[@janath9118]

shyman99 Usually they don't record album versions of songs on these music programmes because they are long. They always select the shorter single versions so that they can add in more songs to any one programme and also to make programmes look equal and unifrom. I think this is the reason.

[@mowerdan8133]

This came out in 1979 during height of Disco Movement. By 1980 there was a huge Disco hatred & backlash. This song managed to squeeze through & roll into very early 1980.

[@janath9118]

mowerdan8133 Can you please tell how this Disco hatred and backlash happened?

[@mowerdan8133]

@@janath9118 After Saturday Night Fever movie/soundtrack success in '77, tons of Disco songs were coming out and dominating radio markets. Rockers, Punkers, etc hated the over-saturation. A Disco sucks movement & overall hatred developed. It peaked in summer '79. By early 1980, Disco went way under the radar. It became a bad word. Radio stations started to play much less, producers weren't making much anymore, discos were closing or changing over to New Wave or some other type business. Also late 1979 is when Studio 54 got busted for drugs & tax evasion. They shut it down in late '79. That club helped fuel the whole industry. So Disco went down with it, lol. A few "Disco" type songs made it through into 1980. Generic dance music slowly came into style by the mid-80s, using similar synths & drum machines as Disco used.

[@janath9118]

@@mowerdan8133 Sorry about the delay to respond. I read and noted everything that you mentioned about the big backlash of disco music which occurred at late 70's. I know that music always keep changing the styles but I was not aware of all these facts you mentioned herein, because I am a man living in South Asia and all the detailed news about music do not arrive here in those days. I like Pop, rock, jazz, reggae, instrumentals etc. but I wish that disco music lasted longer than this. That was the time when I was very young and energetic. Thank you very much for your very good explanation! I appreciate it.

1980 was one of hottest years on record in Texas & other states. We had 100 days of 100+ degree heat with high of 113. I was living in a ghetto apt in Oak Cliff where the entire complex had no a/c. The complex was directly behind a Burger King. That created even more heat. Somehow we survived. I was 10. K104 blasted the song, other songs from Gap Band / Burn Rubber & Kool & the Gang. It's amazing what music can help you get through some shitty situations.
