I was there, the year it came out!. The African Queen album came out in the summer of '77 or '78. It was a BIG ASS HIT! I HEARD IT THE WEEKEND IT CAME OUT. Me and friends were at a teenage disco in HOLLYWOOD called GINO'S. The disco was a young racially mix club. African Queens was a big hit at all the summer parties that year! Brings back memories of my youth! We won't hear this kinda of music again, well house is a cute replacement. For those of you who missed it! All I can say is " you should have been there. It was so exciting to be that young with this music! 🙂!

[@endtimeswriter]

Heard of Ginos back then but I usually went to Westwood "Dillons". They stamped your hand if you were under 21 so you could not buy booze.

[@jamescon8513]

I went to the Odyssey, open until 4 am, but no alcohol

[@rsmith7912]

I'm totally with you on your exhilarating comment Orlando. Coming from London in '77, I was 17 & living the energetic disco years to the full. I got a job in a record shop in London's West End & would sometimes blare this out in the shop. Voodoo!!!

[@mariosacco8822]

One of the best arrangements ever in an Orchestral-Disco track, and beautifully sang too. A blend of sensuality and exotica, an incomparable tour de force.

[@ruelnicholas8317]

brings me to tears...sweeping 😢

[@frankmarin5981]

Great jam!!! 🎼🎶 Disco lives on..🎭💃🕺😎

[@hectorhuenchunir1787]

This is awesome. I've always been one of their fans. At that time I was a child and fond of almost everything from Africa. So I was more than happy to listen to this song. I still love their songs.

[@anthonylong1979]

The WBLS Radio DJ The Late Frankie Crocker made this song very popular.

[@glorianucci8409]

Musica meravigliosa. Per fortuna l'ho trovata su KZbin! Comunque io l'ho vissuta e ballata al suo tempo. Avevo 18 anni .. Ortisei val gardena discoteca l' chiamin . Bei ricordi e poi a bologna nella mia grande taverna gli stereo otto ballati con gli amici. Indimenticabile.

[@jefferybush2220]

I always liked this group, they always had some theme going.

[@darqueve2958]

I remember dancing the night away to these beautiful melodies. When couples held each other as they danced. This is what made you fall in love.

[@drewsmusical]

I love the Ritchie Family everything they did was pure fabulous disco their remakes and big band sounds epitomizes early disco and enamored older generations of people to enjoy Disco too remembering songs they enjoyed when they were young too

[@rsmith7912]

Well said drewsmusical. I'm lucky to have experienced those magical years too.

[@ErickEscobar-w3p]

Bella música ojalá surgieran grupos como esos❤❤❤❤❤

[@cor2ssb-k4c]

Still gives me goosebumps, since 1977! One of the best jams for sexy-soulful hustle! Used to mix (extend) the first 5 minutes (before Voodoo) at least 3 times at gigs. Awesome album cover! On so many levels, the garbage that's produced these days can't touch this vintage stuff.

[@adrianharies9849]

This was a #1 hit on the billboard's disco chart in 1977.

[@leroyedwards8298]

My early teen years at JHS 45 Spanish Harlem I remember when this came out during the ending of the school

[@wowdad3055]

Boom boxes in the park.

[@orlandocordova8818]

You're so right! It came out right before the summer sessions/ parties! It was a big ass hit at all the summer parties! I remember the night it had it's debut! On a Friday night right as school was ending, me and my went discoing/ clubbing and we heard this and SCREAMED! BY THE NEXT WEEK WE ALL HAD A COPY! A PROMOTIONAL COPY!

Dignos representantes e impulsores de la maravillosa música DISCO de los 70-80's. En el 2021 la escucho y hay buenísimas y nuevas sensaciones esta música tenía magia. Saludos dsd Mixco Guatemala centro América. ATN. Byron Méndez.

Fantastic execution of Disco Music. My Music Era of the 70's best of all. Can someone out there tell me where can I get a copy of this Vinyl Recordings please??

[@Spanishdog17]

I found this album in a bargain bin at a book store for $5. I think it's rare but inexpensive.

[@orlandocordova8818]

Dude, I agree with you! I was there in the 70's. This music is My OLDIES! IF YOU LIVE IN L A AREA AND IF THERE STILL THERE ON MELROSE AVE. THERE WAS A FEW OLD RECORD STORES THAT HAD ALL KINDS OF MUSIC OR TRY ONLINE! ANYWAY! HOPE YOU CAN FINE IT! 🤗

[@fireems6231]

I got a chance to see this done live--by an excellent cover band---great horns and percussion

Yes! What a great club! Bobby Eikenwiler the DJ there! What a great club! I can just hear Grace Jones "That's the Trouble"! Which he also played around that time.9

[@Christianpreaching]

this song reminds me of a Salsoul orchestra song

[@Harrisonianne]

I think salsoul orchestra sampled "Quiet Village" on one track I think it's nightcrawler

This song is originally by the les Baxter orchestra

[@strangeinvisible2012]

loveliness!!!

[@AuntieSoul34]

Hey em! You addicted to this too!!?? :p

[@rsmith7912]

Some orchestra somewhere could make a wonderful show using the music from the Ritchie Families albums. The second half could be dedicated to the Village People who had the same arrangements but with the male vocals instead. I'd go!!
