oh yes it was just huuge. And deservedly so. The big band sound, the vocals, the bass guitar. Just brilliant and catchy af. Even hearing it now makes me wanna dance at 62 years of age
If I've heard correctly wasn't this like the first Disco hit, wasn't it?......I remember a documentary about Disco and I remember this song being a big deal because it was the drummer that came up with what they called the 4 on the Floor drum beat, which was for 4 beats per measure with the base drum (the floor pedal) drum and prior to that almost every song was beats on 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 ...but that 4 on the floor was 1 2 3 and 4, and that really became what made disco distinct from RnB was that 4 beats per measure.
I just went down a mini youtube rabbit hole because I couldnt remember exactly, but this wasn't the first Disco hit but the drummer's for the Tramp's name is Earl Young, and he is credited for inventing the four on the floor beat pattern (as it was used in Disco), and there's a clip on RUclips "Earl Young Explains his Revolutionary Disco Beat" and the man himself explains it.....and damn what that man can do with a set of drums
Oh, man!! I was going to make a similar comment. Listening to this song again reminded me how you still hear so, so many of these beats yet today. But, hey, if it works-- DON'T CHANGE A THING!!
That is absolutely true. From House to Hi-NRG to a lot of Techno to today's beats, it all has its origin in that 4-on-the-floor, metronomic seventies disco beat. You tell some people that and they disagree, but it's true. Seventies disco was the first "beats per minute" music.
This was included on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. In the clubs they would play the longer version of this song and we did indeed burn up the dance floor dancing to this fun song on our platform shoes.
I was a kid during the height of the disco era. Some of the greatest, happiest music ever. I think y’all would like “Get Off “ by Foxy and “Knock On Wood” by Amii Stewart .
Me too! Love Ami Stewart's 'Knock on Wood', Thelma Houston's 'Don't Leave Me This Way' and Vicki Sue Robinson's original version of 'Turn the Beat Around'.
That bass line, those horns, the soulful lead and great harmonies, those late guitar licks. Probably one of the top 5 disco hits ever, and proof that so many disco songs were also just great songs
Didn’t have to worry about getting shot at the discos back then. I’m 69 years old and I always dip back into my bag of music from the 60’s thru the 90’, Good Times for All.
You are right Amber, we sure knew how to have fun! I was 20 years old in 1978 and enjoyed both the Disco sound and Rock. This song just sums up the disco era for me! I was out on those dance floors Jay, having the time of my life! It is so much fun to see you guys appreciate the music of my generation! 😊
Right with ya. I was 21 in 78 and spent many, many hours on the dance floor! We had a friggin GREAT time! After disco went kaput here in the states, the USAF sent me to England,then Germany and on to Turkey where disco never died. But I don’t know if it’s still popular today as my time in Turkey ended in 93….then it was back to the states. Party On!! Cheers
A MONSTER Disco hit by the Trampps...on the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack! I can still remember seeing that movie and hearing that song in 1977! Great memories! Thank you for sharing!
Oh this takes me back to the late 70"s and early 80's. Disco gets such a bad rap, but dancing back then was just amazing!! This was one of the best in my opinion!!! Thank you so much!!!! ❤❤❤❤
One that I used to tear up the floor with: Thelma Houston: "Don't leave me this way." (single version) (HQ Audio) One heck of a dance song and excellent vocals!
Yes we did!!!!! WOOOOHOOOO! I burned that dance floor up!! What a fun time we had in that era!! It was the best. And this song was a blast to dance too! 🎶 YAAAASSSSSSSS!! 🎶
I was about 18 at the height of disco. We used to wear beautiful dresses and the guys wore suits. The clubs had dance floors that lit from underneath. What a blast! I danced with 19 guys one night, no strings attached, because dancing is what we came there for. One club had rock upstairs and disco downstairs, and the floors were connected with a big spiral slide. What a hoot! When you heard the opening to this song, you made a beeline for the dance floor!
When I did my funeral plan, I put this song down for the song I wanted to be played when I get cremated. I have always loved this song so I want to dance my way out and I can't think of a better song to do it to. Thanks for your reaction, guys. Take care and be well. Peace.
66 years old, and I enjoy this music as much as I did when I was 16. It WAS the best! I feel your sincerity, when you make comments. I like watching you both.
They won an Academy Award Oscar for this song being part of the award-winning soundtrack from the movie "Saturday Night Fever (1977). Note: 1. Stayin' Alive. 2. Night Fever. 3.More Than A Woman. 4. How Deep Is Your Love. 5.If I Can't Have You. 6.You Should Be Dancing. 7.Jive Talking. All these songs are Bee Gees songs used in the movie "Saturday Night Fever." "More Than A Woman" was performed by the group Tavares and the Bee Gees in the movie. "If I Can't Have You" was performed in the movie by Yvonne Elliman.
So, I was about 22 years old in the early 80's. I graduated HS around '78, so disco was right there. I mean, I/we had the polyester shirts, pants, and platform shoes. Not too big. But, let me tell you, this song was one of THE most popular song in the dance clubs. So, we had a local restauranteur who had a few restaurants with lighted, colorful floors that people could dance on. It was great. But, yeah, this song along with many others are still played a lot in stores and coffee places. KC, Donna Summer. Yup!
I am still a bass player and I totally agree.👍. Slapping and popping and funky as hell. I was in my early to mid teens when disco hit. Always loved it, but as an aspiring rock and roll guitar player... had to say I hated Disco.🤣🤣. I think that came from the first Van Halen concert that I saw in 1979 when the band happily engaged the audience in a chant of disco sucks! Hilarious stuff.
I simply can't believe ANYONE has never heard Disco Inferno! It's one of those songs that's on every playlist at every party, wedding, club and occasion I've ever been too and it gets every generation on the floor! I am shocked and stunned and not a little amazed🤣
I'm a hard rock/metal guy but I love any song or music that makes you shake your ass and dance like a crazy fool like this song does. Long live Disco!!! It's all about letting loose and having fun. De stress people!!!
I turned 18 in 1978 and at that time 18 was the legal drinking age. I loved Disco and met a lot of beautiful women at the clubs, I had the platform shoes and the shirts with the huge lapels, it was time of my life.
Y'all would also like a funk disco group called Heatwave that was popular about this time, mid- to late seventies. Their biggest dance hits were "Boogie Nights" (1976) and "The Groove Line" (1977), but they also sang some popular ballads, and they're another R&B group from "across the pond," from the UK.
Okay… The second time when the lead vocalist screams “Saaaaaatisfaction!” That just melts my platform shoes right off my feet. The funk was flamin’ in the clubs and on my stereo.
Mine too! I am usually looking at him as he is singing that part and saying out loud while I am smiling, Sing Man! Every single time I hear it. It's phenomenal.
Even though the disco years didn't last long those few years were fire. The disco floors were unreal. This song was in Saturday Night Fever. This was the ultimate disco movie. Just to travel back 1976 to 1981.
Studio 54 was open in the early 80s, but dance music started around '73 with Barry White and Love Unlimited, until "81-2. By then it was getting more synth-y like Yazoo with "Situation", less disco-y. @@alrivers2297
It began as a creation of the Black and Latin LGBT dance scene. Disco’s first big star was trans Sylvester and his backup singers- Two Tons of Fun ( later the Weather Girls) “ You Make Me Feel Mighty Real”!
In 1973 the weekend started on Thursday night and ended Sunday morning. We used to cruise from one bar/nightclub to another, dancing and drinking. It would end Sunday morning at a diner. I was 19 and I am thankful.
Oh those disco days! This was my anthem for a full year out of the 3 years I frequented the discos in Cincinnati. The feeling this song brings back is overwhelming but so incredible. It's a shame you two can't travel back to see and experience the sights and sounds of those days. Those memories will forever be with me.
Hey Jay, that was my life back in the day!! I had the fever for disco so much I was teaching disco classes! This is real music with no tracks and incredible talent! I still can throw down and I'm in my 60's and we set the standard for partying Amber! 🕺
C’mon who DID’NT get up when this track came on, the whole floor was full and strutting. If you were lucky enough to live during that time the memories are amazing. ✌️
Disco was an insane movement. This is the greatest disco hit of all time. Amazing arrangement. You had to squeeze to get on the dance floor. Thank you, John Travolta.
I'm not sure if you've heard it or not, but another great disco hit was "Turn the Beat Around" by Vicki Sue Robinson, from 1976. It was covered by Gloria Estefan in the late 80s.
The Towering Inferno was a popular disaster movie at the time. The Twin Towers in NYC were still new, and a movie about being trapped in a major high rise fire hit the zeitgeist perfectly. This song trailed right on that train and became an instant hit.
I feel like I am in Groundhogs Day every time you play Disco, I was out dancing almost every night & this was one of my favorite songs to dance to. The best time of my life
It's burnin' from the top! Thumpin bass, rhythmic high hat and the classic beat. If you want to know where that roof started on fire, it started right here 🎶🎶🕺
I would love to go back in time, and take you two to Chicago’s best club …… The Bistro. ….. it was huge, and had a stainless steel dance floor that wore out in 6 months! Of course it had gogo dancing boys, and a great light show and sound system! In Chicago, it was open til 4 am Monday -Thursday, and 5 am in Friday & Saturday!! It was the best. When Elton John and greats like Barry Manilow were performing in town, the Bistro is where they went after!! Too much fun! I’ll save a spot on the dance floor for ya! 🥂😜💃🏻
Jimmy Ellis the lead singer gave it so much soul and grit to all their songs, sadly he passed away a few years ago from Alzheimer's. A true gem of a singer. Another fantastic song by The Trammps is called. Where the happy people go.
I just laugh. Their grans were getting down to this song. One of the most iconic disco songs. Everywhere this was. Roller disco dont forget was hot stuff too. Jammin on roller skates. Nothing like it.
I am so happy to hear you young folks embrace Disco! During the late seventies, I was a teenager. Your understanding of the culture and tastes which prevailed during that era accurately reflect much of what I saw and heard. This song from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack was emblematic of the late '70s culture. Disco.... Yaaay! Continue with the great reactions!
No matter how they trash Disco , they had great bands making great music and making people dance and be happy was what it was all about !! And yes I would absolutely do it all over again !! 🤘
Love this song so much. When this song came on at the disco, I was ALWAYS inspired to get up and out on the dance floor, even if I had to dance by myself! This song had the BEST bass line EVER for dancing. Many thanks to The Trammps!!
When I walked into the disco with my white shoes, my red, white, and blue pinstriped high waisted bell bottoms, and my white silk shirt with the top 3 buttons undone and my gold coke spoon and chain around my neck.....it was party time!😂🤣💯❤️✌️
Trammps keyboard player Ron Kersey wrote this song with Leroy Green. They were inspired by a scene in the movie The Towering Inferno where a disco 🪩on top of a building is on 🔥🔥🔥fire. /_🔥_\\( °-°)/_🔥_\\ MOTHER ⬇‼
I was taken to see that movie by my parents in 1974 and I was only 6, they couldn’t get a babysitter 😂 the lift hanging off the skyscraper kept me out of lifts until I was 15 !
Just to add that here in the UK , popular disco bands were Heatwave with Boogie Nights written by Rod Temperton ,who went on to write Rock with you and Thriller for Michael Jackson.Also a group called Imagination who had hits with Just an Illusion and Flashback-both good to Boogie to.
Wide collars, open neck, bright colors and bellbottoms. Had the 3-piece polyester, and yes, light the floor and spin the mirror ball, baby! Thanks for the memories ❤
I agree THIS is some Funky Disco! Is there Anyone Who DOESN'T want to get up on the Dance Floor when this song starts? Not that I'd do it justice out there... :) Love It!!! I can imagine both of You Guys Out There In The Day Using Up ALL Your Energy! Great Choice! :)
You two are so cute. I used to teach disco dance lessons in the 70's in Kansas City area. This was a main tune I used. We were all getting our John Travolta's on.
I’m such a pushover for the horns. Love to see a dozen guys on the stage just jamming. KC & the Sunshine Band, Earth, Wind & Fire, the Dazz Band…good times.
Guys,you just needed to live in the 70's because we had the best music,the hard rock of Zeppelin,Aerosmith,Rush,Boston,Bad Company,etc,AND Motown,AND funky disco!🎶👊
I was about 11 when Disco was at it's peak and I cannot express to you how infectious this music was. I my 6th grade class our PE period was learning the Hustle! Best party music ever!
I "couldn't get enough" of the grit in Jimmy Ellis' voice! Being a classic rock lover, I tried not to like ANY disco! But there was no denying the infectiousness of this song , and that funky bassline. And yeah Amber, we did know how to party!😉
One of the few disco tracks that stood out from the many for me. Great vocals, great bass, great horns etc. Most disco was boring and repetitive for me
The Trammps took y'all to church with this one. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE...
DISCO WAS WONDERFUL!
You know…..1977-78 we’re the best times ever! The clubs were off the hook and the floors were packed.
This song was everywhere when it first came out.
This was a gigantic Disco hit. You could barely get a spot on the dance floor. The most incredible experience ever!
oh yes it was just huuge. And deservedly so. The big band sound, the vocals, the bass guitar. Just brilliant and catchy af. Even hearing it now makes me wanna dance at 62 years of age

50 years later, and this song can still rock a party….
Y'all ain't ready for the full disco experience! Disco never died. It became the beats of all dance music of today. That bass is where it's all at!!!

Knock on Wood by Ami is awesome!
Absolutely Amii Stewart. She needs to be on the Female Friday line up. Knock on Wood would blow their sock off.
I have these two songs amongst many on one of my playlists. Such fun music.
Me too! Love Ami Stewart's 'Knock on Wood', Thelma Houston's 'Don't Leave Me This Way' and Vicki Sue Robinson's original version of 'Turn the Beat Around'.
Get Off was one of the staples of my childhood! Guaranteed to get the party started!!!

Hey Jay, that was my life back in the day!! I had the fever for disco so much I was teaching disco classes! This is real music with no tracks and incredible talent! I still can throw down and I'm in my 60's and we set the standard for partying Amber! 🕺
C’mon who DID’NT get up when this track came on, the whole floor was full and strutting. If you were lucky enough to live during that time the memories are amazing. ✌️
I never understood why disco had a backlash. They did it big and they did it well.
Another great “funky” disco song was Kool & The Gang’s “Open Sesame”.
Disco was an insane movement. This is the greatest disco hit of all time. Amazing arrangement. You had to squeeze to get on the dance floor. Thank you, John Travolta.
I'm not sure if you've heard it or not, but another great disco hit was "Turn the Beat Around" by Vicki Sue Robinson, from 1976. It was covered by Gloria Estefan in the late 80s.
Love to hear percussion!! 🎶
I used to Love dancing to that 💃 🕺 ❤
I love Gloria's rendition!!!
Just imagine when we went to discos in the 70's we had these songs for HOURS!! Just the best music to dance to EVER!
The Towering Inferno was a popular disaster movie at the time. The Twin Towers in NYC were still new, and a movie about being trapped in a major high rise fire hit the zeitgeist perfectly. This song trailed right on that train and became an instant hit.
I feel like I am in Groundhogs Day every time you play Disco, I was out dancing almost every night & this was one of my favorite songs to dance to. The best time of my life
This was all over the clubs in 76.
Always loved dancing to this song! Will never be a time like the Disco era!
It's burnin' from the top! Thumpin bass, rhythmic high hat and the classic beat. If you want to know where that roof started on fire, it started right here 🎶🎶🕺
I would love to go back in time, and take you two to Chicago’s best club …… The Bistro. ….. it was huge, and had a stainless steel dance floor that wore out in 6 months!
Of course it had gogo dancing boys, and a great light show and sound system!
In Chicago, it was open til 4 am Monday -Thursday, and 5 am in Friday & Saturday!!
It was the best.
When Elton John and greats like Barry Manilow were performing in town, the Bistro is where they went after!!
Too much fun!
I’ll save a spot on the dance floor for ya!
🥂😜💃🏻
Such a fun song! It was great listening to this kind of music when I was a kid.
Jimmy Ellis the lead singer gave it so much soul and grit to all their songs, sadly he passed away a few years ago from Alzheimer's. A true gem of a singer. Another fantastic song by The Trammps is called. Where the happy people go.
The Trammps' song 'That's Where the Happy People Go' was another hit in mid 70s! One of my favorites as a kid.
I just laugh. Their grans were getting down to this song. One of the most iconic disco songs. Everywhere this was. Roller disco dont forget was hot stuff too. Jammin on roller skates. Nothing like it.
I am so happy to hear you young folks embrace Disco! During the late seventies, I was a teenager. Your understanding of the culture and tastes which prevailed during that era accurately reflect much of what I saw and heard. This song from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack was emblematic of the late '70s culture. Disco.... Yaaay! Continue with the great reactions!
1977 all the way
No matter how they trash Disco , they had great bands making great music and making people dance and be happy was what it was all about !! And yes I would absolutely do it all over again !! 🤘
Amber said it all!!! Nothing compares to those dancing songs!!!! 🙏♥️😘
Love this song so much. When this song came on at the disco, I was ALWAYS inspired to get up and out on the dance floor, even if I had to dance by myself! This song had the BEST bass line EVER for dancing. Many thanks to The Trammps!!
What a boogie-fest!! Have a Thrilling Thursday!!
When I walked into the disco with my white shoes, my red, white, and blue pinstriped high waisted bell bottoms, and my white silk shirt with the top 3 buttons undone and my gold coke spoon and chain around my neck.....it was party time!😂🤣💯❤️✌️
"I did not think yall's generation knew how to party..."
You're so adorable, Amber. You couldn't handle a '70s/'80s party. 😂
70s party right here ............ the 80s were not even in diapers yet lol
Around this time, late 70s, Sister Sledge (He's the Greatest Dancer) and Chic (Le Freak) were class IMO.
Trammps keyboard player Ron Kersey wrote this song with Leroy Green. They were inspired by a scene in the movie The Towering Inferno where a disco 🪩on top of a building is on 🔥🔥🔥fire. /_🔥_\\( °-°)/_🔥_\\ MOTHER ⬇‼
What I remember most about Towering Inferno was that everybody and their cousin was in it!
Now, that's a neat fact.
I was taken to see that movie by my parents in 1974 and I was only 6, they couldn’t get a babysitter 😂 the lift hanging off the skyscraper kept me out of lifts until I was 15 !
@@snowbirdlady8496 cost so much two film companies made it.
Now it just makes me think of 9/11 😢
Just to add that here in the UK , popular disco bands were Heatwave with Boogie Nights written by Rod Temperton ,who went on to write Rock with you and Thriller for Michael Jackson.Also a group called Imagination who had hits with Just an Illusion and Flashback-both good to Boogie to.
Thanks L reed, you know their history better than I do, I just loved their funky sound and Rod Temperton's songwriting.
It was a great time for music for certain. As always, Amber’s reactions are genuine and insightful. Thanks for your work.
Wide collars, open neck, bright colors and bellbottoms. Had the 3-piece polyester, and yes, light the floor and spin the mirror ball, baby! Thanks for the memories ❤
I agree THIS is some Funky Disco! Is there Anyone Who DOESN'T want to get up on the Dance Floor when this song starts? Not that I'd do it justice out there... :) Love It!!! I can imagine both of You Guys Out There In The Day Using Up ALL Your Energy! Great Choice! :)
You two are so cute. I used to teach disco dance lessons in the 70's in Kansas City area. This was a main tune I used. We were all getting our John Travolta's on.
I’m such a pushover for the horns. Love to see a dozen guys on the stage just jamming. KC & the Sunshine Band, Earth, Wind & Fire, the Dazz Band…good times.
💯%!!!!
It was a great time growing up in the 70's and 80's, they don't make music like this anymore. Fun fun times.
These were the most amazing songs to dance to.. everyone just wanted to dance.. everyone got along and enjoyed the music ❤
Used to roller skate to this as a kid. Loved this song. Then rappers delight came out alll riiight!
Guys,you just needed to live in the 70's because we had the best music,the hard rock of Zeppelin,Aerosmith,Rush,Boston,Bad Company,etc,AND Motown,AND funky disco!🎶👊
It was better to be a kid in the 70's. the best times of my life!
I was about 11 when Disco was at it's peak and I cannot express to you how infectious this music was. I my 6th grade class our PE period was learning the Hustle! Best party music ever!
Your faces when that customer hit those raw notes!!!! PRICELESS!!!!!
I "couldn't get enough" of the grit in Jimmy Ellis' voice! Being a classic rock lover, I tried not to like ANY disco! But there was no denying the infectiousness of this song , and that funky bassline. And yeah Amber, we did know how to party!😉
One of the few disco tracks that stood out from the many for me. Great vocals, great bass, great horns etc. Most disco was boring and repetitive for me
Cyndi Lauper has a killer cover of this song from the 90's. This one really shows off her range.
