A lot of artists would go on Soul Train and lip-sync, this was 100% live!
The name of the bass player in yellow is Kurtis (Kurt) Teel. Give it up for him and RIP.
He’s playin that bass!!! 🫶🏾🫶🏾
He did an excellent job playing Mr. Jacksons bassline!
One of the Most Famous, Iconic *Basslines* Ever ...
yeah Happy Mondays used it for Rave On
But the guy that originally did it is not in this video! His name is Anthony Jackson!
Ever!!!
This is arguably the most iconic base line of all time... it's INSTANTLY recognizable to practically everyone.
1970's vs 1980's 1990's 2000's 2010's and 2020's! The 1970's is still the best decade for Black folks. Only a few years removed from the Civil Rights struggles, but that decade of the 70's had more love and fun for black folks than any other in history. I'm fortunate to have experienced it first hand.
Hendrix and Louis Armstrong?
❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
Brother, you speak the truth!
That bass player is getting it in. Most folk don't realize how difficult it is to play this bass line with a pick, and keep it grooving for 5-plus minutes. #respect
AMAZING! And a white cat. 😉
@@mmmcosta there were alot of mixed raced back up bands back in the day. Whites had soul too!
Next to the piano, the bass is my favorite instrument. I love the deep sound it produces!! 🎸 🎸 🎸
As a amateur bass player it would be very difficult to do with a pick, that man is a amazing bass player.
Heybro that's nothing to bumping that p-bass so funky for 5 + minutes without making The Stankface. That tune is fun to play. That drummer was right there too.
They were makin it happen on that one - live on Soul Train!
OMG! That guitar riff is the bomb! I am losing my my mind in my living room dancing to this jam! I remember listening to this jam non stop when I was a teenager! Now my own daughters and their children be jamming to this song! I love it!
I do believe he, (William Powell), took drugs to help alleviate the pain and stress from his cancer. Sometimes the body tells you when something is out of whack. Maybe he didn't realize he had cancer because the drugs would numb him until he went to the hospital after the car accident. Had he not taken any drugs back then, the cancer could've been caught early on, but then again medicine wasn't advanced back then like how it is now. He is so handsome and will never be forgotten❣❣❣❣
This is a LIVE performance and the band is killing it..this is a wonderful show..top notch The O'Jays is on point as always
Agree! Some insist that Soul Train has never gone live but there's no way this isn't LIVE!
that bass player is the epitome of 70's coolness !!!!
Kurtis Teel.
@@stefanlundblad7693 thanks
Many comments about the bass player. His name was Kurtis Teel and yes ladies and gentlemen he was all that. And more. Funny cat and really driven to succeed you could tell it already when he was my roomate at Berklee in 1971. He cut quite a figure even back then when his main axe at that point was a huge natural finish Telecaster bass. And yes, gone way too soon at age 32 in LA where he had settled. A long road from Kentucky folks, and yes, a helluva player and person.
Talk about a funky bass groove! 🎵
This one of the hardest bass line to play, because you play with a pick. This bass line is all 16th 🎶 notes, its funky bass line and awesome 😎.
Still on that bass! Amazing
@@rickygranderson9625 Yes it is
✨💫 @@jamesrichardson3322 Thx for that nugget! 💫✨
@@shemcg7830 Thanks 😊 for what? Your welcome ❤️
Every day that we have Eddie Levert and Walter Williams still with us is a damn good day.
Yessss
Peace Village ,This is How WE Keep Our Souls Balanced Tribe! Soul Muzik Ya'll
You ain't never lied.❤
AMEN!!!
Exactly!!
Happy Birthday to Eddie Levert, longtime member and co-lead singer of the legendary O'Jays, born June 16th, 1942. On June 16, 2024 he celebrated his 82nd birthday. By any measure, the O'Jays are one of the most important Soul Music groups of all-time. Whether delivering funky dance music, romantic ballads, or thoughtful social commentary in song
The o Jay's one of the best groups ever
The bass player is smokin!, what a groove!
That’s Kurtis Teel on bass.
Absolutely!.
@@specialprojekts501, thank you I was hoping someone would clarify that.
Have to give that man the credit he deserves.
The days when you can bump into someone while dancing and not have to worry about getting shot, oh how I miss those days.
millennial kids..for the record...THIS is what a funky bass line sounds like...timeless greatness.
LOOK AT ALL THAT NATURAL BEAUTY NO STANKY WEAVES OR WIGS, NO CAPITALAR EYELASHES NO DESTRUCTION OF THE BODY WITH ALL THOSE DAMM TATTOOS!!
My favorite group of all time. RIP William Powell
THAT'S MY BABY WILLIE POWELL PERFORMING.
GO WILLIE POWELL REST IN PEACE WILLIE POWELL 🕊
Waddy Wachtel ?!
RIP William Powell
& a Big band...check out that
Full Horn section
NOTHING LIKE HEARING THIS LIVE!! It's 2023 I'm still praying for you Mr. Eddie 🙏🫂❤️
The 70s was the greatest decade for music. The OJAY'S was one of the groups that made that decade special ,their music had strong meaning and good lyrics. The 70s was the times where most people got alone and respected each others and one main thing the men and women pants wasn't hanging down!!! RESPECT YOURSELVES 😢😢 SHAMEFUL !!!! ❤ SHACK!!
🥀R.I.P William Powell 🥀
R.I.P. Mr. Cornelius. You was one heck of a host. There will never be music like this again. Nor will there ever be a host as classy as you were.
One of the funkiest bass lines ever
Being played like on guitar, too!
@@ksims425 So true, still the funkiest!. agreed!
@@ksims425 that’s because it is a guitar 🎸😂 I always thought it was a bass, as a matter of a fact everyone believes it’s a bass but it’s actually Electric Guitar being played down the octave listen to the muted strings!
@@zionee1 It's only got four strings! It's a bass
@@ksims425 you’re right it does my bad I can admit I was wrong he’s playing with a pick that’s why the attack sounds like a guitar and he’s able to mute the strings! 👍🏾
Those 3 men were so talented.
Can you imagine growing up with the music there playing today? I would lose my god damn mine. Thank god for old school music that kept me sane in the membrain.
I miss Soul Train...
I'm from Philly born and raised nothing like our music 🎶 🤝🏾💯
I am from Florida lol
Alvin Cook I grew up in Ohio and I agree with you 💯
@@dannyfriendly3105 🤝🏾🤝🏾🤝🏾✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽💯💯💯💯
Oh and btw The Ojays brought that hot sauce straight from Canton Ohio!
I'm from Texas
.. and Man you ain't lying !!!!
I am still listening to this song, September 4, 2022. This song has meaning because people will do anything for money. Money is the root of all evil. I cannot believe the guy in the middle, William Power died at the age of 35 in 1977. I was an undergraduate student at Morgan State University in 1977. RIP, William Powell.
No baby, the good book tells us that the LOVE of money is the root of all evil money is neither good nor bad. It just depends on how a person chooses to use it as well as get it.☮️✝️💟
When the live version can sound as seamless as a studio version for a song with so many parts…I didn’t see the horn section until the middle. Wow!
New Soul Train performances by our incredible Philadelphia musicians every Friday!
Epic
Great! Still looking for the 1972 Johnny William's performance
thanks for the update
That's great!
This just made my day!!
That’s our grandmas and grandpas getting down on the dance floor🕺🏾 💃🏽 😂
You may be onto something. 😀 My Grandma was 18 when this video was released. :) But MOST People's Grandparents would have been more like 27. 😀
@@MarySmith-lv3mo Im 36 and oldest grandkid - my grandparents were 42 and 45 here in 1974
That is hilarious. You might be right.
😎✊ Boy that white guy on bass (Curtis) kiickin that bass in the azz!!!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶🎵🎼🎶🎵🎺🎷🎺🎷🎺🎷🎺🎷🎺
Yeah he's killing it.
The original bass line is by Anthony Jackson
Hehe
Yeah.....White Boy gots skillz!!!!
@@jamessneed5560 My brother is a bass player and says this is a difficult song to play.
Live , no lip syncing. Rare for Soul Train
Not rare...it was going on for a while but Don Cornelius said it became too expensive.
@@ms.ladysanders3939true, not rare it became a thing of the past. You’re correct
Ain't it the truth!
Absolutely lip synching (play back). Look at the bass player.
right? the best.
PLENTY DOLLAS ON THAT BASS
So many stylish afros! How I miss afros.
Wishing the great O'Jays frontman, Eddie Levert, the happiest of birthdays!# ( June 16th) 💘 ♊ 👑
I'm 67, I remember this, I'm smiling with my heart. Thank you for this stroll down memory lane . I wished there was a good combination of singers and rappers. Maybe it's me but there seems to be more rappers. The magic of the OJays, The Temptations, The Dramatics to The Dells, The Muscles Etc. Who's going to step in place, when they're gone. No one can take there place but who's going to keep the magic going. Smile, Everyone
That's a stone groooooooove, yeah!
Everyone keeps talking about Queen and what great singers they are. Sorry, but nobody beats the great soul and R&B artists from the 60s and 70s. Not even Queen.
And these guys were one of them.
Say it again🎉❤
Queen is the only band that had four members to all write a number one song. That being said yes the 70's Soul music is my favorite.
Gerald Levert's dad is fire on those vocals!! So is the other guys...sophisticated funk!!#pure 70's!!
The other guys are Walter Williams (the other lead in the group) and William Powell.
Eddie Levert.. is his name. Yes he’s Gerald’s father but before we knew the Teddy bear. His pops paved the way for him.
That's like saying I didn't know Nicole Richie's dad can sing. LOL
Actually, Eddie Levert isn’t singing lead on this. Walter Williams is singing lead. Both Eddie and Walter do lead vocals on specific songs.
The O’Jays were a powerhouse with two singers bomb enough to sing lead.
SOULTRAIN....THE BEST.
They was lit on this one. Especially 2 dudes up front with big Afros.
Soul train was amazing. I was too white and young to appreciate how incredible it was
There are bass lines, and this is a killer 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵
The backup band is playing like they just got paid
I Love so much this music
Cash Money
Ain’t they though?!! 🔥🔥🔥
Cause they did!!!! They’re on soul train.
🤣✌
This was just one hit off a super album. Ship Ahoy!
O Jays became Funk Legends with this cut
& Backstabbers
One powerful bass take at the top the prize.
Soul Train Gang gettin’ down!! That right there was just to damn funky!
This level of funk is illegal in some countries. Unreal!!! 🕺
Preach 🙏 🎉
In what were the ultra defying and innovative sounds of Motown and Stax in during the 1960s, it was the brassy, classy and sophisticated sounds of Philadelphia International that rocked the 1970s.
Gamble and Huff, engineer Joe Tarsia, the writers arrangers and the MFSB/TSOP band took it to the next level!! I'm from Detroit, but Philly soul rules!!
Still sparkling 2023!!💥
Talk about a funky bass grove🎶
The brother in the blue shirt at 3:42 thats funny. LOL He jamming!😂
Giggin!!! Swangin! Boy this is one of thee best songs ever made
Incredible and all played & sang live! We were blessed with The O'Jays, Stylistics, Chi-Lites, UnDisputed Truth, Curtis Mayfield, and many others in 8th grade 1972-73!
THE GROUP that defined R& B music in the 70s!!!! What a jammin song !!!!!!
These guys sound like they are really excited to be on Soul Train. The energy is exciting here.
From the good old days when singers could sing and a band could play without all modifications on computers. Remember those days? I do!
I O jays working it / can’t be beat -Eddie & Walt -sang brothers -👀👌✅
Mean streets oh hell ya u know it
The classic episodes where the band didn't mime... They PLAYED!!!
I swear I wanna teleport back to this time...good safe "sweat your press and curl out" partying...look at all the beautiful people
Live baby
I love me some Eddie LeVert is one my favorites .
J' adore la basse et O'jays too.
That band is kicking -butt. The drummer had me going. Music nowadays suck! This is music
Music back then was the greatest.Im dating myself.but that's the truth.
Just Respect...And Thanks !!!
Year 1973. I love the 70’s soul music

That live band makes all the difference. They rollin, and they're good...SALUTE TO LEGENDS
Side Note: That Band tho! Peace!
This a Rare LIVE Band performance on The Soul Train.. Brother on the Drum Kit is On Fire🔥🥁
It is clear that these Legendary brothers take great enjoyment in performing live. You can see the professionalism and they have a unique way of changing up on how they make the song sound but keeping it real. O'jays for life.
Yes O'Jays for life. Unfortunately they have announced this year will be their last tour. 😕 They are calling it the last stop on the Love Train.
This show should have been a must-see
It was then and still is!
@@kevingoins9858 I can tell... love the American singers
They were Ssssoooo bad, I saw them twice in the 70's!
It always was 👍🏾
❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
You know what when The Ojay's sang this Awesome song you Danced like you were RICH. 😀
Master chef riche 1933 road royce 2.5 milion
REAL music that never changes.
Damn. This is tight for a live performance.
We should demand they bring this type of music back!!
One of the dopest videos in the wormhole of TH-cam.
Now thats called having a good time.
One of the greatest songs off ALL time !!!
Yes Sir. Without a doubt! What a treat to see this classic performed live on Soul Train.
I totally agree
@@michaelkincaid4660 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
And so revelant today!
not into soul or funk much, but this track's bustin' on all levels. Rock on Philly...
🎩SWEETNESS FROM 2022 This is my song♥️Thanks4sharing 🌹
What a beautiful song I love it nice memories... How are you Carrie ?
DAMN! THAT WAS FIRE!!!
I have seen the OJays live in the early 80’s and later in the early 2000’s. Great vocalist for sure. This is rare for Soul Train to actually have live acts. You can tell the acoustics are not set up for live bands in the Soul Train studio. The band was playing like they were playing in a stadium.
This is a true song here ! Mr. Anthony Jackson was killing it on that bass . No Doubt ! 🎸🎸🎸
that not anthony jackson bro
Curtis Teel on bass.
@@jonp2338 Anthony Jackson as a session man., plays and signs the song with his fantastic bass line
