You have just experienced REAL R&B! This song came out in 1977 and yes, during the famous skating rink days. They sure don't make songs like this anymore.
I always loved watching the choreography. It was just class. We had some of the best music ever. The 60s 70s some of the 80s the greatest just the greatest. RMR love your reactions.
So smooth, so clean, so pure and right to the point. Laid his cards on the table and told her how he felt deep in his heart. No other words were needed.
Beautiful song from the 70's....a time when men groomed their long hair or Afros and then came punk and everyone spat at each other...but bands and songs like this lasted till the 80's till the dawn of the teeny boy band and the stampede of hip hop took over and things have never been the same since. 🎶🇬🇧🇺🇸🎶
First time watching you I just had to see your reaction to the floaters singing one of my favorite songs I remember back in the day I was doing just that off of that song (baby making music) I'm glad you liked it, you are so funny 😂
This was the 1970’s love song that you got the girl of your dreams on the dance floor for the the last dance of the night and many a family was started listening to this song and absolute beauty from 1977. I’m now 66 and still listen to these fantastic 1970’s classics.
Your assessment of this song and comments at the end were spot on, especially about how someone would sing this song today! Their moves were smooth and classy, very reminiscent of Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - the group that launched Teddy Pendergrass, who you should check out doing "I Miss You", "Hope That We Can Be Together Soon", "Bad Luck" and "The Love I Lost." (They also did the original version of "Wake Up Everybody.")
I think we all had K-Tel or Ronco LPs back then ;) A cheap way of having at least 20 hit songs from recent charts... I still have some. 'SUPERBAD' was my first by K-Tel in 1973 or 4...
I remember my parents playing this song as a kid. I loved Larry because we have the same sign, plus, he was the coolest! Ha Ha. That was released in 1977... back when astrological signs were very popular on the dating scene!!
This song will be a bop another 45 years from now. Just a great great record. This is an awesome idea, even if I'm familiar with a lot of the content. You bring me back to a lot of songs I grew up hearing my parents and older relatives listen to at get togethers and parties.
Yay! You did this too! While I watched Strawberry Letter 23 I wondered if you'd done it. Another youth center dance tune!! 💜🎶💜🎶💜🎶💜🎶💜🎶💜 Float.....float on
Loved your smiles throughout this fabulous tune and great choreography. How can anybody not smile when listening to this song. It really does make you feel like you’re ~ floating ~…
I'm so glad there was a video for this! There's a long version too, about 12:00. "Cancer...and my name is Larry.." Cheech and Chong did a parody of this song called "Bloat On" that's worth a listen :D
Hey how's it going? I remember buying this song as a single (in 1977, I just turned 17,lol!) The song is just as good now as it was back then.Thanks for playing it. Brought back some good memories!
yep, I remember that song. such a mello relaxing song. back when music was music. except for disco. I wasnt into disco. check out a song called rock the boat. forget the name of the group. 60's and 70's had a LOT of good tunes.
Everytime I hear this song I think of that episode of Fresh Prince when Jazz and Jewel got married. They were coming down the aisle to this song. Classic!
They used to be called the Detroit emeralds they're from Sojourner Truth projects Detroit Michigan this song came out 1977 when I was 7 years old I am now going on 49 but I know the song very well
My Friend. If you like *The Floaters.* Check out: *New York City* - I'm Doing Fine Now (break up song that your mom probably played this one hit wonder from the 70's). Definitely Motown's "The Four Tops": *Reach Out, I'll Be There* *Keepers of the Castle* *Ain't No Woman Like the One I Got* (Great for this time of the year 💝) *Are You Man Enough* from the movie *Shaft in Africa* (The third Richard Roundtree Shaft movie).
MRM...... Only the long version should be played....this is only the back half. One of the smoothest recordings of my generation and very very underrated. It does Float on! Amazing. Keep this going you are keeping real music alive.
Motown sound it came out in the early 70s this where the Jackson 5 the group singed with Motown and then other group follow the whispers, the Floaters, and Manhattans
I was young when I was listening to this and it was put out b4 my time but GOOD MUSIC is smooth to the ears...smh still non close to compare now a days. Another GOOD ONE😎😎
Coca Cola lol MRM loving your expressions and skits :-D The song is from 1977. It reminds me of working in my first job when I left High School. I was turning 17 then. This was their only big hit here in the UK. Don't know what happened with them after.

You got that right! I'd go back in a heartbeat ❤

Music like this will never be made nowadays, gotta appreciate this even more ✊🏾
So smooth, so clean, so pure and right to the point. Laid his cards on the table and told her how he felt deep in his heart. No other words were needed.
Danced to this in the late 70s at many school dances, This was their biggest hit. we need to hear some The Gap Band with Charlie Wilson..mmmmmmm
I love this song.
I miss the 70s synchronized dancing.
I always loved this song. They all had such great voices!
I prefer the *11 minute version* of this song the best.
+kevin the truck driver Me Too.
Not me, loved the Floaters style.
I'm with you! It's the smooth groove. Timeless!
Yes! Such a tuuuuuune

Amen x
The Floaters were so smooth. When I was a kid, I wanted to either be a Floater or a Pip. Loved all that soul!
Released in 1977. I was like 10 when this came out and I've loved it since.
I was 14, this was one of my favorite's.
Omg one of my all time favorites!!! At work my friends and I would seriously die when he says, CANCER, My name is Larry!!!
OH OH.....Your Mom would certainly remember.....Rose Royce.....Love don't live here anymore....PLEASE react to this
Workin at the ''Car Wash''..lol or ''I wanna get next to you''
Remember the car wash dance we'd do??
Youngster your reaction is priceless. Yes we know them too.
First time watching you I just had to see your reaction to the floaters singing one of my favorite songs I remember back in the day I was doing just that off of that song (baby making music) I'm glad you liked it, you are so funny 😂

Love this song
This is a new one for me. Before this reaction, I had never heard of this group, or song before. Loved it!
Those cats were cool and smooth back then, and that was not so, so long ago, my how things change.

Yup, it registered... Floaters were the bomb.
If you liked this, try one by the O'Jays called Forever Mine
Forever Mine is a Great song
I knew you'd like the falsetto of Charles. he and Larry are my favourites on this. good reaction Ty. : )
Thank you my friend..reminding me of school discos...and the Teacher with a 12" ruler to make sure you don't get too small.
YOU ARE SO CRAZY! LOVE THAT SONG! IT CAME OUT IN 1977 WAS VISITING MY MOM AND MY SIBLINGS! COOLIDGE AVE TRENTON NJ....🎼🎶🎵🎤🎧🎵🎶🎼
I do remember that song. I think I had it on a K-Tel.
I think we all had K-Tel or Ronco LPs back then ;) A cheap way of having at least 20 hit songs from recent charts... I still have some. 'SUPERBAD' was my first by K-Tel in 1973 or 4...
Wax version of a mixtape. I often buy those compilations at thrift stores.
This is so cheesy, I love it, will have to be Larry for me 🤣 I'm old enough to remember this 😁
Angie Fountain Cheesy is the perfect word. Not many lyrics just a breakdown who the performers "floating". Love It!😂
King Floyd - Groove Me is a great older soul/funk song I think you'd like if you enjoyed this song.
gyloir That’s a good one.
Gyloir great choice!
This song came out in the late 70's, but I didn't hear until the early 80's. It's still one of my favorites.
Same and I only heard a few times and loved the song first tim i heard it.
That was their only hit in the 70's when horoscopes were popular and this song was very popular.
Thank you so much for playing my song. Me and my buddies would sing this song all the time. Looking forward to tomorrow!
They are all describing me!! So they can all have me!!! 😂🍷🌹❤️
one of my favorite groups!! Float On!!
You're cracking me up with your looks lol, hey forgot about the intro's, Paul's not too fussy about his women lol
I truly enjoyed watching you enjoy this song. I had the exact same reaction when Charles started. I put my hand up in the air.
Omgggg the JAMMMMM!!!!!!! THEY WILL NEVER MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS AGAIN!!!!! 👀💘🙏🙏
Im in my 50s. I remember this song. The Floaters was very famous and this song was #1. !! Music city. Tennessee 2022
I remember my parents playing this song as a kid. I loved Larry because we have the same sign, plus, he was the coolest! Ha Ha. That was released in 1977... back when astrological signs were very popular on the dating scene!!
Love this song I’m a Cancer to I cruise to this song all the time Larry is my favorite!!
Another one of those soul classics from the late 70's. Boy, you can feel the vibes and depth in their voices. Great song guys, thanks for the video
This song will be a bop another 45 years from now. Just a great great record. This is an awesome idea, even if I'm familiar with a lot of the content. You bring me back to a lot of songs I grew up hearing my parents and older relatives listen to at get togethers and parties.

Float.....float on
One of my ALL TIME favorites!
Happy to see you discovering new music…
There's a song called "Love Land" from 1970 by Charles Wright that you should give a listen to.
MRM, you are hilarious! Love your comments and reactions!
Loved your smiles throughout this fabulous tune and great choreography.
How can anybody not smile when listening to this song. It really does make you feel like you’re ~ floating ~…
all four could sing on their own they are that good.
Mr. MRM, you better float on - I thought you'd like the Floaters. There were previously 5 floaters, beautiful love song, don't make them any more.
Charlies with his fine self--this is one of the smoothest songs of all time
That's all they knew was to SANG...YASSS❤
These guys were smooth.!! Different honest times, great memories. I was 15 yrs old.
I like the younger generation appreciate our times.!
I love your channel! You are the complete package in so many areas. Thank you!
They performed at my high school in Brooklyn. They were great!!
I'm so glad there was a video for this! There's a long version too, about 12:00. "Cancer...and my name is Larry.." Cheech and Chong did a parody of this song called "Bloat On" that's worth a listen :D
Welcome to the 70s!!! The best decade .... I'll say it again ... The best decade of music!
I love this song, brings me back. The cheesy video is just a plus. Old school soul music, I miss it
same here.
I've been listening to this since I was a kid in Detroit
Love youngins seeing and hearing our music
Man did you reach for this one.
I do remember it however. Some serious belly rubbin on the dance floor music.
I wish more of the young generation would experience more the old school cultures!!!
Gosh, haven't heard this song in such a long time, I miss those amazing songs
I am almost albino white and i LOVE the groove of this song. It speaks to my soul.
You crack me up...lol
Libra and my name is Charles. What a voice.
OMG I haven't heard this since the mid 70s
There was one group that did "Float On", but had the guys doing a rap in place of the talking.
Libra and my name is Sukie.. that was such a thing back then - telling what your astrology sign was..
Crikey, takes me right back to smooching at the end of the night, love it. Do they still do slow dancing any more ?
I love watching these young bucks reactions to this lost talent. Lost forever.
Hey how's it going? I remember buying this song as a single (in 1977, I just turned 17,lol!) The song is just as good now as it was back then.Thanks for playing it. Brought back some good memories!
I love their voices and their tight pants 😂🤣😂
You're awesome for this!
Beautiful song i was about 8 when it came out. My mother loved this song. It was just such a nice time for music people and everything.
yep, I remember that song. such a mello relaxing song. back when music was music. except for disco. I wasnt into disco. check out a song called rock the boat. forget the name of the group. 60's and 70's had a LOT of good tunes.
I graduated in 1979. That song played at a lot of school dances. It was heavenly!!
Pure soul.
Everytime I hear this song I think of that episode of Fresh Prince when Jazz and Jewel got married. They were coming down the aisle to this song. Classic!
They used to be called the Detroit emeralds they're from Sojourner Truth projects Detroit Michigan this song came out 1977 when I was 7 years old I am now going on 49 but I know the song very well
Tinha que fazer a legenda para o brasil para saber o que esse cidadao comenta de um dos melhoras grupos da mais linda melodia.
Ty is absolutely right ... that's exactly how the song would be sung now.
My Friend. If you like *The Floaters.*
Check out:
*New York City* - I'm Doing Fine Now (break up song that your mom probably played this one hit wonder from the 70's).
Definitely Motown's "The Four Tops":
*Reach Out, I'll Be There*
*Keepers of the Castle*
*Ain't No Woman Like the One I Got* (Great for this time of the year 💝)
*Are You Man Enough* from the movie *Shaft in Africa* (The third Richard Roundtree Shaft movie).

It does Float on! Amazing.
Keep this going you are keeping real music alive.
