You Can Do It

Recorded in Detroit by Al Hudson and the Partners during the sessions for the album Happy Feet, featuring the group's blend of funk, soul and dance music. The recording was produced by Al Hudson and showcased the tight rhythm section and vocal interplay that later evolved into One Way. Released in 1979, the track became the group's biggest hit and a major dance-floor success during the final years of the disco era. Its celebratory lyrics and infectious groove helped it cross between club, R&B and mainstream audiences. The song became a heavily sampled staple of hip-hop, R&B and dance music and remains one of the most recognizable party records of its era. Its chant-style vocals and driving groove have kept it in regular rotation among DJs and producers for decades.
