The Floaters _ Float On | Beautiful music

An idea that came to a group member in a dream, the song became one of the biggest singles of 1977 and spent 6 weeks at number 1 on the US Hot Soul Singles chart and topped the UK singles chart. The idea for the lyrics was to spotlight each member of the band, who introduced themselves with their name and astrological sign. Only one big hit but better than none at all - One Hit Wonders - every Tuesday and Thursday on the Midday Fix with Philip Chew on GOLD 905. 💛 go.mediacorp.sg/gold905_meliste

Float On was The Floaters 1977 hit, which was a slow, smooth, R&B song that has a 4 minute version and a 12 minute version. This song is unique not only in its song-length, but in each member of the group having his own section of the song where he states his name, his astrological sign, and what he’s looking for in a woman. #musichistory #thefloaters #floaton #woogtalksmusic #70ssoul #70srnb #rnb #oldies | Whats Good Music
