A commenter on another blog brought this video to my attention a few weeks ago. Thanks ARA!!
1977 was a big year for Heatwave, as their first single, “Boogie Nights” from their debut album, reached number two on the British pop charts in January (it wouldn’t appear on the American radar until later that summer, when it also became a #2 hit in November). The group’s long-awaited debut album, Too Hot to Handle, finally appeared in late-spring 1977, giving Heatwave a number eleven hit in the U.S. – it cruised to number five on the R&B charts, while the next single, the sweet soul ballad “Always and Forever”, closed out the year with a number two U.S. R&B hit in December. “The Groove Line” was featured on the 1978 LP release “Central Heating“.

Awwww shooot! This was the roller skating jam. We’d bog & weave around people who couldn’t skate, what! 🙂
nice cut, like u old school lol. and u have been added to my blog roll welcome
whew, “the groove line” is the joint! my dad is a bass player and i remember him practicing to this song when i was growing up…this definitely made me reminisce.
Happy OSF! While in college me and some buddies bought goldenrod t-shirts and had HEATWAVE ironed on … then we would go to our school’s basketball games and chant heatwave … heatwave as our way of putting pressure on the opposing team. We had it rollin’ so much after awhile that we were buying those goldenrod shirts by the boxful! Ah, the young entrepreneurial memories and the great band known as Heatwave! Thank you for bringing this one out…
I focused on Oscar Brown, Jr. for my OSF meme this week.
peace, Villager
Those black and gold/orange outfits were extra sharp! lol
good look on the old school joints
The first, eh! not my fav, but the second one is the jam. We didn’t listen to a lot disco growing up, my mom and friends like the hard stuff.
Villager: LOL! at the iron-on T-shirts.
I am a big heatwave fan. for the longtime I associated their song “always and forever” to a dream I would continually have of my sister sailing away with her husband to live a new life. I never knew why, then she told me when I was younger that was the song she played at her wedding. I was too young to remember but my mind when ever I heard that song would make that connection. Thanks for posting these classics. This new music ain’t got nothing on old school!
I have the volume turned up for this one!! Happy OSF~
I love both of these songs, but my favorite is Always & Forever! But Heatwave was hot!
Happy OSF! Two more grooves that make me wanna get up and get down! tee hee hee…
This was the jam!!
Gosh, haven’t heard them in years. Watching the moves and the clothes. LOL. Sometimes you wonder, what were we thinking then. Thanks for the good groove Choc.
Great choice!
Dancing in my seat – love it!
Hey Choc,
What’s up lady? Just checking in on you!
