You just can't beat the music from the 70s and 80s no matter how you try.

Ya know... sometimes seeing the video to one of your favorite songs as a kid...ruins it. This is one of those you're better off just hearing and not seeing.

The original version was by Eddie Floyd and released in '66 on the Stax label. Amii's '79 version was a mega-disco hit and was in every DJ's rotation at clubs and roller rinks here in SoCal back then, a true disco classic. Thanks for showing the disco era some love guys, your channel is great! ☮️

You can't beat Eddie Floyd on this song...one of my favorites of all time. This is good and I have disco danced to this many times, but original hands down! You should make sure you listen to Eddie Floyd!

I was surprised when I heard the original 60s version for the first time, it is a really groovy track. Now I want to recreate that "Dancer in front of Feedback Projection Screen" visuals. I was looking for an idea for a project, and now I have a target. :)

I love this song, it was such a great song to dance to. We had so many great disco songs, you should check out Thelma Houston's "Dont Leave Me This Way." You can also check out "You and I", Rick James.

1979. I was twelve or eleven. I remember hearing the song on Casey Kasem's Top 40 countdown. Yes, one hit wonder, but one hit is better than no hits. "Knock On Wood" was written by Eddie Floyd and Steve Cropper during a thunderstorm in 1966. Memphis soul music at its finest. The original is playlist for me. At any rate, for more Disco, check out some of these genre defining tunes -- "Le Freak" by Chic, "The Groove Line" by Heatwave, "Disco Inferno" by The Trammps, "That's the Way (I Like It)" by KC & The Sunshine Band, "Ring My Bell" by Anita Ward, "Shake Your Groove Thing" by Peaches & Herb, "Got to Be Real" by Cheryl Lynn, "Best of My Love" by The Emotions, "Car Wash" by Rose Royce, "Rock the Boat" by The Hues Corporation, "The Hustle" by Van McCoy, "Boogie Fever" by The Sylvers, "Turn the Beat Around" by Vicki Sue Robinson, and "I Love The Nightlife" by Alicia Bridges. Some of those songs hold up quite well, and that list is mostly complete, but it seems a shame not to include Earth, Wind & Fire, The Spinners, and The O'Jays because they were dropping diamonds back then, but they weren't Disco.

@lisar3944 7 ай бұрын

I'm so surprised this wasn't more firmly on your radar - freaking classic disco hit! Better though, is that it stands the test of time and I can still dig it now. It's among my faves from that time. On the topic of disco: please cover the BeeGees - their grooviest hit imo is "Jive Talkin'" though the video for that is pretty meh. The video for "Stayin' Alive" is worth a watch as it's so...well let's just say: the pants...I can't. I just can't. More disco please :)

Great song. For a similar vibe from around the same time you could look at/listen to the group Boney M. Or if you want to see another solo female singer/dancer of that era with a totally different sound - Kate Bush, especially her song Wuthering Heights.

Try some music by YES one of the greatest progressive rock groups of all time. You haven't reacted to them at all. Some good ones include "Roundabout", "Close to the Edge", "The Gates of Delirium". "Awaken", "Turn of the Century"... Loads of good ones.
