It brings me back to NYC in 1980 and I can remember what I was doing then, walking around The Village and Soho before they were bougie, me on qualuudes in the afternoon, going to the Garage at night dancing to this, oh wow. I want them to play this at my funeral, I have always said this. This is the best dance song ever, just listen to the arrangement

This song reminds me to always live your best life. Roll with the gifts that God has given you whether that be a spouse, a child, a friend, a talent, a school, a job... Just embrace them and always be positive and allow that narrow road of life to open up for you. "Don't you like it? Don't you like it?" Yeah, then say "Let's do it. Let's do it. There's nothing to it. We gonna make this love get started, take this love within my heart, put my loving where you are."

I was a baby when this record was released. Now you may wonder how in the hell does he know about this song. Well my brother is 12 years older than me and this was his era. He was a DJ back in the 80s. My mother was always hip and kept current on music. I grew up hearing this music being played everyday by them. I'm from a city that loved Disco and is the birthplace of House music so these kind songs were always in rotation. Also songs back then had a longer life span. Anybody who was a teenager or an adult then I'm so jealous because you all had the best generation, best parties and best music then. Leroy Burgess was the best musician, producer and composer back then!

I'm 56 and remember all these songs from back in the 80s. I remember having the 12 and 331/3 inch records and my turntable; which folks are buying today. Brought my daughter up on this music and she is 36 now. I play it for my 2 year old grandson and he just dances his little head off. I loved the 80s music and the era. There will truly never be another. They may try to duplicate but will never recreate the good old golden era of the 80s.I also liked that people had their own style unlike today where everyone looks and acts the same and all want to be famous. I get these celebrity women confused because they all look like the same person; shame on plastic surgeons.

Slammin' from 35 years ago (1980) disco was hitting the scene strong & hard, I heard this on WBLS NYC days of Frankie Crocker (DJ Extrodinare). This jam blew me away. Summer nights dancing at Bonds, Studio 54, Club 92, The Paladium, Chicagos, Red Parrot on the West Side of Manhattan, Paco Raban cologne, Chams de Baron shirts, Capeziio shoes, honeys with big hair, lips red or purple from lipstick, high heels smellin' good & dancing great, Girls in Spandex I know some of you are out there...this jammy brings it all back and afterwards the Diner or Franks Luncheonette on Canal st. Listening to this, closing my eyes, brings it all back....aaaahhhh yeeeaaa Peace 2 ya who remember

John923T You got all my memories, I still got my card from The Garage, remember Bonds climbing that ladder to the roof, '54 I went the first time in 1977, I was a kid working at Alexander's and they had a party there, and I kept going back after that. And WHO the hell would remember Red Parrot on West 57th Street but you and me?

+John923T you said: Girls in Spandex I know some of you are out there. ---- I was one of those spandex girls; DANSKIN GIRL IN THE HOUSE!! Deep dip in the front, back out; flowing skirt in all colors!! Yes, honey. We were sexy, we were fly and danced our butts off in our dancing outfits and high heels. It was the time of our lives, if you're in the 50 and up crew! That time can never be duplicated, but I'm so glad I milked all the fun out of it I could. Thanks for the memories. I enjoyed reading your post!!

+John923T Brother, we was in all them same places at the same exact time, perhaps we met, or maybe we didn't, we were just side by side at the bar ordering drinks, and rocking on the floor, man I remember every single place you mentioned! Thanks for bringing me back. But you forgot to mention Paradise Garage!

Great Jam 1981 19 years old stationed in Germany, my roommate who was from Brooklyn used to get all the cuts from WBLS & KISS FM . We would spend hours debating which station jammed the hardest, longest. My roommate had his cousin make a mix tape just for me this was on the tape along with Firefly "Love Is Gonna Be on Your Side". Awesome times!

+john pratt Yeah man , Firefly's love is gonna be on ur side , one of my all time favourites , big jam , classic status . It was a white guy who sang it , and he also was singing for a group called the Armed Gang.

DJ'd a party Christmas 1980. This is the song that made me realize, it was time to leave a bad 5 yr relationship. I enlisted in the military and got hell outta town. Saying goodbye to my ex Charles Motley and that third wheel, in the love triangle, Rodney Harding. What a mess! Went off and saw the world, no regrets! Like Conversion said, Let's Do It!!! So I did!!! 😊

Nile Rogers mentioned the “ gang vocals” on which everyone sang in unison. Luther Vandross used the technique in the group Change in the early 80’s.

This has always been my fave dance song. When I was 19 growing up in NYC, it reminds me of going to clubs in soho, like the garage, or just walking around the streets in soho during the day when I was high on quaaludes, a young gay guy trying to find my way, and I would walk around the piers in soho trying to pick uk up up truckers and not having much luck and feeling like I was a loser. but this song would always pick me up! now I'm 59, am married to a wonderful guy, and I still want this played for me me when I am on my deathbed, so I can remember I had a beautiful life, and loved great dance music! and go out shaking my scraggly ass as I lay on the bed. And I think that is a beautiful thing!

Simply sensuous, sexy, groovy, and most importantly soulful disco. This song was one of Leroy Burgess' finest. It epitomizes the free-loving spirit of music that organically moves the soul. There really are no words...

I did a radio show (and was program director) at a small liberal arts college in Florida that featured garage/downtown-underground boogie/post punk/dub reggae/early hip hop 1980-81. Included a lot of the Sam, Prelude, salsoul, cotilion, brunswick as well as off label stuff (uno melodica, rhissa chrissa, etc.) and lesser known smaller disco funk grooves. Turned the locals onto some great NYC shit.
