"THE GROOVE LINE" LYRICS
Pack your grip, takin' you on a trip
Ain't no seats, all we got's dancin' feet
Leave your worries behind
'Cause rain shine, don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight
Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh
Catch this train know you'll be glad you came
Hit the track party hard there and back
Leave your worries behind
'Cause rain shine don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight
Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh
Check out the wheels a turnin'
You know we won't stop
We got this boiler burnin'
We're keepin' it hot
So grab your friends, get the train comin' thru
Climb on board, where you leave's up to you
Leave your worries behind
'Cause rain shine don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight

We're ridin' on the groove line tonight
Ooh Ooh
We can ride
Rain shine don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight (repeat and fade).
SONG/VIDEO NOTES
This extended mix features keyboard whiz Rod Temperton on an expanded instrumental section. Harmoniously, you can hear Eric John's beautiful rhythm guitar chords in this section. Music to the ears.
Technically, “The Groove Line” is classified as a disco song. However, its sophisticated R&B funk sound sets it apart from most of the ubiquitous, redundant disco music of the late 70s. Instead of a dreamy jazzy intro like "Boogie Nights", Rod Temperton's genius chord progression is utterly apparent as the song begins with a synth intro that pulsates on the eighths, like a freight train in motion chugging along. I love the intro - so much so that I extended that pulsating synth then added four crash cymbal rolls before moving to the sizzling hi-hats. I also added an 808 sine wave roll-off on the first 3 kick drum hits that sounds great with subwoofers. Turn it up and wake the neighbors!
At the time, synthesizers were new and really evolving - being integrated more and more into popular music with complex arrangements using multiple keyboards. The beauty of Rod’s synth melodies and the spirited complementary vocal harmonies of the Wilder brothers was unmatched. Keith sang with an aggressively masculine edge, while Johnnie had a feather-light smooth touch. He just looks so happy when he sings! Johnnie's falsetto reigns throughout the song, handling tricky chord changes during the chorus with ease.
The drummer, Ernest "Bilbo" Berger, an underrated Jazz/Blues drummer from Czechoslovakia, is one that I list as one of my most influential funk drummers of the 70s. Here he executes a sixteenth note/semi-quaver pattern on the hi-hat that keeps the song grooving. On the chorus he switches to a swing-ish 'double-tap' quarter note close/open hi-hat pattern, that I play with my left hand (open, not crossed). His 1977 Ludwig Vistalite concert toms, perfectly tuned to the notes of the song, were bright and punchy. Barry Blue did a superb job of recording the drum track and mixing them prominently up front in the mix. I tried my best to do justice and match that tom and overall sound in this video.

Yup, he did the damn thing. The dude is just plain out raw. Bravo...
That’s a BadAss White Boy right there !🔥✊🏾✊
A lot of bad ass white boys. Neal Peart, John Bonham, Keith Moon, Phil Collins...need I go on?
G Mama Bear no Sir.., I grew up with all that! You’re preaching to the choir.🤘🤘🏾
He's the reason this made my playlist that i walk to every morning
SUPPER BAD he could have been wonderful with the FUNK BROTHERS.
@@gmamabear3619 tommy lee.

The funk is strong in this one.

I agree!
You are better each time I listen and I am doing a lot don't ever stop playing
I concur
So pleased to say original Heatwave drummer is my family member🙏Amazing Bilbo from Czechoslovakia❤
Ernest Berger 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 very amazing drummer. As a drummer myself I’ve always admired his work and style.
The original drummer of Heatwave is probably the funkiest drummer of all time. No lie. I'm a musician and grew up listening to Heatwave.
The First song I learned as a Bassist was Boogie Nights.
I'm also a lead singer. People can't tell me and Johnnie Wilder apart as Singers.
O,wow he is amazing... they were a very diverse group.
How did he learn funk in Czech land?
When Heatwave first came out I always thought he the best drummer I've ever heard. My brother wrote a songs for Zapp & Roger Troutman. "Computer Love" " I Wanna Be Your Man" "Slow & Easy " etc.
Brother man holding it down on the drums
No chit
I always come back to this page to hear this song
HES A MONSTER ON THE DRUMS,WOW😛
This was the jam back in the day
U are not lying!!!!!❤️💯
His name is Alan badia and he's been playing the drums for a long time. He kills it on the drums.
He's no joke
This Dude ROCKS!!
Mr rod smiling and heatwave
2024 had to come back, excellent job sir!
That's a man who completes his tasks. Congrats
Nothing better than a drummer who sits in the pocket, doesn't overplay, and nails it like the record. Bad ass.
Thanks!
What a great tribute to one the most underrated drummers, Heatwave's Ernest "Bilbo" Berger.
He was so great!
Poor Ernest criminally underrated even in their videos.
Always loved how he played especially off the To Hot Too Handle and Central Heating albums. RIP.
@@alexrosales1175 when did he pass?
I agree 💯% , unfortunately he wasn't in a lot of the videos . Most drummers get quite a bit of camera time but it didn't seem like they wanted show him because of his size . Just like C& C Music factory
This has to be one of the most bad ass drum lines ever in recorded history of funk Jazz Disco and this white boy has it down pat !!!...so much soul and drum fills I love his high hat work and it gives me gives the chills .
Man you killed that song
Thanks! I love playing it.
absolutely flawless and on point..this cat is a total badass on the drums .. I blown away..two thumbs up
Now that's what I call a true professional drummer this dude can get down
Trust me, dude IS Pro
The 70's was one of the greatest era in American music !!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely!
Yes it was, and I played in band with music like this, great times!!!
Most definitely!! ✌🐢
I would give everything up today to get everything back then!!!!
just can't say enough about this dudes playing straight up BADASS!!

I've been hooked on this era of R&B since the mid-70's. Can't shake it. Don't want to!
The drummer 🥁 is on point 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You are good I enjoy listening to you hurt those drums
As a lover of drumming since I was 6 years old an still to this day aged 60 it's a fantastic instrument with so many dynamics how couldn't I love your video.!? You keep on bro 🥁👍😊
❤❤❤❤❤❤SOME GOOD DAYS
I'm 44 years old and the first song I ever danced to was Boogie Nights by HeatWave. But on another level...I never thought in a million years that somebody would actually do Groove Line this precise. Your drum skills are amazing.
Thank you, Wesley! Been playing this song on drums since it came out.
zerodefectmachine Ummm... that seems impossible! You look MUCH younger than this song. ✨
This is a phenomenal example of why old school disco music still matters!
Got that right!
LONG LIVE OLD SCHOOL DISCO FUNK!!!!!! 👍👍🏆👍🏆👍🏆👍🏆👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s amazing!
He is jammin on the drums and not slacking on them cymbals either
You know- I,ve been wathcing this clip for 3 years, and this is the first time I've ever thought to tell you how much it means to mean. Im an ICU nurse and have dealt with all the things during covid. This was what I have watched over and over to- bring me down- deal with it-try to live my life, try to bring me back to humanity. Its like meditation for me. A happy place. Your drumming is hypnotic and spot on, you deal with it all and make it better than it probably ever was to begin with. I really cant express all this has meant to me, and how many times I have drowned in your perfection, while trying to deal with everything else. So, just a heartfelt, Thank You.
Thank you for being a nurse
Thank you!
I feel the same way, it's like a meditation for me!
God bless you and all much love glad your' e here,glad you're there for us thank you
Good on You Wendy.❤

But there were 3 soul tapes. Barry White. Parliament Funkadelec, and this albumn....My new USED car... Became known as ..." The Groove Line"....Great memories ❤😂❤❤...And thanks for your service .

Very outstanding performance bro!!!👍🏽
Actually Ernest "Bilbo" Berger is the original drummer from England. He added the jazz sound to Heatwave. He passed away September of 2019 . He was a heck of a drummer that did not get enough attention . We Love You Bilbo
Very under-rated. A master of his craft and he deserves all the credit, RIP Ernest Bilbo Berger.
I can’t stop watching this guy play drums!!!! Makes me wanna learn this!!!!! So damn AMAZING!!!! 7:35
Is it me or does the LOOK ON HIS FACE says I'm killing this?😎😯👍😏
Thanks, that is real right?
He almost started sing but caught himself.
Love it!
"FIRE" All the way!
This guy is awesome, the drums are tuned perfectly, I've seen this video before and still impressed. 🖤👽
Thank you!
It's mid March 2019. I was stationed in Germany when this came out; appreciated the groove then and even more now because not only can you hear that most funky drum beat but seeing this very cool drummer with his equally cool sunglasses and driving gloves is extraordinarily smooth:-) 5 out of 5 stars........................
this band was stationed in Germany too
The drummer is a sight to see.
Right☺️
Sensacional 💥💫
Are you kidding me? Heatwaves Grooveline?
I love it. FREAKING AWESOME. Keep up the killer work.
This is one bad ass white boy…DONE!!!
I CAN'T STOP PLAYING THIS THEME!!!!! 😊

Hey Angela, I was a teenager when it came out and started playing drums to it at school dances as a one-man band show.
@@zerodefectmachine WOW! THAT'S AWESOME!!! THANK YOU! YOU GAVE ME THE CHILLS!!
You don't get better than this. I bet I have watched this 50 plus times. I love disco, am 58 years old and a musician. Maybe that is why?
You are indeed one awesome drummer! I have always had such high respect for drummers. They always seem to be so unnoticed. Keep up the great work. Groove Line has always been one of my all-time favorite songs. You did an wonderful job! Much blessing to you! Peace.
This is the best music ever. No hate just living life.
We did it! 5 MILLION views! Thank you to EVERYONE over the years for your support of this great song and keeping Heatwave alive and well. Cheers!
Hey there, you are really an awesome person of talent. Watching you play took me back to junior high 77-79 when I learned to play clarinet in the band and continued til 11th grade. There was a kid named Jimmie Morris learning to play the drums and all my other classmates learning to play their instruments as well. It seemed as though I was learning each instrument as they learned theirs like the different positions of the trombone, the valves of the trumpet, french horn and tuba, keys of the flute which my sister played. I have great memories of my wonderful band teacher Mr Raymond Settle and I can still remember all the names of my classmates and the instruments they played. Just watching you play took me to one of the few good parts of my childhood cause I got pregnant at 15 and after that all I could do was survive for me and my baby,graduate high school in 1982 and then college in 1992. Thank you for this . PLEASE BE A PART OF MY LIFE and respond.
U made it look so easy and a whole lotta fun. Thanks, I would have paid $50 to see it live!
Dude you're the reason I come on here! Bad Ass Man. I could imagine you playing instead of the real drummer man! No disrespect to the ogs that played the drums for these songs, but you're that good!
I think I've listened to it about 50.
Congrats and cheers!! 😎
This guy is one hell of a drummer❤❤❤
Monster. On top of perfect tempo your drums sound unbelieveable. Why the hell are you not a star. Crazy great. Much props.
I know, right!
He is one he was 1 the day he was conceived
Just discovered my autistic 6 y/o is a natural drummer, and he loves this video too 🥰🥰🥰 (he’s always my baby though ❤)
You have more views than Heatwave does but I love how you show respect and include the group in your video.
With total due respect, Heatwave was the bomb.
Noce set, straight on point. You represent a time, talent and art when drummers were really drumming.
@Bobby Royal, your right he represent a time of talent and art.
Dude, with only ten days to go until you hit the five year mark on this, congrats on the views, reviews and talent that went into this. You took a great song, and introduced it to new generations of fans. Hope this has brought you further success in your career and life. You should be proud.
Hey, thanks for that. And yes, I've met a TON of new music lovers and great people because of this video. It transcends time. Young and old dig it. I hope it keeps on going. And the next one, Boogie Nights, will be even better.
You know that brother peace and chicken grease aka cowboy 54 lima ohio
You keep real music i love that and you will allways have a fan 54 cowboy lima ohio.
Oh yeah!! 👍👍👍 Tremendous work 💪
