    This song takes me back to our holidays as a kid. Driving down to Newquay, Cornwall, UK. Stuck in traffic but happy to be going to the seaside! Played this song over and over in the car. LOVE IT! It’s summer, sunshine, love and happiness! ❤️❤️

    This song was co written and performed on by Harry Wayne Casey (KC) and other members from KC and the Sunshine Band, and is one of my favorite tunes of the early to mid 70's,. I remember walking around listening to this on my portable AM FM radio as it was constantly on the airwaves. What a feel good song that was at the forefront of the Disco scene.

    I remember sitting my room, listening to this song on the radio when it came out. I wasn't a fan of disco, but it became one of my favorite songs of that era. Hard to believe that was already half a century ago.

    When I think of disco in the 70s I think of this song 3rd. Right behind, 1. You Should Be Dancing by the Bee Gees and 2. Love Theme by the Love Unlimited Orchestra w/ Barry White.

    This song was massive in the UK in the 70's. Just another example of how black artists influenced my early years, (Motown, Jonny Mathis, Nat KIng Cole , The Jacksons especially) through my teenage years (the Philadelphia Sound, Disco Etc)

    I was 10 years old when this song came out in 1974 , i was instantly in love with the song , was a big hit here in Europe , here in the Netherlands also. George lives now for years already here in the netherlands( part of the year ) , about 10 kilometers from here , and part of the year he lives on Aruba in the Dutch Antilles . He married a Dutch woman long time ago.

    I grew up in this era. I remember this song, and the one that is considered by many music historians as 'the first disco hit', 'Rock The Boat' by The Hues Corporation.

    I love this song, it reminds me of my youth...
    ...in 2013, lol. I had a summer job cutting grass and every time we sat in the car the "oldies" station (music from the 60s to late 80s then) was playing, and one of the songs in constant rotation was this, and it just makes me happy.
