Getting married to my highschool sweetheart tomorrow. 3 years ago when I got back from a trip where we both met this song was playing in my head as I was thinking about her. Came back to leave a note and make sure I play this as one of our dance songs. Life is beautiful.
One if my favourite all time songs! If you put this on and it doesn't make you happy, there is something seriously wrong with you. This music transcends all time 🌟
I grew up on this song listening to it with my granny and mother while they basically did everything to music. It takes me back to the place where I was happy didn't have no worries.. my mother is a phenomenal singer and her voice is like therapy to your ears and this song was one of her favorite songs that she song so that's what brought me here today 🕊️🕊️🦋🦋☺️☺️.. Cherish your mother while she still is here because tomorrow's not promised and death is inevitable.. Luckily we have music which we can use it as a tool to keep us sane, a keepsake in our minds as a memory and to bring others joy and happiness.. Rest easy with granny my old lady 🕊️🦋☺️.. Sorry you guys didn't mean to start rambling are not trying to be a Deb Downer but I just lost my mom to cancer 26 of January this year and my granny passed 3 months before that in October 7th from covid and this was one of their favorite song, I'm a triplet I can't really Express to my brothers my feelings because I don't want to trigger them into a nervous breakdown because even though I'm the youngest I'm the strongest and I really don't have an outlet or no one to talk to. My mother always told me it's better to talk to strangers because I just can't judge you because they don't have a pre perception of you so they're paying will be a genuine honest opinion and not bias so thanks you guys we're just letting me get this out. This is a beautiful song a very beautiful song ❤️❤️❤️ Miss music like this music that actually heals the soul 💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️😌😌
This was such a beautiful comment! God bless you!!! I pray that your in a better state now :) May your granny and mom rest in peace with the Lord. ✝️💖🙌🏼🤍🙏🏼🕊
It's interesting how the old music can put together different kind of people. From Harry Styles stans, RuPaul Drag Race fans that saw Alaska wining that lipsync and Jojo fans from Sono chi no Funky groove. I just love what music can do.
As a 15 yr old I listen to rap, pop, rock. And whatever type of modern music that hits, but my Gdad always had/has WDIA playing in his cars so I got a connection with these older songs to. No one sent me here, just wanted to hear it. Fine music
I know this song because of the DJ Breakbot. He taught me the classic of funk and soul music. I love it so much. Black Excellence! And I am white as can be! I don't care about race, but I have to give props. Black people know how to JAM!
A friend sended 2 links 1 this song and the other crazy noisi uncommon town I hear this the the other and i start having a stroke because a *JoJo's Bizarre Adventures* reference
When that bass line chorus hit in the middle of the song it was so satisfying 😊tho I was desperately needing Cheryl to come back to me with that roaring voice and save me like I was holding on to dear life and there she was to save me again words can’t even explain Ty Cheryl for this
Sameee I never grew up listening to disco because my parents are Honduran and they don’t speak English so even if they knew this song they wouldn’t know who sang it so I never knew! But that’s so cool how this went from a disco bop to a merengue ICONIC song 😂
I'm 26. I think my past life loved this music cuz I have no idea why I love such old music from 50s-70s... it's flipping amazing and I really needed this cuz I've been down. Thank you 💜
Well, you have excellent taste in music and I hope this song lifted your spirits. That's why I am here....needed to hear this song after this week! Blessings to you!
Everything about this song is amazing, the mix, the singing, the playing, the writing, top of the top notch, thank you God for this song to even exist in the history if the universe.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 How can you top this?
In some important ways I couldn't ever imagine this will ever be topped -- ever! :) This is what I call a "Yes, You're gonna' have to step aside now" song for what it's worth :D
This song is one of the best ever! It has Spirit, Soul, and Life combined; I was 10 years old in 1978 when this dropped and still feel the same emotion I felt riding in the back seat of my mother's blue 1975 Datsun B-210 on tha way to my weekly evening Boy's Scout meeting; life was so much simpler then 😊 Ps. I had no idea what the club life was then but I can imagine when this song played during that era the club was on 🔥🔥🔥
I was 18 when this Sind came out. We used to go dancing to this at the clubs. I laugh when you mentioned the Datsun B-210. Thanks for the memories. Stay safe
This song is so uplifting, and has a great groove. Now to musicians, a groove is a feel, and a feel is a good vibe and beat that is easily danced to for persons who have the rhythm of life in their spirit. Excellent motivator!
hell yea.... me too, lets pitch it to Simon Cowell... Soul Train Dad dance off... gotta beat watching other crap.. and I reckon others would watch and also be up for a giggle... lol , that green room bar would get dry quite quick, lol lol
I hate it when people said they hated disco,but you know all the disco clubs were turning people away,for lack of room.This woman was and is amazing...sing it,baby girl!
The problem was that the good music of the time got drowned out, *every* commercial, evert show, the radio, Disco Duck, disco products it was 100% pervasive. If there were a thousand good Disco songs not everyone knew that because we were getting a million of them shoved in our snouts 24/7.
This song bring back so many memories of waking up on Saturday mornings and cleaning the house with my siblings, everybody tried to hit that high note & failed miserably - then we would fall out laughing & start talking mess about how bad each other sounded!!! 🤣 This song is a classic gem 💎
I was in the 8th grade when this song came out and I remember it was all over the radio. It was played at all our school dances and sometimes before our basketball games. Such great memories it brings back!
Cheryl, surely made history with this "MILLION" seller. A time to be young, and in love. Cheryl brought joy to many of us with her soft and silky voice that are unforgettable.
Cheryl's fabulous voice is the perfect compliment to that colorful swirling disco orb and oscillating lights. That was the era where everything was in alignment and you looked forward to Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights at the discotheque and always wondering what new hit would be generated by the DJ on shift. That was clean wholesome fun then. Sadly, gone are those days but may they live on forever in our memories.
Absolutely no denying that at all and I'm the furthest thing from a black guy... the never ending dynasty of legendary Vocals groovy baselines and pure soul that spoke to generations and broke the divide thru music and inspired the best moments in youth and adulthood... evelyn King Whitney Houston the whispers patti Labelle Roger and zap Luther vandross truth be told that could never have been duplicated by another culture I'm just grateful to be able to enjoy it because it was shared with the world
Absolutely slamming fiunk groove with a powerhouse vocal and melody to match. Band so tight they had a 90-second instrumental jam in the middle of the song.
Ive heard this song about a million thanks to my mother, and not once have I listened with headphones...OMG I had no idea how amazing the individual instruments are 😳
Now this is music. The power is lyrics mapping out a lesson we can all take and it's accepted in love through music and real life. My mom brought me up old school and this is the first song I heard at 8 years old. One of her favorite songs. I love this song
Whenever I came across to this kind of music, I really want all the artists to know that your music have lived through time to me and all of the young people who weren’t even born at that time to discover them again.
Happy 62nd birthday to Cheryl Lynn, born this day in 1957, this massive club anthem from her debut 1978 album Cheryl Lynn, on Columbia records, with such an infectious groove its one of those songs that when that intro rings out, the dancefloor gets moving, a Caister Soul Weekender classic
What you find-ah What you feel now What you know-ah To be real What you find, ah (I think I love you, baby) What you feel now (I feel I need you, baby) What you know-ah To be real Ooh, your love's for real now You know that your love is my love My love is your love Our love is here to stay What you find-ah What you feel now What you know-ah To be real Ooh, your love's for real now You know that your love is my love My love is your love Our love is here to stay What you find-ah (I think I love you, baby) What you feel now (I feel I need you, baby) What you know-ah To be real What you find-ah (I think I love you, baby) What you feel now (I feel I need you) What you know-ah To be real (it's time to be real) To be real (it's time to be real) To be real What you find-ah What you feel now What you know-ah To be real What you find-ah What you feel now What you know-ah To be real To be real (it's time to be real) (It's time to be real) to be real (it's time to be real, it's time to be real) To be real (it's time to be real, it's time to be real) To be real (it's time to be real, it's time to be real) To be real (real, real, real), to be real
I remember driving around in my car in Baton Rouge, Louisiana back in the early 80s, and this song would come on the radio! It never failed to put me in an excellent mood# I'd always crank it up, hit the gas pedal, and move on down Florida Boulevard with a big smile and this song in my heart! This song is like a time travel machine, taking me back to Louisiana in the early 80s!

I live this type of music, its great to take a break from the rap and other modern music artists I listen to and spare some time for the classics
I agree because i'm here due to Harry Styles
Yee.. you too 🙌💯✌️
That´s right man!
Thank you
This is funk and soul. Everything is just right here. The rhythm, the voice, the perfect trumpets, its just a masterpiece.

I had moved to Chicago. The winter was cold and I would get up to this song on radio to gp out looking for a job. Such a great song. Love it!
beautiful. sounds like you had a great mom
I think it's impossible to hear this song without moving. So satisfying and feel good fun.
FOR REAL!!!!
It´s like watching those videos of rock and metal songs without headbanging. It goes agains nature and it can´t be good for you

Born in 88. 9 years after this song was made. 35 years old now and still impossible to skip this on the radio or playlists
Born in 1960. Saw her live in 78 when I was a teen. It's STILL my jam. And I CAN get down.
This women was ahead of her time with that lyric catch phrase. To be real. Sing sister..
She was and the song is very much of her time, such an overused and completely misunderstood phrase "ahead of there time" is
Cheryl Lynn has a powerful range. It gives you chills up your spine
This song is over 40 years old and it’s still a kick ass song. Whenever you hear it you gotta sing it.
exzisted longer thann most of the people here
Yup.
Uhh you mean more like dance
*shaking my awkward white ass*
More famous now than it was in '78! Cheryl Lynn, your time is now and forever after.
1978 was such a magical year for music!
Concordo, muita saudade.
Yes David the 70s and 80s were magic.............................
True !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...........
1978-1979 was one big Party! Gas prices were high, so was unemployment and the economy sucked. But we were having too much fun dancing to even notice.
It was. I was in 11th grade and the music just kept coming
Cheryl Lynn is the Queen of Diamonds ♦Happy Birthday to Cheryl Lynn Blessings and Hugs 👑💜

Yeah - you could set your clock by some of these incredibly tight classic funk & funky disco outfits. No need to check it.
This song is amazing!! No one sings this way anymore. I love it!!!
This is a criminally overlooked gem when it comes to classic soul. This is a gorgeous song.
26 million views and over 8k comments would tend to disagree that it's "overlooked."
This is such an iconic song. Heard it countless movies. The song is even more famous than the singer.
This song bring back so many memories of waking up on Saturday mornings and cleaning the house with my siblings, everybody tried to hit that high note & failed miserably - then we would fall out laughing & start talking mess about how bad each other sounded!!! 🤣 This song is a classic gem 💎
I was in the 8th grade when this song came out and I remember it was all over the radio. It was played at all our school dances and sometimes before our basketball games. Such great memories it brings back!
The basss is so nice!!!
xcarlos82 just wondering, are you a bass player?? Cause the bass brought me here, I want to learn this song 😂
xcarlos82 that's ray parker jr. On bass
clarence willingham David Shields on bass, Ray on guitar
That funk could be heard in japan!!!!!!!
*very wise*
A collection of some of the most talented singers,songwriters, and producers on this record!!
And musicians!
@@edd7812 Absolutely!! Ray Parker Jr, David Shields, James Gadson, and David Paich setting the tone!!
Cheryl, surely made history with this "MILLION" seller. A time to be young, and in love. Cheryl brought joy to many of us with her soft and silky voice that are unforgettable.
高校生のころ、バイト先の先輩に初めて連れて行ってもらったディスコ…
青春がよみがえるぅぅぅ！
One of my most favorite songs of all times🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Same here ❤
Cheryl's fabulous voice is the perfect compliment to that colorful swirling disco orb and oscillating lights. That was the era where everything was in alignment and you looked forward to Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights at the discotheque and always wondering what new hit would be generated by the DJ on shift. That was clean wholesome fun then. Sadly, gone are those days but may they live on forever in our memories.
Oh my God. What a talent!!!
Listen to this singer's voice!!! ❤❤❤
An absolutely funk masterpiece.. real funk real positive
This is honestly probably the greatest song of all time
Todays music cannot hold a candle to the 80's music. Todays youngsters don't have a clue of good music.
Music that just makes you smile and dance like you're on soul train
Love and peace to every human being on Earth but we black people are absolutely remarkable
Absolutely no denying that at all and I'm the furthest thing from a black guy... the never ending dynasty of legendary Vocals groovy baselines and pure soul that spoke to generations and broke the divide thru music and inspired the best moments in youth and adulthood... evelyn King Whitney Houston the whispers patti Labelle Roger and zap Luther vandross truth be told that could never have been duplicated by another culture I'm just grateful to be able to enjoy it because it was shared with the world
Yes, we are. And I love us.
Agreed!!
The Most ambiguous race of people.. we come in every hue,complexion,tone,melanin and non melanin,shade and hair texture features,tribe and culture.❤🎉🎉
@@nycopperwarrior9734 TESTIFY COPPER WARRIOR!!!!!!!! TESIFYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Timeless...Simply one of the best Disco songs created🎶🎶
Absolutely slamming fiunk groove with a powerhouse vocal and melody to match. Band so tight they had a 90-second instrumental jam in the middle of the song.
Ive heard this song about a million thanks to my mother, and not once have I listened with headphones...OMG I had no idea how amazing the individual instruments are 😳
Now this is music. The power is lyrics mapping out a lesson we can all take and it's accepted in love through music and real life. My mom brought me up old school and this is the first song I heard at 8 years old. One of her favorite songs. I love this song
What a Voice! She is so good, brilliant. Just impressive.
Essa música é eterna, a voz, o ritmo, tudo!! Anos 70 foram mágicos!!!A masterpiece 😍😍😍🎶🎶🎶
A senior friend drove me around our entire city with the windows down blasting this song and let me tell you, it really hits different.

Undercover Brother saving the day "I don't give a damn how sexy you think you are, floating down in your little pants!"
This song is featured in "Shark Tale" when Oscar became famous and rich.
Can anyone else tell me what movies that have this song in the movie?
@@adude8424 night at the museum the 3rd one i'm pretty sure
I got this song from will and grace, will dances to it in one of the first episodes
seriously one of the greatest jam of the late 70's ....
Whenever I came across to this kind of music, I really want all the artists to know that your music have lived through time to me and all of the young people who weren’t even born at that time to discover them again.
Pure funk - it makes me happy even after all those years! So much energy and enthusiasm, perfect song!
Going into 2023 still rocking away to this track. i think i was about 18 and this track ripped up the floors then and now.
I saw this lady sing live. She got some chops and she loves to party according to her.❤️
この曲を聴きながら、目的地も決めずに好きな人とドライブしたら凄く楽しそう♡それに...自然と（どさくさに紛れて）手を握れそう♡いや...間奏の時に握ってきてもらいたい（願望）そしたら赤信号になれぇって願う。（目をみつめたいから）やだやだ妄想がとまらない♡
The harmonies on "To be real" lawwd 🔥
Cheryl Lynn is awesome!!This song still works on the dance floor in 2023!!😍💝
My all time favorite oldie! Always gets me hyped

Daaammmnnn, the base line is killing👍👍👍
Happy 62nd birthday to Cheryl Lynn, born this day in 1957, this massive club anthem from her debut 1978 album Cheryl Lynn, on Columbia records, with such an infectious groove its one of those songs that when that intro rings out, the dancefloor gets moving, a Caister Soul Weekender classic
Oh my gosh! This song brings back so many memories of the NY club scene! Dancing 💃 to this; fun fun fun !!! Still love 💗 this song!
Love this tune! Takes me back the fabulous 70’s! (Or was it 80’s)? Ha ha!

@@rosalynfagan9234 omg this is a great workout song. immediately adding.
I remember driving around in my car in Baton Rouge, Louisiana back in the early 80s, and this song would come on the radio! It never failed to put me in an excellent mood# I'd always crank it up, hit the gas pedal, and move on down Florida Boulevard with a big smile and this song in my heart! This song is like a time travel machine, taking me back to Louisiana in the early 80s!
I live in Baton Rouge!!
@@robingautreau1290 Back in the day, early 80s, Baton Rouge was a heaven on Earth! Fun! Fun! Fun!
I was at LSU then, I used to play this tape till it fell apart!
