Good song....funny I haven't heard that in 40 forevers...that song came out in 1978 and was a big hit in the top 5 back then. It was also a title track of a movie that starred Richard Pryor. Which Way Is Up was written and produced by the same man that brought you Car Wash, Norman Whitfield. A great song to boogie to.

Thanx.
Is that the same Norman Whitfield that wrote "I Heart It Through The Grapevine"?

That's the same one. He was also responsible for other Motown hits during the mid 60s to late 70s.

Got to #21 on Billboard's Hot 100 in early 1978 and was a #1 R&B hit for 2 weeks.
Terrific funky jam, still sounds good today.

Good disco track. My earliest memory of this song is not the original itself but a 90s dance record that sampled the beginning drum loop. "I Can't Help Myself" by 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor.
