my dad was on his death bed and was trying to say backstroke. he mumbled youtube so i youtubed it. this song came up and was the one he was talking about. that was the first time i heard this song. he could barley talk or move but he didnt fail to tap his finger along to the beat like he always used to. it was his last request and i will never forget this song. i miss you and i love you dad!
Fuck bro, my deepest condolences!!! But, if your father loved this track then he obviously had great taste in music, now I’m curious to hear his playlist. He’s an OG. Good night and a Happy New Year to you and your family,
Amazing I'm 56 can't do what i use to do my hat OFF to HIM. Lol. All men who have children is a father, i love when you said my dad..lol. He must have a great influence in your life great. Just do me a small favor call him allways and say i love you i said it first and hang up the phone HE well love it.. And when he try calling you back don't answer it...lol
If you really want to blow his mind send him a CARD saying IF GOD STRIKES MY EYES BLIND your love I'll still see.. Because this how much your love means to me i love you dad..lol
18yo and losing that thing you only lose once on the beach after high school graduation and Fatback providing the score to match a beautiful time. 42 years later, I saw her at a concert in NYC and time hadn't tarnished the sweetness of 4 decades past. Both happily married, I'm pretty sure our respective lifemates knew the deal, and they both gave us an approving smile. No words, no introduction, just a quick hug and, "So good to see you." My, oh my. That backstroke! 💖😊
Came to listen to this because my pops practically raised me on stuff like this. I haven't heard this since i was a little kid. When i first heard this i thought it was annoying when i was younger. Now I CAN'T STOP DANCING TO THIS! Damn near had an out of body experience dancing to this. This is the shit! I love this. It's nice to revisit classics like this.
Why the hell did this song pop in my head at 2am? Things my mom played when I was a kid have a habit of doing that😆 So...here I am. May as well make the best of it. After all, it is the jam. 🔥💃🏽👯♀️🎼🎺🎸🎤🎹🤣
It’s sad AF most of the roller rinks out there closin up shop. Everything’s an insurance liability nowadays, people hatin on everything that’s “old”. Most people under 25 never even got to experience stuff like that. Jammin to some funky tracks, rollin around the wood floor with the whole building-hasn’t-been-updated-since-the-70’s vibe, the lights, the greasy food. Some of my best memories as a kid.
Shit my boi I'm still rocking it in 2024. Got in trouble a few days ago cause I drove in to work bumping this song on my 2 12's Fosgate Punch's P3 and my 1,000 watt amp. Lmfao 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆
I first heard this while working with a older black guy I work with sometimes. who grew up in the (disco days) ans he's stuck there lol. I instantly got hooked on the song

song reminds me of cleaning the Rainbow Ballroom when I was a little kid with my dad big John I could hear this song playing in my mind I wish I could tell that little kid all the lonely days and misery he would endure in the years to come from 20 all the way to 50 spent in a cell for a couple of cases of beer a few. fifths of hard liquor. and a lump some of 400 bucks total crime doesn't.pay. one thing I can tell you and I've lived it so try to stay within the law if you want to watch your kids grow and family blossom in full bloom learn. from my mistakes. song restores youth and wisdom from this old fool 5 star to the fastback crew thanks for the good times
Thank you all for continuing to keep Fatback music alive. My only hope is that they would be picked up by unsung while all original members are still living and kickin'. Aint nothing like lovin' on you. Thanks again to the old and new fans! Keep it Funky......Always!
Grinding with the girlies, high nights, house parties, and just having fun on the weekends. Being a teenager back in the day was the thing. Man it just doesn't any better. This was the jam especially on the breakdown. Miss those days as a teen on the real.
Been groovin' to Backstrokin' for decades, but just noticed something that deepens my love for Fatback's artistry even more: check out 1:35 to 1:58. The way the musical texture thins to make space for the vocal solo-and then the singer sustains that last note beautifully until it gently dissolves into thin air-just thrills me every time! Pure delight. Thank you for giving us special musical moments like this, Fatback. You are divine! 😍
Jr year of high school this was played at every party birthday party cook out car stereo and school dance and I loved it then and 42 years later I still do
