Hey 4ever - this song is doing it too - song is ok, but video is speeding along like a freight train. Song only lasts l:16. This happened on "only a moment ago" and I left a message on that. Maybe you could look into this please?????
This song just plain rocks...try to listen just to the music in the chorus...a screaming guitar, some strings, brass, its all there and it sounds great today as it did in '74! PF ROCKS!
Okay, this is what makes me so grateful, proud and feeling special to be a person of color in America. Right next to my Motown, Philly Soul, Fusion Jazz, Classical and Country ... I had my Partridge Family. I always knew it was OKAY to love music that is sweet, wholesome, from the heart. I'm really grateful that PF4ever has posted all this music -- takes me back to one of the few truly joyful parts of my childhood. And I'm blown away and happy to see that as a PF fan, I ain't alone!
You are not along at all. They are, in my opinion, great, tuneful, happy and classic 70s songs. Just loving hearing and seeing again after all these years. Well done!!!
Next to the Beatles, the Partridge Family are, for me, serious contenders for best pop act ever. Move over Stevie, Fleetwood, Jethro, MJ, David, Freddie, and all the rest. I kid you not. No other band, next to the fab four, had as many high-quality songs. Maybe Elton and the Stones.
It would have been received just fine. The Partridges may not be Johnny Cash, but maybe that's the point. They would have dug something that wasn't a representation of all that was hard, unsympathetic and ugly in life.
Well, my comment was more of a joke than anything else, the humor being in the contrast between the innocence of the Partridges and the hardened bad-assed evil of Oz.
Nice 'comic tag' from Shirley! You know, I thought I would have known that - being the life long fan I am, but now you have finally explained to me why the Album version & the Series version sounded so different! I used to have this song SCREAMING from my old record player. They don't have string sections like that anymore on pop songs. Great posting! Thanks... p.s. Nice hat Susan - ahhh...
They could have won a medal for this song alone.

Susan Dey got seriously gorgeous in seasons 3 & 4. She filled out more, had a fuller face and sexy bod. She was still cute in these early eps though.

Great song!

Yeah I can hear the influence. Probably inspired Dylan to do Hurricane as well...

Well that song was from 75 I belive and the PF show ran from 70-74.
Wonder if maybe Farrel and Hinderbrand were inspired by "Rave On" by Buddy Holly?

Alway's thought this was their most rocking song on the first song. I know that's a bold statement, but It stands up deserves to be counted.

They're singing "all my problems are so small" to a bunch of prisoners.

Good point, but in real life, Keith would have been traded around the prison for cigarettes.

well, prisoners may not get the sentiment seeing that they are locked away; a somewhat "big" problem.

Did my eyes play tricks on me? Shirley had a hat on and a red suit. Later she is wearing a redish suit.
But that video is one of the best I have seen on the utube.
