Unless you actually lived through those golden years of the 1970’s you will never understand what it was like to be a young male living in such a time when we had real music such as this . . I’m now 64 and still love this fantastic decade of music and when I had my own mobile disco this track was a floor filler of the highest order. So let’s hear it for the Players Association and the superb 1970’s.
I was a Co- Dj in the biggest Funky Disco in Town .Was just 16 years old.Now i am 61.I Have over 1500 vinyls bought them at that time all.Now i am an Artsit too as KpS Soul .Yes that time was great and will never come back :)
Imagine....you enter a club.....you walk down those steps to the bar and are served some of the finest beer ever....and this track is playing FULL blast....and it's 1979......I was there....yes I was.....amazing
1979 I was 21, walk in the disco this was playing, straight on the dance floor, whether at my local disco or out of town, listening to Greg Edwards on the radio too. Oh fantastic memories
Greg Edwards OMG !!! Are you from the UK. Greg Edward was a must to listen to before you went out to a night club. Us ladies knew how to wear high and still do the dance moves 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
I thank the lord for being born in 58 so that I could dance my ass off in the mid to late 70's with my girl & friends in some of the London's best disco's........if I ever get the chance of being born again I'm gonna ask for the same year, place & time so that I can relive what I can only describe IMO as the best era for dance music....you had to be there to understand.
In 1979 I was just 12 years old when my "big brother" bought this on 12" vinyl. Think I wore that record out , but have loved this sound ever since!!! Classic !!!😍😘😘😍🎷🎺🎺
this brings tears to my eyes! The memories are just so beautiful. I thank the Lord God almighty I was there & I was heading to my 21st birthday! it has become my fav disco track along with Native New Yorker! Love to all. Xxx
1979 was a good year with club classics like this. Players Association's horn section was as tight as they came. Jamming this in November, 2022. Rolling back the years. Love it. Thank you Danny Weiss for the gift of music.
@@danw1374 Amen bruv 👍👌 , edit afterthought, the amount of disco tracks that have been sampled not only in House music but a variety of genres is off the hook.
I was a DJ in Fulham, London in 1979 when this popped up on an Export listing and Redcliffe Records in Chelsea threw it at me, sat in the booth and thought wow this is a banger!!! Never failed to fill the dance floor........classic....mmmmmm!
Ever since I heard this track for the first time played on "Tony Prince's" Radio Luxemberg radio show I knew it was a hit from that very first play . . . without doubt a jazz funk classic of the highest order bar none. . . Awesome!!!! Hello to all disco lovers from the 1970’s from Scotland.
Haha I was at School And would listen to RL208 -Late at night in bed - The sound would fade in and out ! - When Radio Luxenburg stopped at 3am ( Ithink) -The American Services would start - More great music ! My mother bless her would always threaten to take my radio off me at the breakfast table before school ? Haha ! Best Wishes & Keep Safe - SB. Yorkshire
Gerrard Kelly Ah fab memories Gerrard, I too remember the Lyceum so well ❤️. Gregg Edwards is still on the airwaves with his Soul Spectrum show and gigging at soul events . When I hear tracks like this and ‘Hard Work’ ‘Back Strokin’ ‘So Fine’ and ‘Amigo’ it takes me straight back to that dance floor. Fantastic times and memories for sure 👍❤️
The 70s wasn't devoid of its challenges. However with music like this we could just blank out the troubles and get lost in the music and the clubs we danced in. I miss that Era very much.
I love it! Effortless and breezy. Then builds towards a big crescendo but then settles back into the groove just before reaching it, ensuring you keep dancing or tapping your feet. Pure genius! It reached number 8 on the UK chart which it thoroughly deserved.
As a dj of 48 years i can tell EVERYONE here 77/ 79 were the absolute peak years for Disco / Dance music. Hit after hit after hit came along. Its no surprise or indeed coincidence that STUDIO 54 hayday were in these years...
From all the comments, that seem to be coming from the UK, it seems to certify that they were enormous DISCO lovers much more so than the USA fans. Surprisingly this brilliant group did not do too well on this shores, never made it to the Billboard list. Very hard to digest, since i consider them to be exceptional. And will duplicate all the adulatory praises they posted.
It's the first real spring day we've had this year today and I just played this one turned right up to high volume,with the back door open,and it seems to have got all the birds singing away out there!
im 52 in 1979 i met my girl in the crystal palace hotel disco im still with her now the music brings us both such great memories of our lives together the music will stay with us both for the rest of our lives long live disco
Just a total mind f***k of a tune and the louder you play it the deeper it grabs you what a disco classic possibly thee best jazz funk classic from the sensational disco era long live The Players Association.
I have already posted a reply to this video. . although now at 63 years old you can't help but get those disco days flooding back. You’d have to have your feet nailed to the floor not to dance to this belter of a disco classic . . . f***ing superb!
yes mate just how i feel they were the best days ever and the tunes from 1976 to 1989 brillint time o i wish i could go back to thoes times,regards ,matt.
How can you stay sitting down to this , even if I need my glasses to see the keys in my head I am there still there dancing trying to look cool ,sadly that bit never happened but I did my best and still do even my son laughs at me lol never give in age is just a number when you have music like this
do you know what folks? I think some of us are getting old I turned 50 this year, after reading some of the comments I think we all agree we were so very lucky to have been teenagers in the late 70's early 80's what a era for great music I think it will never surpassed. Now for you younger music fans I would agree also there is some great new stuff today, but believe me any one in there mid 40's or above will back me, our time was the greatest ever for dance music.
No sampling, no smack me bitch up, no jump in my ride, didnt need to blow silly money to have a great time - humbled neh, privileged to be going to places where this was just one of all the so solid tunes of the era - and still sounds so good today !
RIP the incredible Bob Berg who plays the sick sax solo starting 3:45. I used to own this record when it first came out and loved it (this was years before I took up playing the sax myself). Just heard it played this Sunday afternoon on Jazz FM and thought to myself... hang on...there's only one saxophonist I know who plays riffs just like this... it's Bob Berg surely? Well, after checking the credits in discogs I see I was right. Bob Berg rarely gets a mention anywhere, but in my view was one of the most exciting straight-ahead hard-bop players of his generation, (and perhaps of all time)? All hail Bob Berg!
Horns!!!! The very Best of Funk never to be repeated as the hearts have all been changed and influenced in sadder ways! Thisis just pure unadulterated MUUUUUSIC!
I vaguely remember this tune...heard it here, now and probably the first time in over 20 years. I'm smiling coz the tune is uplifting but all the happy comments from so many people are making me smile even more. My heart is glowing...thank you everyone!
My mind is drifting back on the dance floor. Wow !!! , these were the times , 💃🏽💃🏽when guys came up to a lady and joined them in a dance to this tune. 💃🏽🕺🕺🕺
Fuck it what a fantastic piece of music everytime I play this song I am dancing around the house definitely my disco anthem from the 1970's When I had my own mobile disco in the 1970's this track was guaranteed to fill the floor. . . those fantastic jazz trumpet's were f***ing superb!
Driving my car today and this classic track came on, took me back to the best days and nothing as come close it was hit after hit in them days! Now it's just rubbish after rubbish!!! It's a great summer tune 👍
i was 20 in 1974 and loved the entire decade (apart from the clothes of course),music was at its creative peak and you had to actually have talent to sell records.the much maligned disco period threw some absolute dance classics,like this one.soooo glad i lived through it.from pink floyd to bob marley,loved it all
From the Disco vaults of the 70's, when artists like Gloria Gaynors I Will Survive & Sylvesters, You Make Me feel Mighty Real were doing the rounds, then came this in 1979, written by Chris Hills & Laurel Darn
Hi just wondering if you have any info on this group like what happened to them. I know Chris Hills and another guy was it Danny Weis were the main guys of the band the rest maybe session musicians. Think Hills had a solo career before the players and Weis had a solo album in 87 that sounded like the players.cant find any live performances don't think they were big on self promotion. The came and went pretty quick
Christ I haven't stopped playing this and a bit of dancin at 57! My place was Clouds in East Grinstead on Tues Weds Fri and Sat. Sometimes up to Croydon, Scamps in Sutton. And down to Brighton where I now live. This is was a floor filler. Love it!
+waynelovell1958 scamps !! now theres a name i havent heard for many years.croydon was great too.croydon suite which became sinatras,and the long bar in that pub next door called the cartoonist.boobs a bit further up near west croydon,then the orchid in purley with the revolving bar.great times.
As I've stated before about the 70s club sound, the quality of production on these songs is 2nd to none. be it E. WIND & FIRE. Cool & gang, PLAYER'S ASSOCIATION, SILVER CONVENTION, BIDDU ORCHESTRA, SHALAMAR etc, they all have an... orc astral type indulgent sound- Saxaphone, violins, keyboards etc makes you want to move every time, To a bubbly beat. the music & dance culture that went with it was always something to look forward to especially at the weekends Back then.
My brother had an immaculate record collection in the late seventies, including this utter beauty. He had to buy another copy, because as a ten year old, I kept playing it as I thought it was the s*** (along with his Crusaders ' Street LIfe'). And I really liked the girl on the cover. For some reason! This is truly superb, as good as it gets.
There's a time in everyone's life when you think it just can't get better than this .this was such an era and i knew I had hit my pinnacle.So I danced every night like there was no tomorrow .Of course time waits for no man,but at least i have memories.
Takes me Right baack.. and iv got the tune on vinyl "12" ❤ bought it west-end london,, .. when working st James's park,-restaurant nxt to Buckingham Palace,,.. what a tuune, one of my Favs,,
1980's - Music was just stuff with a good groove or beat, you liked & went clubbing, got pissed, got on the dancefloor, made a pratt of yourself...... got a kebab on the way home... and listened out (Tony Blackburn,lol!) for new stuff for the next week - does anyone remember those days, or is it just me....?
Just pure dancing feel good music that makes me feel like I'm. 16 years old dancing in my cut downs, white cut down vest. Music made me happy then and continues to Love it. Music is the love of my life
mmmm OMFG I've got this album and in 1979 I was 20 living in Stevenage having moved from Walthamstow e17 in 1973 but hey what a brilliant tune how fucking awesome !!!!! turning the music right up NOW xxx
From the opening to the end fade out.........perfection. Bought this in the 70's on 12" Import back in the day and lost it when my entire 600+ record collection was stolen.
Whilst I like some of the new Rap and RnB artists in my eyes this type of music cannot be surpassed.....this reminds me of Atlantis in Margate circa late 70s... I danced all night and then some..... am still dancing now...... will never stop if you turn the music up!!!!!!
I wish I could win the lottery I'd open a club 😕 and theses tunes would be blasting out all night long ... ..... why not join me part down ... we never had much then but we had the best music 🎶 genera
Killer track as you might expect from a bunch of virtuoso session players,saw them live in '79/'80 and the live version of this track was even better!!
I'am sooo blessed I went through the 70's music, 80's music!! As a kid/teenager. This generation has no clue what music is all about. This is what you call "Music", disco nights, and the disco era. I'am now 48 and the people in their 40's and 50's know what I'am talking about. Love my generation!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great jam!!
Absolutely,..we were lucky and privileged to have been teenagers during the late 70's and early 80's. I'm 51 now and still listen to my favourite dance grooves of my youth and boy,..does it take me back with memories that come flooding back with each song I play. I remember all my 12 inch disco singles and many were coloured vinyl.
Have not heard this in a very long time but had me grooving instantly even with bad knees! One of those classics you always hoped to hear in the club along with some greats from the same era.
This song starts off sweet and turns out to be wonderful almost like "Get Down Mellow Sound." It was my first favorite song since 1978. "Turn the Music Up!" is an audiophile's dream song.
I love those songs and those days! I was DJ ing in a hot queens club 1977-80. best times. When the night 4am ended we would got to the Paradise Garage and dance to Larry Levan!
Not purely disco...some great jazz solos involved here as well and many of the musicians involved were jazzers.. The production on these 1970s hits make todays efforts sound lame. ""Back to a time when people actually played instruments"" as DJ Robbie Vincent would say. LOL.
Awesome Disco cut this! brings back such great memories of my latter teenage years! just wish i could turn the clock back and re-live it all over again! Kids these days aint got a clue what music is all about, so glad i was brought up in an era of the birth of funk & disco
happy days we were so young and had our future in front of us, i love this and many more great dance tunes we were so lucky to have grown up in those days, shame the music is nothing like it used to be
Unless you actually lived through those golden years of the 1970’s you will never understand what it was like to be a young male living in such a time when we had real music such as this . . I’m now 64 and still love this fantastic decade of music and when I had my own mobile disco this track was a floor filler of the highest order. So let’s hear it for the Players Association and the superb 1970’s.
I was born in 1974 but grew up on all this music even though I was obviously too young to go out and enjoy it ;-)
Agree totally with everything you have said, this was a floor filler, the best times 😊❤
born in the mid 50's, I was in my 20's when this period of music was amazing, along with All Dayers and the Caister Weekenders.
Same age and I’ve never really left the 70’s. All the Clubs I went to had great sound systems, JBL’s, Turner amps etc…..fab old times.
I was a Co- Dj in the biggest Funky Disco in Town .Was just 16 years old.Now i am 61.I Have over 1500 vinyls bought them at that time all.Now i am an Artsit too as KpS Soul .Yes that time was great and will never come back :)
Imagine....you enter a club.....you walk down those steps to the bar and are served some of the finest beer ever....and this track is playing FULL blast....and it's 1979......I was there....yes I was.....amazing
+Martin Platt What makes this track incredible is...........the two Brecker brothers on this.........and David Sanborn..........well say no more LOL
Martin I was at the other end of the bar nodding my head watching the strawberrys go by and yer the word for this
brilliant
+Sae Chillin
And I was in a gay club dancing frenetically and trying to pick up that hot guy over there ....
The seventies were the bomb!
+Martin Platt Dam'n right !!! The best music time ever !!!
+Martin Platt right on bro your so right it was great
the glorious 70's will NEVER be beaten for every genre of music.those of us who lived it knew it was a special era.
pura verdade o que vc postou parabens .
Amen to that!
Cockney Red Yes you are spot on....I was 21 in 1979 !!!
Cockney Red 1979.....so just squeezed in there gently lol
+Cockney Red CORRECT!
1979 I was 21, walk in the disco this was playing, straight on the dance floor, whether at my local disco or out of town, listening to Greg Edwards on the radio too. Oh fantastic memories
Yes brother! Few drinks at home with the lads, listening to Greg Edwards the n off to club.
Yes great music. Soul spectrum then the dance night clubs
I was 16 back in that year.. and remember it like yesterday.. what wonderful yesterday memories..
Greg Edwards OMG !!! Are you from the UK. Greg Edward was a must to listen to before you went out to a night club. Us ladies knew how to wear high and still do the dance moves 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
I thank the lord for being born in 58 so that I could dance my ass off in the mid to late 70's with my girl & friends in some of the London's best disco's........if I ever get the chance of being born again I'm gonna ask for the same year, place & time so that I can relive what I can only describe IMO as the best era for dance music....you had to be there to understand.
Yeah your right and my sis disco danced to this and we were there , still as awesome today as it was, cant sit down when we hear it....!
voce falou tudo meu amigo , era lindo o mundo, hoje quase nada mais presta .
I agree... i was there as well. dancing my ass off....
foi muito bom eu estava lá naquela época muito lindo era uma época de ouro .
Somewhere, someone, born in 1998, is looking at your comment and wondering what the hell you're talking about.
This era of funk and soul gives me goosebumps. Wish I could return to these days
In 1979 I was just 12 years old when my "big brother" bought this on 12" vinyl. Think I wore that record out , but have loved this sound ever since!!! Classic !!!😍😘😘😍🎷🎺🎺
I was 21
I was 11. I think my mum gave it to me. On an audio cassette. The tape's chewed up years ago. I think my little player over heated.
So was I 12 too.....100 club Saturday lunchtimes 💃💃💃👌
this brings tears to my eyes! The memories are just so beautiful. I thank the Lord God almighty I was there & I was heading to my 21st birthday! it has become my fav disco track along with Native New Yorker! Love to all. Xxx
100% 🥳😢miss those simple good ole day we never had much but boy was our 🎶 so so 👍 great
Native new yorker what a tune 👌 👏 🙌
1979 was a good year with club classics like this. Players Association's horn section was as tight as they came. Jamming this in November, 2022. Rolling back the years. Love it. Thank you Danny Weiss for the gift of music.
Well the horn section would be tight with jazz trumpet giant John Faddis, the recently departed Dave Sanbourn and Bob on tenor.
Disco was a genre that deserved to be taken seriously, and these guys proved it.
So well said !!! It never got this this quality !!!
The birth of house music
@@danw1374 Amen bruv 👍👌 , edit afterthought, the amount of disco tracks that have been sampled not only in House music but a variety of genres is off the hook.
That is why the newer music that came after disco music is not for me.
60+ and still loving this, can't turn it up much more !!!!!!
+Hugh Bennett 56 here Bro,its all good.We had the best times.My kids love my stuff.....
It just doesn't get any better than this.....disco at its finest.....1979 was an amazing year for disco.
The days maybe gone but the memories are still there!!
Great music, great dancing,
Disco Funk at its best!
Beats the crap of today!!
The Greatest intro ever on a Disco Song
Long Live Disco 👍🏴🇬🇧🇺🇲🏴

The best dance tune ever to come out of 1977 - yes, I was there at the disco way back in the day...
Thr best disco jazz and funky you may listen to.
Wicked era , still sounds fab, time for a reprise, bring on D-TRAIN x
From the Disco vaults of the 70's, when artists like Gloria Gaynors I Will Survive & Sylvesters, You Make Me feel Mighty Real were doing the rounds, then came this in 1979, written by Chris Hills & Laurel Darn

Probably one of the best soul,dance, jazz dance times every...if you danced this music could not be beaten..
1979 was a fantastic year for music..... so many great songs
I dug this out & played it the other night. It's still great !
Disco has got it's revenge. You gotta love this tune.

+waynelovell1958 *Gets Wayne another pint"..............
great track from 79'...was 15 years old so no club or bar but lots of beer and strawberries !!
As I've stated before about the 70s club sound, the quality of production on these songs is 2nd to none. be it E. WIND & FIRE. Cool & gang, PLAYER'S ASSOCIATION, SILVER CONVENTION, BIDDU ORCHESTRA, SHALAMAR etc,
they all have an... orc astral type indulgent sound- Saxaphone, violins, keyboards etc makes you want to move every time, To a bubbly beat.
the music & dance culture that went with it was always something to look forward to especially at the weekends Back then.
70's music was the best ever so glad I lived through it.....................
My brother had an immaculate record collection in the late seventies, including this utter beauty. He had to buy another copy, because as a ten year old, I kept playing it as I thought it was the s*** (along with his Crusaders ' Street LIfe'). And I really liked the girl on the cover. For some reason!
This is truly superb, as good as it gets.
Joe, 7 years on, nothing has changed, still fkn brilliant!!!
Street Life one of my favourites too along with this classic floor filler ❤
David Sanborn, Brecker Brothers, Joe Farrell, James Mtume... class.
Actually, Tom Harrell is on trumpet! really cool
There's a time in everyone's life when you think it just can't get better than this .this was such an era and i knew I had hit my pinnacle.So I danced every night like there was no tomorrow .Of course time waits for no man,but at least i have memories.
Takes me Right baack.. and iv got the tune on vinyl "12" ❤ bought it west-end london,, .. when working st James's park,-restaurant nxt to Buckingham Palace,,.. what a tuune, one of my Favs,,
1980's - Music was just stuff with a good groove or beat, you liked & went clubbing, got pissed, got on the dancefloor, made a pratt of yourself...... got a kebab on the way home... and listened out (Tony Blackburn,lol!) for new stuff for the next week - does anyone remember those days, or is it just me....?
oh yes, Scamps!! Van Damm bar Dr Jims, depressing myself noe

The first few bars in and you can feel the party coming on!! Important thing is don't let this party end ever!!
Special times, and to be 18 and enjoying the sounds of 79, what a year, just compare it with now. I was there,
Just another great tune from the 70 s my heart is always there
Just pure dancing feel good music that makes me feel like I'm. 16 years old dancing in my cut downs, white cut down vest. Music made me happy then and continues to
Love it. Music is the love of my life
mmmm OMFG I've got this album and in 1979 I was 20 living in Stevenage having moved from Walthamstow e17 in 1973 but hey what a brilliant tune how fucking awesome !!!!! turning the music right up NOW xxx
From the opening to the end fade out.........perfection. Bought this in the 70's on 12" Import back in the day and lost it when my entire 600+ record collection was stolen.
Omg I love it when I find music that brings back such sweet memories. I was so young. You will never beat late 70s for the music
Like you, I bought the extended version of this song. I remember asking the man in the record shop whether he had a seven inch or a twelve inch!
Absolutely brilliant track, have always loved this, one of my all time disco faves!
Whilst I like some of the new Rap and RnB artists in my eyes this type of music cannot be surpassed.....this reminds me of Atlantis in Margate circa late 70s... I danced all night and then some..... am still dancing now...... will never stop if you turn the music up!!!!!!
We were very lucky to enjoy such music when young and disco was a special place only for us
I was there too, great times Purley alldayers and Caisters
croydon purley :-)
Tiphanys Purley, Dr Jim's Croydon, Drift Bridge Epsom. Great times.
I went to the first 3 caister weekenders great times great music
I wish I could win the lottery I'd open a club 😕 and theses tunes would be blasting out all night long ... ..... why not join me part down ... we never had much then but we had the best music 🎶 genera
Bought this on release in the 70's.................still sounds great, love it!!!!!!
Classic song!! such a happy & joyful vibe, I was fortunate that I was growing up as a kid listening to songs like this one, incredible musical talent
2019 still a classic
Killer track as you might expect from a bunch of virtuoso session players,saw them live in '79/'80 and the live version of this track was even better!!
I'am sooo blessed I went through the 70's music, 80's music!! As a kid/teenager. This generation has no clue what music is all about. This is what you call "Music", disco nights, and the disco era. I'am now 48 and the people in their 40's and 50's know what I'am talking about. Love my generation!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great jam!!
Absolutely,..we were lucky and privileged to have been teenagers during the late 70's and early 80's. I'm 51 now and still listen to my favourite dance grooves of my youth and boy,..does it take me back with memories that come flooding back with each song I play. I remember all my 12 inch disco singles and many were coloured vinyl.
Such a tune.....brilliant
Have not heard this in a very long time but had me grooving instantly even with bad knees! One of those classics you always hoped to hear in the club along with some greats from the same era.
This song starts off sweet and turns out to be wonderful almost like "Get Down Mellow Sound." It was my first favorite song since 1978. "Turn the Music Up!" is an audiophile's dream song.
Hearing this transports me right back to those heady nightclubs of the 70’s and the euphoria of this era of music. Wow! Loved it ❤❤❤
PLAY LOUD.....BEST DISCO TRACK EVER!!!
Play it like a Martian on Jupiter eating candy mice 👽👽👽📹📹🛀🛀🏃🏃🏃🐵🐒🌙🌙🌙🌙🌜🌛🐍🐙🐙🐭🐁🐀🐭🐁🐀🍥🍥🍥🍥🍫🍫🍬🍬🍬🍬
The resolve at ~4:18 is, quite simply, one of the best ever....
.....glad you noticed! That Brekker minor chord run up at 4.24 soooooooooooooooo good
I love the start of the sax solo at 3.45. Such an uplifting sound
I love those songs and those days! I was DJ ing in a hot queens club 1977-80. best times. When the night 4am ended we would got to the Paradise Garage and dance to Larry Levan!
Brilliant piece of music first heard this whilst 17 being driven in a Jensen Interceptor made a great impression what an era.
Yes, his masterclass shows how he single-handedly changed the sound of the guitar and brought on all those Chic hits.
Not purely disco...some great jazz solos involved here as well and many of the musicians involved were jazzers..
The production on these 1970s hits make todays efforts sound lame.
""Back to a time when people actually played instruments"" as DJ Robbie Vincent would say. LOL.
Awesome Disco cut this! brings back such great memories of my latter teenage years! just wish i could turn the clock back and re-live it all over again! Kids these days aint got a clue what music is all about, so glad i was brought up in an era of the birth of funk & disco
happy days we were so young and had our future in front of us, i love this and many more great dance tunes we were so lucky to have grown up in those days, shame the music is nothing like it used to be
I was there,good times......................
lovin it ....again,,take me back.....
EVERYBODY (and I mean everybody) I've played this song for has fallen in love with it. It is THE party groove. Can't-miss stuff.
Just absolute brilliant sounds of producer Danny Weiss. Written by Chris Hills and Laurel dann. I wish I had a time machine and relive it
again.
