A true disco diva! Life was fantastic back then, friday and saturday nights were sacred and there was a joy of living that does not exist anymore.
Exactly there wasn't all the dam chaos and confusion, that we have now!
2024… still loving and listening to Ms Karen Young and Hot Shot!
The singer, Karen Young, was an incredibly soulful talent. She had the personality of a funky blues singer wrapped up in a white body moving to a disco beat. There were a lot of folks like her back in those days, before everybody got all bougie and stand-offish.
Alicia Bridges?
Observen la sencillez de esos talentos y comparen con esos payasos de ahora con disfraces y coreografia para cubrir su música de fábrica.
Good times.
It was a minor top 40 hit in the UK at the tail end of that summer of 1978. I was only 13 then but used to hear this on the radio sometimes. Now I know what she looked like. She was 27 then and it's sad that she didn't get to see 40.
I'm 49 yrs old. This was the first 45 single my Mom (RIP) bought for me and my older brother in Bedstuy Brooklyn.. it was the hottest jam that summer
Sampled in Indo Silver Club
It was the hottest joint that summer...your right,it was played EVERY WHERE
Awesome time!!!🎉😊
Lol...I spent just about the whole summer on Tompkins ave. that year....too young to travel anywhere else by myself
Music helps soothe pain ( la música ayuda a calmar el dolor )
for the people that didn't live through that era...
YES IT WAS THAT MUCH FUN !!!
Sure was and much better than today! And I mean it and today sucks!
Absolutely. The mission was to be creative, feel confident and have good fun. Life was beautiful🥰😌🔥
@@sherriearrington6830 si que fue de lo mejor, los que lo vivimos lo podemos constatar.
This was and still is a GREAT dance song. So well sung and delivered by Diva Karen Young. That scatting in those moments is fierce. Love it!
Ravene Lady: Scat is scarce.
so sad she died so young....would have loved to have her on my fm radio show
Disco... one of the most underrated genres in music...
Fabulous, timeless song, great composition, craftsmanship and magnificent voice!
ThelemicMagick I Know...right?!!! And NONE of us EVER had a weight problem cuz we danced our asses off to the best music of the 20th century. And with AIDS, some were dancing like there was no 2morrow!
I love disco.
I agree with you.
93s! I totally agree..
Yea aside from Flashdance (and Donna Summer til she died) dance music got progressively worst and worst til now it is pathetic
Why is everyone talking about her appearance ? FFS, she has a great voice and that's what counted !!!!
Exactly. This is a spectacular classic disco song, not the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. It's really incredible how many ignorant, stupid and nasty people that exist in this world.
Those millenial airheads know nothing about fashion & old school disco💃🏃💃🏃💃🏃💃
I just spent an hour listening to 'new hits' - all whiny, talentless, garbage ballads with thin voices stetched to no return. The future is bleak.
@@thelastbaronweeren5549 songs? Modern pop knows not the meaning of the word. They all sound like they are going to burst into tears, throw up, or just have a serious human race failure 🤔
She doesn't even look bad either so yeah, kinda weird.
Honey I remember my mom dancing to this getting ready for Studio 54. Blue eye shadow glistening, platform to the ceiling 🤣 Rip mommy😎
I’m in awe of people who can sing and move like this... sooo natural. I love her voice... I love the disco era!
One of disco's high points. Rest in peace Karen and I know you can hear me.
This is a freaking timeless song i really love it.
Still one of my favorite disco songs, good music stays great forever. RIP Karen Young, gone much too soon...
R.I.P.
Wonderful.
OMG. I forgot this one. One of the greatest disco songs I danced to back in the day. I also thought she was black, dang she’s SO GOOD.
Sadly She died, but this song is remembered by many
I remember dating a Girl who said she didn't like this song and from that moment I knew we didn't have a future.
I had no idea that Philly had so many amazing Blue Eyed Soul Singers from her, Len Barry, and Vickie Sue Robinson not to mention Hall & Oates.
When this came out - and for decades - I thought this was sung by a Black woman! Just shows you that music is the language of everyone! On par with the greats: Donna Summer, Thelma Houston, Diana...etc...
me to...i thouhgt the singer was black
No clue she was WHITE! Lolol
Blue eyed soul
I saw Karen Young at the 2001 nightclub in Pittsburgh when.I was 21 back in 1979. I was surprised she was a heavy set white woman
She had a pure soulful jazzy voice.Karen you are one of those voices that is the bomb!!!
LOVE this song... RIP Karen Young
I was actually dancing next to her at Infinity in NYC in 1978. We were dancing to Hot Shot actually. She seemed to be having a great time and looked like she was a lot of fun to be around.
Infinity was a great club. So sad when it burned down.
NO CELL PHONES!!!....You left your house to go out and have a good time and that was that all that was left was the answering machine ...DAMN I MISS the '70s
So true, look at all these people enjoying themselves. Wonderful times.
I can see why you miss it
I don't believe we had answering machines back then.😊 We seemed to have regressed with some technology. I remember back then.
They didn't have cell phones
And the 80’s for me. 🎶🎶🎶
This will NEVER EVER get old!!! I've loved this song since the day I first heard it; I'm 54 and still listening; played it this morning on my drive into work!
Karen was a friend of mine in Philly. She was an angel!
My all-time favorite disco song.......Latin beat, powerful vocals, great percussion, killer break. RIP Karen
The vocal delivery is insane. So glad my family was into funk, soul and disco. Always loved this song.
0:06 - That bit is the main sample for Daft Punk's "Indo Silver Club", for if anyone was wondering c:
a fellow intellectual
@@hudsonrolls8465 indeed
Yessss
Whoa!!!!!
Memories of '78
What ya'll youngins know 'bout this immortal jam?
That's when cool was still authentic!
Alas, what a fleeting moment in the annals of American history this was-when the music was smokin' hot, the dance floor was filled to capacity---and, the morale was as liberating as the era that so quintessentially defined it. Rest in eternal peace, my dearest Karen Young---the ride was one of delirious rapture-to present day, hypnotic effect!
+Richard Iritano Your eloquent description of that era was most accurate. I'm so glad that I lived during it.
Thank you, Charles C. But, how sad that so many of the 'oh so brief' disco era that was carried by a somewhat stable rank and file (who kept the momentum strong and relevant), didn't know what they had until it was gone, baby, gone (through no fault of their own, mind you).
Now, in our post capitalist era of American Neo-Feudalism, Neo-Fascism and Neo-Bolshevism (that has been FOISTED upon the other side of the Atlantic by a 'Hijack-And-Hostage' government coup (so ordered by their corporate bought henchmen), is now completely controlled by voracious oligarchs of epic, humanitarian (and ecological) fail, where the party ended long ago---and, where taking a backward glance to an idyllic time of the disco era (and the night time madness and unique clubs that so defined it), now seems QUAINT and innocent.
Hence, I am very much allergic to all things 21st century---where the mantra, credo and edict of America's betraying-and-failed democratic government (to flag and country) is: 'Delay, Deny---And, Hope That You Die' (where people have actually died), and where the corrupt politicians (not public servants), remind each other: Don't Blow My Scam---And, I Won't Blow Yours!
In the end, I am finally ready for another dimension...
Richard Iritano u
Richard Iritano The manner in which you described the disco era made me cry. Those were wonderful years... when music was REAL music... when disco queens, like Karen Young, Donna Summer, and all the greats, delivered unforgettable songs that made everyone want to make it to the already overcrowded dance floor. Thank you for reminding me of that memorable era.
@@sandsintaufer I second your emotions.
WHAT A TUNE !!!. I'm surprised nobody's even mentioned the Hot Shots tune for the great shots in ITV snooker. Been going for years. They're probably not snooker minded.
La era Disco es un momento mágico de la música y de la humanidad, lo más triste es que no regresara, bendita la gente que vivió este momento histórico de la musica
Tout à fait d’accord, pour l’avoir vécu.
Elle peut revenir, cela ne tient qu’à nous. De bons et nouveaux auteurs reprennent le rythme. A voir sur TH-cam
Yo tmbn creo que si puede volver esa maravillosa música Disco de antañooo!!!. Por qué nooo????....La industria musical y autores tiene la palabrasaa!!!!. Háganlo x favooorrr!!!!!. Millones estaremos recontra gradecidos!!!!!!!.... Y como es eso que algunos autores están acelerando el ritmo??? Dónde y como qué buscamos en TH-cam como muestras x favooor?????.
If you compare going out in the 1960s to the disco era what a difference!
It was a revolution
There is a next generation of disco it’s out now
good ol' classic disco that mostly only the True Believers seem to remember
Yeah.
It’s all about the sound back then looks shouldn’t be a big deal
I'm a believer!
Karen Young was GREAT!
Who else is here jammin with me during quarantine ?
Me! I remember seeing her on a Local Dance Show in New York. Philadelphia had some amazing Blue Eyed Soul Singers. Her, Len Barry, Hall & Oates and Vickie Sue Robinson.
Me 🙋🏿♂️
Meeee
Me to ☺😊👍
@@laminage Seeing?!?...We experienced it!!🗽
Beyond brilliant! Look how much fun everyone is having! Such a stark difference to appearance obsessed nightclubs of the 2010/20s.
love this song,to hell with those who didn't like how she looked, this song was the bomb in jamaica, every juke box from kingston to montego bay had it.
@Willie Gordon Yes, that's exactly what happened. West End Records put the record out with Karen's picture on the sleeve and nobody bought it. So they took her picture off and it sold like hotcakes.
@@thereareotherworlds She looks older than 27 and she's, .. well, white. There was sort of a stigma about older people doing disco records in those days because Percy Faith and Al Martino types were making the younger crowd uncomfortable. But damn, this lady could sing; too bad her career was so short.
And Akron, Ohio!!!
We were rock’n
One of my Happy Songs.
Love this amazing song, RIP Karen Young!!!
European...black...white...who cares! This song rocked the house Back in the day!! Still jamming to it!
I can remember being 7 yrs old living in Newark nj when I first heard and fell in love with this song..OMG.. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS...💖💖💖💖 U JUST LIT MY FIRE 🤣🤣😂🤣😂👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰
Love the crowd- looks like a real party and I wish I were there!!
Que bella época de mi niñez, me acuerdo en la sala bailando con mis tías, lo máximo 💕
Que bien, yo bailaba disco solo conmigo. En mi casa solo gustaban de la salsa y a mi la salsa nunca me tramó
Yo recuerdo las tardes de domingos con mi madre moviendo los muebles del salón para recrear nuestro studio 54 😂 ❤
I remember this from when I was a kid in the seventies. still love it. thanks for posting
Sampled in indo silver club
Wow 🤩 ❤❤❤❤ RIP Karen young ❤❤❤
my great uncle wrote this!
My uncle Kurt Borusiewicz RIP
This song is a fine gem, Best of Best
Beautiful Youth, that was Youth, spectacular music, wherever you like from the 70's and 80's you like it.👏👏👏👄
In 1978 I saw Karen "HotShot" Young perform this at The Harbor Island Spa on the Jersey Shore... no stage, she sang right in the middle of the dance floor. She was wearing a blousy floral dress that looked more like a curtain or lamp shade and she was sort of dancing while singing. To be honest she looked very matronly especially to a young guy like me at the time, I may have been idk... 18 or 19. This is not to take away from the song or her singing which for the time was awesome. The song was a club banger! Even today if this song is played at an old school "Disco" night... it crowds the floor.
Dj Tony !How nice you saw Karen Young, a long time ago. I'm happy for you. 👍🇧🇷
I love that you remember she was billed as Karen 'Hot Shot' Young on all the posters. My late friend used to hoop over that! This was his favorite song, at the time I was into more white bread stuff, like Bee Gees, Bob Seger, Linda Ronstadt, & this didn't really appeal to me, but now I appreciate it much more. Thanks for your post.
This song resonated in my brain early this morning and it's been 40 years since the last time I heard it in Miami. That's a sign of a good song! Forget about the condition of my brain. There's a lot of artists that have had beautiful one hit wonders. This is one of those beauties....
It's a shame she was a one hit wonder she certainly had talent unlike some other one hit wonders that had the one hit simply because the record was well produced
I can't get enough of this song! Here it is 2021 my disco gene still resides inside. R.I.P. Karen Young & thanks for the memories. Peace
Regardless of how she looks, she had a great voice.
What's wrong with her looks.......................!!
Sorry, I was judging her by today's standards. She's a talented vocalist and that's all that matters.
Thanks for your milder comment !
+yvonne243 Nothing wrong with her looks necessarily, its just that when you hear this on the radio you expect some young big bossomed southern blonde, but what you get is my average looking next door neighbor who just got lucky with one song...thats all. :)
And what hit did you have?
❤❤❤ Best disco song ever, never gets old. RIP Karen.
Classic, great song, from
Philly as well. Music is just not like this any more.
Thanks for posting this.
Peace & blessings.
I wish it was 1978 again. This song was HOT back then!
MUST BE 1978 THEN!!!!!!!!!!!
The best of the best, incredible sounds of it's time.
I was in the seventh grade when this came out . Nice
I dance and dance this a thousand of times in my youth!!
I loved this song from the day it came out and I thought she was a black singer because she had so much soul. This is one that will remind me of the better days.. luv this. Thank you.
Karen and Vickie Sue Robinson had great voices.
R. I. P. both of them.
I'm always in the mood for 70s disco music. This is "Hot Shot" by the fabulous Karen Young.
#KarenYoung #70smusic #discomusic
At 70 years the Disco era was the best of times .i still enjoy the music today as I did then
Before Rap was pressed on Vinyl we were spinning this at the Park Jams... Still kills the Dance floor.......
Yes sir nyc park james red hook pj's.coffey park
Cool song! Cool rhytm! Cool video !!!!!! Epic production - and part of my childhood on mtv!!!!!!!
Wasn't into disco music then, but this was one of three or four discosongs that I liked...and still do. A CLASSIC!
A legendary iconic artist and classic song.🙏🏽😎
... definitely one of the best Disco tracks ever. In my opinion, this was the blueprint of all Disco recordings of that era. The Classic of that excellent genré. I still have the original 12" import copy, borrowed 'permanently' from my father, ha ha ha ha ha ha ... "thanks Dad" R. I. P. 😊👍🏾👌🏾.
Heard this on a Block party in the summer of 1978 in Brooklyn....on East 96 st between Clarkson and Winthrop......
It was and still a masterpiece of work!
We did our thing !
I think I was there
underrated song.
The name and the voice fooled me all these years!! I love surprises....You dont have to look any special way to deliver the goods!!! And this is a HOT SHOT!!
Great classic RIP Ms young
Loving the hustle dancers in the crowd
Eu com apenas 16 anos em 1978 ia para as discotecas em Manaus e curtia The Tramps,Kool and the Gang,The Bee Gees,The Tavares,Donna Summer,Glória Gaynor entre outros,não havia tanta violência.
With this disco-killer on a party, the dancefloor must be filled in 10 sec.
Even in these days.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Palmas Para os Anos 70 E O Som Das Discotecas
UM SHOW 🎼
This song makes me wanna break down an 8 ball! BTW my granddad played Cowbell during the live recording of this song! You can thank him for the best part of this song!📠📠📠
There are many best parts of this song, but the singer has to come before the cowbell, sorry. She is fantastic.
R.I.P. Karen Young!
Provincetown Summer 1978 - The best of times.
I was there, the Back Room, the A House
This song was a favorite at Studio 54, great memories and good times...
Pure Disco!!!! Sensacional!!!!
Danced to this song so much back in the Chicago House music craze days.!🤗❤🏠🎶
My Mom didn’t love me singing this tune as a pre-teen. Well, I didn’t what a “hot shot” was @ 12. I just loved the music but I get that Mom wasn’t acutely loving her son singing about wanting a “hot shot.”
At 57, I’ve had my share of hot shots but the memory is great! And so is Mom!❤
RIP Karen
La música cuando era buena música! !!sólo la de esta época, recuerdo que cada vez que salía una canción era éxito total! !!
Totalmente de acuerdo con usted senorits Carrion que era tan Maravillosa recuerdos de las Discos en mi natal Guatemala la Manzana ,La Montana Purpura El Mau Mau El Frasco y tantas pistas de baile al rededor del pais Viva Musica Disco Por Siempre.
One of my all-time favorite songs to hustle to .... HOT SHOT! HOT SHOT! HOT 🔥 🔥 🔥
Look at all those gorgeous people dancing. Everybody was naturally beautiful and had the best time.
Now they are all fat or have frog bodies. Inverted butt and dry thighs + arms from lack of exercise. Lol.

Memories of dancing in New York's fabled clubs: 12 West, Infiniti, Les Mouches, Studio, Flamingo, the Anvil
The greatest summer song that Wildood, NJ heard since Bobby Rydell! Long live the Sundance!
I was 18 years old in 1978 when this song was released.
Yes it's old skool time
Amazing song to dance to under the bright lights of the disco floor....amazing memories from Minneapolis where I lived for a short time in 1978. This song takes me right back to my fav club the Saloon...
She means it, dammit! This has to be the horniest disco record ever recorded.
DAMN!! I MISS THE DISCO SONGS WHAT A GREAT TIME IT WAS, WHO WANTS A RIDE IN MY TIME MACHINE GOING BACK TO THE 70'S
Can I go with you? I hate the 2010s!!
Love this song. My parents wanted to disown me because I played this so much !!!

Wauw old memories i was 13 years old and go for first time out to dance remember this so well ..! LOVE THIS SONG
Forever a classic ❤️❤️❤️
One of the most popular disco songs of 1978. they played it all the time at the disco's great to dance to!!
omg I totally forgot about this song until it showed up in the suggestions when I was playing Get Off by Foxy. Haven't heard it in ages. For some weird reason I used to love this song when I was little. No idea what the song was about of course lol
She worked that part from 0:57-1:05.. get it Karen 💃🏽🕺🏾
She kills it alright 👌
