I JUST WANT TO CELEBRATE
“I Just Want to Celebrate” is a song recorded by American rock band Rare Earth. It was the lead single on their 1971 album One World and was the band’s fifth single overall. It reached #7 on the pop charts and was Rare Earth’s final top 10 single. It was the opening song on their live album, Rare Earth in Concert, released later that year. The song was included on various live and best-of compilations in later years. (More from Wikipedia)
Other hits by Rare Earth include another Motown cover, “(I Know) I’m Losing You” plus “I Just Want to Celebrate”. The latter song has recently been used in commercials for Nicoderm, a nicotine patch product, which features a miniature band performing the main chorus after a man passes on an offered cigarette.
