I couldn't have been too much more than 5 or 6 when my aunts took me to a block party down the street from my grandparent's house. It turned out to be more like a full blown disco right there in the street. There was a DJ set up at the end of the block with strobe lights going off, and the street was absolutely packed with people dancing to this song. They were going OFF! People were screaming and singing along with the chorus. Smiles and long hair flying everywhere. It was one of the most memorable musical experiences of my life.

The way you described it made it so easy to see and feel. Thanks for sharing a beautiful memory

[@damiantobiaszapater2376]

Debió ser muy bonito esa época de finales de los años 70S y principio de los 80S. Yo no lo viví porqué soy de los 90S. Y por cierto es buena música!!!

[@chrissvenningson1747]

I just can’t get tired of Disco. Growing up in Ft. Lauderdale, Disco was everywhere. Born in ‘67, I started listening as soon as I could. I loved it and still do !! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@judykhan5922]

Who needs drugs when you've got music like this!!!!

[@stevemurphy3025]

Here is arguably one of the finest productions and disco songs to emerge from the whole 1970's. A masterpiece that will stand the test of time, from the brilliant and powerful vocalist, Thelma Houston. This is her shining moment showcasing the work of Kenny Gamble, Leon Huff and Cary Gilbert, all part of Philadelphia's international library. For 1976, "Don't leave me this way'" speaks of production and vocal excellence. This recording will live on forever.

[@robertocervantes5247]

Yes Steve, a real musical masterpiece that will last forever.

[@michaelburke8882]

The lighted dance floor. Lights flashing...synced to the music. The bass throbbing to the beat. Thelma ' s intoxicating voice. My boy's arm wrapped around my waist, and our bodies moving together as one. He tells me not to leave him this way.Trust me, I won't.
