Songs with great meanings. I wish more songs can be written like this. I accept the changes but I miss the old time dogs. Thank you swam dogg. God bless you RIP
I see people are saying that he was ahead of his time but the truth is that America is behind in time. This song will be relevant for a long time; timeless.
As a 64 yr white man I loved this song when it first came out. Sam Stone helped me discover Swamp Dogg and I bought 4 of his albums, great music 50 years ago and still is. His music helped shape my life and for that I will be forever grateful. God Bless him!
My dad played all these songs when we lived in the island. He is passed on now and everytime I hear these songs I remember all the nights he would put these records on and sing them while laying in his hammock
I played these sessions as a Trumpeter. Jerry Williams Jr. was a man with a message. Even calloused studio musicians and personnel listened to his lyrics. I was NOT surprised when he entered the ministry!!
I read where this album sold thousands of copies within the few days it was out and it was off the shelf by the next week.he had some very subtle, provoking and witty Lyrics. Mammy's baby daddy's maybe.
Swamp Dogg's been on the scene 50+ years, and I'm first hearing him tonight. With more airplay, he could've change so many hearts and minds. We'd be in a far better place now.
I am sure no matter what era this man sang this song he would have been scrutinized and folks would not have appreciated it even today's youth hear it when grown folks play it and they don't check the technique in it and the older folks who was around for it didn't change either it takes a special breed only to fathom the time to listen and relate
It is indeed strange that many people are now hearing about Swamp Dogg after some fifty years when these songs were first recorded. I think that because of some of the lyrics his music might have been suppressed by the authorities..
SlimHolliday I think the beauty of this song is that it will always be relevant in some way, there's a lot of really great and really shitty thing about America and even as we fix things others will go wrong, but it's okay cause slowly but surely we're getting better
I grew up hearing these Songs in Trinidad which i will Forever Love on vinyl Lps
Trinidad 🇹🇹
Did you also go to the Trinidad Woodstock where he performed, yep! I was 10 feet away from him his voice really is that clear and clean...
I am here in 2023and still listening and enjoying this wonderful song from back in the day truth and hones🎶🎶🎶🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤💯💯💯👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥🕊🕊🕊🎇🎇🎇🎊🎊🎊✨✨✨
God Bless Swamp Dogg and his insightful lyrics. Been a fan since 1971.
How come this man with this great and unique voice is not widely known and highly recognized? HOW?
He mostly wrote songs for other people.

This man is timeless.
A blast from the past. This man was way ahead of time.

Wow, Que recuerdos: Time flies. I recall my brothers singing this loud out. Dancing with daylight 'light'. We enjoyed these 70 years American music.
Legendary!

And On and On and On and On🤔
What a classic
This is actually great.
God Bless Swamp Dogg
Swamp Dogg had three great albums.1.Rat On .2 Total Destruction to your mind. 3.Cuffed Collared and Tagged. Get them if you can,you won't regret it..
I wish all those Trumpets would listen to these lyrics. Make America "Great Again"
Funny how the lyrics are so relevant to today's time. Love it tho, awesome song!
❤ We need Help ASAP....
Truth
THE TRUTH!
Wow.
benja,in fisher thank you for the lyrics for a long time i was searching for those lyrics
This should replace the national anthem in America now
I have listened to these words back in 1973. Today in 2020 what has changed ?
beefysmith only the generations.
Word.
Man i heard this on some ending credits of a movie that cant remember
11/6/24 - still listening
, ZZZ play The Warrior by Snoop Dogg swamp Dogg
thanks
This should play as buildings burn in the background.
Why he never made it mainstream as other soul singers?
He never wanted to hand over 51% to any recording company. Every album it's with someone new, problem , they were all the same...gready!
This song should be played at George home going service , I can't breathe
Right on.
#swampdoggforpresident #swampdogg2016
This song is so true for these days of trump.
true since it came out.
AMERICA LIKE HIM FOR THIS SONG BUT DISLIKE HIM WENT HIM SING SAM STONE.
I was going to "like" but 3 symbols of eternity (888) was too good of symbolism as to how I feel about this song😢
Apparently he got a law suit from the Irving Berlin foundation...
Guilty of borrowing?
Ahead of his time
Gone too soon the an with the steel horn voice
He could not of recorded this song in America he had to go to Cuba to do it .
I think Dogg recorded this song & album in Muscle Shoals.
Funny how the lyrics are so relevant to today's time. Love it tho, awesome song!

Amen
