I was far too young to remember this when it first came out but it was one of the tunes that the older jazz-funkers in my local pub used to go on about when I started getting out in 1982/83.. Very privileged to have caught the dying embers of the jazz-funk scene around London and the South-East.
This tune was a HUGE club side in mid 1977, Jubilee year, (NOT 1978/1979), played on US Ovation 12". A massive anthem at Chaplin's in B'ham, Blackpool Mecca, Ritz, Manchester Alldayers etc.
The "blue vinyl" 12" mentioned was the UK issue from 1979.
@Sal1675 The UK Southern soul scene was all about the dancing. The clothes were great too. Girls didn't look tarty then. Wish we could relive those times. The tunes are classic, my 6 year old loves them.
