Capitol Records' ONLY platinum-selling single in history! Amazing! Who'd have thought two badass sistas with a bass and a guitar could pull it off?!

classic jam from the disco era.I remember hearing it for the first time in the summer of '78.By the fall of that year,it was Number One on the pop charts.I miss that era!! The late 70s was such a fun time.

It was. You can put this record on now at any club and people will hit the dance floor. During this

time i would listen to the radio in the mornings getting dressed for school and i would never have

to change the radio station or turn it off.

I know what you mean! Back then,we had an abundance of great songs.We were spoiled

A live performance from 1978.I love this clip.....the crowd is really into the groove! They totally got the disco fever.

One of my favorites!

A classic! I enjoyed seeing their clips and the interview with Janice-Marie on the Unsung disco episode.

I loved their music, their style, everything

These ladies wore fly outfits with feathers, & braids with beads long before Alicia Keys did it.

It would be cool to see them reunite and go on a tour with a reunited Brothers Johnson All four of them are talented guitarists.

The appearance of Janice Marie Johnson on Unsung has me wondering about what happened with Hazel Payne (guitar). We might have to wait for next season to find out.

GET DOWN!!!

Several years ago,the two of them reunited for a PBS TV special featuring a bunch of disco-era artists and bands.I was hoping that it would lead to a full-fledged reunion....

LOVE IT!

I may be wrong, but I remember hearing years ago and not sure how I heard it, maybe from some older family members that there was some bitterness between the ladies of taste of honey-not sure why and that led to a breakup

based on other female duos

(i.e. Zhane & Floetry)

and why they never lasted

I can assume lover's quarrels

(I could be wrong tho)

was my eyes playing tricks on me

or during the ATOH segment of the

Unsung episode.. wasn't the 2 guy members

of the group hugged up in the studio?

(I could be wrong again.. I have ro rewatch that scene)

Just came on the radio...

It must must be someone with the same name, because Hazel was in this play about 2 or 3 years ago.

This video is from the summer of 2012 in China. She's at 3:48.

No,Hazel is still very much alive However,their keyboardist,Perry Kibble,is no longer with us.

Peter Andre sampled "Boogie Oogie Oogie" in the 90s

I love the detail on the disco unsung episode that Janice Marie Johnson was for a while the driver for the SOS Band while the group wasn't aware that a tasty honey was driving them lol . She got tipped well by the group though

Perry Kibble, the group's original keyboardist indeed passed away in 1999.
