@@robertorick6383- Yep, heard it a few hours ago on the 60s Gold channel on SiriusXM. Its been stuck in my head ever since and it's what made me look for the song here on TH-cam. Great song!
So many talented, black artists; (musicians) both men and women’s voices that surely did put us in a better place. Now for worse; black talent has been removed from the airwaves. Humanity suffers, as a result.
WHAT A GREAT SONG...IM SOO GLAD I WAS BORN AT A TIME I WAS ABLE TO ENJOY MUSIC LIKE THIS....WE WILL NO LONGER HAVE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANYMORE...TH-cam..THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH US OLDER PEOPLE CAN FIND GREAT MUSIC STILL..😊😊
I remember this song from high school in the 60’s. Being from CA, this was my favorite group. Till this day they can’t be beat, the good old days… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️
Joe passed on several years ago but left us with this nice song that he wrote and sung. The Joe Jeffry group was just a simple guitar , bass and drums but they put out a full and upbeat sound. While Joe was African American his sound departed drastically from that of most Motown style artists. This type of music appealed to everyone.
Absolutly.it is a clasic awesome song it remains me of my best friend who just pass what a wonderful song i can sing that song all day long on of my favorites
I listened to this song on my dear and late uncle's record player when I was 6 years old, in 1981. And even though I didn't understand anything (I live in Uruguay) I always liked this song. 20th century American popular music is the best in the world!
Yes the Beatles, Rolling Stones , Buffalo Springfield , CCR, Motown and on and on Blah Blah Praise Praise Yet . I really think this really is the best song to come out of the 60s
I remember this when it came out, I was 15. I got the urge to hear it again last night, and haven't gotten tired of it yet. He and the arrangement are just great.
1st heard this famous 56 wfil about 6/69. Was 12 years old. 1969 year of woodstock and hippies, manson murders and Vietnam War and man on the moon , Nixon as President of USA!
Mom and Dad...thank U for leaving Us With fond memories and great music....our life was a lifetime party.. Thanks to U...We heard Everything..from your days growing up to ours!!!!
I was 13 when I first heard this song playing over and over in my sister’s bedroom. It’s so upbeat that it also became my most favorite song that always brings back memories of the good old days. It makes me happy just to hear it. I love the oldies songs. ❤
This was my generation. Love this song. Played it all the time. Mom and I would dance to this. Miss those days. This is for you mom. Love and miss you😊
I hadn't heard this song in years till last week on a classic hits station. I never get tired of hearing of the classic hits. Brings back that youthful energy we all had back then.
Badger ...this one just fills me with so much love for you. You will always be the only woman that I will ever truly love. I feel so very close to you when I hear this. We will see each other again...I have to believe that...I made this pledge
Uma das músicas internacionais mais marcantes no Brasil, e que em muito inflenciou a música jovem do Brasil nos 1960 e 1970. Um verdadeiro clássico internacional.
Two rhythm guitars in synch make such a satisfying groove. No effects, just groove. One of the songs that made me a lifelong git player 50+ years later.
This is one of the songs that reminds of a sunny day driving on an expressway. Definitely one of my Super favorites which appears on my playlist entitled: Kitty's Vault. Here are a few more of my Super favorites which are in my vault: "When Susie Takes The Plane" by The English Congregation 1971 "Burning Bridges" by The Mike Curb Congregation "I Need You" by America "Questions 67&68" by Chicago
I remember dancing to this song back in Detroit at the paladium back in 1970 I think, this song had a great beat and vocals, it's one of my favorites still, no one heard from Joe Jeffery after his one hit wonder. I couldn't find it on any of those TV avertisments about all the oldies you could order. I guess this song came hard to find!! Sure is nice to hear it again.🎼🎸🎙📻📻📻🎵🎵🎵.
A good song that I heard in the army at fort ord, California in 1969. The Vietnam war was going on maybe going to the jungles to see the viet congs at 29 years old.
God bless you....I almost got sent to Nam. I went to Ft Ord also! Memories huh? I went to Germany instead 73-76. My cousin never made it back though KIA 9 Sept 66... He was a valiant soldier, and his brother volunteered also, special forces in the Air Force. I just found out from one of his other bros couple months ago that he earned five (5) Purple Hearts!! Dang! Them was some "bad hombres" huh?!..
Sometimes I wonder why a song like this becomes so popular and conclude that it's because it somehow touches on the basic need that all of us have to be loved and appreciated. You hear it in the yearning quality of the melody and lyrics and it just resonates with you. Thank you, Joe Jeffrey RIP
I'm 80s baby and around highschool or so I herd this song one time and something about this song really spoke to me. It wasn't like I could Shazam back then. In my 30s working a retail job me and customer were talking about music and I told the person how I've been trying really hard to find a song but I didn't know the lyrics but I knew the melody so I hummed it and right away she knew. And since then I've probably listen to this song over 100 times. It's just something about this song that really is uplifting for me, maybe it's how each different instrument comes in, or the cool lyrics and vocals. I wish I could shake the hands of group and tell them how much I love there song and whenever I get A chance to play this song for other people I do. I wish a popular group would cover it so this song could get the exposure it deserves like how cat power covered sea of love.
This classic never, ever gets old. I too can listen to it 100 times in a row. When that bridge comes in with its funky groove - wow, it's like struttin' & flowing at the same time . Boss tune !!!
I'm 67 now ,and absolutely loved this song when it came out!
Great tune and music back in the day!
Love this song 🎵 ❤️ 💕 ♥️ 💗 😍 🎵
Me too.
Love this song!
I’m 66 now ad this is my all time favorite song! It’s timeless!!😊
About 1966
The hit was 1969 station at fort ORD California active duty regular army.
My brother was inducted into the Army there 1/2/1967.
This song for some reason is hardly played on oldies radio. This is what black music is, not what they are putting out today
I heard it recently on a couple of Satellite Radio stations for Serrius: 60's Gold on 6 and Soul Classics of the 1960's.
I quite agree with you brother peace and joy be with you Amen and Amen
No universo da música não existe cor de pele, música é música.👍

Loved this song back in 1969 when I was 14. Always wondered why it didn't charted higher, such an amazing song!
Me too!! We're the same age!
This song is just as exciting as my Amazing Mets were back then in 1969!
Love love this still and I’m 63 but takes me back to 1969 when I was 10
One of my favorites as a teenager... I could listen to this over and over.

I'm 67 now and not only have I always loved this song, but I still have the 45 record.
I remember this song from high school in the 60’s. Being from CA, this was my favorite group. Till this day they can’t be beat, the good old days… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️
The awesome summer of '69. Heard this song everywhere on people's car radios and those carrying transistors.
Im 69 n i always remembered this song. Love it!

I agree!!!

Don't forget the horn.
Very fun song to play on guitar.
I was also 14 in the summer of '69, a Canadian in Cincinnati for that summer. All great memories. So many cool songs that year.
This is my grandfather and I love you here. When they clean up the music.
It's awesome.
So Joe is your grandaddy?
@@erickrocket yes he is
Hands down this is one of the best 1 hit wonders of the 60s! If this song doesn't get you tapping your feet you must be somewhere RIP !
Where di all this great music go ? Look at the Crap they give us now. What a great time in life. Jim
1969 - a special year, and a special person - I'll never forget either
I had this song played at my wedding.. Its a TRUE wedding staple. Many of the older generation family enjoyed it.
Great song selection to play at an occasion of love & unity !

I’m almost 70 years old and I still can’t get enough of this song
Brings back memories of good old years Summer of 1969
I was 14 in a beetle 1960 whit the wolfburg radio blown away by this song
I always loved the way it becomes STEREO in the 40 seconds into the record 😅😅
Nothing but GREAT memories
Yes the Beatles, Rolling Stones , Buffalo Springfield , CCR, Motown and on and on Blah Blah Praise Praise Yet . I really think this really is the best song to come out of the 60s
73 now and still love this song.
Great music back then
I’m 68 and still love this song
When this came out on 1970 I absolutely loved it, still do, always will
I'll bet I haven't heard this in at least 40 years, maybe 50. It's sad how such wonderful songs can disappear from radio as well as our own memories.
Man does this take me back. I love this song!
I remember this when it came out, I was 15. I got the urge to hear it again last night, and haven't gotten tired of it yet. He and the arrangement are just great.
I have had the lp and 45 since 1969 ... and bought the cd (with bonus tracks) just last month. I love this song! RIP Joe!!
1st heard this famous 56 wfil about 6/69. Was 12 years old. 1969 year of woodstock and hippies, manson murders and Vietnam War and man on the moon , Nixon as President of USA!
What is there not to like about this song? Nothing, that's what. Just a great, infectious song not heard too much anymore. RIP Joe, and thanks.

1970, I was stationed in Ft Hood... This song will always be on my minda... RIP J. Jeffrey..
RA
Still one of my all time favorites. I could listen over and over in 2021.
This is one of those songs that when I hear the opening chords, I have to pick up a guitar!
Yee ha!
Same
love this song, now i'm 70, since I was 14

THIS IS MY STYLE OF A GOOD AND SIMPLE LOVE SONG
This was my generation. Love this song. Played it all the time. Mom and I would dance to this. Miss those days. This is for you mom. Love and miss you😊
I saw the Joe Jeffery Group sing this in about 1970 it wasn’t long after this song came out. They played for a Telethon at WKBW in Buffalo, N.Y.
Do you remember Wilmer and the Dukes?😂 "Give me one more chance"
@@connieMILLER-gf2cz I do! I had the 45, they used to play “The Inferno” at Glen Park in Williamsville. I never saw them live though.
Can you ever get tired of this classic? I think NOT! Carefree upbeat song!
I hadn't heard this song in years till last week on a classic hits station. I never get tired of hearing of the classic hits. Brings back that youthful energy we all had back then.
@@alanstar9175 agreed! 💯
I also could listen over and over. A "feel good" song.!!
Badger ...this one just fills me with so much love for you. You will always be the only woman that I will ever truly love. I feel so very close to you when I hear this. We will see each other again...I have to believe that...I made this pledge
Always liked this song but rarely hear it on the oldies stations. No one my age ever heard it before and I am 65 years old. It's a shame.
I heard this song on the radio recently.
43, and have listened to this since I was 7 on the now defunct oldies station Magic 96 in Charlotte, NC.
Yeah. I remember it from the old days! Love it!
Uma das músicas internacionais mais marcantes no Brasil, e que em muito inflenciou a música jovem do Brasil nos 1960 e 1970. Um verdadeiro clássico internacional.
Adorava essa música nos meus 15 , 16 anos...
I pledge this is great, has power and you can feel it. Another well done!
I'm 64 , still love this song !

9 yrs old when I first herd this song at my Uncles Bungelo in Newton NJ
Station at fort ord California in 1969 out of high school ready to go to Vietnam. Hearing this song in basic training. D-4-1 infantry post.
Wow! Was at Fort Ord when I listened to this song too. A-3-1 infantry post. Good and not so good memories.
I heard this on SiriusXM 60's the other night. Very cool blast from the past....
One of my mom's favorites I like it too I was a very young when this came out they dont make music anymore alot of crap is out thete
Two rhythm guitars in synch make such a satisfying groove. No effects, just groove. One of the songs that made me a lifelong git player 50+ years later.

Yes, all the above!

Me acabava na pista...era feliz e não sabia ❤️
Essa musica foi usada como exemplo para criar Malandragem de Cássia.
I love this song!
One of the greatest songs ever written
This song makes me want to jump up on top of my breakfast table and do the shimmy! LOL
I get a buzz singing it as close to Joe as I can. Feels really good.
This classic never, ever gets old. I too can listen to it 100 times in a row. When that bridge comes in with its funky groove - wow, it's like struttin' & flowing at the same time . Boss tune !!!

Love This Song!!!! Beautiful....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
