my dad was on his death bed and was trying to say backstroke. he mumbled youtube so i youtubed it. this song came up and was the one he was talking about. that was the first time i heard this song. he could barley talk or move but he didnt fail to tap his finger along to the beat like he always used to. it was his last request and i will never forget this song. i miss you and i love you dad!
😔
Fuck bro, my deepest condolences!!!
But, if your father loved this track then he obviously had great taste in music, now I’m curious to hear his playlist. He’s an OG. Good night and a Happy New Year to you and your family,
that funk will make anybody move !!

Beautiful so blessed you are
That bass groove intro one of the dopest ever
So dope that Roger copied it in the breakdown of "Doo Wa Ditty":

@@BassByTheBay True. Excellent sample sourcing bro.
Roger was definitely lookin' for that good stuff.
I remember being a teenager and listening to this at my uncles juke joint. Man its still hittin' today.
Allday 🎉
Yes I still bang these Vinyl
I’ll say it until the day I die. The 80’s was the best era ever!!
Amen to that ❤
60s, and 70s were great as well.
This came out about 78 or 79 . 78 - 2009 was lite 80s for sure 🎉🎉😂
Still jamming in 2024 in my Baby Sister’s
memory ❤😢♥️😌💫👏✨🌟⚡️!
This is the song my dad won the most trophies in roller skating to in his youth. Now he's over 50 and still got it. Love you dad
Amazing I'm 56 can't do what i use to do my hat OFF to HIM. Lol. All men who have children is a father, i love when you said my dad..lol. He must have a great influence in your life great. Just do me a small favor call him allways and say i love you i said it first and hang up the phone HE well love it.. And when he try calling you back don't answer it...lol
If you really want to blow his mind send him a CARD saying IF GOD STRIKES MY EYES BLIND your love I'll still see.. Because this how much your love means to me i love you dad..lol
Dad is definitely that guy💃🏿
This is the song my dad smokes crack to

I forgot about this song until I saw it in a random video. I've now listened to it about 10 times in a row. Great beat!!!
20 years old and love listening to the music that raised me. Always makes me reminisce on my past and how good times were
I am now 60 years old and infinitely grateful that I have been able to enjoy this brilliant music since the early 70s to this day.
Thomas , German
Nah , the early 80's this came out 2 tone

@@sonyadrake7843 I PLAYED DRUMS IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT COWBELL WAS THE LICK BACK IN THE DAY
Another old school classic to get your skate on to..this jam would come at the roller rink and the whole rink would be skating backwards that was the bomb back in the day
I heard the instrumental in a HGTV series and it brought up some good memories. This is a classic groove song!
Why the hell did this song pop in my head at 2am? Things my mom played when I was a kid have a habit of doing that😆 So...here I am. May as well make the best of it. After all, it is the jam. 🔥💃🏽👯♀️🎼🎺🎸🎤🎹🤣
mindboggler797 me too lol
Just thought about this song and play it
Cause your horny!! Welcome to the club!!lol

40 YEARS LATER and this groove is still kickin'. Summer 1980.
18yo and losing that thing you only lose once on the beach after high school graduation and Fatback providing the score to match a beautiful time. 42 years later, I saw her at a concert in NYC and time hadn't tarnished the sweetness of 4 decades past. Both happily married, I'm pretty sure our respective lifemates knew the deal, and they both gave us an approving smile. No words, no introduction, just a quick hug and, "So good to see you." My, oh my. That backstroke! 💖😊
Yess sirrr!!!!
Either this jam is fire 🔥 or new music sucks
You know it. Grandmaster Caz mentioned this song on Drink Champ 🍸
Super rhyme
I was looking for that good stuff and here I am!

Came to listen to this because my pops practically raised me on stuff like this. I haven't heard this since i was a little kid. When i first heard this i thought it was annoying when i was younger. Now I CAN'T STOP DANCING TO THIS! Damn near had an out of body experience dancing to this. This is the shit! I love this. It's nice to revisit classics like this.
this comment is the Shit hahah
Big Marc hm
Booo
Tightening up your backstroke👍still the jam👏👏hey,

Touchè
Wow 7:01 am for me exactly while i listened & read comment.
Born in ‘89 and this music is before my time but it’s timeless 🙏🏽🙌🏽 ⏰
Born in 95 this is better than the shit now
NOW THIS IS THE REAL FUNK. NO STUDIO TRICKS JUST REAL MUSICIANS! THEY SHOULD HAVE NEVER TAKEN MUSIC OUT OF SCHOOLS!
F A C T S (message!!)
They don’t want educated inner cities or kids with good math skills
Through the pearly gates doin' the backstroke - he was welcomed with open arms , I'm tellin' you bro
It is what it is, Thank God its on record and will be with us always.
Thank you
When I'm getting ready for school dis is what I'm bumping on the speaker at 6 in da morning
love this song there's never a bad time to bump this song!!
It’s sad AF most of the roller rinks out there closin up shop. Everything’s an insurance liability nowadays, people hatin on everything that’s “old”. Most people under 25 never even got to experience stuff like that. Jammin to some funky tracks, rollin around the wood floor with the whole building-hasn’t-been-updated-since-the-70’s vibe, the lights, the greasy food. Some of my best memories as a kid.
Timeless music! And that’s a fasho right on!
THIS WAS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE JOINT!!
Terry Turner 👍 Yes!
Yup straight up
Yep!
My Jam
Jammed to these songs in high school 2079-82 and still do,, I am 54 (: this music will live for ever,, 2019👍🏼🙏🏼
Same here Class of '83 ...jamming to these old jams from 1978 to 1983.
quarantined and still looking for the good $Tuff... *.*
That's funny!!!
I had to come listen to this after hearing them jammin to it on the Riverboat in Montgomery on 08-05-23. 💪🏾 ⛴
Bout to chair shot a white nigga to this rn
I love this song! The vocalist has a great voice. I love the cowbell.
Thank you all for continuing to keep Fatback music alive. My only hope is that they would be picked up by unsung while all original members are still living and kickin'. Aint nothing like lovin' on you. Thanks again to the old and new fans! Keep it Funky......Always!
That's right
This kinda doxing is not right
Get Down 2021..Qvo all the way from East L.A.
Arguably the greatest era of music
January 2021 still jamming this tune.
Today’s music has nothing on this.
Feel bad for the #TikTok generation...
There are literally tens of thousands of fantastic new bands making music right now. They just don’t play it on the radio.
I first heard this song on tik tok and came here for the full version
FTTTG.
#TikTok gener cannot handle this without sampling😂
Funny bc I just found this song because of tik tok yesterday 😂

Dam! I remember being in the park Summer time watching the guys poppin, moon walking and leaning hard....those was some good times. Everybody would just get up dance, no fighting, shooting or drive byes just pure ol' fun.....man I miss those days.
Especially when you get that pop going in a 360. Head snapping and hand clapping.
Me too
They were just looking for the good stuff
This was our "backwards skate song" at the roller rink. Roll on baby...♥🛼🛼♥
George Benson is the singer who is the master of backward skating!
Who's looking for the good stuff
Everyday
"Lookin' for the good stuff..."
Linda Chandler-Blake look no further
Why don't you tightin' up on your backstroke.
I first heard this while working with a older black guy I work with sometimes. who grew up in the (disco days) ans he's stuck there lol. I instantly got hooked on the song

Fatback laying down yet another great Funk track from the best era of music!!! I like girls, King Tim 3rd, Gotta get my hands on some money, and all the other great tunes from these Real Funk Pioneered ! Today's shit can't hold a candle to this superb music.Can you dig it CC and it's Vanilla suburbs!!!!!! Real music with real musicians! May the Funk live 4-ever!!! 😎🕇💚⚄⚁
Lotta people don’t remember King Tim the 3rd came out BEFORE Rappers Delight!!!
Grinding with the girlies, high nights, house parties, and just having fun on the weekends. Being a teenager back in the day was the thing. Man it just doesn't any better. This was the jam especially on the breakdown. Miss those days as a teen on the real.
I’m 16 and we still have those parties with this typa music it is really fun 🤞🏽!!
I always tell my mom you guys grew up in the best era
Been groovin' to Backstrokin' for decades, but just noticed something that deepens my love for Fatback's artistry even more: check out 1:35 to 1:58. The way the musical texture thins to make space for the vocal solo-and then the singer sustains that last note beautifully until it gently dissolves into thin air-just thrills me every time! Pure delight. Thank you for giving us special musical moments like this, Fatback. You are divine! 😍
This song is perfect for people getting ready to go to work.
That’s what I think of when this song plays. I was in my early twenties getting ready for work listening to it. The early 80’s
@@ginamicheleellihdavis4735 why don’t you tighten up on ya backstroke 🎶🎵🎶🎵

This will be the First Track Play on my DJ Set...Sick Wow! That bassline is sick!
Indeed it is!! Been trying to match it for years.....decades, rather!!!
