[TheBigdrob1]

From the FRISCO DISCO or Dance Your Ass off in North Beach.

[adreamalways14]

[bedroombody1]

This remix is totally fierce. I still have my vinyl copy. Brings back memories of Club Studio West in San Francisco in 1979! :)

[VenusGospeI]

[federicoghido]

@DEEDUBB1979fantastica....unic­a..che musica

[NEXPAR]

The remixer for this version is uncredited but I believe it's Rick Giantos. This remix was released on later copies of "Big Fun" as well as Second Time Around.

[DJMadHouse1000]

@Deborah4827 THAT'S WHEN IT WAS SAFE TO SIT ON YOUR PORCH WITH YOUR BOOM BOX AT 10PM LISTENING TO THE ELECTRIFYING MOJO. DETROIT WAS THE BEST PLACE TO BE BACK THEN.

[notbugs]

One of my all time favorites all categories! Thx for sharing! :D

[nu2thgame]

Classic...

[PixiepieDiva]

Awesome song!! Of all my Shalamar favs, this is still my NUMBER ONE!!!!

Not to be a purist, but too bad the person submitting this video didn't use the right album cover.. The "Three For Love" album (the cover shown) was the album released after "Big Fun" (the album this single ACTUALLY came from -- **LOL**)

[TriviaGeek463]

@PixiepieDiva MINE TOO! LOVED dancing to this one....

[southernblaque]

@FunkyFeverOfficial, dont be mad at them, they thought it sad "dis i like!!"

[zararity]

DAMN! That's the version I've been trying to find, I had it on a 12" with "The Second Time Around" on the other side I think... Where did you get this?!

[FunkyFeverOfficial]

2 people don't like that ... F*** OFF!

[lennymac100]

[MrTrackfreek]

SANG JODI

[809johnjohn]

[port2344chester]

FANtastic..... why cant we all dance & jam like we onced did when tunes like this ruled the dance floor. Hustle caontest.....nothing but the best era in music IMO!

[prettygreeneyed1]

one of the greatest disco songs ever !

[mrbearcare2]

THIS IS THE GREATEST VERSION OF THE GREATEST FUNK HIT BY thE GREATEST FUNK/ DISCO GROUP OF the 70s or the 80s. SHALAMAR HAS NO IDEA HOW FANTASTICALLY F___ING GREAT THEY ARE!!! FORGET RICK JAMES/ RENE AND ANGELA and all the others. NO ONE TOUCHES SHALAMAR this night doing this song NO ONE!!!!

[mrbearcare2]

@mrbearcare2 THE GREATEST DISCO SONG EVER!!! SIGNED : A KING OF DISCO FROM THE 70s!!!!

[TheSexytotty]

I luv Shalamar....reminds me of the old school days in London!!!!!

[slightcurves]

love this joint. bring back so many good memories of jammin in the park.

[jerseyrockboy]

Love this. In "79" I was 19 years old. Lived it!

[moidamir]

@jerseyrockboy What is it like being 50?

[scurniachiatta]

These guys are awesome, how come i never heard of them till now???

[TheSexytotty]

@scurniachiatta cos they were about in the 70s and I was 17!!!............they prob older than me!!.....lol

[doublej999]

say what you like, but this is a joint.... builds to a breakbown at 1:20, lets rip at 1:35

[Silverhorse32]

This is great dance music. I was in high school in the 70's Disco music and Funk  was the best music to dance to

[DoUWanna007]

@Silverhorse32 ...me to. We had a dance to this..we did it during lunch...those days were soooo cool...even some of the teachers would learn the dance with us...you should see all of us in the courtyard...everybody was jammin' ... :) Go Galileo High School, San Francisco :)

[djbobdiesel]

I think the next step up from this is "Here I am". Great groove, great vocal arrangement, great orchestration a definite Garage Classic!

[no1froggy]

AAAAAAH!, this is the stuff to make your ears smile!!!!

[NEXPAR]

This was THE VERSION. This mix blew the LP version right out of the water! I mean is blew it sky-high! So much that this version was put on later pressings of the album. My mother still has this album with the original version which has a few extra words and a mellow beginning. This mix kicked ass and took names later, garnering airplay at all times of the day in full form.

[rightknowledgeman]

@NEXPAR es verdad

[TMasimore1982]

so nasty:)

[Raffyut]

Geet uur deesco shoes on!!!!

[ziggy08080]

The BEST and I repeat the BEST Shalamar song !!!.....1979 when Disco was king :)

[MsRoadangel]

OMG !!!..bring back the days of 'TIME & PLACE' Forster Square Bradford West Yorkshire.....the best dance, RnB, jazz funk venue of the 80's.

[djtonyp5]

in the socket

[ninjatoothpaste]

Music was sooo much better back then in my opinion heh :D

[OneExoticBoy]

Shalamar is the shit!

[cheesyal]

Yep, Jody Watley.

[AngelSweetLove]

I think the female singer is Jody Watley. Anyone know for sure?

[boscosunderrated]

[satchseven]

[skingerskanger]

[starfly7]

[spottydog4477]

Listen to the arrangement, vocals, and quality of instruments.........

Kick -ass !

[rewardless]

[FIGHTSEEN]

One of the best percussion breaks on a record...ever.Leon Sylvers produced right?

[lesboil]

I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT!!!

[loveflares]

This is my shit !!! The greatest music of all the times I loooooovvvveee thiiis music sooo muuuuuch!!!!!!! ***** :D

[gemini19662007]

DISCO RULES!!!! there's no other type of music like it.

[loveflares]

Yes that's very right unfortunately today's musicians don't wanna make any music like this one :( Shame on them. This music is the No.1 !

[gemini19662007]

You got that right about that one.Todays music is nothing but garbage.

[loveflares]

Thanks for agreeing me :) Let's hope in miracle potentially later this type of music will have a revival because now this kind of musics available here on youtube and many other websites. I believe in miracles ;)

[gemini19662007]

So do Let's keep hope alive.

[loveflares]

Yeah I'm doing it :) I think others doing the same thing with me.

[gemini19662007]

They sure will.

[loveflares]

ok :) of course

[neopandorex]

a lot of electro goes and dig around these grooves

[loveflares]

Yeah especially in the begining and at4.34 those parts and that bass guitar sounds so cool!:D I really love this song! It's a perfect groovy disco music! I wish they still making stuffs like this one;)

[VirgilB01]

@gemini19662007 - THAT WAS REAL MUSIC BACK THEN! This #1 hit went either double or triple platinum for this group! I had a hard time getting the 45 and the 12 inch for this single in 79' SOLD OUT everywhere! Every time this song was played at the Discoteque or the skating rink the floor was PACKED! I missed those days!

[TheDelightfulmiles]

My first disco record bought on 12" vynyl record. Realeased on SOLAR records.

Sound of Los Angeles Records. Groovy disco beat Mmmn!!!

[mario1764]

[treeZon1]

WOOT!!!!!!!.....THAT SYNTH AT 3:47

[nogerka]

[skipdecatur]

This is by far the best version of this song. I've loved it since I first heard it back in the late 70's/early 80's and this version is one by Rhapsody playlist. Been looking for this version for a while. Thanks for posting!

[davideg9660]

Good sound! *****

[1986Testarossa]

[ziggy08080]

Agree...pure disco...this is the best Shalamar song period...dont hear this one enough anymore...God Bless Leon Sylvers..Solar Records was one of the best !

[hamansutra]

disco balls, strong lights, incredible sound systems, peoples dress really nice, do in a hustle, just good times!

[artremease]

[Neilpartytime]

This is one of the hottest songs they made. Is there a house version of this song?
