BELL AND JAMES LIVIN' IT UP FRIDAY NIGHT

[jtdr64]

Classic Dance Track. Disco lives.

[ProfessorNeuwave]

Once again 1978.

[mauricehiraheta]

One of the best Jams ever!!!

[cimism610]

Pre crack epedemic disco music REST IN PEACE DAD

[ProfessorNeuwave]

@cimism610 You really put this into perspective I never looked at it that way, but I have this super obsession with 1978, and I think you hit the nail on the head. It was a very, very happy time in the hood right before the epidemic hit, and ruined a lot of lives. Wow!!

[theSFDBskateteam]

Oh Yea!!! still makes me get up and dance :)

[AllstarFreakend182]

Hahaha Zach is so weird.. Love you sweetie! -3

[lirpa1959]

I remember this from my Freshman year in college. It is BS that LeRoy is a contestant on XFactor. He had a platinum album. Yes...old enough for vinyl! They owe the contestants the money for this. By the way, Stacy Francis toured with Chaka Khan, Madonna, and Prince. What BS. Give Melanie the prize and shutdown XFactor. Simon...go back to the UK ASAP.

[bbjewell1981]

This is way better than Rebecca Black's Version of Friday!!!!!!!!

[abcbabyyyyy]

thumbs up if Zach Porter sent u here!

[popmusic227]

@abcbabyyyyy yeahhhhhhhhhh he rlly did but i think friday is muchhhhhh worse

[popmusic227]

Respond to this video...  oh zach.......

[xdaniellequisengx]

Zach Porter....you're so right.....

[ADUBBLover13]

Haha! Zach Porter ,from Allstar Weekend, was so right about this song! :) -3

[84berrioscarlos1]

Thanks a lot 4 sharing this disco super great theme.

[oleskool61]

this is the working man's national anthem right here, I was young and in the mood for wine, women and song every friday night, I would put this on and practice my saturday night moves with my little sisters. Great Memories.

[fahmifardango]

A MEMBER OF THIS BAND LEROY BELL IS NOW IN X FACTOR USA!

[OldSkoolMuzik2]

I remember performing a dance routine to this song in my school's talent show in '79. We had choreographers who taught us the latest moves. Those were good times. We didn't win the competion, some older kids performed as Kiss with make-up and one guy spit up fake blood, so they were the winners, but we all still had a blast.

[makesham]

Yep Dats Back In Da Good Ole Days!!!!

[Sewnknit]

Wish I could find this for my iPod! Not on iTunes :-(

[brainards1]

Haven't heard this song in forever...heard it on sirius radio and it brought memories...!

[jasperjasper77]

Now here is a REAL song about Friday Night

[Codovan]

I always associate Bell and James with Hall and Oats, don't ask me why. I remember hearing this song on thursday's and getting antsy for fridays.

[DaveWollenberg]

LeRoy and Casey hit #15 in Billboard, 4-21-79. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[Ray85INC]

A song about Friday truly belongs to this duo, Bell & James and NOT to pathetic little Rebecca Black.

[trailboyus66]

Ok I thought this was my song. Back in 79 I used to daydream about going out on Friday's. Although I lived 125 miles from The City; I used to pick up disco 100 from Alton Ill. During the summer the signal was even better due to moisture bounce @ night. Now most of it is just a memory. As Maxine Nightingale told us this past Friday in Branson. "The 70's were so much fun"

[Duscet]

It is sad, but, true....This song started me out on enjoying the weekend since I was 17....that is 31 years ago! A fab song you can always boogie to if you grew up knowing this tune! Friday night...Bette B's, Foster City & San Mateo, Ca...1978, & 79...move your bootie!!

[oleskool61]

@Duscet

Yeah man, I started hitting the clubs at age 17 or 18 back in Alexandria LA, and this was the song to pump you up for the clubs. Will always be one of my alltime favorites. Damn I miss those days I was so young and did not have a worry in the world. Thanks for the post, the memories and the good old days.

[Duscet]

@oleskool61 ; Are you kidding? Alexandria, LA?? Most of my family lives there!!!!!!!!!

[vintageclassik1990]

Heard this every day of 8th grade on Tom Joyner. '03-'04

[Ginger319]

LOL...I think it played everywhere on fridays...I lived across the street from the offices of A&M...I had a very interesting childhood in Hollywood :)

[hankaaron1961]

It's a beautiful Friday today. I'm listening to this all day. I'm going to ride through the 'hood with the windows down, bass pumping, and show those thugs some real musical talent.

[SouthOCmixdown]

Totally forgot about this song, until I saw a 1970s docu~promo for Big Ron O'Brien spinning records at KFI640. He played this song and I hadnt heard it in over 30 years. It all instantly came back to me~ The memories, crazy partying, discos, oh man. Good times. Never to be repeated..

[helpout21]

BELL AND JAMES LIVIN' IT UP FRIDAY NIGHT

[DaveWollenberg]

LeRoy Bell and Casey James hit #15 in Billboard, 4-21-79. No offense meant here, gang, but, God bless! It's how I ALWAYS end my comments! Thanx for postin' it!

[lennymac100]

CLASSIC TGIF!!!!!!!

[Msredhoney720]

Did Bell & James ever make anything else??? Were they a one hit wonder?

[DaveWollenberg]

@Msredhoney720 In1977, they wrote a hit for Elton John, 'Mama can't buy you love, the album of which it was on, wasn't released 'til '79. 'Mama' hit #9 in '79. God bless!
