Man listen….if you didn’t grow up listening to this you missed out. This the type of music where you felt every word, nuance and heartbreak. THIS is grown folk music!
@@firesaggybest times indeed, best music, great memories!! I grew up in Germany , I knew many GI’s we used to listen to this great music, I do remember this song. I truly miss those days!! I remember the greeting we used to call “dab”.😃
I'm really loving these old pictures.....I turn 51 in a couple of weeks, the 1970's were my childhood, the best time to be here....black people listened to soul music....
NATILE COLE OUR LOVE, O.Jays you got your hooks in me but the greatest love song EVER is )ADORE by PRINCE. yes there's great love song's like MANNHATENS
The 70s was the best for me. Met my first love in 1978, I was 19. And married that same year. He died in 2020 in his sleep after 42 years of marriage, 2 kids, and 4 grandkids. RIP my ❤.💔
(Leaving me) I'm sick, baby (Can't be)....Yup I felt that.......So many great memories of my childhood. Thank you mom and dad for playing this kind of music around the house. This was my mom’s Saturday morning cleaning music ❤️
I heard this song when I was a little kid. My mom always played it. When I close my eyes I can see my Aunts and my mom playing Bid Whist with the neighbors till the wee hours. The 70's was a great time.
There was NO other era of music that was better than the 70's!! Not just talking about soul, r&b, I'm talking soft rock, rock and pop also. When I grew up we had AM stations, so I'm additional to Motown, Stax, and Philly, I listened to The Doobie Brothers, The Eagles, Chicago, Rolling Stones and more. Glad I did.
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ERA LIKE THIS!!!! I'M 51 & I WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL 2 MY PARENTS 4 PLAYING THESE SONGS & BRINGING ME UP N THAT TIME WITH A WHOLE LOT OF SOUL ! I WILL NEVER 4GET THEM
Yes indeed. Nothing like it. 1972 for me. It was my sister who taught me how to listen to what the lyrics hold. God bless her soul. 🙏🏻 But I have not ever forgotten the love in the music. I always remember it was because of her that I love this type of music. This music is exactly that;soul. Their hearts were speaking and its a language we all understood. Blessings to your parents and may you have a very blessed and peaceful holidays🙏🏻
What happened to that beautiful special time period called the 70s. I remember seeing Mamas and Daddies with their kids. And Grandpa and Grandma hugging and kissing on their grandkids. Now kids say what's a Mommy and a daddy. How my grandma and Grandpa look. See far away. Nothing is the same.
I agree with Peggy. The 70s music was extraordinary. Yes we had racism pretty bad but we kept the faith and had good times in the midst of it. God is merciful.
This song takes back to a time when my sister got married and had her own apartment. She would pick me up to spend the weekend with her and we would play records and she would do my hair. How I miss those sweet times!
So real. That's the true rich life. Kicking it without knowing how wonderful those types of moments are amazing and setting the standards of a good life.
That's such a nice relationship you have/had with your sister. I need to get back in contact with mine...we used to sing before sleep every night. I don't know how we lost contact. But you inspired me to reach out to her.
This song makes me think of the small alley streets I grew up on in Baltimore in the 70's, and when it came out, you could hear it blaring from every house. I miss those days, I miss the neighborhood bands and wanting to grow up and join one.
70s were the days when black folks JAMMED to the GREATEST GROOVES. This song was played over the radio stations everywhere.....Still sounds BRAND NEW in 2024💯 👍🏾👍🏾
And plus it wasn’t nobody killing singers artist like they doing now it s lot of talent gone from 1996- 2023 in the ground over some bullshzt o Hate it
Back in the day, REAL men weren't embarrassed to express their love (openly) to REAL women. Artists from the past sang about love. I don't know what today's artists are singing about!
I love this song... reminds of me of the days where my neighbors were like family... my door was not locked until it was time for bed...and family members were alive, drinking johnny walker red, playing cards and taping off of the reel reel... and i live for these comments...a lot of these videos have the comments turned off...that sucks ... i am loving what yall saying.
I love talking about these times and our music back then with my 15 yr old son. He says he’s sad that he can’t go back in time to hang with me and his GM.🥰🥰🥰
Man on man, what great time. I used to sit at my uncle door while he and his girlfriend and friend were over playing music like this. The impression or pretenders. Wow, Mr. Thomas produces this group. One day, she had a talk with his wife and so many stories she had to tell. Bad song
Hmmm. Wars in Asia, unemployment, a divisive current President, a madman as a President-elect, strange fashions - no difference, really :) Except, somehow, the late 60's/early 70's saw a real belief that the future was going to be a lot better, and that we (the younger generation at that time) were going to be the catalyst for that change - we were (collectively) going to change the world, & for the better. I suppose some things are better - your car is safer, you can speak to someone on the opposite side of the world in real time easily whilst sitting in a train or your bath, and maybe we are a bit more clued up about saving whales, so maybe we didn't completely fail. And, we can now listen, free and at any time, to wonderful, tuneful, soulful & meaningful songs like this. Which I definitely couldn't do in the 70's, unless I had gone out & nicked (stolen) the LP (a large, round, plastic thing which broke if you dropped it & needed a fairly large box which you couldn't carry round with you) from my local record store.......... Peace, love & understanding, sister.
buggertheusername I was reminiscing purely from a musical perspective. I was there and very much aware of the problems we faced, but the music was fabulous.
I totally agree. The music from then was, and still is, wonderful. Whether our children, or children's children, understand or care - well, that's their tough luck. And we have the added benefit of being able to listen to it, free, at any time, from virtually anywhere in the world, even at the same time as I am struggling to complete my "Pension Claim Online", & getting confused & bored. Who designed this rubbish? I have a University education, I have been using computers for 40 years, but I'm buggered if I can understand the logic that went behind the questions. A+B = 2 and a half, except on Wednesdays. AND I can tell you that, as well, in real time - I don't have to send you an air-mail letter to do it! Just finished Issac Hayes & "By the Time I get to Phoenix" - the long version, all 19 minutes worth. Wow, wow, wow. I need a nap to recover. Worth checking out, if you're not familiar with it.
This is that song the "Hole in the wall" plays that will have the whole club swaying. Everybody can feel this. The Independents are one of my favorite groups.
When I was a kid my Mom's would clean the house and when this song came on the radio she would turn up the volume and snap her fingers and groove to the music and she was so happy. That 70s era is so memorable great memories 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤
I think the last generation of the late 70 babies and 80 babies are the only ones know about this kind of music yes I am here in 2020& the future it never gets old
Likewise!!! I'm 54 and I would rather listen to the music of the 70's & 80's ANY ay than the music of today. I can close my eyes and still hear this playing in our house. I thank my mom and aunt for introducing me to real music growing up.😍
Agreed my brother. One of my all time favorites. I love this song so much that I bought 1 of those Sweet Soul of the 70's because on the bonus CD this was on there along with Marvin + Dianas My Mistake
Jesse Jackson's brother was the lead singer on this song and i was 7 years when this came out and my parents played it all the time.The 70s was a great time to be a kid Saturday morning cartoons Soul Train in the afternoon stack shoes blowout kits big afros 😀😀😀💖💖💖
my brother ken and I used to love this song, well, he's passed on, and I still love to take a step back now and then; at 77 life has been a wonderful mystery; it's never complete. God Bless and keep looking forward
Pulled into the driveway when this came on. Very few songs will stop me from getting out of the ride when I get home. This one is one of them. On my list as one of the coolest songs ever.
Thanks I love music music make me forget about some of the crazy stuff that's happening out here in the world . When you feel everything is wrong just find you a good song to listen to it the words not the music the word
I was a kid when this composition hit the air waves in the 1970's. was seeing two of the most beautiful teenager sisters in New York City at the same time. I got busted one Summers night. This song played on the radio all Summers long.
I miss those days when our music expressed love and dealt with real everyday life tribulations. This kind of music kept you centered. Although, I feel at times, if we’ll ever get back to our uniqueness. I fear that the internet along with social media, may have destroyed that for good.
Yes they were. they were the best years of my life growing up as a teenager in the 70's because I was born in 54 in a little place called Tensaw Alabama. And we moved to a place called Atmore Alabama in the mid 60's and when I hear the music from that time in my life it brings back a lot of memories some good some bad but the good will always out weight the bad thank you Lord🙏🏽. But the best years of my life was after I had my children's and I wouldn't trade them for anything in this world God blessed me with 3 daughter and 1son Kendra, Mary, Kissa, and Lapatrick. 8grands and 4g-grand and I thank God for all of them they're my greatest blessings thank you Jesus!! for never leaving me and my children's and never forsaking us and after all that we have been through in our lives Father God we are still standing TALL!! Hallelujah!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽
This was a great song that reminds me of my childhood when Black folks were Black folks, I don't know what we have become. But, this is one of the realest for the real only.
The problem is that many of our people took on WHITE culturalisms and will only interact with other black people it they have a similar social class. Shame. Many have forgotten what the word "character" is.
We didn't have much but we had love for one another and we had each other I miss those days all your guy had to do is play this hit and you forgot wtf he did lolbvs
The key word was love and creative. We created things. Like a afro haircut for the very first time or a custom made pink Cadilac. Back then, a car wasn't transportation; it was a ride and a living room for your first date. The music was the best that it could ever be and we had all the time in the world to love.....yes, especially love ourselfs. Thank you for taking me back.
Back in the day when brothers held up a black fist it was not just for Black Power, but black unity u have my blood.ln the 60's you can actually say "what's up blood "to a Blackman and not get shot .All the hard work it took to ride in the front of bus, first place they run to sit is the back of the bus...Why?
Yep now you can talk to women any old way + the women cool with it. Throwing the b word like its her name. Around 1974 I was in 6th grade bout to start HS. Called a girl Ruth Colon the b word. End of the day her older brother Fernando was waiting. Wasn't as bad as that scene from the Wood when Big Mike got that ass beat but I didn't call ole girl ever again
Memories of my parents💞💞💞Food smelling good, parents flirting with each other and kids having fun. We'll never see days like that again. This world now....smh
My mom said back in those days the 70's Soul Music was he Jam, and it means something when you hears songs like this. and the way they dress, back in those days was the bomb, my mom was an kid had no worries n the world, just be free.
I c alot of comments about back in the dazes. I also lived them two eras 60's-70's. This was when the neighborhoods look out for each other's kid(s) the late 80's early 90's some of us had kid(s). It seems like some of us didn't take time to teach their kids what they were taught! Manners n respect. 🤔✨👍✨🙏
i was a teen when this came out.it was the jam.wow ,really miss those care free yrs.the music was so good.thanks for taking me back to some good times.
I remember growing up in the late 60's early 70,'s and we didn't always lock our doors. Summer Nights at my Aunties house in the country, we left the front screen door open at night!!!!
Leaving me? Remember this song growing up in Chicago Illinois.... remember coming I 55 South to Mississippi.. MAMA GOT ON DOWN..LOL STILL LOVE THIS SONG
Man listen….if you didn’t grow up listening to this you missed out. This the type of music where you felt every word, nuance and heartbreak. THIS is grown folk music!
Afros, hair grease, picks, stacks, checkered pants, 8 track tapes, love , peace and soulllllllllll.
Right On! ✊🏾 These were the best times!

There are days I wish it was still the decade of the 70s.
Hmmm. Wars in Asia, unemployment, a divisive current President, a madman as a President-elect, strange fashions - no difference, really :)

I miss those days when our music expressed love and dealt with real everyday life tribulations. This kind of music kept you centered. Although, I feel at times, if we’ll ever get back to our uniqueness. I fear that the internet along with social media, may have destroyed that for good.
Love this music even more today 1/23/2021. I grew up on this and now soon to be 60 it can never get old.
The Ebonys forever LOL

Wow I grew up on this music so beautiful and underrated they was the truth
I a 60 baby myself we was young our parents played this music ❤
blue lights in the basement and rent parties with the best fried chicken, BBQ sandwiches and Cole slaw, , the 70s was heart thumping good
Yes they were. they were the best years of my life growing up as a teenager in the 70's because I was born in 54 in a little place called Tensaw Alabama. And we moved to a place called Atmore Alabama in the mid 60's and when I hear the music from that time in my life it brings back a lot of memories some good some bad but the good will always out weight the bad thank you Lord🙏🏽. But the best years of my life was after I had my children's and I wouldn't trade them for anything in this world God blessed me with 3 daughter and 1son Kendra, Mary, Kissa, and Lapatrick. 8grands and 4g-grand and I thank God for all of them they're my greatest blessings thank you Jesus!! for never leaving me and my children's and never forsaking us and after all that we have been through in our lives Father God we are still standing TALL!! Hallelujah!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽
THIS USE TO BE MY FAVORITE SONG IN MY EARLY TEENS AND IT
SOUNDS GREAT AS THE DAY IT WAS
RELEASED.
It's still should be
A lot of people don't know about this song it's beautiful and they gets no Respect as a good group
Has it ever been replaced????
don't leave me here with the neighbors, "YOU KNOW HOW THEY TALK" (smile)
This was a great song that reminds me of my childhood when Black folks were Black folks, I don't know what we have become. But, this is one of the realest for the real only.
this was the music then.people was real.goodtimes .barbecue.wish it was back.
Facts 4Sure They Laid this Shit Down in Beast Mode.Black is Beautiful.I 💘 Being Black facts.
The problem is that many of our people took on WHITE culturalisms and will only interact with other black people it they have a similar social class. Shame. Many have forgotten what the word "character" is.
We didn't have much but we had love for one another and we had each other I miss those days all your guy had to do is play this hit and you forgot wtf he did lolbvs
True
a beautiful era of music that can't be repeated
The key word was love and creative. We created things. Like a afro haircut for the very first time or a custom made pink Cadilac. Back then, a car wasn't transportation; it was a ride and a living room for your first date. The music was the best that it could ever be and we had all the time in the world to love.....yes, especially love ourselfs. Thank you for taking me back.
U can feel the love coming through this song
Black People We Are So Beautiful and Very Talented.

+Bettye Torkpo so so true
Bettye Torkpo l.p.
Back in the day when brothers held up a black fist it was not just for Black Power, but black unity u have my blood.ln the 60's you can actually say "what's up blood "to a Blackman and not get shot .All the hard work it took to ride in the front of bus, first place they run to sit is the back of the bus...Why?
Bettye Torkpo That's no lie
Hey I'm A 60 Baby And I Love This Song 😊😊😊
The time when brothers and sisters stood together and treat each with respect
One of the absolute best singing groups.
Back when man treat women like the queen that they are.
Yes they did
I love this song
Yep now you can talk to women any old way + the women cool with it. Throwing the b word like its her name. Around 1974 I was in 6th grade bout to start HS. Called a girl Ruth Colon the b word. End of the day her older brother Fernando was waiting. Wasn't as bad as that scene from the Wood when Big Mike got that ass beat but I didn't call ole girl ever again

what again...nothing to say...what a song.....................
I c alot of comments about back in the dazes. I also lived them two eras 60's-70's. This was when the neighborhoods look out for each other's kid(s) the late 80's early 90's some of us had kid(s). It seems like some of us didn't take time to teach their kids what they were taught! Manners n respect. 🤔✨👍✨🙏
My cousin past away around this time last year and she loved this song , At her funeral I said leaving me can't be , she was a ball of fun.
These songs had so much feeling and passion in them
