I am 70 years and I always throw something out whenever I hear this song. If you don’t move something on your body during this great dam groove, you are dead! By the way, get down on it!!!!
Sir you come from a beautiful era. I was just a kid at that time and remember my dad and mom had the shirts, the jeans, those suits, and the shoes. It was time I remember when life was simple and was so groovy.
Playing this for my kids regularly, gotta make sure the next gen hears real talent ❤️ Edited to update: Got to see Kool & The Gang live last weekend, 2nd row from the front! Absolutely amazing show! ❤️
It never gets old. A prime example of "up-beat", lively, and great energetic music. This is a timeless masterpiece by a band that knows how to put them together. A class act Kool and the Gang always was. True legends in the music industry.

The Earth Wind and Fire "Let's Groove" is the superior "too much technology and video editing skills at our disposal than we know what to do with" 1981 video.

When I was in rehab a very old an crack addicted man would ask for my guitar and sing 'get down on it'. It was the only thing he could remember. Unfortunately, none of us could quite figure out what song he was singing until later. This may sound sad, but it wasn't. He was expressing his spirit the best way he could near the end and we got to sing with him . I love you man.

A video of Kool & The Gang demonstrating what bad internet streaming will look like 40 years in the future. Before there was internet and cell phones. BRILLIANT!
Dude, I just realized that this song is from the 1981 album "something special", by Kool & The Gang. Therefore, she is forty years old, FORTY YEARS OLD. She is older than most people who comment on TH-cam videos. Despite this, she is still hugely successful at parties and clubs. After all this time, It still makes people want to get up, and dance, and have fun. Even today's kids, who didn't enjoy it, and weren't even alive, during the eighties like it. If this is not a masterpiece, then I don't really know what a masterpiece is.
@@willritter4076 With all due respect, I disagree. At least in my view, the age of a song should be counted from its release, not from the date it plays on the radio. This song was released on September 24, 1981, on the album "Something Special" by Kool & The Gang, so in a way it is even correct to think that she is not yet 40 years old, because it is still March, but in no way some will have to wait until 2022 to celebrate this achievement. But it's just my way of thinking, if you think differently, that's fine by me. Peace. Iuri Buscácio
I think all my parents and their friends in Italy just sang it like "Geddamone, Keggirone". It was funny to understand what the song truly says after all these years ahahahah
Don Jave Always nice people on the internet, and no, i bang my head so many times but what i wrote in my comment was just maked by the ignorance there was in italy about the english language. Nothing crazy.
I use to think this song was from my time because when I was a kid, this use to be played at all the school dances! At my job, I work with people all in their 40s and late 50s. I'm in my late 20s .When I was jamming out at work they started laughing at me saying jokes like I'm to young and what I know about that lol. I didn't know this came out around the the 70s , 80s era. You got to love the classics man.🙏😎
Indeed!! I'll name classic's off the top of my head not even my grandparents can name. They just have such an amazing energy. You just gotta love it man.
@Scott Davidson what about earth wind and fire? As well as Cheska Khan? I've been getting more into old school songs since today's music is just horrendous. Any suggestions?
@@solidtron1965 It depends what you want. Try a yt search for 'disco 70s'. But if you'd like to try some other styles, try Vangelis, 'Simon and Garfunkel', Smokey, Dr Hook, 'Emerson, Lake and Palmer', for a start. You could also try some French, Italian, Greek and Spanish music from the 70s. And if you'd like something different yet again, try 'Rodrigo y Gabriela', try some Spanish classical guitar, some waltzes and marches, some Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms. There's no shortage of great music but it's not promoted. Have fun. 🙂
CIAO at all...from Milano (italy ) i am 74 years old ..from 1981 when i was in africa i still dance witch this song...and when i will fly to the sky i wish this song for my cerimony...Hugs from Italy
This will forever make me think of my Mom and Dad....damn this is just beautiful. Nothing but positivity and good vibes. All the family parties and car rides hearing them groove to this :D
I‘m 15, and I freak out when I hear the song. Such a classic masterpiece. I would spend all my money to go back to old music… Get down on it forever🔥🔥🔥
Back in the 70s, there were so many great groups and so much great music of different genres. If you are talking about this kind of music, you can't leave out The Commodores!
I cry sometimes when I hear this song, my mom introduced it to me when I was little and we would dance together to it. It’s tough man, it’s time I hear it and I feel good then times I’m crushed… Miss you mom❤
I feel so fortunate to have grown up listening to Kool and the Gang, Earth Wind & Fire, Parliament Funkadelic, Rick James, Zapp & Roger, and many others. Soul Train wouldn't be able to survive on the music they're making today.

This song is absolute funk😅😅😂😂
Get down on it
I genuinely think if this song was released today it would be a number 1 hit
Nope 69 would beat it
@@Walkinthepark305 69 most recent album flopped
I use to think this song was from my time because when I was a kid, this use to be played at all the school dances! At my job, I work with people all in their 40s and late 50s. I'm in my late 20s .When I was jamming out at work they started laughing at me saying jokes like I'm to young and what I know about that lol. I didn't know this came out around the the 70s , 80s era. You got to love the classics man.🙏😎
Indeed!! I'll name classic's off the top of my head not even my grandparents can name. They just have such an amazing energy. You just gotta love it man.
Out of curiosity... have you guys heard of Billy ocean??
@Scott Davidson what about earth wind and fire? As well as Cheska Khan? I've been getting more into old school songs since today's music is just horrendous. Any suggestions?
@@solidtron1965 It depends what you want. Try a yt search for 'disco 70s'. But if you'd like to try some other styles, try Vangelis, 'Simon and Garfunkel', Smokey, Dr Hook, 'Emerson, Lake and Palmer', for a start. You could also try some French, Italian, Greek and Spanish music from the 70s. And if you'd like something different yet again, try 'Rodrigo y Gabriela', try some Spanish classical guitar, some waltzes and marches, some Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms. There's no shortage of great music but it's not promoted. Have fun. 🙂
24 and i am a fan of 60s 70s 80s, a bit 90s songs
CIAO at all...from Milano (italy ) i am 74 years old ..from 1981 when i was in africa i still dance witch this song...and when i will fly to the sky i wish this song for my cerimony...Hugs from Italy
This will forever make me think of my Mom and Dad....damn this is just beautiful. Nothing but positivity and good vibes. All the family parties and car rides hearing them groove to this :D
right
+Mark Hazleton You had Kool folks...=)
,the good times indeed
exactly haha
you spoke the truth, i miss those days too
I‘m 15, and I freak out when I hear the song. Such a classic masterpiece. I would spend all my money to go back to old music…
Get down on it forever🔥🔥🔥
I'm right with you. I'm 53 and still Getting Down on It. Hugs to you sweetheart 🤗
On god. I’m the same age and I play this like every morning😂😂😂
Well good for you you can listen to it anytime.. for free! Like you are doing right now!
That is Great. Hope is not lost when I read stuff like that from very young people 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Coming from a 22 year old who felt the same way when I was 15 , never give this up!
You know the song's good when it still appears in commercials 40 years later
in which one?

th-cam.com/video/SAjmVsjYROw/w-d-xo.html 80s song I produced and made in my car fuck with that shit
Ouvindo em 2022.
Agreed!!!!
😄😄😄😄
Wahnsinn, über welche Stimme Rick nach wie vor verfügt. Kein Unterschied zum Original von 1987. Danke dafür. Da kann man nur mit grooven.
Why can't people make music like this anymore? Loved Kool and the Gang
Times have changed
The two best groups ever: kool and the gang, Earth Wind and Fire, they just don’t make music that good anymore!!!!!!!
Facts!!!!
Yeah i love them..oh and The Jacksons too!😀
Back in the 70s, there were so many great groups and so much great music of different genres. If you are talking about this kind of music, you can't leave out The Commodores!
My two are Atlantic Star and Kool And The Gang.
Need to listen to Leon Bridges. His song, "River" is ah-mazing!
I cry sometimes when I hear this song, my mom introduced it to me when I was little and we would dance together to it. It’s tough man, it’s time I hear it and I feel good then times I’m crushed… Miss you mom❤
My condolences goes out to you and your family
Your Mom would love to see you happy, dancing this song!!!
Keep dancing for your mom. She was a great lady and doesn't want to see you cry. 💗
@@maggs131Thank you 🙏🏾
So sorry for your loss Willie....look after yourself 🙏💔
1CORINTHIANS 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 💗
I grew up with Kool and the Gang and they will never get old.
RIP Ronald bell, a great musician that will be dearly missed
No he wont
@@JuliansAZombie why would he not?

me: Hits elbow.
Nervous system:
😆
Your nervous system has a good taste in music
quality comment this
LMAOOOO
You made me laugh so hard I spit out my ice cream!!!
One of the greatest groups of all the time truly iconic.
Love "Kool & The Gang" and love this song. This is the kind of music that brings people together and we really need that now.
The Effects Guy: "How many special effects do you want?"
Kool and the Gang: "Yes."
Exactly !
Kassinão!
yes
special effects guy: but we only have a atari 400
"Just one special effect, but I want ALL OF IT"
The dislikes are the people who stayed on the wall and didn't dance.
lolll facts
Funny 💃🏽
hahaha thats actually funny
nice
excellent comment. thank you
Happy to hear and dance with you still in 2024🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is one of those songs you'll never want it to end.
I feel so fortunate to have grown up listening to Kool and the Gang, Earth Wind & Fire, Parliament Funkadelic, Rick James, Zapp & Roger, and many others. Soul Train wouldn't be able to survive on the music they're making today.
I Agree Not Enough Instuments. With Todays Music All We Really Get Is Words (rapp), At Times Nasty Bad Words That Dont Inspire Me .Stevie Wonder FOREVER
I disagree, good music is timeless and if this came out today it would just as popular.
That's for dang sure soltrans wouldn't even ACCEPT today's music!
Our life soundtrack is awesome...
If you are reading this, it doesn't matter where you are right now on this planet, I wish you a wonderful night and a happy. peaceful life where all your dreams come true.
Same to you God bless u 🙏
Awesome. I'm glad you REALLY put effort into making the world a better place with this comment. It'll totally solve all my problems and stress and issues.
Brazil, deus abençoe 🙌🙏
You too and thank you
❤❤❤❤también para ti muchas bendiciones
The Best group of the history Kool and the gang
I was having a total crap day and my 13 year old niece text me this song randomly, she must have sensed the vibes. Now I’m getting down on it and feeling a bit better 😆 🎶 💫✨💜🌿 thanks!
Cool. Song yep 70's
Good niece with good taste!
Ich auch ,liebe Grüsse aus den unvergesslichen 80'😅😅😉
@@janhuber2799 80s
Awesome kid with great taste
0% rudeness
0% twerking
100% broken video equipment
I'd be honored if some fans of late 70s/early 80s groove classics would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of SEPTEMBER by Earth Wind & Fire and JUST ONCE by Quincy Jones on my YT channel in tribute to Maurice White & James Ingram, 2 iconic vocalists of that period who left us in recent years. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace & respect to the legends.

Hahaha.. Reminds me of windows 98 windows.. They did the same thing if your system was slow
Freddie Bradley well that’s no fun twerking is fun especially when you go to one of those stripp clubs
Reminds me of Earth, Wind, & Fire. Love this kind of music!
Hello,i am from the future!
Me too
Hello from 2019

I'm the newest comment tho 😎
Wow, I remember this terrific song. I had no idea how many people were in the S.O.S. Band.
My mom told me it was the opening song for discos in the late years of socialism in Bulgaria. I was playing it by accident and I could see it brought so many memories to her. Indeed, good music gets passed through generations and cultures.
Too true I believe that too
@@trippybart2466 pretty fantastical elements in this highly surreal story by a man who is hiding behind a photo of himself in a real life setting. Something screams sham and balloonery.
1981
March 2020 we still getting down 💜
Now April my dude
you know it
I am boogeying!! 💃 Not standing on the wall!!
We are really getting down 👀
April you mean
RIP George Brown and thank you for the classic vibes you created in the 70s.
Lagu yang mengingatkanku waktu aku masih sekolah di SMP...tak terasa umurku sudah 58 tahun
How does one listen to this song and not move a body part?
Lying in bed :/
by having your back up up ON the wall
No idea
I HEARD ALL THE PEOPLE SAYIN....
@@cursed_multicel comments like that are why i love the internet. Kudos to you
2017 people be still listening ! Groovy songs never get old, never !

the music is like the wine, it gets better with time XD
Alice de la peschardière we need music like this nowadays
Brings back memories!!!!
Alice de la peschardière I wonder if people in 2500 will still listen to this, I hope so
How can you not get your back up off the wall and dance, when you're listening to this jam?! 🎉 Dance at home, dance in the kitchen, dance in the living room, dance at the grocery store! I absolutely love his voice! ❤
Kool and The Gang -
From Jersey City NJ. They know everyone and everyone knows them!!!
”Dude, am I lagging?”
Me: ”No you're fine”
Them:
No wonder they just are vibing to hard while they are lagging

THIS IS A CERTIFIED HOOD CLASSIC

Swear people be thinking hanging wit old people is lame or bad when it’s 🔥🔥
