    Awesome! Great to see them performing the song with a band too, rather than say, lip-syncing to tape or some such. The crowd is definitely digging it and rightly so! Original air date Jun 22, 1974.

    OMG. Thank you for this Harri. The O’Jays are fabulous. Have seen them in concert and they were spectacular. If you want a real treat check out the O’Jays at Darryl’s House. This is one of the songs they perform live with Darryl Hall. SPECIAL !!

    Harri, You'll love their "Back Stabbers" and "Love Train". I still have both 45 rpm records. 1973. The 70s had the best music!! Great memories!!

    Harri you are absolutely correct about the nasty riff. That bass player all.over that G string on that early 70's Fender Percision bass on the opening riff. The sound was very unique.

    Many years ago I went to the Greek Theatre for a Motown Tribute!
    The O’Jays are one of my favorites!! Went with a musician friend so we had pretty good seats! The crowd went crazy when Stevie Wonder showed up in the audience!! 💰💸

    This song is Immortal. It has been used on so many films , everyone knows this song..it's a part of American consciousness. That opening riff is probably known by most people in the world. It's so Iconic.

  • @Imadrummin
    @Imadrummin 2 года назад +17

    Harri, I really enjoyed your choice and reaction. Your smile brings much joy. There are so many elements to this song. The groove is simply nasty. Yes, I have always loved playing drums to this song. Just a pure joy. My ultimate respect and humbled appreciation to the wonderful music and talent that has been shared with us. As Ringo says, "peace and love".

    YOU are so right with saying that's the nastiest riff in the beginning. You hear that bass coming in and it's slapping HARD! I haven't heard this in a long time and I'm loving it! This is bringing back a lot of good memories! Yeaaaahhh Maaannn! #NYGenXBikerLady

    Philly Soul in Harri's house!!! Yes Harri, this song it timeless, and this was an epic performance. I don't know that I've ever seen a Soul Train crowd so amped up as they were here! And I agree, Guvnor, that Gamble & Huff should get so much more credit than they receive. Philadelphia took over from Motown as the new capitol of Soul/R&B in the '70s, and *those two men...along with Thom Bell...were the biggest reason why!* I'm not sure which other group you were trying to think of in your reaction, but couldn't come up with the name. Was it The Delfonics? The Stylistics? The Spinners? They were all amazing -- as well as my gorgeous gals, The Three Degrees! ps~Terrific selection, Imadrummin!

    Usually when bands would appear on Soul Train they'd just lip sync as opposed to singing live. I'm glad they made an exception with this.

  • @luckylisa5496
    @luckylisa5496 2 года назад +1

    That was fantastic! I've never heard it live and certainly not at the sped up pace that was obvious but completely needed for the occasion! I really enjoyed watching those dancers too!

    Oh My God Harri!!! As soon as the video started I thought: oh no, the studio version is so great. But holy crap, this was insane! By the end, I was almost as out of my mind as you were. Soul Train never disappoints. - Brooklyn Mike

    R.I.P William Powell Jr. Underrated original member. This recorded just months before he was diagnosed with terminal colon cancer. A great loss. Thank you, Harri, and all respects to you and yours. Mr. Ken

  • @Lovejazz01
    @Lovejazz01 Год назад

    You are so right about Gamble and Huff, they lite the R&B charts on fire for years with the Philly Soul sound in the whole 70’s decade, and the coming from me who grew up in Memphis with Stax records in the 60’s and 70’s. I would like to search and find a great documentary on Gamble and Huff, truly legendary!

  • @dancarter482

    You know Grandmaster Flash sampled it to devastating effect on 'Step Off.' Took me years to put the two together.

      Just so you know, the barter system doesn't use money. Was there a time, when Babylonian Money Magic, and false scarcity was not being pushed on humanity?
      Yes.
      "Same, as it ever was"?
      No.

    There was always horns in Gamble and Huff Philadelphia International Records productions. This live appearance on Soul Train was one of the greats. We're very proud of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff here in Philly! Happy 50th anniversary to them and Philadelphia International Records!

  • @ronforeman2556
    @ronforeman2556 2 года назад +1

    Session player Anthony Jackson's funky, irresistible bass line MAKES the song, so much so that songwriters/producers Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff credited him as co-writer on the track. It's not complicated, but I've never heard any other bassist get quite the right feel (including the nappy headed white guy who appears in the O'Jays touring band on this "Soul Train" clip).

    Love The O’Jays that funky guitar 🎸 really got the crowd going & the O’Jays voices take me back to my record collection of Motown, Philly, Florida clubs !! The dancing is outta this world, they could compete with The Temptations and The Four Tops for dance moves 😻☮️💜 The horns & conga 🪘‘S & drums really made this version 😀

  • @corvuslight
    @corvuslight 2 года назад +1

    One of the greatest bass lines of all time, without a doubt.
    I do prefer the slower, more deliberate version though...it lends a sinister feeling and more of a blues feel to the funk, which i find most appropriate to the subject of the song.
    Still cool to see this version being played live back in the day!

  • @freda9809

    Not a bad live version, but it is too fast. The studio version slows it down a bit and has a better groove to it.

    Very sad you picked this live version. A real let down compared to the utter perfection of the stereo studio version. Thumbs down.

    • @calebclunie4001
      @calebclunie4001 2 года назад +1

      He had already been exposed to the studio version.
      This live performance is something he could possibly share, with a certain degree of freshness.
      I love the studio version, too.
      There are only a handful of groups, that were allowed to sing their tunes, on Soul Train, rather than lip-synch.
      These performers are top, and shook that place.
      It's a different product, but it's definitely not broken.

    • @johnandrews3151
      @johnandrews3151 2 года назад
