"Movin'" is a song by R&B/disco band Brass Construction. The song was culled together from a 16-minute jam session by the band. Released from their self-titled 1976 album, the single spent a week at number one on the R&B singles chart in the spring of that year. It was also successful on the pop charts, peaking at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. On the disco dance charts, "Movin'" went to number one for four weeks and spent a total of twelve weeks on the chart.

The song is heard playing in the background in the Good Times episode "The Big Move", Part One, at the Evanses' going-away party, where they receive the news that the Evanses' patriarch, James, had been killed in an automobile accident.
