Very sad.  We used to dance to the music often back then!

Oh dear! Another favorite. "Thank You", "Family Affair", "Dance to the Music", "Everybody is a Star", "Everyday People", and of course:  "I Want to Take You Higher". . . and so many more.

He was notorious for not showing up for his concerts or showing up so late that the crowd got very angry. He was usually so stoned or drunk that it would make him do that.

"Hot Fun in the Summertime" was one of my faves!

 

Ahhh, the memories of dancing to his music and being young and carefree.

Rest in Peace Mr. Stone. His music brings back such happy memories of my youth and dancing like crazy with my bestie. No one makes that kind of music anymore, although Prince was very good at bringing some of that feeling back. I miss great dance music.
