Who’s here in 2024?🎉🎉🎉😊😊💥✨

1980....a wonderful time to be growing up in New York City listening to timeless classics like this.

“WBLS......Worlds Best Listening Sound” I can still hear the voice of the late, great Frankie Crocker. When “radio” really mattered.

My mom loved this song so much RIP mom

I know you older folks may remember this from the clubs but, if you were a kid in 1981, this was THE OFFICIAL ROLLERSKATE JAM!!!

Back when NYC was where all the sounds came from!

This is a, all time classic in the 80's,and will go on forever, this is one of the Classics you pull out for your kids so they know what true music was about.

I respond to a lot of music posts on here. This one is so personal. I love it number one. Number two it was a hit in the clubs in NYC back in the day. Number three, did I mention it's personal? It brings me back to NYC in 1980 and I can remember what I was doing then, walking around The Village and Soho before they were bougie, me on qualuudes in the afternoon, going to the Garage at night dancing to this, oh wow. I want them to play this at my funeral, I have always said this. This is the best dance song ever, just listen to the arrangement

I was 15 years old when this song was released in 1980. I just started listening to it again and I really get lost in the whole vibe of the record after all this time.

Listen to the lyrics carefully..... "this is the time and the place" "Don't you like it?" The time and the place was 1981 ...Leroy Burges was on freakin fire! It doesn't get better than this. The underground clubs were unbeleivable back in the day! I'm glad I was there.

This song reminds me to always live your best life. Roll with the gifts that God has given you whether that be a spouse, a child, a friend, a talent, a school, a job... Just embrace them and always be positive and allow that narrow road of life to open up for you. "Don't you like it? Don't you like it?" Yeah, then say "Let's do it. Let's do it. There's nothing to it. We gonna make this love get started, take this love within my heart, put my loving where you are."

This is truly Paradise Garage and so many other clubs from back in the day. We swayed and swirled to this smooth Sam Jam! I can hear the sound system in my head and I can see the crowd and the lights! Wow!

Man how I miss the way NYC was back in the day ......

We owe it to this type of music for the good times we had during the 80's. In Johannesburg, in Durban we forgot about hard times we were going through when we tuned in to this music, credit to the creator.

I'm still listening to this in 2020 during the pandemic. Who's with me?

I am a 13 year old and this just gets me pumping. I'm so in love with it. I want it to be played at my birthday party😂❤

Leroy Burgess was that guy. Everything he touched turned to gold. # Midas Touch😎

Only grown folks can relate to this beat, lyrics and vamp.

This song will always be relevant and withstand the test of time. For me, it has a personal place in my heart because my mom used to dance to it. (R.I.P.) Thank you for this upload.

I love this song from 1980. WBLS was playing this track to death! I heard it just about every day and I reminisce about the good ol' days when disco jams were born. I wish I could go back there and "Do It" all over again!

This song still gets parties rocking. Love it!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I could listen to this track for hours on end. Absolutely incredible. 80’s disco funk forever ♥️♥️♥️♥️

On the bus headed to work with a smile on my face. I love this song. I need it on REPEAT MODE

LISTENING TO MUSIC AND THOUGHT I'D NEVER HEAR THIS AGAIN, AAAAAAAH THE MEMORIES OF WHEN GOING OUT TO DANCE WAS A TRUE EXPERIENCE,I MISS U LARRY AND THE GARAGE, CAUSE U PLAYED THIS IN LIKE ALWAYS, IN UR ONE AND ONLY UNIQUE WAY,WITH MUCH MUCH LOVE

It seems like yesterday......this is what we call music.

A proud baby-boomer who had the great fortune of growing up w/ 60s Motown; 70s funk & disco & 80s house...still floating from NYC paradise garage to Tracks DC & the children @ the Clubhouse/DC. I will always jamm to this music..trying to teach my grand-nephews and nieces about da funk!

Lets do it! Can you handle it! Heartbeat! Give me your love! I hear music in the streets! Classic anthems for grown folks.

I so remember this back in the day in the clubs....Zanzibar, Sheniq's, Rose's in Philly, Loft, Garage, .....house head till I die....been doing this for 42 yrs now and still love to dance not so much hanging out as it is for dancing to great vibes!!!!

this is that work I'm from Newark NJ peace to Chicago and Baltimore house music all nite long

Takes me back to Paradise NYC

This Morning I'm at work and I can't get this Song & Beat out of my mind. I'm a 70's baby I love this song My oldest sis used 2 rock this all the time. She not here bring back lovely memories." Let do it""put your hands up in the air and weave them like you don't care" . WBLS 1/25/2021

March 2018 and I'm still listening to this jam like it came out yesterday. Peace to all - especially my NYC crew

You know that I always give this song two thumbs up 👍 because it's beat was so awesome that you could say let's do it. And we all did on the dance floor back in 1980.it's been 40 long years. And yes let's all do it once again...!

Gosh, just found this. What a gold mine! I remember first hearing this in 1985.

I thought i'd never find this jam. This is NYC sound for real.

I love the harmonizing vocals of Leroy Burgess. 3:24-3:43- "Let the feeling take us over and closer too love, let the music take us farther than stars up above!" Man...the music I grew up listening to. I am so thankful for musical geniuses' that knew where to take the music and what to do with it when they were given the opportunity....So grateful! Thank you Leroy Burgess, thank you funkyswede62

Too many memories, simply a great classic... This is music...

Wow, what a song!!! I miss this music so much❤

this record was doing my prime of going out to the clubs. so it has a special place in my heart.

Never forget the chief rocker .if your not lesssoning to 107.5 then your radio isn't on .the chief.

One of my favorite songs ever... so soulful

this is when music was music. I miss wbls and kiss fm. Nobody does it like they do it. Party all night y'all

This was the cut back in the day & DJ's absolutely adored mixing this one!! Leroy Burgess, The Club King!

How on earth can anybody give this classic disco track (from back in the day the thumbs down!). They don't know good music or funky grooves when they hear it.

This takes me waaaaaaaay back 1979 dancing at Faces night club in Cambridge, 5 nights a week. I wish more music like this would come back!

Searching years for this cut...authentic funk at its best...70's..80's..90's I'm stuck

i just recommended this to my dad..hope he enjoys it

I was 14 or 15 when this song came out. Back then I didn't care for it because it got played all the time on WBLS and KISS-FM. But years later my adult ears heard it on a proper sound system and it was like hearing it for the first time. It's just a great song.

Hearing this at 14 and hearing it now at 50 ..... still holds mystery for me. I still love it and now know that it'll never ever leave me.

Wonderful memories... Harlem... Block parties... just beginning to start my party life... LOL

memories when life was good all the way around

If only we can all travel back to this era! Thanks for uploading this gem, Funkyswede!

Yes it was a NY classic but I rocked it in Chicago at the Century Disco. Simply Amazing.

This was when people had passion and patience to make great music , this is classic feel good music first class" dig you dig.

This guy Leroy Burgess has so much of an impact on my life

DJ'd a party Christmas 1980. This is the song that made me realize, it was time to leave a bad 5 yr relationship. I enlisted in the military and got hell outta town. Saying goodbye to my ex Charles Motley and that third wheel, in the love triangle, Rodney Harding. What a mess! Went off and saw the world, no regrets! Like Conversion said, Let's Do It!!! So I did!!! 😊

what a banger of a tune..... they dont make em like this no more

thx for for all these great responses to what is simply a dancefloor classic bar none and to the equally impressive and talented Leroy Burgess, that man is truly a legend!

the encore @ Jamaica queens...who gives you more and more!!! encore encore!!!! patty duke y'all,,patty duke!!!!

W...B...L..S! 😎

I went to The Paradise Garage in 1980 for the first time. Larry played this. From that point on, I knew the PG was the club for me.....

Thanks for posting this HOT gem. I love to come to here to support all of my favorite artists. This music is timeless.

This was the first and orginal song I heard when I stepped foot into the Paradise Garage in 1980

Nile Rogers mentioned the “ gang vocals” on which everyone sang in unison. Luther Vandross used the technique in the group Change in the early 80’s.

One of my ALL time favorites! OMG I love this song...

I was a baby when this record was released. Now you may wonder how in the hell does he know about this song. Well my brother is 12 years older than me and this was his era. He was a DJ back in the 80s. My mother was always hip and kept current on music. I grew up hearing this music being played everyday by them. I'm from a city that loved Disco and is the birthplace of House music so these kind songs were always in rotation. Also songs back then had a longer life span. Anybody who was a teenager or an adult then I'm so jealous because you all had the best generation, best parties and best music then. Leroy Burgess was the best musician, producer and composer back then!

My brother-in-law produced this. I wish he would go back into music. I miss old school music.

Much respect to the legend Leroy Burgess! If you don’t know, you better ask somebody!😄

Club Zanzibar ...torn this up one night RIP Sunshine

this song reminds me of the time i went with my best friend's mother.. everybody had went out and left me alone with the mother. well honey , let me tell you..she had a few grown kids in the house that night and she decided she wants to go over to new york city..mind you she was every bit of 70 or more.. i was looking all forlorn on a new year's eve night.. everybody of my age had left me.. well child, she asked me to come along with them..so i went.. we winded up in the holland tunnel coming from jersey city into brooklyn.. it was this club called club extasy if im spelling it right.. new years eve was coming in and i was on the stairs going into the club.. it was crowded.. the clock was ticking in new years eve.. this song was on.. i couldnt bum rush into the club, so i let loose right there on the steps.. when i say i carried on..i carried on yall.. all i heard was whistling and clapping..mind you the mother was still s tanding next to me.. honey when i did come down from that song, she yelled out " don't give this girl no more to drink.." the crowd laughed and so did i.. i hugged her and wished her a happy new year and she just laughed at me.. she has since gone passed now.. however every time i hear this song i think of that new years eve night when she took me with her.. i had the time of my life.. i was about 24..im now 58....this song was during the best of times...

This song was very popular in South Africa back in 1981 was played at weddings and parties.We used to dance with this song, it’s incredible

Paul Anderson. Use to dance with him to this tune. Memorable times RIP Paul

Dig Leroy Burgess's voice!!! Nothing ever like this song, another one of the greatest !!!😎

Thank you KZfaq for these long extended versions!! That's why you are THE BEST

I remember when my mother use to play this song ...this was my favorite song as a kid an now as an adult 🔥🔥 I’m only 35 now so I think this song came out 3yrs before I was born...anyway this still my joint lol

80,the best music

Come on now, this what you call real Music! !!

Had this track in my head all day that as soon as I got home I had to play it LOUD! 😲🥰😂🦹‍♀️

Yes this song brings back serious memories. About 5am & the party was vicious, everybody knew it was real & u could feel the euphoric atmosphere n the club. Bless Frankie Knuckles 4 ever

Classic Rollerskating Jam. This is the joint where the dancers on skates get busy. I'm talking backwards, sideways, 1 leg, leg over leg, backwards holding your girls hand, you name it . We used to have super clean fun. 74 baby here, but funk carried over all into the 80s...!

This has always been my fave dance song. When I was 19 growing up in NYC, it reminds me of going to clubs in soho, like the garage, or just walking around the streets in soho during the day when I was high on quaaludes, a young gay guy trying to find my way, and I would walk around the piers in soho trying to pick uk up up truckers and not having much luck and feeling like I was a loser. but this song would always pick me up! now I'm 59, am married to a wonderful guy, and I still want this played for me me when I am on my deathbed, so I can remember I had a beautiful life, and loved great dance music! and go out shaking my scraggly ass as I lay on the bed. And I think that is a beautiful thing!

BLS was rockin,KISS FM was rockin,KTU was rockin,Frankie Crocker was rockin,the club's were rockin,the honies and baby dolls were rockin,and drunk driving was legal.What a great time growing up in NYC

I was younger than 20 i remember this is the jam! This is what dance music is disco

So glad to hear all my great party music again...loving this, so many memories!!

This is still my jam! !!!

"Don't you like it!" Love was what was on people's minds.

Memories is all I can say grooving wasnt a thang for us in them late 70's

I remember it was 2018 or 2019, I was 19 and I used to be one of those KZfaq Sample Diggers, trying to find the best sample... one day this popped up in my home and from then on it was instant love. I would play this from time to time and even when I had enough of it, the melody would come to my mind while working and I would sing the lyrics. It's been a couple of months since i last played it. Glad this showed up again... "Let's do It, Let's do it... 🎶"

🎼80th music is best nice one 🎷🎸🎺🎤🎸Dance Dance Dance...👠👠 ...brings back my disco days,🍸🍹 when life was so carefree, wonderful memories,so good vibes .....those were good time unlike now 2016 were is shit times.

dontcha like it, dontcha like it? whoa yes i like it babeee babeee ayyyyeee ayyyyyyeee......

This was back when New York had 92-WKTU-98.7-KISS. And 107.5-WBLS. And they All played Top Dance Music like this! Wow! What Beautiful Times and Beautiful Memories. And Damn Good Music!😃😀😀😄😄

Leroy was.THE.CLUB KING of the early '80's !! 💘 🎶 😍⛸ 🌈 💃 📷

This was one the hits you would here in all the kids clubs across the country, The Garage, The Underground, The Ritz, The Warehouse, The Music Box, Murphy's Tracks, etc....You all know what I am talking about!!!

It's all about that funky love and good times, no complaints here!

Club music Miss the 80's.

Ooooooohhh! You know this song is gonna pop as soon as the vocal starts,then the music takes you there.HOT!!! in 2016!

This is definitely a NY classic. I mean it just reeks NYC. Visiting my cousins in Brooklyn from Atlanta 11th grade summer break. Linden Plaza East New York listening to WBLS rolling joints with EZ wilder rolling papers. 🤣

Slammin' from 35 years ago (1980) disco was hitting the scene strong & hard, I heard this on WBLS NYC days of Frankie Crocker (DJ Extrodinare). This jam blew me away. Summer nights dancing at Bonds, Studio 54, Club 92, The Paladium, Chicagos, Red Parrot on the West Side of Manhattan, Paco Raban cologne, Chams de Baron shirts, Capeziio shoes, honeys with big hair, lips red or purple from lipstick, high heels smellin' good & dancing great, Girls in Spandex I know some of you are out there...this jammy brings it all back and afterwards the Diner or Franks Luncheonette on Canal st. Listening to this, closing my eyes, brings it all back....aaaahhhh yeeeaaa Peace 2 ya who remember

I remember the first night i heard this in the garage...larry played it about 7 times and i hummed it to myself all the way home on the subway. i found out what it was called and got the 12 inch. i was MAD ABOUT THIS record. This is the first time i've heard it since......OMG...WHO FROM THE GARAGE REMEMBERS THIS ONE????

Wow! I can't even begin to convey all the memories that come rushing back to me, as I listen to this awesome track! The college radio stations (Emerson College's 88.9 WERS, and MIT's 88.1 WMBR) in Boston, used to play this on heavy rotation. I remember, as a little kid, with my Radio Shack-bought, Realistic brand boombox, quickly hitting the record button after the DJ would shut up, so I could record it on my Maxell UD-90 cassette. 😀 Sadly, they just don't make 'em like this anymore. 😞
