The idea for the lyrics was to spotlight each member of the band was really cool at the time. They introduced themselves with their name and astrological sign. The verses read like personal ads, as each member makes his pitch to the ladies. They briefly expressed their true feelings of what kind of woman they liked. Brilliant!
Man, I miss the 70's! In the 50's. 60's and 70's the brothers put out music that will NEVER be matched. If you are old enough to have been there and seen it happen you are one lucky SOB! Amen...
I was born 12/22/76 and I close my eyes lay my head back and see Gramma and aunts/uncles just dancing n twisting n turning...my God how i miss them🥹 but they taught me how to "FLOAT ON" so that's what I'm gonna do❤😇💃🏾
This is true classy music and presentation. No baseball caps, no sagging pants, no angst, no anger, no profanity. Just pure talent and class. Thank you.
I'm a DJ and I played this at a tiki bar... I had a dozen girls dancing to this.... Thank you, Floaters... I remember when this song came out. Give me the 70s again.
My mom would listen to this as she drove. I miss her now I know why she played it. She was pretending to float off to love land while I was still in car I love you mom
This was absolutely the best music, i am just seating her, enjoying the silk voices, thinking about how my aunt and uncles would play this beautiful song. Dang, how i miss those days.
Aries..on the cusp..and my name is Rob. I like a woman who can see past the powder blue tuxes and the cheesy spoken word intros, and can appreciate the smoothness of the chorus, and how it (and the tuxes) brings back my own seventies memories...
I was 21 when the Floaters made this song. It's been one of my favorite R&B tunes ever since. I still listen to this regularly when I'm getting my steps in or riding my bike around the hood..
In 1977 I met my husband to be. He played this song in his 73 El Dorado Coup. Brings back tender and special memories of genuine love. Married 30 plus years, RIP until we meet again in heavens glory.
Come, take my hand. I play this in my love land. We walked in our nieces house and her 9 year old was grooven to Float On! Sweet. And the boy has moves and already is a ladies man. Gotta love life!
This brings back memories! It was back to school time, and the State Fair was Starting Up in Richmond in September of '77 growing up listening to WLEE Pop/Rock Station in Richmond Virginia! WANT Soul Station.
I have never heard this song before. I was 23 in 1979. Busy with a new marriage, new baby, just starting college and a part time job…I guess I was too busy.
Bliss sound. Great choreography and styling. Once heard never forgotten. Phrases that have come back into my head over the past 40 or so years. Would like to hear more of their sound...music in UK was always limited to what was doled out to us..and the radio DJ s. Or am I wrong?

They don't make silky smooth music like this anymore. I could listen to this forever.

Libra, and my names is Charles. Sang chile!!!! Love all them, but Charles is my favorite 😍
ABSOLUTELY!!! Mine Too!!
He was the best!
My husband sang this song to me 3 weeks before he died. So special and I listen to it everyday.
A elegância, não apenas na vestimenta, mas nos gestos e principalmente na música.

Sem dúvida.Elegantissimos.

When hearing this song,it sends chills to my bones.
Right on baby
The master piece.
Grew up listening to oldies with my dad…I miss him..he’s not gone just chose his wife over his kid and grandchildren 😢😢😢
3:49 It’s classy, timeless and not made anymore. Beautiful brothers from Detroit. Float on!
Beyond and beyond!!
Oh.... and the suits are so so flamboyant 😂❤
1:10 when it goes from rim shot to full snare absolutely Beautiful
In 1977 I met my husband to be. He played this song in his 73 El Dorado Coup. Brings back tender and special memories of genuine love. Married 30 plus years, RIP until we meet again in heavens glory.
It's a shame that music lost its magic, and now we hear the drummer carrying the beat to anger and disruption. I always enjoyed this song.
Love love love this song …….loved all 70’s (and 60’s) music …we will probably never hear music like this again
Reached NO.1 this week in the U.K. (22/08/1977) knocking Brotherhood Of Man "Angelo" off the top spot.
The week after Elvis died.
Come, take my hand. I play this in my love land. We walked in our nieces house and her 9 year old was grooven to Float On! Sweet. And the boy has moves and already is a ladies man. Gotta love life!
Una delle piu' belle canzoni degli anni 70...che emozioni quando la si ascoltava alla radio...👏👏👏👍
Y’all had the best music in the 70!s
Where all the backing singers are lead singers, really amazing 👏
Beleza pura. Eu tinha 22 anos nesta época. Era em 1978, hoje estou com 68 anos e escuto esta maravilha de música até.
Y’all era had the best music!! Real Music
Oh yeah, first serious love in my life. You never forget your first. May he rest in peace
They are phenomenal 😍 ❤️
When ppl respected their selves.
Bought this 45 when it came out in 1977 and I still have it!😀
The floaters were the best, sure there was other bands that were hitting the charts back then but no one sang like the floaters (float on).
I still love this song 50 yrs after I first heard it
Nothing beats old school smooth 🔥
What a great song, so smooth and listenable. Some really terrific music came out of the 1970´s, music like this.
Absolute epitome of gold standard dance routines and superb individual vocal ability - but for me, Larry always had the edge ...
The long version of this song is my start of the day music. So to all my fellow Floaters out there ....... Floattt....Onnnn.....Yeahhhhhhhh!!!😊
Aaahhhhh..... those were the days with one of the best songs ever
💖💖💖
Eu viajo no tempo, era a minha música preferida na época (me recordo de uma quase namorada)kkkkkk
Shalom & RIP Paul Mitchell of The Floaters. Yes, we love them in ISRAEL too.
UK too.
Nice to know you guys understand good soul music
Eita tempo de escola, que tocava nos bailezinhos e dançava! Essas músicas não acabam!👋👋🙌❤❤
RIP Larry and Paul!!!
This brings back memories! It was back to school time, and the State Fair was Starting Up in Richmond in September of '77 growing up listening to WLEE Pop/Rock Station in Richmond Virginia! WANT Soul Station.
What a great song and video. Great choreography.
21 year old here in my SS playing this on broadway in LA jamming
Came from Cali Life Style.
This song, and the instrumental really gets me sentimental.
What a beautiful song!
TIMELESS MUSIC!!!! NEVER GETS OLD
Música de qualidade você ouve 1 2 3 milhões de vezes e não enjoa essa música é um clássico, lindíssima para pessoas de Garbo Elegância.💖🎷💖🎸💖🎷💖🎸💖🎷💖🎸.
PERFECT !! Saudades boas !!
👍🏻 Concordo
Top Pop Of The Decades Music. KEEP IT UP. God Bless You So Much.
Absolutely superb. Incredible voices and classy performers. Just beautiful music. I'm so glad I got to enjoy the greatest era in music.
Great song! All the singers - great! Definitely has a 'float' feel about it. Shame this was their only big hit, but heck, quality not quantity.
Fantastic!
I have never heard this song before. I was 23 in 1979. Busy with a new marriage, new baby, just starting college and a part time job…I guess I was too busy.
Super song that I have rediscovered. And the choreography is amazing. 🔥❤
Good TIMES
Muito Muito BOM
Época dos bailes aos domingos.
👏👏👏
Still listening!😊
This song was DA BOMB!! Especially @1:20 Sing it!!!
My stepdad raised me off of this song as I was a kid coming up and I loved it ever since
Float on in 2024, and counting.... ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥
Roller skating Vibes 🥶
Bellos seres humanos!Talentosos! Temazo divino!Los amo!❤❤❤❤
Bliss sound. Great choreography and styling. Once heard never forgotten. Phrases that have come back into my head over the past 40 or so years. Would like to hear more of their sound...music in UK was always limited to what was doled out to us..and the radio DJ s. Or am I wrong?
