[diezul08]

i was born in the 80s but this song still makes me get up and dance !!!! love it !!!!!

[phambo101]

Damn, I hated Paul Williams because he was the most untalented guest Solid Gold ever had! He was the most ugliest, the most fatty-acid packed, the most untalented man EVER walked on the face of this green planet!!!

[norfairaffair]

thanks for posting! Tony the Tiger music. Greeeeat!

[megaspartacus1963]

this was a righteous tv show in my day and loved this band so sad music today isnt this way today love that disco.

[blacklabelfine]

muito tosco esse video mais é da hora amo

[GOLDENBELL1991]

I saw them perform today, and man, I must say that they STILL have it. This group is pure gold. Epic and timeless. My legs hurt from dancing so much. It was an amazing chance to get to see them. They sure can rock a show.

[vitoduval]

I Remember the DJ on KFRC in the morning talking over the intro to this song at 6AM driving to SFO ...song was made for top 40 , You can still still listen to old Casey Kasem shows because the 40 was better than what we got now...

[vitoduval]

Those lady solid gold dancers were hot bodies, no tattoos. Man I miss the style....

[pv2lima]

more old school, its nerver too old.

[pc0p1mp]

Pimps just loved this, whores too!!!

[2008topshelf]

Man, those Solid Gold dancers were no joke. Real dancers. Not that video whore walk through crap. :-)

[WhatTheFlyinFudge]

Great band, but the bass player has a Napoleon complex.

[faustolg]

I see 9 idiots with no musical taste... so sad...

[GVike]

Have the kids today heard an original, non-sampled, in yo face slappin' bass line like this one in pop music in the last decade??? Hmmm...

[bigazzpimp407]

@GVike Unfortunately I'd have to say no. What a shame too.

[laudarenee]

those hilarious dancer's outfits-they look like they need a pole!!!

[7777VANITY]

FABULOUS SONG!! Love looking back on the past fashions and FADS !! I loved this show back in tha day :)

[toemeraldcity]

I didn't know it was the SOS band that sand this....solid gold? dionne warwick? woah when was this show on?

[djhugofunk]

i love sos band i ve got all their stuff, high hopes, groovin, what a mazing band is the s.o.s funk modern in 80s, funk algeriaa

[notton155]

A fine era, better music and less terrorism....

[mykael75]

@notton155 less terrorism reported to a worldwide audience, but ya awesome song you're right about that

[funkmike]

@notton155

Agree with the sentiment about the music, but unfortunately there was plenty of terrorism around in the early 80s.

[bluemoon2626]

Great Song. Awesome Video.

[henrymadman14]

I'm English.

I was 19 yrs old when this came out, I'm 50 now..........

[jojoheartspaypay]

You know there's a real band up there if you got the Solid Gold audience clapping! Just goes to show...when Mary sings, you listen!

[wtbfan76028]

"Do it right, y'all!"

[stevebigler]

@ANASTASIACHAVEZFILM I thought you were a tomato...

[stevebigler]

@ANASTASIACHAVEZFILM I positively think you should kiss my ass. (How's that?)

[IsmokerocksTyrone]

@stevebigler

Not to mention anyway you put it this is good rhythmic soul, ESPECIALLY compared to shit today. I honestly don't see you coming up with anything at all, much less good. So starting a grammar whore, technicality faggotry waste of space on here just shows how deprived you are.

[stevebigler]

@IsmokerocksTyrone I see you are using your big words tonight. Your mama would be proud... I guess...

[IsmokerocksTyrone]

@stevebigler Also what I actually meant by "be disregarded", if you bothered to read, means be disregarded for not producing facts but instead bitching like a dramatic retard. Big words? Get over yourself.

[stevebigler]

@IsmokerocksTyrone So by "what you actually meant" was that you cannot make yourself understood the first time... clearly. Again... might go back to the correct use of words. Seems I am perfectly understood. Now can we revert back to you disregarding me? You bore the crap out of me... I hope that was clear enough for you.

[IsmokerocksTyrone]

@stevebigler Generic ignorance? I can tell you don't talk like this towards real people otherwise your four-eyed pseudo-intellectual ass would get your fuckin' ass handed to you.

Just to clear up your little emotional imbalance rant there's nothing misleading with the way I said, "supply facts or be disregarded" is a basic expression, like "pics or it didn't happen", why the fuck do I have to babysit you and actually explain, "SUPPLY MORE FACTS OR BE SEEN AS A RETARD BY EVERYONE". Simple shit.

[IsmokerocksTyrone]

@stevebigler Oh fuckin wow.. Okay if you want to reply send it in a message cause comments don't show up on the page on ipods until you've pasted it for the 8th time.

[IsmokerocksTyrone]

@stevebigler

Noone's sensitive to the issue of homosexuality but yourself, you know you want their asses. How do you know they were lip syncing or that it was their decision. I can clearly hear background singing from the album added in but the actual singing sounds real, unless you can be more specific, be disregarded.

[stevebigler]

@IsmokerocksTyrone In your attempt to disregard me... you keep referring back to me. Commit.

[IsmokerocksTyrone]

@stevebigler I mean how you generally correct every spelling error makes it clear you lack the understanding that nobody is obligated to give a shit about their spelling on Youtube, thinking it makes a difference on the cesspool of the internet for conversation. The fact that you try to push your grammar nazi logic on others lowers your general credibility, thus making you disregardable overall.

[stevebigler]

@IsmokerocksTyrone  Generic ignorance must make you a happy man.

[pi6314159]

ok, i was 4years old when this aired. i was REALLY young cause I DO NOT remember those women being that FINE! SHIT! lol

[mxnfx]

They should bring back solid gold......

[Regg1972]

Goodness gracious....this is real music

[DancingSpiderman]

SHeeeYIKES... the female dancers... I was going through puberty when this on TeeVee ...

[jckstnly]

its like i cant even believe this happened real life

[ImTurningJapanese]

The popinist real base ever!

[kmp19621]

30 years on from release and the SOS guys still move me evertime i hear take your time......i'd be contented and blessed if i'm still doing the same in 2040 !!

[Gapandgold]

My girl mary is so dope.... i hope you still here.. i shed a few tears so please be here on earth safe for now...

[MemphisGrooves]

Nice Post !!

Many Thanks

[sonofyah2726]

I Really enjoyed there smooth magnetic sound !!!

[osky1416]

Brings memories of my youth years, i remember watching solid gold with my family, It was family time back then. Where have those day gone.

[stareyebeuty727]

i wasnt thought of yet but haveing parents hae to say it i love this song and others in the 70 i aint gon lie ha

[mo2da18]

Throw Back...Listen FB Family....WE CAN DO IT BABY...

[toolbox8134]

i had forgot all about this show i use to watch as a young boy

[DetroitTwinz]

Did this song really have 9 dislikes?? ...

[StrictlyBG]

Love it. So funky and tight mayn

"Mass 187 - Playas" is a very nice sample of take your time

[ATLien333]

LMAO.. this reminds me of high school and how me and everyone would hang out at the skating rink and skate and dance to this song back in New York.. LMAO .. memories

[sabaurae]

we live in a shitty decade, where people can be popular for  a sex tape or getting shot at. if that makes me old to hell with it.

[DancingSpiderman]

@sabaurae BWAAahaha... becoming popular for getting SHOT AT

[blacksquare09]

Wow My Uncle John on Bass with the Pirate Hat Classic.

[clemoldschool]

A true definition of what a real band is , no beefs, rain, bitches. shooting( Guns or otherwise), and bling. This happened all the time in the 70s and 80s, beautiful music by the bands that made ppl move their feet and sing alone to the lyrics.

[inaljones]

I can feel the dang blisters from the skates right now and its been almost 30 years  LOL

[4T8FB]

Classic!..

[4T8FB]

Wow what a great tuuune!, Ive always loved the S.O.S. Bands stuff..

There's nothing like it these days..

The women dancers remind me of when women where women they knew how to ooze sex appeal just by a turn of the hips..

The dance moves where more classy back then but also subliminally erotic in a way, sexiest dancers just like pans people of Top Of The Pops UK, check out pans people dancing to Diana Ross and the Supremes "Reflections" 1967 classy and sexy..

[schmarcie]

Thanks for posting this.

This was the jam to roller skate to back in the day and still sounds great 30 yrs later!

[megatopbitch]

wish them fuckin dancers would get off the stage! their soul train performance was much better

[airstrip101]

Saweeet!

[daveheel]

it doesn't seem that long ago but this was before i was in high school. great song. i miss solid gold too.

[dOpeeStarO1]

niceeee

[iboudiop]

JAM JAAAAAAAMM. Love S.O.S. Band.. .glad to see they are still touring as of 2008, go 'head y'all. Good music don't die. Dayum I wanted to be a Solid Gold Dancer! LOL

[Regg1972]

Now dis is some real music right here....About eight years old when i heard this song.....My peoples knew how to throw a party back in the day in the yard and didn't have to go to no Club to enjoy themselves......Riding my bike and jammin at the same time.......Reggie

[smalldickwhitemf]

thats the shit

[43rdcicero]

What happened to real shows solid gold,soul train, american bandstand, these fuckin videos just done took OVER!!!!

[NoPawn]

That's exactly what happened. MTV became the outlet for bands and killed all these shows. The Solid Gold studio eventually became the Arsenio Hall studio. Hall used to host Solid Gold, and he kept the old studio audience seats for his set.

[djsmith24]

baby we can do it take ya time do it right we can do it baby

[str8outtatexas1]

this is what u call a real band. u don't hear anything about my bitch,my 9mm,my glock,my bling,my grill,making it rain,beef with another m.f. u know all that senseless shit they rap about today. we grew up in an era where we got ass whippings n had manners towards adults n law enforcement. now these thugs now can't produce great music like this. it's considered to soft r gay. man u losers have no clue what reality is and no direction in life but 2 the department of corrections. old school 4ever

[eurobaby460]

true dat-couldn't have said it better myself!

[joost84]

@str8outtatexas1

PREACH ON !!!

[strictlyriddim]

word up!

[brassmaster11]

no doubt. i hear everything you're saying but as time moves on it seems like there is less and less positive things to sing about and by now there is on ocean of songs&artists to compete against in trying to come up with new & original material (my take on it) &some of dis crap --you wonder how it makes it's way out of the studio.

[hotmasked1]

@str8outtatexas1 what you said is priceless it almost bring tears to my eyes just because you are 110% right! thank you so much for your opinion.

[thephaseshifter]

I understand what you mean

There still good music like this .The point is most populair music from today dousent sound warm and groovy / funky etc like back in the days..There stil enough but the problem is its underground.. Lot of house end techno labels stil release disco etc like this made by analog machines.. But the public is to small to bring it in the big public. Sorry for my bad English. grt

[thefourthfunkateer]

@str8outtatexas1 , ain't that the truth !!

[NoPawn]

The funny thing is one day, someone will be saying about how today's music was real music!

[str8outtatexas1]

@NOPAWN-yeah your right. but thats because thats the music they grew up on just like we grew up on. but the difference is old school from the 60's until early 90's had substance,heart,soul,passion,l­ove and real voices.they had real bands that played instruments.i'm 43 n i could listen to all types of music from ever era, unlike kids today only like todays music. they have no diversity.i hear it,see it everyday.there is NO MORE OLD SCHOOL. sorry to say but 80% of music today is'nt music. sorry

[NoPawn]

Hey, I'm right behind you at 42, and I have to cop to the fact that until I was like 17, 18, but especially after I left high school, it was all R&B and hip hop - within a three month timeframe. And it took me trying to become a musician to break out of THAT!

[NoPawn]

41. I am 41. I will be 42 later. I keep doing that!

[Sunshine42975]

@str8outtatexas1 SO TRUE!!!! NO ONE IS PASSING DOWN TRADITIONS.....IF THINGS COULD GET BACK TO SIMPLICITY LIKE THIS....THE WORLD WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER. ITS AMAZING HOW MUCH INFLUENCE MUSIC REALLY HAS

[some1Ncolorado09]

@str8outtatexas1 , Ha ha You are so right I love how you put that is so very true.

[2Basescu]

@str8outtatexas1 U R Right , boy , they never sound like the old school , respect ! I am all into 70's 80's ! Cool and the Gang stuff alongside with good old Billie Ocean !

[StrictlyBG]

@str8outtatexas1 yeah i know what u mean. i canT stand the new rap music era too but oldskool rap from the 80s & 90s are cool. Even Gangsta rap"my glock,my9mm" etc,you know ;). You gotta check Fo'clips eclipse.He was real with his messages and all

This right here is real music unlike the fucking satanic metal music and hard-rock shit. there is no rhythm in this shit.You can find rhythm and groove in oldskool black music and not in metal music.They don't like blackmusic and we don't like metal...

[BBBWillBBB]

@str8outtatexas1 i absolutely love what you sed and how you sed it!

[osky1416]

@str8outtatexas1 Excellent Comment. 

[vegasbaby92]

@str8outtatexas1 - AMEN AMEN AMEN

[stevebigler]

@str8outtatexas1 Yeah... nothing gay about those solid gold dancers... especially those guys... pure macho.

And as for SOS being a "real band"... well... not so much. More like a studio creation sent out to lip synch like performing monkeys. (and that was NOT a racial color thing)

[str8outtatexas1]

@stevebigler -your to transparent. I can see right through you. explain yourself, and i want a real explanation,not some trumped up bullshit.

[stevebigler]

@str8outtatexas1 Again in English perhaps? "Your"?... MY what?

Assuming you mean [you're]. "to"?? Oh... you meant [too], meaning excessive?

Do these big words confuse you? I can slow down and diagram as required.

[str8outtatexas1]

@stevebigler -just what i though.get off the internet your fucking racist bitch.you did'nt explain anything to me,instead you wanted to express what a great teacher you are in correcting a damn word. your just another fucking desperate clown trolling through video's looking for negative bullshit. i knew exactly where you were going with those weak ass lines. you internet clown.i'm sure everyone who read your bullshit agree's with YOU. your a grain of salt,when it comes to fucking with me.

[chimpinaflightsuit38]

@str8outtatexas1 You said it perfectly. Reminds me of the days when all we thought about was making sure that our dance moves were hella tight. (remember dancing in the mirror for hours after seeing a new move on Soul Train?).

[RAB]

If your going to Do er

Do Er Right!

[62vlowe]

love you. great song

[vitoduval]

That first dancer gal was hot they beat the Fly girls

[AnthonyEllisHenry]

[sexiimami59]

[ZigTheFootKing]

Ohh Helll YEAH!!! =0)

[angelcarmichael]

I remember seeing The SOS Band on tv a few years ago saying how much they hated this song and did not want to sing it, but it has turned out to be a hit song for them.

[phillygrl69]

Take me back!!!!!!! Song is the JAM!

[MsRedhotpepper]

yeah i agree phillygrl69 i love old school

[detriotman]

great song to dance to.

[pasotay]

In this day and age, has anyone really listened the words in this song - they're so...inspiring!

C'mon Everybody - Everything's Gonna Be Alright!

[richiebear1969]

This song was good but prefer "Just Be Good To Me"

[Professorblu]

I love this!!!!!!!

[JammyBen]

aaahhh .... The sweet memories of the 80's.

[pasotay]

Mary is so Classy at :035 the way she smiles and interacts with the dancers...

[vbxrnts]

Good call. Great, great song!

[renee06]

now that's how u do it!

[anthony66619]

0.16 ... WTF is that guy trying to do, shake his ass, haha how akward.... great jam though ...

[fambothexterminator]

What's he's tryin' to say to you there, buddy boy is: " Kiss my gayish ass , all you young punks watching this with your new-gerantion music---this was how fun and soulful music was!"

[elthe3rd]

great classic. They had quite a few good tracks. That bass line is the best part of the song.

[Allnatural7]

I miss music like this..bring back good childhood memories.

[giamdisco]

Great dancers too!

[vaniti06]

Yes! People actually used to play their own instruments! And they didn't cuss, and they really danced! And this was a real reality TV show called Solid Gold that everybody watched every week! I even remember this! Wow!

[harleykman]

Except...

everyone on solid gold lip-synced their songs. Ditto Soul Train appearances.

[vimmo65]

I love it! One of the best groups of Disco...like Arpeggio, Peter Jaeques Band, Musique, THP, so & so... the best

[vimmo65]

Good!  Disco funk, the best!!!

[tanyatmr]

Damn 29 years already; good grief!!

[carolinaguy321]

Oh, hush! don't make it any worse. hahahaha!

[tanyatmr]

I know..........................­...lol!!

[creaturebotman]

Listen to that bass!

[tron19645]

Cool song....80s had some good music.

[rshandy]

this song is the jam..SOS put out a lot of good records..this one is my favorite though
