First heard this played by Dick Clark on American Bandstand! I know that it's the classic Philly Sound but please don't hate me but...but....I still say it's early disco at its best!
This song wil always be my favorite song, well one of them. I was 17 back when this song was released and a neighbor turned me onto the album. This song still stands strong and I remember once in NY during the middle 80s they played this song and everyone including me hit the dance floor. Talk about the mixing we kicked ass!!!
wait, I have to get on my polyester jumpsuit, platform shoes, and bubble hairdo on....now, I'm ready to hustle............OOPS, forgot my Singapore Sling!!!
@glxy55 This is the original...this is the instrumental version! MFSB had an original version wit' Three Degrees on it, 'n an short instrumental version! I had an MFSB album wit' this version on it...
The sounds of Philadelphia .What a great record company that was that produced such great classic music like this instrumental. Thanks for sharing this classic!
had never heard this song before, it's pretty cool!

jtclaf, a great editing job, this appears to be the vinyl version, great work though and the pictures are brilliant.
(thumbs up if you agree)

This is not the original. It does not have the Three Degrees vocalizations. It's a nice re-make, but not quite up to the original.

@glxy55 Actually this is the original just the shorter version of it.
