It topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the Hot Soul Singles chart, and the Hot Dance Club Play chart. It would eventually sell over two million copies and has become one of the most recognizable songs from the late 1970s disco era. It would also help the group win the Grammy Award for Best New Artist of 1978.
In the late 1990s, the song was used in a national campaign ad for Burger King and was sampled by numerous rap acts. Janice Marie Johnson, a member of the group, recorded another version of the song in 2001.
