@Little Albert I went dancing with equal amount of blacks and whites. We all had fun in those days. America was changing for the better and I think the ones that didn't want the country moving in that direction has worked hard since that time to stop it from happening.
I'm half Chinese and half Colombian and listened to this song when it came out in 1976! Awesome song to dance to. Anybody listening to this song in 2021?
Unfortunate this was the only big hit. Because I can think of 10 of their songs right now that I believe should have went big aswell. Very VERY under rated band
Yeppers, still does it for me and I'm almost 65 and I don't think it has anything to do with living in the Rock n roll Hall of Fame city...I was born here lol 😂

@@danemartin4155 I Don't normally watch American Idol, but the year Laine Hardy won did you see the guy that sang Play that Funky music? He was awesome!
Absolutely this was the song I listened to the first time I went roller skating good tunes I was 13 now I'm hitting 57and I still jam to all good music 🎵🎵🎵
Saw these guys in 1976, 3 years old mind you, along with Earth Wind and Fire at Scottish Rite Cathedral in New Castle, Pa. Rob Parissi still remembers me as the younger member in the audience, lol
Damn! I was 16 in ‘76, living in NC, Pa. How did I miss out on that line-up? Within walking distance from home. (But, back then a lot of places were “within walking distance”)
I was one years old born 1975 man love it raised my kids on 70 music... My daughter just texted me taste of honey boogie oogie just made her think of me brought a tear to my eye. Its how your raised. So I told her she could thank Grandma for that one too 🤣🤣🤣👍
Back in the day this was the first 45 I had on my HiFi Stereo. I'm 58 and still grooving to this song! If you don't dance to this song, something is wrong with you!!!
Born in 1970 but my sis and i would make our own danc e routines to all music when we were 5-12 and today i still put the club at a stand still when i dance just to watch and im 51 now. Owe it all to this song and ALL 70 80 early 90s music. ULTIMATE MUSIC
I love this band. Rolled smoke smoke and drank wine while listening to them. Back in the seventies with my boyfriend . No I’m not ashamed!!! He was a sweet time for the seventies teens growing up!!!!
Man this song will remain as the funkiest song sung and guitar played by a white boy forever 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼, don’t you know there’s still people out there whom refuse to accept this 😂😂😂😂
Esa melodía es legendaria e icónica me hubiera gustado vivir en esa fabulosa época la música era genuina y magnífica y las mujeres demasiado hermosas a pesar de tener un poco de cuatro décadas me fascina está grandiosa melodía, saludos desde México 😃👍🇲🇽
En Argentina cuando llego el disco simple de vinilo y lo escuche crei que era una banda de chicos de color cantando , pero fue una sorpresa al conocer a Rob Parisi , hoy con mis 65 años este tema me transporta a mi juventud en el colegio 1976
This was a one hit wonder and I was a kid back in the 70’s when it came out on the radio. I love the older songs because they had meaning to them compared to the music 🎵 of today’s world 🌎 and new generation too…😊
I have seen this video a million times- I think I even saw it on TV the night it aired- and i never realized Ms. Toni Tennille and the Captain were the dancing audience members!!! She is at .35 seconds looking gorgeous as always and her hubby is at .55 seconds- they are both dancing with someone else.. but I digress, they were amazing and this song is the best, still to this day- and i am 100 sure I saw this the night it aired on TV-
We weren’t interested in colors at the Disco. We just wanted to dance! Everybody was beautiful, baby!!
I was interested in anything that moved .hehe
@Little Albert I went dancing with equal amount of blacks and whites. We all had fun in those days. America was changing for the better and I think the ones that didn't want the country moving in that direction has worked hard since that time to stop it from happening.
you got that right!
@Linda Bentley Get a life!
Love it
Ah .......yes I'm 73 and love the music! 2023! dancing by myself! Thanks for sharing!
How can a song be 45 years old and STILL be cool AF?
LMFAOO!!!!
Because it's WAY BETTER than current music!!!
Imagine the music of today lasting 45 years!
@@slideryt Yeah, no chance...
"It's got a good beat & you can dance to it."

This song is the epitome of 70’s music MY generation!!! And my favorite song! ❤️
Was in jr high school when this song came out
I still have this record, but the memories of those times and music like this will never wear out.
Growing up in the 60's and 70's we were spoiled with an amazing variety of great music, so glad to have that experience and now the memories!
Still a song that makes you sing along and dance many years later!
A tune that has aged well, in my opinion , pure funky great sounding still 🎶👍
A one hit wonder that still rocks.
Unfortunate this was the only big hit. Because I can think of 10 of their songs right now that I believe should have went big aswell. Very VERY under rated band
@@davesendit1348 SO RIGHT...."BABY DONT YOU KNOW" WAS AS GOOD, OR BETTER....DB
This song will never grow old,Always play that funky music!!!!
Of course, it won't! Not with such timelessly cool lines like "I'm funking out in every way." 😎👍
The 70's vibe was fantastic. I was in middle & high school at that time. Epic.
Wow. You saw Grease at the premiere? Or go to Woodstock?? I was born in the 90s and love the 70s
@@byronbrownphoto I was at Woodstock. I saw Janis Jopllin, Jimi Hendrix...everyone. Live.

Every dance floor fills up fast when this plays!
We danced to this last weekend at a wedding reception. My three year old went crazy dancing 😊
Had the album when I was young. Would play it and dance on everything.. I'm 70. I'm ready to rock listening to this.☮️ Let's rock
Keep rockin Pamela
I’m 63 and still listening to good music from my era.
Yeppers, still does it for me and I'm almost 65 and I don't think it has anything to do with living in the Rock n roll Hall of Fame city...I was born here lol 😂
That is right girl! The young ones now do not realize that we DID rock and still DO rock!
I'm 70 and well...and this was already on my playlist.

75 years old and still listening
2021 and it still rocks
Yes it does ❤️
It is a G O A T SONG😎
Absolutely!!!
A song that sounds like freshly made, 45 years old!
This is just more proof that.the music from the 60's - 70's was the greatest ever. Music like this WILL NEVER BE DUPLICATED.
Absolutely better than any crap of what is called music today.
And 80s too. In the 90's it started dying. By the 2000 it's dead.
Great song in the 70’s and still a great song!!!! One of my favorites!!💖
Never gets old!!!
When Come to Gettin' Down to the Beat, Us 70s Folks know how to DO IT. and DO IT WELL.
The best decade for music.
No matter the race.
