By Request, this is the second hit from Soul Generation. This was recorded in 1973 and is another gem, but personally I like Body and Soul a little bit better.
Isn't it heaven? I heard this song somewhere along the line when I was about 23 years old for the first time......decades after it came out. To be able to find it online with a few keystrokes is magic.
OMG I agree with you all the way on those comments TRUE DAT! When real music speaks for itself timeless indeed AMEN! MEMORIES WOW! ! Still Listening How About January 28 2019 Tanya
I would love to experience the 70s I'm an 80s baby we had it going on too. I feel like I was 50/50 with both.I was a Little bit younger,my brother and sister were 70s So I still was hearing that amazing music from your time frame.
As a Kid I used to do the steps...Ha! right along with this song, and as a drummer of the tender age of 12 I did my best to keep up:-) dayumm I miss those days.
Harmony, irony and live musicians are just some of the big differences that this music has from today's music. Long live soul music and all its practitioners.
I heard this on the radio today riding in the car with my cousin and his wife. I busted out laughing remembering the good times running around in DC clubs. That was a serious slow dance.
I agree with you 💯 %. I too lived in the Washington Metropolitan area when this song was released. The fellows used to sing this in Suitland High School's hallways...lol.
The 70's was a great time for the music genre. Because of the many classics generated during this era it's hard to say any one song was your favorite. So much of the music of this generatation has stood the test of time. A compliment to the greatness of the singers and muscians who REALLY SUNG THE SONGS and PLAYED the INSTRUMENTS. MrGoldStander09 it's good to know that teenagers not only recognize but can apprecitate good music. The 1970's you had to have been there. What a great time!!!
Wow i will never forget this song. I was in new York going upstairs in my apartment building and a handsome young man wad coming down the stairs singing this song and he stopped me and said id he had a million dollars he would definitely give me half. Lol!! The song is really beautiful, along with body and soul. Yes!!
Blue Lights in the Basement! everytime a slow somg came on, a parent would open the door at the top of the stairs....Never came down, just letting us know, "Don't even think about it"!
brenda nelson OMG This beautiful classic is in its own class of its own MEMORIES WOW! ! We were so lucky to be born to experience that awesome era and some do you agree Brenda?
WHAT YA'LL KNOW ABOUT THIS, BACK IN HARTFORD CT, WE HAD THE RED LIGHT BASEMENT PARTIES, AND THIS SONG CAME ON AND EVERYBODY GRABBED SOMEBODY, HOLDING EACH OTHER CLOSE AND GETTING YOUR "DOUBLE GRIND" 2 STEP ON. THE STUFF THEY PLAY NOW IS NOTHING BUT TRASH. OLD SCHOOL WILL NEVER DIE!
This song came out in 1973, I was living in DC. I lived in Willimantic from 1960-1968. Had some great times at the blue light in the basement parties lol.
I grew up with this in apartheid South Africa. My parents had to smuggle it in the country. Soul music at it's best. Slow dancing and holding each other tight. 🥰
This song was just sent to me by a great friend....LOVE THOSE OLDIES, SLOW CLASSIC HITS! THANX FOR SHARING THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE THROUGH THESE TIMELES ROMANTIC LYRICS! ♥
I am over the moon right now! Never thought I would find this song anywhere! Those high notes, reminds me of Old school Philly Grove sounds! Thank you, thank you, thank you 😍😍😎
Oh my, this takes me back far. I grew up in NYC. And there was a AM radio station out of NJ, WNJR 1430 on your AM dial. Oh my, that was the days.. All of what's from back in the day, was played on this station. I'm so sad inside that they took that station off the air. They played, what is now old school, grown folks music**))
My pops put me on to this n I’m 19, 😂 its funny listening to all y’all old heads talking bout how it was back in the day. 😂😂 makes me wish I existed back in that time
Darryn Scot I'm a ode skool junkie can't have it no other way Darryn those were the good old days 4REAL! ! Thank God for UTUBE that's my time machine 4REAL Ode skool music soothes the soul 4SURE! ! MEMORIES WOW! !
Awwwwwww I love this song! To my 1st born son.. & all my kids. But I would sing this song to him when he was little .. he would say Mom where's my million bucks!!
My grandmother, mother, sister and I used to sing this at my grandmothers house every Tuesday night. #turnuptuesdays We had our drinks gin & oj or rum and pineapple sipping and just vibing with some good food. I’m so happy I was raised around old heads and women with so much class, style and with a little hint of special soul. Rip grandma I wish you were still here ❤️🙏🏼
all these song on this mix remind me of growing up in Brooklyn. takes me back to some very good memories, and especially makes me miss my brother, Leon, even more. we were thisclose and used to sing all these songs. Thanks for Posting Mr. Stewart.
Lovely!!! Ghetto Rock guitarist Kenny Blackbird of PISCES GOLD loves this music!! I was nine years old when this came out and this music still stands the test of time, oh my god! this is so soulful!! This song as well as Creative Funk's READY MADE FAMILY and a whole host of other legendary soul artist's music are inspiring.A little known fact:influenced by Curtis Mayfeild, Jimi Hendrix and Cornell Dupree were innovating this style of music as far back as 1966.
Songs like these truly defined love between 2 people. Sure! we were young and restless and didn't have alot of sense sometimes, But one thing we definitely had. And that was a desire to love and be loved and the music to bring it out of us! We WERE the "Soul Generation"!
Pandora just played this for me and brought me to tears. Haven't heard it since back in the day. Back then in NY/NJ it was WWRL, WNJR, and WBLS-FM. They just don't play music like this in Los Angeles in 2016.
wow, you just mentioned some of the best radio stations ever, Franky Crocker, and the gang..WWRL with those soul searchers..OMG! too much! Only in NY !
I think Eddie OJ was one of the DJ's on WWRL. And my aunt used to listen to ol' shifty ass Reverend Ike. Ike reminded me of the reverend Richard Pryor played in the movie "Which Way Is Up?"
tkeitt43 This song said it all 4 love.Slow dancing was the thing that every 1 got up 4 @ any house party back n the day.....This song makes me remember those days............thank u
ALL THE HOUSE PARTIES IN THE IMPERIAL COURTS PROJECTS BACK IN DA DAY. WATTS, SOUTH CENTRAL- LOS ANGELES. I WISH I COULD GO BACK, THINGS WOULD TRULY BE DIFFERENT. THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE. GOD BLESS! MS WANDA
This remind me of the basement parties we went to from New Jersey blue .black .red against the cold pipes and hitting your head on the low celling lol great times wouldnt change it for nothing in the world slow dances was awesome back then
It’s a family affair , thank God we experienced a time that will never return , it was millions dollars , body and soul , walking in the rain , la la la means I love you , so many.
Beautiful music. I must’ve been in the fifth or sixth grade when this song came out. My older siblings used to listen to this stuff, but I loved it too. This music is much better than the junk They have out now.

My son had just died when this song came on the radio. If I had a million dollars and it could make him come back, I would.
I’m so sorry 😢
❤
im so so sorry.
condolences. and strength and love as well as light
Music in the 70's was unbelievable....and timeless. I am glad I grew up in those times
I have been trying to find this song and now I finally can!!!!!
Who agrees
Isn't it heaven? I heard this song somewhere along the line when I was about 23 years old for the first time......decades after it came out. To be able to find it online with a few keystrokes is magic.
i am 40 i listened to this song as a child and fell in love with it...... this is music, JZ and the rest dont have nothing on it!!!!!!
You're a 💯 percent right sis, today's music doesn't mean a thing !!!!!¡!
I played my 45 today, so thought I'd come to RUclips to hear it without the scratches!
i was young and maybe dumb lol, but the guy i was with at the time took me to a higher mountain playing this song, and we reached the MOON.
I agree with everyone below. Such memories from 70's NY. The song hits a chord in my heart!
WE'RE IN N.Y.
Songs like this make me feel sorry for my kids that they didn't have these experiences. party anyone?
One of the best, most beautiful and best controlled male falsetto voices in modern American music.🌹🌹🌹Respect.❤️
Damn I miss those days when the music felt like this.You can't even get a slow dance anymore because they changed the frequency of the music.
Gotta have a throwback party to get that slow dance.
IF I HAD A MILLION DOLLARS I LOVE GO BACK TO THE 70'S
OMG I agree with you all the way on those comments TRUE DAT! When real music speaks for itself timeless indeed AMEN! MEMORIES WOW! ! Still Listening How About January 28 2019 Tanya

Cross 'Em Up Yes indeed
I dare anyone to try and duplicate this timeless,classic,joint right here!!
OH YEAH! THEY WILL.
THIS GREAT OLD CLASSIC WILL TOUCH YOUR SOUL ABD MAKE YOU CRY. I REMEMBER THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG SO VERY WELL. MY ERA, GOLDEN!
in 1972 i was singing my heart out to this at the ripe old age of 8..
Your the same age as me. And i did this song well at the high skool talent show in Hartford CT.
I knew body and soul came out in 72,but I didn't know a million bucks was in 72 as well I thought it came out later
😂 13.
A million dollars seemed an impossible amount of money in those days. Now millionaires are made on a daily basis.
I was 9 lol
All I can Say is Wow This Was the Jam! And Also My Generation The 70's Was The bomb.

Alright now.......back when this was out, the fellas and I would try to impress the girls by blowing this on the corner, up in Harlem. Fun times.
dadzilla Those were the good old days carefree my era so damn happy Spanish Harlem I used to be 1976-1977

Classic, back when songs had meanings and were from the heart
Blue Lights in the Basement! everytime a slow somg came on, a parent would open the door at the top of the stairs....Never came down, just letting us know, "Don't even think about it"!
Not sure if many remember back then when there was the singing groups and Talent Shows. If you could hold this song down you’re always a Winner!

Pandora just played this for me and brought me to tears. Haven't heard it since back in the day. Back then in NY/NJ it was WWRL, WNJR, and WBLS-FM. They just don't play music like this in Los Angeles in 2016.

wow, you just mentioned some of the best radio stations ever, Franky Crocker, and the gang..WWRL with those soul searchers..OMG! too much! Only in NY !
Oh man, you took it way back. I remember listening to WWRL (on AM radio), and WBLS.
I think Eddie OJ was one of the DJ's on WWRL. And my aunt used to listen to ol' shifty ass Reverend Ike. Ike reminded me of the reverend Richard Pryor played in the movie "Which Way Is Up?"
dadzilla yeah the Rev Ike was straight up pimp daddy, he told u he was taking ur money and he was gonna give u that blessing
