    First year of college. Everyone in the dorm studying. Midnight. Someone sticks their speakers in the hall and plays this (and Rick James). Doors open. Dancing happens. 15 mins later, everyone goes back to their room and studies resume. Good times. Met my future husband in that hallway (married 41 years)

      She wrote the English lyrics, the score was written by Japanese Jazz composer Hachidai Nakamura. The original Japanese version by Kyuu Sakamoto hit the US top 100 in 1963, back before Clear Channel ate American radio and enough independent stations would take a chance on a. non-English song to push it onto the charts.

      @Russ-gy7tx ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Kyu Sakamoto's version of Sukiyaki was originally titled "Ue o Muite Aruko" in 1961, The American and British DJs couldn't pronounce it so the Label named it "Sukiyaki." It was derogatory to say the least, but the song was an international hit. I remember hearing Sukiyaki on LA Pop and Rock 'n Roll stations. Mr.Sakamoto perished in a Japanese airline disaster of 1985.

    Boogie Oogie Oogie reminds me soooooo much of the music my late grandmother Ollie use to enjoy.
    In secret.
    She was a relatively conservative black woman from Louisiana.
    She birthed 7 children with her husband,
    my grandfather Leo.
    Sonny
    August
    Precious (aka Bill)
    James Karl (my father)
    John Karl
    Jewel (my very favorite auntie!)
    and Ray
    She had a very, very busy life raising all her offspring.
    This was one of her favorite songs from that era. I would peep her secretly miming the lyrics when it would play at my Aunt Bill's summertime pool parties.
    She never really was open about letting herself be herself, be a freer version of her older self.
    Catching her lipping the lyrics,
    and doing the most subtle shoulder shrug dance moves while nobody was paying attention. That song is a memory trigger to me. Thank you for choosing it.
    That song,
    and Shalamar's "Second Time Around"
    She loved it!
    Off topic:
    This is day 17 of my birthday month.
    I am going to optimistically and politely ask if you could react to the album version of Peter Gabriel's "Rhythm of the Heat", and possibly his other songs off his "Security" album, like San Jacinto, The Family and the Fishing Net, and Shock the Monkey.

    A Taste Of Honey had more R&B hits than Top 40. There's a track by them called "Rescue Me" produced by jazz keyboard player George Duke. The music from "Rescue Me" can be heard on the early rap song (from 1980) by Funky 4 + 1 called "That's The Joint". It was on Sugarhill Records and the music was replayed by the label's house band. The woman who started Sugarhill Records was Sylvia Robinson who had a popular R&B song in the 1970s called "Pillow Talk. Sylvia only went by her first name when she was still singing

    There's a great live performance of them performing this song on "The Midnight Special" in 1978 that is a must-see, the audience disco-dancing like there's no tomorrow and the ladies snapping on their guitar and bass. That sound y'all thought might be a kazoo is an electric guitar played by one of the women, and it looks great and sounds just as good in the live performance clip.
    Another really funky female group from this period is Stargard, who had a radio hit in 1977 with "Which Way is Up?," which is like Funkadelic funky.

    I've recently come to realize that 1978 was probably the greatest year in music in my lifetime. Boogie Oogie Oogie was #9 on the Billboard Charts that year. Saturday night fever came out in December 77. The 1978 charts had five of the top 10 songs from one family.(BeeGees had 3, Andy Gibb had 2) it was the year the movie Grease came out. Another great song from that year was Love Will Find a Way by Pablo Cruise. Summer 78 was the season of Baker Street and Donna Summer's Last Dance.

    That sound you're hearing that you think might be kazoo is actually a clavinet, the same instrument you hear Stevie Wonder play on a number of songs but which you'll particularly notice in the intro to his song, "Superstition." A clavinet is similar to a piano but smaller, electronically amplified (because otherwise it's super quiet), and makes its sounds in a similar but slightly different way than a piano, giving its notes more of a metallic sound. The clavinet is basically a modern version of a clavichord, a keyboard instrument invented in the 14th century and which was a precursor to the harpsichord, a bigger, louder keyboard instrument you hear a lot in classical music from the 18th century, like Mozart, Bach, etc. In the middle of the 20th century, Ernst Zacharias decided to update the clavichord by making it electronically amplified and the clavinet is the result. TWO FUN FACTS ABOUT CLAVINETS: (1) Stevie Wonder has referred to the clavinet as "my electric guitar," because it gives him that gritty, funky, metallic sound he can't get with any other instrument; and (2) because the clavinet is electronically amplified, you can attach FX pedals just like for a guitar, including things like wah-wah pedals and overdrive pedals. In fact, some modern clavinets even have a whammy bar for aggressive pitch-bending.
    It's a cool instrument with a very unique sound. Of course, these days, you don't need to actually buy a clavinet. Most synthesizers and computer music programs have at least one setting or sample that mimics the sound of the clavinet.

He is one of the best singers you will ever hear, his voice range is outstanding, he can do love songs, blues, rock, pop, soul, reggae. It's sad so many people are missing out on such a great performer.
