and my parents put this on. It was a party for sure. Parties and music isn't good like this anymore. Blast from the past.

[rickytaylor18]

only classic music can have u dancin for (11:50)

[LeeAnn20008]

Its a sin to not listen to this version.

[pbrucpaul]

That saxophone gets down. This is one of Marvin Gayes best numbers.

[afiggiani1558]

EVERYBODY ON THE DANCE FLOOR!!!!

WOW!!!

This song reminds me of some good times out on the dance floor.

Everybody I mean everybody use to be on the dance floor to this song.

♫ Anthony Figgiani ♫ ♫

...

[teesteven]

i remember being a 12 yr old when marvin gaye was killed on this day april 1st 1984 and it was just like a family member had been lost the sadness in my parents face!

[andrews93i]

thank you



[TheBaski100]

This is a true work of art. Brings back great memories!

[JayGOS117]

I once heard a beat more bad assed than this...

no...no i didn't.

i was dreaming...

[Smoovbros1]

There will never be another MARVIN!!!

[BBQFanNo1]

Yeah!!!!Yeah!!!Yeah!!! Get Down Marvin!!!!

[Speaklife]

Memories...we did the bump, the double bump, the electrifying bump the entire song. Love this song

[jankydeuces]

I was 6yrs old when this song came out,and i'm still groovin to it to this day

[Zyntax7]

@jankydeuces Me too!!! LOL This will always be my favorite song!

[jankydeuces]

@Zyntax7 why cant music be like this anymore

[BBQFanNo1]

The Coolest Song of 1977.

[BBQFanNo1]

This song goes back again to the upbeat song recording period of Marvin Gaye in 1963 and 1964. Releases like these dance songs by him on the radio have not been around prior to 1977 here with this song release since 1965 with his 1964 recordings.

[BBQFanNo1]

The best version of this song. The nearly 12 minutes of inspirational soul fusion.

[niktemadur]

IMPOSSIBLE to stay still while this is playing, ain't it true?

[BBQFanNo1]

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!!!

[BIGMAMA57ful]

no matter how old this song gets it still makes me want to get up and dance, marvin gaye was a wonderful singer Bigmama in Alabama

[dvgvintage]

@BIGMAMA57ful

I just did and I think I scared my cat, LOL!!!!!!!!!! Love this song . . . met my ex, but still love it!

[soulbrotherlegendary]

Happy 102nd B-Earth Day Grandma Noni!! I love you !! 11/10/2010 Your favorite Song!

[ezywonder]

Wherever you were, whomever you were with, this record hit the turntable and it was ON !  INSTANT GOOD TIME

[BhaktaAllisonTucker]

@ezywonder I was Monroe Elementary School: 6th Grade.

[rnantista]

@ezywonder That’s the truth!! A lot of people sweated their hair out and clothes off this song in a many of club back in the day. You didn't need a gym you just put this song on and you would lose 10 lbs.
