In the fall of 1976 it was virtually impossible to go into a club or disco and not hear the song played at least once that evening. In addition, it was a featured song on any radio station that broadcast disco music. Perhaps the only song heard more prevalently in the clubs and on the radio that fall was Donna Summer's Love Trilogy.
