WOW!!!! What a performance!! His diction and voice is beautiful .They all sound fantastic!! What a great song. The 70s was on fire!!
real music player
Smooth and masculine.
Back when live performances sounded like the recordings without lip syncing!
I had that same outfit back in the day!!! White patent leather shoes with stack heels!!! LOL!!! and elephant bell bottoms!
❤❤❤
Love the Natural Four out of the Bay Area and Oaktown representing Northern California Soul
i had totally forgot this smash! i remember hearing this on the radio never saw the group until today!
Never forgot this old school tune still listening in Dec 2021 going into 2022. Where did this music 🎵🎶 go ?
This was a jam. Real music! Where did it go?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He did this song justice I just live this group back then this is 2023 and I still love it❤
I haven't heard this song for years, might be 40 yrs. OMG, a true oldie.
GREAT live performance!!!
The audience was trippin'! Sitting there not even bobbin' their heads. This performance was perfect!
Back in the day they had to perform for white people, that did'nt have any rhythm are soul, that's what I hate about the live performances for our good ole legendary soul steppers.
OUR CULTURE is MAGNIFICENT
Wonderful!!! I haven't heard this in decades, it's a classic 🎶🎵🎶
curtis is all over this
They made the bell bottoms look good;-) :-)
This is when music was music, not the RAP garbage we hear in the Black community. I remember watching the Midnight Special on Friday nights back in the early 70's. Happy 50th 1973 Anniversary Classes of Durham High School & Hillside High School - Durham, North Carolina. I am listening to this song, July 4th, 2023.
I thought I was on top of the world every time I heard played this fantastic song🎼🎶🎵 sweet memories 💋💌💞💯
Love the dance moves.
I enjoyed watching the Midnight Special on Friday nights years ago in the early 70's.
Real Soul period
Smooth moves 👍💯💪👑✊💪🔥
The first time I heard this jam it was early winter 1974 I was 15yrs young and was in the 9th grade, the final year at McClure Jr Hi etc..... Where did all the time go???
When music was meaningful..❤️❤️❤️
TRULY " OUT OF SIGHT " TYVM AND PLEASE DO KEEP THEM COMING AND COMING!
Now this is a true OLDIE!!!!
Ok I like them never heard this group before
I’m in my 46 but I like it🥰 I’ll be adding this one to my group 👍🏾
Always have had a thing for tall and lanky guys and the guy on the left is one of them. Love his smooth moves
Back then everyone was slim, trim, and about the same size. Things didn't go haywire until all the frankenfood started being produced.
@@sk8queen yes, so true. All one has to do is watch Soul Train. An overweight person was an anomaly. The food industry added high fructose corn syrup to everything and people wonder why there are so many obese people.
You'd be better off with a short chubby guy like me Karie. Delmos Whitley the one on left lead singing.
He became a drug addict robbed a bank and did about twenty years in prison. Released I think recently poor fella.
@harolddottin10 My dad and his brothers were tall, haha. I suspect their height influenced my attraction to tall men. However, there's nothing wrong with men who are under six feet. My mom's brother was rather short, but he was a good man. It's also sad to learn that the singer threw his life away.
@@sk8queen Yes, and it was confirmed weekly on Soul Train. The youth were slim and in good physical condition, doing splits and all manner of hijinks.
Yeeeeeesssssss
Remember them back in the day in SF,LOVE them!
What memories this song brings back ❤❤2023
December covid-19 2021
Real nice job fellas. The choreography was tight. I wish I could have heard more from this group back in the day.
But hey! that's the entertainment business for you.
