    Around 1979 a neighbor I worked for who ( and I went to school with his daughter), was a millionaire,and hired a band to play at his home in Vicksburg Michigan for his business associates company gathering. We lived on a dirt road and 'Ron' lived on the inside corner. It was a home built into a hill w/solar pool and the works. I was riding my bike by and heard them playing this song! I was so disappointed that I wasn't invited for all the hard work I did for him. I knew this song before I heard it playing in front of his double 4 car garage and it will live on with me for ever!!! My #1 go to song!!!!!!!!!! To this day I always wondered if it was Wild Cherry! It wouldn't surprise me cause Ron could afford anything he wanted. Good times!!!

    IMO, the greatest Disco song of all. It had it all. A funky beat, played by a great band, a great story line of how he learned his lesson that day and a writer and lead singer who definitely believed in this song. Horns telling and bass thumping, there is no other song from the disco era that can touch it. It reminded me of a gospel song in the way it told the story and that played in to the disco, which had a gospel feel.

It's a song that'll never go away, one for the record books! I first heard it back in 1977, in college in my boyfriend's dorm room in Indiana, he had the album, still remember the first time I heard it.
