The Floaters Float On Reaction

[@paigemills67]

You have just experienced REAL R&B! This song came out in 1977 and yes, during the famous skating rink days. They sure don't make songs like this anymore.

[@shevawn1973]

You got that right! I'd go back in a heartbeat ❤

[@Lfg117]

🎯

[@AutomatikSystematik]

I always loved this song. They all had such great voices!

[@cbilky2914]

Danced to this in the late 70s at many school dances, This was their biggest hit. we need to hear some The Gap Band with Charlie Wilson..mmmmmmm

[@hmeezy2190]

Music like this will never be made nowadays, gotta appreciate this even more ✊🏾

[@marcusbetancourt3760]

So smooth, so clean, so pure and right to the point. Laid his cards on the table and told her how he felt deep in his heart. No other words were needed.

[@monticlassictv]

This was the 1970’s love song that you got the girl of your dreams on the dance floor for the the last dance of the night and many a family was started listening to this song and absolute beauty from 1977. I’m now 66 and still listen to these fantastic 1970’s classics.

[@TheRealRealOK]

I love this song. I miss the 70s synchronized dancing.

[@kellyvarn7519]

Omg one of my all time favorites!!! At work my friends and I would seriously die when he says, CANCER, My name is Larry!!!

[@vaderjones357]

Yay! You did this too! While I watched Strawberry Letter 23 I wondered if you'd done it. Another youth center dance tune!! 💜🎶💜🎶💜🎶💜🎶💜🎶💜 Float.....float on

[@schranalderman3522]

First time watching you I just had to see your reaction to the floaters singing one of my favorite songs I remember back in the day I was doing just that off of that song (baby making music) I'm glad you liked it, you are so funny 😂

[@DUCKDUCKGOISMUCHBETTER]

This is a new one for me. Before this reaction, I had never heard of this group, or song before. Loved it!

[@bpeaches58]

YOU ARE SO CRAZY! LOVE THAT SONG! IT CAME OUT IN 1977 WAS VISITING MY MOM AND MY SIBLINGS! COOLIDGE AVE TRENTON NJ....🎼🎶🎵🎤🎧🎵🎶🎼

[@Husselbu1]

Sagittarius... And my name is Helen.... ♥️ That song... Count me in

[@JamesBond-pb2qy]

My Middle Daughter too

[@MJM830-SP]

One of my ALL TIME favorites! Happy to see you discovering new music…

[@doplinger1]

I'm so glad there was a video for this! There's a long version too, about 12:00. "Cancer...and my name is Larry.." Cheech and Chong did a parody of this song called "Bloat On" that's worth a listen :D

[@gwenfusco7292]

I love your channel! You are the complete package in so many areas. Thank you!

[@jamespasifull]

Capricorn.......& my name is James, I like a woman who digs real tunes like this!! 😂 Float on!!

[@davemoss9505]

I truly enjoyed watching you enjoy this song. I had the exact same reaction when Charles started. I put my hand up in the air.

[@ujimajame4601]

Your assessment of this song and comments at the end were spot on, especially about how someone would sing this song today! Their moves were smooth and classy, very reminiscent of Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - the group that launched Teddy Pendergrass, who you should check out doing "I Miss You", "Hope That We Can Be Together Soon", "Bad Luck" and "The Love I Lost." (They also did the original version of "Wake Up Everybody.")

[@annpriddy7941]

They don’t have choreography like that anymore. 😁

[@katie-didellis2437]

I always loved watching the choreography. It was just class. We had some of the best music ever. The 60s 70s some of the 80s the greatest just the greatest. RMR love your reactions.

[@non-alphagamer3618]

The Floaters were so smooth. When I was a kid, I wanted to either be a Floater or a Pip. Loved all that soul!

[@manuginobilisbaldspot424]

This song will be a bop another 45 years from now. Just a great great record. This is an awesome idea, even if I'm familiar with a lot of the content. You bring me back to a lot of songs I grew up hearing my parents and older relatives listen to at get togethers and parties.

[@AutomatikSystematik]

Released in 1977. I was like 10 when this came out and I've loved it since.

[@JNante]

I was 14, this was one of my favorite's.

[@colinglen4505]

I knew you'd like the falsetto of Charles. he and Larry are my favourites on this. good reaction Ty. : )

[@leesher1845]

Loved your smiles throughout this fabulous tune and great choreography. How can anybody not smile when listening to this song. It really does make you feel like you’re ~ floating ~…

[@nainoswad2725]

Thank you my friend..reminding me of school discos...and the Teacher with a 12" ruler to make sure you don't get too small.

[@brendaa2373]

MRM, you are hilarious! Love your comments and reactions!

[@robertkennedy1776]

Beautiful song i was about 8 when it came out. My mother loved this song. It was just such a nice time for music people and everything.

[@ayseclark-carter8744]

I have a lot of catching up to do gosh. I love this song. Your face that was classic you had me laughing . Great channel. Respect 😂😂💙

[@workingman6681]

Thank you so much for playing my song. Me and my buddies would sing this song all the time. Looking forward to tomorrow!

[@robj8201]

Beautiful song from the 70's....a time when men groomed their long hair or Afros and then came punk and everyone spat at each other...but bands and songs like this lasted till the 80's till the dawn of the teeny boy band and the stampede of hip hop took over and things have never been the same since. 🎶🇬🇧🇺🇸🎶

[@judylee4787]

Love this song

[@daveperala4723]

Man did you reach for this one. I do remember it however. Some serious belly rubbin on the dance floor music.

[@cynthiamarymonteiro3399]

Love the Floaters! You had me Laughing! I Subscribed! Lol

[@kevinthetruckdriver353]

I prefer the *11 minute version* of this song the best.

[@Jsimm100]

+kevin the truck driver Me Too.

[@papapabs175]

[@incarnateTheGreat]

[@ARIKIP]

Love that version...Its basically just the instrumental and the unedited single version combined. Classic Classic Classic.

[@dranet47]

I do remember that song. I think I had it on a K-Tel.

[@michaellomax843]

I think we all had K-Tel or Ronco LPs back then ;) A cheap way of having at least 20 hit songs from recent charts... I still have some. 'SUPERBAD' was my first by K-Tel in 1973 or 4...

[@jacquiethielen]

Wax version of a mixtape. I often buy those compilations at thrift stores.

[@jscalf5585]

[@TheMsPhyl]

Youngster your reaction is priceless. Yes we know them too.

[@kempmt1]

There was one group that did "Float On", but had the guys doing a rap in place of the talking.

[@stacymoore9836]

I graduated in 1979. That song played at a lot of school dances. It was heavenly!!

[@mardigrasbeads]

This song came out in the late 70's, but I didn't hear until the early 80's. It's still one of my favorites.

[@davidmills9685]

Same and I only heard a few times and loved the song first tim i heard it.

[@nickduran7311]

A thumb up their butt?!!! Hahaha, that’s a classic low rider song, great reaction. Had me cracking up

[@yvetteadshead4212]

Crikey, takes me right back to smooching at the end of the night, love it. Do they still do slow dancing any more ?

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

I remember my parents playing this song as a kid. I loved Larry because we have the same sign, plus, he was the coolest! Ha Ha. That was released in 1977... back when astrological signs were very popular on the dating scene!!

[@ff_drill1332]

Love this song I’m a Cancer to I cruise to this song all the time Larry is my favorite!!

[@Simpleshit101]

God damn man I’m not usually one for review videos but this shit cracked me up 10/10

[@michaellomax843]

Coca Cola lol MRM loving your expressions and skits :-D The song is from 1977. It reminds me of working in my first job when I left High School. I was turning 17 then. This was their only big hit here in the UK. Don't know what happened with them after.

[@workingman6681]

Thank you MRM!! Made my night!!!

[@JamesBond-pb2qy]

I've been listening to this since I was a kid in Detroit

[@MrBugman3009]

[@glenyswana7259]

[@maymeclayton1402]

That was their only hit in the 70's when horoscopes were popular and this song was very popular.

[@jdsguam]

[@bennyrobles9194]

[@MrKavonne]

U are so awesome for reacting to this !

[@gyloir]

King Floyd - Groove Me is a great older soul/funk song I think you'd like if you enjoyed this song.

[@TheRealRealOK]

gyloir That’s a good one.

[@KingAdamPaul2025]

Gyloir great choice!

[@jomama2757]

Yup, it registered... Floaters were the bomb. If you liked this, try one by the O'Jays called Forever Mine

[@SPTNN]

Forever Mine is a Great song

[@calme-dx2dp]

Those cats were cool and smooth back then, and that was not so, so long ago, my how things change.

[@evafoley5423]

Ok, love love this song! Roller skating and "rexing" to this in the Bay Area in CA, a melting pot of ethnicity and lifestyles. I try to explain how blessed I've been to be exposed to music in the 60s/70s. All genres of music played on the station. Thanks for this one!

[@leesher1845]

Great tune. How can anybody not smile when watching this video. ❤️

[@loverofanimals120]

Loved it - bought the 45 all those years ago!

[@lisatinbliki5691]

What does Larry say at the very, very end of the song which sounds like "Yee yea you better.......

[@patrickturner8817]

Oh my gosh motown was everything, when I was youg, this is dixie from texas, I wish they would have groups like this again, this is the best music.

[@brucefontaine]

God damn haven't heard that in years, had the 45. Wanna go out now & get me a powder blue tux with tails. Loved that song brings back some memories. Round about the same time you might like this Oran "Juice" Jones - The Rain.

[@gbenard64]

If I remember correctly, this was about 1976 or so.. and it took over the airways.. it was a killer

[@SPOR1965]

Charlies with his fine self--this is one of the smoothest songs of all time

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Knew you’d like this one! Such a classic. Please do some Mary Wells. Thanks.

[@billbodger4723]

[@melodysullivan434]

I wish more of the young generation would experience more the old school cultures!!!

[@pennysilvey8868]

[@MRM-RedDawn]

Good one! Good ole R&B Soul here!!

[@fredkelly6953]

Another time and most definitely another place. Huge hit of nostalgia listening to this, we really were treated to great music back then.

[@hermandadams]

music of the 60/70's was so creative and individual it was all so good many different sounds rock Motown ska reggae bloody hell so much stuff blues rock n roll im'e glad glad i was there it's difficult to imagine if there will ever be an age like it again.(i hope so) ps i hope you get round to doing some (MUSE) from the erarly 2.000's they were a bit special

[@ImDatBamaLdy]

Watching these young kids discover us OLD FOLKS’ music for the first time is just a trip🤣

[@kathleenmurphy6220]

Smooth, classic soul. I haven’t heard this awesome song in so long.

[@bridgetlaw1484]

OH OH.....Your Mom would certainly remember.....Rose Royce.....Love don't live here anymore....PLEASE react to this

[@cbilky2914]

Workin at the ''Car Wash''..lol or ''I wanna get next to you''

[@vaderjones357]

Remember the car wash dance we'd do??

[@philcrane2426]

MRM...... Only the long version should be played....this is only the back half. One of the smoothest recordings of my generation and very very underrated. It does Float on! Amazing. Keep this going you are keeping real music alive.

[@megawhitesox0574]

all four could sing on their own they are that good.

[@pursedelighted9020]

Thoses dudes was smooth.I listened to it.loved it

[@uniquemeek4532]

Everytime I hear this song I think of that episode of Fresh Prince when Jazz and Jewel got married. They were coming down the aisle to this song. Classic!

[@miguelamadio9685]

As a brazilian I was never exposed to a lot of soul/funk growing up so my references were the songs that played in movies and and shit, but lately I've been listening to a lot more of these styles and man the day I heard this it was a magical experience

[@charlesburris6314]

The last time I heard it was 1983. Thank you for bringing this one back to active memory.

[@go234ko96ts5]

Another one of those soul classics from the late 70's. Boy, you can feel the vibes and depth in their voices. Great song guys, thanks for the video
