My Dad played in a great band here in Lehigh Valley Pennsilvania. His name was George Robbins. He played with great names like Jay and the Techniques, and a few others here in the Lehigh valley. He passed on now, but i'm quite cirtain he's up there jamming for Jesus, along side all the greats that I just named. So once again, thanks for paving the way for musicians such as myself today. I hope everything works out for me, like it did you, and your great carrer, knock on wood lol!! Thanks.
stax was the house that carla thomas build those are the memphis horns behind all of the stax hits.white soul brothers and white brothers in the rythm section
I have always though Ammi stewardrecorded it first and after that Davide Bowie covered it.But as I now see clear the whole thing was absolute different.
I don't watch the video .. I listen to the music and just read what some of the creeps below write to respond to probably some alien voices pounding in their brain. Who are the parents of these creeps? They must have been on dope at the time of conception.
@tkeitez66 Yeah really. Take Sammy Hagar he says he was abducted by aliens but he didn`t say if they did a butt probe on him. When they listened to his past work with Van Hagar they declared him a pansy milk drinker and sent him back. Shame they didn`t keep him. He`s been drinking too much of that Takillya he makes.
Oh my gawd. Thank you for allowing me to see the original clip. I love original artists. Original artists rock. There I was a 70's babe thinking Amii Stewart was the original artist. Thank you.
Ohhh my gawd! What an awesome opportunity to see this clip. The original! There I was, an 70's babe thinking Amii Stewart was the original. That you. I am so for original artists. Covernotes are good. However I feel that when I discover an original, I have found a precious stone.
Great old video. It was a great, great time for music and fun, and I'm still enjoying it. And I would take this video and dancing over the, for lack of a better word, stuff that is called ?music? today.
i work at a movie theater, and i was walking through a movie theater, i noticed some stupid movie called "Easy A" made a bastardisation of this song...it made me really really angry.
This song is such a great memory! I lipsynched and danced to this song at a talentshow at my school when I was 13 years old. And I won too. Ohhh.....that was a really long time ago. I'm not that young anymore.
Wow Paul Revere intro on the weekly tv show (where the action is) I Had a 1955 Ford Crown Vic with a 303 Olds with 2 4bbl carbs and hung out at the world in miami beach back then.. Saw Eddie Floyd there in 67....
When first this song I was a small boy. One of my beothers was in the army, and about the time he was due to get out, he was considering re-enlisting and going to Viet Nam. My parents leaned hard on him, and pulled whatever strings necessary to keep him from going. This song was played over and over all night at his homecoming party. Now, as a grown man the reason is abundantly obvious to me to say the least...
@dingane19 Thank you @dingane19 for giving me the opportunity to seeing the original song. Like I said only a few minutes ago in my post. I always thought that Amii Stewart was the original artist. I should have known better. The best disco songs are cover notes from 50's and 60's. I am a 70's babe. I love the 70's, 60's 50's and 40's.
i think this was from the show, "where the action is" in the mid 1960s. the 2 guys in the beginning of this clip were members of the band, paul revere and the raiders
I remeber playing this on drums in school, fuckin epic.
