Glad u liked it I heard it when in my mid twenty!! Yes am older 🤣 but in those days the had alot of nice clubs with crazy lazer computer lights, fog machines pounding nice speakers and with the smell of alcohol, perfumes, cigarettes and everyone was freaking out and happy and yes some with drugs lol and people be wondering if they would hook up with someone nice... so much nice energy. Funny thing we all thought it was always gonna last the music the clubs sad that now no clubs for anyone and the few they have are very expensive and they pick u from the line 😞 But still theses and other music from the past still can transform you so look for more and enjoy 👍👍
I was 17 taking a advanced course at The University of Maryland, And a couple of fine young ladies from Manhattan & Staten Island, Turned me on to this group and explained what the " B.B.& what the Q" stood for ! Since i was from around P.G. county I took them too the Classic's nite club even tho we could'nt get in we stayed in 1 of the girls Mercede's and drank some Wine Coolers & jammed this track over & over ! Man what a memorable nite ! This song will always be part of me growing up !
It has some Of the Coolest beats n feelnsOutthere! Bringing Bk!🕺 The AlegriA Fine Foot 🦶 Tappin Disco'👐ishfeel! Everyone seems so happy and gota cool☀️🌞 springspringIn 🎭🌞Thr step!☀️
With MUSIC like this, who needed "anti-depressants"? Seriously, we must take this back and show people today what real FUN was about. Loved this on the rides at the amusement park!! :)
This reminds me of my youngest son when he was 3 years old. He loved this song. I can still hear his little voice, "It's only up the street..." RIP David - miss you - love you.
How can anybody not like this? Bought the 7" single in 1981. Definitely in my all time top 10 - Chic's 'Good Times' will never be surpassed but there's a subtle Nile Rogers hint in this BB & Q track.
damn I'm 17 years old and a house music dj and i wish kids my age liked great tunes like this, although disco house is getting popular I'm starting to realize that disco never died, and It's always here to stay, tunes like this will never die, and just recently I found a group called the dropout orchestra who sampled this song and titled theres "capuchin" and i knew it sounded familiar thanks to my dad for playing all the good disco jams and thanks for the upload always a good feeling with disco
I remember when this song was out and every time they'd play it on WBLS it was always a genuine feeling of euphoria....that's what the music was back then...made you feel so good
The whole world was "on the beat" while BB & Q and so many other great groups were supplying the groove! After work every Friday, it was, "happy hour", gettin' the straight jump on the weekend! The "fun quotient" had pegged the needle! In less than 30 minutes, work was but a mere speck in our rear view mirror. We were, yet again, takin' a big bite of the "Good Life!!"
I have almost 50years old and I'm in love when hear this song.I pay a lot of money 32 years ago to by this LP.I have dance twice an weekend.great 's time for funky music and do not forget I was and still live in Romania.in there time i;v got a great gang of friends who dancing and party's.I miss this time.really..
I was fresh off the streets of Detroit and on my way to Germany...yeah Air Force style! I remember a guy in the airport was playing this song on his JVC boombox and I was watching the Fraulines go crazy for this song in the airport...dem days
For a long time I thought this was a song by La Chic, but later I found out different...The B.B & Q Band did this. "Everybody's dancing, everybody's on the beat."
Que saudade do meu Fusca rebaixado, vidros pretos, bancos pró-car, toca-fitas da Bosh, amplificador GR-300 da Tojo, etc. E ouvindo esses sons maravilhosos que tocavam na época; sem falar nas gatinha é claro... Bons tempos.... Que viveu sabe o que estou dizendo.
This is the greatest Disco funk hit ever it's so catchy and danceable and makes everybody happy and in a joyful mood...I was Dj-ing from 1981 to 1996 but this tune still brings a lot of people to the floor!! So many glad memories of this!! LOVE BBQ Band wherever u are today!!

I got 'Saved' last year, but some how this title was on the right side of the page. I said' wait, let me check that out for a moment. Man a smile came on my face when i heard this!
this band made me want to move to new york! Brooklyn,Bronx and Queens!!!! they got some badass bands there and this is one of the baddest!!! in the land! thanks for posting!
Reason why is sounds so good today is bcs it's a great song ,great singing deep rhythm w/ cool bass , keyboard , guitar, many levels showing how well it was produced ... from a group that wasn't a house hold name but made great dance songs as good as ANY .
Me too...man I remember when this song came out. I was primarily a rock and roll guy until one day I was fiddling with the radio dial and heard this song--it absolutely blew me away and I've never been the same since LOL!! The station where I first heard this cut was the late great soul radio station WEBB in Baltimore--God what great memories this brings back!!
BOOM!! the days of vinyl...what pure real magic of tune...which could only the B,B.Q.Band...knew how to rock the soul generation....thanks for posting...real classic old tune,,,still gets me up when i hear it now!!....way back then we knew how to enjoy ourselves and we still do.....thanks ever so much for posting...your a real genius..thanks for sharing and keeping old school.....excellent track.......i salute you.....
Que maravilha poder reviver esse tempo ouvindo uma música maravilhosa com esta!!! velhos tempos de uma verdadeira "discoteque" !! Que bom que eu vivi esse tempo!!! Obrigado meu Deus!!
I had the privilege of doing background vocals on this recording and also working with Kevin Nance, Clare Bathé and Jay Stovall from “Machine “! Thanks also to TONY VALOR who had me doing session work in NYC. The rest is my history. ChinaDoll of the Platters
Chicago's Battle of the DJs! I would be out on that dance floor sweatin' like a track star! I loved these beats and I am blessed to have lived and enjoyed an era where Black music reflected the art of dance and people having a good time. Guys pulled their pants up and dressed to kill, not shuffle the dirt with their pants around their ankles killing people.
HOLY SMOKES !!! I 4GOT ABOUT THIS KOOL AZZ JAM ! IM FROM WASHINGTON DC. they use to jam this on 95.5 W.P.G.C.( where people get cash ) was the phrase back then and this was my jam! people down this way fought againest anything NEW YORK (u can't fight good music) BUT i like them so much i had to found out WHAT B-B-Q stood for= BROOKLYN,BRONX AND QUEENS for the musicians in the band.
man, do the memories come floodin back!! I remember dj'ng at Skate City in Westchester NY and literally everyone would be on the floor when i put this on, thanks for posting!

Trabalhei mais de 20 anos com minha equipe de som no Rio e nessa época rolava as patinações pela cidade, começando no Cassino Royale na Lagoa e se estendo pela zona norte onde fiz bastante tempo patinação nas tardes de domingo com casa cheia todos os bailes. Independente das patinações era também a época a fabulosa dance music nos clubes, boates e danceterias. Anos 70 e 80 foram com certeza as duas maiores décadas de música no mundo todo. O saudade!!!!!
I remember this!!! I like this - it sorta sounds like the dance group " High Fashion's Feelin Lucky Lately" - I had to listen closely at first. Wow - this is some good music. Thanks for posting.
I never heard this song before and I LOvE these kinds of songs!!!!! I just stumbled On to this lol :D it reminds me of SOS band and alex o Neal. God I love these types of songs I was actually dancing in bed for Christ sake lol
GrandMaster, sto ballando anche oggi, nel 2017, grazie per avermi fatto riascoltare questa canzone favolosa che ha fatto parte della mia vita, e grandissimi bb e q band
I just discovered this jam. Love it. I wish they made music like this today. Then again, it just wouldn't be the same.
Something bout the limitations made us more creative and better at what we did.
Glad u liked it I heard it when in my mid twenty!! Yes am older 🤣 but in those days the had alot of nice clubs with crazy lazer computer lights, fog machines pounding nice speakers and with the smell of alcohol, perfumes, cigarettes and everyone was freaking out and happy and yes some with drugs lol and people be wondering if they would hook up with someone nice...
so much nice energy. Funny thing we all thought it was always gonna last the music the clubs
sad that now no clubs for anyone and the few they have are very expensive and they pick u from the line 😞
But still theses and other music from the past still can transform you so look for more and enjoy 👍👍

This sounds like 80's Manhattan ....city sounds ,busy New York streets.
Just can't hold back from moving my dancing feet to this one... and why should I? Irresistable groove.
when i hear this tune, it brings me back to the good old days up on top of the cn tower at sparkles disco, nothing will ever beat the 80's
Thee jam...ahhhh...80's memories....the absolute shadiggity-dig....whoo-hoo!!! Party on!!!!
That was great!
REPRESENT THE FUNKY MUSIC OF THE 80'S!!!!!!
Only the best quality for the best music.
wonderful song one of the best of 80's
I gotta say that's the most profound way to put this, that I've ever heard...so very true,
is all I can say.
I was fresh off the streets of Detroit and on my way to Germany...yeah Air Force style! I remember a guy in the airport was playing this song on his JVC boombox and I was watching the Fraulines go crazy for this song in the airport...dem days
Me too...was headed to first overseas assignment, Rhein Main from Minot!
Un morceaux qui as marquet les 80 s en bautee avec son rhytme et que j ais en maxi 45 t evidament
I'm 2 years old and I just love 70s and 80s funk. I think it has been the best music period ever!!!!!
RIP Larry Levan! Without him this track wouldnt have the wide recognition it has today!
Hard to believe they don't make music like this anymore. I remember listening to this in NYC; WBLS, WKTU and KISS. Those where the good times.
This reminds me of The group Change. Really like It ✊Right on!
Angela Day Sounds like a mixture of Change & Chic. Still sounds great & brings back memories.
Change and the B. B. & Q. Band had the same producing team in Jacques Fred Petrus and Mauro Malavasi and shared some musicians too.
For a long time I thought this was a song by La Chic, but later I found out different...The B.B & Q Band did this. "Everybody's dancing, everybody's on the beat."
AWWH YYYEEEHHH!!!

I saw and met them while vacationing with family and friends in Old Orchard Beach, Maine, USA super early 80's - great live and nice people : )
This was the jam back in the day! Still jams! Old School Forever!
Hermosa canción del año 1982, recuerdo cuando ingresé a la Universidad.....esa era verdadera música....sencillamente espectacular y melodiosa¡¡¡¡
How could someone not like this song?
Still a bad azz song, make you dance yourself insane!
Splendide!!!!

I met the lead singer of this record at Guitar Center, downtown Brooklyn, September 2016!! Real cool lad!!
love, love, love this song! I was young and cute and danced the night away... How I hate getting old!
WBAV-FM in Charlotte got me hooked onto this song back in 2001...it was on regular rotation there.

Prego
Aqui no Brasil em 1980 e poucos havia uma coletânea chama Hit Parade, e em uma delas, a de nº 3 eu acho, fazia parte esta bela música, good old times.
