I can see it’s already been said ... the 12” extended mix is EPIC!! Takes me back to my Disco Days 😊
For me it's best remix forever. I buy the disc in 1979. I completely fall in love with his woman. She have a amazing voice .
79 was the height of the disco era. This would pack the dance floor
It did. I know because I danced to it a zillion times 😊
Iconic. And that hat ☺️
Now, another disco anthem for you : Born to be alive by Patrick Hernandez
I just thought of that too when I listened to this! classic.
this is music, Amii Stewart is u beautiful phenomenon made me fall in love👍👍
Derek my man,you are not alone; herein my little corner of the world, am totally mesmerized! Appreciated!
loved the beat Her Voice and Your Reaction
Amii is an incredible singer and dancer, such an iconic song.
I danced to this song at the Atlanta Limelight in 1980. Brings back a lot of memories when I hear this song.
Pure eargasm!!!!
You’re the first reactor I’ve seen do this great song, enjoyed.
It's great that you react with headphones on because you get the pure feeling of the song to the max
Her disco cover of The Doors' "Light My Fire / 137 Disco Heaven" is truly 🔥🔥🔥!
this is an epic song and this woman is a powerhouse with her voice
My second favourite disco song after I feel love, this is epic
Woah what power this song have. High energy...the correct description. By the way there’s a song:“high energy“ performed by Evelyn Thomas. You will love it. 🕺
One of my favorites from back in the day! Just discovered this fantastic video performance a couple of years ago on youtube, and couldn't stop watching over and over!! She's got the smoothest moves ever. 🙂
An absolute classic!
I was only 11 but absolutely awesome stuff. Even i cld tell. Your action was gr8. Fascinating. What a talented beautiful women.🇺🇸🇬🇧💕
At the time this song crossed all musical boundaries.... disco..punk...futurist...funk ..you name it....its just unique...we loved it
I was a little boy when this came out and was one of my favourite songs
Amii is a baby of humanity a incarnation of Virgin Maria or a thing like that. It's so sad that people didn't recognize her as such a beauty. At least in France. Fortunately Italy recognized her for her talent.🤩😘Italia e una parta di noi, nella bellezza e l'anima.😘
Yes this is the transition between disco to house high energy dance
I'm so thankful that you did a react to this song
As an active visitor to dance clubs back in the day this is one of the songs that could get everybody out on the dance floor. It's energy is infectious.
One of the best "discohits"..ever..🇸🇪
This is my absolute most favorite disco song...brilliance! Best extended version ever, too!
Picture it: South Beach, 1992. A young 22-year-old gay man goes to his very first tea dance/street party at the world-famous Warsaw nightclub. He is surprised that the entire street is closed off and decorated. At one end, in front of the beach, is an empty large freight container, the kind usually hooked to large trucks on the highway. On top of that container, three drag queens are doing their thing. This song comes on, and the entire crowd goes wild. Looking up, that young man sees all three drag queens drop to their knees and bang on the container to give the effect of the same thunder the singer is emoting to. That memory still sticks with me to this day.
YEA! I’ve been waiting for someone to react to this classic! Thanks, Derek!!
Brings back so many memories of Saturday night dancing at the discos!
pure disco ! i remember it back in the day
This was my all time favorite song back in the day when roller skating was popular. I would build up so much speed to this song. Think I was 14 at the time it came out.
This song is one of my Favourite songs
Fantastic hearing that .I grew up late 70s and 80s.play eruption one way ticket or I can't stand the rain.great disco
This is straight up disco, up there with "Pop Muzik", "Born to be Alive", and many others.
There's an extended 12" version that is relentless, if you were out on the dance floor for the whole thing you'd come back drenched in sweat.
You could play all the really good songs one after the other and you wouldn't run out of music for at least a couple of weeks. People don't realize how many songs we danced to back then.
For a good transitional song, check out MARRS "Pump Up The Volume".
The workouts you're thinking about were an 80's trend, with the leg warmers, for aerobics classes. Olivia Newton-John had a popular song called "Physical".
Beautiful woman, beautiful fun song. Those day man. Disco, the music of love.
I was beginning my last year of college when this song became quite the rage. So popular that the marching band at Ohio State (TBDBITL) cooked up a version for multiple halftime shows, including the 1980 Rose Bowl (I was there). ah memories. . .
Great song! Before my time but one of my faves! One of those that never gets old with me! Thanks Dereck!!
Amazing song.
Another killer 70s disco track
When you listen Ami Stewart its like driving a Lamborghini sesto elemento.....you forget all Ferrari ❤😉❤ she s ahead in her time ❤❤❤
This guy s voice is nerve wracking 😂😂😂😂
I put this song (cover version) in the same league as Donna Summer doing Macarthur Park, turning both these songs into disco was magic
ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE SONGS AND LOVED TO DANCE TO IT!!! ♥♥♥♥♥
I do love this song! I have to tell you that she had a second wind in Italy. The music feels as though if Disco was left to just continue on into the synth era. I recommend listening to her song Friends.
. This takes me back to my club days.
The perfect transition from Disco to High Energy, it fits totally in 1979 on the way into the 80s...
epic song yes i remember this era and the good thing is to see you smiling at each moment being like a child before his new toy : the knowledge thanks to be spontaneous ! hello from France
Loooooove this song Dereck!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song is 🔥
thanks for the enthusiasm. enjoy.
As someone else mentions below Evelyn Thomas- High Energy is a blast plus i would add in Hazel Dean- Searchin
Thanks!
Thank you❤️
Ami Stewart should be an MCU character, goddess of wood knocking.
You have to listen "The Letter" i love her...
20 years ago when I had a singing voice this was part of my karaoke repertoire along with Raining Men, I am What I am, Respect, Fame & I will Survive.
Recuerdo muy bien esta canción. Yo solo tenía 5 años cuando vi el video Y junto a la canción de fairytale de Dana en el año 1976 fueron mis consentidas, as I was growing up, in El Salvador 🇸🇻.
Danced to this song,,the long one, every weekend on lighted dancefloors. !! When she pauses, we did it also. Great fun !!
Thank you.
YES!!!
When I started DJ'ing at a club in the late 80's I used to bring in my album and play the 6 minute version and the floor would go nuts! This 12-inch is that same version. That long intro and fade at the end are killer! czcams.com/video/Tka-dEQ7hCU/video.html
I so need a Dereck with me whenever I listen to music cos the enthusiasm and energy for it is just infectious and joyous!
Iconic, Dereck!!
LOVE 2 YOU BELGIUM KNOCKS ON WOOD
More amazing classics that are also on the edge of the disco and 80's sound:
- So Many Men So Little Time (Miquel Brown)
- Desire (Roni Griffith)
- Just An Illusion (Imagination)
- Passion (The Flirts)
Wow, I remember this when it first came out but what I didn’t like was how they made her dress - particularly that headdress which obscured her pretty face.
She could belt out those disco songs without any effort and she looked good too.
I believed she emigrated to Italy where she still lives to this day. Thanks for sharing!
IMO this is tied for the best disco song of all time.
Amii Stewart Knock On Wood Rudd's Extended Edit
BEST VERSION EVER!!!!!
11 minutes of pure unadulterated.BLISS!!!!!
Must Hear Smackdown!!!!!
More DISCO......PLEASE!!!!!!!!
So good song!!! I love it...full of Energy ⚡⚡⚡⚡
Oh,those moves
Amazing song!! Great choice to react to Dereck!!
I love the way you percussion!!!
One of Discos best, she started as a dancer
Great track indeed ! If you like this typical sound, try Sheila B. Devotion "seven lonely days" (New American recording) with that incredible rhythm !!! PLEASE, try it ! Your feet won't stop moving !
Long live disco!!
12 inch mix kicks even better
I watch your reaction to this song because it like you are on a trip. And I'm living for it! I love Ami Stewart and I love this song. And you are right, it's like she has superpowers. She comes into the song spinning around like Wonder Woman and that costume. Ami Stewart would be the right Black Wonder Woman if there is to be one. Someone should call Marvel Comics and give her a contract!
LoL She is almost 70 y/o
@@roninmidori1188 I know this song was in the 70s but I love the song and reaction, costume and all. Someone should do a whole remake of this song, video, costume and all with the same vibe and see what they come up with its so cool
Yes epic disco indeed. ❤️
First released by Eddie Floyd back in 1966 on the Stax label in a much slower version. Amii's version is a killer one!!!
70s was more the decade of disco, thats why this sounds like disco mixed with what we got in the 80s
Well if you liked this than you need to listen to The Gap Band's "You Dropped The Bomb On Me", with the sound effects of missiles dropping. Try Eruptions "I Can't Stand The Rain" also with sound effects.
Discodiva par excellence
good old DISCO days...
Mein liebstes Zapoellied in der Disco. Und das war Anfang der 90er als es gespielt wurde.
Guck mal "Relight my fire" von Dan Hartman (lange Version). Die lange originale Version habe ich auf CZcams nicht gefunden 🤷.
Es ist voller Power und super zum tanzen💃
Been asking for this for months now...
While known for this song, and the follow up Light My Fire/137 (Disco Heaven), Amii also released a couple of other songs that while good (Jealousy) that did not hit the charts but which got huge Disco play. One thing about actual Disco was that most of the songs (Euro-Disco, which was the best) were not about the singers (USA-EUROPEAN CONNECTION--Come Into My Heart/Good Lovin'--Voyage--From East to West/Souvenirs--Cerrone--Supernature/Give Me Love) but were about the instrumentation. While there were lyrics (Supernature is full of them) it was still the musical breaks that made Disco what Disco was. I have watched a couple of your videos (Enough is Enough--Donna Summer/Barbra S. for example) but to really appreciate Disco you must move away from USA Disco (repetitive) and check out Euro-Disco look for songs over 6 minutes for the best versions. Machine--There But For the Grace of God is a German disco super hit. It failed in the US because Gays thought the words were homophobic. The truth is that the words actually supported the gay lifestyle. 'Let's find a place that's safe. Somewhere far away, with no black, no jews and no gays. There but for the Grace of God Go I. See. The singer is saying If God had not made me less stupid than those who hate just for the sake of hate, I would feel the same.
Music i like much
You should try a tune from 1978 called "Which way is up" by a girl trio named Stargard. That tune is Awesome!
Amii made such nice disco songs......maybe you should try "Jealousy"
You should hear the extended album version. The instrumental mid section is outstanding, and more vocals from Amii with a brilliant fade out.
Here’s the You-Tube link - czcams.com/video/s95pTCDbIJ8/video.html
The version you reviewed is the single edit.
She also had two other hits Light My Fire/137 Disco Heaven and Jealously.
I have her first two albums on Vinyl and unofficial CDs, but outstanding audio from the original master tapes.
The Phil Collins song you mentioned is actually ‘In The Air Tonight’ from 1981.
Good song, a gateway cross over from disco to the 4 to floor house...
Wanna have you mind blown... Search for pictures of Amii today. She's almost 70 years old and has a tighter body and smooth skin that 20 year olds would beg for... I'm not lying.
Easily in my Top 10 Disco songs ever. I’d love to hear Dua Lipa cover this. She may not have the high notes for the “whoooo hoo” parts, but she does disco so well.
Also, google Amii’s album cover for this. It’s iconic. Very Cher-like.
Still have the LP.
Suggestion: Taffy - I ❤️ My Radio (Midnight Radio). 😊
Yes it's disco
still got the album.... sigh... love "Friends" from 1985, a beautiful song
The song came out in 1979 please get it right
@@annaprince2820 Friends ? Please read it right
React to "Ring My Bell", Anita Wood!!!!
Anita Ward
@@sexysadie2901 correct.....ooooops
🎶💕😍💕🎶
I waz in the 7th grade when that song came out brings back memories
