One morning years ago she was on the back of a modest sized yacht catching morning sun while playing this over and over while I was working a boat a few dock slips down,it was one of the nicest treats ever while wrenching away hearing just the bass and occasionally a soft vocals at a perfect sound level.
@@Goldencountry63 wow how cool that is something to cherish I got to meet her at a concert out here in Sacramento about 10 years ago it was awesome I still am in love with her to this day Boogie Oogie Oogie always number one
I went to college with Linda Taylor. You can find her playing in lot of settings with a lot of artists. She is most visible on the TV show Who's Line Is It Anyway.
That must be Janice-Marie Johnson. She's wonderful. I love watching her; she plays a mean bass, has a great voice, and you can tell she's having a good time.
1978 I was 13 years old and this song was burning up the radio airwaves. Every dance party I went to throughout my teenage years, this song was played. I always loved this song. Thank you for posting this.
I truly hope that when its all said and done that Janice-Marie Johnson will get the respect she deserves as both a singer/musician and a consummate professional when it comes to performing. And to have done this for as long as she has done it, and still look/sound as good as she did back in the day? Much respect to you Miss Thang.
as a pro musician... I'm humbled... way humbled... Janice... playing bass, singing, working the crowd, smiling, dancing in HEELS!... DID I MENTION THE BASS? I would be standing solid as a rock looking like I was passing a kidney stone playing that part! lolol
A kick-ass performance. This song is 40+ years old and I think even the young folks today would get this. And this lady, Linda, on the electric guitar is shredding hard core!
Thank you so much @MrFrankybottom for listing the line-up of the band; the drummer is not credited on the DVD nor anywhere else on the internet (an injustice too him as well as the fabulous percussionist) . . . So, thank you for making me a little bit happier :)
She was simply amazing. WOW! What talent. Not many people have this level of pure talent. She did it all while killing it on the bass. vocals, playmanship and phrasing spot on. Worked the crowd while playing. How many people can do that?
Quite a few, actually. Sting for one... but loads of performers who may have opted to hire someone else to play bass - often at the urging of record companies.
Janice looks and sounds amazing. This is one of the best dance songs ever created. Several decades later this is still a favorite on the dance floor. 😃
It was in my college days when discotheques were everywhere in the 70’s. I still remember hitting multiple places on weekends and dancing till they closed at 2am.
Queen Janice! Killer bass line - the groove is incredible - and she’s singing while playing - this is the stuff of the gods - A Taste of Honey. A master class in musicianship. It doesn’t get any better than this.
@ kss rider. AND, making it look easy!! I’ve been a bass player since 1973 and I know I can play the bass to this but definitely not while singing it and dancing like that. She simply kicks ass!! That’s right, She Bad!! She reminds me of Frieda Payne. Also Hot!!
I hear you brother. The anonymity of the web lets all sorts of nasty behavior spread across the world. In the past people knew who was talking trash. And the assholes would be called out to prove their slander with their fists.
This r legends performing u can't see this presentation today!,sorry to say.....look how high songs of late 70's n 80's decade still crusing high today 2024!
I am so happy to see JJ grooving still. I was very fortunate to be a part of this project in ALTADENA CA. with FONCE & LARRY MIZELL the producers of TASTE OF HONEY with JJ & HAZEL & PERRY ! 🎹🎵❤️
I Saw them Back In 1979 Funk Fest Chicago Confunkshun, Gap Band, Lakeside, Cameo, Parliament Funkadelic & Taste Of Honey! I'm here to Tell You, She/They Turned The Concert OUT!! She Played a 6 minute Solo!! Man I wish we had Camera Phones Back Then!
I don't care what anyone says,, WE HAD THE BEST music in the 70's and 80's without a doubt. During the disco days, every song got you on the floor. Men and women stayed in shape from it too. hahahaha. Ahhhhhhhh the good 'ol days. There will never be another time in history like it was then. THEE BEST!
70s to mid 80s plus 60s Motown stuff is my favorite and I'm only 47 (born in 1973). I feel music started going down after 1986. Love it! Most people my age and younger really didn't get into anybody older than Madonna. My top favorites besides disco classics are Diana Ross, Donna Summer, and the Pointer Sisters. For male singers, it's Smokey Robinson and Lionel Richie all the way baby.
Just a massive “CLASSIC DISCO SONG. Very positive words, special song of the 7O’, getting the tears glow then and now , over all these years. Boogie it all, memories then and now - Just dance the whole night away until morning daylight. Cool baby, good for the mind!!!
I was in UK on vacation when the song came out. I purchased the record; back in my country I went to a discotheque and asked the DJ to play it. He said he did not have it yet. I went home to get my copy and he purchased it from me because it got everyone on the dance floor. I never forgot...
No doubt thee most underrated bassist ever. Please let's give her the credit she's long overdue. This is a bad ass bass line. Like disco or not, you can't deny she brings da funk!
I so miss these days! Nothing was better than dressing up, picking up your dressed to the nines date in a T-top Thunderbird or Cordoba for a night of dancing fun at the DISCOs in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando and Atlanta. The Lime Light, Tiffany's, Speak Easy, Xanadu's to name a few.
As a lady bassist now, lol I would've never thought that this song would mean so much more now today. lol I used to play this song on my walkman playing connect 4 with my sister back in 1999, just one of my dad's many dj tapes from his youth. This brings joy...RIP Dad
This woman is one big reason why us "old people" are usually not impressed by the Taylor Swifts of the world.
Thank you in 2024
😅👍👍👌

She damn still looks good too !!
That lead guitarists is awesome!
8 minutes of pure joy.
listen to "Delicious" by Pure Sugar and see if it sounds similar.
Her ability to play bass well and sing simultaneously is uncannily impressive.
I'll never understand how bass players can do that. Drummers too!
One morning years ago she was on the back of a modest sized yacht catching morning sun while playing this over and over while I was working a boat a few dock slips down,it was one of the nicest treats ever while wrenching away hearing just the bass and occasionally a soft vocals at a perfect sound level.

And dance at the same time.....
Jermaine Jackson also did this!! It’s amazing.
I'm 75 and I'm rockin' in my rocker. Awesome music never gets old.
The 70’s was the best time ever!! The geatest music!!! I’m 67 and still dancing to this awesome music. Best times of my life were in the 70s!!💖💕
The drummer is one fecking cool guy
Wow, I’m watching in 2024 🥰 and remember this song way back when I was a teenager 😂 Omg you sound just a great 💋❤️❗️
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤😭😭😭😭
Don't you remember Boney M too ?
the way she is just in command of everything the audience, the musicians, herself. This is how it is done
Wow!!
Janice Marie Johnson is really great!!
(& of course Linda Taylor)!😍
Insane performance. Impeccable. Janice-Marie Johnson is such a class act
Ooooh my god 😅😅😅
It makes me feel like dancing 😂
I am 62 now and i still love it,love it,love it...........❤️
Linda on guitar- wow what woman and sound
Give more Linda!!
I went to college with Linda Taylor. You can find her playing in lot of settings with a lot of artists. She is most visible on the TV show Who's Line Is It Anyway.
She nailed it in this performance. She has a nice voice, and really funky basslines plus drop dead gorgeous and dances to the music. A grand slam!!!!
How can she still be *THAT FINE* since the 70's??? Have Mercy 🤦🏽♂️
That must be Janice-Marie Johnson. She's wonderful. I love watching her; she plays a mean bass, has a great voice, and you can tell she's having a good time.
That bass line is one of the funkiest bass line ever in music.
@@dannydaniel1234 You are both right. Great comment.
@@dannydaniel1234 Thanks for teaching me something!
Owwwwh U know it !!! :D
He said ONE of the funkiest bass lines. You said no and then listed another bass line. Did you think he meant THE funkiest? 😆
@@dannydaniel1234 そなささしなす
The disco era was a fun times
I love the way she makes use of the whole stage and engages the audience.
Give to the lady with the guitar in her hands a trophy
*crying. Janice is the best thing I've stumbled upon in 2020
I born in 1978, and this music remember me to my beautiful mom. I am sure I was listening this beat before I came to this world.
1978 I was 13 years old and this song was burning up the radio airwaves. Every dance party I went to throughout my teenage years, this song was played. I always loved this song. Thank you for posting this.
I truly hope that when its all said and done that Janice-Marie Johnson will get the respect she deserves as both a singer/musician and a consummate professional when it comes to performing.

That guitarist is also killing it..
+100%
She Bust opened A 6 pack of Smooooth Whopass on her solo !!!!
LINDA GIRL !!!!
@@prezooom4307 that's Linda Taylor who is on the TV show "Whose Line Is It Anyway".
ギタリストは女性ですか？
素敵！ カッコいい！
Great guitar solo. Just please turn on your delay pedal on the verse part 🙏🏻
U still GOT IT GIRL!
I love how she makes Linda Taylor shine..this performance is flawless in every way
@DeGrate1896 precisely my other point!!
as a pro musician... I'm humbled... way humbled... Janice... playing bass, singing, working the crowd, smiling, dancing in HEELS!... DID I MENTION THE BASS? I would be standing solid as a rock looking like I was passing a kidney stone playing that part! lolol

I was there for this tapping in Ashbury Park 2004 PBS disco concert! I won 2 tickets on wcbs fm New York city!
Damn straight, Linda was throwing down.
@@tammanthashaw9299 what is Linda's last name. I've never heard of her. She jams !!!
@@randyneugent Linda Taylor, someone else on here has named her. Check her on TH-cam
The band : Linda Taylor : guitar, Bryant Simpson : bass, Billy Steinway : keys, Steve Stephans : drums, Ed Roth : musical director & piano
Excellent 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much @MrFrankybottom for listing the line-up of the band; the drummer is not credited on the DVD nor anywhere else on the internet (an injustice too him as well as the fabulous percussionist) . . . So, thank you for making me a little bit happier :)
This is as good as it gets!!
She is brilliant bass and vocals
She is a brilliant musician. Bass playing, singing and fronting a super tight band. Cool!
Brilliant ! This is when music had substance. Lord have mercy she's killing it on the bass. ❤🌺
That bass
line is one of the best ever.
You got that right partner! This song brings back great memories!
Damn straight
"When music had substance" translated to "I can't be bothered to look for good music anymore".
yeah but who had to wash those stockings? whew.
I 💕 the whole band...
But that Linda on the
lead 🎸 is out of this
🌍... Great 👌👍👏
Don't ever see stuff like this Fine Woman anymore
I was around 10 when this came out. I still think she's incredible 40+ years later.
Music in the 70’s is definitely better the crappy music they play today 2020. You can’t still for this , you got to get up and boggle 💞
i cannot tell you how I would love to have been part of that concert. One of the best disco tunes ever
She was simply amazing. WOW! What talent. Not many people have this level of pure talent. She did it all while killing it on the bass. vocals, playmanship and phrasing spot on. Worked the crowd while playing. How many people can do that?
Great points. Outstanding talented lady
Hard press to find this type of performance today.
She is a goddess of music.
And hoestly.
Totally hot
Quite a few, actually. Sting for one... but loads of performers who may have opted to hire someone else to play bass - often at the urging of record companies.
But yeah, she's really good.
This was the decade of dance! I loved it. The 70’s were a blast!
Pure talent and class.!
What a woman to play the bass, sing and dance all at the same time.!
Mark King (in the male section) was not that bad at this too - well maybe not for the dancing.
While wearing a beautiful dress and heels...whew! 8/7/2021
In high heels, no less!
Wow AND in high heels! Legend!
Awful dang nice 😁
That was completely amazing
Janice looks and sounds amazing. This is one of the best dance songs ever created. Several decades later this is still a favorite on the dance floor. 😃
What happened to melody like this in todays music? This tune always kicked it.
What an unreal performance. I loved it as I did 40 years ago on "Solid Gold."
It was in my college days when discotheques were everywhere in the 70’s. I still remember hitting multiple places on weekends and dancing till they closed at 2am.
Linda isn’t too bad either. Fabulous !!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Now now that's class and style they own the stage
Queen Janice! Killer bass line - the groove is incredible - and she’s singing while playing - this is the stuff of the gods - A Taste of Honey. A master class in musicianship. It doesn’t get any better than this.
And in heels... She badass
let us not forget still a looker ❤️
@@rolandoinductivo8013 20 years ago
Agreed 💃🏽🙏🏽🎸👏🏽
ARGUABLY the most popular song played on Ms Gilley's juke box along with "Ring My Bell" by Evelyn "Champagne" King. Boogey oogey oogey
Much respect, because its extremely hard to dance, sing and play without missing a beat!
FUNKY!!!!!!
Go Janice! Always with talent and class. Forever beautiful!
I love this group and I will forever love Disco 💃
Playing bass, singing and dancing on high heels! What a turn on! 😍😍😍
kss rider SHE STILL HAS IT. 100% RIGHT ON. JANICE.
Confirmed.
That lady's still has the goods
@ kss rider. AND, making it look easy!! I’ve been a bass player since 1973 and I know I can play the bass to this but definitely not while singing it and dancing like that. She simply kicks ass!! That’s right, She Bad!! She reminds me of Frieda Payne. Also Hot!!

I miss the days without the web. No naive comments, no sharp comments...etc. Just enjoying great and wonderful music. Greetings from La Paz-Bolivia.
I hear you brother. The anonymity of the web lets all sorts of nasty behavior spread across the world.
In the past people knew who was talking trash. And the assholes would be called out to prove their slander with their fists.
Homeboy dancing in audience brought down the house with that spinning disco move!!!!! DAMM!. Disco4U.
Alfredo Menavasquez : home boy dances like nobody is watching....
He gave twirl a new definition!

Homeboy was spinning like it was 78
Was that Ron Jeremy?

Still fine as hell and rocking the bass lines. 🤓
That drummer really kicks ass
Happy new year 2023 Taste of Honey! Boogie Forever!
Janice looks and sounds the same as in 1978. Incredible. One of my fave songs in pop/rock history. World Spin is another.
Man, that was amazing, everyone in the band
I love it!!!! Nothing like it on earth I promise!!!

Kids don't have a clue how much fun we had!
Saw them back in 1978. They're still great
The whole band is tight! Great musicians!
I could listened to that bass all night, she’s incredible.
Just a massive “CLASSIC DISCO SONG. Very positive words, special song of the 7O’, getting the tears glow then and now , over all these years.
Boogie it all, memories then and now - Just dance the whole night away until morning daylight.
Cool baby, good for the mind!!!
You're Spot on Right There! This still Mooves me after all these years. A true Classic and what a live Performance! 🎉
These chicks could sing and play instruments so good club jam😅❤
Damn!!!! She looks great and can still get down!! Impressive!!! Very Impressive!!! 👍👍👍
Extraordinary class. Music made for eternity. What devine talents, Janice Marie Johnson and Linda Taylor.

Damn! This woman is my rock and roll hero. I liked the song already but she just laid it down like no one's business
No doubt thee most underrated bassist ever. Please let's give her the credit she's long overdue. This is a bad ass bass line. Like disco or not, you can't deny she brings da funk!
She brings it from Funky Town.
Shes not underrated why do folks use the word underrated on TH-cam so darn much
1970's music 🎶 is way better than most of the garbage 2020's music 🎶.
✌️
Right
Amén to that, im from that generation....we had the groove..
For real fantastic
💯
I so miss these days! Nothing was better than dressing up, picking up your dressed to the nines date in a T-top Thunderbird or Cordoba for a night of dancing fun at the DISCOs in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando and Atlanta. The Lime Light, Tiffany's, Speak Easy, Xanadu's to name a few.
The crowd is having a good ole' time. Let's move on to the skating rink. Let's groove. Let the beat get you in the mood.
Just what I needed today, a groove back to some '70s vibeage!
RIP Ms. Suzanne "Minnie" Thomas You are, "You are a taste of honey." There will never be another like you...
I remember😢.
What a performance.Nice music disco mania.
Brings back a lot of memories of getting into the discos underage & always on the dance floor.
Always loved this bass line
