    This was a huge hit for Amii Stewart reaching the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in April 1979! I've always loved this great disco/dance track! So many great disco tracks hit the top ten in 1979! Blondie's "Heart Of Glass" Sister Sledge's "We Are Family" Chic's "Good Times" Anita Ward's "Ring My Bell" Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" Bee Gee's "Tragedy" Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff" "Bad Girls" & "Dim All The Lights" to name just a few! What an amazing year 1979 was!!!!

    I played the hell out of this song at the clubs. FLOOR FILLER every time and talk about EPIC vocals! Amii Stewart killed this song with her vocals, dance moves costume. Knock On Wood remains on my top 10 favorite dance songs of all time.

      I think this is one album that I got from Columbia House (I think that's the one). All I had to do was tape a penny to the order form and 6 to 8 weeks later I had 10 albums! I'm pretty sure I still owe them money and I'm STILL grounded! Lol

    This is a radio shortened radio edit version, but the 12" original version is phenomenal. An updated remix was made in 1985 with more powerful metallic sounding percussion (called 'Knock On Wood / Ash 48') without altering much of the original. It's a superb version worth listening to!
