When this song was on the charts, I remember driving through the Bronx to go to Jones Beach, Long Island. Who would have thought...........that was a memory creating
Originaldisco should be given a GOLD MEDAL for posting this incredible tune--one of the greatest if not the greatest dance song ever!! God I remember back in the day the late, great soul station WEBB in Baltimore played the HELL out of this and it ALWAYS sounded alive and fresh even after you heard it a thousand times!! Why can't music be like this today?!
You're correct Bill. In Holland it's completely sh*t on the radio. "Dance" is systematically ignored, sabotaged, banned by bad tasted DJ's. The only exeption were Ferry Maat and Mart Vanderstat. But check out Sublime Radio. I think you will be suprised about their offer and taste. player.sublimefm.nl/ or sublimefm.nl/ (press the -luister live - button upper right on the screen)
@@ruiker1 Listen to radio 2, Corné Klijns Soul Sensations, every saturday at 18.00, followed by Soul Night with One'Sy at 21.00. Its loaded with soul/disco/funk classics from mostly the 70s and 80s. I love it!
This is the original stone cold jam that I use to listen to in Barbados way back in time. Those glorious 80's. That was when soul music was at its best. Brilliant post!!!
Absolutely, without a doubt, one of the best dance songs ever!!! Picture the scene in your mind, getting a call and heading out for a night of dancing. The arrangment, instruments and words, make me want to dress up and go out dancing! Darn, they don't have big dance clubs with great music like this anymore!!! "How about your company this evening. Won't you say that you are free"! Nice lyrics compared to the junk today.
+tom gallant I was only in 1st grade lol. But I remember this being played on the radio and by my older relatives. Amazing how music can instantaneously bring you to specific moment in time.
How's about your company this evenin' Won't you say that you are free Take you out to somewhere really special Oh won't you come along with me From what I've heard them say The music that they play Is nothin' like you've ever heard before Once you get to dancin' you can stomp your feet 'Cause the rhythm keeps in time What do you say now? Are you ready or not It's only up the street Everybody's dancin' And everybody's on the beat I'm a-beggin' you now It's where we both could be Everybody's dancin' And everybody's on the beat Are you ready or not It's only up the street Everybody's dancin' And everybody's on the beat Say that you'll accept this invitation Oh won't you say you'll come along Music can give lovers inspiration It's just a place where we could go Nobody has a care 'Cause there's music in the air It's nothin' like you've ever seen before People dancin' all night long Won't you say you've got the time You wanna go there? Are you ready or not It's only up the street Everybody's dancin' And everybody's on the beat Are you ready or not It's where we both could be Everybody's dancin' And everybody's on the beat you and I should go together (What you say) it's for everyone to see (What you say) do you want to come along with me?
Great disco hit by one more studio disco group created by the talented italian producers Jacques Fred Petrus and Mauro Malavasi. B.B.&Q. Band are best remembered for hypnotic floorfiller “On The Beat” (#3 Billboard’s Disco Chart; #8 Billboard’s R&B Singles Chart), a joyous dance groove driven by funky rhythm guitars and vocals influenced by disco legends Chic. “On The Beat” was one of the best dance songs of 1981.
Que de souvenirs un de mes titres préférés parmis tant d'autres une époque que je n'oublierai jamais ou l'on sortait tout les week-ends en boîte pour s'éclater tout cela me manque terriblement douloureusement 😭😭😭
happy memories of funn times of this song ,dating back in the day. very classy what an era people were better back then .how I wish those days never ended ,great songs food much respect everyone had back then.
The best music in the world ! Brooklyn, Bronx and Queens- you are simply THE BEST ! Your music makes me higher and higher. Sort of magic ! Always and forever !
Este era Hino ... o tema de abertura do melhor primeiro (e melhor) programa de radio em Portugal para divulgação de "black musica" - chamava-se "Discoteca" e passou na Radio Comercial nos 80' apresentado pelo Adelino Gonçalves. O programa era das 13-15h durante a semana , e isso era no tempo em que os teenagers faltavam ás aulas para ir para casa ouvir rádio! :-)
I've finally found it! I've got a single by a guy called Dan Traxx called Up the Street that I've been trying to find the sample it uses and here it is!
in 1984 Peter King had a show called Night Life in Montreal at midnight. The intro would be this song to the shine of evening headlights in bumper-to-bumper traffic downtown.
Época incrível essa dos anos 1980. Aqui no Rio de Janeiro a Rádio Cidade bombava e junto com ela a melhor Boate que o Rio de Janeiro teve... Cassino Royale.
Blinding tune from my days of going to the lyceum in the strand in London, wicked times, sweet girls, great cars, ream music, and good friends, simples..........
That must have been awesome! On St Catherine no doubt, lol. I was born in 86' so I missed out on that scene, but damn, puts one hell of an awesome image in my head. Now it's Virgin Radio featuring "Crap" and "More Crap"
I used to roller skate to this back in the eighties ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so stoned... that bassline... that synths... THAT GUITAR OMG. God bless this truly powerful and lovely music.
My 4 year old goes absolutely crazy when I play this song! He loves to sing along with it LMAO!!!!
Danya he’s 7 now right? He still into this song?
😀😀😀😀😀
When music was music and it made you move to the beat!
Absolutely Nowadays There's nothing but crap on the Radio
I just can't get enough of this track.
It's not just a production, it's an invention!!!
quem curtiu,curtiu, quem não curtiu chora na cama que é um lugar quente.anos 70 e 80 é tudo só quem viveu essa época que sabe.

I love the disco and funk songs of the 70s & 80s. This song is so good
17 and getting my groove on back in 81 this was and is an awesome track CLASS ☺

Oh yes
I was in 10th grade when this song came out. Brings me back to a great time in my life!!
+tom gallant I was only in 1st grade lol. But I remember this being played on the radio and by my older relatives. Amazing how music can instantaneously bring you to specific moment in time.
How's about your company this evenin'
Won't you say that you are free
Take you out to somewhere really special
Oh won't you come along with me
From what I've heard them say
The music that they play
Is nothin' like you've ever heard before
Once you get to dancin' you can stomp your feet
'Cause the rhythm keeps in time
What do you say now?
Are you ready or not
It's only up the street
Everybody's dancin'
And everybody's on the beat
I'm a-beggin' you now
It's where we both could be
Everybody's dancin'
And everybody's on the beat
Are you ready or not
It's only up the street
Everybody's dancin'
And everybody's on the beat
Say that you'll accept this invitation
Oh won't you say you'll come along
Music can give lovers inspiration
It's just a place where we could go
Nobody has a care
'Cause there's music in the air
It's nothin' like you've ever seen before
People dancin' all night long
Won't you say you've got the time
You wanna go there?
Are you ready or not
It's only up the street
Everybody's dancin'
And everybody's on the beat
Are you ready or not
It's where we both could be
Everybody's dancin'
And everybody's on the beat
you and I should go together
(What you say) it's for everyone to see
(What you say) do you want to come along with me?
First heard this early 82 still sends a tingle down my spine as it did all those years ago...choooooon. .😊
so many good memories in the 80s would luv them days back
