  • I love this song, reminds me of my youth in Queens, NY.

  • @WILDSTYLENYC Queens here too! This song does the same thing for me! I remember I could hear this song playing everywhere, it seems, back in Queens. Those were the days of radios in the street and the beach! Okay, so maybe, all of Rockaway beach had this song on the radio.... lol

  • love it love it love it

  • The quintessential hustle tune! Love it! As one of the originators of New York Hustle I say bring this musis back. Rap and todays R&B is nothing compared to this!!

  • @airrocker001 The 21st century is "F"ed-up. Sometimes you need to go back to see what you did wrong.

  • @kcivnivlek what i said was just an act of rebellion aganist my father because sometimes i get tired of hearing disco all day, sorry if i offended anyone. i wanted to get even with him lmao

  • One of the greatest jams of 1976,oh the seventies were fantastic.We cant bring back the 70's and the 80's,but man we've got the great music from that era.Peace.

  • Can't get no better than this! Oh how I miss my childhood! One of my all time favorites!

  • Hi Meeluv - Well.....Maybe you know something that no one else knows but....as far as I know (and I've been around the disco block as well) and the internet, here's the scoop: Hot Dance Club Songs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The first 12-inch single made commercially available to the public was "Ten Percent" by Double Exposure .... Billboard Hot Dance/Disco 1974-2003. Record Research. ...

    If this isn't right, I'd be interested in seeing something on it!

    ALL THE BEST!

  • I remember riding The Whip (or something) at Coney Island , and this tune crankin in the background.

  • @MsLadybird99 ...You may have been riding the whip at Coney. I was part of the crews that would dance the hustle in front of the whip after breakin night at Ipanema, Starship Disovery 1, Casablanca and most the the nightclubs back in the day. yeah those were great days.

  • ALLWAYS LOVED THIS!!!

  • still super hottttt today....

  • I only see you maybe once or twice a week You make it worth my while to treat me like a king Stop playing this is the sh@$%&* Loving it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Where were you when you first heard this song? I was hanging in "EL BARRIO" WHERE I GREW UP ON EAST 116TH STREET BETWEEN LEX & PARK!

  • I remember this song. In those days that was really good music.

  • Thanks my friend. Way back in 74, if you could do a few moves you could dance with the girl of your choice. Thanks again, Dave Lanni, White Plains High School, Class of 72.  Oh yeah, it's me! And I can still move.....

  • Yeah this sounded great in the clubs...NYC & WBLS...Frankie Crocker...

  • @sonicboomfunk you already know!!!!NY TILL I DIE HARLEM STAND UP!!!!!

  • Yeah!!!!!!!!!!! I used to run to the floor when this one came on. I miss the Shelter days, Loft parties....NYC!

  • when i first listen 2 this song is was on wbls in new york i thought it was the o jays but this is the joint 4 the 30+ go with JESUS still lookin 4 this song

  • Blackpool Mecca disco monster, late 1976.

    At the time, this was reckoned to be the first commercially released 12" as I recall. Salsoul and Roulette were the first companies to release them beyond promo DJs copies. They caused a bit of a stir, selling at at £2.50 a throw...

  • I still have the album... thought i was the only one?

  • This and The Tramps, Trogladyte, The Blackbirds Rock Creek ParK at Odyssey, Ipanema's, Reflections, Giraffe's in NYC. Brings a smile to my face. I spun some at Dancemasters in Brooklyn and the Riviera Night Club. Man, those were fun times. Dance all night!

  • God Bless the Philly sound!

  • What great memories of happy times in Lorain, OH. The mobile DJs played such a wide variety of tremendous music. I am so glad to have been young in the 70s. We danced all night-hustle, line, salsa merengue, cha-cha and bolero. Those were the days with nights filled with joy!

  • Not enough of these Grooves on the Radio anymore:-( well in the UK anyway..

  • This GREAT GREAT record was also the start of the availability of the commercial 12" dance remix record. I believe it was the first! STILL a great record that I never get tired of.........The Salsoul Family definitely put out some of the greatest MUSIC (not just disco) of all times. It would be hard to achieve or duplicate this level of artistry.

  • @dat2disc I don't think it's the first, but it's considered the first "good one". The first commercial one was "Dance Dance Dance" by Calhoun in 1975, and this came out in 1976. But this record definitely put 12-inch releases on the map.

  • ....check out the NPR (National Public Radio) interview(Terri Gross/Fresh Air) with Thom Bell if you want to learn about this music........what a career this guy had...TSOP

  • Peace..I always loved this song. Makes you wanna dance even when you are tired makes you smile when your frowning...I love this song it's the truth...I truly loved this music era even though I was very young...ughhh the good ole days..lol...Peace

  • Whooooooosssshhhh!!!!!! Hot Damned!!!!!

  • That lead singer and the background singers were tiiiiight! stood the test of times definitely!

  • reminds of being in NY doing the Hustle real serious right here and we loved those disco breaks!! can you say Harlem World! Studio 54! Broadway International! Leviticus! Zanzibar or of course the Garage Just Classic!!! And think of all the great d.js that spun these joints!!!Can you say Battle of the dj.s on WKTU 1n 1982 whose git those tapes???...

  • You are not lying! I remember hearing this song rocked during WKTU's "Battle of the DJs".. The DJs being M&M, the Latin Rascals. Kenny Carpenter, Boyd Jarvis, Frankie Knuckles & too many more to mention.. The good ol' days!

  • LOVED that Leviticus...my GOD, people would jam up a storm and so much fun! Never forget Studio 54...what a time and to think we can still talk about it with such fondness. Club Zanzibar, those folks were serious party people. Remember Frankie Crocker used to advertise those weekend diso dance partys!  Thanks for a great post.

  • And remember - "When Frankie Crocker isn't on your radio, your radio isn't really on" !

  • Classic! And don't forget The Loft!

  • @Imakebeats65 oh you are making me homesick!!!!!!!the red parrot, bentleys!!!my god!!!!!!

  • baker harris young went to salsoul to produce these cats....

  • Where is Double Exposure? Are the guys still singing?  I heard a while ago that Jimmy Williams was singing with the Tramps. What's going on with them?

  • Hi - the guys are still together and singing. They sound great. I think they are in the studio right now!

  • here was a garage / deep house track around 93 or 94 that used this. may have been on the nervous label. anyone know who/what it was?

  • Makes me think of Philly in the mid 70's. Afros, Beards with Mutton chops. Big Brims, Ladies with hot pants, and tight Bell Bottom hip huggers.

  • @ItalianQue platform shoes, yeeeees

  • For Those who once thought Disco to be corny at one time ,you got to be hoping that this type of stuff resurfaces being that the Music nowadays is in just such a bad state!

  • Disco became synonymous with white people, cocaine and bad dancing when it became commericalized and corporate. I was born in 1970 and can remember most of these songs as a kid growing up in NYC and boy do they take me back.

  • Agree Tech!!

  • This is the Philly Sound at its best(MFSB Players--Sigma Studios ,ect!! Great Times!!!

  • You know that the drums of EarlYoung and the bass PLayer Sugar Bear made this group work

  • And thanks in part to those two, disco BEGAN in Philly, back when it was dance-soul.

  • Ron Baker,Norman Harris,& Bobby Eli this was the start of the Philly Sound. Check my SITES

    Sigma Sounds or Earl Young & Company

  • The Philly Sounded with "Philly Soul Prince" Thom Bell, followed by Gamble and Huff, then Baker-Harris-Young, etc.

  • HEY! All of them was in the mix Marcus,Linda Creed,Sugar Bear David Cruse and many more.

  • Tooles,Whitehead it was alot of fine talent that was in the embro-stage of that sound.

    hit me back!

  • In the earliest part of the decade, Philly Soul Prince Thom Bell got the ball rolling in '71 with Delphonics, Stylistics, etc. with chart-topping Philly sound. I'm glad to know about others you mentioned. Linda Creed i 'memba 'cause of her work w/Bell on some J5 classics. But, like I said, I'm always glad to know about others. Thanks for the info.

  • You went back on that one. Check out this book House on Fire by John Jackson: Philly Soul

  • Hey Taylor4660 did you check out the other songs on 68p and vocallysmooth2 and hit me back peace!

  • Homes the Philly Sound Starts with the Intruders, they are the GodFather of the Philly Sound. All the other are their children. Gamble and Huff are the Architects of this great legacy of the hundreds of people of Philly who have made great contributions to our musical legacy

  • Top Classic!

  • Remember Ipa's with the color coded dancefloor and Roseland was right across the street on 52nd and Broadway?

  • How I long for the old disco days again-Remember the Galaxy,Xenon, Inferno, Tropicalia

    the Top Floor.These kids today don't know what

    fun is or how to dance.I was from Jersey but only was there on Wed and Sun nites. Sharon

  • I was just telling someone who was much younger than me how much I partied in NY, they have no idea, hang out all night till your ears ring so much you can't sleep and then do it again the next night. I have fond memories of the late 70's and early 80's.

  • I hustled to this song till I wore out the bottom of my marshmallow shoes when I lived in Queens, what memories.

  • These Brothers came to my brother's club in B'klyn back in 77. I was 12 years old hangin in the clubs when Disco was at its peak. I played pinball with one of the singers, I can't remember which one, but when I reflect back on the memory, I just loved the 70's! Nothing cam compare to those magical days back in Brooklyn from 75' to the late 80's.

  • Very Hustle and very Harold, classic strutting tune!

  • This is one of those records that just sticks in your head faw-eva. It's a gem. Thanks for posting.

  • hey CharlieMike60 your not alone saw them at cherrys at enchanted gardens in long island at camelot in bklyn and the fun house in manhattan!Then they came to vegas in 99 with harold melvin & the bluenotes the main ingredient and the stylistics you could live to be 500 years old and it wouldnt get any better than that music.give a listen to dreamin a dream by crown heights affair or born to be alive patrick hernandez could go on 4everfav is zing went the strings of my heart-da trammps-enjoy

  • THIS IS MY SONG FOR JIM.

  • Wow, this reminds me of the Epanema Disco in NYC back in the 70's. I miss my 3 piece polyester suits and hustling all night long. Thanks for the memories

  • i say we get rid of rap/hip hop rubbish and bring this back

  • absolutely T for Tremendous

  • @WonderKidCopperfield how is rap/hip hop rubbish? stop dissing entire genres of music based on a few popular tracks dominating the radio/tv

  • Awesome!

  • My very favorite disco joint to hustle to.

  • That's what I'm talking about!!!!!

  • Hey Justgod7, you got taste kid..this is one of my old time favorites jams!!

  • the hustle song at all the new york clubs and some really great jersey clubs. LOL thanks for posting.

  • Did you ever make it to Cherrys in NJ when the Trammps played there. Somehow I think I may be the last person living on earth who remembers. CM

  • anyone know the title/artist of a US garage tune (on Nervous i think) from around 93 or 94 that looped the break from this boom tune?

  • oh, this is ( and remains) a badddddd jam.. one of my faves-genre notwithstanding...

    this group is from philly... this groove rocks!

  • IM ONLY 27 BUT I BE BANGIN THIS OLD SHIT!

  • Hell yeah, I am 28 and I get off on the ol' school. They weren't playing back in the day.

  • Great song....a real classic Salsoul record !!

  • My Love is Free I meant to say. They sounded a lot like Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes with this song, But My Love is Free the Blue notes sound was not s prominent. You would of thought they were with the Blue notes label and not Salsoul.

  • I like this a lot but My Love is Real is what I am looking for.

  • brilliant dont make music today like this today class from the past mark adams  harwich

  • Hi kids! Back in '77 and in CEGEP St-Laurent in Montreal, a couple of friends and I had started a side-line: a "Mobile D.J.". It was an old Ford-Econoline with interior covered with red shag where we had our turn-tables and milk-cases and milk-cases of 12inches of vinyl doing basement parties up to stand-by d.j.s in weddings. Mannn, we were kids but we knew that music ...by heart. Lollllll
