another great Aussie artist .John Inglis Young, OAM, known professionally as John Paul Young, is an Australian pop singer who is best known for having a worldwide hit with "Love Is in the Air" in 1978. His career was boosted by regular appearances as a performer and guest host on Countdown, a 1974-1987 TV series for Australia's national broadcaster ABC. Wikipedia
Your reactions are always great, but they are so much fun when a song has just enough of the right ingredients to make you smile and move! Beautiful! This is a song I haven't heard since am old radio in the late 70s. Thanks for the Thanksgiving smile! Best to you and your followers!
Song was written by Harry Vanda & George Young (ex members of Aussie 1960's band - Easybeats). George is also the older brother of Malcolm & Angus Young (from the band AC/DC). John Paul Young also sang this at the closing ceremony of the Sydney 2000 Olympics.
This Scottish born artist is seen by most in the industry as an Australian singer. Interesting enough this was John Paul Young's only top 40 hit in the US. In the United States, it peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard 100 pop chart and spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart. You're absolutely right this is a disco song for sure. The song plays at 122 beats per minute. The song won him the Australian King of Pop Award in 1978 for the Most Popular Australian Single for that year. A very talented performer and very under rated. No pun intended.
I just decided that I will only leave a comnent on a song I like! This one does have an upbeat 🪩 Disco beat and vibe! Like you said, when you're in love or in like, everything seems more profoundly intense! But I dread coming down from all those extatic highs! Maybe one day those happy emotions will last for a long 🌺💖 long time! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 you all! Bye!
Producer “Hey John Paul Young, do you have 15 minutes free time today ? Come to the studio. We have some lyrics for you, we have the music recorded already.”

Top 40 radio in the seventies was just great...how I miss it 😟
This is one of those uplifting 70s songs I remember well. What a great time to be in high-school and university with such music to fall in love to!
This is a happy , bouncy song from the 70's with a good sentiment.
Classic disco track, absolute perfection! Disco lives forever!
Definitely one of the most joyful songs of the 70s!
Great song takes me back to my teenage days
Great song, great reaction

I have seen him live a few times and he always puts on a great show
This was the jam. This was played on the juke box in the Post-grad student union building all the time when i was in med school
I love this song! I always have.
The year I graduated from high school. what memories.
I can't hear this without thinking of that great little Australian film "Strictly Ballroom".

You would love the movie Strictly Ballroom one of Baz Lurhrmann earlier films, they use this song at the end of the film.
