In 1970 I was a freshman and loved this song. Can you believe Gene Chandler is still with us? Good music never dies.
I was about 10 years old and it was one of my very favorite songs.
I was a senior in high school in 1970. alway's loved this song. can you believe 54 years ago? surprised I can still remember.
This song makes me cry I think of life was so simple then yet it puts a smile on my face remembering dancing in the mirror not a care in the world😎
I feel the same way, times have drastically changed. Wow
Life wasn't simple at all. black people were being lynched and blatantly discriminated against with no redress.
No, life was tough. I admire these artists who braved it all and produced music like this.
Thought I was the only one who practiced in the MIRROR... LOL ... What do you expect from a GUY... We invented EVERYTHING... Everything but that whack upside the head the Ghost of my Best Lady just gave me.
Love this tune. One needs headphones to truly appreciate the BASS... That AXEMAN was REALLY walking it... Straight UP (and DOWN) SUNSET BOULEVARD...
Love this music, I was fresh out of high school and had to start working to save money for university. Great memories
@@lewistonsmith6179 Not on the East Coast or West Coast.... Blacks and Whites got along in my neigborhood. You are referring to the South with the KKK on lynching Blacks. Not that it's ok what the ass backwards people down south felt about negroes or so they were called in those days. But it wasn't like that in most of America.
The music of the early 70s gives me a sense of calm & an awesome feeling when life seemed so pure uncomplicated and simple. Food tasted better and kids played outside...no keeping up with cell phones or having to pay to watch TV! 😥😊
I dug it in 1970 and I am still digging it today.
Right on Michael, you got great taste, right on. Peace out my friend.
Just now finding this song after finding out my late uncle wrote it 🥺
I was born on the island of Trinidad and Tobago and this song was a big hit. I listen and sing this song to my beautiful wife all the time.
1970 I was loved by a girl name Makeba. We had a love affair that was combustible yet it was tender. We broke up in 1973 and she passed away in 2016. This song reminds me of our time together. RIP my first love.
Awww!! Memories😄
now this is real music. sing it Gene you the Man.
I was 12 in 1970! I fell in love with this song all those years ago and have never fallen out. Love this song! ❤️
Same here!!
Me too 😊
This song will always remain etched in my mind i was ten in 1970 when my grandmother died and going to her funeral i remember passing by a house and this song was playing, fell in love with it
I was half your age in 1970. Lol. But I remember this song well. For those born I would say between 1963 - 1967 How many of yall had the "See and Say" phonograph. I used to take my mom and dad's 45's and play them on that record player Back then, I used to sneak and play this, It's a Shame by the Spinners, Westbound #9, 5-10-15-20 by the Presidents, Still Water by the Four Tops, Ooh Child by the Five Stairsteps. Those records were all out at the same time.
This song reminds me of when I arrived in Vietnam on 6/1/1970. I had no idea what hell was in store for me. But, I made it, and on 4/27/1971, I returned to the world, in one piece, mind and body. Dedicated to my 11B buddies of D Co., 1/12th, 1st Cav. 8/22/2016.
Thank you for your service.
Glad you made it back, thank you for your service.
thank you.....
thank you
1cav11B, thank you for your service!!
While driving today this song came on the radio and put me in the greatest mood. I am still smiling. Love it.
What's a radio?
First time I heard this I was out at the drive in. In a down mood. They played this song and my bad mood was over.
Reminds me of School Days.. Real fun times. Love it.
one of my favorite songs in my life. I was 10 years old and the song was playing at the roller rink where I was skating with my brothers and sister. Back in 1970. And my Dad came to pick us up, it was wintertime. And Anne Murray's "Snowbird" was playing on the radio. And Neil Diamond's "Cracklin' Rosie". We felt so secure driving home from the roller rink with our Dad.
Talk about a cross section of Time. Groovy Situation and the songs you mentioned were on the radio during August, September, and October of 1970. I was 14 back then and it was easy to place total reliance in the security grownups provided.
I was 8 back then and my brothers and I used to go to the roller rink every weekend also
"SINER❤BLISS"...GROOVEY TUNES STILL GET'S THE ATMOSPHERE GOING...2024
I just love this song so much!!! This is my all time favorite song by Gene Chandler and that baseline is out of this world!!!I must have listened to it about 20 times in a row when I was driving once. I really love when he sings “Good evening sweet darling. May I ask your name? “ Sooo sweet!! A time when men were so pleasant and charming.❤
What happened to that time?.
Lol.
my max was about 6 times, you cant win by michael jackson maybe hit 20 times
Love this song. Those days of good R&B can’t be beat!
A great great song from my teen years.
I love when he says, "Can you dig it, can you dig it, can you dig it, can you dig it?"
I can dig it, I can dig it, I can dig it, I can dig it.
Great song high school days!
Memories. Good ole days. ❤
Haven't heard this song in years and I just happened to be going to RUclips came across it can I thought about Gene Chandler in the Duke of Earl but instead I found groovy situation which takes me way back to the 70s best time to be alive how many good memories and when you get to be older usually that's all you have are good memories when you grew up life was so easy on all the problems that were having today and kids nowadays they just don't know is so fast paced you need to slow down take a deep breath Evel live live life the way it should be lived everyone please stay safe and God bless
B.Goodrich, I understand where you are coming from. Couldn't remember the name of the song, only the " that girl " part. Typed it in and this great classic begin to play. It all came back after that. Stay safe out there.
I'm 19 and this song BLESSES me when I'm in college
RIGHT ON , THIS SONG WAS FLOATING IN MY HEAD SO I WENT TO U TUBE & WA LAAA
Music was so much better in those times.
These songs are so much better then today's songs.. they had heart
Most Definitely 😊⚘
@@carolynfox9097 indeed ❤️
September 1970...walked into the Freshman dance at college as this was playing ...and I met the most scrumptious blonde/green eyed guy...he asked me to dance...and that was the start of something beautiful.
This was my Mother's favorite song from Gene Chandler back in the Summer 🥇 Soul of 1970. RIP Mrs Martha Jane Bealer.
I am a 55 year old Southern guy-----I can remember watching T.V. with my Dad as the POWs came off the planes. You have my utmost respect and gratitude. Thank you.
I was twelve years old when I first heard this song-loved it then and still love it today!

So grateful my parents raised me on these songs. Let's keep this music alive.

From a younger Air Force Veteran
Brings back some REALLY good memories from the summer of 1970..................
I walked to/ back from School with a Transistor Radio listening to the 60s songs …67 yrs still listening 60s songs😉
I was 13 when this song played on the radio and i dug it! Now it's Oct 12, 2017 (I'm 60) and still digging this song and '' Duke Of Earl! Enjoy everyone!
I absolutely love this song!
THIS IS MY FAVORITE GENE CHANDLER SONG.
Gene Chandler made a fine transition here into the new 1970's decade after the 1950's sounding Duke of Earl in 1962.
Reminds me of the love of my life. Never can forget him.
Another sensation from The mighty GENE CHANDLER fan club ♣ he's got a whole lot of soul loved his music 🎶 for near on 40 years KTF everyone ! ! !
This song is the one you never forget. I remember played this in a rockola in a bar that at the time was full of women of the happy life......i was 18 years old (1970) and those were the days you enyoyed your life every second.
Magnificent bass line. I loved this when I first heard it in 1970 and still love it now. :)
Richard Evans on the bass.
I love it too!!
Wow ,reminds me of my beautiful girl friends I had back then. I told them each that this song was for her especially. Well I was young and dumb, what can I say!
I play drums but this song always made me wanna pick up the bass!
I think I was 11 when this came out. But I mostly remember this from a beach music bar in Wilmington NC when I was 18. I just love, that for NO reason, this song completely randomly popped into my head yesterday. And I love the word groovy. And here we are!
I like Gene Chandler songs,
This song takes me back to listening to a transistor radio when I was a teen, innocent times back then
A total blast from the past. WOW
One of the coolest bass tracks ever recorded.
You sir are a genius! As I only heard this on a tinny radio back in the day 1970, I’m listening with a better speaker today and I’m grooving on that bubbly exuberant bass all I can say is WOW! That bass player is having fun and so are we.
This and the second half of Aquarius by the Fifth Dimension.
So true. Also now digging the bass track to Tin Man by America
@@redheadedwomenlover Joe Osborn!
@@richied9305 Also Joe Osborn!
This one is a sneaky little GEM .... would pay big bucks to see Gene perform it ..... !
I turned fifteen that summer and it was the best year of my life. Turning 62 this summer.
i turned 17, it was also the best year for me. will always remember 1970.
Are you sure your math is right? I turned 15 that summer, and this summer I'll be 66.
@@reedbaum7529 it came out in 1970
@@reedbaum7529 : Her comment was from 3 years ago!
@@jaywalker9985 haha
I was only 9 years old when this song became a hit. Not sure why it popped into my mind. It's probably because I miss the days my parents were around & life was so fun & full of adventures.
Great days which one hoped would never end. We were so lucky.
Who’s listening to music by Gene Chandler in 2019 ? I am ,groovy situation 1 bad ass rolla they don’t. Make music that make any sense like than
always listen to old school music, never the crap of today.

Biden elected President still listening.
I do..In my country oldies are being played every Sunday evening and the DJ never miss Gene's "Duke of Earl"..
Totally love this song! I was only 6 years old when it came out! My best friend/next door neighbor had an older sister that loved Motown. That's where I fell in love with this music! Thank you, Diana!
Memories of this song in 2020. Brings me back to better times.
2021💜
From the Duke of Earl to this great classic, Gene can get down with the best!
One on Genes best songs,l Fantastic bass, 😀😆😚😓✌🖒👏
I can dig it all the way from Englewood, on the South Side of Chicago!
Trust Me, I'm Black! Groovy.💋
@Rusty That's was a good one,.Musty ..foh !!
Lived in Chatham, back in the day.
Digging it in Denver !
I was just beginning 10th grade in 1970 and this song takes me back to those high school days.
I still dig this song after all these years. Still a Groovy Situation in 2016.
Sweet! That's all I can say. THIS is real music!
Funny thing is, this song was popular early in my Senior Year in high school and I thought nothing of it. Now this song is like nostalgia on steroids! What a time to be a Senior in high school for music 1970-1971.
Love the bass 💓
Groovy man! My dad like this as much as us kids
My mom introduced Gene Chandler and this song 🎶, 🎶🎶
Still remember the lyrics and her love of music and dancing
My mother did the same. I got my love of music from her❤
Real music right here! I was a little girl when this song was out but I remember My parents playing This 1 !! Simply the best 👏
Yep stands test of time
Took me way back to 1970 ladies and gentlemen mr. Gene Chandler the Duke of Earl himself
I remember I had this 45 I think I was 13 years old went downtown to Freitas here's where they used to sell the $45 and some albums I'm 62 now so you could tell and the same was back then can you dig it and grooving that's why Friends of Distinction when they make grazing in the grass she can dig it we can dig it they could dig it over and let's dig it and working on a groovy thing now the Saints are so different from our sayings from way back in the day it's a trip I love my music always got something to say about every song sorry but that's just the way I am when you have these 45 you can remember where you were at at the time and the albums to I know I can I don't think I'll ever have dementia God bless everybody
pure class.
I turned nine years old that year. Growing up on the westside of Indianapolis Indiana.
Soooo good just discovered this at 34 and that's tha thing 😀
The music of 1970 was definite proof of new day. "Groovy Situation" & "It's a Shame" had the same exact ingredients that made them great. Especially the horns & bass....Soooo good.
Bentom86 I was thinking the same thing. U know the Spinners had struggled to even chart till Stevie Wonder wrote “It’s A Shame” for them in 1970, which was a big hit!!
@@vincentrobinson9645 It was also at that time when Berry Gordy was butting heads with Stevie and Marvin Gaye. They both had come into their prime as artists who were now doing it all with writing and producing for themselves and for others. For Gordy that seemed to be more about rebellion than progress, and he wanted no part of allowing Marvin to create "What's Going On" (recorded in '70-'71) with its subject matter of war, drugs, poverty, & religion. Of course, the album turned out to be an epic masterpiece and he was quick to embrace those results.
But 1970 was a monumental time to say the least. And along with "It's a Shame" and "Groovy Situation", I failed to mention Stevie's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered", Diana's version of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", "Love or Let Me Be Lonely" by The Friends of Distinction, and "Ooh Child" from the Spiral Staircase...so many brilliant ones all from that year with excellent horns, bass, rhythm, and voices!
@@vincentrobinson9645 .Didn't know that. Stevie was everywhere. Spinners must have gone Wow! Demo.
Its a shame , the way you mess around with the man
Opened the sound of so many, Blue Magic, Chi-Lites, Four Tops and soooo many others! Love em all!
This bass line is FRICKIN SICK!!!
I remember i was In my aunt Vera basement with my cousins playing this joint over and over till I can memorize the words so I could sing it at School.
I was 12 when this came on our good ole R&B station was called 92 Star Five (92.5) back in those days here in San Diego. Actually I just heard it watching Anchorman movie on Prime Video. Had to look it up.
First Song I heard back in May 1970, that I like so much as a 16 year Teenager! Now 64 years old and still listening in 2020!
Memories are made of this especially if you're flashing back to 1970
Here in Philly,I was 9 years old and remember the Guy With the Goods, DJ Georgie Woods and DJ Butterball , first white DJ to spin R&B records use to play this song often- sure brings back , good old times when the grownups would play cards on weekend nights while us kids played . Sure missed those times !!!
This Is Really A Good Song . Thank You For This Mr. Chandler. 😁⚘
This was our song when we first dated in the summer of 1970. We got married in November and are still very happily married . We just heard this song after all these years
The bass here is just sublime.
it is terrific!
Richard Evans played the bass.
Nice bass playing!!
@@TuberOnTheLoosethank you! I was trying to find out who it was!
I found out by asking a musician friend who knows Gene Chandler.
The Pop/R&B artists of the late-60's and early-70's were real class acts! Back in the spring of '70, I heard this *all the time* on AM Top-40 radio stations, and *STILL* enjoy it today!
Back when music was music.
Marcus Reeves hello stud how r you
Marcus when this song came out I was in grade8 I was a groovin.now almost 50 years later the chips and other junk food have taken there corse not a groovin or movin so much now.oh well great song.
WELL I WAS AROUND 7 YEARS OLD WHEN GENE BROUGHT THIS OUT IN 1970.NOW IN MY MIDDLE 50'S AND YES I DON'T MOVE AS WELL AS I USE TO ALSO BUT I STILL CAN GET DOWN A LITTLE,LOL.
Musicians and artists from yesteryear were multi-talented and put their hearts and souls into their music. Music from the 70's is music that I relate too.
one of the best examples of northern soul
GREAT SINGER WITH MANY HITS !!
Gene Chandler was born on July 6, 1937 in Chicago, Illinois. He is a Grammy Hall of Fame inductee and a recipient of the Rhythm and Blues Foundation's Pioneer Award. Today, July 6, 2022, he is celebrating his 85th birthday.
DAMN this takes me back. Elementary school for me...definitely the CUT
i've been diggin' it since 1970.
I haven't heard this in years. Still great...
It was a groovy situation back then...great song.
Took me a while to get that bass line down! I saw him at Chicago's original Regal Theater doing Rainbow 65 and years later got to become casually acquainted with him. Great vocalist, showman, and a good man!
Knew this since attending primary school & still sound greeaattt!!
This was one of my Dad's favorites.
Brings back so many memories!
Humming this song to my self while I was making breakfast. Had to open this up and sing along...loudly :) Good stuff.
Wow! all the way back in the day jam.
I just love people who love what they do....and Gene Chandler is one of this, and the talent is just amazing......I am bobbing me head in joy.
I love this music it is soooo romantic,so sweet I could listen it and the music from the 70,s the best.
We are getting old and well advanced years but they have notes how to keep the weather warm so birds can come together to Texas. Beautiful girls enjoy life with the ladies
Lawd have MOICY! Sweet sounds of soul. And that bass line!
