This was one of my favorite disco hits from the 70's. I can't find a copy of it on Amazon, iTunes, anywhere. Somewhere there is a video of a series of 70's washers doing their thing in tune to this song. It's a great video to see and listen to.

Wrong version
Had to register just so I could share where you can get this gem. You're having trouble locating it because you haven't searched for the song's One True Singer, Ann Nesby.
You can grab it from Google Play here:

Of course, Sylvester also covered it:
Sylvester - Rock the Box

Well, Artcurus, you and I listened to very different styles of music back in '77, but this punk classic ought to take care of your earwig problem. Prepare to spend the next week dancing around yelling "Tie me bind me chain me to the wall! I wanna be a slave for you all! Oh bondage up yours!" LOL.

Boy oh boy, does that song bring back memories….. The gay bar I used to frequent played the long version of this every night at closing time. Terrific song. This came out at the height of the disco era, as I recall. I have the 12" version and some 45's of it too. I guess old vinyl is getting less and less attainable as time goes on.

One of the
best dance records of that era! SLAYD 5000 has many on youtube. So do others.
Brings back memories like I'm Ready" by Cano, and "Beat the Street" by Linda Clifford, etc., etc. SOS band?
I have diverse musical taste. I even like smooth jazz and chill out lounge stuff, classical now also. Hard to beat that Blue Oyster Cult "Reaper" too.
I have never heard of Ex-Ray Spex, but I say learn every day.
Anyone remember King Crimson?

If I've ever heard it before, I sure don't remember.
It's OK, but not anything I'd buy by any means. Disco has never appealed much to me, and wasn't well thought of in my immediate area - considered big city music. Most people around here listened to country or rock - especially heavy metal, not that I care much for those, either. I had one friend - Scott - that was really into disco at that time. He's been gone (AIDS, at age 32) for over 20 years now. He was quite the bar rat.

Most of us
had at least one friend who was too wild at the bars and is gone.
I was a disco fan, for whatever reason. Folks like what they like. My mom bought me the Saturday Night Fever album because I likes the Bee Gees. The rest of the neighborhood were into the Stones, Beatles, Wings, Led Zepelin, Rod Stewart, who also had a disco hit. I listened to them all.
A "DREAD" card could be obtained from a local FM rock station. Detroit Rockers Engaged in the Abolition of Disco.
Jerry, Oh boy! I watched neither program. Only Captain kangaroo and Mr. Rogers.

I have the original album that is being played in the first Video.
I also have a CD with it on it. It is a CD Soundtrack of the Movie "Studio 54". It is disc #2. Great soundtrack by the way. Very rare disco hits that were played in bars, but not so much on radio.

from about 1973? So was Frankenstein by the Edgar Winter group, Old Fashioned Love Song by Three Dog Night, Pillow Talk by Sylvia Robinson, Donna Summers first big hit, Try Me? and does anyone remember "Souvenier" by the French group----shoot, I forget their name. They also did "from east to west". It's one word. That song by Purple someone or other? I'll get back with it.
War was awesome with "slippin into darkness", Cisco Kid, Ride, etc. They were one of the groups which did a benefit concert and album for the Bangladesh flood of the 70's.

LOL You guys would have a field day at my house. I have hundreds of old 12" disco mix singles and hundreds of thousands of 45's I have collected since the early sixties. After moving 7 years ago, I have finally got most of the 45's sorted into alphabetical order and putting them into shelves I had built years ago that are like book shelves all across the walls in a large walk in closet I have in this house. Just in doing so, I have run across sooooooo many that I had forgotten about for years. I must have bought everything from the pop and R&B chart from the 70's and 80's. That was ALWAYS what I collected long before washers and dryers. I have lots of jukeboxes to play them on too. Those take up a bit more space though. LOL Seems kind of pointless now, since most everything has been put on cd or digital these days. You can find just about anything if you look hard enough. Back in the day 45's were very useful, since they were still used on jukeboxes. Now they are pretty much obsolete except to weirdos like myself. Anyone under 30 doesn't even know what a "45" is now. They think it's a gun! During the disco era 45's were still KING for jukeboxes. Souvenirs by Voyage was one of the absolute best disco hits ever made!!!! One of my absolute favorites. There were many great disco hits though. Seemed to have started around the time that the Richee family made "Brazil" and Donna Summer made "Love to love you baby". Then there was the Salsoul Orchestra with "Tangerine". Everything certainly had a disco beat!
