Who cares what color when it's funky?

Danced to that when it came out. It was 1976. Just graduated high school. Disco was coming and we went dancing every single weekend. What great times. You know these were the innocent days, had not heard of AIDS, no date-rape drugs, just long weekends of drinking, partying and dancing until the clubs shut down. Commodores were out. Great times. If you were drunk the cops took you home. These were days we will never get back.

It's 8.45pm in a cold, dark West Yorkshire in the North of England. I just got in from a long, hard day at work and you three just made my day. Loved all your moves and comments. Thank you for cheering me up no end.

This song came out in 1976 and boy howdy did I dance my heart out on the dance floor. Great music! I'm 65 and still sing this song whenever I hear it, I can't dance to it (my body won't let me), but I can sure clap my hands to the beat.

Wild Cherry played at my sister's senior prom in 1976. Right after they blew up with Play That Funky Music. True story.

Loving the brothers throwing out their music knowledge too. Just shows the journey you all have been on.

Back in the day most keyboards could only produce one type of sound, so they would have several stacked up to give them versatility. That looks like a Hammond organ, a Fender Rhodes electric piano and a synthesizer stacked up. Today you could have one sampling keyboard that will deliver all of those sounds.

Spent my preteens at the skating rink skating to music like this. Great memories.

You guys were great in this video! I loved how you were getting into this great song. Thank you all for your input on this. I was 15 when this came out.

The lead singer lived a few miles from me. He apparently wrote the song on bar napkin after someone told him to "play some funky music" at at club.

OMG I love this oldie especially watching you and your brothers get your groove on!!! 💃Totally cracking me up! Priceless reaction guys, love it!☺

Danced my arse off every time this song came on!! I was 19 years old when it came out. The 70s were AWESOME!!!!

Yes! Jamal and his brothers getting into the music, music reactions on fire! I had so much fun and joy throughout this that I'm laughing and crying happy tears! The closest I think to the Black Betty reaction way back, marvelous! Thank you all for sharing in your joy of music, you all have that infectious passion for good music and this is such a perfect example!

This is one of the few songs from the Disco era that I will never get tired of. I'm so glad to know that it still makes people want to get up and dance after all of these years.

What a universal song. Everyone loves it.

One of the most undeniable songs ever written. Pure energy.

Perfect funk vibe. Nice and so simple, too. Makes for a classic.

Back in the day at the club everyone, EVERYONE, would shout “play that funky music “ good memories

Oh Jamel you and your brothers made my day!!! Dancing in my chair at the office and smiling all over. Thank you!!! ♥♥♥

Who could’ve imagined so much rhythm coming out of the great town of Steubenville, OH? This song has everyone dancing back in the day! Great memories to go with a great song and great band.✌️😎👍🎸

I remember when this jam came out, I thought it was a hard core funk group of brothers out of philly or jersey, but to my surprise it was some Italian boys out of Ohio, just goes to show never judge a book by it's cover, same goes with the average white band, turns out they we're some blokes out of scotland and I thought the same thing, funk group out of the eastern states, love it, thanks Jamal and brothers for the upload.

1980, I was riding my bike across DC and stopped at a red light. All of a sudden a bunch of 7-8 year old black kids were around me, dancing and singing, "play that funky music white boy..." it was so funny, they were so cute!

Omigosh y'all are crackin me up! You're right Jamal, you cannot sit still to this. Not a big fan of 70s disco type music, but songs like this are pretty dang cool

There's a whole story behind this song If you ever get bored look it up it's kind of a based on a true story

The bottom 2 keyboards are the Hammond organ, above that is an RMI Electric Piano, and on top is a Clavinet.

I used to see Wild Cherry almost every weekend in thearly 70s in the Weirton-Steubenville area. They were a cover band. I saw them at a pool in Follansbee after this song came out.

You three are a breath of fresh air.🍒🍒🍒

O M G YASSSSSS!!!! The Griffin Brothers dancin and singin is giving me LIFE!!! 🤣🤗🙌 Oh I'm watching this a couple more times!!! Laron has me dead 💀🤣

What a hoot! This whole reaction video has me smiling and laughing along with you! Thanks for posting guys!

Damn…this takes me back, way back!! Roller skating and dancing…love the funk!

Jamal, thanks for including us in your Funky Music party! You guys had me smiling and dancing in my chair the entire time! We had such great music then. Thanks for all you do to Keep Great Music Alive!

Love seeing y'all together having fun and talking all about the music.☮️

I love watching reactions from you and your brothers! I had their 8-track back in the day.

The bottom keyboard looks like Hammond B3, the middle keyboard looks like a Fender Rhodes piano, in the top keyboard might be a synthesizer. By the way, the three brothers are sure looking slick and handsome.

The music!! The hair!! It was an amazing musical time to be in your twenties!!!! The bar was set HIGH! ☮️❤️

You guys are having to much fun, love it great tune back in the day 💃🏽🕺🏻

Omg when you three were doing the bobbleheads! LoL 😂 please can we purchase y'all?! ❣️

I think it's just called a jumpsuit. Rik Emmett of Triumph used to wear one too, back in the day. That's another band you should check out if you haven't already. "Magic Power" "Lay It On The Line" are two of my favorites by them.

Jamal, it’s great seeing others on your videos, bring young and old alike together for these old tunes!

The Bros would also love The Average White Band!

LaRon was doing the "selfie" dance. No offense guys, but I was waiting for the couch to give out. You guys were bouncing around so hard I thought for sure the legs were going to fall off. What a fun reaction. Keep 'em coming.

Hi 💖✌️. That's a groovy jam ✌️✌️✌️✌️

Love the 70's music Jamel. ✌️

I always instantly click the like button when I see a reaction with your brother's chief... never fails to make me smile! What a great family unit, makes me wish I had brothers too...4 sisters and I am the only boy. Don't get me wrong, I adore my sister's... but geez that brotherly connection would be awesome! More boys reactions, please! :)

Love the AC/DC shirt! How can you NOT dance when you hear this? It’s one of those that you HAVE to dance to!

Great song from back in the day. Helen Reddy is LEGEND!! Her song I Am Woman became the women's lib movement.

1976 was the best year ever. I entered high school and this song came out. Yes, what a year!!

This was the song that taught me how to do that stanky dance in my teens. We tore up the teen disco floor to this & Ram Jam's Black Betty. Plus Michael Jackson just came out with "Rock with You." 🤘

You guys need to do more reactions together!

Oh man! We got down to the Funk

I might have to watch this 3 times so I can concentrate on each of you individually. Each face is too funny! I don't want to miss anything. Love how you enjoy the music and love how you make me laugh!! Thanks guys!

Loved watching your guys groove to the music. Your joy is contagious. Thanks for the smiles and couch dancing!

"Ooohhh" in stereo! Priceless! ❤ This is AWESOME!!! 😁Thanks for sharing Jamel! ~ APRIL LIPKE

Jumped on this fast as I could. Love watching you and your brothers. And this song and band is groovy too.

Brothers got soul!!! Can't get hotter!!

Yeah, we’re going to need to see more of the three of you dancing like that! 😂 That was wildly entertaining to watch. And I’m not talking about Wild Cherry. ☮️ 💜

Great reaction! I’m old enough to remember when “Play That Funky Music” first came out. It was the mid 70’s, and my friends and I were playing songs on the boombox. Suddenly this song started playing and I was instantly hooked. It was just one of those songs you can listen to over and over again, like “The Humpty Dance!” Life was fun back in the 70’s and 80’s. It was a great time to be alive. ☮️♥️ Again, great reaction..I really enjoyed it!

Thank you, @Jamel_AKA_Jamal. Those were just the hairstyles in the 70's. A LOT of people looked like that walking down the street.

The band didn't have that many hits, but the Lead Singer pretty much was able to retire very comfortably from the royalties just from this song. A few years ago he established a music scholarship for students in his old high school.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I was 16 when this came out. Thanks Jamel and brothers.

Always enjoy it when you have your brothers along for the reaction…. Great human beings.❤🎉😂

The mirror thing is Morris Day and the time. Absolutely one of my favorite artist. Pretty sure he did the whole primping in the mirror think in "the Bird" video.

I wanna see your younger brothers have a dance contest!

Darron's dance should be called "the selfie". The keyboard stack was an organ (probably a Hammond), a synthesizer, and may be Mellotron.

From my home state of Ohio, Donny Iris of the blue eyed soul band the Jaggerz, later; rock band the cruisers was in this group, but Ron Parisi of Steubenville wrote the song. Legend has it that during one live gig, some audience members kept teasing the band, and cajoling them to “play some funky music, white boys.” Parissi put pen to paper, and wrote “Play That Funky Music.” He based the lyrics on the band’s experiences being a hard-working rock and roll band in the age of disco.

The "mirror thing" was a surreal kind of "channeling Morris Day" moment.

So many great dance moves happening here--very creative, lol! Love you 3!

Another disco song i think you would enjoy is C.J & Co. Devils Gun...Not only a great song but has the notoriety of being the first song played at the opening of Studio 54 in 1977. Just be sure to listen to the longer version (around 7 minutes). this was a dancefloor favorite when i was spinning disks in the 70's and 80's. Wish I could get those days and music back again.

Love you brothers, you all remind of me and my 3 brothers one of which is in heaven now but you all just helped remember those fantastic moments , thank you my brothers.

It's official. This is my all-time favorite reaction video. I can't stop laughing, you guys are just so cool and real! 🌞

We believed music would always be this good, this joyful, so pleasure inducing. Damn.

I'm 70 and can remember seeing this live. Still a great song. Can't beat the '60s and '70s for music.

Man, the Midnight Special my generations MTV. I can't remember if it was on at midnight on Friday or Saturday. Whenever it was I'd be watching, unless I was out misbehaving.

You MUST check out Prince’s live Play That Funky Music/Hollywood Swinging(Kool and the Gang) medley from a concert a few years ago in LA. Over 10 minutes of thunderous booty shaking funk!!!!!

Love this song 💕 and love the reaction from you all. This is a great party song. Just have the room for people to break out their moves🤣

Back in the day, I used to listen to this on radio station CKLW out of Motown. I would dance across my kitchen with my young son. Can’t help but dance now at 67yrs young when that song starts up.

I have always loved Jamel,, I'm a 75 year old lady who lived through the best years of music on earth. I am now in love with the triple threat that we are being treated to with all these gentlemen. I even went to a taping of the Midnight Special the night Jim Croce performed. What a time it was....

He was doing the Jerome Benton mirror move!!! That was SO much fun to watch you guys boogieing down!!!!

The sound of my youth. Had just started college in 1976 and this reminds me of burning up the dance floor with my friends. Great funky tune and fantastic memories!

I am 71 and loved this group and WOW you guys really cracked me up with your comments ........thank you for this video

Bee Gees-Love You Inside Out & You Stepped Into My Life.

That poor sofa ain't near big enough for the 3 of you to start flailing around on, but it sure is contagious!

Love when the brothas realize you don’t need to be a brotha to funk!!! Thanks for the smile on my face😂

This made my day! 💃🕺

66 years old still dancing 🕺to this song Disco 🎵 Era

Great music huh. I love to see brothers reactions I love it!

Dance Party At Jamal's Place! 💜💜💜

Helen Reddy (ready). Big in the women's movements of the 70's. There was time in the 70's the guys wore vests with no shirts. KC and the Sunshine Band covered this and was played more. Friend of mine still argues who did it to this day. This was first

AAAAYYYYEEEE!!!❤️‍🔥🎶❤️‍🔥🎶❤️‍🔥🎶❤️‍🔥 MY Pops is a musician, and introduced me to them! I was born this year, too!! U CAN'T sit still to this unless ur already dead, lol!! LOVE IT!!

Best reaction to this EVER! That's why came back to see it again, when I needed to "move to the groove". Thanks for keeping me going in hard times! ❤

Oh yeah! Take me me back to the good old high school days. And they were dancing and singing and moving to the groove.

And a good time was had by all for all these years!

That was fun 👍🤣🤣🤣

You and your friends look adorable watching this! I have goosebumps! Love your intellect and taste in music!

Those 3 keyboards look like a Roland, a Rhodes electric piano, and a Hammond organ. The singer here is Elvin Bishop (plays guitar on FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE)

"Just be a good human". Right on!

A story on how they ( wild cherry) came up with this song... .. a black man ask them in a night club " are you going to play that funky music white boy". then the song was written. ❤❤❤❤

You guys are great together, love the way you enjoy the music. All three of you need to check out more videos!

I was 13 when this came out and bought the album. My dad liked it and played it over and over. Such an infectious hit song!
