Move to you're left move to your right tighten up now it's going to be alright you can do it now you can do it everything's going to be alrigh just tighten up it's going to be out of sight😊
I heard a good story about this song. Archie Bell recorded Tighten Up and then was duly shipped out to Vietnam where he got injured. He was sent to the Army hospital in West Germany. He was placed in a ward and one day on the ward, Tighten Up came up on the radio. Archie Bell sat up and shouted "Hey guys! That's ME!" The rest of the soldiers didn't believe him.
These performances are priceless!!! Love this post!!! Love the bass lines being played with longer extended bass notes instead of the choppy style like recorded on the studio song!!!! Smooth....
Hi Archie I love this song born 1965. My parents played this as a kid in 70's. I heard you found out about this being at hit while you was in nam. I submitted you to tv one unsung... You are a legend . And my dad serv
LOVE IT! I think I was still an Airman at Maxwell AFB in 1970 when I first heard this! A year later I was on the road as a traveling photographer driving across the nation. Recall driving across central TX one late night and spotting this bus I was passing with the header "Archie Bell & the Drells".. just kinda weird after all these years.
Hi Darius, I am glad you enjoyed the video. Archie is still doing his thing. He still lives in Texas and is in his mid 70's now. Thank you for stopping by my channel. Did you happen to take a photo of the bus and if so, do you still have it? I would love to show it to Archie
