    "THE GROOVE LINE" LYRICS
    Pack your grip, takin' you on a trip
    Ain't no seats, all we got's dancin' feet
    Leave your worries behind
    'Cause rain shine, don't mind
    We're ridin' on the groove line tonight
    Ooh Ooh
    Ooh Ooh
    Catch this train know you'll be glad you came
    Hit the track party hard there and back
    Leave your worries behind
    'Cause rain shine don't mind
    We're ridin' on the groove line tonight
    Ooh Ooh
    Ooh Ooh
    Check out the wheels a turnin'
    You know we won't stop
    We got this boiler burnin'
    We're keepin' it hot
    So grab your friends, get the train comin' thru
    Climb on board, where you leave's up to you
    Leave your worries behind
    'Cause rain shine don't mind
    We're ridin' on the groove line tonight
    Ooh ooh
    Ooh ooh
    Ooh ooh
    Ooh ooh
    Leave your worries behind
    'Cause rain shine don't mind
    We're ridin' on the groove line tonight
    Ooh Ooh
    Ooh Ooh
    Check out the wheels a turnin'
    You know we won't stop
    We got this boiler burnin'
    We're keepin' it hot
    So grab your friends
    Get the train comin' through
    Climb on board
    Where you lead is up to you
    Leave your worries behind
    'Cause rain shine won't mind
    We're ridin' on the groove line tonight
    Ooh Ooh
    We can ride
    Rain shine don't mind
    We're ridin' on the groove line tonight (repeat and fade).
    SONG/VIDEO NOTES
    This extended mix features keyboard whiz Rod Temperton on an expanded instrumental section. Harmoniously, you can hear Eric John's beautiful rhythm guitar chords in this section. Music to the ears.
    Technically, “The Groove Line” is classified as a disco song. However, its sophisticated R&B funk sound sets it apart from most of the ubiquitous, redundant disco music of the late 70s. Instead of a dreamy jazzy intro like "Boogie Nights", Rod Temperton's genius chord progression is utterly apparent as the song begins with a synth intro that pulsates on the eighths, like a freight train in motion chugging along. I love the intro - so much so that I extended that pulsating synth then added four crash cymbal rolls before moving to the sizzling hi-hats. I also added an 808 sine wave roll-off on the first 3 kick drum hits that sounds great with subwoofers. Turn it up and wake the neighbors!
    At the time, synthesizers were new and really evolving - being integrated more and more into popular music with complex arrangements using multiple keyboards. The beauty of Rod’s synth melodies and the spirited complementary vocal harmonies of the Wilder brothers was unmatched. Keith sang with an aggressively masculine edge, while Johnnie had a feather-light smooth touch. He just looks so happy when he sings! Johnnie's falsetto reigns throughout the song, handling tricky chord changes during the chorus with ease.
    The drummer, Ernest "Bilbo" Berger, an underrated Jazz/Blues drummer from Czechoslovakia, is one that I list as one of my most influential funk drummers of the 70s. Here he executes a sixteenth note/semi-quaver pattern on the hi-hat that keeps the song grooving. On the chorus he switches to a swing-ish 'double-tap' quarter note close/open hi-hat pattern, that I play with my left hand (open, not crossed). His 1977 Ludwig Vistalite concert toms, perfectly tuned to the notes of the song, were bright and punchy. Barry Blue did a superb job of recording the drum track and mixing them prominently up front in the mix. I tried my best to do justice and match that tom and overall sound in this video.

      The original drummer of Heatwave is probably the funkiest drummer of all time. No lie. I'm a musician and grew up listening to Heatwave.
      The First song I learned as a Bassist was Boogie Nights.
      I'm also a lead singer. People can't tell me and Johnnie Wilder apart as Singers.

    You know- I,ve been wathcing this clip for 3 years, and this is the first time I've ever thought to tell you how much it means to mean. Im an ICU nurse and have dealt with all the things during covid. This was what I have watched over and over to- bring me down- deal with it-try to live my life, try to bring me back to humanity. Its like meditation for me. A happy place. Your drumming is hypnotic and spot on, you deal with it all and make it better than it probably ever was to begin with. I really cant express all this has meant to me, and how many times I have drowned in your perfection, while trying to deal with everything else. So, just a heartfelt, Thank You.

      Hey there, you are really an awesome person of talent. Watching you play took me back to junior high 77-79 when I learned to play clarinet in the band and continued til 11th grade. There was a kid named Jimmie Morris learning to play the drums and all my other classmates learning to play their instruments as well. It seemed as though I was learning each instrument as they learned theirs like the different positions of the trombone, the valves of the trumpet, french horn and tuba, keys of the flute which my sister played. I have great memories of my wonderful band teacher Mr Raymond Settle and I can still remember all the names of my classmates and the instruments they played. Just watching you play took me to one of the few good parts of my childhood cause I got pregnant at 15 and after that all I could do was survive for me and my baby,graduate high school in 1982 and then college in 1992. Thank you for this . PLEASE BE A PART OF MY LIFE and respond.

    It's mid March 2019.
