This is their debut album and literally every song is a hit. The guy Tom Schultz worked for Polaroid camera company and built the studio in his basement and played most of the instruments along with Brad Delph who was the vocalist. No one had ever heard anything like it before back in those days so get ready to jump down the rabbit hole of this record. You will be blown away just like we were.
Always amazes me that Tom Scholz sent a Brad and a band to California to record at the record label's studio, then secretly submitted the recordings he produced, himself, in his own basement for the LP. I really feel that was neccessary, though, as record labels back then were so bent on producing music they knew would sell and not try anything different. Yeah, some of the songs on their 1976 debut album just can't be done live, but who cares, we listen to most of our music at home, or in the car, etc. First time listening to the LP my sister bought in 1976 when I was only nine, I knew then, a new era in music started. Not even knowing then, that Scholz tricked the record label to get this album out.
Lol.. I LOVE when the younger generations react to what we grew up with! No effects just Genius Composition by Tom Sholz and Brad Delp's Legendary Voice! Go listen to some Isolation Vocal Tracks of him and be FLOORED... He is my all time Favorite BOSTON LIVES! RIP Brad..
I’m 71, so when this hit the radio, EVERYONE went nuts over it. What you said about songs taking you back…is 💯! I got such a kick watching your reaction! Feeling good watching you feeling good! Nice Job Brother-man!!!! 👍👍👍
Seeing them live, smell of pot in the air, volume heard from space, rocking hard... glorious. They were one of a kind and the whole album was fantastic.
I was in love with Brad Delp and his singing. I only got to see them once, but OMG, they were brilliant. We lost a unique talent when Brad took his own life. If you don't get goosebumps when you hear that voice, you must not have a soul.
I remember when this song came out. Fell in love instantly. Nearly fifty years later, the lyrics now apply to the song itself - "More Than a Feeling" is the song that makes me dream of the past.
Boston is a great American rock band who had their biggest success in the 70's-80's. They had a lot of great songs such as "Foreplay/Long Time", "Peace Of Mind", "Rock & Roll Band", "Don't Look Back", "A Man I'll Never Be", "Feelin' Satisfied", Smokin'", "We're Ready", "Amanda", "Hitch A Ride", "Hollyann", "Cool The Engines" etc.
Brad Delp could hit it like no other - criminally underrated singer. 70’s music was so diverse so much talent- Rock R & B Disco Ballads Southern Rock- we had it all. Blessed to have grown up in that decade🙏❤️
ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS EVER!!!!!! SOME OF THEIR OTHER HITS: AMANDA, FOREPLAY/LONG TIME, FEELING SATISFIED, PEACE OF MIND, AND MANY OTHERS, ENJOY!!!!!
Shon, be careful man, Foreplay/Longtime and Peace of Mind are awesome just like this and might get you a speeding ticket 🛣️🚔......tell the officer that you just discovered Boston and was jammin' out!!!! 👍🤔🤨😎
Boston will always stir up different emotions in me! I went through a LOT during that time, so yea, it is nostalgic! It stirs up memories along with the emotions! Sometimes it actually hurts my heart, while enjoying the music! Weird combo I know, but the only way to describe it for me! tbh! Thanks, ❤
I play this song all the time. It's on my chore playlist. We were so spoiled with excellent music in the 70's and 80's. I can't dance anymore but I can still move the hips a bit to songs like this.
Shon, you are absolutely right. I will be 50 this year. Thanks to my Aunt Sue, I grew up on music. Everything from the fifties up. Aunt Sue had a deal with the local juke box guy. They just threw out the 45's when they changed them out, as they were considered overplayed. So she talked to him, and he told her she could have them, as long as she took them all, therefore saving him a trip to the dump at the end of his day. So she had hundreds of 45's. We would hang out in her room, stack them up randomly, and just listen and sing along all day. (I was a young kid then, by the way, my elementary school yrs) I really enjoy watching younger people such as yourself hear all this great music for the first time. It makes me very happy that you are open to hearing it, and that these great songs will go on for yet another generation.
My go to song when driving or having a sh!t day, turn up the volume and boom life is good. Keep on smiling and stay positive, your energy is infectious my friend.
Bob Seger (pronounced Seeger) with Night Moves, Main Street or Turn the Page . I think you’ll like Bob and his Silver Bullet Band. Another artist is Bad Company, their song Bad Company from the album Bad Company is a good place to delve into. Great reactions!! 👍👍
this song in the 70's was huge, blasting on all the car stereos in high school parking lots, on the main drag, everywhere, it defines the 70's rock scene imo
Shon. You really spoke truth - it is very much nostalgia and the joy of watching someone’s real reaction for the first time. Keep up the positive vibrations yeah
So true music has the uncanny ability to trigger and transport us back to a specific memory of time, person or place. Boston has so many more great songs for you to discover. Great reaction and insights!
There were many groups named after cities and states. Here's a list of a few. Alabama, Buffalo Springfield, Boston, Chicago, Mitchell Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, Ohio Players, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Orleans, Kansas, Miami Sound Machine, Kentucky Headhunters. There were more but these were the most popular.
Glad you found Boston! 👍 And you are 100% spot on about the nostalgia and the memories. It adds to the good memories to see someone experience this music for the first time...it helps me remember all the good times where this song was playing in the background. 👍 Folks don't understand how it was in the 70s and 80s...you had to pick your station. And if you picked rock, songs like this were all you heard, over and over, for years.
Yeah, a lot of us are much older and the music brings up memories for us, but we can have those memories anytime when we hear the music in our daily lives. What most of us are hear for is to help educate and guide channels like yours. You're opening yourself up to a whole new world, and we'd be completely negligent if we didn't take our duties as teachers to the new generations seriously. And it's an amazing feeling to watch a person grow musically, and consequently emotionally, with our guidance. And honestly for me, having listened to this all my life, I've learned to hear the music in a new way myself. We're helping each other. On to "Foreplay/Long Time"!
Can't wait to see you react to Boston's, Fore Play/Long Time, song. You're in for a treat. Good to see younger generations enjoying this era of music and not letting it die out.
Dude......ANYTHING from Boston is a "must listen". The song that sets off my memories of being young and in high school is "Stone In Love" by Journey. Your analysis of music bringing back fond memories is spot ON!
If you want to hear some great 70s music with 3 band members harmonizing oh so well check out the 1975 live version of 'Eli's Coming' by the band Three Dog Night. They were a super popular band back in the day with a lot of hits. I am 61 and grew up with this band as well as the greats you've reacted to like Boston and Chicago and Kansas. I do get so nostalgic because these bands and songs were such a huge part of my life as I entered my teen years and beyond. But check out Three Dog Night, they are late 60s and on through early to mid 70s, their sound takes me back in my mind and spirit to that time!
Yeah this song came out when I was just starting high school. I close my eyes and I drift away hits me every time! For the best intro to a song ever made listen to Foreplay/Long Time by Boston
I saw them live in the 70s! So lucky to grow up with the bands in that decade. Unmatched vocals, instrumentals, lyrics, and composition. You will love "Peace of Mind" by Boston. Sooo talented!
Yes, this song takes me back to my senior class, small Midwestern town, everyone meeting at a party in the field, bonfire, Boones Farm, grass, best friends, right after the Friday night basket ball game at the high school. There were no cliques, colors or bullying. We loved each other like family. I will cherish those days forever.
I had no idea you hadn't heard any Boston yet. The self-titled debut album that the song is from is, along with albums like the first Van Halen album, considered to be one of the greatest debut albums in rock history. A lot of reactors have done this, but literally every song on this album. Radio play and they are each fire in their own way, it's such a solid album that you could work your way through every song on the album in sequence, one reaction at a time. I've seen people do this and it always goes over really well and they come away loving the band so much. And it could work because this is literally the first song on the album. You heard the first song on their first album. I saw them in 1977 for $7.50 or maybe it was $9.50 including all the extra fees and tax and everything. What an incredible show.
This was the lead song on their debut album...the soundtrack of which was recorded in Tom Scholz' (the songwriter's) basement. Tom was a very talented sound engineer, in addition to being a very talented songwriter. He talked his friend Brad Delp into recording the vocals on the demo tape that was sent to the recording studio...who decided to just release the demo tape recording as the official album! The song, and the entire album, became monster hits in 1976. Considered by many to be the best debut album ever released. React to every song on that album. You'll be glad you did.
@ 3:27 I Absolutely Love the vibe Fran Sheehan is in. Watching him "bob" his head around, you could tell he was totally feeling it!! That's "Loving what you're doing" at its Finest!! This song is Timeless!! RIP Brad Delp. You are sorely missed!
SPOT ON reaction, bro! You are so right... Brad Delp's voice was SPECIAL, and this song right here was a song we all got lost in back in the day when it first came out... and it now brings back such fond memories. It DOES make you feel good, as only incredible music can. LOVE your reactions... keep up the great work! This album is, in my estimation, the greatest debut album in rock history. EVERY song is a masterpiece, and it's CRIMINAL that Boston isn't in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. Your next choice MUST be "Foreplay/Long Time" then "Smokin'", and then I'd switch things up and go with the best song on their sophomore album "Don't Look Back" with "Feelin' Satisfied". You CAN'T go wrong with Boston.
First album I ever owned. Got it the summer before I went into 7th grade. Wore it out. 47 years later I still turn it up when it comes on and for a few moments, I'm 13 years old again....
Love it. Love your reaction. And yes this was great in concert. At my age of 60 I can remember the live concerts. I am so happy you can appreciate what we experienced
"Foreplay/Long Time", "Peace of Mind", "Rock n Roll Band", "Hitch A Ride", etc...., they had so many! Brad Delp was awesome, I love him. I saw Boston in 1977, the year I graduated and it was one of the best concerts I've been to. Boston was fire in the 70's, 80's and 90's. I think Boston actually started touring before they were signed to a record label.
100% I feel nostalgia watching you hear music from days past. I absolutely remember the first time I heard many of the songs you react to. Seeing you enjoy and/or appreciate the same songs that make me feel good absolutely is enjoyable. To be honest, it also helps me re-connect with a lot of the tracks and appreciate them even more. Peace and much love man! (QUICK EDIT) - A song I think you might enjoy reacting to is "Come Sail Away" by the group Styx. For me, it hits the same feelings of "I remember where I was when I heard this" as well as having lyrics that suck you in and then send you into your own memories.
Dude..I was born in 1970...my life has the best soundtrack known...starting with Elvis when I was a kid.from my parents..black sabbath judas priest from the younger uncles...the doors..Joplin from my outcast hippie aunt...and my own choices when I learned how to work the radio dial..teenager in the 80s.(truly feel bad for everyone who missed out on that)..in my 20s in the 90s...the best of everything...I'm so lucky 💙💙💙
No Studio my man, this was done in a basement at the guitarists home. He’s an M.I.T. Electrical engineer grad. Tom Sholz. He mixed and arranged the entire album except one song. Which he got help on. He brought in his friend Brad Delp for the vocals, thank god! Brought it toa record exec. And told him to go to a studio and have it professionally done. He didn’t, he waited a year and re-presented it and then was told to tour. He then had to hire a band.
Boston burst onto the pop music scene in 1976 with their very first album called "Boston" and not only did it become their biggest selling album, but the album became the biggest selling album in rock history 👀 This single "More Than a Feeling" peaked at number 4 on US Billboard Top 100 chart. This is considered to be under the genre of "Progressive Rock" this band infused elements of prog. rock with the 1960's pop music sound. The band is from Massachusetts and was founded by Tom Scholz. All together the band has released six studio albums in a career spanning out across 48 years. Here's another suggestion in case you're interested *"Boston - Let Me Take You Home Tonight (Official Audio)"* Thanx 4 sharing, Shon really enjoyed this one
Saw them 1976 at Ohio State my sophomore year, and saw them 7 times . This debut album is IMO the greatest debut album for an American band ever. They just blew the roof out of the buildings, and my ears rang for 3 days afterwords. 👍👍👍
Came out when I was in high school..... WE ALL LOST OUR MINDS....Consider... It was WAY before... Computers and Autotune....Blew our minds The Entire album was Fabulous!!!
And keep in mind, back then there was no auto tune. That’s his voice.
This is their debut album and literally every song is a hit. The guy Tom Schultz worked for Polaroid camera company and built the studio in his basement and played most of the instruments along with Brad Delph who was the vocalist. No one had ever heard anything like it before back in those days so get ready to jump down the rabbit hole of this record. You will be blown away just like we were.
Magic is the only descripti0n for this album presentation, both music ally, lyrics & band presentation 7:18
I love seeing the new generations discovering our music! I’m jealous that they get to experience that “first time hearing” them! LOL
Always amazes me that Tom Scholz sent a Brad and a band to California to record at the record label's studio, then secretly submitted the recordings he produced, himself, in his own basement for the LP. I really feel that was neccessary, though, as record labels back then were so bent on producing music they knew would sell and not try anything different.

Not even knowing then, that Scholz tricked the record label to get this album out.
47 years later and it NEVER GETS OLD
60 70 and 80 was the best music ever made. Pure talent
Lol.. I LOVE when the younger generations react to what we grew up with! No effects just Genius Composition by Tom Sholz and Brad Delp's Legendary Voice! Go listen to some Isolation Vocal Tracks of him and be FLOORED... He is my all time Favorite BOSTON LIVES! RIP Brad..
Everyone looked like that in the 70s..no auto tune back then, only pure talent..one of my all time fav songs
Hi, couldn't agree more...everything today is computer generated.......
In those days..it was your TALENT that mattered....
IMHO Boston is one vastly under rated group. And Brad Delp (RIP) voice was one of the best of the era.
I’m 71, so when this hit the radio, EVERYONE went nuts over it. What you said about songs taking you back…is 💯! I got such a kick watching your reaction! Feeling good watching you feeling good! Nice Job Brother-man!!!! 👍👍👍
All of us older subscribers love you getting it...Thanks for keeping great music alive!
When you can sing like that it’s called having “the pipes”! His voice is an instrument unto itself.
One of the cleanest crispest most sonically pleasing album of its time. Crazy production and sound
Seeing them live, smell of pot in the air, volume heard from space, rocking hard... glorious. They were one of a kind and the whole album was fantastic.
Almost EVERYONE in the WORLD knows this song.
It's still very popular, even since 1976.
Great reaction my Man.
I was in love with Brad Delp and his singing. I only got to see them once, but OMG, they were brilliant. We lost a unique talent when Brad took his own life. If you don't get goosebumps when you hear that voice, you must not have a soul.
Me too. Also got to see them once - Toronto 1977 and was mesmerized by Brad's voice........and of course hotness!
Same. I wasn’t over his death when my very favorite (Chris Cornell) passed too. I don’t think those two deaths will ever make sense…..
I remember when this song came out. Fell in love instantly. Nearly fifty years later, the lyrics now apply to the song itself - "More Than a Feeling" is the song that makes me dream of the past.
BOSTON, "MORE THAN A FEELING". Not only this song was a Hit. The whole album was just that. So continue with each song. 🎶✌🎵
Boston is a great American rock band who had their biggest success in the 70's-80's. They had a lot of great songs such as "Foreplay/Long Time", "Peace Of Mind", "Rock & Roll Band", "Don't Look Back", "A Man I'll Never Be", "Feelin' Satisfied", Smokin'", "We're Ready", "Amanda", "Hitch A Ride", "Hollyann", "Cool The Engines" etc.
"Amanda", "Hollyann", and "A Man I'll Never Be" - some of the most underrated songs of the 20th centuary. You know your tunes mate.
One of the best debut albums ever. Every song is a hit.
RIP Brad Delp, the nicest guy in rock. Ya gave us so much more than a feeling.
And now this song is more than a feeling.
Brad Delp could hit it like no other - criminally underrated singer. 70’s music was so diverse so much talent- Rock R & B Disco Ballads Southern Rock- we had it all. Blessed to have grown up in that decade🙏❤️
This is one of my favorite songs of all time. And I believe it to be timeless itself.
"Whose squeezin my man's nuts" LMAO - That was the BEST one liner EVER!!! I grew up listening to this album!! Nostalgic for sure!😍
I saw Boston live a few times in the 80s. Yes, Brad Delp really could hit and sustain those high notes for real. RIP
Yeah I saw them too after just the first album .. my second concert ever
ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS EVER!!!!!! SOME OF THEIR OTHER HITS: AMANDA, FOREPLAY/LONG TIME, FEELING SATISFIED, PEACE OF MIND, AND MANY OTHERS, ENJOY!!!!!
Shon, be careful man, Foreplay/Longtime and Peace of Mind are awesome just like this and might get you a speeding ticket 🛣️🚔......tell the officer that you just discovered Boston and was jammin' out!!!! 👍🤔🤨😎
Boston will always stir up different emotions in me! I went through a LOT during that time, so yea, it is nostalgic! It stirs up memories along with the emotions!

I can't dance anymore but I can still move the hips a bit to songs like this.
This is my JAM!!!! It's such a great driving song.
Absolutely right. I'm 69, and many of the songs hit me in someway. Bringing back memories or feelings.
Shon, you are absolutely right. I will be 50 this year. Thanks to my Aunt Sue, I grew up on music. Everything from the fifties up. Aunt Sue had a deal with the local juke box guy. They just threw out the 45's when they changed them out, as they were considered overplayed. So she talked to him, and he told her she could have them, as long as she took them all, therefore saving him a trip to the dump at the end of his day. So she had hundreds of 45's.

It makes me very happy that you are open to hearing it, and that these great songs will go on for yet another generation.
That’s one hell of a hook-up! Cool Aunt Sue rocks!
The oldies but goodies. Great reaction!
You can't beat their harmonizing vocals and guitars... and Brad's voice was one of those most memorable powerhouse voices of the classic rock era.
I love watching people enjoy my all time favorite song! ❤🤘 Great reaction.
My go to song when driving or having a sh!t day, turn up the volume and boom life is good. Keep on smiling and stay positive, your energy is infectious my friend.
Bob Seger (pronounced Seeger) with Night Moves, Main Street or Turn the Page . I think you’ll like Bob and his Silver Bullet Band. Another artist is Bad Company, their song Bad Company from the album Bad Company is a good place to delve into. Great reactions!! 👍👍
this song in the 70's was huge, blasting on all the car stereos in high school parking lots, on the main drag, everywhere, it defines the 70's rock scene imo
I love this whole album. Brings back so many memories. Great to see people enjoying the music that I did in my younger days. 😊❤
You're so right. There's a lot of nostalgia in the songs you react to. This one is a perfect example. Brings me back to the 80's
Great reaction to a classic song that defined the 70s.
I remember listening to this album on 8 track in my dad's 1978 Ford 150 custom. RIP DAD, and Brad Delp. 🙏😇
Shon. You really spoke truth - it is very much nostalgia and the joy of watching someone’s real reaction for the first time. Keep up the positive vibrations yeah
You grabbed the meaning of the song so quickly! Good job, man. So many layers to the music and vocals in this one. That’s why it’s a rock classic👍
So true music has the uncanny ability to trigger and transport us back to a specific memory of time, person or place. Boston has so many more great songs for you to discover. Great reaction and insights!
There were many groups named after cities and states. Here's a list of a few. Alabama, Buffalo Springfield, Boston, Chicago, Mitchell Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, Ohio Players, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Orleans, Kansas, Miami Sound Machine, Kentucky Headhunters. There were more but these were the most popular.
Glad you found Boston! 👍 And you are 100% spot on about the nostalgia and the memories.

Always hits home.
I closed my eyes and she slipped away.

Dude......ANYTHING from Boston is a "must listen".
The song that sets off my memories of being young and in high school is "Stone In Love" by Journey. Your analysis of music bringing back fond memories is spot ON!
I grew up in the 70s and till this day my favorite sing, your right about memories.
I have a lot of great memories with this song....good times we had.
I feel so lucky to have been in college with songs like these. And yes, talk about bringing back memories
Ur joyful reactions to music videos have killed me so many times❤🤘
Best reactions ever.....😊
70's Stache! That's how a lot of men rocked it in the 70's. My dad did too and my dad was in his late 30's during the 1970's, turning 40 in 1976.
If you want to hear some great 70s music with 3 band members harmonizing oh so well check out the 1975 live version of 'Eli's Coming' by the band Three Dog Night.

But check out Three Dog Night, they are late 60s and on through early to mid 70s, their sound takes me back in my mind and spirit to that time!
This nostalgic for a lot of us. You are so right! I love you loving this music❤️❤️
Heard them live in concert Years back , They sound the same as studio Great Band. Thanks for playing
Yeah this song came out when I was just starting high school. I close my eyes and I drift away hits me every time! For the best intro to a song ever made listen to Foreplay/Long Time by Boston
Fantastic music. So happy I grew up with this on the radio.
Favorite song, favorite singer Brad Delp RIP. So many great songs from their band.
Love Boston ❤️ I grew up with these bands!!
I saw them live in the 70s! So lucky to grow up with the bands in that decade. Unmatched vocals, instrumentals, lyrics, and composition. You will love "Peace of Mind" by Boston. Sooo talented!
Yes, this song takes me back to my senior class, small Midwestern town, everyone meeting at a party in the field, bonfire, Boones Farm, grass, best friends, right after the Friday night basket ball game at the high school. There were no cliques, colors or bullying. We loved each other like family. I will cherish those days forever.

RIP vocalist Brad Delp and drummer Sib Hashian. Sib's daughter, Lauren, is married to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
One of the best live shows I've seen.

I think Boston actually started touring before they were signed to a record label.
Back in the day when I was about 20, everyone had this in their cassette collection. I'm now 66. Back then you had to really sing on your own.
100% I feel nostalgia watching you hear music from days past. I absolutely remember the first time I heard many of the songs you react to. Seeing you enjoy and/or appreciate the same songs that make me feel good absolutely is enjoyable. To be honest, it also helps me re-connect with a lot of the tracks and appreciate them even more. Peace and much love man!
(QUICK EDIT) - A song I think you might enjoy reacting to is "Come Sail Away" by the group Styx. For me, it hits the same feelings of "I remember where I was when I heard this" as well as having lyrics that suck you in and then send you into your own memories.
Dude..I was born in 1970...my life has the best soundtrack known...starting with Elvis when I was a kid.from my parents..black sabbath judas priest from the younger uncles...the doors..Joplin from my outcast hippie aunt...and my own choices when I learned how to work the radio dial..teenager in the 80s.(truly feel bad for everyone who missed out on that)..in my 20s in the 90s...the best of everything...I'm so lucky 💙💙💙

He didn’t, he waited a year and re-presented it and then was told to tour. He then had to hire a band.
The entire first album is epic!
This band was part of the "Guitar Army" trend. Four or so guys up there, and everybody has a guitar.
Shon,you are in for a treat! The whole album is FIRE!🔥👊
Almost every sing I know, for me, gives me a memory❤️
Boston burst onto the pop music scene in 1976 with their very first album called "Boston" and not only did it become their biggest selling album, but the album became the biggest selling album in rock history 👀 This single "More Than a Feeling" peaked at number 4 on US Billboard Top 100 chart. This is considered to be under the genre of "Progressive Rock" this band infused elements of prog. rock with the 1960's pop music sound. The band is from Massachusetts and was founded by Tom Scholz. All together the band has released six studio albums in a career spanning out across 48 years. Here's another suggestion in case you're interested *"Boston - Let Me Take You Home Tonight (Official Audio)"* Thanx 4 sharing, Shon really enjoyed this one
RIP, Brad Delp, he always gets forgotten for the great vocalist. He was, his death was a damn tragedy
Yessssss!
❤👍🏻another good song 🎵 by Boston called peace of mind. That you may also like 👍🏻 cause actually the whole album is very good 👍🏻
One of the first rock bands that caught my attention. ❤❤❤
This is one of those that the whole album is really good!
saw them in the mid 70's. they sounded exactly like their album. Brad Delp had an incredible voice.
We all have our own favourite Bost song and this will ALWAYS be mine!!
Facts. This song is a huge touch❤️
Saw them 1976 at Ohio State my sophomore year, and saw them 7 times . This debut album is IMO the greatest debut album for an American band ever. They just blew the roof out of the buildings, and my ears rang for 3 days afterwords. 👍👍👍
Best debut album of all time period not a bad song on it.
Just discovered your channel today. Love the insightful comments on your reactions. Master of Puppets brought me here!
This entire album is FIRE 🔥 Every single song was a hit
I love Boston and ELO
The vocals, harmonies, guitars - the production is frickin IMMACULATE.
My entire 1976 summer walking up and down ocean blvd in Myrtle Beach SC with every car driving by blasting this 😊❤
They’re a fun rabbit hole to go down. And they probably said “I know we got a hit” with every song they recorded on this album!
The best part of Boston is all of their songs are fire! Brad Delp on vocals can't be beat.
Came out when I was in high school.....
WE ALL LOST OUR MINDS....Consider...
It was WAY before...
Computers and Autotune....Blew our minds
The Entire album was Fabulous!!!
A great band. I remember we had this album in the early seventies, great memories.
🎶🎶❤️❤️👍
