That refrain ("Leave your worries behind, 'cause rain, shine..." etc.) is just about the best melodic line I have ever heard. I will never get tired of this song.
At 38 yrs young. I’m here for those lines! Going through some tough times and I didn’t know why I kept hearing this beat in my mind until I found myself here !!
As an Iranian American who came here legally, I was so blessed with this song and still enjoying it today. I’m always leaving my worries behind all thanks to Heatwave. Thank you for this amazing song🎉🎁🎉🙏🔥✝️🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌈🌈🌈🌈
The year was 1978, I was turning 21 and 5 days later I gave birth to my beautiful daughter. Such an incredible time!! Disco was Hot smoking and was awesome! Good times, trying times or so we thought.. How many miss good music like this in 2023? I know I do.
This song solidifies the point that ROD TEMPERTON is here. Temperton went on with Quincy to do Michael Jackson, George Benson, Chaka Kahn, Herbie Hancock, and others. His career suddenly ended and everyone was aghast! I, personally, heard it in you, Rod Temperton, in Boogie Nights, the hit preceding this Grooveline! Am still in shock about your passing. You made some jams. Just read the 1,000's of comments. R.I.P.
heard this song for the first time the other day at the grocery store. the bass line is what drew me in. shazam'd it and listened to it like 5 times now.
In 1978 I was 18 going on 19 in August. Disco was still the thing and Heatwave was my #1 favorite group. They are still one of my favorite groups be ALWAYS AND FOREVER.
Always And Forever was used as a wedding song for many friends and family for more than 15 years. When my wife and I were married in 1986, our wedding song was A Ribbon In The Sky by Stevie Wonder.
I was 15 when this song came out, just loved this jam, still do decades later. Listening 2 it makes me feel like being @ home again😊 Old school nvr dies.
Hi Lauren, wasn't that the best of times? I wore through 2 pairs of skates and loved every minute of it! You stay groovy now...catch ya on the flip side!
Consider yourself lucky no matter how old you are now. you lived through the best of times. forget the internet and all this garbage, those really were the best of times.
Yeah, I'm getting freaking old too. Was in grocery store yesterday and this tune came on while I was in frozen food section. I just stood there and enjoyed it as it sounded good then. Still sounds good today 44 years later. Damn I miss the 70's.
"Got to be good looking, because he's so hard to see" is definitely the God's honest truth. Very truthful, yet creative in every way, indeed. Good music for the ears, heart, mind, and spirit ❤
My sister and I also loved this music she's also gone now maybe they're riding the groove line together and having a blast and someday we will join them! Much love
I was a white teenager when disco music had it's day. And let me tell you it spoke to me as much as any other genre of that time. I still listen to it if I want to feel good or get "picked up."😊
I first heard this song on the radio around 1998 when I was about 15 years old. I was _STAR STRUCK_ I tell you. 🤩 Heatwave and Earth, Wind, and Fire are *PURE EXPERIENCES* that cannot fully be described. I *LOVE* listening to the layers of their music. They always calm me down after a difficult day at work. 🥰
I'm so hung up on this song! I just discovered it in someone else's play list last night and I've been obsessed since then. It's such a beautiful song, so well performed, it has harmonic and melodic complexity, but it's fun too. Wonderful.
If you like Groove Line you'd probably be interested in Rod Temperton's other hits: Thriller, Rock with You, Off the Wall, Lady in my Life, Give me the Night, Stomp, Yah Mo B There, and not to mention his own band's Boogie Nights, and Always and Forever. For a Brit, he sure had a lot of soul. :)
That intro is everything! Those instruments and drums were played by "REAL PEOPLE" no auto-tunes or machine made!! That drum flow and base line is TRULY fire🔥🔥 Thank God that was my era!!! Yazzzzz🔥
I remember when they came out and I still enjoying them today. Dance in the rain 🌧 people, don't focus on what's wrong. Be grateful for what's right. Peace to all and walk through life in spiritual peace.
This white boy loves this music. Memphis. I grew up on the right side of the tracks. haha, who didn't? I love my brothers and sisters of a different color. God loves us all. Peace to all. This beautiful song applies to US.
I had a blast at the 8th grade Junior High School dance. That's when the girls had a revelation. They noticed me on the dance floor. All the glory goes to this song. I remember on Monday in school, I was that guy 😊
I heard this from Freaks and Greeks and it hooked me. The guy doing a disco dance to this while others play Dungeons and Dragons. That baseline 😲😲😲❤👍👍👍
My dad used to listen to this when I was a kid in the 90s. I'm so glad I was brought up on awesome music. This song is still just as good in 2020 as when I first heard it!
78 Summertime....It’s the weekend and time to go clubbing...Time to leave your worries behind....This song was my party song..tore the dance floor up on this tune 💃🏽PAAR TAAY!!💃🏽
Born in '64! 57 now! I was fortunate enough to live through ALL that old school funk, rock, metal, country, pop, rap, and the BEST GROUP EVER (imo) THE BEE GEES!!!
This was a banger...takes me back to Ft.Lauderdale, disco, warm breezy night driving down A1A blasting this song on the way home from the clubs. So fun!!
"Always and Forever" was pretty memorable too. Monster vocals on Rod Temperton's song. Rod who? Rod Temperton the guy who wrote Thriller, Off The Wall and Rock With You. Whaaat?!
Oh this brings me back to some great times out with friends from work. We’d dance the night away with all the Disco tunes back in 1978! I miss those times!!!’
And think this was just one of many groups we had to listen to back in the day. I'm 59 and I shake my head when I compare what we had to what my son has today.
There may be more complex and relevant forms of music, but DISCO is pure joy. Its job is to make your body move, put a smile on your face and warm your soul. What could be more relevant??
I blew my stereo speakers out in high school on this track. I was really riding on the groove line that night! Lol. RIP Rod and Johnnie. Love you. God bless you always.
I'm 31 now here in 2022 and I'm just thankful my parents and older family put me on as a child. I'll always be jealous of my OGs who got to grow up with music like this. Shout out to the ones still here vibing and peace to those who are up there grooving in the sky
This has got to be the grooviest 1970/80’s musical accompaniments of all times - keeps going - just love it. You’re smart lads, Heatwave. Well named. Love your band; love your music. What’s happened to you down the decades, my friends? Love, love, love ya. Jane Russell
1978 was my senior year in high school , I remember a schoolmate stopped by a bunch of us kids waiting for the bus ride home , and said hey you guys check this out , and fired up this song on his ghetto blaster ..my first time hearing it , certainly not the last .. good times ..

What a ride. ✌️
Where are the girls ??

I completely agree!
Songs were generally more positive and optimistic in those days 👌
Good song though sounds like a song to scifi action horror movie
@khalilreid I hadn't thought of that before, but you are right. It does have a Halloweeny overtone to it in places. Cool thx!
I have always enjoyed Heatwave, and the ability of the group to harmonize with perfection.

I will be 67 this month. 60s and 70s will always be my thing!
I am 67 1/2🥴

Same here Nick...you know you can still jam to this ...great music great times😊

We're missing not only Funk, but fun Funk! What a time to be alive to have the best groovin' tunes ever! 🔥🔥🔥
Another Temperton master work. AND the song that Quincy said - I want this guy to write a few songs for Michael. The rest is history.

Right on! Exactly!
That's what it does for me
YES! YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN! I WAS 11 IN 1977! GREAT SONG! 🎤🎤
Eric Johns signature funky riff sounds coming from his 1960's Fender Deluxe Telecaster guitar makes all the difference.
@@chrismccormick6371 Recorded in 1977; released in 1978. Nvrthlss; a FUCKIN' AWESOME SONG!!!!! MY PERSONAL FAVE from Heatwave.
The Groove Line is without a doubt the #1 absolute Best DANCE Record ever to be played over the biggest sound systems in the world!
I remember roller disco skating to this awesome tune, back in 1979!! ❤
Hi Lauren, wasn't that the best of times? I wore through 2 pairs of skates and loved every minute of it! You stay groovy now...catch ya on the flip side!
Consider yourself lucky no matter how old you are now. you lived through the best of times. forget the internet and all this garbage, those really were the best of times.
I bet you rocked it! I could never skate very well 😭
Damn. Wish I could have been there too...but the 90s were awesome too.
I wish I was alive back then. Born in the wrong era.
...never gets old!!!❤
Yeah, I'm getting freaking old too. Was in grocery store yesterday and this tune came on while I was in frozen food section. I just stood there and enjoyed it as it sounded good then. Still sounds good today 44 years later. Damn I miss the 70's.
This is great music. I’m only 26, this is the first time I heard it, it’s fantastic.
ME, TOO!! 70's were the Greatest ever of Times
Just stood there? Impossible. You were at least tapping your feet.
I would've been strutting to it!

"Got to be good looking, because he's so hard to see" is definitely the God's honest truth. Very truthful, yet creative in every way, indeed. Good music for the ears, heart, mind, and spirit ❤
Great sound! There are not enough superlatives to describe the gem of a group
My late brother use to listen to songs like this ,its a shame he is no long here to listen with me ! Miss you big brother!❤
I’m so sorry for your loss. He’s living on through this music.

Cleethorpes should be Proud! ❤
Heatwave show with this song that music never goes old gets better like a fine like wine. Still.❤it.

Great disco song. Love the bass line and the horn section.
I definitely am still listening. We had the BEST SONGS back then. Wish I could go back to those days.
Im 24 and for like 4 years ive had such a thing for this song!!! Groove doesnt die ‼️
They need to do a biopic for this band...their music is incredible and their story is amazing.
🗣️💪💪💪😎
Yes endo, they should. Five nationalities made up this band!!
I remember when they were profiled on TV One's Unsung. That was a great episode.
Totally agree
It's on unsung, the story of Heatwave on RUclips

1978
I agree groove line was their best song such great memories of 78 my senior year in high school
I graduated high school in 1978 also.
Soul Music in the 1970's really was and is special.
Yes it was!
It's sacred
White folks think so too.
So ahead of its time…..this actually got me hyped working out right now -💯💯💯💯
Good music, a melody, wonderful arrangements, singing and beat - real music so unlike the nonsense that is passing as music right now.
Dug this as a teenager. Happy to be able to dance to it today. How could you not!

Actually, this is a blend of pop and funk. Just because you can dance to a song doesnt make it disco. Not being rude, just saying
A time when a good time was had, great music and long hot summers lucky to be in that time
Saw them live in Croydon 1977....didn't realise we were in the presence of musical genuises . The stupity of youth....!
