Los Angeles in the 80’s seems like a magical time. I’m sure those people had no idea that a random day for them 40 years ago that people would be watching them.

[@Silllywalks]

yes, that people would be watching their normal day and thinking it was the best thing ever. And they are right. it's easy to corrupt a simple freaking concept.

Ah, back in the day when Venice Beach was a safe and fun, and slightly weird place to be, in a good way. And yes, I'm 62 and the Gap Band still makes me want to get up and dance. I've not heard a song in a long long time, that makes me want to dance.

[@irawardofficial]

Lot of people don't know this but, The Gap brothers were really talented and it was a pleasure working with them and seeing it all unfold. Charlie would do all his vocals in one take, unbelievably talented! I laid all of the ground tracks on this one at Capitol Records studio in Hollywood back in 1983. I remember this session like yesterday. R.I.P. Robert and Ronny!

[@soft_serve_666]

That's so cool! What an accomplishment. I just want to say thank you for having a hand in bringing their music to the masses. It's not a party until the Gap Band starts playing. It's also scientifically impossible to be sad when listening to their music.

[@olivere5497]

Every once in awhile I have to comeback to this video and remember that incredible day on Venice Beach. The only thing that makes being 65 tolerable are the incredible and fantastic memories of Los Angeles in the 80's and being part of it.

[@DiscoDashco]

Yep, you definitely won out in the game of life in regard to timing. You were not only old enough to remember all of the 80s, but you got to enjoy it as an adult too! OMG, the fashions, the music, the quality of manufactured goods, the purchasing power of a dollar, the coke without any fentanyl in it.. and you get to check out from natural causes well before the world is destroyed from climate change. Good times.

[@ElizabethSnyder-Baldonado]

I'm 77+, & I used to work at a club called "Dance Your Ass Off" in downtown San Diego...there was NO getting service from the wait/management staff when this jam came on. We might've had a couple dozen folks working, but they'd all throw down what they were busy with & invade the postage-stamp-sized dance floor en masse(pardon my inability to effectively use the hybrid Swedish/Japanese/Martian dialective conglomeration in which my pet rats were raised back in the day-) with manic enthusiasm. It could get awkward. It could become most definitely painful. Some of us would fall down, repeatedly, but nobody seemed to mind. Many billion yrs later(+ -👀), those memories help to keep this old shaky-booty-being being one.

Bad ass dancing music, my shoes would get to smokin, call the fire dept to put them out.

[@Mancada100]

This song epitomizes perfectly the 80s: a time full of fun, style, innovation and coolness!

[@moncsi325]

That's when someone has natural talent and music is in their blood. no matter how simple the lyrics, it moves you

[@PacificDark]

[@randyassad2061]

I loved the Gap Band-Party Train was one of my favorites!!!

[@jessstone7486]

Great groove. But, boy, if it was me setting this video up it would have certainly involved railroading > get on an Amtrak, and rock that thang!!! But that's just me.

This is one of the REAL JAMS!!!

An '80's time capsule, Cali-style.

[@andreadorea6275]

almost 40 years later and this song still JAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charlie Wilson sang backup for Stevie Wonder's I Ain't Gonna Stand For It. I wish they would have done some serious songs together. A match made in heaven. They have the same range.

It's 2020. I'm definitely voting for Gap Band. I " Don't wanna miss that train"

The 1980’s were freaking awesome! 🇺🇸

[@CHUCKSNORRIS]

70's were better.

[@lanceduponte8241]

I don't care what people say these guys got the job done if you had a really bad day listen to the gap band I did and changed my life I listen to heavy metal but these guys definitely put me in a great mood I used to watch girls dance to this blew my mind great song hands down

[@russjiao-long5387]

heavy metal signatures arose from real funk and disco written by real musicians. thats' why even hardcore metal heads find themselves bobbing to great songs like this and many others tracks.

[@desten2008]

Man you just can't sit still and listen to this jam.

These old Gap Band tracks hold up great today. If you spin this and it doesn't get butts out of seats you might want to make sure you didn't plan your party at the morgue.

One of the greatest party songs of all time

[@ultra100able]

Back then whenever anyone heard this song all aboard the party train, regardless of your culture or color, this music brought people together .

200 years from now and this will still be one of the songs that just grabs your soul and makes you happy Perfect from start to end.

This video is so unpretentious and positive. It brings tears of joy to my eyes. Even when they go in the ring, they don't fight. How nice!

[@christophercasey6775]

That video looks like fun to me. They got it right.

I remember this was one of the few R&B videos MTV would actually play back in the day. I was glued to the set anytime they played this classic!
