  • Now that's a hit! Great song.

  • she hasn't changed after all these years

  • Feathers!

  • She's wonderful.

  • 1976 WAS THE BEST SUMMER EVER, BUT IN THE NORTH WE HAD SNOW IN EARLY JUNE. BUT DIDN'T THE SUN MAKE UP FOR IT!!!!

  • The reason I'm alive is the hot summer of '76 ! (Thanks Mum & Dad !)

  • yes long hot summer of 76 on the west ken estate,superb times

  • the golden ages i would say

  • i love it sing Candi

  • Hearing Candi sing the words "young hearts" just pierces my heart.

  • classic

  • A dance classic!! Love it !!

  • Young Heart, Run free never be hung up, hung up like my bills and me...

  • Comment removed

  • classic!!!!! old school

  • is that Jamerson on bass. listen closely? Nice playing. lovely song. Go Candi!!!

  • Candi sang with such soul and such conviction! This was the classic "angry black woman stand strong" come back song! Always thought this classic was a little underrated and should have been a much, much bigger hit...It told quite a good story...Unlike today's "rap crap / Ga Ga" sounding garbage.

  • Candi was and still is gorgeous and can sing beautifully!!

  • Heard this song today for the first time in ages. Takes me back..just entering high school.

  • Summer of 1976 was beautiful and this record captured the essence of that time period.

    

  • scamps loves this one......:-)

  • Did anyone in Britain have good memories of the summer of 76? I expect you did. It would be nice to do it again.

  • OMG. I always thought this was a happy song, but after really listening to the lyrics, I feel bad for her.

  • Damn she was beautiful, for some reason, I never seen her before. The idea I had in my head is nothing that I see.

  • This song was on my mind today.Take heed young hearts run free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • GTA 4 bought me here

  • Was working away in my shed today when this song came on the radio. I almost burst into tears! So beautiful, both the words and that voice. And so long since I heard it last, but still I recognized it instantly! Disco became "not cool" in the late 70's, for reasons that I've never fully understood (other than that punk was in), as disco to me meant great songs like this. Still, being a youngster I followed the crowd of course. I'm not saying that punk was bad, I'm saying some disco was good.

  • love the feather halter!

  • momma used to play the hell out of this song REST IN PEACE LIZ HALL WE COULDN'T HAVE HAD A BETTER MOM OR MY DAD A BETTER WIFE. now everybody lets dance and let hey young heart run free. uc

  • this song remind of my brother (1962-2008) , 8 years younger than me .At this age of 18 , he goes to a dance hall with his girl friend , Carine , my wife and i were invited too

    i saw the two of them dancing on this beautiful song .Never forget that feeling i had that day .Later they broke up but allways this song remember me of that moment
