Formed in New York City in 1970, the Fatback Band was the concept of Bill Curtis, an experienced session drummer, inspired to merge the "fatback" jazz beat of New Orleans into a funk band. In addition to Curtis, the band's initial line-up included guitarist Johnny King, bassist Johnny Flippin, trumpet player George Williams, saxophonist Earl Shelton, flautist George Adams, and keyboardist Gerry Thomas. The band specialized in playing "street funk". The group also later included conga player Wayne Woolford, vocalists Jayne and Gerry, Deborah Cooper saxophonist Fred Demerey, guitarist Louis Wright and George Victory.

The Fatback Band's "Night Fever" is a disco classic that expresses a vivacious, up-tempo dance vibe. The song's repeated lines, "Night fever," pulse with energy and motivate the listener to move and groove to the beat. It's a celebratory tune that encourages people to let loose and indulge in the escapist allure of nightclubs and dance floors.
The lyrics also suggest an undercurrent of seduction and romance mixed with the frenzied dance frenzy. The repetitive "Night fever" takes on an almost primal chant-like quality, as if the singers and dancers are summoning or invoking this feverish state of mind and body. The song's infectious rhythms and melodic hooks mirror the hypnotic pull of the night itself, with all its glitz and glamour, sultriness and mystery.

I'm amazed the Bee Gees wrote this - it would have graced Saturday Night Fever
@GGandLB
I would be amazed too if the Bee Gees wrote this. In fact it was written by Gerry Thomas, who was a keyboard player in the Fatback Band. This sounds a bit similar to another song by Fatback - Spanish Hustle, which Gerry also wrote. I agree in that it would have graced Saturday Night Fever.
@ewaf88
@@GGandLB I thought it wasn't the Bee Gees style. It's a mistake in another posting of this song where it lists them as writers
@johnfisher7599
I assume that this broadcast was Britain's "Tops of the Pops". If so, what a pity that this group and this sound did not get national exposure in the United States
@Spinanmyx
'Top Pop' was aired by the Dutch broadcaster AVRO. Nothing to do with the U.K.'s 'Top Of The Pops'.
