A hit for Tina in 1976 (I was 12 years old). We danced to this one every night at the Youth club. Tina had another hit that same year with " Dance Little Lady Dance"
I Love to Love was Tina Charles's first hit under her own name...and a UK number 1,in the spring of 1976. The biggest of the other hits she had afterwards were Dance Little Lady and Dr Love. Hearing this song again in recent times,the strength of her vocals stands out to me more than I appreciated at the time these were hits. I can say the same for some of the Three Degrees' songs.
When she was 16 she appeared every week in the first series of the two Ronnie's! BRITISH COMEDY. SHE SUNG LIKE HER LIFE DEPENDED ON IT. WHAT A VOICE❤ 😮
SO Happy y’all are listening to this gem! Tina is one of my favorite 70s artists! Other songs of hers to definitely listen to are “dance little lady,” “you set my heart on fire,” “dr. Love,” and with her band 5000 volts “I’m on fire” and “bye love”!!! Lots of love to both you guys!!!
OMG - This brings back memories! I used to go regularly to a South London nightclub in the 70s. I was madly in love with a guitarist of the resident group that played there. Tina Charles, who is from London, used to go to this nightclub. On new year's eve 1976, she was invited to sing this song on stage. She married 'my' guitarist- arghh!
I feel like I’ve died and went to heaven! This is a favorite from my childhood. She is a classic example of fine British disco! I think I suggested this a while back. Please review her follow-up “I’ll go Where Your Music Takes Me”
Tina Charles' breakthrough song was DANCE LIL LADY DANCE. It was a banger back in the day (the mid 70s) It was a HUGE hit here in India as it was compossed by an Indian - Biddu.
One thing that is so nice on here are the reactions from all over the world, showing the impact music has to all of us, uniting us for a minute or four. This gem of a disco song was huge in Germany too. Never get tired of listening to Tina letting those notes out. Have a good day you all.

I love how this channel puts the highlight on old classic songs such as this. Tina Charles was a talented vocalist who worked as a session musician for many years so was always "behind the scenes" rather than being in the public eye. She had her debut recording "Good To Be Alive" back in 1969 with an unknown Elton John playing piano for her and she was a backing vocalist (together with her friend Linda Lewis) on the Cockney Rebel's "Make Me Smile (Come Up and See Me)" Congrats guys on your amazing videos. You two are like the sunshine coming out on a cloudy day.
Of course you havent. They only take requests from their British Patreon on fans. This channel lost many people a long time ago with obscure songs that reflect nothing.
@@auldfouter8661 agreed. There's a tonne of music the yanks haven't heard of, but try to tell them 😐🥱 This was a big hit in Australia too. Still have the 45.
She had a few hits, her first two was with the band '5000 Volts' with "I'm On Fire" and "Dr Kiss Kiss", as a solo artist, "Dance Little Lady Dance" and "Dr Love", she had other songs but these were her biggest.
Fallin' in love in the summertime is another of my favourite songs from her. I listened to a lot of her songs when I lived in Peru, there were many radio stations (and they still are I believe) that played her songs and songs of the 60', 70', 80', etc. This song I love to love I really loved when I was a kid, her pitch is like a child and I was a child so I imagine myself singing that song and doing Karaoke with my siblings, i did not see what she looked like many years later. Good times 😊
Massive, massive hit back in the day, booming out of our radios several times a day, and guaranteed to fill the dance floors. Makes me feel old when I read the comments saying they've never heard it before, but at least I've got all my memories.
Previously had a hit with group 5000 Volts (I'm on Fire) further hits with Dance little lady dance, You set my heart on fire, I'll go where the music takes me, Dr Love..
One of my childhood favourites...That famous disco guitar sound and a little trivia; when Tina Charles recorded her first single, among the hired musicians was a certain, back then, unknown Elton John on piano..
I never heard this song back in the day…it wasn’t until I watched the British crime series River with Stellan Skarsgård and Nicola Walker that it crossed my path. I really loved it and was very excited to see your reaction to it when I saw your CZcams notification this eve. Thanks for picking this song:) ❤
Thank you so much for this reaction guys! I was waiting a long time for this. If you liked this one, you should listen to "You Set My Heart On Fire" too, it's another great song from Tina Charles.
This song is great! I also love the Nolans' I'm in the mood for dancing. If you haven't check it out yet, please do so. Love you both! More power and God bless.
She sings a song for the group 5000 Volts called 'I'm on Fire' and her vocals there are fantastic. She's got a real rasp to her voice on that track when she kicks it into gear.
I used to go to Cinderella's in Purley, Surrey every weekend. Once when this song was everywhere Tina was at the club and I remember her singinng this dong live st the club, she sounded even better live. Lovely memory of my younger days in the 70''s 🏴
This was her biggest hit by far - great vocal - she was uncredited on the 5000 volts song I'm on Fire due to contractural reasons and that's probably the next best one to look at next time. She did backing vocals on Come up and see me and make me smile along with Linda Lewis - Linda's Rock a Doodle doo worth a review
OMG - such memories. 1976, living in Nairobi, Kenya at an 8th Grade Disco party dancing under the stars, and someone played this song, and we collectively lost it. What a great song and great memory. #Disco1976
Tina Charles - a London girl. Two other British female vocalists from the seventies - Janet Kay who had a massive hit in 1979 with Silly Love and Joan Armatrading, a fantastic singer-guitarist-composer who had countless hits but the one that started it all off was Love and Affection
Half a million any day now... congrats!!! You have been pleasantly bringing good vibes to my evenings since Amber was still pregnant! Thanks! Now this brought me back to when I was 16... still a few years before hitting the clubs and Discos. Mark Morrison with "Return of the Mack" is a song I just heard and you might enjoy... from 1996, I think.

This girl and voice got around as you can see below. She also backed 'Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel' in 'Come Up And See Me (Make Me Smile)', with Linda Lewis another solo disco singer made good..
I love your reactions to 70's music ! I'm born on 1967 , now 56 and I thank god to grew up in the 70's ! Greetings from Germany . Check out this song !! WHY DID YOU DO IT ELASTIQUE
I first heard this song on the British tv miniseries “River” and fell in love with it. It’s actually my husband (of 40 years) ringtone! It’s fun, easy to listen to, and describes my hubby well 😆
finally TINA CHARLES !!! ... *yippie* ... it's so typical disco dance music, also love the 1993 remix-version from 'I love 2 love' and the song: 'dance little lady dance' ... in the same time, there's another fabules female disco singer, named => Luisa Fernandez with: 'give love a second chance' and/or 'lay love on you' 🙂
Yes, you will now have to react to her other main hit - Dance Little Lady Dance - just for the most " grooviest " tight black jump suit conductor, with the guitarist in front of him, laughing - classic !!! 😂
The first time I heard of Tina Charles was with the song "You set my heart on fire". It made a big impression on me. Love to love is also a good song, but my memories mainly go to "You set my heart on fire".
Thank you ..thank you so much for this reaction....I wanted it for so long..I am glad you liked her. Tina Charles was the queen of disco for a while in many countries..competing with Donna Summer and all the big names she shined ..we loved all her hits...much much love to you and your family..
I remember being rather smitten with Tina Charles when I saw her performance on one particular edition of, 'Top of the Pops.' I'm not sure whether it was this song, or her other big hit, 'Dance Little Lady Dance.' This style of music was quite popular in the middle part of the 70's, when Glam Rock was on the wane and Disco hadn't quite got going. There's definitely elements of it here, but it hasn't quite been perfected to the sound that would become known as full-on disco. I remember other songs by her, like, 'Love Bug', and, 'Dr. Love.'
She's the queen of disco- reggae during the late 70s . She's also effective on ballads, her range is incredible but underrated ❤ her producer is biddu who introduced reggae- disco music to the UK during that era. I have 3 of her albums and it's really groovy ✨🥰. You should react to her version of AMAZING GRACE - audio only. You'll get goosebumps 👍👍👍
As a teenager of '70s, I always wonder who invented the lyrics of this song. As far as I remember, the situation in disco clubs was just the opposite: All the girls were there just to dance (well, at least that's what they all claimed), whereas we guys were all after something else...
She was a great session musician, being on a lot of 70's hits, and thankfully she had success for herself. I had a little crush on her in my early teens.
Another great vocalist from around the same time as Tina Charles, & also huge in the UK, was Linda Lewis. Like Tina, she was a real 'Disco-Queen', & had the most incredible voice! Her biggest hit was a cover of 'The shoop shoop song (it's in his kiss)' The wonderfully theatrical 'I'd be surprisingly good for you' She also charted with 'Rock a doodle do'! She performed backing vocals with many of the biggest stars in the music business too, like Bowie, Cat Stevens, Rod Stewart, & Joan Armatrading. Sadly, she passed away recently, at the age of 72, but those of us who were around in the early 70's will always remember that beautiful big voice, coming out of that tiny little girl from Essex!! 😍
My mom was a back up singer for Tina
Tina Charles was a British Disco artist That took this song to number one in 1976.
A hit for Tina in 1976 (I was 12 years old). We danced to this one every night at the Youth club. Tina had another hit that same year with " Dance Little Lady Dance"
😂 I was 12 in that year too, and we tried all sorts of disco moves to this song, and Dance little lady 😅
I was 11 years I first heard this song on The Benny Hill show ..I always thought the singer was American beautiful powerful voice
Did she not sing Dr Love as well?
@@purplehague65 yes she did sing Dr love too👍
I Love to Love was Tina Charles's first hit under her own name...and a UK number 1,in the spring of 1976. The biggest of the other hits she had afterwards were Dance Little Lady and Dr Love.

I loved The Two Ronnie's! Fork handles/four candles skit was steller! And their opening monologues.
This is the definition of 70s disco… I can still see my sister getting down to this track
In Barranquilla, Colombia we still listen to this classic.Beautiful !!
SO Happy y’all are listening to this gem! Tina is one of my favorite 70s artists! Other songs of hers to definitely listen to are “dance little lady,” “you set my heart on fire,” “dr. Love,” and with her band 5000 volts “I’m on fire” and “bye love”!!! Lots of love to both you guys!!!
SURE, CONGRATULATIONS, I LOVE TINA !!!!
OMG - This brings back memories! I used to go regularly to a South London nightclub in the 70s. I was madly in love with a guitarist of the resident group that played there. Tina Charles, who is from London, used to go to this nightclub. On new year's eve 1976, she was invited to sing this song on stage. She married 'my' guitarist- arghh!
This was never off the radio, huge UK hit.. reminds me of primary school, all the kids were always singing it
I feel like I’ve died and went to heaven! This is a favorite from my childhood. She is a classic example of fine British disco! I think I suggested this a while back. Please review her follow-up “I’ll go Where Your Music Takes Me”
Tina Charles' breakthrough song was DANCE LIL LADY DANCE. It was a banger back in the day (the mid 70s)
It was a HUGE hit here in India as it was compossed by an Indian - Biddu.
One thing that is so nice on here are the reactions from all over the world, showing the impact music has to all of us, uniting us for a minute or four.
This gem of a disco song was huge in Germany too. Never get tired of listening to Tina letting those notes out.
Have a good day you all.

I have never heard of her or heard this song, but wow, she does have an amazing voice!
This was no 1 in the UK charts for weeks ..
I love how this channel puts the highlight on old classic songs such as this. Tina Charles was a talented vocalist who worked as a session musician for many years so was always "behind the scenes" rather than being in the public eye.

Congrats guys on your amazing videos. You two are like the sunshine coming out on a cloudy day.
She was HUGE in UK. She also went to my school, though few years ahead of me. But Tina could belt it out.
She had a handful of hits in Europe and New Zealand, but for whatever reason never charted in the US.
Very prominent in Australia also.
In The Netherlands this was a big 70's song/hit too. They even released a newer version of this song somewhere in the 80's.
BILLBOARD HAS INCLUDED ONLY AMERICANS PERFORMERS IN DISCO TOP 40 HITS IN ALL THE DISCO YEARS, TINA WAS EXCLUDED UNFAIRLY!!!
Her vocal compression is insane
She was quite big in Australia in the 70’s with a string of hits
I don’t think I’ve ever heard this. She does have a sweet voice.
Never heard this one at least consciously.
I definitely have never heard this. She is a British disco singer. So that is my #1 excuse.
Of course you havent. They only take requests from their British Patreon on fans. This channel lost many people a long time ago with obscure songs that reflect nothing.
@@brewfront Definitely not an obscure song. There's a whole world outside of the USA.
@@auldfouter8661 agreed. There's a tonne of music the yanks haven't heard of, but try to tell them 😐🥱
This was a big hit in Australia too. Still have the 45.
You guys are filling the imaginary dance floors today, this is a disco gem. Reactions like this are why you will hit 500K subscribers any day now. ✌️
I loved the song "I'm on fire" by "5000 volts" band, Tina Charles provided vocals for this single.
She had a few hits, her first two was with the band '5000 Volts' with "I'm On Fire" and "Dr Kiss Kiss", as a solo artist, "Dance Little Lady Dance" and "Dr Love", she had other songs but these were her biggest.
Now you're bringing back memories! ❤❤❤
@@AndreDMalan1966Yes, "I'm on Fire" was a massive hit when it was released, I'm glad that she got a career of her own after she left them.
5,000 Volts only used Tina's voice and had another girl miming to it. It was quite a scandal when this was found out.
@@jrswinhoe58 Yes, I remember that at the time, it was in all the newspapers. Still an amazing song, it was everywhere, such energy.
Fallin' in love in the summertime is another of my favourite songs from her. I listened to a lot of her songs when I lived in Peru, there were many radio stations (and they still are I believe) that played her songs and songs of the 60', 70', 80', etc. This song I love to love I really loved when I was a kid, her pitch is like a child and I was a child so I imagine myself singing that song and doing Karaoke with my siblings, i did not see what she looked like many years later. Good times 😊
I remember well those times when I lived in Lima. Great music on the radio at that time. Saludos desde Suiza
Never heard this little cutie sing before, I bet her voice got even better with age.👍👏👏👏🥰🌺🌹
She has a great voice! Not heard of her before. ✌
Massive, massive hit back in the day, booming out of our radios several times a day, and guaranteed to fill the dance floors.
Makes me feel old when I read the comments saying they've never heard it before, but at least I've got all my memories.
Well, I think I have all my memories and I haven't heard of this artist. Was she a one-hit wonder?
Previously had a hit with group 5000 Volts (I'm on Fire) further hits with Dance little lady dance, You set my heart on fire, I'll go where the music takes me, Dr Love..
One of my childhood favourites...That famous disco guitar sound and a little trivia; when Tina Charles recorded her first single, among the hired musicians was a certain, back then, unknown Elton John on piano..
Love this song,beautiful voice,easy listening and catchy as hell
I never heard this song back in the day…it wasn’t until I watched the British crime series River with Stellan Skarsgård and Nicola Walker that it crossed my path.
I really loved it and was very excited to see your reaction to it when I saw your CZcams notification this eve. Thanks for picking this song:) ❤
I loved, loved this back in the day. Then I heard it used in the absolutely amazing British series "River" and I loved it even more!
“River” was the first time that I ever heard it and it stood out
Tina Charles one of the BEST !!!
That song was a huge hit in Quebec when I was ten years old. It introduced all of us to disco!
You set my heart on fire is another showcase of her superb voice.
In 1976, Tina filled the dance floors. Disco was the best in the UK and USA at the time.
Thank you so much for this reaction guys! I was waiting a long time for this. If you liked this one, you should listen to "You Set My Heart On Fire" too, it's another great song from Tina Charles.
This song is great! I also love the Nolans' I'm in the mood for dancing. If you haven't check it out yet, please do so.
Love you both! More power and God bless.
Dance little lady dance Tina Charles
I remember this song. Big hit in Australia

Soooo naturally pretty too miss Tina Charles
I remember this; never paid it much attention at the time but she does have a good voice.
Love Tina ! Elton John backed her on her early singles - check out Rendezvous.
Love 💖 Tina Charles “Dr Love “ is my favourite
I was 7 when this song came out in Montreal, Canada. I still listen it.
Those were the days, I grew up in the disco days. Great dance music. 🎶🎶🎶🎶
This song takes me back to my childhood ❤
OMG - such memories. 1976, living in Nairobi, Kenya at an 8th Grade Disco party dancing under the stars, and someone played this song, and we collectively lost it. What a great song and great memory. #Disco1976
Mark me down as another one whose never heard of her before, but I agree with you guys and others. What an incredible voice!
ooh yeah, the gorgeous Tina - I was 14 when this came out
Tina Charles - a London girl. Two other British female vocalists from the seventies - Janet Kay who had a massive hit in 1979 with Silly Love and Joan Armatrading, a fantastic singer-guitarist-composer who had countless hits but the one that started it all off was Love and Affection
Remembering “You Set My Heart on Fire”, too! 🔥 Amber would love the horns in this track!!!!!
This is my first time too! Sweet voice! Pretty song! I will have to check out Miss Tina!
Oh. In the ‘70s my sister absolutely loved Tina. She was big here in Australia.
Love this song .
Especially the way she says' Button' my baby wants to dance 😁👍🎶
A happy song at a happy time
This reminds me of the family watching T.O.T.P every week . Childhood memories ❤
This song was played a lot on The Benny Hill Show a British comedy from the 70s. You should watch some of them
Half a million any day now... congrats!!! You have been pleasantly bringing good vibes to my evenings since Amber was still pregnant! Thanks! Now this brought me back to when I was 16... still a few years before hitting the clubs and Discos.
Mark Morrison with "Return of the Mack" is a song I just heard and you might enjoy... from 1996, I think.

I’m loving velvet and versatile 70s voices like Tina Charles, Yvonne Elliman and Donna Summer. Bliss 🥰
In Spain was N°1 . Tina's voice fantastic .
We have Tina Charles’s tape,she’s amazing ❤
How can You NOT want to... Dance!!!

WHY DID YOU DO IT
ELASTIQUE
I first heard this song on the British tv miniseries “River” and fell in love with it. It’s actually my husband (of 40 years) ringtone! It’s fun, easy to listen to, and describes my hubby well 😆
finally TINA CHARLES !!! ... *yippie* ... it's so typical disco dance music, also love the 1993 remix-version from 'I love 2 love' and the song: 'dance little lady dance' ... in the same time, there's another fabules female disco singer, named => Luisa Fernandez with: 'give love a second chance' and/or 'lay love on you' 🙂
OMG, 2 things come to mind. I had so forgotten this song and I appreciate disco so much more now than I did in the 70’s.
I love love love this song - one of my all time faves and my Husband ( who is Greek ) loves it too and had never heard it until I played it
The next tina charles song should be You set my heart on my fire. So groovy and you get more of that amazing voice control! Also more pop oriented!
'I love to love but my baby loves to dance'. I love this song🙂
I love Tina Charles, thanks for posting
A combination of a beatiful voice and the arrenjment of bidu (indian composer).
Another early disco classic from England, hugely popular in the clubs back around 1975/76…
Yes, you will now have to react to her other main hit - Dance Little Lady Dance - just for the most " grooviest " tight black jump suit conductor, with the guitarist in front of him, laughing - classic !!! 😂
Takes me back to my childhood, love this song ❤
Great song. This was my "earworm" last year. It's featured in a British mystery series "River" on PBS. Thx guy❤
The first time I heard of Tina Charles was with the song "You set my heart on fire". It made a big impression on me. Love to love is also a good song, but my memories mainly go to "You set my heart on fire".
Thank you ..thank you so much for this reaction....I wanted it for so long..I am glad you liked her. Tina Charles was the queen of disco for a while in many countries..competing with Donna Summer and all the big names she shined ..we loved all her hits...much much love to you and your family..
The only thing missing now is The Nolan Sisters with I'm in the mood for dancing.
One of the most euphoria-inducing disco songs
Great production and playing from that London team.
I remember being rather smitten with Tina Charles when I saw her performance on one particular edition of, 'Top of the Pops.' I'm not sure whether it was this song, or her other big hit, 'Dance Little Lady Dance.' This style of music was quite popular in the middle part of the 70's, when Glam Rock was on the wane and Disco hadn't quite got going. There's definitely elements of it here, but it hasn't quite been perfected to the sound that would become known as full-on disco. I remember other songs by her, like, 'Love Bug', and, 'Dr. Love.'
She always put me in mind of the dark haired dancer in Pans People, Ruth Pearson.
Those who know and or remember, was there a dance to this rhytm ? It is on several hits of the 70's. Thanks !
Great voice
This song was number 1 in the UK charts the day I was born 🫶🏼
Amber. This has been a kick ass Friday girl. Thanks so much. Another blaster from the past…er…..I dig
A popular British singer of i think the mid 70's, also popular here in Australia.
499K!💥 LET'S GOOOO!💯 A million thanks for all the smiles you put on my face!😁🤗❤️✌️
I remember this charting as a child in South Africa in the 70s

I wish you too Jay and Amber a very happy free prosperous new year. I wish the same thing for everybody in the comments🙂
I love to see comments from all over the world. Music brings us together🎶🎵💖💝💗🫶✌️
Another one from my youth . Love watching you two dance to these toe tappers lolllllll
She was one of the backing vocalists on Make Me Smile by Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel
Another great vocalist from around the same time as Tina Charles, & also huge in the UK, was Linda Lewis.
Like Tina, she was a real 'Disco-Queen', & had the most incredible voice!
Her biggest hit was a cover of 'The shoop shoop song (it's in his kiss)'
The wonderfully theatrical 'I'd be surprisingly good for you'
She also charted with 'Rock a doodle do'!
She performed backing vocals with many of the biggest stars in the music business too, like Bowie, Cat Stevens, Rod Stewart, & Joan Armatrading.
Sadly, she passed away recently, at the age of 72, but those of us who were around in the early 70's will always remember that beautiful big voice, coming out of that tiny little girl from Essex!! 😍
