@@Denise27_27 like with everything in life....change. I thank the Stars that I was a child growing up in Florida near the beaches the 50s, 60s and 70s. LOVED ALL the variety of music.... (except rap.) I'm a hippie at heart but remember the Viet Nam war was still happening when this song came out. I used to hear my older sister cry to sleep a lot getting news of her friends death in Nam. She played a lot of Motown.
@@GOLDENFLYWARRIOR I've visited Florida for 12 weeks and you are very lucky to live there. I wanted to stay but sadly was there on a visa 😢. I had to return to England 🙄
I am 70 years old, I grew up in Chicago and listened to some of the greatest artists of my time! Blessed! I still remember the words to these songs !🙏❤️
You and I are about the same age. One of the fun things about memories is when you vaguely recognize a tune and then it comes to mind as one your Mom and or Dad used to listen to.
I was 13 when this song was released and thought those days would never end. It went by much too quickly. Mostly, I remember feeling hopeful with my whole life ahead of me. It feels like a lifetime ago which it was. I miss so many of the people that were part of my life back then.
I turned 21 in 1970 and the music from that decade will never be surpassed. Without a doubt, my favorite decade! All things good came to me during the 1970s...returning from jungles of Vietnam, getting out of the army, meeting my future wife, having our three kids, my first new car, first new home for my young family. It just doesn't get much better than that. The American Dream became a reality for us. Don't ever give up the dream.
@@bigstuff52 LOL!!! But old enough to enjoy the great music as we all did. The lead singer sounds a little like the late, great Levi Stubbs of the fabulous, 'Four Tops'.
Brrrrrpp! This song is so the soundtrack of my youth. Maybe 14 or 15 and it just captures the “air” of that era. Simple, carefree, optimistic and passionate. Who knew the words would be so true, “Give me just a little more time…” I SO love this song
These songs makes you want to cry, has it been that so long ago I'm 61 now, and I can't believe it, it was just yesterday and now it's 50 years later !
Love this song! I would play this record when I was in the 7th grade. Wow nothing compares to music we had back in the day. I am 65 years old now. This song still ROCKS! AMEN!!
I'm 67 and just about evert night I listen to the music that was the best, 70's music. Chairman of the Board, love the music, still tapping my feet (when they don't hurt....lol)
This is another golden oldie that never gets enough playtime on the radio. This group put out really great music. The music people do doesn't even feel like music. This has INSTRUMENTS, not synthesizers. We need more heartfelt music like this! Thank you for sharing this. God Bless You & stay safe.
I was 15 in 1970, what a great year as they all were then. I am so glad I was born in the 50's, all my young life living standards were improving and we were still FREE.

Wtf happened to music...this is everything a song should be. I have no clue what they even say on their songs today. You understand every single word,great rhythm,catchy phrase,and you can actually dance to songs of the 50s-78s
Today's music is in the shitter ...makes me wanna vomit ...it's one big pile of shit !! I dumped my girlfriend because she likes that garbage . i"d rather listen to my 4 year old niece play the fucking kizoo all day than listen to stuff out now ...mozart & betoveen all rolling in thier graves knowing this crap is polluting the airwaves .
Funky, soulful, rocking song. Can't sit still when I play this! My older sisters played this over and over dancing in the living room. Even my Mom loved this. Here I am 2020, loving it! Fantastic!
+robert glenn, don't stop if it is good to you then play-on. I fill you about going back in time when good music was real, classic and soulful, miss those days but we still have the songs.
we had no phones,no internet,no x box's,all we had was music,but fuck,were we lucky or what to have the best music of all time? i loved being a teenager late60's/early 70's.
+C0ckney Red, Yes you are so right we may not have had everything but we did have good soul music good clean music and that music will never be again. Great times back then.
I do believe we 40plusers lived through the most free and creative times in the history of our country. Creativity and free thought only comes with a free spirit. We lost our rights to think and live how we want; sadly we will lose our ability to create beautiful soulful music.
Im a 70 year causcasian old gal..lol and i still listen and dance to motown only music i love..but i must admit im into KPOP now too. Love the kpop dancing as much as the kpop music. ❤❤
Chairman of the board never gets old and the song. Give me just a little bit of your time. Never gets old neither thanks for putting this song on youtube
Hi Pam. My mom uses to have these records. I was born in 1971. It feels like a life time. My mom died of covid in 2021. I think of when she played this. Takes me back as a kid
I definitely remember this song by The Chairman of the Board. My older sister definitely loved this song the whole household was swinging off this song everytime the song was being played over the airwaves the dance floor was definitely crowded. I dedicate this song to my older sister Beverlee Brown RIP.
My sincerest condolences for the loss of your Sister Berverlee Brown 😢 May she rest well in Heaven I am also a member of the Brown Family Distant family separated by slavery
I know, right? When you complain about no good music today, people say, "It's there, you just have to look for it." You didn't have to "look for it" in 1970. Turn on the radio to your favorite Top 40 station and there it was, as you said "endless." I too was 12 in January 1970, and I loved this song!
Will never be surpassed Walter I’m sure of that I could name a hundred greats and you could too I’m sure Unreal to think about how amazing it was You have to love TH-cam for bringing it all back to us oldies Godspeed bro
I remember playing this for my mother on the phonograph as a child. I enjoyed being the disc jockey as she cleaned the house and cooked. Brings back fond memories.
YES!! ANTHONY BOYD!! MY MOM HAD US PEELING AND CUTTING UP FRUIT!! SO SHE COULD COOK AND CAN!! THEM!! LISTENING TO THIS MADE IT SO MUCH!! BETTER!!!#2020
A salute to the late great General and the rest of the board. They made us Black,Proud, Soulful and we did say it out loud. What a great era for Soul brothers and sisters...they made my school days and growing up so happy. Songs like this and groups like the Board shall never come again.
Bought the 45 when this song came out. I was just a kid, but I really dug this tune. 50 years later, still a strong tune. It's held up to the test of time!!!
😷😷😷These sounds are reminder when the United States was moving in the right direction, with all it's struggles, continue to move forward and the music reflected that. So grateful for what these great artist left behind.🙂🙂🙂
Yes! Throughout the 1970s, there was a glimmer of hope at the end of the dark tunnel leftover from the '50s and '60s. No other medium brought the races together as music and disco did in the '70s, something our nation so desperately needs in the darkness of the 2020s.
WOW takes me back when I was a pup, just a knucklehead wanting to grow up and do my own thing without any one telling me something, damn im 67 and wish I could go back and slow down and not grow up so fast, been through a lot of loss and great times but I want more of that innocent time, please
A rare , and gorgeous music , so original and present that spoke to the times . I recall seeing many of these act perform live at the Apollo theater particularly Chairman of the board stuck out . What an amazing group of singer and song writers . Grossly underrated . They were one of the best acts .
In 1970, I was 13 years old, and I certainly remember this song being played on various forms of media. A great and popular song that is still a part of my memories.
Had the enormous privilege of seeing them at Myrtle Beach SC. Had a good chat with them, General Johnson is one of the most decent and modest performers I have ever met (RIP)
This is what the most beautiful song I've ever heard I remember that it's a child my mom had bought me a transistor radio when I was 7 years old that was my birthday present I'm turning 60 now and to listen to us with the airpod the white plastic airpod they gave you in those days. Brings back so many memories? It is too bad that there is not artists out there that bring us that warm feeling in music. Sad thing to say when I try to find this on these distraught jukeboxes.
What a beautiful feeling comes over me whenever I hear the sound of this song. Everything that is right and good about music is in this. Even the notes being played on the bass guitar has a melodic shimmer bouncing off the sounds of the other instruments. The background orchestration has a feeling of healing a heart. It's not a difficult piece of music. Magic was truly captured in it. Probably the finest Motown record that never actually came out on Motown Records
I realize I grew up in the timeframe of the BEST songwriting and vocalist groups in the nation. They honored love and connections. I love this memory too! #ThankYou!! 💕💕💕
My sentiments exactly.. how couldn't you feel that if you grew up with the honey of the music of the 60s and 70s dripping into your ear. BEFORE the canned music!
Holland- Doizer writing team soooo underrated...practically wrote the book on how to write creative songs using the four beat snare with a high-hat accent cymbal.
@@gregfoles5480 It was Holland Dozier Holland who wrote this- and all the other great Invictus hits. They used the names Dunbar and Wayne as aliases as they were still in dispute with Berry Gordy after leaving Motown.
It could be an appreciation for real music or you could be very empathetic, when someone sings with such powerful emotion you can put yourself in their shoes quite easily, and this is an emotional masterpiece.
@@alexswenson1653 I feel the pain others feel I always have and only if God were to cut that part of me out I always will feel what others feel. To me how can anyone not feel it the words of what there saying the emotion and heart in his voice it reaches in and grabs you to ignore that would mean your not human anymore your not alive anymore. When you've been in trenched in as much pain as I have been you cant miss it in others and while most turn and run in fear like a fire men I run into the burning building as hard as it is to do. I gravitate towards these kinds of songs they have a way of reaching in me and drawing out that pain. Thank you for that message I really appreciate what you said. Peace. :)
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrilliant, Used to pound the youth club floor to this as a teen in the 70's. Still makes me feel the same way now at 55, the years have passed but the sentiment is still the same. Give me just a little more time, Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Chairman of the board 1973 /Next-generation sounds just like Four Tops of Motown record artists and Update and amazing classic voice styles. And prayer and blessing day today keeping up with the respect yourself. Thank you Goodnight 2021.

We had it very good in 1970. At 12 years old one after another Soul singles. Endlessly. The normal for then, and this one is totally unforgettable.
I know, right? When you complain about no good music today, people say, "It's there, you just have to look for it."

Just love General Johnson's voice!!!!
Bruce Farris I really believe that there is no one who can imitate him or his style
Days of old, double gold, 🥇
Masterful extended version. These guys were excellent!
This song is the cure for a bad Mood!!
Bought the 45 when this song came out. I was just a kid, but I really dug this tune. 50 years later, still a strong tune. It's held up to the test of time!!!
😷😷😷These sounds are reminder when the United States was moving in the right direction, with all it's struggles, continue to move forward and the music reflected that. So grateful for what these great artist left behind.🙂🙂🙂
Knowledge
Yes! Throughout the 1970s, there was a glimmer of hope at the end of the dark tunnel leftover from the '50s and '60s. No other medium brought the races together as music and disco did in the '70s, something our nation so desperately needs in the darkness of the 2020s.
I think most of todays music reflects todays society, kind of ugly....
always right on ! listened in hospital, cancer treatment.
I hope your well and still here with us!
john f. capuziello and you’re recovered?
Get well soon
May the soul save you, buddy!
Me too
WOW takes me back when I was a pup, just a knucklehead wanting to grow up and do my own thing without any one telling me something, damn im 67 and wish I could go back and slow down and not grow up so fast, been through a lot of loss and great times but I want more of that innocent time, please
I grew up in the 80's but i know i have an old soul. I would love to be able to go back even just for a little time;)
Bought an 85 Pontiac Fiero a few weeks back. Turned it on, this was playing on a CD. I'm in my early 20s and I cruse around town playing this haha.
Dantae Plur Good music never goes out of style
@@vincentrobinson9645 And neither does the 85
Fiero!
Dantae Plur Good man!!
A gift from the past to help guide your future, my friend.
Get "It's A Shame" by the Spinners and thank me later.
The late great Norman "General" Johnson from my home state of Virginia-Norfolk..
I was born and raised in Portsmouth. Also had Bill Deal and the Rondells and Gary US Bonds from Tidewater area.
@@lcautry2006 Also the great Ruth Brown-Portsmouth...
I HAVE LIVED IN NORFOLK VIRGINIA ALL MY LIFE...
He had two monster hits separated by almost a decade. "It will stand" by the Showmen in '61 and this classic.
Always representing my hometown, Norfolk VA
Born and Raised
One of my FAVORITE Songs by the Chairman of the Board
Yes jmoney....I'm 71 just went back to my teens........wonderful memories!
I'm 70, and my whole playlist for years have consisted of 60's and 70's tunage. Have 100 of em. Adding more all the time!!
A rare , and gorgeous music , so original and present that spoke to the times . I recall seeing many of these act perform live at the Apollo theater particularly Chairman of the board stuck out . What an amazing group of singer and song writers . Grossly underrated . They were one of the best acts .
totally agree
When this song came out I had no worries & no real responsibilities. Even 2day this song takes ur worries away.
In 1970, I was 13 years old, and I certainly remember this song being played on various forms of media. A great and popular song that is still a part of my memories.
Me to..I wish we had a time machine.😄
I to was 13 yrs great songs
Takes me back to my teenage years, good times, this band had a unique style
A beautiful era!!
I was a child with every single 45 and a Record Player in the living room 😂 Lol memories are precious
Anyone listening so good xx
Radios.....were our lives, every day new songs, GREAT SONGS.....we are soooo blessed
Had the enormous privilege of seeing them at Myrtle Beach SC. Had a good chat with them, General Johnson is one of the most decent and modest performers I have ever met (RIP)
This is what the most beautiful song I've ever heard I remember that it's a child my mom had bought me a transistor radio when I was 7 years old that was my birthday present I'm turning 60 now and to listen to us with the airpod the white plastic airpod they gave you in those days. Brings back so many memories? It is too bad that there is not artists out there that bring us that warm feeling in music. Sad thing to say when I try to find this on these distraught jukeboxes.
Have not heard that song in decades. Remember that beat, that chorus, & that tongue roll, like it was yesterday! Great song!!!!
What a beautiful feeling comes over me whenever I hear the sound of this song. Everything that is right and good about music is in this. Even the notes being played on the bass guitar has a melodic shimmer bouncing off the sounds of the other instruments. The background orchestration has a feeling of healing a heart.
It's not a difficult piece of music. Magic was truly captured in it.
Probably the finest Motown record that never actually came out on Motown Records
I realize I grew up in the timeframe of the BEST songwriting and vocalist groups in the nation. They honored love and connections. I love this memory too! #ThankYou!! 💕💕💕
Truth Indeed AMEN
My sentiments exactly.. how couldn't you feel that if you grew up with the honey of the music of the 60s and 70s dripping into your ear. BEFORE the canned music!
Yes, we were lucky enough to have been there when this was playing on the radio.
Me too
The great General Johnson and guys were brilliant the first time I heard this way back. But even better now - KTF
General Johnson at his finest. Such great song and such a great and unique voice.
Holland- Doizer writing team soooo underrated...practically wrote the book on how to write creative songs using the four beat snare with a high-hat accent cymbal.
al black ...good point !! ...agreed.
WASN'T THEM ! SEE SHEET MUSIC ABOVE AT 2:14
@@lamper2 dunbar and wayne were part of the team though.
@@lamper2 They may not have written this but it's clear that they produced it. It could easily have been a Four Tops song if HDH has stayed at Motown.
@@gregfoles5480 It was Holland Dozier Holland who wrote this- and all the other great Invictus hits. They used the names Dunbar and Wayne as aliases as they were still in dispute with Berry Gordy after leaving Motown.
14 and still know we had the greatest music in history.
Beautiful memories!!!
Beautiful memories!!!
Oh and did I mention...
Beautiful memories and Beautiful song!
Saw Chairmen if the Board twice in 1970 when they came over to tour. Great memories. 🤓
Man this song makes me think bout my pops. RIP KENNY SR.
I was 14 in 1970 with all this great music, where have the years gone?
Me too
Still listening in 2020 rest on in spirit mr Norman General Johnson
Cant remember when I last heard this so beautiful.
"Rest in Peace" General Johnson, who was the lead singer of this group.....
Every time I discover that someone like this has passed, it makes me incredibly sad and feel old.
What a great song and it's jus perfffect !!!!
SIP General You are SORELY MISSED SIP
@@bobriedel3277 I get your drift, Bob. Deeply saddened...
While STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL,he wrote the Showmen's IT WILL STAND! later he wrote PATCHES the Clarence Carter hit
Is it just me or do you guys cry too when you hear these songs? Hurts to hear them there so beautiful it actually hurts.
It could be an appreciation for real music or you could be very empathetic, when someone sings with such powerful emotion you can put yourself in their shoes quite easily, and this is an emotional masterpiece.
@@alexswenson1653 I feel the pain others feel I always have and only if God were to cut that part of me out I always will feel what others feel. To me how can anyone not feel it the words of what there saying the emotion and heart in his voice it reaches in and grabs you to ignore that would mean your not human anymore your not alive anymore. When you've been in trenched in as much pain as I have been you cant miss it in others and while most turn and run in fear like a fire men I run into the burning building as hard as it is to do. I gravitate towards these kinds of songs they have a way of reaching in me and drawing out that pain. Thank you for that message I really appreciate what you said. Peace. :)
Yes, I cry. I think of my parents, Brothers Sister and Family members that has all of them has all past away
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrilliant, Used to pound the youth club floor to this as a teen in the 70's. Still makes me feel the same way now at 55, the years have passed but the sentiment is still the same. Give me just a little more time, Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
