This is one of the main transition songs from disco into vocal house music. 4 to the floor. The relentless 4 4 beat with a heavy bass and a vocal top paved the way...
Originally recorded (and co-written) by Eddie Floyd back in 1966. Also recorded by Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, David Bowie, Buddy Guy and Eric Clapton among others. The movie "Road House" also featured this song with Jeff Healy and actress Kathleen Wilhoite.
This song was Amii Stewart's one and only #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song also peaked at the #5 spot on the Billboard Disco chart and it peaked at the #6 spot on the Billboard Soul chart as well during the early summer of 1979. A monster of a banger song indeed!!!
Hi Angela 😊 wonderful reaction to Amii Stewart's Knock On Wood😊👍 This song was all over the radio as we were cruising and listening😊 It sort of has a techno beat... very catchy 😊 On the Boogie Meter I will also give it a four for a great sound and very danceable 😊 Have a great day and bye 😊👍
There's actually a much better video of her dancing and she's an absolute knock-out!!! Glad you chose it and liked it. A favorite of mine. Take a look at the other one. She's not in a costume , but a dress and heels!! A know-out like I said. This is a 5. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
The original version (1966) written by Eddy Floyd and Steve Cropper is stellar. Aretha Franklin did a killer version in her live show. The song is a show stopper.
And Sinitta's mother is British Singer Miquel Brown, who is famous for 'So Many Men, So Little Time". He didn't produce Sinitta but he was the boss of her record label. Sinitta was produced by Stock, Aitken & Waterman, just like Dead or Alive and Divine. He suggested a song to her with a bad title, and he wouldn't let her change it so it cost her sales of that song" GTO" only reaching #34. After that her singles charted much higher.
@@lamusiclover2264 Actually Sinitta's mum came from Canada. Miquel was convinced by Ian Levine to move over here to further her singing career. Along with Evelyn Thomas, Earlene Bentley, Laura Pallas, to name a few, at the height of the Hi-Nrg boom. Sinitta was born in Seattle, although grew up in the UK after her Mum relocated. Miquel's step sister Amii was also persuaded to move to Europe to further her music career.
@@Soulspinner001 I know all of their music. All the Ian Levine/ Fiachra Trench stuff was very popular in gay clubs in the US. You'd never hear it in the radio or a straight club here, except "So Many Men . "
This is one cover of many, many covers. Song came out originally in 1966, written and performed by Eddie Floyd. That's the one I heard as a teenager. Give it a try. I think you'll like it. As I said, there have been lots of covers. Thanks! God bless you!
This one is ok, and not my favorite! I realize it's a cover, or remake, however you want to call it! She's a beautiful lady and has a great voice, and I don't know if she had other hits! Boogie meter 4! That knock sound gives me the creeps because it reminds me of the movie The Fog which came out sometime in the late 1970's I believe! Bye you all!

Begin 80th years … ❤😊😂🫶👉💪👈💋👅😉☺️😊😇🥰 -very nice reaction!!! 😘👍🤝
AHHH The Disco Era! This is one of those songs that the Girls would jump up and Start Dancing WILDLY To!!
This song hit #1 billboard hot 100 top 10 on soul and disco charts in 1979
I don't know what the Summer of '79 and all of the 80's would have been like without Amii Stewart

I LOVE KNOCK ON WOOD!!!!! One of my favorite disco songs a definite 5 for me!
I thought the song and Amii were amazing when this came out.
Still do, its an absolute banger!
She was absolutely stunning
ALRIGHT!!!! OKAY!!! Iam quilty!!! I had a crush on Amii !!!Thank you for making me feel good today. " Yall better move that Rocking Chair"!!!
There wasn't one person that DIDN'T run to the floor when this came out. I wore OUT my 12" of this back when this remake came out in the 70s!
Wow, i haven't heard this song in a long time. Thanks for sharing.
An all time favorite of mine!! Iconic!!💯💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻🙂👍✌️
The last two songs made me beeak out my rollerskates and head to Skatetown USA!
That movie was terrible but I was on roller skates at the roller disco ALL THE TIME then. LOL

😊😊😊 Great Cover
I have this album and its actually a pretty good LP. She is a very talented vocalist.❤
This was originally sung by Eddie Floyd. I was 16 in 1979 and heard Amii’s version first.
Great song choice!! “Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough” by Michael Jackson is another incredible dance song from 1979.
Amii was beautiful & talented
I always rushed to the dance floor!!💃
10th grade when this came out. She's still on my playlist, dug the powerful base and her sceaming voice. A solid 4! Glad she made your review!
Love this version
This is a solid 4, ma'am.
Minimum
4.5
Great pick! And loved seeing you get into it❤
Got to get up and dance with this song.
I have never seen video for this song. It makes me love it more, Amii is amazing 😀
I'm loving the disco kick you've been on lately! 🕺
"Pillow Talk" by Sylvia Robinson would be a great 70's dance song obvious choice
The 70 and 80s was the best time ever.
Ridiculous headpiece aside this song was fire. This was so popular back in the day.
Another huge hit was Electric Avenue by Eddie Grant.
When I first saw this, I thought she was the most beautiful creature I've ever laid eyes on!
Me too!
I remember this on the radio a lot. First time seeing the video though!! 😅
Roller rink music. ❤
There's actually a much better video of her dancing and she's an absolute knock-out!!!
Glad you chose it and liked it. A favorite of mine. Take a look at the other one. She's not in a costume , but a dress and heels!! A know-out like I said.
This is a 5.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Jam!
Amii’s voice was the sound of 1979 ❤️ when living the moment…. All these songs were “5” 🔥
💕 Angela.
Not sure if it's mentioned below but not an original. First recorded by "Floyd" in '66. Best known version by far.
If you like this then try ERUPTION. I can't stand the rain 🌧️❤
This is a Eddie Floyd cover but this one is more upbeat and I like both versions.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😃
decent song from that era and genre. sounded good in the clubs.
👍👍💯❤️❤️🔥🔥
For a disco song, this one was a good driving song, especially the long remix.
The original version (1966) written by Eddy Floyd and Steve Cropper is stellar. Aretha Franklin did a killer version in her live show. The song is a show stopper.
simon cowell was a producer to a british singer named sinitta.
she is amii stewart's niece.

My grandma had this record, the costume scared the hell out of me😂😂
Wait, your grandma had her own costume for it?
@@ts4them if she did I would have run screaming.
@@mztweety1374 😂😂😂
If it came on the car radio you would turn it up
You should check out two of her other big hits Light My Fire, a cover of the Doors song and probably her biggest hit here in the 80's, Friends
Can we get some funk? Need a break from disco!
Parliament.
One of my favorite covers of that era, although Eddie Floyd's original is, for me, the real classic.
I was thinking a 4.
You are very hard to please.
Try this one: Live It Up by the Isley Brothers.
If you keep still during that,then I’ll eat my hat.
4 for me..
Anybody else first hear this on the Warriors video game?
This is a good cover version of the Eddie Floyd song. More lively than the original. 'Friends ' is another good one by her-Colin Ward
Must be too busy to add hearts to the comments?
This is one cover of many, many covers. Song came out originally in 1966, written and performed by Eddie Floyd. That's the one I heard as a teenager. Give it a try. I think you'll like it. As I said, there have been lots of covers. Thanks! God bless you!
I don't understand. you don't read comments? You forget were you started? just wondering....
All the best songs are from 1979, true story 😅
(Even though this a cover 😊)
Lots of energy. She's got vocal chops to be sure. Still, I prefer the original by Eddie Floyd.
This one is ok, and not my favorite! I realize it's a cover, or remake, however you want to call it! She's a beautiful lady and has a great voice, and I don't know if she had other hits! Boogie meter 4!
That knock sound gives me the creeps because it reminds me of the movie The Fog which came out sometime in the late 1970's I believe! Bye you all!
I've always thought Amii was far too talented to be just a one-hit wonder. Either drugs got in the way, or she simply refused to sell her soul.
