RIP to both of these great guys. I had the pleasure of knowing one of them very personally because he is my father, David Williams. The record label (Kichelle) was named after my sister and I...Kimberly and Michelle.
well, thanks to your Dad for giving so much listening and dancing pleasure; I just loved this record when it came out and I'm sure I'm not alone. Far as I'm concerned it's right up there with any of the great tracks by Chic as far as groove and dance-floor appeal are concerned. "Don't Hold Back" is very much alive in my collection of great tunes!
This is crazy!! I used to listen to this song when i was a young chold. Couldnt never find it!!! Ever! Then i was watching a show on youtube called the Bass Mint, i kept hearing the name James Jamerson..finally saw his interview and heard him say, i had a hit song called "Dont Hold Back" and i almost fell out my chair!!!! I even remember the record art. This has really mad my day! Your father David Williams has really played a part in my life, i too am a musician as was inspired by this song!!! Blessing to you and your entire family. Wow!!!!!!! I cant put into words what just happened!
Cool Michelle !!!! Love all the work from your Dad. Always when Billie Jean or Stand back (Stevie Nicks) comes on radio, I say HI to him :-) Love & peace to you from Switzerland
Michelle, I just wanted to let you know that I loved your fathers masterful playing very much. His playing created the music that many of millions of people love, and will remember for all of the time we remain on this planet. I'm so sorry for your loss, as I know it had to be very hard on you're family. God Bless You, and Many Regards!!
Don't hold back If it feels good, do it Don't hold back Don't hold back If it feels good Don't hold back If you want to shout And dance all around Don't hold back Said if you want to party Party, party, party Don't hold back Don't hold back If it feels good, do it Don't hold back Don't hold back If it feels good Don't hold back If you want to change your mind And it feels good, do it Don't hold back And if the music makes you move Stand up, do the groove Don't hold back Don't hold back If it feels good, do it Don't hold back Don't hold back If it feels good Don't hold back Don't hold back If it feels good, do it Don't hold back Don't hold back If it feels good Don't hold back Don't hold back If it feels good, do it Don't hold back Don't hold back If it feels good Don't hold back Don't hold back If it feels good, do it Don't hold back Don't hold back If it feels good Don't hold back
Michelle your father was legendary!! my uncle Donald enjoyed this record he passed away in 1980 when I was 8 I remember this jam playing while being in his car !! now I'm 50 time goes by fast , take care and God bless!!
Such a quality tune from 1979. A real disco classic! Love the fact this reached 21 on the billboard hot 100 in 1978 and then reached 33 in the uk top 40 in early 1979. Underated and superb!
Michelle Johnson, I knew both of them, they use to live together in the valley of LA. David met me through a friend, he was such a wonderful human being. Very talented I miss him dearly. He use to talk about his kids all the time. RIP James Jamerson Jr. & David William
The warrios me trouxe aqui, achei essa música faz um tempo aqui no CZcams, eu amo The warriospra caralho marcou tanto minha infância n consigo explicar, essa música é raiz nostálgica que nem The warrios pikaaaaa
The Warriors é sensacional. Uma pena que num seja um jogo tão conhecido pela galera. Mas é o jogo mais importante pra mim, junto com GTA Vice City. Sabe por que? As trilhas sonoras são perfeitas!!! Além de toda história e a jogabilidade, claro.
@@hilderlanpinheiro3905 concordo meu mano, merecia mt mais reconhecimento sem desmerecer o gta mas na minha opinião é melhor. A minha história com esse jogo/filme é imensa difícil até de explicar com palavras sem força msm!
R.I.P. Renowned bassist for Motown and many others James Jamerson Jr. Like his father before him, he was one of the best. Bass kicks on "Don't Hold Back".
Yo había terminado el colegio....y esta cancion de Chanson no sólo sonaba en las radios sino q se bailaba en EL TIBURÓN de la Costa Verde en Lima: A finales de los 70´s: Q tales recuerdos:
one of my favorites of the disco era...first heard this on American Bandstand and also have the original 45 I bought in 78...thanks for the long version.
THIS IS PURE DISCO MADNESS YOU HAVE JAMMING... WHAT A FANTASTIC TRAX! THE SOUL THAT EMERGES FROM THIS GEM IS AMONG THE VERY BEST FROM THE DISCO ERA.. TOP SHELF MATERIAL MY FRIEND.. KEEP EM COMIN!
This is version that I had the luck of catch up on the the net...there are 3 versions on the net Original 4:23 from their album Chanson from 1978...the 12" is just the duration with a different beginning , even the Glen Rivera mix it's different on the beginning and time duration so thumbs up to this remixer!....this version is obviously a "bootleg" version and I Love It!
Hadn't thought about this record nor have i played it in years...so sad i had to hear about James' death before i went to youtube to reminisce....my condolences to the Jamerson family and as a bassist myself when i think about all the great bassists i never ever considered Jr but i always name his dad but Jr was just as funky and raw and i'm kinda mad at myself for sleeping on him and not seeing LIVE him when i had the chance...may father and son rest in eternal sleep always
just heard this song on Sirius and couldn't stop jamming ... had to come to work to hear it again.... memories ohhh sweet memories...thanks for the upload
I had this song stuck in my head today. Couldn't really remember the lyrics, so I was having a nightmare trying to find it. I heard it on the radio not so long ago, but there was a nagging feeling that I'd heard it somewhere else, as well. I thought it might be The Warriors, but I've got the soundtrack, and it's not on that. Then I remembered it was in the game, in the disco where you're trying to find a big fuck off hat. So relieved to find it. Now I can get on with my life.
Michelle Johnson, I knew both of them as they were roommate's in the valley David Williams was a great soul and very often talked about his children. James Jamison were two perfect soul. I really like those two especially your Dad. I thought he died in Chicago of a heart attack I am not sure what happen to James Jamison but my they both rest in peace.
Rare is correct. I bought in on the standard 45 when it came out. This needed to be longer. It's the main reason giant 45 were made in the first place. Us DJ's and the people screamed for long versions of great tracks. Thanks!

One of the baddest jams from the 70's. I'm a guitar and bass player, and the difficulty of the riffs those guys played is stellar!

RIP to these dudes. The bassist is the son of the motown bassist the late Great James Jamerson. He could hold his own. His pops taught him well
WOW JUST WOW!!!!!!!!
RIP James Jamerson Jr. You and your dad will keep the groove going in heaven for sure.
I was 10 years old when this came out.

I owe it to them , among other greats… for the Funk musicians my brothers and I became … you are so blessed Michelle 🙏❤️😊
Sweet memories of this groove invokes tears of joy of a fun filled middle school high school life of disco funk..
I truly love the songs of the old days when my parents were younger. They got me into this kind of music. Old school music FTW!
