    I'm a white boy and heard this for the first time about 4 years ago. Me and my pop were drinking beers and he played this jam. My dad is an ole school G who didn't see color in the 60s and he has introduced me to some amazing music! I love this jam!

    I'm still listening 🎧 to this Betty Wright Classic in October 2024, I'm now 78 years young and still listening to these tunes and I don't think I'll ever stop listening to the good Music 🎶 of the old era that I grew up listening to.

    Imagine a drink in your hand, afro fully blown in your dashiki....It's 1970 something and your friend convinced you to go to this Betty Wright concert in the park....And there's a literal stadium full of beautiful black women screaming and vibing out singing along to this masterpiece being performed live....Forever etched into the fabic of our culture. Man as a 80s baby who was born in 80 and got to peek over the fence back into the 70s....Ibcan honest say 70s was one of the best decades.

    Being at the cookout when you’re a child, singing this song like you know what it’s talking about, and Grandma yells “sitcha lil ass down somewhere heffa, you ain’t grown.” Now I can relate to this song...I’m grown now grandma. Lol. Growing up Black! I love us, for real.

    I’m from the UK 🇬🇧 and my mum took a trip to New York years ago, she came back with a CD she brought on the street and this song was on it. For the next few months we listened to it on repeat when she dropped me to school.
    Today I saw on social media that she’d died, so I searched up her name. this was the first of her songs that came up and I knew all the words. I finally know the singer of this song!
    RIP🤍

Now eveytime I hear it I gotta take a minute and pull myself together and its my daughter whose looking at me like I'm crazy(but shes 3 so I got some time lol)

    This song and woman makes me think back to childhood on Saturday mornings. My mom and dad had all four of us kids up bright and early cleaning... she would sit back and sing, while we were cleaning our behinds off -and mad that dad bought that nasty puff wheat cereal lol hahaha. To all of you that have children, make memories while your babies are young , and all the way into their adult lives... when we leave this life, your children will keep your spirit alive by sharing memories with others. God I'm so thankful that I grew up in the 90's, into a family that gave love, always laughter and jokes, and kept it real with each other.... anyway Good night yall #sorrynotsorryfortakingupthespacetoshareamemory

    My mom would blast this on Saturday morning and i would sing along not knowing the meaning until my late teens...'What if my mom was to come home and catch us doing what we doing, not only will I never live it down but my whole family relationship...it'll all be ruin!!! " I felt that line to my core because it rang so true for me!!!
