"Float On" is a 1977 hit song by the R&B/soul group The Floaters. The spoken verses combine two popular trends from the time, star signs and video and phone dating, in lines such as Aquarius and my name is Ralph / Now I like a woman who loves her freedom. The song was co-written by James Mitchell of The Detroit Emeralds group.
Released from their self-titled debut album, it became one of the biggest singles of the year, spending six weeks at number one on the U.S. Hot Soul Singles chart. "Float On" was also a crossover hit, peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 behind Andy Gibb's "I Just Want to Be Your Everything" and The Emotions' "Best of My Love",[1] but with no other Hot 100 hits, The Floaters became a one-hit wonder on that chart. "Float On" also reached number one on the UK Singles Chart,[2] and number five on the Irish Singles Chart. The song was covered by two hip-hop bands: Stetsasonic on its album In Full Gear (1988),[3] and Dream Warriors on its album The Master Plan (1996), the latter of which was released as a single.
The song was adapted in the early 1990s to advertise Cadbury's Crème Eggs.[citation needed]

Iconic 1977 R&B. So thankful I remember the 60s & 70s. One of the last Motown-style songs b4 funk & then hip-hop/rap took over. End of an era. #Treasure

This came out in the mid-late 70's and these brothers were a one-hit wonder. Asking a chick her zodiac sign was a big thing back in the 70's. This song was very popular back then and still is with the old heads. The moves that you see these guys do wasn't called dancing....it was called stepping.

***FLOATERS TRIVIA TIME!!!*** ...float onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn...... THIS..... - ....not much trivia, due to this Band being 'One Hit Wonders'; the popularity of 'Astrology Love' during the "Me" Decade, and the loooooooooong length of the 12+ minute Album version (for lovemaking), made this an outta-the -box SMASH, hitting #1 R&B for SIX WEEKS, and #2 Pop, for two.... - ...It ORIGINALLY was written for (and by) a member of the R&B group The Detroit Emeralds, but the Floaters got it, due to a contract dispute regarding royalties (i.e. the writer gets ALL the money, and doesn't have to share it with the Band members.... ) - ...their 1978 LP, "Love Letters" stiffed, and after 4 Albums they broke up...they hired new members in 2001, and toured sporadically, but several members passed away, and disbanded again....

In the 70s there were 3 main music genres; Rock, Country, and Soul. This is Soul music we didn’t call it R&B because we knew it was an progression of our genius.

This is one of the greatest running jokes in my youth with our toilet humor back when we were young. We all laughed so hard sometimes still to this day nobody believes it was a band called The floaters with a song called float On. Because where we grew up sometimes there's that one turd that never flushed down and we used to call it somebody left a floater in the bowl. 🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣😆😆

Yes Empress, This was smooth 70's Soul/R&B music, and no doubt a memorable track to boot...But unfortunately, they were a 1-Hit Wonder that also somewhat "floated" into obscurity...LOL!!! 😉😂😊 Nevertheless, it's a relaxing "Vibe" that we can still enjoy today in 2022!!! Therefore, all jokes aside, "Thank You" for this reaction because it is truly appreciated!!!
