Well me? I was just a little one back in the day. I loved the music and the times and can't believe at 46 what shit is out today. This was music. Pure music. Now we have to deal with filthy rap which disrespects women in every way. Thanks to Don Cornelius for playing these awseome musicians on his show and the artists.
This was the Miracles hit just before their huge "Love Machine" hit. I've always thought this was just as Love Machine and maybe even better, come to think of it. Such a SMOOTH SOUND!
One of the all time underrated rock songs! Thought the lead singer was a chick - omigod. Loved it when I heard if a college frosh back in mid 70's. DO IT BABY!
Can someone tell me what instrument is played at 2:29 and 2:34. It's sorta like a cricket sound or something. It is also played at other parts of the song.
@stinkystubin Thanks for identifying that instrument (vibra slap) for me..I have been wondering for a 'very long time' -what that instrument was called, now I finally know-thanks!
Year(1973) I was a student at Mary Munford Elementary School. I was 5 years old. My babysitters, I believe, had the 8-track tape of this song. I would like to dedicate this song my favorite 1970's model(and very favorite apartment house bikini wrestler(if she is still alive))Rosemary Lorenz(aka Rosemary Saneau/Maria). I hope that you are alive and well . You are my favorite. I love you!!!!!!!!!!!
Billy Griffin was in Smoky's face with his vocals on this song. He really does sound just like Mr. Robinson. Born in 1965 this song was still kind of new when I first heard it and I have always liked it.
LRyder79 do you have another song by the miracles with billiy griffin , doing lead, where the chorus goes don't you luv it luv don't you luv i thinks it's from that same Album as do it baby, it woulg be great if would kindly post.
Pay attention to that constant percussion beat in the background, keeping them on beat.... that became the heartbeat of Disco. This was in fact at the beginning of that transitional period which can def. be classified as Soul and Disco!
If I would've been 23 instead of 3 when this came out,it would've been me with a sexy black chick under a black light shining on a velvet poster with the 12 positions of the afro zodiac signs. Lol.
@ROBBSHAWE A friend of mine couldn't stand seeing both Michael(RIP) and Jermaine with perms back in '74. Later that year,Michael went back to the fro while Jermaine continued to carry on with it 'til late '78/early '79.
LOL teehonky. I used this expression with my boyfriend (also in 1976) but i wasn't talking about doing his laundry (and i'm chinese, afterall ...haha.) Ain't that right DJ Flash??
@chinadoll91709 .. ABSOLUTLY...THE BEST TIMES OF MY LIFE....THE 70'S WERE SO MUCH BETTER,,,,THE MUSIC..THE PEOPLE ..THE LIFESTYLE...EVERYTHING....LOVE YOU CHINADOLL
i used this expression with my girl Shelly ( in the dark ages , 1976) and she looked at me like I was an alien....I think she thought I MEANT my LAUNDRY ( she was chinese, after all)
Sampled by 50 cent Movin on Up and Spice 1 i'm the muthafuckin Murda I love the miracles and this song which was written and produced by another of my favorite musicians Leon Ware.
Absolutely Leon Ware is Mighty good Producer He also produced Minnie Ripertons Inside my love with her husband Richard Rudolph.and Marvin Gaye's I want you album is very good to listen to when your relaxing with your woman or just wanting to relax.
Man, I was a punk when this came out but I remember my sister had this album and used to play this song all the time. It's one of my favorites by The Miracles with Billy Griffin on lead. Excellent upload.
