What makes Heatwave great is there pure energy in the music. Keith Wilder is the Energizer man with a great voice, Johnnie hits the notes like no other and Rod Temperton is a songwriting genius. Awesome group.
Thx for sharing. I didn't know Rod Temperton was a member of this band. I'm only familiar with the hugely successful songs which he had written from the 80s n working alongside giants like Quincy Jones n Michael Jackson
... and MJ's first solo album, Off the Wall! Most love Thriller and I do too, but there's something else on Off The Wall I like a little more. Heatwave is so criminally underrated, the sheer talent and the grooves they produced, no other act can follow. Chic would be close, Nile Rodgers and bassist Bernard Edwards at least get their credit. Heatwave is owed a lot more!
Boy, 1977 - wow! If that don't make you smile, something is terribly wrong with you. Man, they didn't even break a sweat, either. Those were great days!
Totally agree! I’m no cinematographer, just a humble musician who NEEDS to watch this vid sometimes. The vocals, the harmonies, the instrumentals, the groove, the dancing (how tf do they do that?!?), and of course the jumpsuits are the cherry on top!
Awww....Johnnie.....what a voice. And brother Keith. Johnnie. Was struck broadside by a van that left him paralized. He still recorded but passed years later from complicatkons of the paralises. Quite an entertainer and such a loss. Keith kept the music alive for Heatwave until he had heart attach few years ago. Thank youtube for giving us these videos. " Now and Forever" is a must listen ,guys. ⚘🙏⚘⭐⭐
You R RIGHT ON TARGET w/ ur comment ! I DEF couls not agree more !I still go Rolerskating at great rink + they mix in * OL SKOOL* + I still GRT lucky ENUF to hear this PHENOMONAL song,just as I did when skating to it in 77-79... I never STOPPED tho in the interim When it comes on at the ROLLER Rink,it still gets everyone in a suddenly better mood!!!!
Rod is underrated. Look at those guys killing it with choreo Aaaannnndddd playing real music....fusion nonetheless...... how I wish I was old enough to have watched an act like this
Man during my time 1977 Boogie Nights did I play and party at the discos with that song with lady. We’ve been together over 40years and our two girls now grown grew up on our music.. Wilder brothers promoted their songs.. what showman.. still sounds good in 2021. LB December 2021
Yeah I NOTICED that too unless THEYRE mesmerized ;;; Ive seen Heatwave in person ,once in 1979 + once many YRS later and not one person in the audience could stop themselves from "" boogieing " ESOEC to THIS SUPERB song !!;
RIGHT?? I was born in 1996, so i never got to see the disco era, but if i got to see this group at this point in time... U know that Id be boogieing up and down the aisles, dancing with everyone. While simultaneously being mesmerized by the songwriting
One of the profound groups of the 70s ‼️Fantastic Song /Album production & fine performances ❗️Hits that will please Forever‼️✨🎶🎉🥂🍾🎊👏🏾😆Love me some Heatwave 💞..as i’m a Musician,✨🎶🎸🎙as well...their music shall still be present!!..in the world 🌎
I am so crazy about heatwave The whole group I love both of the singers oh my goodness that the one in the a peach colored outfit and a 1 in the green they're awesome the whole band is awesome I was crazy about them in the seventies just as I am now
Unos GENIOS !!! . Opino que son la escuela de Michael Jackson . Pena me da la apatia del público ante la calidad y el talento de éstos monstruos . Con el tiempo y a la distancia verán por éste medio que estuvieron en presencia de unos ASTROS !!!
If I was there, no way I could just sit there., No way... I am up and moving.... Ooooooo yeah... Shit I am moving now... Love them dance ❤️ moves.... Ooooo dammm.. Hell yeah...
Somebody said that this music is dead now. Being born in 1967 and growing up with music like this, I have a vast list of great songs that still make my feet move. I got ants in my pants and wanna dance!!!👍
yeah right. almost everyday on a commercial you hear nothing but 70s 80s old funk and RnB. Football stadiums and basketball games still pump out old music. this music will live forever

One of the greatest disco ever! In my top 3! I love Heatwave! A pure classic!
What makes Heatwave great is there pure energy in the music. Keith Wilder is the Energizer man with a great voice, Johnnie hits the notes like no other and Rod Temperton is a songwriting genius. Awesome group.
Raymond, Great comment. Extremely talented group, and totally underrated. Johnnie's vocal range was crazy.
In addition to the Wilder Brothers and the great Rod Temperton I always found Berger's drumming very imaginative. Heatwave made some great music!
party in Omaha benson in Omaha ,Nebraska every night in 2020 879 unclebob@gmail.com to this tune
@@bobmccaslin6675 SUPERB SONG pick You have GrEAT taste in music!

I'm so addicted to Heatwave in 2020 ! :D
Too me
Was addicted in 1978 and still addicted. I’m getting me a Heatwave T shirt lol
Me too , 2022
Always and forever Heatwave 2023
Same here!!
The great keyborad genius behind Michael Jackson's Thriller, Rod Temperton!
Yeah, man, and for George Benson too !
... and MJ's first solo album, Off the Wall! Most love Thriller and I do too, but there's something else on Off The Wall I like a little more.

For sure
😂 Agreed! They’re pure joy. ❤
Nobody probably realizes how golden this video is. On all aspects.
Totally agree! I’m no cinematographer, just a humble musician who NEEDS to watch this vid sometimes. The vocals, the harmonies, the instrumentals, the groove, the dancing (how tf do they do that?!?), and of course the jumpsuits are the cherry on top!
👏
The Wilders of Heatwave were from Dayton, Ohio. Near me!
SWEET!
The energy of those guys is amazing. Loved them back in 78 when I was 16 at the disco.
Great footage, one of the best Disco songs ever, Funky as heck too.
You SAID IT ALL !!!!! Couldn't agree more !
one of my go to faves
Wish they put this live version on a record, super funky!
Funky not disco. Respect the funk
Awww....Johnnie.....what a voice. And brother Keith. Johnnie. Was struck broadside by a van that left him paralized. He still recorded but passed years later from complicatkons of the paralises.

This made me cry. I love that they're still dancin'.
Still the ULTIMATE disco song. So fun!

This Is funky music not disco respect the funk !
Truly one of the greatest dance bands that ever was...Long live da funk!
It was a very different time, a great time 1977....
Amazing! The audience didn't deserve this greatness
Kick-ass bass. One of the best songs out of the 70s.
Still relevant!💖👍🔥
My favorite R&B/Funk/Disco band. Those cats knew how to get down!!!
I'm not as active in a whole day as the singer is in this song lol. This is brilliant...love it!
Fantastic live performance !!! Heatwave ruled with hit !!!
La buena música nunca pasa de moda.🥰🤩😙
Wow finally get to hear this live true legends
Absolutely loved this band and so talented.
Blimey they had to work that audience! Killer track Killer band!!...looks like the audience were there for a wake
I've never seen this Heatwave video before. Fantastic. Thanks for posting the video!
Rod is underrated. Look at those guys killing it with choreo Aaaannnndddd playing real music....fusion nonetheless...... how I wish I was old enough to have watched an act like this

Brilliant live performance.
Are we going to talk about that mic swing at @1:56?
Their vocal harmonies are pure gold. So difficult to reproduce live, but they always bring it! The energy is just great too!
That was fanstastic. It so good it seems unreal. Can they be that talented? Yes they can.
These guy's was just too real
Great performance high energy The audience has been dead for a while and rigor mortis has set in.
They got NO funk in them
dude theyre like statues like wtf
Sad isn't it 😦
MAGICAL performance thanks for the footage!!!!
Always and forever brought me here.
Didn't know they were the same guys that made Always and Forever WOW illmatic classics
Pure music....live like it should be, and the vocals just superb...
What a treat!
Just wonderful.
Man Keith surely have those 70 disco moves
Keith was bussing those moves!!! Love it
Yes he was!💗💗
How they split up the vocals, when the lead singers go "get down" is just incredibly smart. Rod Temperton! whoa! musical genius!
Always has been and always will be one of my favorite bands
Great band, and one of my fave bass players ever 👍❤ He was the KING of holding down a rock solid groove!
Amen brother...
Bunch of stiffs in that audience
Yeah I NOTICED that too unless THEYRE mesmerized ;;; Ive seen Heatwave in person ,once in 1979 + once many YRS later and not one person in the audience could stop themselves from "" boogieing " ESOEC to THIS SUPERB song !!;

Wait... what? This is THE SHIT. Of every decade that I've listened to Heatwave... I am beside myself. The dancing...
Damm not only they had to play great but dance too crazy
forreal and it had to be synchronized with the other 2... dedication.
One of my favorite groups
They're doing The Bump. Love it! This song was the epitome of cool back in the day. Still is, in my opinion 😊
The audience was afraid. Lol
That whip of the microphone though!
Wey estoy llorando, es hermosa está versión
Gran grupo. Vocalistas e instrumentistas geniales. Rod Temperton le pavimentó el camino a MJ. Grande Heatwave. Saludos desde el hermoso sur de Chile.
