I'm 41 years old and have never heard of this cat until today. I'm not sure how that's possible but it gives me the happies to find a new rabbit hole to go down.
William Daron Pulliam, pseudonyme Darondo ( 5 octobre 1946 à Berkeley -9 juin 2013 à Sacramento). Il chante dans la région de San Francisco durant les années 1960 et les années 1970 sous le nom de scène de Darondo; sa voix falsetto est à mi-chemin entre Ronald Isley (des Isley Brothers) et Al Green. Peu connu du public excepté par des fanatiques du genre, Darondo est tenu en haute estime par ceux-ci. Dont moi !!!
Oh my ... this song makes me think only of him ... while she smokes one cigarette and drinking from the cup ... Elijah ... haunted me for too many years ...
My hobby: spent time on youtube and discover songs like this, oh my god this is so good!
Right on!
if you like him, buy all of Al Green's albums.. ;)
me too
Dam where has this been all my life!🤗😝
My chihuahua turned into a Gremlin when i played this song.

A cat made a song named The Wolf that led you down a rabbit hole. You're not subtle with the animal metaphors, are ya dawg? lol
I'm 41 too.
you look so much older in your picture?
I'm with you I never heard of him but the funk is strong in him a bit of an Al Green vibe I'm digging it

How have I never heard of this guy before. What a brilliant recording.
I asked myself the same thing after I first heard Didn’t I on a Breaking Bad scene. Apparently I was living under a rock before then. 🖤🎼🖤 🎸
Some people need to stop comparing Darondo with other singers! He is his own person.
that bass line is A++! funky as hell!
I NEVER heard of Darondo before...
I'm BLOWN away - Wow -

This is just amazing. 'Then the weather changed'. That bit gets me everytime.

Life is beautiful. It's filled with art.
J aime passer mes journées sur RUclips, mon seul but est de découvrir des perles comme cette chanson et de m enivrée du parfum de la mélodie

Band reminds me of Al Green or Issac Hayes yet with a good rawness.
This song grew me a mustache.

This track has been sampled like hell, it's still a trip on it's own.
Sampled on Sheek Louch song.. 9th Wonder used it about a year ago.. Rza used it on a Wu-Tang song. And many more LOL

This song is funky as hell!!!
Esto suena muy bien...... Saludos desde Chile.
Played this to my neighborhood at night and somewhere something started howling.
It came from within my friend...
Wow. What's this?!
Brilliant sound. Never heard of the guy before.❤
Man this sounds amazing
A many pictures taken in front of that wall in the studio. Legendary.
Groovy beats...Darondo is a must
Listening to this in the grocery store. Trying so hard to not scoot down the aisles like a boss.
😂😂😂 security would have shut down all the lights except for the track lighting on your isle just to watch that dance solo
La grande classe internationale!!!
Makes me want to finish with everything. And just go
Awesome song, classic Darondo :)
Thank you for posting this. Soooo good!
Sure, a bit of Al Green, a bit of Syl Johnson, some familiar southern riffs and themes, but mostly, a whole lot of Darondo...
Remind8s me of Al Green
@@annayannay9444 You and everyone else here, apparently...
And some wolf
Syl Johnson and the reverend. Fair comparison. 👍👍
@@michaelhoolihan5849Well, I ain't called the Stepchild of Soul for my encyclopedic knowledge of Mexican Polka, haha...
i feel like this song is in the running for the sickest bassline
Ikr I'm going to learn to play it
damn!!! bay area talent!! RIP Darondo!
King Darondo, Nuff Respect !!
I can hear the Al Green influence. This guy is great, but never heard of him until today!
this is fantastic. dude has so much soul in his voice wow
Music from the Soul.👍🏾
Fucking hell ... you get a recommendation from RUclips and you click ... it gives you this gem .!!! Exceptional....

Groooovyyyyy

@@ezradickey505 actually i didn't.
Dance eddie!!! Get it babee!!!!
I'm all over this ! loving me some Darondo right now !
This is amazing. I'm gettin' chills like the tide is coming in.
Is that the Lauryn Hill Doo Wop guitar sample at 1:32-1:54?
Yeah. Good ear!
Wooow.Yes.wow. Didn't think it was jacked.
@@caribbeanplaylist7442 Not jacked, sampled.
Christ on a bike! You're right!
@@paracetamolgirl7820 Perhaps if credit was given.
then the weather change!!!!!!
Wow incredible R&B song, 10'!!!
I hear Al Green Love and Happiness in there
Big time.
No doubt. That bassline hits a lot on Neil Young's Heart of Gold. Darondo serving up some inspiration.
Eu nasci na época errada!!
This song makes me both excited and angry: Excited because it's so damn good, and angry that I had not heard it sooner!
Pure feeling,emotion,soul and dpiritual. Great.song,going yo my house listen your song brother. Valeu pela postagem
"think i wanna wolf awhile" whewwweeee can't duplicate Darondo baby lmao
Masterpiece.
The wolf and heart of gold were both released 1972,
I been lovin u lovin u....😍
Pero qué demonios? sabrosura de canción, perfecta para una escena en el desierto
They should teach this tune in schools.
Cool, I love this bass...
Can't believe I ordered the vinyl and this track is not included.
Lol proper song for the scene in "Snowfall" seeing Jerome smile. Got that John Lee Hooker vibe. "Bad like Jesse James".
Timeless.
killa track great raw groove
masterpiece
Pause.......
With that being said. This song jams 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶
esplendido
Darondo was sent down by God to cool it down down here.
Favourite tune
This song is so cold!
