[@noniway8013]

Omg omg I remember this jam going to my first disco in the village haha. We danced so crazy and everybody enjoyed themselves. Nobody got hurt cussed out stomped,on shot in the head, it was Good Times🎶🎶🎶

[@armandoneujovics1743]

[@maajorkv]

I won a Dance Contest at a local Dance Bar (Cisco's - which has been gone for a long, long time, now) in Manhattan Beach, CA in the early-1970s. My partner & I, a fabulous female dancer, did The LACC Stomp to it. I love this song - the dance step & the beat of this song match-up, ideally!

[@tomsanders7243]

This was a huge CKLW hit. And I remember thinking, from the Detroit side of the border: those folks in Windsor really know how to get down :)

[@jeffreyparent2931]

Yes, The Big Eight. Crazy song, but it was popular!

[@susancalloway5807]

[@susanravey3749]

Fantastic

[@noniway8013]

Wow thank u. Didnt know there was a Pt. 2. This came out before disco. Lunar Funk was ahead of their time.

[@Tune-O-matic]

a long lost hidden radio memory from the early 70s

[@tjwhetstone475]

In the early 1970's, I was a drummer in a Top 40 band in the San Francisco Bay Area. We learned this song, and I'd get from behind my drums and sing the song, (if you can call it singing), and dance the penguin. Me and my long hair dancing what was actually much like the drum rudiment called a paradiddle. :)

Tight

[@sweetiepie1862]

This predates disco...just pure funk

[@Youbibaby]

Thank god for youtube and I thank you kindly for posting this.

[@1658iain]

I remember dancing to this - and buying the 7" vinyl song with the wonderful "Honky Tonk" by the God Father himself James Brown!

[@nancypryor4004]

The jam! It was big in Detroit. I remember doing the Penguin off of this. 😁

[@kevinkennedy7610]

Yes sir!. Just heard the guitar solo. That was Leroy Emmanuel with the Fabulous Counts. I KNOW that is Leroy playing guitar. I snuck in the Local 876 5 or 6 times just to watch him play ( and steal his licks!)

[@gizmodude6250]

Lol I had that 45 record when I was a kid in Detroit back in the late 70s

[@psalmpro27]

As did I. Good times!

[@robertogiugni6135]

ONLY 15 years....one of my first records played in my short DJ career....

[@vcv6560]

Summer 72, big hit on KGFJ-AM 1230 in Los Angeles. I spent my 50c/wk allowance for a copy. Thanks for posting BOTH sides of the 45.

[@zincfreud]

I remember this in '72 being played on Radio Luxembourg best funky guitarist I ever did hear.

Nice!

[@quieterrps]

@luckyluxful Appreciated! Have a great week bud!

[@hwyisalive]

Wasn’t Lunar Funk an unnamed group of Detroit area jazz and studio musicians just having fun?

[@hwyisalive]

Yep.

[@kevinkennedy7610]

I believe that was The Fabulous Counts with another name.

[@geraldthomas8241]
