I'm 65 years old and was crazy about the club music of the day ( and night ' till closing time of 3am !!! ) and it still gives me goosebumps ! lt would rock your whole body when it was played in the clubs with huge speakers and color sparkles off thedisco ball floating all over the dancefloor and that deep base thumping beat ! l'm there ! we would spend 2 hours getting ready to go out to the clubs ! we all got along and we all had a ball !!!!!!!!
I'm 51, so I was like 7 years old when it went out and in end 80's early 90's we were having big parties in a friend's basement with like club's setting, big speakers, light show, smoke machine, backlight etc... and when we were playing that song all the girls were on the floor dancing, it was a huge hit every time... I really miss that time
I was 5 when this dropped. The record played on repeat in my house. She was so fabulous and beautiful to me as a little girl. I’m here for the nostalgia. The song is still a hit.
You have no idea what a huge song this was at the time. When they played this at discos, the whole dance floor would pack with dancers. It still sounds great. She was beautiful as well.
Ja, die fand ich schon auf der Kirmes mit meinen 12 Jahren super die Platte und die Frau hätte ich auch gerne mal neben mir gehabt :), jetzt bin ich 55 und habe mir die 12" Vinyl mal gegönnt. No War in Ukraine, Putin hear Musik und so kommt man nicht auf solche nicht vorstellbaren Gedanken :(
Her voice, her beauty, the way she moves in that dress and used her arms and jewelry...this is an amazing performance and perhaps the best jewel of the disco age. Everything about it is flawless.
@@nicolagebendinger I thought it made her look like a Vegas showgirl :) also, I'll bet headresses will come back in style in the next decade or so lol.
This genre of music always slaps so hard. I don’t understand how anyone can hate on funky upbeat disco. This type of music always puts me in a happy mood and then I wanna get up and dance. Shits good, man.
I think it's fair to say that not every genre of music appeals to everybody, and people are allowed to choose This track isnt amongst the highest on my list of favourites I admit, but it is a song a like, or I wouldn't be watching the video, but its choice and not everybody likes this kind of music
amen . . . .but for those of us old enough to have actually lived it . . .many of us developed a rather juvinile hatred of 'all things Disco' . . .in the name of Rock And Roll . . . .and then woke up rather recently to just how ripp ass good many of these songs actually were . . .with a healthy portion of nostalgia added to the recipe, it becomes a meal fit for a king.
Epic comment sir and perhaps one of the most on point and truthfully stated comments I've read in some time. Disco takes you away to a totally different zone of bliss. Music is truly a balm for the human sensory system
UPDATE: I AM NOW 65 my gosh! 65! I was 22 when this hit came up. Now I am 64. Was a fantastic time in my life. ...... Life is like the blink of an eye!
How is possible? Youre 44 minus 14, so This would be 30 years Ago, in the 90's but in the descriptions says that the tune came from 79 years, please don't tell me lies lol
@@tresestrelas386 You've got your math problems intertwined. OP said that the SONG is 44. 2023-1979=44. Also, if they were 14 when the song came out, then 44+14=58 tells us that OP is now 58.
What a performance! Is it just me, or is there something special in the way she dances? I can't define what it is, but how she moves is hypnotizing me. And yes, she has an amazing voice.
I remember seeing this for the first time on TV in the spring of 1979 when I was 16, at my uncle's place. Coolest (and trippiest) thing I'd ever seen in my entire life at the time. It's amazing how well this video has aged over the space of 43 years.
This is one time where the newer version of the song far exceeded the original. The original was a good classic R&B song but Amii took this song to a whole new level.
Then,I'm 65 years old and I've been looking for this song for a long, long time and I didnt remember neather the singer or the title and I didnt want to die without listen it again, now I can rest in peace.
Back in the day I used to work (and spend virtually ALL my waking hours on the weekends) at a disco. It was SO much fun and all my friends were there! Sometimes we'd go on break and we'd hear that Knock On Wood "triplet" beat (three drumbeats in the time of one beat) getting mixed into some other song and we'd all SPRINT for the dance floor because we knew it was coming, and we were willing to dance the 5 to 10 minutes until it finally DID get mixed in and become the primary song being played. Oh, how I miss those simpler, easier times.
Hey, I have a question. I was a kid when disco was big, and so I used to play this song all the time, Barbara Streisand, Donna Summer. A lot of them. Anyway, there was one really great song where there was a policeman’s whistle in the song, and I can’t remember the song. I thought it was a Donna Summer disco tune, but I can’t seem to find it. Do you remember the song with that whistle sound in it?
Do you say this for all people over 60 or too impatient find out like all the internet generation that have never opened a book or skimmed knowledge from social media outlets.
I know I commented already, but I just had to say also it's amazing how one woman can own your attention with just herself and her moves. Limited visuals, no back up dancers, low budget, but after 35 years it's still absolutely incredible still. I can't imagine what it was like for folks to be in the club with this, I would have just lost myself to the beat.
It was a pretty wild video when the song was first shown on ABC TV AUSTRALIA COUNTDOWN. Colour TV was still very new to Australia and this video had Lots of Colours and early special effects.
This was a classic back in the 70s and it's still a classic song today in 2024 this gives you a great feeling of real joy and happiness and makes you want to get up and dance as it's such a great song and this lady she has such a remarkable beautiful heavenly singing voice you can't help but love the way she sings she's a one in a million that I can truthfully say ❤️ 💜
Oh, yeah? Well I was 12 years old in a top "Ruta Hidalgo" Mexico City middle school at that time. My classmates in the nearby "vecindades" (small communal living) would throw disco / tropical parties. Mexican society has always been liberal af in some ways. We got down to this stuff and the parents joined in: Le Freak, Boogie Oogie, You Should Be Dancing, Disco Inferno, Dancing Queen, I Feel Love, Get Off, I Will Survive, Play That Funky Music, Fly Robin, I Feel Like Dancing, etc. But I had to go back to LA in 1981, right into the hair metal scene. 😎
Going to go check out Eddie Floyd 's original. I didn't realize this was an earlier song. I was born in 68 but always heard this on the radio back in '79.
I'm listening I love females Gott Damn N yes Peanut I had a girlfriend named Pebbles it a Philly thing N an Italian thing so from Philly with love Roman Justice Monaco ❤
I just discovered this song today... And oh my god! Im already addicted. Its so great and energetic, i just love it. It became one of my favourites. Brilliant!
There's not a lot about this song that dates it to pre-80s. It's impressive how forward-looking the composition is. And not to forget the absolutely KILLER vocals. I can only imagine what it was like in the studio managing to get such a flawless performance on tape.
Did you know this song was a cover of a song from the 60s? Eddie Floyd. I thought I'd mention that because the composition is even more forward-looking from that perspective - if that's what you mean by that phrase.
This is an absolutely awesome video made all the way back in 1979, people!! Amii Stewart's vocal performance is nothing short of stunning, and so is this video. She brought the fierceness all the way before that was even a term!! 💕
It did because it’s a flawless presentation of a moment in time - 1979 when disco reached its zenith and the combination of energy, music, and style was unmatched.
Love, love love everything about this video> The song, love it, Amii's costume, love it. Amii's hair, love it. The special effects, love them. Electronic beats, love them.
@@triciajohansen3027 Don't EVER be jealous of anyone else...Just always be the best and most beautiful you that you can be...Besides, she's probably old now and wears circus tents! 😂😂😂
I think of this song as a passing of the torch. The 1970's and disco are both "near death", and this song is at least one of the moments where the torch is passed to the sound of the coming 1980's.
This was a killer track n still overpowers any club anthem of today ... But even the instrumentals is outstanding... very good musicians, including the lead vocalist of coz... Well done Amii...
Seriously undervalued, and one of the greatest 'one hit wonders' of them all. It was one of the top 3 or 4 disco songs at clubs in the day, that EVERYBODY got up to dance for them, Funky Town, Heart of Glass and Disco Inferno being the others.
Reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on 4/21/1979. I can't believe that this is now 40 years old. Amazing voice, music and woman! I love this video. It's so simple yet so memorable
This is one of my favorite songs. I remember cleaning the house, and listening to wktu radio station in new york. I loved it. It had a lot of energy. I was very little when I first heard it. I got hooked on the beat, and those vocals. The word is wow.
cant believe this is 1979. what a classic.

Time ages better with love, and i think thats the entire message of this song. Im over 98 years old and life went by quicker than you could imagine
disco era was the best music, this was one of the greatest, bring back this great dance music, exciting
I just discovered this song today... And oh my god! Im already addicted. Its so great and energetic, i just love it. It became one of my favourites. Brilliant!
Anyone agree that 70’s & 80’s music is the best 👍
PAWStively
Everything up to 95, after that music started catering to the post crack generation. I can’t relate.
I'd say it's very genre-specific. Some genres have evolved into something I enjoy more and others have just fallen apart.
and 60's too!
Throw in the 60's and you got a deal.
There's not a lot about this song that dates it to pre-80s. It's impressive how forward-looking the composition is. And not to forget the absolutely KILLER vocals. I can only imagine what it was like in the studio managing to get such a flawless performance on tape.
Did you know this song was a cover of a song from the 60s? Eddie Floyd. I thought I'd mention that because the composition is even more forward-looking from that perspective - if that's what you mean by that phrase.
Who remembers 1979?
This, off the wall by michael jackson and prince self titled were all released in 1979
All great albums and rip to both of them 😢
Me perfectly
Yo, 79 en francia fue el año dónde murió Mesrine, en esa época el disco era la música lider con funkytown de lipps inc
Era la época de música realmente increíble como esta joya
Back when the Warriors Came out
This is an absolutely awesome video made all the way back in 1979, people!! Amii Stewart's vocal performance is nothing short of stunning, and so is this video. She brought the fierceness all the way before that was even a term!! 💕
A talented lady one camera and a monitor in front of each other some crazy reverb echoes and psycodelic misc effects = pure gold.
Damn if this didn’t age like fine wine.
Oh yes.
It did because it’s a flawless presentation of a moment in time - 1979 when disco reached its zenith and the combination of energy, music, and style was unmatched.
Love, love love everything about this video> The song, love it, Amii's costume, love it. Amii's hair, love it. The special effects, love them. Electronic beats, love them.
One of the best songs by one of the best singers of that era. Still grabs me every time I hear it
She looks like a superhero. Gorgeous voice, beautiful woman.
Great figure, I am so jealous!!!!!!
What a Frikkin' HAMMER...Wow
@@exposedpipes37 we shall call her Thora.
@@triciajohansen3027 Don't EVER be jealous of anyone else...Just always be the best and most beautiful you that you can be...Besides, she's probably old now and wears circus tents! 😂😂😂
@@exposedpipes37 thank you for your encouragement, Peter, that means a great deal. I hope the best for her as well. No circus tents!😎
Oh, Lordy, we danced to this AAAALL night long at Backstreet, in Atlanta! Soooo, many memories!!!❤🎉🎉
I love how you can hear the origins of 80s synth pop in 70's disco. This is a perfect example.
Definitely. Disco was so unpopular after 1980 in the US. It came back disguised as synth pop!
I think of this song as a passing of the torch. The 1970's and disco are both "near death", and this song is at least one of the moments where the torch is passed to the sound of the coming 1980's.
@@EddieMillerStudios video killed the radio star and pop muzik is the torch passing
One of the most catchy disco tunes in my opinion. Great one both then and now.
Could you imagine a duet with her and Grace Jones?? The stage couldn't handle all that goddess power!
I was thinking the same thing!!
OMG!
I just fainted thinking about it.
Oh my that would be exceptional
What an amazing song! I have always loved it. It lifts me up and carries me away! ❤
The bass on this is slammin, as well as Amii's voice.
She can sing. Whoever engineered the sound is a genius
The way this beautiful woman flows is AMAZING.
E chi mai la dimenticherà!!!! Bellissima
She was absolutely beautiful. Still is❤️

1979 what year for music
Agreed.
This was a killer track n still overpowers any club anthem of today ... But even the instrumentals is outstanding... very good musicians, including the lead vocalist of coz... Well done Amii...
Even as a kid I knew that this was going to be a classic
The ''Goddess'' of Disco!
And to top it off, she's a NATURAL BEAUTY 💜
Seriously undervalued, and one of the greatest 'one hit wonders' of them all. It was one of the top 3 or 4 disco songs at clubs in the day, that EVERYBODY got up to dance for them, Funky Town, Heart of Glass and Disco Inferno being the others.
As a Retired Sound Engineer?!? -
This was TOTALLY "ahead of its time"! - FACT! -
LISTEN to those DRUMS !!! - OMG !!! - YES !!! lol 🙂
Thank you for your skills.
@@judsonleach5248 Yes. Like thunder, lightning the way we love her is frightening lol
@@zacharyuhl7818 She so fine !!
@@zacharyuhl7818Knock" on wood!😂😂"..
I remember seeing this video on TV in the 80s when I was a kid. I always liked this version of the song and was enchanted by the video.
Electrifying. Keeps you rocking in motion. Loved dancing to it in the clubs. ❤❤❤
Социализм + электрификация🎉
Reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on 4/21/1979.
I can't believe that this is now 40 years old.
Amazing voice, music and woman!
I love this video. It's so simple yet so memorable
Wow thanks for the info I’m taking a trip down memory lane collecting classics songs my parents grew up on this was one of them.
Honestly this is one of the best tracks ever recorded! It's fecking sublime.l... OMG that Bass with that Voice and anyd the synth!!
A loud disco hit,late 70's.
Yes,a real disco classic.
This is one of my favorite songs. I remember cleaning the house, and listening to wktu radio station in new york. I loved it. It had a lot of energy. I was very little when I first heard it. I got hooked on the beat, and those vocals. The word is wow.
KTU no longer plays Amii Stewart.... probably did when they first switched to 103.5... but NOW... they just play CURRENT CRAP.
They still played old songs in 103 on saturday evenings. But that was a long time ago.😊@@CreesNostalgiaHut
