One of my favorite 'cheesy disco' hits - from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. Some (most) people probably know the Bee Gees version better , they wrote the song and Adult Contemporary radio seems to play their version more. But this Tavares version brings back many great memories to me ,....i was 14 and going to discoteques illegally , this is/was such a happy song. Reminds me of quite a few early in life girlfriends too. Those day will never be re-created. As much as life seemed so much fun and music seemed so so good in the late 1960's , ditto for the late 1970's , when people were more into having fun then worrying about what their friends thought of their taste in music. Fuck the corporate rock fans of the early 1980-'s that worshipped the burning of the disco records at Wrigley Field , and were proud of it. They are /were the music tea party people of the pre house age. Tired , and simply following trends. Shame on them for not understanding , or appreciating disco. But then again , thats why underground house sounded so good in the mid to late 1980's. So i guess its a wash.
