I'm heading up to a club in Birmingham uk, got this playing on my new tape recorder, sat with my mates on a coach, I'm 18, now I'm 49 & still this reminds me of such good times, where did all those years go!
@TimeSplittersForEver Well, to play vinyl with quality turntable and speakers makes the music more "ambient" and "bright", whereas digital music is "precise" and "punchy" too perfect. Even digital music put on vinyl records still sound "ambient".
Vinyl for DJ is more showmanship than anything. Can't look like you're working it spinning a LCD screen with Virtual DJ running. Though Daft Punkt seems to pull that off alright :-p
i was in 2nd grade when this song came out, but remember it like it was yesterday.. sitting in the backseat of my family's giant 70s car, seeing the NYC skyline in the distance and imagining dancing to this song there.. so cool :)
I do agree To hear this on vinyl through a Linn Sondek turntable and with wicked speakers is kinda out of this world. Digital is digital but no warmth. You have to spend big $'s to get that sound from digital
Really is out there in a class of its own. The bass line and lead guitar are simply awesome. Always a spiritual experience listening to this tune. Awesome and beautiful.
Just like EW&F and so many groups, GQ not only sang dynomite soul-n-funk vocals but played all their instruments. Thats pure talent!! A "Standing Ovation" to GQ indeed!! I remember watching them live on da train.
Ah yes, another pure disco hit!!! GQ had folks in the aisles dancin' their tails off to this!!! Good and rich funk and disco still survives, even if it just on the net!!!
i am dancing to this now at 51 all time fav disco song have it on 12 inch this music is full of joy and laughter worship it great beats great music love junysawrus xx
when I was a dj I closed every evening with this song in the 80's... I so love this album..pure funk ! the feelings right and the musics tight on a disco night !
Dude! thanks for posting! havent heard that in YEARS! had to buy it immediately ( I know, I know - its only an mp3- but give me time and I promise to find the vinyl- had to have the grooves NOW!) thanks for posting-
Vinyl sminyl, if it weren't for all the modern digital advancements this video/song couldn't have been made to reproduce the exact vinyl sound you are referring to, think about it!!
Chooonnn!!! MG Midget top down driving around St Helier Jersey graphic equaliser and speakers pumping We thought we were so cool (not ) but great summer 1978 and a very happy Carlo barlo 19 yo happy happy days.
I was in 5th grade and took the "45 single to a school Christmas party! Now I have GQ's compilation CD right in my car...always have it ready to play!! From a 10 year kid, to a now 42 year old woman...this music is testimony on how timeless old school music is!!!!!
Nothing sounds like vinyl I don't care how you reproduce it LP's have a depth of sound that cd's mp3's can never EVER reproduce. Damm this sounds good. Still rocking my turntable till the day I die.
@TheBigShel lol thats funny because .wav's have 10 times the frequency response than vinyl , not to mention that they dont degrade of time and wear, ! ! but at the same time . nothing beats the good ol wax :d
@pamelaleeful oh yeah don't get me started. Every Friday night to the skating rink. Big fro. Music bumpin. Those were the days. Getting my mack on outside till my mom pulled up in the station wagon...Dammm lol
This is the song in the 70s I truely love this song!!! Is not made for everybody.... just the true lovers of soul music..... The music was made of.true power getting ready song LOVE GQ!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing and not hatermarking this amazing classic. This is the sound quality uploaders should strive for. Too many clowns on youtube filming a record playing and posting it. Real DJ's like myself really appreciate these quality posts. Good lookin' out, Homie! DJ Swerv, Brighton Park Chicago
@PresaCanarioLover Cool man, i lived in Whittier in 1965 and cruised Whittier Boulevard at aroung 12-13 years old with my older sister and her friends, what a gathering!! Wow, and Bob's big boy was the place!!!
I was 10yrs old but I remember my mother playing this song a LOT!! I Love it!! Old School for life. That's all I listen too... I remember going skating and when this song came on...you ran to the floor...lol!
Great Song to Dance/Rollerskate too! Tight guitar rhythms & lyrics....Music was meant to provide a 'stress free/fun' environ to 'Get Down & Boogie' and this song is the JAM.
I would like to take this time to thank u guys b/c this record made me get up out of bed to go to school and work especially when I didn't want too. this is a classic just wanted to holla @ u just 2 say thanx.....
How I remember this. Rushed out to buy the album after hearing this track at various allnighters. Thanks to whoever put this on yb, it's stirring the memories.
