[geedus71]

Fantastic. How can you not dance to it?

[timmyh13]

Old mam's happy just to sit and talk....While a young man's out doin' the camel walk....Epic!!!

[19revolver66]

Married 5 times they must have all been young men going out somewhere doing the camel walk. Love this record.

@19revolver66 LOL. Great analysis. I, also, love this song, and most of Ms. Candi's music. Great singer she is indeed.

Thank you for posting this top 10 1969 classic dancer! The "old man" in the song was Candi Staton's blind/aged husband, singer Clarence Carter. Happy Mardi Gras!! ***DAVE♫♫♫♫DJ***

[prettycountrygirl2]

@Multi1628 I was just wondering if indeed Candi was referring to the great singer Clarence Carter, who was probably her husband at the time. Thanks for confirming, or at least, thinking along the same lines as myself. LOL.

[docludi]

Surprising how good this song still is. I bought it blind when it came out and was absolutely delighted.

[pjburkina]

What a tune!

[lovingfatalist]

Great song, but very energetic. That poor old man must have gone to an early grave - but I bet he had a smile on his face :-)

[madisonkai]

@lovingfatalist LOL

[cjjaxxon]

@Multi1628 All I can say is "ain't that something"! LOL.

[SebbaGries]

[laiskapyykki]

This is really healing, for old mans heart :)

[queendamaris]
