That's the one I was thinking of when I read the title.  I loved that song!  I still do, but I never hear it anymore.  I liked that and "Do The Hustle."  I know there were many more.  Thanks for posting the You Tube link.  I enjoyed watching it again!

, I had a migraine headache and was not feeling well one day.  We were supposed go out that night.  I thought I wouldn't feel well enough to go.  I dragged myself out of the bed, took my bath and got dressed and ready anyway.  By the time we got to the nightclub, drowned myself in that music, and started dancing, that migraine was gone.
