Thiz the shit... I was a young adult during the 80's baddest decade for music! We had it ALL... Never going to be anything like it again... Music nowadays is crap!
Kiss 108 in Boston was the only radio station that had this song in their rotation. So many folks in Southern New England never got a chance to hear it!
@@jameslineberger3823 WAAF was an awesome station as well. They played hard rock, heavy metal, glam rock, classic rock, and progressive rock. They would mix it all all up. It was great. They had some songs no one else would play too, Like "Don't pay the ferryman" by Chris Deburg , "Why Me?" by Planet P, Lunatic Fringe by Red Rider and "Voices" by Russ Ballard to name a few.
I heard this song in New Bedford 60 miles south of Boston , it was later banned for too racist then and some words were replaced. Still love the beat.2024
Born in 83, I called myself a disco lover as I got older. I had never heard this song until I saw a case on The People’s Court with a former band member being sued. Don’t know how I missed this one, but it has now been added to my playlist in 2023.
83? you a baby mami.......but I love that you feel this. Bowling Shirts, Melrose Donna Pants, Double Belts, Jellies and CANS of aquanet. I love these times!!!!! Beef???? Beef goes back to cain and able but we could shoot straight in the day.
I am 64 and I still adore this song. One of my top 5 all time dance tunes. I was 19 when I first heard it. I went out immediately and bought the 12’’ single. I used to dance to it at Chaps Boston.
Grew up in Springfield Gardens Queens NY live on same block as one of the members Machine named Lloyd heard them practicing this song in his backyard and living next door to him was Peppa from Salt and Peppa
All I know - I was young before NYC got all gentrified. I think it lost something in the process. Same is true of where I grew up it wasn't suburban at all but city all the way. Plenty of amusements for a kid to get into. Meanwhile my cousin who grew up in the burbs he got into drugs and well it's been part of his life. Me it was alcohol. Luckily I didn't get addicted. And I can recall in my teens trips into NY drving the cross Bronx expressway and cars burning in the median. Ah the times.
Disco is not dead! Some of us gen z’ers have our eyes and ears open and look for more things apart from modern pop brainrot. Lots of great music out there, this is one of my fav house disco songs! Wish I could hear it in a club in 2024!
One of the greatest disco tracks of all time, and its worth mentioning that the band leader later went on to create/lead Kid Creole and the Coconuts, which was another tremendously good group.
One of the best dance songs ever with an important message to top it off. They banned this version on the radio. You could only hear it in dance clubs. Still one of my favorite songs period. I was in my early 20s when this came out and every time I heard it in a club I would rush out to the dance floor.
I grew up in queens, nyc I was 10 at the time when this song came out. So i drew a connection to this song cuz I remember what the Bronx was like back in the day. We had a lot of what were called court parties and block parties back in the day (Either on the street, in the court yard or up on the bldg roof top) everyone came, young and old! For music, everyone brought their best disco vinyl albums, and this song was always at the top of the line up! We’d form dance lines where everyone got to show off their moves. It was such great times and such great memories!!!
Heard this walking down in a winter evening in NYC a few years back. Not sure why but it brought me back to the 70s… I was born in the 2000s. Just a great timeless song
Ahhhhhhh how I miss the disco era so much sometimes. It was really just a quick little few years of time but it was special magical electrifying and so much fun! 😅👌
A classic. I was only 3 years old when this came out. I can only imagine what it would be like hearing this in a club back in the 70s. Disco will never die.
First heard it in 1979 at Studio 54 in NYC. I was 19 and terrified and exhilirated and I remember it like it was yesterday. I would give anything to be able to relive one of those epic nights.
I was 16 and my older sisters would dress me up like their life sized barbie and bring me to the disco with them I'll never forget this song still love it after all these years although I'm a thru and thru rocker I still love the TRUE disco songs of the late 70's so much fun
I'm so glad you enjoyed my memory! Another great disco song from that time was This Time Baby by Jackie Moore if you haven't heard it check it out you'll like it! Merry Christmas!
timeless song!!!! I remember dancing to this in the House clubs back in the 90's . Places like the Tunnel, Old Roseland, Webster Hall, Lime Light and club MARS. etc. GREAT GREAT SONG!!!!
@@rossrichards3296 Astute Observation RossRichards Rolling Stone Could not have said it better .28 lead singer Earons from 👂🌎Just like you NYC Band ☮️🇺🇸🌎✍️🖼🎼🎶🎶🎶🎤Pass The 🎤🎙 the Queen is Dead
The year 1979….my age 9yrs old. I can CLEARLY remember this record being played in my 1970’s styled living room and my mom JUMPING UP saying to my Dad….yeah baby, you know that, that is my shiiiiiit!!! She would then grab me or which ever one of her kids were the closest to her and start spinning us around dancing super hard and super crazy!!!! BEST MEMORIES EVER!!!!! I ABSOLUTELY love this song!!!!! The vocals…the beat….and even the message is INCREDIBLE!!!
One of many great classics, I remermber this song from my club days! I used to love dancing with my partner and having a blast. The message is intense but true!
"Machine was an American funk disco group, formed by Jay Stovall in 1977. The band started in New York City with the intent to create the disco equivalent of R&B message songs." NYC > Chicago.
Soap Factory, Cliffside Park NJ…Sundays in 1979 were teen days…dancing at age 14 in a Danskin wrap around skirt and Candies ❤️ loved this song and love it now.
Anyone who grew up in NYC in the late 70’s to 80’s truly relates to this song. If your goal was to protect your family, and give your children a chance, this song was the gospel. My wife and I did exactly that, moving outside the city to give our children a childhood and peace of mind.
Another disco song, but later became a deep house jam in the early/mid 80's! Nothing but great memories from this song and going clubbing in high school!🥰
I actually liked this when it came out. As I'm older now and reflecting on some of the lyrics, it's not so great to me. "No blacks, no Jews and no gays" Wow, really!?!?! Their names sound as if they, too, might be "other" and might not be so accepted in the upper class area they want to move away to. 🤔
Omg.. was watching Drew Barrymore interview the singers daughter Ryan m. Bathe.. had to see what song her mother sang.. omg... this was one of my faves of all time..
I remember this as a young man in 79 and I went to all the music shops in Liverpool to get it to no avail !! I was so pissed 😤 it's wonderful to think 30 years later , I still buzz at listening and dancing to it
No Blacks,No Jews and No Gays, But Before the Grace of God We are Still Here All of Us Partying, Dancing Doing Our Thang All we want Like we want...A stone cold Jam Let's Keep getting it Yall !!!!!!
Very original and innovative song when this first came out, the tension in it affected listeners used to more innocent sounding music of the day. Always reminds me of the streets of NYC and how fast people moved about in 1979, the city having recovered from the doldrums of the early 70s.
Thiz the shit...
I was a young adult during the 80's baddest decade for music!
We had it ALL...
Never going to be anything like it again...
Music nowadays is crap!
Yes indeed ❤
@@DavidReyes-1970yes the music nowadays really sucks I am 43 and I listen to all ❤ older music 😊
@DanielleFIlippelli yes indeed .... me myself.... I stick to the script.
Music makes me ill anymore
Agree!
I’m 621 years old and I’ve been listening to disco since 1756.
😂
HAHAHAHA
So what on earth were you listening for the first 350 years of your life and why so late to disco?
@@farfisa that’s the problem I was not on earth and only came to earth in 1756 and immediately started listening to disco when I arrived
Lol that's how I feel listening to this! Man who even knows this song! Not many😁 I Love 💕 it!
Club mixes and dancing all night long. Leaving from the club and the sun was coming up. Good old days
They sure were although I can't imagine doing that now! Memories are so fun though!
U got that right! Great times!!
Totally! But that first glimpse of the sun after being in the dark all night is a killer!
Yes indeed it was! 🤣🤣
@@adinocc2042too many mornings blinded by sun.
Lol.
In NYC, the radio station WBLS played this song all the time.❤
Yesss. DJ Ruben Toro The Latin Bull on the weekends. 🥳
Wish I could have listened then
Frankie Crocker. The Chief Rocker !
And 92.ktu Jellybean played it too
BIG FACTS 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Kiss 108 in Boston was the only radio station that had this song in their rotation. So many folks in Southern New England never got a chance to hear it!
Boston Ma, and also keep in mind that in 1974 and it was a very controversial song
@@JosephFactsOnly 1974? I thought it came out in 78.
1:17 I had a radio DJ friend who worked for WAAF 107.3 in Worcester Ma back then.(Jeremy Savage).

This song was featured in the Netflix Series "The Get Down".
Here from that show too
What a great song
I am 64 and I still adore this song.
One of my top 5 all time dance tunes.
I was 19 when I first heard it. I went out immediately and bought the 12’’ single.
I used to dance to it at Chaps Boston.
❤ just like it was yesterday.
Chateau de ville saugus ma. Backstage disco Saturdays for teens. Lol.
Boston Boston
Lucifers
Circus Disco in LA. I'm 64, too. I still have the 12" vinyl.
In 1979 I was fired as a DJ at roller disco for playing this song. I still love this song.
They couldn't be bothered to learn the message of the song. LOL.
Damn shame.
to this day no other song broke it down like that
"She turns out to be a natural freak
Gaining weight and losing sleep" is a sick line, love it.
Native New Yorker and grew up when the clubs were pumping this jam!❤
^5 for nights at the Palladium fire door tryin to get in at 14. lol

@@JP-ur9zp so cool-you must have some great memories
I enjoy reading the comments about how everyone has fond memories about this song.
You had to go somewhere "SPECIAL" to hear this SONG back in the DAY!🎉😅
Grooving to this song still in 2023
In 2024!❤🎶🕺💃🎵
The message of this song still rings true till this day.

Boston, Ma. Back at ya. Still listening.@@coneyislandboo9048
This song is so true Today, after all these years
I remember going to the clubs on Landsdown St and Kenmore Square dancing to this 😁
Chaps and Buddies when they were near the Copley Square T Stop in Boston circa 1983.
I'm bless to be alive during this Disco era. 1974 I was 10 years of age.. Love you all ..
So Was I ❤
Who's listening out there I hope this brings back a lot of memories for a lot of people
There are simply no words to describe how GREAT this song was, is and forever will be ...
This song is literally an Anthem for the late 70's. This was the literal club starter song to get the crowd worked up.
How long did the DJs have it before it was released?
70s💚🕺✨🌼🕺🏻
I was a child I only know it from the radio, Frankie Crocker on NYC's WBLS
& it was awesome to dance to, hard to find a better song to do the hustle to
LOVED THIS SONG BACK THEN, STILL LOVING IT NOW...DEC. 7TH. THURSDAY 2023 🎉👍❤ !!

Evelyn Rivera man what you know bout that music a???
I Won in the O C 5 in 1957🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸5 Blues Of Not Knowing Tonight? this Rivera’s Of Who I Am From? good Or Not?
The whole instrumental on this song is lit 🔥
One of the greatest disco tracks of all time, and its worth mentioning that the band leader later went on to create/lead Kid Creole and the Coconuts, which was another tremendously good group.
August Darnell (Kid Creole) Co wrote the song.
Really? Thanks for that bit of knowledge! Wasn’t Kid Creole involved in Dr. Savannah’s Band as well? Talented guy if true.
Never heard of em
Dr Savannah's Band > Machine > Kid Creole. Wild career for an amazing and underrated musician.

What amazing classic disco song.
I have never even heard of this group. I was brought here after reading the book "First Legends of Disco". I missed out on so much Music.
Has to be one of the greatest disco songs ever made ? [and that incredible break from 2.36> is just pure genius ....]
