Heatwave - Boogie Nights (1977) 

Does anyone else feel sad that this era is gone?

That white guy on the keyboard was a genius, he did all the music for Heatwave and also tunes for Michael Jackson- Off The Wall and Thriller... Rest In Heaven Mr. Rodney Rod Temperton, you did great....

Wow! My childhood. No school shootings, no mall shootings, and no social media. Just people meeting in person and having a good house party with no shootings.

I was 22 yo and I went to the belgian coast by motorcycle with friends - entering in a disco and hearing it for the first time - a real dicovery - I will never forget it - in my mind, belgian coast = heatwave

Heatwave didnt want this used in the movie Boogie Nights due to its subject matter. Principle over payday. I respect that.

It was a wonderful time to live. Dancing in the discos to talented artists. They are all dying and our world is as well. I have few regrets.

Who didn't dance to this back in the day? I know i could never resist

My man Rod Temperton on keyboards! Legend!

Rod Temperton wrote "Rock with you". Enough for me. And this tune is excellent.

Im 72. Im a Canadian. I was going to the disco at the time and danced until the lights went off. Today im glad i lived my youth fully.

That intro is one for the ages.

I love HEATWAVE, still listening to their music in January 2024🤎🎶❤️

The gr8 genius of Rod Temperton❤

I played in a disco /rock / funk / jazz band back in the late 70's into the 80's and this was one of my favorite songs from our set lists. This was back 5 and 6 night a weeks gigs were common and you'd get a lot of people commin' in the clubs. Life was great before all this distractions of today's world keeping people at home. No face book back then.......no video games.....instead, people were going on and getting together. Yeah, I miss it.

1977 I was 21, Honorably Discharged from 4 years in the Marines, starting my civilian life. A great time in the world

Got to keep on DancingGot to keep on Dancing 💃💃💃

Great music,Great group,so glad I got to go to Discos in the 70’s and early 80’s

I feel much better now having listened to this. Been a long time.

All joking aside, there were some legit geniuses in this band. RIP Rod and the Wilder Brothers

What a great band. Still one of my favorites. RIP Rod Temperton, Johnny and Keith Wilder and Ernest "Bilbo" Berger.

Johnnie Wilder and Rod Temperton - dreadfully missed but no doubt grooving in a much better place than here - with MJ, Marvin, Luther, Teddy and so many more ... 💔

Dam, I need a time machine to take me back. Who, wants to join me.

66 year old white Hippie Loved this

Top British band that especially cracked it in America with this one ....

One of the great intros... Masterpiece of disco 😎👍

Heatwave rolled through in 1977 amazing period of music

Wow rod temperton wrote songs that absolutely nailed the seventies,

Disco at its purist. A great band from a never to return to era.

I met the source of Boogie Good luck to you who are sublime !

These pasts came too early. A golden era, whose future lives in our memories.

This still sounds so fresh and energetic; sign of a classic.

Man we use to dance to this jam at the clubs in LA.. those were some really good times when everyone was waiting to get off work on Friday and party at the clubs on Saturday nights, Boogie Nights was always a club favorite.. then the DJ would play a slow jam for all the lovers in the club, "Always and Forever".. I miss those good old times in LA.

I can hear Some MJ sonic landscapes Rod Tenperton was a legend Off the Wall song RIP 🎉🎉🎉

dancing to this at the BBC disco in Chicago, great memories

Just think we will never have time like 1977. Loved the music from my high school years.

Rod Temperton was a genius !!

My brother had this album. I used to get in trouble for listening to it when he wasn’t home. 😂😂

REMEMBERING KEITH WILDER HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN PARADISE (December 20, 1951 - October 29, 2017) [1/20/2021]

I'm a NY 70s baby 1970 and this track mostly takes me back to that feeling of being a lil kid again in the 70s, this style music captured me ever since very young, I can still feel that pain towards the ending, boogie nights in NY

I still live in this era as far as the music isconcerned

The intro to this song epitomizes the entire disco scene of shiny disco balls spinning over lighted dancefloors. The voices fading in over the harps reminds me as if I've just stepped into a heavenly boogie wonderland.

Absolutely beautiful.

Oh yes, it was fun to be dancing when Boogie Nights was spinning on the DJ’s turntable.

Finally in the deserved quality for this masterpiece. A timeless dance hymn

Hell Yeah!!!! I partyed to this music 🎵🎶🎶🎼 takes me back!!!! I'm 70 still Rock n Roll!!! But not as fast,Ha!! Great Era!!!!

I lived that era! Nothing was more struggling, more exciting!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Johnnie James Wilder Jr. July 3rd, 2023 would have been your 74th-years young! Missing your beautiful music.

The summer of 1977... Riverside CA ... Could anyone transport me back to this time ?......I will behave , I promise

This song is and was guaranteed to get everyone up and doing their thing on the dancefloor! 🎉❤

One of the beautiful things about the 70 is that it didn't matter what color are you were... You had white funk bands you had black rock bands you had integrated funk bands and integrated rock bands and they all put out just remarkably awesome music... until the 80s hit, then the eugenic machine spun up. This was funky then, it's still funky today... Back then, you actually had to play.

This song was HUGE! I was a little kid but disco was everywhere and Heatwave was named well. This was the bomb 45 years ago.

Rod Temperton was a genius.

1991, I successfully landed a back flip on roller skates skating to this song. I got thrown our for it but it was worth it. This was such a hit in the skating rinks back in the day!

Fine music of the days gone bye. RIP to Rod Temperton and other members of the group who have passed on.

I am grateful I was a kid in that era because our dance parties were phenomenal. RIP to the great one.

At around 2:36 the arrangement just does something to my brain - it's dreamy and I don't ever get tired of hearing the part of the song.

What intense memories this song brings. OMG!

Loved this song the very first time I heard it, still love it today.

Temperton was a true visionary in pop music and Disco, when you see him on the Piano he almost looks like an accountant who is getting his wish come true, nope he is actually one of the greatest musicians and lyricists of that era.

This is the most 1977 thing I have ever heard or seen, and I actually remember 1977.

Omg I love this record.

Boogie Nights is awesome song😊. I danced to it every chance I got I still do 💕 love Heatwave.❤

I first heard this in an after-hours club in the meat-packing district of NYC. It floored me then. It floors me now. One of the absolute best of that era of music. It still sounds fresh and wonderful today. I'm up and dancing!

1977 I was 14 = this turned me on to disco/funk - a lifelong love

This song is true classic I love this song..im 27 I'm still listening to it

Yes I'm sad it's gone. It was the best n still is. Bring it back !!👍

Heatwave had a mixture of a rock, funk, r & b and disco sound.

Just love the '70s ! Great fabulous era 😍🥰💜🌷🙏

Heatwave will always be my band such classic these ultra talented dudes performed

They were a awesome group! They definitely brought back some cool memories! 👍😀

I never Feel Sad cuz You Got Boogie Nights,nah,aint no doubt!Dont Ovuh Think ,nah!Just the Best of Times!

August 2023. I remember this song when I was a young boy. This is 1 of my favorite songs from the disco era. I love the keyboards. AWESOME. This song is living proof that blacks and whites can live together in peace and harmony. Let this song be a shining beacon for the whole world to see.

this and Groove Line are two of my absolute favorites of the era and genre.

Winter 1977. Me and my crew cruising Queens Village on a Saturday night in my 68 GP. Vinny Santaniello, Joe Peretti, Anthony Del Rio! Joe Peretti! YO! Boogie Nights! Turn it up! Anthony! RIP guys! We'll be cruising up there some day! Makes ya feel funky!

Good old days , I was 18 years old then, I remember my teen years , the feeling was amazing, the music , it was a fantastic time back then.

This song and video couldn’t be more 70’s if it tried.

um this song is fucking sick as hell, I love it.

Old, school jam back in the day still 🔥 still banging this song 100% !!!

Oh what a gift to have been in the misted of this era! My first year of high school. Basement parties. Teenage discos with no alcohol served. All dressed up in gaberdine slacks and jazz shoes. We were gentlemen even when we were being rascals..lol. Those were the days...

This is a real Vibe¡¡¡Rod Temperton and friends¡¡¡

This was during a happy time when things were so happy and you didn't feel threatened going to a çlub, the mall, to school but now the world that we have known has turned into a Devils playground ! I love to put these great songs on and in my mind go back to the way things were when I grew up. I graduated in 1979 and things have gotten so bad And I think about some of our classmates that passed away when they were very young. They would be shocked to see how everything going on in the world has changed ! Sometimes I like to revisit the past when I was young and did not know how good I really had it!!

Had this on vinyl!!! I was 11 yes old and it was a hit!!!

" Boogie Nights " by Heatwave is one of the songs that I remembered the tune and lyrics well for a long time, but I didn't know the song title and performer. I also learned that Rod Temperton has provided music for many artists, so I hope that more people around the world will know about this song and the existence of Heatwave!

Such a good era short lived

great music will always be around

Phenomenal and infinitely "ICONIC!"

The perfect song to test out 1977 high end stereo and speaker setups. Unfortunately, subwoofers were not a thing yet. My neighbors knew this song against their will - definitely when their bottles started falling off the shelf. .

I keep coming back to this boogie to recharge my soul

Keyboard player WROTE "Thriller," "Rock with You," "Give Me the Night," and "Baby, Come to Me," and a lot of other hits. Thriller.

Every year in San Diego around February they have a concert where they invite a bunch of old school oldies groups. Got to see them this year honestly one of the best concerts.

I NEVER STOP DANCING. BARS! 😀😀

This brings back memories of my mobile home factory days in the late 70s they would play disco stations over the intercom. I wasn't a big fan of disco but it was good for fast paced production work.

This era is gone but I listen to this type of music everyday Chic,EWF,Gal band,Herb Alpert and so many others I lot this music 🎶❤️

THIS IS LIKE A GOOD DISCO SONG ❤️ LOVE IT. 😀😀

It's right up to date Rockwell ❤ love from coop Pete ❤

Love this Group I missed them a lot

Holy fucking shit! This is on another level... my goodness I'm just now hearing this. I soon as I heard that guitar on a Instagram post I had go look up the song.

Those Were Magical Days.

I also feel sad..this was the best Era in music..We had such a good time..Going out and dancing..just having fun..😢😢❤❤

Of course I myself miss the seventies too. Disco, glam flamboyant beautiful people, bisexuality, the music really got into your soul. Yes I miss this era so much! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
