I concur, todays generation doesn't know what or heard good music, we had the best music. There missing out, I got 10,000 vinyls 45, 33, 12, 7 10 78, got them all, I still got my techniques turn table, and Bose speakers. FUCK I'm still stuck in the past
Puts a tear in my eye when I think about Dilla’s decision to sample this on the outro (intro to heaven) of his final album, released just days before he died. A musical legend.
Listen to to this song when I was about 8years old now I am , 59 years old. Still love it amazing vocals, this song is dedication for a man's love to keep his woman, loving him till death.
For my husband, Ruben. When you passed away babe after 34 years of marriage, you were the man I knew you could be. You were everything I wanted in a man. I love you babe!!
I just imagine Dilla finding this amazing sample, and completely knowing that this is going to be the final track he samples in his life. Truly amazing sample to an amazing track to finish an amazing album by an amazing guy. RIP J Dee
A classic in every sense. Perfect harmony. Powerful words. I'm retired and have this song in my trunk of memories as I move into my later years, always dipping inside, pulling it out, and singing along with whatever voice I have left. Thank you, Motherlode.
One of my ALL TIME FAVORITES Diane Brooks is the female singer on When I die which gives this song a Fifth Demension, Friends Of Distinction , Free Movement Sound
oddly recorded in 67 it wallowed around for some reason till they again for some odd reason finally decided to release it in 69 something tells me it was possibly wolf man jack on XERB 1090 bc im almost positive he was the dj i heard play it in reg rotation in 69
As a Huge fan of memorable music from that specific year, this one didn't have the same amount of airplay as the others. But what a gem it was ! I get teary every time i hear it ! 🤗👍
I have tears in my eyes bc now I get the message JDilla was trying to deliver in his Donut intro. he is a genious. So sad that he had to die he was so young and talented. noone will EVER deliver music like he did. Rest peacfully Jdilla .. ): ):
2:55, straight tears to my eyes! This song is soulful and the late GREAT J Dilla did it justice when he sampled it. I was gonna try and put my own touch on it, but this, just like "T.R.O.Y", you leave those samples and classics alone. Miss you, Dilla!
Remembered this song from my youth (I'm 65), found it here and played it for my wife, then told her this song expresses exactly my hope regarding my future with her. She looked at me, smiled, and said, "You're feeling romantic, today."
An epic gem! One of the greatest songs in the history of music. After 53 years of listening to it, it still chokes me up - always will. The pride of London, Ontario. I have the LP.
At the time, Canada was still waking up to, and realizing, our potential. We were, and are, very proud of this song. Such a wonderful vibe and lyric that still speaks to many of us today. And yes, we got by (and get by) with a little help from our friends to the south (Thank you Carol Kaye).
Hooray for YORKVILLE. It was like a weird world and it was beautiful. Neil, Gordon , Joni and you would find George Harrison and Bob Dylan goofin' around the Mariposa Folk Festival. You Millenials have NEVER seen the likes of the "60s" until now with Rootin' Tootin' Putin on the fuckin' war path.
I just started singing this out of the blue, and I actually found it here. Great memories. I'm 70 now. Still young at heart! Now playing this over and over.
This should have been a number one hit! The DJ,S and record companies ,don,t promote good artists, like this great group. I,ve alwayys loved this song back in 69, when first came out. Napoleon. Toussaint
Napoleon TOUSSAINT : That's because they unfortunately were just a one-hit wonder...the song made it to Number 18 on America's 1969 Billboard list. That's pretty respectable for a band from London Ontario
+Napoleon TOUSSAINT Hey friend! LOVE THIS TUNE! Those harmonies are so intricate. I sung a bit throughout my life & I have fun trying to sing the harmony parts on this one. PEACE!
It's weird how some older songs can leave your memory bank..... Then......BAM!!! You hear it here on the TUBE. You wonder how in the hell did I forget this song? "I used to love it!" Thanks so much for taking me back to re-gather this classic in my head.
What a beautiful song. Music from that era was so meaningful and well written. The musicians playing as one organ and the vocals are so much in harmony and tight. This classic still sounding good today. Nothing but the classics can stand the test of time.
Not just outstanding, ...but, a very sexy song too. Listen to that voice inflection. No singer does that today, without their voice cracking, and going out of tune. This is talent, that doesn’t exist today.
I'm here from the donuts album it really is a bittersweet feeling knowing that he sampled this knowing that the inevitable was near but even though that was true he gave us his gift one last time. and that's what life is all about
I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious husband of 34 yrs. I come here often to listen to this song and I read all the comments. I'm praying for The Lord to give you comfort and peace thru this time. I hope you both believer's in Christ and will soon be together again for all eternity, forevermore. My wife and I just celebrated 47yrs, last 41 with Jesus at the wheel. May God hold you in the Palm of his hand.
I haven heard this song for many many years, so many memories of my self and a very close friend we both took off to Job Corps back in 1971. After six months we returned 6 months later I enlisted in Marines. I heard later that my friend had became a drug addict he later passed away what a lost he was like a brother to me .

If only this young generation heard music like this !!!
...bastards...
Don’t worry I got you
You gotta turn them on to it. My daughter and my relationship is sharing our music. She would love this
I concur, todays generation doesn't know what or heard good music, we had the best music. There missing out, I got 10,000 vinyls 45, 33, 12, 7 10 78, got them all, I still got my techniques turn table, and Bose speakers. FUCK I'm still stuck in the past

🙏 RIP
That was one of the baddest tunes of '69!
Listen to to this song when I was about 8years old now I am , 59 years old. Still love it amazing vocals, this song is dedication for a man's love to keep his woman, loving him till death.
Thank you for your kind words - I have the 45 & love it - Canadian blues
Bro when I looked up the sample and it hit me, that was definitely a moment.
Motherlode was a Canadian pop rock group formed in 1969 in London, Ontario.
I never knew this thanks
For my husband, Ruben. When you passed away babe after 34 years of marriage, you were the man I knew you could be. You were everything I wanted in a man. I love you babe!!
I dunno why but this really got me
🙏🙏🙏
Great, great song! Have always loved this song. Lot's of soulful meaning . . .👍👍👍
Heavy, Heavy song..♥️🙏🏾💐
Awhh such a sweet comment =)
I see Dilla's message now..This was the last song on Donuts (his last album). He knew he was going to die, really sad. RIP my hero
I’m glad for the music but sorry for the fate
What was the cause of death and how old was he?
@@SuzanneThomaskendall He had lupus which was a rare blood disease he had for 3 years. He was 32 years old when he passed😥.
R.I.P Dilla🕊❤ (1974-2006)
😥
It was an omen. And he blessed his fans by leaving us in my opinion one of the dopest beats ever. RIP #JDILLA
I just imagine Dilla finding this amazing sample, and completely knowing that this is going to be the final track he samples in his life. Truly amazing sample to an amazing track to finish an amazing album by an amazing guy. RIP J Dee
The feels... They are strong :(((
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Truly a masterpiece
Maybe it wasn’t the last track he made but it was the last track he released
@@jdillasmpc2774 search up last beat on TH-cam then that's his last song but that was his last released song
Brand new to me in 2024!
I love “brand new old music” it’s timeless.
I first this song as a kid in the early 70s. I've never forgotten it. Truly soulful. ❤
Same with me. I love it. 😎
One of the most beautiful songs iv ever heard
Late sixties pure solid gold
93/KHJ Los Angeles first time I listened to this song. Just never went out of style.
1969 was such an epic year for music, that this gem almost went unnoticed, could have been #1 any other year!
Hell yeah Motown,oldies,psychedelic rock at its peak
A classic in every sense. Perfect harmony. Powerful words. I'm retired and have this song in my trunk of memories as I move into my later years, always dipping inside, pulling it out, and singing along with whatever voice I have left. Thank you, Motherlode.
Bill Lawlor Are you still alive?
😭
💗
Couldn't have said it better myself, my friend.🙏🏽
Well put
One of my ALL TIME FAVORITES Diane Brooks is the female singer on When I die which gives this song a Fifth Demension, Friends Of Distinction , Free Movement Sound
Billboard #18, Cash Box #12; Canada #5 in the fall of 1969 -- Great song!!
oddly recorded in 67 it wallowed around for some reason till they again for some odd reason finally decided to release it in 69 something tells me it was possibly wolf man jack on XERB 1090 bc im almost positive he was the dj i heard play it in reg rotation in 69
Classic song that often gets forgotten on oldies playlists and stations
when i die i hope it’s the 60’s and 70’s all over again ! ✌️🇨🇦
Love this song. Life was great back then. Had my 1st Car . 54 Years ago seems like yesterday.
As a Huge fan of memorable music from that specific year, this one didn't have the same amount of airplay as the others. But what a gem it was ! I get teary every time i hear it ! 🤗👍
Flooded high school memories coming back to me....
I have tears in my eyes bc now I get the message JDilla was trying to deliver in his Donut intro. he is a genious. So sad that he had to die he was so young and talented. noone will EVER deliver music like he did. Rest peacfully Jdilla .. ): ):
The best to do it
2:55, straight tears to my eyes! This song is soulful and the late GREAT J Dilla did it justice when he sampled it. I was gonna try and put my own touch on it, but this, just like "T.R.O.Y", you leave those samples and classics alone. Miss you, Dilla!
My favorite part!
2:56
Carol Kaye’s brilliant musicality was all over this ….
Great song.
Remembered this song from my youth (I'm 65), found it here and played it for my wife, then told her this song expresses exactly my hope regarding my future with her. She looked at me, smiled, and said, "You're feeling romantic, today."
I've loved this song since'69, and they hardly ever played it. A sacrilege!
So true Beverly. A sacrilege.
Loved this tune when it came out. I wish the band had more hits. They deserved it.
This is the sound of Canadian pop music. Listening to this makes me think of driving in the streets of downtown Toronto at night.
Got the album. Wow! A masterpiece from 1969. Released July 26, 1969 reaching #18 on October 11. Should have been #1.
this song is a masterpiece 10/10
An epic gem! One of the greatest songs in the history of music. After 53 years of listening to it, it still chokes me up - always will. The pride of London, Ontario. I have the LP.
I totally agree one hit wonder a meaningful song
At the time, Canada was still waking up to, and realizing, our potential. We were, and are, very proud of this song. Such a wonderful vibe and lyric that still speaks to many of us today. And yes, we got by (and get by) with a little help from our friends to the south (Thank you Carol Kaye).
This is one of five sings I played drums to every day after school in '69...bring back creative real rock music !!!
This great sound was recorded in 1967, it was released 2 years later in 1969.One of the best sounds of the Vietnam War Era.
Sitting in front of my moms house in west pilsen as a child with my transistor radio ,,,,, warm Summer,,that summer of 69. I’ll never forget my block.
This song is absolutely timeless
It is just a fantastic song. Period!! Whatever brought people here is a good thing but the record stands on its own merits.
Hooray for YORKVILLE. It was like a weird world and it was beautiful. Neil, Gordon , Joni and you would find George Harrison and Bob Dylan goofin' around the Mariposa Folk Festival. You Millenials have NEVER seen the likes of the "60s" until now with Rootin' Tootin' Putin on the fuckin' war path.
i came here because of the sample, and it is a great song
Great tune and great memories. Why can't they make music like this anymore?
The production and arrangement on this song is phenomenal.
Great song that has been overlooked by the oldies/greatest hits stations.
Very overlooked.
Agreed.
I just started singing this out of the blue, and I actually found it here. Great memories. I'm 70 now. Still young at heart! Now playing this over and over.
Me too... it just came in mind and forgot who sung it. Thank you UTube
love you DILLA for sampling this! peace
Dilla is a genius for this sample...the feels too strong
I love this song and most of the songs from the late 60s --brings me back to my carefree youth and every family member was alive.
so soulful! Jaydee caught the perfect segment of the song.
LeezMadina yes! thats an actual fact. I miss that man like crazy!!!!!!
It gives me chills
Fantastic record! Should've been a much bigger hit. Very ahead of its time. Surprised that Hall & Oates didn't re-do it!
This should have been a number one hit! The DJ,S and record companies ,don,t promote good artists, like this great group. I,ve alwayys loved this song back in 69, when first came out. Napoleon. Toussaint
Napoleon TOUSSAINT : That's because they unfortunately were just a one-hit wonder...the song made it to Number 18 on America's 1969 Billboard list. That's pretty respectable for a band from London Ontario
Thanks for your reply, and the added information. I guess this group had the same fath, Dennis. YOST, AND THE CLASSIC FOUR, HAD. ANOTHER GREAT GROUP.
Napoleon TOUSSAINT THis is a great song and very underrated. One of my favorites from '69.
+Napoleon TOUSSAINT Hey friend! LOVE THIS TUNE! Those harmonies are so intricate. I sung a bit throughout my life & I have fun trying to sing the harmony parts on this one. PEACE!
Lots of competition in 69. But this is definitely one of the greats from that time. I never hear it replayed, and am glad I found it here.
The year was 1969, freshman at the U of Az Loving it, living it !
Heard this song in the early 70's, I was about 7 years old and love this song so much, great harmony, smooth and sweet.
It's weird how some older songs can leave your memory bank..... Then......BAM!!! You hear it here on the TUBE. You wonder how in the hell did I forget this song? "I used to love it!" Thanks so much for taking me back to re-gather this classic in my head.
Pure joyful blend of voices, guitar, organ, horns, percussion. Forgot about it until hearing on Sirius 60’s Radio just now.
I heard this song in the army in 1969. The Vietnam war was going on. I was station at fort ORD, California in basic training / D-4-1
What a beautiful song. Music from that era was so meaningful and well written. The musicians playing as one organ and the vocals are so much in harmony and tight. This classic still sounding good today. Nothing but the classics can stand the test of time.
What a wonderful song with so many memories.
dilla went crazyy🍩
Play this at my funeral god dammit...🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😂💯
Ohhhhh Yeahh!!
My favorite cousin passed today. She always made the Thanksgiving dinner as we're all that's left of the family. Great Song.
One of my favorite songs of all time!!
one of my favorites didn't even know who sang it
I was 9 years old when it came out
Helped me get through The Nam'...Great song for sure.
I first heard this when I was 14 and at summer camp it stayed in my head for years
I was 13 at the time listening to this on my hometown Detroit, Michigan on CKLW AM Radio in Windsor
Sitting on the beach of Lake Erie at Port Bruce in the summer of 1970 with this tune playing on CKLW ......memories...
CKLW John Records Laidecker!!!
The Big 8
Teddie bear! the BIG 8
I was in Alpena...LOL
Used to listen to CKLW in historic Gettysburg....Thanks for the memory....
Came out when people made some real songs. This tune will give you the chills,excellent!
One of the best one hit wonders to come out of the year 1969
Non-commercial WXRB-FM, Dudley-Webster, MA (95.1) plays this song on a regular basis. Great harmony and some nice stereo sound on this song.
Beautiful, exquisite, soulful tune from a great Toronto Band. Thanx for posting.
I always liked this song. It has nice words.
The great Carol Kaye doing her thing on the bass...! Legendary!
Magnifique! What a classic soul beat and groove! Sad they broke up! They sound like Tower of Power!
They do sound just like Tower of Power. Same style/same vibe.👍
J Dilla your truly amazing!!!! RIP!!!!
LOVE this tune and LOVE these Guys! Thanks for the Beautiful Memories Motherlode!
God Bless You ALL,
Love, Shawne
Not just outstanding, ...but, a very sexy song too. Listen to that voice inflection. No singer does that today, without their voice cracking, and going out of tune. This is talent, that doesn’t exist today.
Back in the day baby, Back In The Day!

William, I know sir. I was 13 years old going to Jr high school here in Detroit, Michigan listening to CKLW AM, Windsor, Canada.
Now that I'm older, I would be interested in seeing the recording setup for this song. Great lyrics. Great song. Great production!
I love this song, i remember when i was 18 and heard this song and loved it, now i'm 60 and still love it and the 70s music :)
I totally forgot about this song, always loved it, and I just shared with a few friends I've had since the 70's. I'm a young 66 , lol)

Tremendous Sound Quality,Huge Smash Hit Aug./Oct. 1969.
Fab tune. Beautiful harmony

Welcome to the show, it’s time for the super stars, tonight’s next guest, the incredible…
I'm here from the donuts album it really is a bittersweet feeling knowing that he sampled this knowing that the inevitable was near but even though that was true he gave us his gift one last time. and that's what life is all about
Love this song
Reminds me of the sunset on a warms summer evening
I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious husband of 34 yrs. I come here often to listen to this song and I read all the comments. I'm praying for The Lord to give you comfort and peace thru this time. I hope you both believer's in Christ and will soon be together again for all eternity, forevermore.

This is my prayer to my loved ones....my kids....Thank you Dilla.
Love this Canadian group
One of my all time faves from 1969! Love it!
Reminds me of my late husband too who lost his battle with alcoholism ,a beautiful song that should have been a hit
I haven heard this song for many many years, so many memories of my self and a very close friend we both took off to Job Corps back in 1971. After six months we returned 6 months later I enlisted in Marines. I heard later that my friend had became a drug addict he later passed away what a lost he was like a brother to me .
Summer of '69...I was 13.
❤️
Written by band members Smitty Smith and Steve Kennedy. . . ..great song. . . .
What a great tune. Thanks for posting.
One of my first "Live Performance" experiences at our family cottage country in Huntsville, Ontario , Canada.
This song gives me all the feels.
One of the best Toronto bands from the day...Love these guys..
Rick Sanchez
I am so mad that i didnt discover J dilla before he passed. I could listen to him all day. RIP
i'm glad my parents raised me on this in this age. i have a copy of donuts for when i am 18.
Love this song so much,
I really loved radio back then. Such a wonderful song that so many of us remember would never be heard today.
THE UNIVERSE SPEAKS IN A MIRACULOUS WAY.
ONE LOVE.
REST IN PEACE, JAMES DEWITT YANCEY.
