Boogie Oogie Oogie - A Taste Of Honey (1978)

"Boogie Oogie Oogie" is the name of a popular song by disco/R&B group A Taste Of Honey. Released from their self-titled album in 1978, it became an extremely popular 'crossover' song. It topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the Hot Soul Singles chart, and the Hot Dance Club Play chart. It would eventually sell over two million copies and has become one of the most recognizable songs from the late 1970s disco era. It would also help the group win the Grammy Award for Best New Artist of 1978. Formed during 1971, A Taste Of Honey hailed from Los Angeles, California. The membership of the band consisted of Janice Marie Johnson (vocals, co-writer, bass), Carlita Dorhan (vocals, guitar), Perry Kibble (keyboards, co-producer, co-writer) and Donald Ray Johnson (drums). Long time friends Kibble and Janice Johnson (no relationship to Donald Ray) were the original members of the band. Each had left a band to join forces and, after going through several drummers, they settled on Johnson, as well as replacing lead singer with Gregory Walker, who left the band just prior to the successful release of "Boogie Oogie Oogie" to join Santana. Carlita Dorhan left the group in early 1976 and Hazel Payne was added. This channel is dedicated to all the great 'old school' R&B music I grew up with, the stuff that originally made me tap my feet and want to be a DJ. Funk, soul, disco, R&B, dance, hip-hop, pop . . . 60s, 70s, 80s . . . whatever you call it, it's all 'Old School' and it's all here!

One thing people not of my generation will never understand: Disco was and still is feel-good dance music.

I still enjoy it. Reminds me of when school, Saturday Morning cartoons and Star Wars were my sole concerns :)
