[patrickwayne]

Saturday Night Live, Aint No Jive!!

[olistar21]

What is this song about ???

[kelsud]

The best song at Studio54, in BCN..........at the 80´s.

La que mes tralla em va donar en el seu moment, el wapo d´Studio54, collons......Baixava "l´ovni", amb l´esclat de só i l´espectacle amb globus, confettis i tiretes de color daurat................

[jody808]

oh wow! i remember this, it got a lot of radio play in '81 i believe

[TheMaralgo]

Que buen tema, inolvidable, yo era un dj en un boliche en esa època y este tema era furor, que grande.

[djtommiedjtommie]

memories....owL

[rhythmplate1]

simply awesome tune - a 10/10 if ever i heard one! will always remind me of the garden festival in croatia 2008... happy days

[secondchapter]

ABSOLUTE FAVORITE FROM BACK IN THE DAY!!

[2tonsolid]

one of my first records!

[houseofjrk]

classic wbmx jam 

[TerryGini]

@houseofjrk HA! That's where I remember hearing it....Chicago summer of 81 or 82 on BMX or maybe GCI if it was around then....

[scorpions43]

3 peep are not glad to know you lol

[TheSPACECOWBOY68]

This song is the official state song for the African kingdom of Wakanda

[eleesmith]

@TheSPACECOWBOY68 they picked a nice jam 4 their state song

[Oldiesbuff925]

OMG...would love to start over from when this song came out, & forward....miss these dance classics....was young, came out, had my whole life ahead of me with so much to look forward to...now, middle aged, with many regrets....this brings back such fun memories....TY

[TheSPACECOWBOY68]

The national Wakanda dance

[SuperAroaro]

There is something wonky with this version, it's up almost a semitone and several BPM faster than two other versions I have heard. How come? Was the tempo/pitch tweaked during mastering for radio?

[998000000]

All my DJ friends in L.A. and I enjoyed your music! Easy to mix into...

[ddje]

Thanks for uploading this song. I remember when "Glad To Know You" was in heavy rotation on the radio and played on a locally produced dance show called "The Scene" with Nat Morris here in Detroit back in the early 1980's. This song was indeed a fun,upbeat cut that was sure to make one dance.

[eleesmith]

@ddje im feelin you.us Detroiters know and like good party music

[ddje]

@eleesmith Thank you for responding to my comments 1st off. I give thanks to the DJ's such as the Electrifiying Mojo and the others who were free thinkers when it came to playing songs such as this one. I remember when we used to say "Did you hear that jam on the radio!" Today the response is "Did you see that video!" The quality of todays music SUCKS. Today the corporations are dictating what is so-called "Hot" or "Popular" which is so sad.

[eleesmith]

@ddje lets not forget chas' 3 million synths

[ddje]

@eleesmith LOL!!!

[eleesmith]

@ddje while we bullshittin,lets not 4get skitso by a number of names,lets see if u a real mojo fan.he was the only one who would play it.its on youtube finally

[ddje]

@eleesmith The Midnight Funk Association, Star Wars..."Don't Say Damn! Say Whooooo!"

[ddje]

@eleesmith The Midnight Funk Association, Star Wars..."Don't Say Damn! Say Whooooo!"

Brings back so many great memories!

[eleesmith]

@ddje u are so right.todays music is pretty shitty.dam we used to listen to some good sounding shit

[snake7154]

I love this then and now!Glad to hear it finally after all these years!

[dosx78]

what u give is what u get", "please return the spoons" obvious reference to cocaine.LOL

[Kralice4u]

Chaz was on some serious shit ok? I mean the tune is nice, his voice is good, but some of the lyrics: "Said the turkey to the carving knife:

"What you give is what you get"

Said the waiter as he wrote the bill,

"Please return the spoons"

and so on.

WTF? Still a fun tune.

[nenesporps]

E Na @CASSAROLAqToKa do #ChefPaulinho, Tá Rolando = Glad to now you

[videoreff]

Best ever! I've always loved this!! But what do I know, I'm only a musician...

[lilissa15]

[msOctober12]

It's tunes like this one that bring happiness and purpose to living!

[rc17402]

I love this song. I wish it were currently available on CD...Chaz Jenkel, I'm glad to know you!

[carkiller08]

@rc17402

This song is on the CD-Sampler

"Ben Liebrand - Grand 12 Inches Vol.3"

[rhinobassdude]

Chaz Jankel is one of the greatest gems in British songwriting and is often not given the credit he deserves. AND I MET HIM LAST THURSDAY!!..He was a thorough gentlemen too.

[90SuperAziz]

@rhinobassdude salut ou tu l as trouvé?

[90SuperAziz]

@rhinobassdude salut ou tu l as trouvé? " chas jankel glad to now you "

[fonziereturns]

sonido ochentero Excelente tema de chas jankel, se bailo todo el verano del 83 y más...

[wksydney]

I first heard this and bought it when I was wide-eyed visiting San Francisco for the first time in mid-1982. When I got back to Sydney it was being played in the gay discos. Fab track with a great feel. "I wish that I'd been told!" :)

[BadNews88]

Note to hevyonez97:

Yep, I'm a WITNESS!

I heard this *lots* on radio....one of the few UK artistes from that era to hit big Stateside...until MTV came, that is..

An ALL-TIME UBER-MEGA-ULTRA RAVE-FAVE o' mine!

Thanx fer it, m8..

[slctrinjoc]

Amo essa música, dizem que Disco é picaretagem, mais essa música com certeza não é, existem muitas músicas da era Disco de tirar o chapéu, essa é uma....obrigado!

[jaimemaldonado45]

[hevyonez97]

[port2344chester]

"giguchan"The skate key IN THE BRONX... new ro .. WESTCHESTER COUNTY had a roller rink & on the streets...many of my friends jammed in the city. Those were some awesome days ... & yes i would not trade those days for nothing.... Will bring those with me to the grave...

[togiasgoate]

This song is fantastic! Ian Dury wrote this with the Chazmaster, who of thought?

[MassWrestling]

25 year old listening to this :) nu-disco is bringing it back!

[polysmart]

I love the fierce reverberated claps.

[4ANGYBEL]

I like this song: puts you the good humor

[aldop64]

questa è una della più e ritmate canzoni disco degli anni 80

[venancio2008]

estoy de acuerdo contigo Aldo.

[GiselaNYC1]

I love this jam brings back so many good memories when I was a kid... I use to roller skate my butt off.

[venancio2008]

lo mejor de lo mejor.

[videoreff]

The best ever, can't rate this highly enuff!

The world would be a better place if more people listened to Mr Chaz

[helenake1]

1 of discovinyl played in boccacio belgiem by olilivier Pieters 1982, destelbergen, whoaw!!

[EIGHTIESmusicguy]

I guess it depends on where you come from. Here in NY i heard it as early as fall 1981 and i'm a nut for the chronological order of things lol.

[2009TAZZMANN]

this song takes me back to my youth

[vacances888]

Eravamo in terza media...settimana di scambio culturale in Savoia(francia) Un compagno venne sgridato per colpa del suo stereo portatile...disturbava l'armonia della natura...Suonava questa canzone..1982 !

[DENNISPUPPY]

ANOTHER PERSONAL FAVORITE FROM 1982

[Oldiesbuff925]

OMG...WOW...the memories of hearing this when walking into my first gay club, nervous as all heck at 17 and started dancing my booty off. Listening to it now, can recall those days so clearly and wonder where, how they have passed so darn quickly.

[dackremo]
