This is the soulful, inspiring disco cover version of the Laverne & Shirley tune, written by the late  Norman Gimbel   and Charles Fox   with added music and lyrics by Laurie herself and Ellen Weston . The beginning of this version starts off with the slow piano ballad intro, then it picks up the speed to a fast disco tempo with joyous handclaps and rhythmic percussion in the style of Donna Summer   from the Casablanca Record & Filmworks years since the late '70s.
