Edwin Starr - Contact Lyrics

What a lovely bloke with the voice of a god. One of life’s true gents .god bless you bud

dansen maar disco 10 plus music

Bel pezzo da discoteca si balla 😛

The best Edwin Star..more music disco 🖒

this is my go to-song when I need things done for years and years now. I love it!

Oh wow...I'd totally forgotten about this one! It's so hypnotic...remember those days...everyone was so HAPPY....not a care in the world...no one in the club, staring at their 'phones'. Everyone was there to dance...to meet someone...to party... to have fun.


And...to think that this was all REAL music...REAL musicians....no one with IG pages...no one with Followers....no one with social media reps...


Ah, if only we could go back in time. Whenever I hear disco,it just makes me so happy!

One of the best disco songs of ALL TIME . You feel like a million bucks & ya got the whole swag thing going on dressed up at the disco when this song came on !!!! 👍👍👍

50 60 70 80 little 90 the rest suck. They will never have rock groups as we did in the 80s and disco. they all played,

Glorious and joyful days when friday nights come and everybody was getting ready to step into the Disco and dance till your feet got sore. Great song from golden Disco era.

what  is  this   shit  music  listen  im  not  intrested  to  this  shit  music  ...why  don't  you   leave  me   alone   with   my   fucking   music  ....fuck  off...

Now ! EDwin Starr was sure enough workin it out on Contact now yah!!!!

" BRING BACK DISCO "

Absolutely brilliant. Thank you.

My heart beats like a drum, when I hear this. You were looking at me, I was looking at you..remembering the disco lights and fog..

I didn’t know this song but I was I my head so I had to look it up.
Funky

I was a Dj between 1977 till 1985. Untill I did settled ang get a regular permanent job. 2010 I did came back side job dj and have my own dj equipment. I have ALL this kind of OLD SCHOOL disco on my computer.
Everytime play in the party people keep asking me where do I get this music. I have ALL THE BEST CLASSIC DISCO of the late 70s to late 80s .

DISCLAIMER: My opinion is not negative, I like some of the Disco Dance Music when I was a 14-15 year old kid: Now, I don't care what Steve Dahl in Chicago says, Disco is a branch off of Rock-n-Roll. He didn't destroy Disco with "Disco Demolition" in my music studies of Rock, Country, and R & B. Disco was a music fad that came and died. Today, it's still kind of house music that people, especially the older generation loves that is a certain part of the Contemporary Top 40 these kids and young adults will listen to today. I can list at least 10 reasons Disco died as a radio format and by mid 1980, it just flopped in night clubs. I was only 16 in 1980, but I saw the whole thing. This song is Roller Skate Oldie, which is better than this Hip Hop and The Taylor Swifts out there today, indeed. Today, I'm in my mid 50s.

groovin with mr blow anyone???

WOW, I was only 15 years old, and heard this song on the radio, but it's been in my head for years! I'm 55 now. Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) wants to Rock "The Ole Skool", this song his for him! I can see Penny (Kaley Cuoco) movin and grovin to this hot jam before she was even a thought! Jim Parsons was 4 years old when this song was HOT in the Houston Discos where he is from! Just laugh at me folks, I'm being silly. This Song "Contact" and TV's " The Big Bang Theory" go together. Maybe even Leonard (Johnny Galecki) can Jam on it. Raj (Kunal Nayyal) show loves Disco! I was watching TBBT as I posted this. GO SHELDON COOPER, CONTACT EDWIN STARR!

My grandma no grandpa 👴 love this song lol there were teens in the 70s love u Mimi n pa pa

I have not heard this in 40 years. Forgot all about it. I was looking for another one where he was laughing in it. Oh this is that.

On this day in 1979 {April 14th} Edwin Starr performed "Contact" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV Saturday afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'...
Two months earlier on February 4th, 1979 the song entered Billboard's Top 100 chart at position #84, five weeks later it would peak at #65 {for 1 week}, and it spent a total of seven weeks on the Top 100...
It reached #13 on Billboard's Hot R&B Singles chart...
Between 1965 and 1979 the Tennessee native had thirteen Top 100 records; two made the Top 10, "Twenty-Five Miles" {#6 for 1 week in 1969} and "War" {#1 for three weeks in 1970}...
Mr. Starr, born Charles Edwin Hatcher, passed away at the age of 61 on April 2nd, 2003...
May he R.I.P.

Oscars Newbury Park Saturday party night Wow !!!!

Yeah man this is it thank u for the post! Proud to b part of a group that remembers...

Edwin Starr in the disco era,,, danced my feet off!!!!!

I hope Mr.Starr is receiving royalties from Skoda, the music on the advert for the Fabia sounds awfully like this

I believe he's deceased.

In that case R.I.P Edwin, I hope his estate is receiving said royalties

@Beaumont Ron Mr. Starr died in 2003.

When I was club Djing, although its beats wandered a bit, this mixed wonderfully into New Order's 'Blue Monday' if you were tight on the decks and chose the break point well. Good foil - pure disco to 80s alternative. Brilliant! :-)

QUEENS NY, 1978 ;-)

DiscoSaturday,
Thank you very much for taking the time to include both the information about Edwin's life and the lyrics to this great work of art.
I appre-she-ate it.
Wishing you the best.

My pleasure... enjoy!

Thank You for share it with us

One of my 10 all time favs, thanks for sharing. Reminds my days as DJ at Aquarius S.Paulo, 3,000 happy people at the dance floor!...oh what a time!

favorite jam

Had the pleasure of seeing Edwin Starr in 'THE PLACE' night club in Hanley (Stoke on Trent) in the UK. What a great night

Met Edwin at one of his concerts in the late 90's. I got a privileged hand shake from him when I told him I'd waited 30 years for the occasion. What a gentleman.

Dammmmnn Very cool... I'm jealous... :)

Lucky you .... You were privileged he was a classic, great music 🎶👍🎵💞💕😁😘🎶👍

Simplemente "GENIAL" que época mas hermosa la de la música disco

Truly amazing!  I'm so lucky to have seen Mr Starr perform this at Camden Lock in the mid-eighties.  (I'm looking at YOU!) xxx

I loved his powerful voice.

Still stands the test of time, reminds me of Donna Summers - I Feel Love, both timeless tracks guaranteed to move the dancefloor :)

Donna Summer is the Queen of Disco. She's also classically trained. She was a beautiful person, inside and out. RIP Donna... God bless you for sharing your gift with the world.

i called this a easy job as a DJ. just put it on and it happened. everybody knew the way

Donna Summer is the Queen of Disco... the best songs EVER!!!

SO SO SO SO SO SO SO FUNKY...one of my all time fav records. CLAP CLAP

👍🎶 GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC 😘🎵😂👍🎶

Remember strutting my stuff to this one ! Dance classic..

Me too I was very young !!! Now 54 years young never altered 😂👍 😘👍🎶😂🎵

brilliant

heard this years ago walking in mexico city what

That abstract fun, and mayhem in these melodies bring about that giddy excitement I truly miss when nightlife reached its purest zenith from '79 to roughly '84.I want it back.

Perfect! The first tune I ever heard in a club! Thought I'd arrived in disco heaven! :-)

ahhh...the lost art of cruising

what was cruising?

I think its a dance ,but it can also mean a few other things

I was looking at you...you were looking at me...contact!
How people hooked up before smart phones...cruising...imagine that.

steven patterson Now, the art is cURsing, right!? lol

steven patterson Those where the days !

Studio 54!

Eye to eye contact...works every time!

Haven't heard this song in s-o-o-o-o-o-o long. Brings back some great memories from back in the day. And yes...eye to eye contact really works!

This is real music!!!! Not like what they play out there today...ugh.. :(

Definitely 🎶🎵😘👍😁💞

Greetings from the UK

Few were better than the legendary Edwin Starr! One of the most powerful voices ever!

Contact and Happy Radio two classic dance tunes from back in the day fro Edwin Star! Thanks for sharing love the disco light flash blip! Thought I was seeing things at first though! Lol

Amazing! what a TEMPO!!!

❤️❤️❤️

ucking great

This is still brilliant. Its the first record I ever brought and led me into a 20 stint as a DJ. It was always my opening number and always got them of there bums and on the dance floor. Love you edwin.

I remember this from back in '78 -- played on the local radio station.  I loved it then, and couldn't dance a lick!  Har!

Vegas International  Port Chester ,  New York , my Father Big Willie made it Little Harlem and they had it good jamming to this here joint

+Wilson Muniz until the Fedz put Donny Brasco to investigate the joint

I recently had my retirement party (and oh what a party !). Donna Summer and many fantastic numbers from the disco era featured. And then .... this came on... and I had not heard this for many years. And wow.. I was transported back to a golden age. Where disco reigned. What a brilliant brilliant masterpiece ! And what a great long player version this is. There was not a space left on the dance floor. Everyone gave it everything and I just had to listen to this again days later.. The creativity gone into this is ...sublime. Composition.. orchestration. What a percussion section !. This up there with the best and I tell you... I wanna keep dancing to this. I even dance to it when I'm driving along ! :-O. How can anyone not get up to this classic ! And hell I'm 60. Never too old ! Thank you Edwin Starr for making my night even more memorable than it already was. R.I.P.

More than a wima
