A POP sensation, it was one of the first DISCO records to get air play on AM radio. WABC in New York listed this as their number one record for three streight weeks in the summer of 1975. On my scale from 1-10 it gets a strong 8.
I just love this song and this version is great.
I loved finding "disco" versions on the flipside of the 7in single.
Just watched an old episode of GOOD TIMES on DVD and he did perform the song during the show...
