    You have just experienced REAL R&B! This song came out in 1977 and yes, during the famous skating rink days. They sure don't make songs like this anymore.

    So smooth, so clean, so pure and right to the point. Laid his cards on the table and told her how he felt deep in his heart. No other words were needed.

    This was the 1970’s love song that you got the girl of your dreams on the dance floor for the the last dance of the night and many a family was started listening to this song and absolute beauty from 1977. I’m now 66 and still listen to these fantastic 1970’s classics.

    First time watching you I just had to see your reaction to the floaters singing one of my favorite songs I remember back in the day I was doing just that off of that song (baby making music) I'm glad you liked it, you are so funny 😂

    Beautiful song from the 70's....a time when men groomed their long hair or Afros and then came punk and everyone spat at each other...but bands and songs like this lasted till the 80's till the dawn of the teeny boy band and the stampede of hip hop took over and things have never been the same since. 🎶🇬🇧🇺🇸🎶

  • @manuginobilisbaldspot424
    @manuginobilisbaldspot424 5 лет назад +7

    This song will be a bop another 45 years from now. Just a great great record. This is an awesome idea, even if I'm familiar with a lot of the content. You bring me back to a lot of songs I grew up hearing my parents and older relatives listen to at get togethers and parties.

    @ujimajame4601 4 года назад +3

    Your assessment of this song and comments at the end were spot on, especially about how someone would sing this song today! Their moves were smooth and classy, very reminiscent of Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes - the group that launched Teddy Pendergrass, who you should check out doing "I Miss You", "Hope That We Can Be Together Soon", "Bad Luck" and "The Love I Lost." (They also did the original version of "Wake Up Everybody.")

    I'm so glad there was a video for this! There's a long version too, about 12:00. "Cancer...and my name is Larry.." Cheech and Chong did a parody of this song called "Bloat On" that's worth a listen :D
