This song is so good...the horns and the kazoos of course, but the bass the lead, and even the drummer's tapping on the high hat...and the chorus is on point...classic
This great song got lost in the mix (no pun intended) when Grandmaster Flash laid it down with the foundation for hip hop. Truly a great song, stands on its own. Horns!!!
This was the jam at all the block parties back in the day in all the five boroughs and your favorite MCs would rock the mic real hip hop facts..before records before Sugarhill gang..if you only knew
Ahhh. back in the days... cut this up at the 3:39 break in my parents basement...100W per channel amp & "Disco 2001" speakers...the joys I had at 17 yrs. old....
Many have either forgotten, or have never stopped to realize, in just how Miami was very responsible during the 1970s in consistently turning out some of the greatest Disco and/or dance gems ever, making the Sunshine State label, T.K. Records, every bit a contender as much as its contemporaries Motown, Philly International, Salsoul, Prelude and SOLAR.
Wow. Back when I was so young, my uncle had to walk me to house parties. I danced my ass off while my uncle chilled on the wall with his hands folded looking cool.. those were the days
DJ Grandmaster Kid Flash. & The Furious 5ive, DJ Darryl C. & The Crash Crew MC's, and The Blastmaster Teacher MC KRS-ONE & The Boogie Down Productions sent me here!
Repris dans les années 90 par SWV,!! je me rappel avoir mis beaucoup de temps pour trouver l'original de Freedom qui est vraiment toujours aussi excellent à réécouter!!
When I was a young teenager and this classic funky tune was new, I thought at first I was the noyl one that loved this song. Turns out, this is one of the most beloved jams back in the day ! If only we had music again like this, today. CoolFunk, you are truly the best funketeer on RUclips brother !
OMG........I have not heard this since I was a kid riding in the car with my mom in her 67 Camaro(yes with the big black stripe down the middle)!! "GREAT CUT". Thank you.
School's out and Im at home listening to this groove on my dad's radio......oh what a memory.....chilling with nothing to do but listen and dance to real funky sounds....West Street Mob still rocks.....

Nothing beats old school music........Nothing
I listened to this song in 1979. Who else is listenin' to this jam Get Up & Dance in 2021?
Back in '79, people used to lose their ever-lovin' minds over this jam. I mean, it would create an EXPLOSION! I had the 45 with a TK sleeve!
This song is so good...the horns and the kazoos of course, but the bass the lead, and even the drummer's tapping on the high hat...and the chorus is on point...classic

That song by Grand master Flash and the furious 5 had the biggest hit with this jam.
"Life was simpler" but its a lot of docs and movies saying other wise.
But this music came from a place to help. Especially for times like now.
Listening in 2020!
School's out and Im at home listening to this groove on my dad's radio......oh what a memory.....chilling with nothing to do but listen and dance to real funky sounds....West Street Mob still rocks.....
