BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985
DISCO FRIDAY!
“Boogie Oogie Oogie” is a song by disco group A Taste of Honey. Released from their self-titled album in 1978, it became an extremely popular “crossover” song. The lyrics urge listeners to “boogie oogie oogie till you just can’t boogie no more.” It topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the Hot Soul Singles chart, and the Hot Dance Club Play chart. It would eventually sell over two million copies and has become one of the most recognizable songs from the late 1970s disco era. It would also help the group win the Grammy Award for Best New Artist of 1978. It also reached #3 on the UK Singles Chart.
