    I was 13 when this song was released and thought those days would never end. It went by much too quickly. Mostly, I remember feeling hopeful with my whole life ahead of me. It feels like a lifetime ago which it was. I miss so many of the people that were part of my life back then.

    I turned 21 in 1970 and the music from that decade will never be surpassed. Without a doubt, my favorite decade! All things good came to me during the 1970s...returning from jungles of Vietnam, getting out of the army, meeting my future wife, having our three kids, my first new car, first new home for my young family. It just doesn't get much better than that. The American Dream became a reality for us. Don't ever give up the dream.

      You didn't have to "look for it" in 1970. Turn on the radio to your favorite Top 40 station and there it was, as you said "endless."

Even the notes being played on the bass guitar has a melodic shimmer bouncing off the sounds of the other instruments. The background orchestration has a feeling of healing a heart.
    It's not a difficult piece of music. Magic was truly captured in it.

      I do believe we 40plusers lived through the most free and creative times in the history of our country. Creativity and free thought only comes with a free spirit. We lost our rights to think and live how we want; sadly we will lose our ability to create beautiful soulful music.

      Yes! Throughout the 1970s, there was a glimmer of hope at the end of the dark tunnel leftover from the '50s and '60s. No other medium brought the races together as music and disco did in the '70s, something our nation so desperately needs in the darkness of the 2020s.

    Nice job with this extension of a wonderful classic. I’m a dinosaur, older than dirt, LOL, so I’m old enough to remember when this track hit the radio in 1970 (mostly AM in those days!)... and the lead singer for TCOTB - (General Johnson) - had such cool and unique vocal chops on this song. (“Brrrrrrt!”) 😬
    I’ve no doubt that fans of Carolina Beach Music, hearing this version, would be up on their feet in a heartbeat, dancing “The Shag”. Thanks for sharing this, it was fun to listen to it in a different way, while still being taken for a fun little trip down memory lane. 😊
    Side note: I’ve been a full time studio recording/mix engineer/editor for many years now (1979, Yikes!), so I can pick out “dicey” edits very quickly; but you did a GREAT job with this.
    Much respect. 🙏😊
