@@majestysol7100 Yep, nothing wrong with diabetes, nothing wrong with heart disease and strokes, nothing wrong with gout, and nothing wrong with osteoarthritis (unless it stops you from dancing).
@@dinahwhite3929 always wondered how Brits understood black music so well. You don't find many if any white (to be fair anywhere in the world) artists from America that get it, but some how Brits get black soul music so well.
@@martinsanchez4827 Many in England looked up to soul, R&B & Motown, not so common in white America. The idols of the "British Invasion" were often Black American musicians.
The Bee Gees, like many British Invasion groups embraced Afro-American music, & introduced to a wider audience. Like The Beatles, The Bee, Gees had fans in the Black community because of their embrace of R& B music, & their respect & honor for the artists of that genre. The Bee Gees bridged the musical gap between Blacks & Whites. Good music is good music no matter who is doing it. 🎸🎼
Great comment sambradley. When the beatles came off the plane in 1964 into the US a reporter asked what music do you want to go and hear over here and paul mcCartney said muddy waters. The reporter hadnt heard of him. The beatles loved motown and smokey robinson. The beegees loved the mills brothers
My father bought me this 45 when I was in elementary school, I played it so much my mother hid it from me but Dad just went and bought me another one. Still love this song to this day. And I loved me some Barry Gibb!! Good memories! 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
OMG I love that story. So many of us had an album a parent hid from us because of overplay. And once we become adults with kids of our own, looking back we don't blame our parents in the least!
I was born in '71, and adopted in '73. I'm now 52. My (adopted) dad - rest his soul - was the only one I trusted and with whom I danced. My (adopted) mom on the other hand was and still is a covert narcisist (now 92 yrs old and dementia... and she now hates me even more ). LOVE your story! Hits home.☺
Awww, man, those were the days!!!! What a blast the 70s were!!!! Free and easy, chillin', cool vibes, funky clothes, great bud, - nothin' better!!!! 😂 ✌❤ Glad I was part of it.
@Trista Fravel Not true. This is exactly how we dressed back then. Ain't no "costume" about it. I've watched lots of these Soul Train clips and seen jeans, skirts, one-piece jumpsuits, tube tops, floppy hats, platform shoes, and cardigans that I once had in my wardrobe as a teen.
Keep in mind that fashion designers were lining up to dress those kids. Also, those kids were pretty much the same week to week, and yet never got paid. All were aspiring professional dancers.
These people look great. Healthy, Happy and Feeling the Joy of Just Being ALIVE! Love their clothing. No tats, no body piercings that are visible and no purple, orange or magenta hair.
I love how they all just went for broke with their dancing. Everyone had something unique and interesting going on. I couldn’t truly appreciate the show when I was a kid, but I love seeing these clips now.
I'm an old Bee Gees fan and I never understood why that there was a backlash against the brothers though their music was fabulous and even today still sounds great.
I watched this every Saturday and learned how to dance, at eight years old, i watch reruns all the time. Thank you for this show, it helped me get thru a difficult childhood
I am a fan of the couple at the start in the matching green ensemble. They have really awesome technique!!!! I bet they can do some fierce Salsa now. If anyone knows who they are please post.
I found out the name of the woman dancing in the green ensemble at the start. Her name is Thelma Davis Martin. I think this particular dance partner is a Darrell Witherspoon. So much technique, style and class. I am very surprised you both did not dance for Ailey. Just the same thank you for sharing your talents! Awesome!
naviv wilkins I believe that male dancer is Chris Benabeade. There was a clip where he asked the Pointers a question and I am pretty sure he said that was his name. I love them too.
it looks like in the 70s people were happy, full of energy. wish i was born during this era.
+Jennifer Hernandez...., 70's had some issues like Inflation, Joblessness, Gas Crisis, Racism, etc. But overall...., it was a STONE JAM! Amazingly Creative and Artistic era. Missing it so much now!!!
Jennifer Hernandez. I was born in 68. So yeah. I love and appreciate it.
before HIV and AIDS. lots of fun i bet!!!
A lot slimmer too.
Fred Miller Jr Exactly
I'm sure all these dancers are in their 50s and 60s looking at these videos in pure Nostalgia 😍
More like in their 70s now.
Whoever put the thumbs down should be slapped and put back in their box! This video is two minutes of pure 70s goodness on a plate!!
6 fuddy duddies... smh
Absolutely 🎼🎼🎧🎧🎸🎸💃🏽
The 70’s was a blast. Great memories, Fantastic music and Fast cars. We knew how to live it up. Sure miss those days.
We used to peal out when we heard songs like that. No???
@@craigbruce2530 Peel outs, burn outs, racing each other and just all around having a great time. Damn I miss those days
I miss those days. They're all full of energy, nobody overweight, that's the way it really was.
Uh nothings wrong with being overweight.
@@majestysol7100 Yep, nothing wrong with diabetes, nothing wrong with heart disease and strokes, nothing wrong with gout, and nothing wrong with osteoarthritis (unless it stops you from dancing).
Because we were sweatin’ on the dance floor!
@@reba5679 and ate less processed food and actually moved our butts instead of staring at a computer screen….
Can we take a minute to appreciate the talent of the dancing here 👏
We watched Bandstand to see the LA kids clothes, then we watched Soul Train for the music and dancing!
Power great Black sound made by white brothers...Sensational Bee Gees.....
believe me the brits know funk yeaaaah
Aye get that northern soul 🔥

Love has no color its music is universe of language
Except the Beatles even as solo artists could never and wouldn't know how to do contemporary RNB. The Bee Gees do it effortlessly.

@@Raider577yes good comment
I'm going back to those good old days, THE 70's! and 80's! in a time machine..... anyone else coming?
Save a seat for me!
i'd gladly come, as a teenager today lol
My father bought me this 45 when I was in elementary school, I played it so much my mother hid it from me but Dad just went and bought me another one. Still love this song to this day. And I loved me some Barry Gibb!! Good memories! 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
I like your dad!

AMEN or LIKEWISE!
I sometimes feel like I was born in the wrong era, but honestly we can bring this energy back if we all try hard enough.
Learn ballroom dancing, especially Salsa. You will be on the dance floor just like them!
Ill come to your party!!😂🤩🤩
Those kids were killin' it!!
Better than today
The BEST disco song from the Bee Gees... the bass kills it! Deservedly a #1 hit from 1976!
🤎🤎
Hello !! just one of so many !! Staying alive for starters ??
1977
People ridicule how people dressed in the 70's. Man, they look like princes & queens compared to today. Unless you're at a formal.
It was cutting edge and trendy then. ..
Some of these fashions are actually being worn today. Even bell bottoms were back in style in the late 90s and platform shoes
You know what ask your dad and your mom are they dressed in those days Mario DJ low
@Trista Fravel
Not true. This is exactly how we dressed back then. Ain't no "costume" about it.

I love & miss the 70’s. The music was fantastic with love in the air.
ill give my left kidney to live this
Actually you can have both, it only takes a trip to Tijuana, drink some tequila with mezcal in a shady bar after 9PM and you are all set :-)
The soul train dancers are feeling it!
the 70's were incredible. Great dance music, talented artists. musicians, fashion was tremendous for the Era of disco soul. They knew how to DANCE.
that bassline was something DIFFERENT !!!
It’s subtle genius
Oh wow love this!!!! This was our Studio 54 every Saturday on t.v.
This is how we did it! Pure fun. High on the music and having the time of our life dancing! I’m so glad I was smack dab in the middle of all of it!
For me this black people dancing disco is the peak of human beauty and the highest expression of joy in artistic expression. Its just makes me smile.
You need to get out of the house more often
@@Bit-c-k6hWeird
The ladies on Soul Train were my fashion inspiration. I still prefer fashionable but modest dressing. Love the white gauchos with boots at 1:15
LOL. I love the guy dancing around everyone in the white shirt. He's living his best life.
Imagine seeing your grandma in one of these!
Brings back 70s memories of dancing the "hustle" in night clubs.
they are having so much fun. I wish that I could have been there, at least to watch Them dance,
These people look great. Healthy, Happy and Feeling the Joy of Just Being ALIVE! Love their clothing. No tats, no body piercings that are visible and no purple, orange or magenta hair.
Look, no cell phones! Everyone healthy, elegant, strong. And not drunk or drugged up.
Uh not really half of these people are on booger sugar it was just clean back then…
We're going to act like cocaine wasnt... okay.
I never tired of listening to this great song. High quality, to bad we don't have these type of songs to dance to for the new generation.😢💃
Everyone back in the day danced to just about everything. Great times all around.
Moving & GROOVIN ❤ HELL Yeah~
People were so happy that you can feel it. GOOD TIMES.
This is so awesome.
This era was much better than rap.
I just remembered...... 🎶 I should be dancing!!! 💃 🎵
😀😆😂😃🤣😄 Shake it girl !!!!!!
this type of song should be in clubs and every where to dance to these days :)
Them whistles! 🤣
And "WOOOO 'S !!!!!
A Soul Train staple
Love the cheering at the beginning, this song was it!!! Brothers and sisters loved us some Bee Gees!!!!
These were the BEST years! I’m so glad I got to enjoy them. I miss those days so much!
Oh my God! PURE HAPPINESS.
So filled with Pure Joy at this moment
I love how they all just went for broke with their dancing. Everyone had something unique and interesting going on. I couldn’t truly appreciate the show when I was a kid, but I love seeing these clips now.
Now everyone at that moment just having good times and bussing a move......👍👍👍
I'm an old Bee Gees fan and I never understood why that there was a backlash against the brothers though their music was fabulous and even today still sounds great.
This is the grooviest TV show I've ever seen!
Just FURTHER proves that back then MUSIC was MUSIC & enjoyed by ALL
People make fun of The Bee Gees but they’re gifted songwriters and their beats are tight
💚
Really? I've never heard any one make fun of them. Why?
No one made fun of them.
Everyone looks like they're having so much fun!
Can't help but wonder if they knew that they were dancing to a trio of white boys from England. Love everything about this.
God i miss Soul Train. I use to watch this and American Bandstand every Saturday
What happened to the people after 1979?. They were amazing
We’re still here

In the 7os Soul Train was like the DANCE STUDIO...Then they did the line walk....Man EVERY saturday morning...DANCING.
Now this is culture.

Yes, it's Chris Benabeade or Beneby.
Yes me too,I also loved her short hair hairstyle,they were a classy dancing couple on the show,during those years.
I like them also
