The Hues Corporation was a Los Angeles band formed in 1969. They were a black vocal group comprised of Hubert Ann Kelly, St. Clair Lee and Fleming Williams, who sang lead on this track. Their name was a pun on billionaire Howard Hughes' corporation.
This song uses nautical imagery to describe a love that lasts. They've "sailed through every storm" with "a cargo full of love and devotion," so there's no reason to rock this boat.
This was arguably the first disco song to hit #1 in the US. The instrumental hit "TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)," which also had a disco sound, was released three months earlier.
