One of the funnest songs of the 70s in my opinion. Great music back then for sure.
Totally agree with you!!
@@karyn354NO ANCHOVIES PLEASE 👀 😅
I'm just super astonished about all of the things she hasn't seen/'heard of before. This song is super famous. How old is she?
This.... a few singles from 'Earth, Wind & Fire' as well as from 'KC and the Sunshine band'.
React to KC and the Sunshine Band song "I'm your Boogie Man", I believe you will enjoy it as well as this song. Yes the 70's and for that matter the 80's were great for music. Now a days music cannot measure up. Oh. React to
The Kinks song song Lola
Frankie Goes to Hollywood song Relax. I would love to say your reaction \ shock to those songs.
This is The FUNK ! Bring back the Funk.
In the 70s, there was talent that didn't know no black or white. There was just good music.
"The ink is black, the page is white, together we learn to read and write.." ~ Three Dog Night
so true!
59 year old black man here. I remember this song clearly. We didn't have a problem with the music. Good music is just good. This was one of my jams as a young one
64 year old white man who grew up in a small all white town here. I loved the Music of our time. I watched Midnight Special and Soul Train. I can't believe that in an all white small town I bought 45's of Joe Tex, Ohio Players and many other artists. Good Music brings us all together.
66 year old white guy here, and yeah this was some fun stuff! 👍🏻
And as a white person, we were the same.. I was young but we were always listening to Michael Jackson and Tina Turner along with many others!!!
Great review! Very entertaining to listen to your reviews!
I miss those days
What was so good about the 1970's is regardless of race or background. We could come together with our music. No one likes everything. As a whole we enjoyed the music. 40+ years later I still do
I’m a 64 year old white guy. When this song came out me and all my friends, black and white, loved this song. I never knew a single white person offended by a black person who reacted the way you did Britt. Everybody has got to stop being offended by every little thing. Life’s too short and it’s better to love each other and get along.
Fuckin A bubba, 100%
LOL, Awesome comment!@@mikek5958
58 here, and you are 100% right!!
60 here. I was a DJ at a roller rink when this came out. My fav from that era! Later on in my 40’s I got to work for, and become friends with Harry Casey from KC & the sunshine band!
55 hear. Great times! We all got along! I'm so sick of the media acting like we didn't.
I'm 68
.we were not concerned with race in the 70s just the music.
You're good
People were a lot less prejudiced in the 70's, then they are realistically NOW ! Love when younger peop;e discover the music that I enjoyed as a youth!
White person here, I love this song, and have since the 70s. AFAIC, when a black person says a white musician is as funky as a black one, that’s high praise. I once had a couple of the black guys I worked with compliment my dancing after a company party, and I was extra proud. When you get good reviews from members of the community that invented the groove, just be grateful!
Soul has no colour.
Amen
One thing about the '70's, we made great music that everyone loved and no one cared what color you were.
Make America 70s again!
🎯
Yes. And it's our own government ( with media help ) that made it the way it is today.
There was plenty of racism then. But music did help to bring people together.
I’m a 70 year old white boy and all of us loved this song without ever thinking about color.
I LOVE watching young people "discovering" the music from my day. They were from Ohio where I grew up. In 1976, when this song came out, I was 20. (I had a much bigger afro and I'm a white boy). God bless you. And thanks.
"Wild Cherry was a hard rock cover band, but with the advent and popularity of the disco era, it began to be difficult to get bookings because audiences wanted to dance. Parissi told the band that if they wanted to get bookings, they were going to have to start to include dance tunes in their sets, but the band resisted becoming a disco band. While playing at the 2001 Club on the North Side of Pittsburgh to a predominantly black audience, a patron said to band member Beitle during a break, "Are you going to play some funky music, white boys?" Parissi grabbed a pen and order pad and wrote the song in about five minutes. The lyrics literally describe the predicament of a hard rock band adjusting to the disco era"
But hard rock was still very popular in the late '70s. You didn't have to be a disco (or funk, in the case of Wild Cherry) band to make it. You just had to be a good rock band.
@@jackgilchrist MSM was pushing Disco back then. Rock was doing it's thing in the background pushing out big music.
@@louieflash7190 I hear ya. Disco was everywhere for sure. Meanwhile, bands like Boston, Foreigner, Van Halen, Aerosmith, etc., were selling out arenas.
Most people nowadays don't realize how insidious disco was. Polyester suits and cocaine were disco's nadir. I didn't shed a tear when disco died, but there is always another music fad.
2001 on the North Side and 2002 in White Oak!
I am white and grew up in a black neighborhood during that time. You can't imagine how many times this song was sung to me.
Ditto. I started singing back, "Play That White Music, Funky Boy".
Same here
Im an old woman lol child of the 70s and i feel like the world back then in alot of ways was alot less concerned about race and general lifestyle then we are now. Lord if song lyrics now included the phrase play that funky music white boy people would be all over it then it was just good music nobody cared we just all danced
@@brandicarson5107 Power dynamics are complicated. Thankfully, respect is not. Treat people how they want to be treated. If you do that, it doesn't matter what time we are in, right? But I get what you are saying. Let's just dance!
Welcome to Funk! It's all encompassing.
71 and LOVED this song back in the day.....when somebody would ask my race I would say "100 yard dash" !!
Thank you for your lovely reaction. This song is based on a true story when the band were booked into a "wrong venue" and one member of the audience did shout "Play that Funky Music White Boy" and indeed they did. Amen.
...Amen.
Early 80's, any bass player trying to play funk had to play this and Superfreak at the drop of a hat. Essential.
Your grandmother was as cool as hell back in the day!
This song and "Brick House" by the Commodores, automatically get you "movin' and a groovin'" Great reaction, Britt!
That song is on the Zoom album!! I have it!
My 2 fav dance songs!
Also, "Super Freak!!!"
roller skated to these song a lot in the 70's
Thanks for the reminder of Brick House!!
😂 This and Black Betty, without a doubt, two of the funkiest “limburger cheese” songs of that era and arguably, of all time.
They just started playing Black Betty on the "oldies" station (when the hell did my music become oldies?!) and I blast that in the car every single time it comes on. Yes, I still listen to FM radio... I guess that answers my first question.
Ram Jam definitely did the best version of Black Betty (after Lead Belly, of course).
For decades I thought Ram Jam was a soul band . They sounded like a lot of the black acts of the time. Yearrrs later I saw a promotional film on TH-cam. They weren’t called videos yet. It was a bunch of long haired white Boys from Alabama rocking out at a backyard barbecue. Sometimes you never know until you see the band in concert.
"Black Betty" was a cover of a very old song, I think 1920s, and I think Leadbelly did it first, though I could be wrong.
@@stevegans3517 You’re right. See my comment above. 👍🏼
Would I be transported back to the 70's if I could? Hell yes! First of all, the 70's was an amazing time to be alive!
Second reason? The country is falling apart and escaping this shit is massively appealing
Well put sir, well put!!
Don't wish any years away. The trade off for being there then is being old now. I was there. I just turned 70. Yes, some of it was really great, some of it... not so much. The reality is we also had Vietnam. Watergate. Nixon resigning in shame. The Arms Race. Polyester liesure suits. Disco. Eleven Israeli athletes murdered during the 1972 Munich Olympics by Palestinian terrorists (sound familiar?). Only 3 channels of regular tv and it was all censored and low def. If two shows that you liked aired at the same time, you had to choose which one you watched and then hope to catch the other show during summer reruns. The town movie theater only changed what it showed every other week. If you really liked a song, you either had to buy the whole album or wait to hear it on the radio. If you missed a lyric you had to wait for it to be played again. If you missed a phone call, you didn't know who called. But I will say being in my 20s in the 70s was definitely a lot more fun than now being 70 in the 20s. On a last note, we didn't know or really appreciate what we had. Find a way to appreciate what you do have now because 50 years from now someone might wish to go back and live in the great 2020s and you might have to tell them "not so much". I used to wish I was 20 in the 1940s. because of the great music and America coming together to fight Hitler and Hirohito. Of course that'd make me 104 now so no thanks. Ok. Not a lecture, no condescension, just my observation and reply to something I hear a lot from newer gens. Boomer out.
Kind of like now?
@@juliagrant3299 Exactly like now.
@@garybradford8332 I'm a '62 model, and totally understand where you are ... we went through some crap, but we had some good stuff, too ... The world felt different then
I am a 73-year-old white boy, and went to high school with one of the band members of Wild Cherry. His name is Donnie Iris look him up Elwood city, Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh area Wild Cherry.
Almost half a century later and this song still bops.
I am so glad that people from Gen Z can appreciate the music of my era!! Wild Cherry, Doobie brothers, Bee gees... The list could go on an on. Im just happy to see people like Brittany enjoying and sharing some really good music, even if it is from another time...
I was a teenager when this song came out we all were like, "What, that is a White boy?" and we all danced like crazy to it!
I have been waiting for you to react to this one! Girl, let me tell you, I was rehearsing for CHURCH about 15 years ago and the lead guitar busted out in this song, the drummer followed suit, lead singer did as well, so here we go, I did the back ups. The pastor heard it, came in the church to see us on stage jammin' to this tune, shook his head, and danced all the way down the isles and out the church doors! We all busted out laughing because we KNEW he wanted to join us! LOL This song is ICONIC! AND YES, We were all WHITE! LOL
Reading that made my day! 😂😊
Funny... especially since I grew up with the song... and yes in a church related band (harmonica player)
😂😂😂😂
Britt you have an awesome “real world” attitude. In the real world everyone is getting along just fine. The media and politicians are the ones that have the problem.
We loved each other in a special way back then, black, white, Mexican - it just didn't matter ... We had FUN, and no one ever got offended. We had our problems, but we partied hard!!
I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel. I love your delightful reaction. I’m a 57-year-old white woman, so I was a child in the 70s. I remember hearing this song for the first time “back in the day” and thought it was the funkiest song ever! Loved it then and love it now. Sorry kids, but we really had the best music in the 70s and 80s.
I was born in 1961, I grew up in the 70's. You would have loved it, Britt. Great reaction!
I’m a professional musician and I have played this tune literally hundreds and hundreds of times- this song is a MUST PLAY at weddings!! Lol!
Could you imagine being a teenager when this song was new? Grooving with your friends?
I love their Midnight special singing this song!
I'm a 63 year old white boy and I love your reaction!!!! But you must see the other live versions of this song! There are 2 Brothers in the back dancing with their horns pointing at the singer when they get to "play that funky....." IT IS AWESOME!! You'll LOVE it!!
I was a teen when this came out and it still makes me feel good when I hear it 👍👍
My FAVORITE reaction EVER!!!
You sound crazy
Born in 57 and loved Country ,Country Rock ,Rock ,Hard Rock ,and Mow Town -Temptations ,Four Tops , Supremes…
It's hard to overstate how popular this song was. It was #1 not only the Billboard Hot 100 but on the Hot Soul Singles chsrt too.
Wild Cherry was a hard rock band who wrote this to stay popular once disco dominated music in the late 70s and bookers wanted dance music.
Play That funky music (White Boy).
I'm 62 and I don't remember anyone or anybody or anything not loving this song to groove to. Everybody had to know who Wild Cherry was after this hit. This song, like a few, entered One Hit Wonder Status. A true honor with this song. It's so perfect when it comes to "The Funk".
Any white person that is ok with someone call8ng them a white boy is an IDIOT🤮 I'm a white MAN🙂😎
Songs from the 50s', 60s', 70s', 80s', and 90s will break down the walls people have placed around themself! I love it when all these walls fall apart; it opens people's minds! : )
This song is a classic ... ! And I'm a Mesakin ! No matter the color of your skin , what matters is your soul ... ! You can feel it , you can see it , the good people of this world have good souls and soul .........that funky soul ...
Classic all-time party song from back in the day. FYI, there is also a black sax player and a black trumpet player in this group.
Girl, you crack me up! I thoroughly enjoy your reaction videos. I'm a 59 year old white dude and I love when people can recognize that people ARE different and they can have fun with it. Listen, I'm Italian and we all know about the Italian stereotypes which, quite frankly, are rooted in facts. I have plenty of friends who call me a dago, WOP, etc., and we just have fun with it. Life's too short. Keep doing what you're doing and may God bless you and your family!
You must be doing something if people are talking about you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im 61, my daughter passed away in 2022..she loved this song.......I remember first time she heard it. On the way to her little league game. By the games end every kid in that dugout was singing that song...Thanks for throwing that memory to the forefront of this old mind.
Growing up in the 70s and 80s was the best!
this was one of the great disco songs i dont know how many times i dance to this song im 66 years old .70s those were the days of good music
This song could get you out on the dance floor every time it was played.
One of the "best" songs of the 70s! Lordy, did I dance to this song....yes I did ! 70s were the best 👌 ✌️✌️
A lot of people were surprised to find out Elvis Presley was white when he was first getting recognized.
This was one of my absolute favorite songs growing up and I had the single and I played it all the time and it was on the radio all the time and people dance to it at the club for years after work and would just bring it up and sing it and so forth it was incredibly popular and the whole time I never knew that it wasn't a black band until maybe 10 or 15 years ago when I saw this TH-cam video. I was shocked.
I am 57 and I remember this time, and isn't if funny how we were MORE together then than we are now. We should all get back to great music and vibes that we had then. Remember "Free your mind and your ass will follow", GREAT advise for ALL OF US.
There is a longer version of this live showing the two black horn players showing off......loved it. You are a bright star among many dark ones, with this and Archie Bunker. Keep up the good work.
Thats the version from The Midnight Special tv show.
I thought this was that version. I was disappointed not to see the horn players.
I grew up in a time of true funk. It was the best and I love this song.
Lets bring back all 70's music, and people may get along again. It puts you in a good mood. Then the fighting could go away.
I'm so glad I was a teenager in the 70s, we had great music, and no one was offended.
I'm 64 and this was one of my favorite songs in highschool 🎵🕺🎶
First time I heard this was just leaving high school for the day and my boyfriend put in the 8 track. It was immediately one of my favorite songs to this day. As for any person getting upset about not knowing KC and The Sinshine Band sounded like they weren't white, well I felt the same way back then. Same for Wild Cherry. I'm 63 and was so fortunate to be in high school in the 70:s. Love your reactions Brit!
I'm the same age as you, for a long time I thought Michael McDonald was black.
How about AWB?
careful you might hurt some brains that don't know what an 9 track is
Same age. Agree with Average White Band, especially Cut the Cake would make Britt's head spin 😅 Actually, Britt, I'm making that my suggestion for your next reaction ❤
I'm the same age as you, I concur with you about being a teenager in the 70's.
As for this song, I remember the dance floor being rushed when the first notes of Wild Cherry began to play.
Every DJ knew this would happen.
Totally fair thing to say. Love seeing you enjoy this song. I haven't heard it in forever. I grew up in the 70's in DC, and I love me some funky music and I'm a funky white girl! ♥
In the 70’s, music brought us together, not tears us apart, nobody cared what color anyone was, the only care was if you could jam out and get down!😉😎😎
65 yo white boy here. Played bass in a cover band in the 70’s, horns and all. Had a big fro. We had tons of fun and packed the dance floor!
Perhaps the Greatest one hit wonder of the 1970's , This is an iconic 1970's song ..love it ..
Don't worry, Britt... we all do it. I always form pictures in my head of what I imagine someone looks like - and then I'm usually surprised when I see that they don't look anything like their voice. I think it's natural for people to do that. I actually love it when I'm wrong!
I had a friend in the late 1960's who was a very good guitar player, and could play "Stepping Out" just like Clapton, and when I saw him in the late 70's I asked him if he was still playing and he told me he was in a "Disco" band just to make ends meet !! This song reminds me of that time... Love you, Britt. Keep it up !! PS, I'm 75 years young...
I love how your reactions are heartfelt and sincere! If anyone has a problem with the way you relate to a song or video... then it is just that... their problem, not yours. Stay true to you and what you have been doing. Thanks for the great content!
I love watching you kids listen to the best music that's ever been. This was EPIC!
In the 70s. The Genre was not an issue.
This song was a hit & like by all color, white, black & yellow.
All disco plays this song in the 70s.
Love it.
I grew up in the 60' on up and the music has changed so much that I love my old rock music. Britt I enjoy seeing your expression during every recording of the videos. I have learn so much from you. I might have listen to a million times and never picked up things you find. By the way there is an old music game out there and would play it with my ex wife and stepdaughter since they knew more than I did. Stepdaughter would take my DVD's and find them in her car. I am a fan of you show and watch and rewatch. I would hit the clubs back in my day and I wish you could have been sitting there listening to all the music.
When you said "jive turkey" I just about choked. 😂
This was hugely popular when it came out, and I believe their only number 1 hit. I think their only hit in the US, even though their other stuff was good too. I bought the album when I was about 10, not long after it came out. In my small town in mid-late '70s all us kids hung out at a local pizza parlor which had a game room (pool, foosball, air hockey, pinball... no video games yet) and this song was constantly on the jukebox.
I wasn't much of a disco kid overall (a lot of it seemed like dumbed down, overly commercialized versions of funk, soul, r&b..., sometimes downright cheesy), but I have always appreciated some good funk and soul. Always dug funk groups like Rufus and Chaka Khan, P-Funk, the Gap band, Average White Band, Tower of Power, etc., and can't forget the classics like James Brown or Sly and the Family Stone.
Some of us white boys definitely got soul. 🙂
Hey Britt, I enjoy your reaction vids!! I was born in '62 so I was a teen when this song came out. EVERYBODY I knew LOVED it, and NOBODY was offended!!! It was great!!! The '70's, and '80's were the decades when music was positive!! Still livin' in those times, musically anyways!!!
That song was the highlight of our high school pep rallies, featured in all the half-time shows at all the football games, every high school dance and everytime it came on the radio we all had to get up and dance. It was iconic.
Britt's reaction to Wild Cherry is the same as mine the first times i saw Charley Pride and Paul Robeson. Not because we thought they couldn't; we just didn't know they did.
Rob Parissi and Bobby Caldwell are some of the blackest white men that took me by surprise.
Being 62, I've probably heard this song a thousand times, and I'm still not tired of it. This is one of those songs that will have you heading for the dance floor even if you can't dance.
I Love when she refers to the fashion, the styles, the hair..we invented it sweetheart! Love that you love it.
When this song dropped in the 70's, it was THE hottest record out. Mind you, there was no TH-cam back then and unless you bought the record, you had to wait for it to come on the radio
I just came across your You Tube channel today, 2-1-2024, and I'm enjoying every minute of your videos! Your facial expressions and physical movements when surprised or enjoying the music are priceless! What an enjoyable human being you are, and I am way beyond being jealous of your husband for finding you.....I hate him! (😉😀😊). Just letting you how much fun you make your videos to watch by a 70 year old white guy and a father of a daughter. Thank you for doing these, kiddo!
I've been watching your channel for a while. When I saw the song you were reacting to. I knew it was gonna be a "GOOD" one!!!
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
I love your reactions. No matter who you are, when this funky music starts, we’re all movin’ to the groovin’
I never thought about this but she is spot on about the pre-chorus. It does exactly what you want a pre-chorus to do. It’s like a meatball right over the plate and the chorus just smashes it out of the park.
I was 15 and rockin' to this on skates at the roller rink when it came out.
Lol. Wild Cherry had Britt dropping 70's lingo like jive turkey. 😂
Britt, this song is one of those timeless tunes, to where the song sounds just as funky and catchy today as it did when it came out in the 70s. That's rarified air right there.
I can't believe 50 years has gone like a flash!! I was in 6th or 7th grade when that song came out as well as maybe my favorite album of all time, Boston! Just great music back then!!
Growing up in the 60s/70s we never cared what color you were, if you could jam, thats all that mattered!
This is the definition of FUNK MUSIC!! Love this song so much and it is a song in so many movies of my teens.
You can’t imagine the smile on my face seeing you enjoying music I went crazy for when it first hit the radio. Music back then was so much fun and I miss that time in my life.
And I think the KC song you we’re trying to remember might have been, “I’m your Boogie Man”.
I am a 61 yr old white guy. I remember well when this came out. Even we didn't know he was white until we saw this video....I was a drummer in a band for years. This was one of my favorites to play and it always got them up on the floor.
this was the most popular song of my 10th grade at Miami Coral Park High School in 1976
Imagine this at the club, it’s 1am and hot! The dancers are melting but the funk goes on….ahhh, those days (and nights) were just the best! Thank you Lord xx
I was 12 when this came out. I still haven't fallen out 5:33 of love with it!! ❤❤❤
I grew up 60s and 70s and we danced and sang our asses off or at the least got in the middle of it and sucked it all in ! Americans were still listening to and dancing to 50s music , Little Richard , Chubby Checker , Fats Domino , Elvis Presley , Jerry Lee Lewis etc and the 60s hit and a new sense of freedom opened up with music artist and those dancing and or obsorbing it , carrying it to new highs and level , each feeding off each other , pushing it. Most every family had members who played guitars , pianos or something ,most everyone would sing along with the radio , Church , School , Family gatherings, children putting together bands , Jackson Five , The Osmonds, Bee Gees etc. We were ripping thru the 60s but when the 70s hit ........and every o 9:46 ne threw ever ounce of give a shit insecurities out the window and let loose of their heart and soul and all genre of music and dance peeked out with a new one called Disco and every one was wanting to get in the groove ! Black , White , Male , Female , young and Old . By the late 70s we had groups like Boston , Fleetwood Mac and dozens of others that had something , everyone had something to listen, sing or dance to , new country , new rock , new everything.....I was there and seen it , most all Americans and others that I witnessed .........had a pep and purpose in there step , singing , huming or whistling while working ,playing or doing little of nothing. You want to bring America together ........play and listen 60s and 70s .........we were not hating each other then , it was truly a time of coming together. PEACE !!
Love you Britt! Just remember it's Wild Cherry. Buck Cherry is another band completely. 🤣
And back then nobody cared that it said “ white boy “ . Nobody thought anything about racist anything . We just thought it was cool and loved dancing to it .
Woooow I love hearing black folks say that .... kinda like they call righteous brothers BLUE EYED SOUL.... I take it as a compliment to be honest makes me smile
have to appreciate the brothers on horns. they just add so much.
Not to mention the Supertalent. He's an awesome guitar player and the band is. Great as well.

This is a unique music act a real treasure in the music business once you see who's singing , you go " WOW !!!
The Disco Era (Mid-To-Late 70s and Early 80s) - great time for music! Boogie = Dancing and Getting Down
That was the best reaction to this song I've heard, and seen, on the Internet. This song deserved it. I was lucky enough to be in my early 20's when this song came out. We absolutely destroyed the dance floor when this song came on at the club. Good times!!!
