Yup, this along with Kool and the Gang's "Celebration" was a wedding reception staple.! Those songs are the only way to get those middle age, corporate white guys to get out there and do the White Man's Overbite!
THESE GUYS ROCK....REUNITED FOR THE 1ST TIME IN ALMOST 35 YEARS, LIMITED REHEARSAL TIME, THEY PULLED IT OFF...AND, THEY HAD A BLAST...AS FOR ME, I WAS AN INVITED GUEST, AND HUNG OUT BACKSTAGE WITH THESE AMAZING MUSICIANS....
I'M 59 NOW AND IF YOU ANYWHERE CLOSE TO MY AGE,I KNOW YOU COULDN'T KEEP STILL 2.AND FOR YOU NUTS OUT THERE WHO THINK TYPING IN BIG LETTERS MEANS I'M YELLING ALL THAT,COOL WITH ME.BUT JUST SO YOU NUTS KNOW,I ALWAYS TYPE IN BIG LETTERS.IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE FROM ME TO YOU AND NOT YELLING AND HOLLERING,BIG OR LITTLE LETTERS.
My all time favorite song! Born in ‘62 I got to experience all the great artist of this time. One of my all time favorites! Wow! One of my fav songs. Great to see and hear them again. Thanks for posting!🇨🇦🥰🇨🇦🥰🇨🇦🥰
Dale Val I used to have this song as my ring tone, (pre iPhone days). I was in a big meeting one day, and I had forgotten to silence my phone. This of course started playing. I was so embarrassed but everyone was like, no! Don’t answer it, let it play!
No substitute for the original! Thank you Rob for 43 years of one of the greatest hits in Rock & Roll history! I don't know of anyone that hasn't heard this at least once, and that includes even kids today. I'm old enough to remember when this came out in '76, as I was already out of high school for a couple years. So sorry to hear about Ron Beitle.. what an amazing drummer! RIP Ronnie! 🙂
I love Wild Cherry..from way back..I have your cassetts..My family knows how much I love you. I work hard each day...as a janitor...I love my job...Play that funky music is my favorite song..loved this video..Laura from NH
I remember this song play that funky music white boy man that song was off the chain ⛓️ I am 61 years old and I still love 💞 that song I am new to your channel
Around 1979 a neighbor I worked for who ( and I went to school with his daughter), was a millionaire,and hired a band to play at his home in Vicksburg Michigan for his business associates company gathering. We lived on a dirt road and 'Ron' lived on the inside corner. It was a home built into a hill w/solar pool and the works. I was riding my bike by and heard them playing this song! I was so disappointed that I wasn't invited for all the hard work I did for him. I knew this song before I heard it playing in front of his double 4 car garage and it will live on with me for ever!!! My #1 go to song!!!!!!!!!! To this day I always wondered if it was Wild Cherry! It wouldn't surprise me cause Ron could afford anything he wanted. Good times!!!
I played in the Ohio Valley back in the day. Got to know some of these guys. I played with Rob Parissi for a couple of years After this song came out. Great guy,Great musician,Great times! Love you,Brother👍❤
That really kicked ass! Sounded Great! I remember hearing this tune as a kid in my mom's station Buick Estate Station wagon. Groing up I always thought it was KC and the Sunshine band... Why..I don't know? Great song, Great performance, So Many Years Later!
Loveitloveitloveitloooooveit!!! So glad he closed the restaurant and got the group together!!! He STILL has that great voice and the band is STILL great (if not better)! Beautiful performance!😮😅😂🎵🎶🎼🎵🥂🤗💯👌
IMO, the greatest Disco song of all. It had it all. A funky beat, played by a great band, a great story line of how he learned his lesson that day and a writer and lead singer who definitely believed in this song. Horns telling and bass thumping, there is no other song from the disco era that can touch it. It reminded me of a gospel song in the way it told the story and that played in to the disco, which had a gospel feel.
Such a multigenerational impact! This is probably the number one “bridge” to Funk that everyone will eventually hear and appreciate when they cross genres. I love the Red Hot Chili Peppers but I’m not sure I could have without first hearing Wild Cherry.
Amen to that I used to dance around the room to this song when I was a little girl but, now I'm much older handicapped I have to use a wheelchair but I have such good memories thank your utube for showing me your video 😊
quéeeeeeeeeeeeeeee superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr geniallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, la bailo y canto todos los días para sentirme bien (y a mi marido ya se le pegó el estribillo) HERMOSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, y re bien cantada y tocada, UNA BENDICION DE CANCIÓN MIL GRACIASSSSSSSSSSS, Magú (ama de casa, casada, 57 años, porteña, argentina, melómana)
Still listening in 2020👍🔥❤ Still listening in 2020👍🔥❤ Still one of my favorite songs!!! I turned 16 on this funky music! And that's I still feel when you play it!
2014, You still sounded great, 38 years after the song came out! Awesome song, so glad it came out of your mind and you got it produced, even though it had "white boy" in it, haha ! It's a song that'll never go away, one for the record books! I first heard it back in 1977, in college in my boyfriend's dorm room in Indiana, he had the album, still remember the first time I heard it.
UNBELIEVABLE !!! THEY ARE BETTER NOW THAN BACK IN THE HAY DAYS !!!! I WAS 13 WHEN THIS SONG CAME OUT AND ROLLER SKATED AT SAINTS WEST, ILL NEVER FORGET THOSE DAYS , THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES !!
Would sell my soul if that's what it took to meet this man/genius, he's absolutely one of the best musicians in the business. Keep on keeping on my friend.

Real music........
I got to see these guys live in concert in 1978 in Albuquerque. I was only 19. I'm now 66 and still play that funky white music. Love this song.
Cool song 😎
Man that kit sounds awesome! The whole band absolutely rocks. As a 61 year old drummer.

This song is a symbol of the 70's. Not many people do not know this one. This song always gets folks on the dance floor. Well done.
Absolutely yes! Was in my teens then. Great times!
Well said, Donny. I'm old enough to remember this song when it first came out. Nothing like it, before or since. Outstanding!
Totally agreed ... I was in my mid teen when this song was very popular.
Don't know it?!! My whole neighborhood knows it now!!
Música fuerte, pegajosa, y alegre. Ganas de bailar y cantar.

Born in 63 and still funking!!
Those white boys sure did play that funky music! One of my all time favorites. Luv it since the 70's! Bravo👏🎶🎼🎸❤️
Boy was this a time to live and have some good times. ❤
Still got it'!!! I remember my absolute disbelief when I discovered Rob Parissi was not Black--the richness and soul of his vocals still blow me away.
True ❤
Incredible how a short work turns into such a timeless classic
that will be played forever.
A good song 50 years ago is a good song now! I'm still playing that funky music!!!
My all time favorite song! Born in ‘62 I got to experience all the great artist of this time.
One of my all time favorites!

@@Jana-TheCraftyGambler haha that's funny, if I was there, I'd have yelled let it ring, give her a raise!
@@daleval2182 Same here and I like this song as much now as I did when it came out,..... listening to it over and over while typing this!!!
62 was a crazy year to be born but also the right time to be born to be able to appreciate the REAL music that we were blessed to hear.
Amazing how the song and the talent have stood the test of time.
WOW!!! They still sound the same!!! I was in high school when this song came out and believe me, we jammed hard off this song. "GO WILD CHERRY"!!!!😎🎶
Not even close
I was born in 1968 and this song its my favorite for all time....best regards from Juárez City México.
Mine too, you hear it...can't be still!
We just danced to this song at a wedding reception and my three old went crazy dancing to this! So fun!
Played that funky song a few times in my 37 year career as a drummer !
Dancing to this song at the Royal Pub in Washington , Pa. Wild Cherry would pack them in! To be young again...
This song got me started playing bass, 50 yrs later still carrying the low luggage. Greatest song ever
This puts a Big Smile on my Face.

Thoughts and prayers to the original bass player, Larry Brown's family. R.I.P. Larry.

This is awesome. I always wondered if these guys ever had a live version anywhere and they did, right in my hometown ten years ago!
I bought this on 45 when it came out and I still have it . How can you not bust a move when you hear it .
Such a multigenerational impact! This is probably the number one “bridge” to Funk that everyone will eventually hear and appreciate when they cross genres. I love the Red Hot Chili Peppers but I’m not sure I could have without first hearing Wild Cherry.
I was 20 years old and going to be a junior in college in the fall. It was a great, funky sound, White Boys!!!
This very song will always get everyone rolling on the floor! 🤣 so hypnotizing!!!!
