I grew up with this music, the intruders, the stylistics, the Delfonics and on and on and on the best music ever ever ever! Never gets old gets better like fine wine! I’m 73 years old and so glad that the music of my time is generational❤️❤️‼️‼️
So agree with you. I just turned 69. We got to hear a lot of great soul and rock & roll come out; plus the clothes and lifestyle. I learned to play guitar in late 60's and played a lot of soul music in bands and some jazz back then also. I still play.
Bobby Starr is great. Sang lead after little Sonny left from 1970 to 1973. Sang lead on Win Place or Show she’s a winner when we get married to name a few. So sad to hear he passed Marc 17 2022 at age 85 from surgery from lung cancer. Loved me some Bobby Starr( Robert Ferguson)Rest in peace.
@@lillharvee2213 very tragic.....Bird Doultry died......group started falling apart...and Sam " little Sonny " committed suicide after his mom died and his wife left. Big Sonny passed. SAM " Little Sonny"Brown could really sing with a very unique voice but experienced a tragic life.
Actually this tune came out in mid- 4/1968, right around when MLK was assasinated. The Mighty Quinn, No- body but Me, If I were a Carpenter , Spooky, Mrs. Robinson , Heartbreaker, Lady Madonna, Tighten Up, I think It's So Groovy Now, Mony Mony, Journey To The Center of Your Mind, Born To Be Wild , There is Someone Wslking Behind You , Turn Around , Jumping Jack Flash, Open My Eyes, Yummy Yummy, It's a beautifull Morning, Simple Simon Says, and so on.
1968, I was 14, jumping rope in Philadelphia in front of my parents house. Listening to this song and the sound of the double dutch rope hitting the pavement cause it was to dark to see it. Oh those days.
@@kdence1541 actually Bobby Starr made his TV debut with the Intruders on December 13, 1971 on Soul Train doing this lip sync number of 68. " Cowboy to Girls". Soul Train played the recoding sound track of a song and the group would lip sync or sing along with no mics.
The Intruders are at the top of my list of male vocal groups from the 60's and 70's along with The Dells, The Temps, The Dramatics, The Stylistics you name it. Sweet, sweet soul music.
May I respectfully add the Chilites, Little Anthony and the Imperials, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, Curtis Mayfield and the impressions, The Delphonics and the Five Stairsteps 😉 A fantastic era for music lovers!
The Intruders were amongst the many groups that came out of Philly with what I call "The Delfonic Philly Sound." Produced by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff....DAMN GOOD MUSIC !!
You know the idea to stick a radio in the window so the whole neighborhood could hear.. Back then my second older brother would sing all the songs and I would memic him.. The radio station was WOKJ in Jackson, Mississippi and it would come in real clear at night. and this particular one was one of my favorites.. Back when eight track tapes were invented.. Well this songs have stood the test of time.. 😎 LB May 2022
Neither of those staments are true. The times just change. This music is amazing and there is music from today that is still amazing@@monilaninetynine3811
The lyrics, vocal arrangements, production n overall structure of this song is so unique n absolutely beautiful. Gamble n Huff were dynamic composers n producers.
Hell yeah this shit hot 🔥, got me hype, that dam beat and everything, those dam 🎻 violin coming in and out, I'm trying to figure out a way to rearrange it to make a hot beat
Do you see the babies to the right? How incredbile were those times. shucks! I could have been allowed to dance there. I was 8 in 1968 listening to this song on a transistor radio on a twin bed that I shared with my sister in New Orleans
Lord the man is just so fine. Go ahead Bobby Starr with your fine self. He was the lead singer long enough to make an impact and continue with hits for the Intruders.
We used to be in the after hours joint digging this. I always made them play it. It is my fav. My daddy was a cowboy. I just recently lost him. Giddy up daddy. R.I.P.
It was nice of Don to have them come on and perform this timeless classic. For the record the song is from 1968 so it would not be another 3-years until Soul Train came rolling down the tracks.
I love this song back in the day. Oh fun we had growing up in the 70’s. Good music and good times. I’m so blessed to have grown up in that era. Nothing like it.
51 Seconds in the couple the dude with the green coverall's and the chick with the brown shirt! that's dancing? All so, I love this song, but notice he's lip singing.
I cry bc this song reminds me of my father growing up and he had this song on repeat especially when we had company in the basement with an open bar. My daddy is heaven and I will see him again. Thank you, daddy, for happy memories!✝️💜
I was in the 8th grade when this song came out in 1968. Here I am on September 4, 2022 still listening to Cowboys and Girls. I have this C.D. today by the Intruders. Philly had so many talents artists back in the 60's like the Intruders, Delfonics, etc. I Will Always Love My Mama by the Intruders is favorite song after my mother passed away Christmas Eve 2013, the day before her birthday, Christmas Day. I cry every time I hear I Will Always Love My Mama. 😢 😭Lord Jesus, I miss those days back in the late 60's and 70's growing up listening to real music.

I am now 67 years old and I am still listening to this song, March 7, 2023. I wish I had a time machine that I could go back to the days when this song came out to see family members and friends that's currently deceased.
The 60's was a great time for soul music from everywhere. Detroit, Memphis, Philly... the dance clubs were busy showcasing all of our favorites. Cowboys to Girls was a 1968 single featuring Sam "Little Sonny" Brown singing the lead. Little Sonny had some time off from 1969 to 1973. This SoulTrain appearance was probably during that time and featured Bobby Starr on vocals but appears to be a lip sync of the original 1968 hit. Met them a few times. They were excited hard working performers who did many long one night road trips.
when we were young and full of soul nothing like the haters and lazy knuckle heads coming up behind us who threw away everything we stood and work for with their selfish azz
Timeless classic written by Gamble and Huff three years before the birth of Philly International. The Title Song, COWBOYS TO GIRLS, along with BASEBALL GAME were my favorites from this album.
Funny how time pass away people forget this song was pulled out of one of the history archives now Beyoncé is talking about Cowboys but this song have been out for decades and it was a number one hit in my day Don Cornelius was the man that no matter who are what song was trending it was a hit on SOULL TRAINN!!!!!
Let’s not forget their other big hit “I’ll Always Love My Mama”, timeless classics.
Yes Lord!!! One of my favorites..
Yup Love that song
My favorite is TOGETHER.

These cats were something else. If you don’t like this song you just don’t know.
Listen to that bass! Gawd!
I’m dancing through 2022!
Oldies but goodies. The most underrated group of the 60’s and 70’s
You are so right, I believe the Intruders jump started Philadelphia International Records.
The genius of Gamble and Huff
ふ
Why don’t groups sing like this anymore? These groups had more class in thier finger nail than the groups of today.
More class and loads more talent
Neither of those staments are true. The times just change. This music is amazing and there is music from today that is still amazing@@monilaninetynine3811
bc purposely orchestrated this way THEY don’t want music like this they want music of chaos (divide and conquer)
There is a few groups that still sing like this in the last few years..Joey Quiñones..Durand Jones to name a couple
AMEN BRO AMEN
actually Sad how Low we've gone
Why can't music be like this today?People who didn't grow up listening to these great artist.Truly missed out.
You got that right ✌️❤️🎶
I agree
Cause people dont appreciate real good music!💯
