Atlantic Recording W 11080. The B-side is the excellent Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah,
Yowsah, Yowsah).
Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edward's pet
group. They previously recorded with The Big Apple Band and appeared in songs such as
"I'm doin' fine now" (New York City) and "A Fifth of Beethoven"
(Walter Murphy). "Dance, dance, dance (Yowsah, yowsah, yowsah)" is an archetypal
disco song with a thumping bassline that can't easily be beaten. "Everybody
dance" is a good follow-up, listen to the amazing LP bassline. Much covered in the
70's and 90's; even by The Players Association. "Le Freak" was a very big seller
and spent 6 weeks at no. 1 in the US charts - returned in the 80's as "Jack le
Freak". Further disco releases were "I want your love", "Good
times", "My forbidden lover", and "My feet keep dancing". Notable
is "Good times"; an oft-sampled bassline (The Sugarhill Gang especially).
