A hit for Tina in 1976 (I was 12 years old). We danced to this one every night at the Youth club. Tina had another hit that same year with " Dance Little Lady Dance"
I Love to Love was Tina Charles's first hit under her own name...and a UK number 1,in the spring of 1976. The biggest of the other hits she had afterwards were Dance Little Lady and Dr Love. Hearing this song again in recent times,the strength of her vocals stands out to me more than I appreciated at the time these were hits. I can say the same for some of the Three Degrees' songs.
When she was 16 she appeared every week in the first series of the two Ronnie's! BRITISH COMEDY. SHE SUNG LIKE HER LIFE DEPENDED ON IT. WHAT A VOICE❤ 😮
SO Happy y’all are listening to this gem! Tina is one of my favorite 70s artists! Other songs of hers to definitely listen to are “dance little lady,” “you set my heart on fire,” “dr. Love,” and with her band 5000 volts “I’m on fire” and “bye love”!!! Lots of love to both you guys!!!
OMG - This brings back memories! I used to go regularly to a South London nightclub in the 70s. I was madly in love with a guitarist of the resident group that played there. Tina Charles, who is from London, used to go to this nightclub. On new year's eve 1976, she was invited to sing this song on stage. She married 'my' guitarist- arghh!
I feel like I’ve died and went to heaven! This is a favorite from my childhood. She is a classic example of fine British disco! I think I suggested this a while back. Please review her follow-up “I’ll go Where Your Music Takes Me”
Tina Charles' breakthrough song was DANCE LIL LADY DANCE. It was a banger back in the day (the mid 70s) It was a HUGE hit here in India as it was compossed by an Indian - Biddu.
One thing that is so nice on here are the reactions from all over the world, showing the impact music has to all of us, uniting us for a minute or four. This gem of a disco song was huge in Germany too. Never get tired of listening to Tina letting those notes out. Have a good day you all.
Produced by Biddu Appiah, an Ivor Novello award winning, British-Indian singer-songwriter, composer, and music producer. He conducted his own ‘production-based orchestra’ and helped launch hers, and many others’ careers in the 70’s. He also produced the breakthrough disco hit from 1974 by Carl Douglas - Kung Fu Fighting…
Of course you havent. They only take requests from their British Patreon on fans. This channel lost many people a long time ago with obscure songs that reflect nothing.
@@auldfouter8661 agreed. There's a tonne of music the yanks haven't heard of, but try to tell them 😐🥱 This was a big hit in Australia too. Still have the 45.
She had a few hits, her first two was with the band '5000 Volts' with "I'm On Fire" and "Dr Kiss Kiss", as a solo artist, "Dance Little Lady Dance" and "Dr Love", she had other songs but these were her biggest.
Fallin' in love in the summertime is another of my favourite songs from her. I listened to a lot of her songs when I lived in Peru, there were many radio stations (and they still are I believe) that played her songs and songs of the 60', 70', 80', etc. This song I love to love I really loved when I was a kid, her pitch is like a child and I was a child so I imagine myself singing that song and doing Karaoke with my siblings, i did not see what she looked like many years later. Good times 😊
Massive, massive hit back in the day, booming out of our radios several times a day, and guaranteed to fill the dance floors. Makes me feel old when I read the comments saying they've never heard it before, but at least I've got all my memories.
Previously had a hit with group 5000 Volts (I'm on Fire) further hits with Dance little lady dance, You set my heart on fire, I'll go where the music takes me, Dr Love..
I never heard this song back in the day…it wasn’t until I watched the British crime series River with Stellan Skarsgård and Nicola Walker that it crossed my path. I really loved it and was very excited to see your reaction to it when I saw your TH-cam notification this eve. Thanks for picking this song:) ❤
One of my childhood favourites...That famous disco guitar sound and a little trivia; when Tina Charles recorded her first single, among the hired musicians was a certain, back then, unknown Elton John on piano..
I love how this channel puts the highlight on old classic songs such as this. Tina Charles was a talented vocalist who worked as a session musician for many years so was always "behind the scenes" rather than being in the public eye. She had her debut recording "Good To Be Alive" back in 1969 with an unknown Elton John playing piano for her and she was a backing vocalist (together with her friend Linda Lewis) on the Cockney Rebel's "Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)" Congrats guys on your amazing videos. You two are like the sunshine coming out on a cloudy day.
This song is great! I also love the Nolans' I'm in the mood for dancing. If you haven't check it out yet, please do so. Love you both! More power and God bless.
OMG - such memories. 1976, living in Nairobi, Kenya at an 8th Grade Disco party dancing under the stars, and someone played this song, and we collectively lost it. What a great song and great memory. #Disco1976
I used to go to Cinderella's in Purley, Surrey every weekend. Once when this song was everywhere Tina was at the club and I remember her singinng this dong live st the club, she sounded even better live. Lovely memory of my younger days in the 70''s 🏴
She sings a song for the group 5000 Volts called 'I'm on Fire' and her vocals there are fantastic. She's got a real rasp to her voice on that track when she kicks it into gear.
Thank you so much for this reaction guys! I was waiting a long time for this. If you liked this one, you should listen to "You Set My Heart On Fire" too, it's another great song from Tina Charles.
This was her biggest hit by far - great vocal - she was uncredited on the 5000 volts song I'm on Fire due to contractural reasons and that's probably the next best one to look at next time. She did backing vocals on Come up and see me and make me smile along with Linda Lewis - Linda's Rock a Doodle doo worth a review
This girl and voice got around as you can see below. She also backed 'Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel' in 'Come Up And See Me (Make Me Smile)', with Linda Lewis another solo disco singer made good..
Tina Charles - a London girl. Two other British female vocalists from the seventies - Janet Kay who had a massive hit in 1979 with Silly Love and Joan Armatrading, a fantastic singer-guitarist-composer who had countless hits but the one that started it all off was Love and Affection
I first heard this song on the British tv miniseries “River” and fell in love with it. It’s actually my husband (of 40 years) ringtone! It’s fun, easy to listen to, and describes my hubby well 😆
The first time I heard of Tina Charles was with the song "You set my heart on fire". It made a big impression on me. Love to love is also a good song, but my memories mainly go to "You set my heart on fire".
I love your reactions to 70's music ! I'm born on 1967 , now 56 and I thank god to grew up in the 70's ! Greetings from Germany . Check out this song !! WHY DID YOU DO IT ELASTIQUE
I remember being rather smitten with Tina Charles when I saw her performance on one particular edition of, 'Top of the Pops.' I'm not sure whether it was this song, or her other big hit, 'Dance Little Lady Dance.' This style of music was quite popular in the middle part of the 70's, when Glam Rock was on the wane and Disco hadn't quite got going. There's definitely elements of it here, but it hasn't quite been perfected to the sound that would become known as full-on disco. I remember other songs by her, like, 'Love Bug', and, 'Dr. Love.'
Also don't forget to check out: Christina Aguilera - Ain't No Other Man - Candy Man (Both Great Horns !!) Also - Lady Marmalad Annie Lenox (Eurythmics) - Would I Lie to You - I Need a Man - Thorn in My Side Gwen Stefanie - It's My Life - What You Waiting For Shikira - When ever Where ever - Objection Tango Head Pins - Don't it Make You Feel (like Dancing) - Turn it Loud - Just One More Time Toronto - Your Daddy Don't Know - Start Telling the Truth
Half a million any day now... congrats!!! You have been pleasantly bringing good vibes to my evenings since Amber was still pregnant! Thanks! Now this brought me back to when I was 16... still a few years before hitting the clubs and Discos. Mark Morrison with "Return of the Mack" is a song I just heard and you might enjoy... from 1996, I think.
As a teenager of '70s, I always wonder who invented the lyrics of this song. As far as I remember, the situation in disco clubs was just the opposite: All the girls were there just to dance (well, at least that's what they all claimed), whereas we guys were all after something else...
Yes, you will now have to react to her other main hit - Dance Little Lady Dance - just for the most " grooviest " tight black jump suit conductor, with the guitarist in front of him, laughing - classic !!! 😂
She's the queen of disco- reggae during the late 70s . She's also effective on ballads, her range is incredible but underrated ❤ her producer is biddu who introduced reggae- disco music to the UK during that era. I have 3 of her albums and it's really groovy ✨🥰. You should react to her version of AMAZING GRACE - audio only. You'll get goosebumps 👍👍👍
Someone mentioned 5000 Volts - I'm On Fire. A must listen. Tina Charles had some contract issues and were not recognized as the singer so when doing appearances on tv shows they had Luan Peters fronting the band. Tina Charles had dark hair and Luan Peters was blond
finally TINA CHARLES !!! ... *yippie* ... it's so typical disco dance music, also love the 1993 remix-version from 'I love 2 love' and the song: 'dance little lady dance' ... in the same time, there's another fabules female disco singer, named => Luisa Fernandez with: 'give love a second chance' and/or 'lay love on you' 🙂
She was a great session musician, being on a lot of 70's hits, and thankfully she had success for herself. I had a little crush on her in my early teens.

My mom was a back up singer for Tina
A hit for Tina in 1976 (I was 12 years old). We danced to this one every night at the Youth club. Tina had another hit that same year with " Dance Little Lady Dance"
😂 I was 12 in that year too, and we tried all sorts of disco moves to this song, and Dance little lady 😅
I was 11 years I first heard this song on The Benny Hill show ..I always thought the singer was American beautiful powerful voice
Did she not sing Dr Love as well?
@@purplehague65 yes she did sing Dr love too👍

I loved The Two Ronnie's! Fork handles/four candles skit was steller! And their opening monologues.
This is the definition of 70s disco… I can still see my sister getting down to this track
Tina Charles was a British Disco artist That took this song to number one in 1976.
SO Happy y’all are listening to this gem! Tina is one of my favorite 70s artists! Other songs of hers to definitely listen to are “dance little lady,” “you set my heart on fire,” “dr. Love,” and with her band 5000 volts “I’m on fire” and “bye love”!!! Lots of love to both you guys!!!
SURE, CONGRATULATIONS, I LOVE TINA !!!!
In Barranquilla, Colombia we still listen to this classic.Beautiful !!

I have never heard of her or heard this song, but wow, she does have an amazing voice!
This was no 1 in the UK charts for weeks ..
This was never off the radio, huge UK hit.. reminds me of primary school, all the kids were always singing it
You guys are filling the imaginary dance floors today, this is a disco gem. Reactions like this are why you will hit 500K subscribers any day now. ✌️

I don’t think I’ve ever heard this. She does have a sweet voice.
Never heard this one at least consciously.
I definitely have never heard this. She is a British disco singer. So that is my #1 excuse.
Of course you havent. They only take requests from their British Patreon on fans. This channel lost many people a long time ago with obscure songs that reflect nothing.
@@brewfront Definitely not an obscure song. There's a whole world outside of the USA.
@@auldfouter8661 agreed. There's a tonne of music the yanks haven't heard of, but try to tell them 😐🥱
This was a big hit in Australia too. Still have the 45.
She had a few hits, her first two was with the band '5000 Volts' with "I'm On Fire" and "Dr Kiss Kiss", as a solo artist, "Dance Little Lady Dance" and "Dr Love", she had other songs but these were her biggest.
Now you're bringing back memories! ❤❤❤
@@AndreDMalan1966Yes, "I'm on Fire" was a massive hit when it was released, I'm glad that she got a career of her own after she left them.
5,000 Volts only used Tina's voice and had another girl miming to it. It was quite a scandal when this was found out.
@@jrswinhoe58 Yes, I remember that at the time, it was in all the newspapers. Still an amazing song, it was everywhere, such energy.
She had a handful of hits in Europe and New Zealand, but for whatever reason never charted in the US.
Very prominent in Australia also.
In The Netherlands this was a big 70's song/hit too. They even released a newer version of this song somewhere in the 80's.
BILLBOARD HAS INCLUDED ONLY AMERICANS PERFORMERS IN DISCO TOP 40 HITS IN ALL THE DISCO YEARS, TINA WAS EXCLUDED UNFAIRLY!!!
Fallin' in love in the summertime is another of my favourite songs from her. I listened to a lot of her songs when I lived in Peru, there were many radio stations (and they still are I believe) that played her songs and songs of the 60', 70', 80', etc. This song I love to love I really loved when I was a kid, her pitch is like a child and I was a child so I imagine myself singing that song and doing Karaoke with my siblings, i did not see what she looked like many years later. Good times 😊
I remember well those times when I lived in Lima. Great music on the radio at that time. Saludos desde Suiza
She has a great voice! Not heard of her before. ✌
Massive, massive hit back in the day, booming out of our radios several times a day, and guaranteed to fill the dance floors.
Makes me feel old when I read the comments saying they've never heard it before, but at least I've got all my memories.
Well, I think I have all my memories and I haven't heard of this artist. Was she a one-hit wonder?
Previously had a hit with group 5000 Volts (I'm on Fire) further hits with Dance little lady dance, You set my heart on fire, I'll go where the music takes me, Dr Love..
She was HUGE in UK. She also went to my school, though few years ahead of me. But Tina could belt it out.
I loved, loved this back in the day. Then I heard it used in the absolutely amazing British series "River" and I loved it even more!
“River” was the first time that I ever heard it and it stood out
She was quite big in Australia in the 70’s with a string of hits
Never heard this little cutie sing before, I bet her voice got even better with age.👍👏👏👏🥰🌺🌹
Love this song,beautiful voice,easy listening and catchy as hell
I never heard this song back in the day…it wasn’t until I watched the British crime series River with Stellan Skarsgård and Nicola Walker that it crossed my path.
I really loved it and was very excited to see your reaction to it when I saw your TH-cam notification this eve. Thanks for picking this song:) ❤
I loved the song "I'm on fire" by "5000 volts" band, Tina Charles provided vocals for this single.
One of my childhood favourites...That famous disco guitar sound and a little trivia; when Tina Charles recorded her first single, among the hired musicians was a certain, back then, unknown Elton John on piano..
You set my heart on fire is another showcase of her superb voice.
Love Tina ! Elton John backed her on her early singles - check out Rendezvous.

Congrats guys on your amazing videos. You two are like the sunshine coming out on a cloudy day.
Her vocal compression is insane
I remember this song. Big hit in Australia
That song was a huge hit in Quebec when I was ten years old. It introduced all of us to disco!
Dance little lady dance Tina Charles
This song is great! I also love the Nolans' I'm in the mood for dancing. If you haven't check it out yet, please do so.
Love you both! More power and God bless.

Mark me down as another one whose never heard of her before, but I agree with you guys and others. What an incredible voice!
In 1976, Tina filled the dance floors. Disco was the best in the UK and USA at the time.
This song takes me back to my childhood ❤
Great voice
Tina Charles one of the BEST !!!
Thank you so much for this reaction guys! I was waiting a long time for this. If you liked this one, you should listen to "You Set My Heart On Fire" too, it's another great song from Tina Charles.

Those were the days, I grew up in the disco days. Great dance music. 🎶🎶🎶🎶
I was 7 when this song came out in Montreal, Canada. I still listen it.
Oh. In the ‘70s my sister absolutely loved Tina. She was big here in Australia.
My mom used to listen to Tina’s songs while she Did the cleaning, then I quickly started liking it too. It’s so catchy ❤
This girl and voice got around as you can see below. She also backed 'Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel' in 'Come Up And See Me (Make Me Smile)', with Linda Lewis another solo disco singer made good..
I’d love to see them react to Come Up And See Me.
We have Tina Charles’s tape,she’s amazing ❤

Soooo naturally pretty too miss Tina Charles
ooh yeah, the gorgeous Tina - I was 14 when this came out
I first heard this song on the British tv miniseries “River” and fell in love with it. It’s actually my husband (of 40 years) ringtone! It’s fun, easy to listen to, and describes my hubby well 😆
This reminds me of the family watching T.O.T.P every week . Childhood memories ❤
The only thing missing now is The Nolan Sisters with I'm in the mood for dancing.
One of the most euphoria-inducing disco songs
Remembering “You Set My Heart on Fire”, too! 🔥 Amber would love the horns in this track!!!!!
Love this song .
Especially the way she says' Button' my baby wants to dance 😁👍🎶
A happy song at a happy time
The first time I heard of Tina Charles was with the song "You set my heart on fire". It made a big impression on me. Love to love is also a good song, but my memories mainly go to "You set my heart on fire".
I remember this charting as a child in South Africa in the 70s
I love your reactions to 70's music ! I'm born on 1967 , now 56 and I thank god to grew up in the 70's !

She always put me in mind of the dark haired dancer in Pans People, Ruth Pearson.
Another early disco classic from England, hugely popular in the clubs back around 1975/76…

Mark Morrison with "Return of the Mack" is a song I just heard and you might enjoy... from 1996, I think.
This is my first time too! Sweet voice! Pretty song! I will have to check out Miss Tina!
I love love love this song - one of my all time faves and my Husband ( who is Greek ) loves it too and had never heard it until I played it
Those who know and or remember, was there a dance to this rhytm ? It is on several hits of the 70's. Thanks !
Great song. This was my "earworm" last year. It's featured in a British mystery series "River" on PBS. Thx guy❤
OMG, 2 things come to mind. I had so forgotten this song and I appreciate disco so much more now than I did in the 70’s.
As a teenager of '70s, I always wonder who invented the lyrics of this song. As far as I remember, the situation in disco clubs was just the opposite: All the girls were there just to dance (well, at least that's what they all claimed), whereas we guys were all after something else...
Amber. This has been a kick ass Friday girl. Thanks so much. Another blaster from the past…er…..I dig
This song was number 1 in the UK charts the day I was born 🫶🏼
I’m loving velvet and versatile 70s voices like Tina Charles, Yvonne Elliman and Donna Summer. Bliss 🥰
I wish you too Jay and Amber a very happy free prosperous new year. I wish the same thing for everybody in the comments🙂
In Spain was N°1 . Tina's voice fantastic .
Takes me back to my childhood, love this song ❤
Yes, you will now have to react to her other main hit - Dance Little Lady Dance - just for the most " grooviest " tight black jump suit conductor, with the guitarist in front of him, laughing - classic !!! 😂
Back in the day - I remember this blaring out on the fairground rides.
How can You NOT want to... Dance!!!
She's the queen of disco- reggae during the late 70s . She's also effective on ballads, her range is incredible but underrated ❤ her producer is biddu who introduced reggae- disco music to the UK during that era. I have 3 of her albums and it's really groovy ✨🥰. You should react to her version of AMAZING GRACE - audio only. You'll get goosebumps 👍👍👍
Someone mentioned 5000 Volts - I'm On Fire. A must listen. Tina Charles had some contract issues and were not recognized as the singer so when doing appearances on tv shows they had Luan Peters fronting the band. Tina Charles had dark hair and Luan Peters was blond
This song was played a lot on The Benny Hill Show a British comedy from the 70s. You should watch some of them
Do "Mel & Kim - Respectable" or Kim Appleby by herself "Kim Appleby - Don't worry"
Another one from my youth . Love watching you two dance to these toe tappers lolllllll
Great production and playing from that London team.
I love Tina Charles, thanks for posting
Oh the memories. Love from Ireland.
The next tina charles song should be You set my heart on my fire. So groovy and you get more of that amazing voice control! Also more pop oriented!
finally TINA CHARLES !!! ... *yippie* ... it's so typical disco dance music, also love the 1993 remix-version from 'I love 2 love' and the song: 'dance little lady dance' ... in the same time, there's another fabules female disco singer, named => Luisa Fernandez with: 'give love a second chance' and/or 'lay love on you' 🙂
A combination of a beatiful voice and the arrenjment of bidu (indian composer).
She was a great session musician, being on a lot of 70's hits, and thankfully she had success for herself. I had a little crush on her in my early teens.
A popular British singer of i think the mid 70's, also popular here in Australia.
I am from the 70s and I never heard this song before. Or this art.
This was a uk no 1 in the uk in 1976 check out im on fire a hit in 1975 she sang lead vocals the group was 5000 volts
