If you're reading this, you have a damn good taste in music.

My Mom raised me on this song! It was played LOUD to wake her up at 5am to make that early bus stop dragging me in tow! Oh how I hated that damn 6:15 am bus to an arts school 45 minutes away every M-F LOL. But Momma got me through it with Cheryl Lynn and her crazy early morning dance moves! She is 63 now. AND today I visited her. What was she playing LAF - Cheryl Lynn of course! ❤ I am so blessed!

So nice listening to this song again🙂This has made my evening over here in East Africa🙂Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 27th June 2024.

This bassline got me feeling all kinds of funky

I'm a fat, bald, white, middle-aged Englishman, but whenever I hear this even I could win the Soul Train dance off

Still kickin' it in 2024! Proof that you outdid yourself back in the Day, Bae Bayyyy ‼️💃🏿💕🕺🏿

63 years old and reminiscing profusely. MY TIME!

FINALLY I FOUND THIS MASTERPIECE

“ This song will NEVER go out of fashion” 😍

It’s not crazy production or anything gimmicky. It’s just a great song with outstanding musicians and what a voice.

日本からも未だに聴いてます❤ 大好きな曲❤❤❤❤❤

POV: it's the end of a 2000's comedy movie and u and all ur pals solved the conflict and are having a disco dance at the town diner y'all saved

I’m here because this is a good song, nobody sent me here, I just genuinely like it

I think it's impossible to hear this song without moving. So satisfying and feel good fun.

This is such an iconic song. Heard it countless movies. The song is even more famous than the singer.

still listening in 2022. can’t start the family cookout without this song bro

This is funk and soul. Everything is just right here. The rhythm, the voice, the perfect trumpets, its just a masterpiece.

Words can't even explain how much alot of us needed this

Born in 88. 9 years after this song was made. 35 years old now and still impossible to skip this on the radio or playlists

That bassline is sickness. Cheryl is wicked 😍

Some people may think of Cheryl Lynn as a "one-hit-wonder" ....if that is the case then what a hit and what a wonder!

Timeless...Simply one of the best Disco songs created🎶🎶

I'm in an awfully good mood for someone trying to finish 8 different assignments at 1AM. This song is my motivation! 😋✌

I'm here because my Mother has great taste in music.

This song is a masterpiece. Still as good as the day it was released.

This song puts a smile on my face - I feel loved and less alone!

1978 was such a magical year for music!

I can still see my grandma dancing to this around the house. rip my beautiful lady. until we meet again

Daaammmnnn, the base line is killing👍👍👍

One if my favourite all time songs! If you put this on and it doesn't make you happy, there is something seriously wrong with you. This music transcends all time 🌟

This that cook out music

I was today years old when I learned that El Tiburón de Proyecto Uno samples this song and it's a JAM. Thanks, Lewis Shawcross xd.

Cheryl Lynn has a powerful range. It gives you chills up your spine

Funk is life. Disco, Jazz, Soul, Pop, Rock, Latin, you name what genre you want to fuse in, funk is always fire.

It's interesting how the old music can put together different kind of people. From Harry Styles stans, RuPaul Drag Race fans that saw Alaska wining that lipsync and Jojo fans from Sono chi no Funky groove. I just love what music can do.

This song is over 40 years old and it’s still a kick ass song. Whenever you hear it you gotta sing it.

She's Been keeping it real since the 70's. Youngins dont know what it is "TO BE REAL" these days.

Cheryl gave us this song back in 1979 and I'm still dancing to it. That tells you all you need to know about it.

I grew up on this song listening to it with my granny and mother while they basically did everything to music. It takes me back to the place where I was happy didn't have no worries.. my mother is a phenomenal singer and her voice is like therapy to your ears and this song was one of her favorite songs that she song so that's what brought me here today 🕊️🕊️🦋🦋☺️☺️.. Cherish your mother while she still is here because tomorrow's not promised and death is inevitable.. Luckily we have music which we can use it as a tool to keep us sane, a keepsake in our minds as a memory and to bring others joy and happiness.. Rest easy with granny my old lady 🕊️🦋☺️.. Sorry you guys didn't mean to start rambling are not trying to be a Deb Downer but I just lost my mom to cancer 26 of January this year and my granny passed 3 months before that in October 7th from covid and this was one of their favorite song, I'm a triplet I can't really Express to my brothers my feelings because I don't want to trigger them into a nervous breakdown because even though I'm the youngest I'm the strongest and I really don't have an outlet or no one to talk to. My mother always told me it's better to talk to strangers because I just can't judge you because they don't have a pre perception of you so they're paying will be a genuine honest opinion and not bias so thanks you guys we're just letting me get this out. This is a beautiful song a very beautiful song ❤️❤️❤️ Miss music like this music that actually heals the soul 💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️😌😌

“Let’s get this party started riiight!” -Oscar the Shark Slayer

This women was ahead of her time with that lyric catch phrase. To be real. Sing sister..

I danced to this song I don’t know how many times, it’s timeless

I remember hustling to this jam at Rutgers University in 1978. We would tear up the dance floor. LEGENDARY artist.

I'm an Asian and I will always be proud that I grow up listening to black woman so talented and a blessing to music industry all over the world

Gorgeous singing voices and good arrangement for the seventys

oh yesssss 2024 still a hit song

I hate it when people said they hated disco,but you know all the disco clubs were turning people away,for lack of room.This woman was and is amazing...sing it,baby girl!

This song is one of the best ever! It has Spirit, Soul, and Life combined; I was 10 years old in 1978 when this dropped and still feel the same emotion I felt riding in the back seat of my mother's blue 1975 Datsun B-210 on tha way to my weekly evening Boy's Scout meeting; life was so much simpler then 😊 Ps. I had no idea what the club life was then but I can imagine when this song played during that era the club was on 🔥🔥🔥

Cheryl Lynn is awesome!!This song still works on the dance floor in 2023!!😍💝

CRAZY NOISY BIIIIZARRE TOOOOWNNN

Who's still jamming to this hit right here. Your the real MVP.

A song like this requires a quality & loud ass sound system

I get chills listening to that bass and that middle chorus drop where it’s all instrumental 🤤 and her voice just is like lightning through my spine ⚡️

When people let go. No phones. Just soul and energy.

This magnificent song has NEVER gotten old.

That’s 70s and 80s music the best💯👊🔥

0:46 to 1:04 is Pure Magic. I just can’t explain it any other way. 🔥🔥🔥.

That baseline is a masterpiece in itself

You can't help but get into a damn good mood when you hear 'Got to be Real.' Love this song!

The basss is so nice!!!

Cheryl Lynn is the Queen of Diamonds ♦Happy Birthday to Cheryl Lynn Blessings and Hugs 👑💜

Cheryl belted out a straight classic right here! She kept it REAL! That horn section tho'.

2021 and I'm still jamming to this. 💃🏾🕺🏾💃🏾🕺🏾💃🏾🕺🏾

I am here after Harry said it’s the song he would listen to while being alone in the car

Phyliss Hyman in the background yesss Cheryl Lynn could sannnggg

When that bass line chorus hit in the middle of the song it was so satisfying 😊tho I was desperately needing Cheryl to come back to me with that roaring voice and save me like I was holding on to dear life and there she was to save me again words can’t even explain Ty Cheryl for this

One of my most favorite songs of all times🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I love how this song was used in Paris is Burning, I almost cried every time it came on

Jammin bass, great vocals. Loved this song since it came out in '78, I was 15. Not ashamed 2 say, every now & then I still belt it out in the shower, car, sitting on the couch singin at my cat.

Love and peace to every human being on Earth but we black people are absolutely remarkable

What you thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiink-ah What you feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel now What you knoooooooooooooooow-ah To be real 2:16

Everything about this song is amazing, the mix, the singing, the playing, the writing, top of the top notch, thank you God for this song to even exist in the history if the universe.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 How can you top this?

My youth at it’s finest. Inexplainable! You had to live it.

My Father raised me with this song. Always on at every party. 🍸

All I can think about is Oscar's housewarming party in sharktale

This music is the reason why you or your parents were born

I was watching SATC S4E2 and when Carrie was walking down that runway, this song just started to play! What a choice of OST of SATC!!!

Classic jam that I STILL love! Ms. Lynn’s song 🎵 is timeless!

This song will never get old......100% Real.

This gets me tooooo hype

Blasting in the Amazon truck…goosebumps

❤ marvelous

This song bring back so many memories of waking up on Saturday mornings and cleaning the house with my siblings, everybody tried to hit that high note & failed miserably - then we would fall out laughing & start talking mess about how bad each other sounded!!! 🤣 This song is a classic gem 💎

This is honestly probably the greatest song of all time

Most favorite song ever in the disco years.🥰

You can't be sad while listening to this

I'm 26. I think my past life loved this music cuz I have no idea why I love such old music from 50s-70s... it's flipping amazing and I really needed this cuz I've been down. Thank you 💜

Such a great song I love it old school 😊

Best music ever!❤

I’m here because this is a great boogie soul song, nobody sent me here, I just genuinely publicly LOVE it !!!

Happy 62nd birthday to Cheryl Lynn, born this day in 1957, this massive club anthem from her debut 1978 album Cheryl Lynn, on Columbia records, with such an infectious groove its one of those songs that when that intro rings out, the dancefloor gets moving, a Caister Soul Weekender classic

It’s not a family gathering if this song isn’t played 💚💚💚💚😍😍😍😍😍 mom played this song when I was younger and it stuck with me

Now this is the music I know and grew up on

Rest in peace Venus Xtravaganza. You left a bigger mark than you ever could have imagined.

this was the JAM when It was released this is a masterpiece for a lot of us, I still think it's a JAM 🎵🎵💎

Damn! We really had the best music!

I was a junior in high school when this hit in 78 and danced to it in as a senior in 79 all the way through first year in college 1981...still do. lol

Cheryl's fabulous voice is the perfect compliment to that colorful swirling disco orb and oscillating lights. That was the era where everything was in alignment and you looked forward to Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights at the discotheque and always wondering what new hit would be generated by the DJ on shift. That was clean wholesome fun then. Sadly, gone are those days but may they live on forever in our memories.

Suddenly I had the urge to listen to this.

I am here because my parents, my sister and brother gave me a great music education and great taste in terms of music lol I'm born in 1986 so i'm definetaly a kid of the 90's but after I have a big sister who's born in 1979 a big brother who's born in 1980...My mother was born in 1954 and I remember growing up and raising by my parents along side with my big sister and brother I was listening to the music of my generation but also listening to what my parents, sister and brother listened to and I remember enjoying it so much and my parents they were the same they listened to what we were listening what made our generations...I remember back in the 90's when I was a fan of Britney Spears, Usher, Shola Ama, Janet Jackson, Spice Girls, Céline Dion, Jamiroquai, among so many others my father who was a fan of Compay Segundo among others was also a fan of Spice Girls too I remember he used to buy one of their album...I remember being so glad to see that my parents love as much as I did some of my favorites artists and love as much as my artits than i loved theirs I listen music who are from the 50's the 60's the 70's 80's the 90's the 00's and so on... as long as it's good to my hear and I enjoy it I listen
