      my 1974 8th grade class trip was to NYC. so of course one of the things we did was take the ferry to see the statue of liberty. my best friends & i sang RTB the entire time onboard. i'm now 63 and i can tell you that EVERY single time i've been on a boat your grandpapa's song has whirled around in my head.

    I am now 66 years of age. When I was 16 years old, I worked with Bernard
    St. Claire Lee ( man with headband in video), House of Pancakes, 443
    East Manchester blvd, Inglewood, California. This was before Hues
    Corporation became recognized. He was an opening cook and I was a weekend bus boy. He would rehearse after work. I am pleased he got recognized for his talent. He was truly a nice man and I don't recall
    him ever saying anything bad about anyone else. He passed away a couple
    of years ago. He grew up in Santa Monica, Ca and was part American
    Indian. I remember him fondly. He gained recognition after " Rock the
    Boat" and did sound track for the late 1970s Black spoliation movies. I
    became a doctor of optometry at age 26.We never met up after leaving the
    House of Pancakes.

      The first big mainstream disco hit, maybe… but definitely not the first true disco song. That honor belongs to The Intruders, with “Win, Place, or Show (She’s a Winner)” from two years earlier in 1972. That was hands down the very first fully realized disco song. It just wasn’t a big well known hit like Rock The Boat was, though it did get some chart action in the UK two years after it’s release.

      We are blessed that the Lord let's us keep these memories after already blessing us the first time in having the experience in the first place. Family, while at times one of the great source of tribulations, provides us with the context which we bring with us in our lives and the love that underlies this context, these experiences and the family itself is unique in being a reflection of the love we are shown by the Divine for the world itself. One of the signatures of the creator in left to reassure Creation and sustain our faith. May the blessings rain down upon you and your family.

      If I recall correctly, 1974 (the year this was a hit) was the year Billboard created their dance chart, and a lot of that had to do with the success of this song and the obvious tide of new dance music flooding in. Rock The Boat wasn’t the first disco song, but it was definitely the first big disco hit, and as you said it ushered in a new decade-defining craze.

      I know this song was originally released on an LP in late ‘73, but the single itself wasn’t released until May ‘74, and it didn’t become the big dance hit that we all know and love until that summer. It was extremely rare to play deep album (non-single) cuts at dance clubs back then, so you were pretty lucky to hear it that early on a dance floor.

    , don't tip the boat over
    (Rock the boat), don't rock the boat baby
    (Rock the boat)
    Ever since our voyage of love began
    Your touch has thrilled me like the rush of the wind
    And your arms have held me safe from a rolling sea
    There's always been a quiet place to harbor you and me
    Our love is like a ship on the ocean
    We've been sailing with a cargo full of love and devotion
    So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
    Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion
    , don't rock the boat baby
    (Rock the boat), don't tip the boat over
    (Rock the boat), don't rock the boat baby
    (Rock the boat)
    Up to now we sailed through every storm
    And I've always had your tender lips to keep me warm
    Oh, I need to have the strength that flows from you
    Don't let me drift away my dear, when love can see me through
    (Our love is like a ship on the ocean)
    We've been sailing with a cargo full of love and devotion
    So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
    Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion
    So I'd like to know where, you got the notion
    Said I'd like to know where, you got the notion
    (To rock the boat), don't rock the boat baby
    (Rock the boat), don't tip the boat over
    (Rock the boat), don't rock the boat, baby
    (Rock the boat), don't tip the boat over
    ooh-ooh
    (Rock the boat) rock on with you, baby
    (Rock the boat) rock on with you, baby
    (Rock the boat) rock on with you, baby
    (Rock the boat)
    (Rock the boat)
    (Rock the boat)
    (Rock the boat)
    (Rock the boat)
    (Rock the boat)

    I was born in 95 but I sure wish I knew what life was like in the 70s. Heard this song growing up and feel the nostalgia so I can’t imagine living life in the 70s 🥺

      If you had a lovely and warm childhood, than you are happy with any decade i think. I was happy than in the 70's, and surely it was a lovely period in time. People are still the same at any day in time. The music was wonderful that's for sure!!

    So I was 6 yrs old and listening to this as a missionary kid in Barbados. I had to sneak and listen to it when my Dad went out. Listening to it brings back memories of pure JOY!! Lololouder Blessings to y’all 😂
