I'm 68 and . My best time was the disco era. I danced to this song so many times. She's the best. ❤
This woman is phenomenal. I also love that she's not shy about dancing while she's singing!
Just saw her on "The Masked Singer". I knew that I'd heard the song before. I just didn't know who sung it. And when she got unmasked, she sang this song.
The bass guitar in this song is just epic! One of the best bass riffs of all time!
SERIOUSLY!!!!
A B S O L U T ! ! ! WOW !!!
I like the violin in the beginning
You are absolutely right!
The base line is absolutely crazy .. what a beautiful time these 70s/80s. We can feel the arrival of the disco too.
I love how casually she's dressed. It's like some soccer mom just got up out of the audience to unexpectedly DELIVER this song.
Thats what was the time we lived in .........happy .... enjoy ....and lots of joy and pleasure.....we loved eachother
Yes! It's refreshingly different and unexpected 🙂
That shows you how dominant the song is. No need for the visual aesthetics because the song is so strong on its own.
They probably didn't give her a budget for clothes, so she wore her own!!!❤❤❤
Yeah she seems like a soccer mom or something that was famous when she was young. And they were like is Timmys mom around? Can you sing that song for us? 😂
Nobody can touch Thelma Houston....I'm 77...she'll always be #1
She's smooth...
Nobody cares how old you are, people like always bore people with their age. No, you dont get a medal and you're not special.
I'm 54 what disserents does it make. Greetz from Holland.
One of the greatest disco songs of all time.
I tried to oppress Thelma with my White Supremacy super powers but she was too determined to succeed!
@@kirkmcgee1 I prefer Dafney myself.😃
i dunno if i would call it disco, but yes one of the greatest songs to come out of the mid seventies 💯 agree
@@Ourladyruleswhy don’t you think it’s disco? Just curious
@@sarahoc5952 hi Sarah, with the bass runs and riffs it just feels more like R+B/Soul to me. like at the edge of soul music before disco came about. either way its an awesome unforgettable historic song. thanks
The bassist did the job very well.
I listen since early1980.
I like how down-to-earth she dresses here. She feels no need to play the disco diva. She doesn’t have to. Her voice alone is enough. That tells me the woman has real confidence.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amen ❤️🙏💯👍
She is indeed a very natural beauty .❤❤❤
What a great song! Thelma has such a beautiful voice.
Now I'm 79 and feel the same way. Thelma with this song is a supreme classic...untouchable.
They really need to bring this back! Hands down top notch performance and song writing. Thelma is still on top in 2023!
One of the greatest voices I've ever heard in pop music.
Yes!! She’s fantastik!
yes agree, she makes your hair stand up
If there was ever a disco anthem,this was it.
Definitely top ten all-time.
agreed!
That and Freak Out
On the short list with “I Will Survive”, “Last Dance”, “The Hustle” and “Le Freak”. I don’t count the Saturday Night Fever stuff by The Bee Gees…that was transcendent.
R+B/Soul
one of the best disco records of all time
If not THE best. I swear its feels like any version of this track is amazing, it’s just so good!
I'am totally agree with you. Just a perfect long car ride song always put it on replay
@@elijahfluw4347 just ridiculous. Have you ever heard the original from Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes with the best singer ever Teddy Pendergrass? Of course not.
100th.
@SALADIN you got that right!
2024- Thelmas Vocals And Moves Together WithThis INSANE Bass Riff sends this 77's MASTERPIECE Into COMPLETE Oblivia!💯🔥🕺
This bass line was used in a few Motown dance smash hits like Diana's "Love Hangover". Rock on!!!
She was AWESOME on "The Masked Singer" !!!!
She was . And she was right- she did introduce herself to a new generation . I recognise this song but I had no idea who sung it before now ! Good on her for doing the show.
Not a big disco fan, but this song is audio butter. So good! Her voice sounds almost desperate and yet powerful at the same time. The bass line is amazing. This is music.
Honey! Disco was/is da bomb! Feel good music at it’s danciest finest!
If the song is good, genre doesn't matter.
What a voice Thelma Houston has. It's just so smooth and powerful. This will always be one of the best disco songs! 😊
Always loved her and this song.
A bassline amazing
I think it's Henry Davis, who also played on Diana Ross' "Love Hangover."
Disco needs to come back and FAST!!! Most of the music of the last 25 years has been a scourge on this planet
EXACTLY
Especially music the last 10 years
I wouldn’t say the last 25 but definitely the last 10 years.
Bigotred, racist, homophobic people destroyed this with the 'disco Sucks' movement
@@JazDickinson1 You are absolutely right
The way this song starts has always been something unique and special
Im 62 and still listening to this wonderful song. Its 2024 still love Thelma.
I have got to say. The dance floors at the Disco were FULL when this song came in. Iconic
truth
One of the best vocal intros EVER, fabulous!
This is probably one of the best songs of all the time and that bass change towards the end always kicks me off the couch and onto my feet.
Hello, She is a wonderful lady. I met her when she was touring in the 60's and before she became a big star My group had the great privilege to back her shows for two weekends here Cali.
One of the best intro of all time
That bass slaps!
Yeah.
First heard this at the theater watching Looking for Mr Goodbar in 1977. Still a favorite to this day.
Oh the memories!! Going back in time is a blessing and a curse.
The disco burner to end all disco hits.
Soulful, danceable with the incomparable Thelma Huston.
Unbeatable.
One of the better disco songs. My aunt and uncle danced to this cut when I brought it home from the record store. They really danced well and they enjoyed themselves. A fun evening.
So miss the Disco days, great dancing and fun.
This music brings back so many memories, and the dance steps never faded either. Beautiful voice and beautiful Lady.
MY MOM USE TO ALWAYS ,PLAY THIS SONG ,WHEN SHE WAS MAD AT MY ,DADDY O! She wore that record out!🤩
Sandy does listen back years
Sandy said lead my life
Thelma what an amazing voice
Best versión.
Namaste 🌞😎🙏🌐🔺💯💯
Thelma Houston is the EMPRESS OF DISCO. CLASSIC from the BEST year in music: our nation's bicentennial year: 1976!
Her voice is incredible!!!
The 70's were Epic Bro!!! I was ten years old jamming to this at family parties with all my cousins ..New York Italians Forever
Yes Yes Yes
This song is just KILLER! Her voice sets *my* soul on fire! Her voice to me feels like a river of smooth caramel, able to curve itself perfectly around the melody. Just amazing. 💗 I feel like I need to listen to all of her music now. And that bassline! The only regretful thing about this video is that we don't get to see the bassist work their magic. I'll be searching for more live versions of this! Thank you for posting this video! 💓💓💓
Love Thelma Houston, she was definately sidelined for what ever reason. Beautiful woman, sensational voice.
Yes
I'm a Metalhead and even *I* still love this song!!!! 💗
Gorgeous, I always loved this song when I was young and now
This is one of my all time favorite songs
Angelique Chemin same, I just can’t get tired of it. I’d dance to it to the end
A classic rediscovered. Love this woman ❤️
That first part of the song! That voice!
It makes we wanna cry 😭
So beautifully done!
I absolutely love the way this song starts off, this entire song always makes me feel amazing! I absolutely adore this beautiful treasure. Thelma was a beautiful lady with a beautiful voice❤
Denise me too hahaha!
I think she is still aroun
@@scottcampbell9283 Yes, she's got a lot of videos on here.

The beginning is awesome. I've been loving this song since it came out.
Way before “American Idol”... there was Miss Thelma Houston..an Idol for all time. Beautiful..
I really love this disco song, thank you Thelma
2:40 i love the sideways slide with the bass riff. Just spectacular!
And thats where the clavinet starts to sound. The extasi!
So funny- I had that same response! Plus I think I could do it too!
Don't leave me this way, oh the memories! A truly great song. Thelma Houston, bravo to you!!
Amazing bass line. Only disco music can bring it.
Not just a song....a spiritual thang!!!❤️
Thank you. We must be kindred spirits. You spoke the words I meant☺🤗
If this woman sings in her sleep...much better than the best female vocalist today. Wow!
A timeless classic that never gets old...
A real disco dance “anthem”!
Turn it up to feel the power!!!
Can’t never get enough ❤️❤️❤️
One of the greatest disco tracks Motown ever put out. Hard to beat it.
Love that humming at the beginning of song so relaxing and soothing 🎶
Saw her just 4-5 years ago and still sounds great!
Around 2002 I was walking by a karaoke bar in West Hollywood CA and heard the lead in for this song. Once the singing started I was like...this sounds like Thelma Houston singing, and it was! I ran in and sang along and danced while she sang. I'll never forget it!
What a voice and a great dance song
This is a beautiful magnificent party song I Love It love seeing classic videos like this what a beautiful sister do you thing Queen🔥🔥🔥🔥
SATISFY THE NEED IN ME.DON'T LEAVE ME THIS WAY.

não cansamos de elogiar, Thelma Houston e todos aqueles músicos que deram a sua contribuição para que pudéssemos desfrutar desta obra maravilhosa...viva à boa música, valeu! 🎸🎤 🎹
That voice, lyrics, presentation and musical sound with the chorus: Whew!
aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHH BAAAAABY when it kicks in this tune had a whole group of girls we went out with go INSANE on the dance floor when we brought them out. None of them were born before this song came out.
Wow these were the best times . Classic what a voice, music from 70, 80, , the 🌎 was at peace, what a great era it was to be on this earth
Great soul disco , fine bassline
Best of motown....fantastic!
Don't forget Diana Ross. Three Degress & others - with more Soul-like voices!
She can sing and dance for her song without losing a step.
Another planet , the best music period.
