"Stomp!" is a song released by the Brothers Johnson from their fourth album, Light Up the Night, in early 1980. It reached number one on the Dance singles chart.[3] In the US it reached number one on the R&B singles chart and peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1980.[4] In the UK it entered the singles chart at number 65 on February 23, 1980, and climbed to its highest position, number 6, by March 30, 1980. It spent a total of 12 weeks on the UK Singles Chart.[5][6] The song also reached number one on the New Zealand Singles Chart, staying in this position for six weeks in 1980.
However, Light Up the Night is all really about its lead single, Stomp, a truly irresistible piece of post-disco groove.
