"Our love is like a ship on the ocean... we've been sailing with a cargo full of love and devotion..." great verse...
This group had GREAT vocalists and their harmonies were SO good
In its day, it was everywhere. Still love it.

I liked the blooper
A solid 5 for me. I have always loved this song. Back In the 70's We had No Internet, No Cell Phones, No Pay Tv, No X Box, No Play Station and absolutely No Problems, No Worries and Not a Care In The World.
That's because you were a kid....I promise you your parents had problems like paying the bills
Except for Nixon, Vietnam, oil embargo. Stuff like that.

@@jasonfrodoman1316and it just got worse when the peanut farmer won the presidency. Thank god Ronald Reagan was just around the corner
🤣🤣🤣somebody should have suggested KC’s “Shake your Boot-ay” I’m weak⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Angela should put a Booty jar by her chair and put a dollar in it every time she says booty
I was 7 years old when this came out. My mom (recently passed) was still in her 20's and we got transistor radios for Christmas! Thanks for the memories with this song!
use of the word transistor can be dangerous today lol. "Your sister is what?"
Most musicians and experts agree that this song meets all the criteria to actually be the first disco song.
In style, composition
And musical cadence.
Still wasn't a song, in the disco era.
"Rock the Boat" is considered one of the earliest disco songs. Some authorities proclaim it to be the first disco song to hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, while others give that distinction to "Love's Theme" by Love Unlimited Orchestra or "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)" by MFSB, both chart-toppers from earlier in 1974. The song became a gold record.
I've always loved this song- I was in high school when it came out and everytime I've heard it on the radio, countless times over the years, I've always wanted to listen to it again and again. .
I was born in '77 and music was a big part of life right away and I was brought up on songs like this and absolutely LOVE them.
Always a Great Sing along 🎶! This was one those Hits they Played on the Radio All the time! This was Definitely the Summer of 74! That Summer was this Song! George Macrea ,ROCK Ya BABY! Paul McCartney & Wings with, BAND on the RUN! Seals & Croft with, SUMMER BREEZE! And Finally Gordon Lightfoot with, SUNDOWN! Great Summer for Songs 🎶. This Song, Rock the Boat , and All the Others I mentioned get a 5 from Me! And the 10 year old me from 74! 😁
The ten year old you had a great taste in music 😂
As a child of the 70's I gotta say these were the best years. The music, movies my long hair. lol And lets not forget the organic refreshments. Dig it Angela.
Dig it back lol 70 71 72 73 74 75 7677 78 79 FANTASTIC BEST 10 YEARS EVER 4 MUSUC
I don't know when you were born, but I think by lookin, it was 45 years after you were born musically. You are definitely born for 70's music.
I loved this back in the day
This song always gets me moving and happy!
Ever since I heard this song back in the 70’s I have always loved it! Brings back sweet memories of my childhood. It’s a solid 5 for me. Very good reaction video, by the way!😊👍
PLEASE CHECK OUT ID LOVE YOU TO LOVE ME BY LOBO ITS A WONDERFUL LOVE SONG FROM THE EARLY 70s
@@theodoreritola7641Oh yes, I know that song quite well! I agree with you, it is a wonderful song and I have always loved it very much!😊👍
A definite FIVE on the boogie meter 😂.. its great to dance to..great memories for me..🇬🇧💕✝️🙏🇺🇸👍
Always regarded this as the very first disco song.
I remember hearing this on the Radio at the Lake in July 74. Gee, that was 50 yrs ago
Like others here I was a kid in the seventies too and like they said there was no internet, nada. No cable television. No telephone answering machines. No vcr's. No personal computers. What there was were books, newspapers, magazines, vinyl records, eight-track tapes, and a handful of broadcast television stations depending on the size of the city you lived in, with some still broadcasting in black and white, and maybe two dozen radio stations on the AM and FM radio bands. Some FM stations broadcast in stereo with higher audio quality that sounded pretty good on a relatively inexpensive stereo system with two ten or twelve inch speakers. The audio equipment available today is incredible in contrast, but it developed from that last generation of analog tech. Anyway. I probably spent more time as a kid playing games outside, riding bicycles around the neighborhood, and getting into trouble than consuming media. But the radio delivered music and music is content you can listen to while doing other things. So songs like "Rock the Boat" remain etched in my mind from hearing them on the radio over the course of several years. The Temptations definitely inspired the style of the song, but they inspired the style of a lot of songs in the seventies. Check out The O'Jays "Use Ta Be My Girl" from 1978 or Earth, Wind & Fire "Shining Star" from 1975. But for a song nearer in time to "Rock the Boat", check out George McCrae "Rock Your Baby" from 1974 or Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose "Too Late To Turn Back Now" from 1972 or back to The O'Jays with "Love Train" from 1972.
Takes me back to when I was 14 years old and my late elder brother treated himself to K-Tels 40 Super Greats album, this track was first play on the 1st LP of the two LP album, played it over and over….fantastic times….its a 5 from me.
You won't hear harmonizing like this on the radio anymore
Often seen as one of the first disco songs. Glad you've found this classic. Disco, the music of love and inclusion.
Went #1 on the US Billboard Weekly Pop Chart in the summer of '74. Ahead of it's time.
In 8th grade, my was bllack and beautiful and we danced to this at the St. Patrick day dance at school . Oh and yes...Angela is beautiful.
The great, and tragic, Jim Gordon on Drums. You know its a strong pop tune when they can slip a bar of 7/4 in at the beginning of each chorus.
man this is an explosion of better times and music . so much funnnnnn
Just watched the Hues Corporation on Blacula the other night🎼🧛🏾♂️
My earliest recollection of this song was being at the beach as a kid when it would come on the radio. We all would just be singing and dancing to it. Wonderful memories.
you are reading my mind! " i am ok with that"! i knew you would like it! it was a solid 3 for me but this is from a 1974 10 year old! i like body talk! you keep saying it for a reason!
Ahhh! When discos started to open around and this was one of the first BIG hits that was popular. My 7/8 grade school dances...a little samba beat that was groovin'!
Great disco dancing memories.
One of the first songs I ever heard on radio when I was 5.
They turned genius bassist james jamerson loose to do his thing. Two melodies in 1 song - hues and jamerson. He was the motown sound as part of the funk brothers studio band.
this was the start of the disco era
This is one of those songs that brings back a memory for me. I was 12 and I was excited about going down to Huntington Beach late at night to go grunion with my brother and his his girlfriend home from college break. We heard it on the radio that night. Still like it.
It's a 5 for me because its more than just a song, it comes with memories of my childhood growing up listening to this song over the radio waves when it first came out. Great video reaction Angela.
This was considered by many the first disco song!
great song! thanks when a kid me and my siblings were on a water ride at cedar point back in the 70s. we sang this. this song always brings joy when i hear it:)
Cedar Point Baby!
These were such great days!
An Absolute Staple in the 70's!!
This was considered the first disco song to reach #1 on the charts. I like it. It sounds good to me and brings back fond memories.
That's not true, the disco era hadn't even started yet. This was an R & B song from the 70s. The first disco song to hit the top spot in era was Johnny Taylor's Disco Lady. Wikipedia is alway trying to rewrite history and tell us who were there how it was (but it wasn't)...
@@mickdenis6630 I didn't get that info from Wikipedia. Casey Kasem mentioned it several times over the years on his countdown show. Also everything I have read says 1974 not 1976, was the start of the disco era. Gloria Gaynor's disco version of "Never Can Say Goodbye" was 1974 and Van McCoy's "The Hustle" was 1975.
@@mickdenis6630 "Disco Lady" was the first #1 song with the word disco in the title but disco was in full swing by then. I remember, I was alive back then and listening to it.
@@StatisticsJason Well what you read and being there, are 2 different things.. the disco era is from 75-80. I though Disco Lady was 75, my bad (top of 76). If you want to get official, the disco charts began in September of 1974, Gloria Gaynor was the first #1 on the disco chart, the song never went #1 on the pop charts (#9). Rock the Boat and Rock Your Baby (George McCrae) precede September of 74. The Hustle was a dance of the era, and I have heard it mention before, but then again, come to think of it, Labelle's Lady Marmalade hit #1 at the end of March 75. I disagree that disco era was in full swing in 76, it was in full swing in 77/78, set off by SNF in 77, and that is when all the dance shows starting popping up on tv, Club 747 etc and later Dance Fever.
Oh, yeah, this takes me back. I was 16 years old when this was released. Were they a one hit wonder? I honestly can't remember another song by them.
Great voices and a nice song
Very memorable song. I was probably knee high when this came out, and it was on the radio. Still recall it, though.
I love this song. Thank you mom for introducing me to this song. This was the first song I ever heard. Great reaction. 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
Haven't heard this in forever! What a fun song.
It’s actually the Hues Corporation.
Thanks so much for catching that! Fixed it in the title. 🫶🏽
@@DayOneReacts But they owned a really big business...it was a Huge corporatiom!
@@DayOneReacts lol
The bump was a huge dance🤘❤️
You have an outstanding vocal talent. I mean really !
Always loved this song, it came out the year I graduated high school. I think this was their only hit. They recorded some other songs called "Freedom for the Stallion" and "There he is again."
Total classic
I'm really glad I subscribed to you channel. A long time ago actually. When this song came out my second son was closing in on 1 year old. I know exactly where I lived and everything else.
So glad you listened to it. I would give it a 4-1/2. It's almost perfect.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe. I mean EVERYONE!!
My dad has this song on a record he used to listen to it a lot
10th Grade for me, great memories!!! Love it!
First song to introduce the line “Rock on with your bad self.”
A good one from the early 70s" WANT ADS" by the group HONEY CONE!
Yup good one- but she already reacted to it. Just put “Want Ads Reaction” in the TH-cam search bar and scroll till you see it.
Rock on with your bad self. Considered one of the first disco songs. Its a 💎
Ever since our voyage of love began.....
I haven't heard this in sooo long! Thanks for reacting to it.
bring back disco i say!, cool song, remember vis on v radio whn i was a child, catchy, gd hook. liken ur smile n moves
It is a timeless song. Yes it was in a Soda commercial P@PS! or C@K£. Loving this 70's Dance Trip
Great reaction. I agree - a 3 for me. Love it but wouldn’t rush the dance floor on the first note. This tune predates disco, which hit its zenith 2/3 years later. It’s a very infectious song!!
Somebody has probably mentioned how this is a thing in Ireland to do a group dance at a wedding. Featured on "The Derry Girls" series.
Another song that you reacting to that no one else is reacting to.
One of my faves ever! I have fun memories of hearing it on the radio in the good ole 70’s. it always makes me smile and is good to listen to while vacuuming! It’s a 5 for me!
I have this as my ring tone, ages me!
A booty meter 😆 this a disco classic 5. The 60's & 70's was awesome music era
Very very good reaction also Angela and your chair dancing is awesome as well 😊👍 The tempo was a little bit faster than the Barry White song so I'm going to give it a 4 but it's not full charge 5 yet there's more songs coming on the list so everybody get ready and get down to boogie and on the dance floor bye for now 😊👍
and the goddess dances for us again...
For a 70's dance party you need some funkadelic. Knee deep is a staple of the house party.
HOW ABOUT PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC WHITE BOY WILD CHERRY 1976 WITH THE CHERRY IN THE LADYS MOUTH YOUL DIG IT 70s style
Fun, fun song!
There's some songs you would like. Stomp BY Brother Johnson, The Hustle by Van Mccoy, Rock Steady, And the Beat goes on both by The Whispers, Carribbean Queen by Billy Oacean, Boogie Wonderland by Earth, Wind and Fire, just to get you started. Love your reactions in the 70's. My dancing years. ❤🎶🎤🫶👩🦳👍👋🎵🩷🎶🫡
Wow, I didn't know that they sing this song. I've seen the movie Blacula many times and this group made a cameo appearance in the movie as the night club singing group. I did not know that they were a real singing group until now. And I wouldn't've known that they sing the song Rock the boat. The next time I watch the move Blacula I'm definitely going to be thinking of their hit song Rock the boat.
This is a fun idea Angela. Love it!
I remember this song from when I was a kid, brings back memories
A 4 for me. I've loved this song since I was a kid when it came out. It always make me smile
A 4 to 4.5 sounds like a good rating to me.
I just be shake my groove thang
Love this song and video.I believe that they were from Florida
The group Hughes corporation appeared in the movie Blacula
I missed this review.Nine years old in 1974,the song brings back memories of baseball cards and playing outside.Chorus sounds like a hit ,other parts of the song not terribly exciting.
Hues Corporation and it was released in 1973. I had this album.
Hello Angela & Day One " please react to The Crown Heights Affair
& Bt Express " Do it till your satisfied " , they will definitely have you shaking your booty 😉
50 yrs old & Rock the boat is still rocking 1900-2000 was the best Millennium of music.
1976 - "Turn The Beat Around" - Vicki Sue Robinson
Full version!
"Hues Corporation"... Howard Hughes was the most notorious, bizarre, reclusive super rich guy of this era.
70's suggestion - "Sail On" by The Commodores.
I think this song was in the movie "The Martian". Great song. Classic. Catchy.
1950's suggestion - "Rockin Robin" by Bobby Day
Derry Girls 😉
Angela - are you still taking suggestions? My sure fire 5 is “Lovin’ is Really My Game” by Brainstorm. (1978) I think you would love it! 😍
Hues Corporation
I rate it a 5 👍
Hi Angela,
I believe this was the first number one of the Disco era. It’s a huge hit. And you chair-danced just fine!❤
I’m going to give you a suggestion when the dancing is over. I have a contender for Her Voice!, this is my nominee. Amazingly it’s a Carpenters cover! Who’d a thunk it? Someone covering Karen being a contender for the title. Well here ya go. The song is We’ve Only Just Begun. The nominee it Tori Holub, she’s 20 the same age as Karen in the same song. I’m confident if you see this you’ll put her in the Her Voice! Class. Wings of Pegasus analyzed her and found no autotune, no pitch correction. Just a normal clean voice. His episode on Tori has passed 250K views. So, I’m not alone.
Thank you for your time Angela. The link is below.
