A splice of music and vid by Heatwave - "The Groove Line" (1978).
One of my favorite songs. The bass line goes up my spine. The vocal harmonies soothe my soul. My homage to them. Hope this song lasts forever.

Lyrics:
"Pack your grip
Takin you on a trip
Ain't no seats
All we got's dancin' feet
Leave your worries behind
(Leave your worries behind)
'Cause rain, shine don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight (whowa whowa) (whowa whowa)
Get this train
Know you'll be glad you came
Hit the track
Party hard there and back
Leave your worries behind
(Leave your worries behind)
'Cause rain, shine don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight (whowa whowa) (whowa whowa)
Check out the wheels a turnin' (who-e-uu)
You know we won't stop
We got this boiler burnin' (who-e-uu)
We're keepin' it hot
So grab your friends
Get the train comin' through
Climb on board
Where you leave's up to you
Leave your worries behind
(Leave your worries behind)
'Cause rain, shine don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight (whowa whowa) (whowa whowa)
Leave your worries behind
(Leave your worries behind)
'Cause rain, shine don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight (whowa whowa) (whowa whowa)
Check out the wheels a turnin' (who-e-uu)
You know we won't stop
We got this boiler burnin' (who-e-uu)
We're keepin' it hot
So grab your friends
Get the train comin' through
Climb on board
Where you leave's up to you
Leave your worries behind
(Leave your worries behind)
'Cause rain, shine don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight (whowa whowa) (whowa whowa)
We can ride
Rain, shine don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight (whowa whowa)
We can ride
Rain, shine don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight (whowa whowa)
We can ride
Rain, shine don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight (whowa whowa)
We can ride
Rain, shine don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight (whowa whowa)
We can ride
Rain, shine don't mind
We're ridin' on the groove line tonight (whowa whowa)"
