70s disco/funk jam of the day: "Do It Good" by A Taste Of Honey (1979)



Who remembers this jam from the summer of '79? This is waaaayyyy funkier than "Boogie Oogie Oogie".It was the first single from their second album 'Another Taste'.

clap your hands,stomp your feet
move your body to the disco beat

I need to find this album! I'm only familiar with two songs on it: "Do It Good" and "Dance",which is a fantastic disco track....that bassline is FIERCE! How does the rest of the album sound?

I have a 2-CD set that features their first album and their third album 'Twice As Sweet'.I'd rather have the second album instead of the third one.

Their biggest hits are...

"Boogie Oogie Oogie" (1978)--reached Number One on the pop and R&B charts in 1978
"Sukiyaki"(1981)---reached Number One on the R&B charts and Number Three on the pop charts in the spring of 1981.

do those song titles ring a bell? lol

I was always pissed that this album was never released on CD (not even as a Japanese Import!)...they released the first one , skipped over the second and later released the third and first album on a 2 for1 CD...

Damn, I just barely remember it. I probably haven't heard it since 1979. Is that picture a greatest hits compilation and is that song on there? If so, my ass is heading to the record store.

Yeah,it's a compilation that came out in 2002.The tracklist:

Classic Masters: A Taste Of Honey

Boogie Oogie Oogie
You're In Good Hands
Disco Dancin'
Do It Good
Dance
Rescue Me
I'm Talkin' About You
Sukiyaki
I'll Try Something New
We've Got The Groove
This Love Of Ours
I Want To Be Your Girl


Excellent compilation,but I have one complaint: they should have used the full-length album version of "Boogie Oogie Oogie".Instead,they use the single edit.

I also recall a rapper sampling this song in 1992.It was a hilarious rap song called "I Got A Man",but I can't remember the guy's name.
