When a 70s/80s Song Comes On 

I agree. It was a wonderful time to be alive.

And all that music. It was fantastic

the 70's was something special!

Yes, So did I!

OMG... I love you. '70s child here... I would give ANYTHING TO go back to black n' white parties where we all loved each other. ❤❤❤

Love this!

Awesome!

Agreed. It brings back great memories of Soul Train and great music/ moves. What happy days! Thanks for the awesome video!!!!

Yes they are and they’re hilarious I just love them🤣💕

They did...I was there😁

You're right . And no one remembers the 90's. lol

​@@powerofone1645 Except for the country music genre. The 90’s was the best era for country.

Fifties musicawesome also

💯

I love Kool and the gang!!

Your dad saw an angel when he saw Aretha Ms.Franklin... what a talent.

@@BuildTheFutureYouWant I have always been more than a little jealous of black hairstyles. I would absolutely love to have a fro or a flattop.

@@BuildTheFutureYouWant That makes a lot of sense. Still, the grass is always greener...

Hey-FYI,--- IT WILL NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE!!!!😊

Get your back up off the wall!

LOL!!! TRUE! God bless you! Peace, Lynne 🍃💜🍃

@@Icemario87 Perfect reply! LOL! God bless you! Peace, Lynne🍃💜🍃

I remember when I'd babysit my 4 year old niece we'd dance to that song. I doubt if she remembers that.

@@krane15 sad and sweet at the same time

critically lol, I love this comment.

That's where the funk levels are supposed to be.

"Criticality"....!! Word my brother.

So true, especially the 70's which people tend to forget gave us disco and rap, and songs were no longer 2 minutes and change like the 60's. The 70's music is universal, go to any wedding and the band if their is a band, take a break, here comes the 70's: Got to Be Real, Ring My Bell, etc. etc. etc.

@@bryanwiley5511 yessssss preach😂😂😂 I'm only 34 and I love all old music I'm a zapp Marvin Gaye otis Redding and them fan😂

So glad that the 60-80 were my growing into adult hood years... My generation was blessed to live through the best of music years of anyone’s lifetime ❤️

@@bebeautiful6613 yesssssss back when music was MUSIC😂❤

@@janetownley thank u😁

I agree but do not forget KC and the Sunshine Band either lol.

Ha ha yes

lol! Me too. And I was a white “girl” from the neighborhood! My friends used to tease me, “You dance like a dude!” My husband didn’t believe in breaking a sweat. He was too cool. Married 52 years. 🙏🏽

@@Abstracted_ I am a white girl too! Makes no difference to me. Kool and The Gang were amazing! Loved their dance music, smooth vocals, and upbeat rhythms. I was 23 when this song came out, and life was good! These two guys are so good kickin' it old school, with the looks and the moves. I love them!

​@@investigator77I highly doubt only black people listened to this.😊 But what do I know? I was born 1990 so I didn't even excist during this era.

@@Blue_Lugia Who said only black people listened to this? The 70's had disco, and this amazing blend of funk, R&B, Motown, Earth, Wind & Fire, Kool and The Gang, PLUS we had folk rock (James Taylor, The Eagles, America), hard rock (Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Rolling Stones). Everyone was being inspired by everyone else, and the clubs were hoppin' every weekend. It was a great time to be a teenager!

​@@investigator77 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯

Just seen that part I'm dead💀😂

True, it was the best part part next to the funk dance.

It finally makes sense to me. I've heard this song my entire life and suddenly the lightbulb is on. 🤔

Wall Flowers will always be. Remember school dances.

Old school songs always yellin at you to do somethin like damn can't i just dance at my own pace? 💀😂

The guy in the red is Hispanic

Hi I from Brooklyn too. Remember roller skating? Good old days.

That's AWESOME!!! ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER!!!

@@hazztv6317 Yes! My Mom when younger was on a roller derby team, so us kids loved skating.

That was in 1978!

Love that movie and the clothes and accents ! You must have had fun working there ! Kool and the gang rock on this video !

no seriously , it ended too fast!!! amazing job

@@bbybea787 Yes please! Make it longer!!!

Exactly, cause I just watched it 5 times back to back!😂😭😭😭💃🏾💃🏾

YASSS maybe 6 whatcha think one more hour

YES MA'AM YES MA'AM! ... THE ONLY WAY EYE CAN RELIVE IT IS THROUGH WATCHING THIS VIDEO AND ROLLING!😂🤣😅😂🤣😅😉

I totally understand what you mean. I played horn in a group of Detroit and we would hit places where you have the only white guy around but everybody just wanted music, hear them sounds and get down. That's what we need more of just everybody grooving together

Awesome stories both of yall. The white token guy "no offense" If you could play/sing you were welcomed. I do miss that about music these days if that's what you call it 🤔🤷😞 Sad but we will always have the Good Ole days😘💃💃💃🤗

I'm 73 but used to go to all black clubs occasionally, just so I could dance and listen to the music. It's funny how at first, people would pause for a moment, but when I'd start dancing with my black boyfriend everything always turned out fine.

I’m 28 and I sometimes wish I could go back in time to this era. When there’s music like this, it sounds like a party all the time!

@Jeff Lindeman I’ll bet you have some stories. Sounds like you had a blast! 😁

And boy did we dig it. We all knew we could.

Right on✊🏻

alla dat....lol

I promise you can still find plenty of music just like this all over you just can't depend on the mainstream for it. There's never been a better time to be a musician and have your music heard but people have to know where to look to find that out

😂😂😂😂😂hopefully, they seen and felt the VIBE going on, threw on something and made it into a 70s/80s block party😁😁😁

LOL... The Ssoooooouuull Train with Don Cornelius! Gosh, what a memory!! 😁😁😁

@@emmkaa2099 ikr...OMG!!! Dancing in front of our raggedy 📺 trying to learn dance moves and being impressed by Don Cornelius' voice and afro...😁😁

@@cheesygrits000 ...OMG back atcha! ...never did get those moves down. I could hardly keep up with American Bandstand! ...and Mr. Cornelius' huge almost aviator glasses! ...'member those too?

@@emmkaa2099😂😂Oh yeah!!! But somehow he was able to make it look fly as hell though. In many ways, Don was an iconic figure in the black communities. His positive influence and effect were mostly identified in his style, very good interviewing skills, professionalism, recognizing talent and giving those people a start on his show. If you weren't a lover of R&B/SOUL music/ Soul Train in the 70s and 80s, you missed a great time in history...JMO🤔

Well Gayle, I dance like no one is watching, and I have a blast. The people who see me, don't always know how to react. Such a shame. It is "so fun!"

@Gayle Trivitt. Same here!

The 70s were the one free decade we were ever granted. There was so much going on that decade. People could breathe. People could relax. When you look at the world how it is now - it's like comparing a dark ages to utopia. And the best part was that we didn't plan it, or try to contrive it. It just happened. It's like what people were capable of when they were just left alone, to follow natural instincts. It was ok. A little bit of respect. A little bit of style. A little bit of compassion. A little bit of love. A whole lot of human nature. And we didn't have an internet, we had 8-track. We didn't have smart/dumb phones, we had boom boxes. We didn't have social media, we had ten thousand clubs and every one was its own scene. We didn't have identity politics, we identified with real people who inspired us to be our best. We didn't have a 'gender spectrum' , we had unisex. We didn't have systemic racism, we had mixed race relationships, marriages, babies, cross-blended culture. We didn't have techno-pop, we had R&B, Soul, Funk, Rock 'n' Roll, Rock, Blues, Fusion, Reggae, and a thousand other mixes and matches that defined or defied categorization. We didn't have cancel culture, we had the courage of free and unfettered expression. I will always feel proud to have lived through and been shaped by this decade, that took me from my late teens to my late twenties. The music, the art, the literature, the film, the total output was like the blossoming of a renaissance. Modernity takes one quick glance at it and thinks it's just real weird clothes and bad hair. They don't know at all what moved up from down below. We had to survive the 50s, get through and then the hell out of the 60s, and have one decade of sweet respite before the ugly 80s showed up. Funny - I can't think of one defining moment in that decade. The whole decade defined itself for ten years. I think for a lot of us, half the decade moved through and was gone before we realized what we had. Like this glorious freeform performance art. Like it was okay to laugh out loud at all the stuck up people who just couldn't handle that kind of gift. Like it didn't matter how you moved. That wasn't really the point. The point was that you didn't have to ask permission to move. It was understood.

I miss the 70's and the 80's.

I feel like we ARE experiencing the 70s right now. mostly the bad parts... * sweats in gas shortage and inflation *

Economically it's getting pretty damn close right now.

You got that right!

I'm right here- just let me get my hip fixed and then we roll!!😜

@@janismacolley2395 Right, I still love to dance and want to, but it does a number on my neck injuries!

@@pueblodove I feel your pain - literally but it doesn't stop me from butt dancing at the red light!

@@janismacolley2395 same here!

I’m here! No injuries no excuses no shame let’s hit it

I swear i went back to that part like 10 times😂😂😂😂😂

OMG!!!! I love it!!! The moves, the look and nostalgia they created were OUTSTANDING!!!! Them some fly bruhthas!

The way he shook and put his glasses on 💀💀

Anyone can dance. You just get up and MOVE! ;). You don't have to be good at it. At long as it makes you FEEL good.

I cant dance for shit

I CAN throw. I just physically can't. Lol but my toes down here at the foot of bed doing the Freak

@@gdc6153 you could wiggle?

I wasn't bopping or dancing BUT I have this song on my Spotify for when I do GET DOWN ON IT and it's just the best.

Oh thank goodness i bopped phew!!!

get down on it

It was MJ

But, can you still dance? Lol.

@@lmc2375 oh I can still dance…but I don’t.

Aaaaahhh! "The chicks"

@@Flush75 yes back when chicks acted and dressed like chicks.

@@alexblaze8878 where they yellow, coverd in feathers and did they peep alot

The words are...”get your back up off the wall” (meaning don’t just stand there, get out on the dance floor). I sure agree with what you said that it is so entertaining (and I wish I could move like these guys👍👍😄)

Right! every time I see that I just hoot with laughter!!! the timing is so perfect.

Yup and it's not just the US.

Yeah! Not as much fun. Let’s change it what do we have to do? Down with politics that’s a start. Ya never ask anyone if they are a Democrat or Republican when you’re asking them to dance.

Thank you for your service 🙂🙏🏻

Wish it was 10 minutes...

I love these two men's humor, dancing moves and the love of the music and era that they exude. Would live to see them with their own show. Well I guess that's already happened...

All they needed was those UGLY platform shoes! I suppose they just don’t make those anymore!

@@LastForeverUno Wym by created

@@AC-mp7cx Black people created blues. Black people created jazz. Black people created R&B (the distinction from traditional blues is worth categorizing.) A black woman created rock and roll (and was the writer of Hound Dog stolen and popularized by Elvis.) Another Black woman crated grunge. Black people created Funk. Black people created Soul. While Black people maybe can't claim the creation of "pop" music in its infancy no one in thier right mind can pretend it wasn't definitively shaped by Black people (or white people riding the coattails of Black culture.) Black people of course also created rap and hip hop which is currently being gentrified by way of only promoting Black artists/an image of Black people that is a marketable stereotype while only allowing the air time for deeper more thought provoking and emotional lyrics to white rappers. There's even certain schools of thought that country music was created by Black Mexican and Indigenous field workers who were the actual cow"boys" but I haven't seen a whole lot on that front. So basically Black people created American music. Or at least all the fun ones. We know most of these things because the first accounts we have of anyone doing it were of Black people. And because Black people were ostracized naturally anything that was brought into the forefront of polite (see: white) society would be looked at with a level of distain. White people Did Not want to touch anything Black people did (both metaphorically and literally) so that's why you generally wouldn't have white people claiming to have created something everyone knew was Black. (Up until someone did and then white people proceeded to push Black people out of spaces that they created. But everyone still remembers who did it first and did it best.) Have a good day.

@@LastForeverUno saying she don't like something is her prerogative , I cant stand rap either nor can i take speed metal or corn pone dumb ass country , Some people need grove , soul and spirit in there music ,, its medicinal . some forms of music have more of that than others . The best music to EVER be made was made by black people in his country ,,and many wd agree its not happening today , in the 90s radio was deregulated and corporations now own all the waves . I know black professional musicians that work on rap records ,, big names you know ,,,but they don't listen to wrap "i go in , make it sell and I'm out ",,they are jazz and rock musicians . Earth wind and fire , prince . the brothers jhonson made you high without drugs and it had hope in the grove . I could fill a whole page of black acts you probably have never heard of . Black people made amazing music and it mixed with amazing music white people made and guess who put it all together ,,,THE BEATLES ,,, they seem to be aging well , Some people are wired in a way that makes different music suit them , if you love rap thats cool , others may not and thats cool to .. rock and roll is a fusion of black roots music and celtic roots music and the british grabbed it and reconquered the world again for a brief moment .

@@OBNOXIOUSBLA13 your missing half the picture and not correct on a few points and might have a bit of hate cooking , do you play an instrument ? there was a fusion that took place and that was rock and roll ,, iwd agree that the last great style of music was funk rand b , grunge and rap jut don't have the lift , and who did it best thats debatable , there are seriously amazing musicians of all shades that are woven together in music, the best white music and black music of the early days turned into the beatles and many more ,,, if yer really not music watch Muscle Shoals or The wrecking Crew , goes behind some of the best music ever made
