one of the best R& B groups in Philly music history! Love this song and the amazing talents of these 4 young men who made Philly proud. 38 years ago on this date, the Sixers won the NBA title, spawning this classic song!
..have always loved Pieces of a Dream but I have never heard them with this fine guitarist before..his sound, feel and tasty notes really lift the song to new heights..reminds me a little of Boston guitar playing..thanks for sharing this..massive..New York by way of Philly..1958!..stay safe..April 9, 2021..
4 5 4, I been trying to remember the name of this song for the longest. I can’t even try to explain how much I love this song and group. It is a part of me.
Kyle Graves - Yes! Love this too. I taped this onto VHS tape in 1984, and I’m so happy that it survived all these years and was convertible. Special group, great concert. “When Moses Malo-o-o-o-one ... said to Dr J”. ❤️
I’m listening to music like this in 2024. This is what I call feel good music you can only feel it in your soul and heart and it makes you wanna get up and get down funky.
Just finding this and I am so glad I did! What a masterpiece by the one and only Pieces of A Dream. Love the guitar solo. I was in college when this came out. Great memories!
Glad you like it! Love this concert too - they were the best. (The guitar solo is courtesy of Randy Bowland, who has continued on to have a great career in music. You can follow him at instagram.com/randybme/)
Sooo nice! I've been listening to this group for about 20 years and this is the 1st time I've seen video of them performing. Very grateful to the person who posted this video, thank you!
So glad you like this! It was a special concert, from start to finish. Just watched the whole thing over the weekend, in order to publish a TH-cam playlist that runs the songs in the order they were performed. What a great band - and they were so young.
The first time I heard this song, it was coming from your room at 2:20--the music teachers room--the woman in the stripped dress--I know you--and I thank-you for playing this after the student's left for the day--the song echoed thru the halls--so absolutely the coolest sound! This was in 1984. 37 years ago--I can't believe that I see you at 2:20---you must have gone to this concert around this time. Can't remember your name now. At Orchard Villa Elem.
For a long time I didn't know what the title of this song was, neither who performed it, I thought it was Agent Double O Soul, but I identified it only about 2 years ago.
Just finding out that bassist/lead vocalist Cedric Napoleon passed away. 😢 This is a majorl loss to those of us in the Philly music community and music world wide. Rest easy brother Cedric
Who is still listening to this great groove in 2020 with rona keeping us locked in!
I was listening to it BEFORE rona! 🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely ME!!!!!

Bass player Cedric was the best bass player when played the upright bass
Thanks for the upload 👍🏻
I didn't know that "Pieces of a Dream" were playin waY back then (80's) . . . . I just discovered them several years ago
Better late than never
Yes - I saw them play a couple of times in the 80s - At the old Valley Forge Music Fair, and at a stage in West Philly. They were the best.
Them dudes were jammin'!!!

Yes, totally agree about the guitarist - the wonderful Randy Bowland (instagram.com/randybme). He just kills it!

That's not "funk" brother man. That's true r&b groove and talent!

Waw. Just as nice as the first time I heard this song. In 2022 it still sound great.
Love my black brothers. Man this tune brings back good memories of the real black radio stations in Detroit.
I like this, a black jazz group & they are dressed nice, playing & singing good jazz music!!
Who do you think invented Jazz? And you surprised they are black?
Now this is what music sounds like. Beautiful! Love this song. Great memories.
And Cedric sings this like there was no tomorrow! ❤️
I remember seeing these guys perform back in 1980
Love this song….Rest in Heavenly peace, Cedric….

Randy Bowland was a awesome guitarist. I saw these bad cats in Baltimore back in the day. I think Randy formed a group called Mission.
Masterclass with Warm Weather
First heard this tune on the show "Jazz Trax". Been listening to it ever since.
Cedric is an outstanding vocalist and one fonky bass player!
This is a stellar vocal!!!

Rest In Peace Mr Cedric Napoleon 🕊️
So sad, may he R.I.P.

Yes, just heard, very sad news. May he rest in peace. 💔
Obscure in today's world, unfortunately. It has such a unique groove. This song is begging for a trap remix imho.
I remember I couldnt wait to sing the Moses Malone and Dr J line as a kid lol
Dudes from accounting rockin’.
Mr. Napoleon
RIP Cedric Napoleon 🎵🎵💯😭
Such sad news - may he rest in peace.
I couldn't be sitting down here.
Jordan was yet to be drafted at the time of this concert. No one knew yet 😂
Can anyone tell me how many grams are in one pound? I need to know this information.
453.592. Why do you ask? 😂❤️ (Good one, I had no idea…)
@@bostonjazz80 I can only imagine that including the decimal point and 3 significant digits after would have messed with the catchiness of the tune. 😂
WTFFFFFFF !!!
Who the hell dislike this ?
Evolution is supposed to be better far as great music we stopped in the 80s 😔
Yes, I confirm. After 1989 only the breadcrumbs remain.
What city are they from?
