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 !!!
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.

i got the happies tooo! new funky gift for the holidaze!
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.
This is just amazing. 'Then the weather changed'. That bit gets me everytime.

@@andregarcia5612 almost so much, that one is lead to believe Young may have been a Darondo fan before me...
This is also Love and Happiness by Al Green. He sound like Al.

Stefano Mango - Funky Beats
This is where i heard the samples.. soo good smoooooth
2021 and I'm back this is GOLD
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
He sound like Al Green's funky little brother.
lol
Overtones of 'Love and happiness'
Al GREE sound like him.🔥
My man on the drums is holding it down like a maaf
Lol straight like that!!!
tight as a ducks arse 😂😑
Yeah the shits tight as a mafucka ya na I'm saying
Awesome song, classic Darondo :)
Wu-Tang: An American Saga brought me here and i´m happy i found this pure gold soul track
Snowfall brought me. Here...I'm glad it did I really like this song...your comment is taking me to Wu Tang American saga...ty
I never heard of Darondo before I watched a show called Sneaky Pete. Qualified from this album is awesome.
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 is some serious funk right here!!
This song is everything right now
Just amazing .. beauty song
Pause.......
With that being said. This song jams 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎵 🎶
Man this sounds amazing
This song is funky as hell!!!
A many pictures taken in front of that wall in the studio. Legendary.
great track, wonderful groovie voice and fantastic discover on u-tube
Thank you for posting this. Soooo good!
They should teach this tune in schools.
I was about to quit the internet but then i came across this...
Makes me want to finish with everything. And just go
i feel like this song is in the running for the sickest bassline
Ikr I'm going to learn to play it
"think i wanna wolf awhile" whewwweeee can't duplicate Darondo baby lmao
Groovy beats...Darondo is a must
This song makes me both excited and angry: Excited because it's so damn good, and angry that I had not heard it sooner!
I can hear the Al Green influence. This guy is great, but never heard of him until today!
i'm tryin' not to get kicked out of this library from dancin' all over the place.
Hahahahahaha 💣🎧❤🔊
Groooovyyyyy
You got booted!
@@ezradickey505 actually i didn't.
Dance eddie!!! Get it babee!!!!
So glad i did! Listen to Your Song!
Band reminds me of Al Green or Issac Hayes yet with a good rawness.
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...
Esto suena muy bien...... Saludos desde Chile.
Wow incredible R&B song, 10'!!!
Darondo was sent down by God to cool it down down here.
Lol proper song for the scene in "Snowfall" seeing Jerome smile. Got that John Lee Hooker vibe. "Bad like Jesse James".
King Darondo, Nuff Respect !!
the cat next door was giving labor as this was playing and every single kitten came out the womb w a mustache and howled
Music from the Soul.👍🏾
damn!!! bay area talent!! RIP Darondo!
I'm all over this ! loving me some Darondo right now !
This is amazing. I'm gettin' chills like the tide is coming in.
then the weather change!!!!!!
I been lovin u lovin u....😍
esplendido
masterpiece
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.
Fucking hell ... you get a recommendation from RUclips and you click ... it gives you this gem .!!! Exceptional....
Outstanding Wonderful to find this nuggeT
Can anyone connect me with the lyrics to this song! Thank you all and god bless
Masterpiece.
Eu nasci na época errada!!
La grande classe internationale!!!
Can't believe I ordered the vinyl and this track is not included.
Cool, I love this bass...
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.
❤ Big God 🙏 bless you to all the older people in the world cause we all know that if they like you they love you❤❤🎉 3:19

The lead singer from Fine Young Cannibals sounds like this guy. They got that Al Green flavor.
Sounds like CeeLo green at the first line.
