Let's Groove


We're turning the time capsule way back to 1981 with Earth, Wind and Fire's "Let's Groove."  I feel a bit conflicted about this one, because it was written in 1981, but it sounds as if it could have been written sometime in the mid to later '70s.  No problem there -- it's all good as they say.  The video for the song seems pretty standard for the day with it's kind of "space aged" feel and visual effects, but the costumes are still feeling pretty '70s to me.  I'm not complaining, though.  The '70s were a terrific decade -- at least from what I remember from being quite young back then.

Anyway, I am not sure how this groove could not get you to move, because it is kind of infectious in a good way -- like the groove bug or something.  So stand up!  You're looking good, you're out of sight.  How come we don't say that anymore?  Kind of reminds me of J.J. Evans from "Good Times" -- dynomite!  If this tune does not get you up off your feet with a spontaneous urge to boogie down, then I am not sure anything would!  And the horn section on this tune really is outta site!  I'd write more, but I think I'll just let this groove get me to move :)
