[@metrojuan2000]

I am 61 and not afraid to say it............... We had the Best Music, Disco Music the 70's Golden Era!! and was in my teens in 1972 what a wonderful time people!!

[@spydamusic]

I'm nearly 60 and agree with you and the others who say that we had the best of disco start to end. The new disco music's got something missing and that's EXCITEMENT for one thing, it all seems so flat and soulless.

[@faustomunoz2694]

Will I agreed with You guys Im 54years old I am deported I used to live un the lower east side when used to have real Disco Music

[@SuperHugobox]

Juan Martinez I totally agree.

When you’re in your 60s and still loving the music of your teenage years. What a vibe! I remember every song. It’s a blessing for sure!!! What a warmup for dem 80s. #foreveryoung

[@NicoleGrignon]

This was music this group was so good and to re-group all the best songs of the 70's in one song was a true Masterpiece those were the good old days I would go back anytime ..We had the Best Music the 70's were the best....miss those days like crazy, luckily we have people who post this great music Thank You to All of You

[@davidrover62]

What a crackin' band. I'm 56 and remember this era with awe!!!!! I still have this single in my collection.

[@lindamcgorman5850]

disco was the best dance music ever! I'm 64 and I remember dancing every night to this music. lady bump, soul city walking, the tramps, etc. brings back so many great memories

[@juliodiaz3879]

Love soul city walking!

[@anthonybarlow9132]

Yes Sir , very fond memories of the summer of 76, we thought those days would never end..... ( but they did ) sigh .

[@johnvalencia9927]

Yeah, when you think 1973ish to 1976 being the years that produced such genius-level classics, it wasn't much time at all.

[@johnvalencia9927]

I believe time is an illusion. If someone wanted to fire up vintage multi track tape machines and produce this kind of music it could absolutely be done. It might be a commercial waste of time but who cares? I think the hardest part of recording this songs is that deep talking man who says "that's the way I like it". WHAT a voice!

[@mrob75]

This is what people who are now in their 60s listened to as teenagers…I know I did….This has the summer of 1976 ALL OVER IT! I first heard this playing on the boardwalk in Coney Island….People were dancing to it like crazy! I ran out and bought the album in Manhattan at a place called: “Downstairs Records”.

[@rickylockbkindloveanimals]

This will always remind me of my teens in 79 and 80 going to spain 🇪🇸 ♥ where I had the most magical times listening to gentle feelgood songs like this in the discotheques and meeting the most fantastic people and sweet gorgeous friendly girls and wonderful places to visit........seriously cannot believe I'm 60 this year !!....I'll tell u people life goes incredibly quick so make the most of it !!.....God bless b kind to each other ❤ love animals ❤ and yourself ❤

Disco rules 70s the best era for all Music especially Rock and roll n Disco Soul The Philly sound awesome

[@Ugolin13]

J'avais 17 ans en 1976 lorsque je suis entré pour la première fois dans une discothèque au son de Ritchie Family...odeurs de cigarette, d'alcool...jolies filles...j'étais fasciné...je découvrais le monde de la nuit ! Nostalgie.

[@brunocdt2765]

J'en avais 14 an 1976 mais j'ai souvenir des soirées entre copains copines dans lesquelles on passait ce tube ! On a vécu le meilleur de la musique.

[@martyemmons9956]

They moved through ALL those songs so easily. The DJ never had to mix anything. Truly the best song to dance to.

[@bobbydapkus1644]

What a great classic. The short version was the most played so people think the long version is just parts being repeated, WRONG!! Back than all discs ran from 8:00 to 15:00, us DJs loved it especially on the radio when it gave us time to smoke one up lol. This is a very cleaver song, taking bits and pieces from other major hits. One of my all time favorites and a big smash in Boston back than and always great to hear because it just puts you in a great mood!!

[@leogamit9957]

I was 14 then and until now I really love disco music , damn, if I could only turn back the hands of time! am now 56 and still these music and songs!

[@johnnypoker46]

Definitely one of the best disco songs ever, in town or anywhere else

[@sharonmartin1522]

Oh just to have one day back in this era when music was fun and people seemed happier too,such a great feel good song 😊😊😊

[@rafaelfernandez8713]

What a time to be young & free, I know because I still have all my disco LP's. And yes I have this one by the Richie family & this was the time to be young & old everyone can dance to this.

[@tammybrinklee2505]

Rafael Fernandez Wow you do?

[@randybarnett2308]

Rafael Fernandez ,how would you like to hear the William Shatner version of this song ?😎😎😎

[@HRHolm-bi6zu]

Disco era of mid-late 70s was certainly unique; I was in the military service for most of it, and the music naturally connects with that time, fondly. This tune sort of ties it all together, in spirit. Too bad it didn't come out a year or so later, it could have included more examples of the genre.

[@milfman49]

With music like this, there existed no obesity from 1975-79.

[@adriennerobinson1180]

Truth AMEN

[@TSlREYA]

nobody was fat in the 70s because all they did was cocaine and dance to 10+ minute songs

[@NightBear01]

LOL ... you missed "Two Tons of Fun" (AKA The Weather Girls)

[@bradleypaulus5305]

I never realized it at the time, but it was rare to see any obese people in the discos. You are so correct!

Where did we get the energy? I personally rode my bike everywhere except weekends when we always were in Manhattan discos . Also worked a full week

Magnificent pop disco time capsule record by the Ritchie Family (various). This disco group never did disappoint, from Brazil to their final finale, Gimme a Break used in the Village People movie. Loved the femme disco calls, takes, and improvs. Even played this on Soul Train. Great tempo, great novelty disco compilation. Thanks much, Ritchie Family. Vive les disco freaks...

[@ilovecoffee6318]

I love disco music so much. I was a very young child when most of these songs came out and a lot of them I just heard on the radio once or twice. But I have bought a lot of compilation albums and fell in love with this era. Such great music.

[@chrismaynard6016]

Great track and still got it on 7". Reminds me of boogieing around the London Discos when it was FUN FUN FUN and everybody smiled. Hey and I remember BT Express too. I hear a lot of UK Clubs are playing this music again probably due to HEART FM Club Classics on Sat night. Blimey...which was the best DISCO in YOUR town I wonder? How did we dance and smoke ciggies too with our pint of lager until 2AM. Memories??? Chris Brighton England
