This is when music was music, not the RAP garbage we hear in the Black community. I remember watching the Midnight Special on Friday nights back in the early 70's. Happy 50th 1973 Anniversary Classes of Durham High School & Hillside High School - Durham, North Carolina. I am listening to this song, July 4th, 2023.
Back in the day they had to perform for white people, that did'nt have any rhythm are soul, that's what I hate about the live performances for our good ole legendary soul steppers.
The first time I heard this jam it was early winter 1974 I was 15yrs young and was in the 9th grade, the final year at McClure Jr Hi etc..... Where did all the time go???
@@sk8queen yes, so true. All one has to do is watch Soul Train. An overweight person was an anomaly. The food industry added high fructose corn syrup to everything and people wonder why there are so many obese people.
You'd be better off with a short chubby guy like me Karie. Delmos Whitley the one on left lead singing. He became a drug addict robbed a bank and did about twenty years in prison. Released I think recently poor fella.
@harolddottin10 My dad and his brothers were tall, haha. I suspect their height influenced my attraction to tall men. However, there's nothing wrong with men who are under six feet. My mom's brother was rather short, but he was a good man. It's also sad to learn that the singer threw his life away.
have always loved loved loved this song... great vocal performance here... (and good recording)... it's s'posed to be the MIDNIGHT Special and Brother Curtis just reminded everyone that it was shot in the A.M... 🤣 🤣 🤣

Remember them back in the day in SF,LOVE them!
Always have had a thing for tall and lanky guys and the guy on the left is one of them. Love his smooth moves
Back then everyone was slim, trim, and about the same size. Things didn't go haywire until all the frankenfood started being produced.
