[sosexysocoolsobeast]

does not sound like white people...HOOTTT

[zman19806]

I was born in 1980, but I grew up listening to music like this, Its too bad they dont make music like this anymore.

[joannsdaughter]

Now this is the shit right here!

[darnettepaskett1]

Another favorite, I listen to this every day!!!.

[tmmmviii]

What a performance.

[jefftri]

The thing I most like about this tune is the groove from the start. Then the tasteful chords/vocal and nice sax solo are icing on the cake of this masterpiece.

[50honeybaby]

THIS IS THE BEST OF THE AWB MY BOYS FO LIFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I'm only 23 Years Old and I remember my mother playing this song when i was growing up and I'll never forget it. SIMPLY A CLASSIC!!!!

[MsTanya314]

You are never too far behind- A love of your own! I sang this to my Son my entire pregnancy- 35 years ago- He truly was/is "The Love of my own".

[ebonychera]

one of the best i ever heard

[joliet1986]

hell yes...

[themountainzg]

This goes so stupid hard

[joliet1986]

I love this old school music a band getting down great lyrics no computer bullshit that what up

[SistaNoTomsAllowed]

Much respect for posting this is so far my fav by AWB.

I take the lyrics to heart! Thats the magic of Old School

music...it's filled w/ perils about love & life. Kids today

do not have any great/classic singers like the Old School.

Back when talent was raw & no "auto-tunes".

Yeah I went there!

[freidagrayson]

@SistaNoTomsAllowed iam on your side

[SistaNoTomsAllowed]

@freidagrayson Thx hon. I just feel it sometimes.

OLD SCHOOL IS THE RIGHT SCHOOL!

[colaman153]

This is some old "slow drag" music. If you're from the south, you know what I'm talking about. One of the baddest bands during 70's, and could hold their own against anybody.

[clarkkent51]

The real deal!

[MsValleen]

Great song to chill too!

[catwhisperer310]

OG music! True feelings expressed thru sound...

[StrictlyBG]

@catwhisperer310 yeah man that's O.G. Music !

Thanks for the upload man

[ALGERIABASSLINE]

PERFECT WORK.REAL DRUG TO LISTEN

[1234foolinlove]

It's nice when you have a love of your own, and you know and can feel it.

[Mannchild11]

They are so bad ass.

[thesmartypants91]

THIS IS MY JAM MUSIC TODAY IS SO GARBAGE

[thespotteddog]

Soul Searching is one of the best albums ever made. Mostly forgotten, unfortunately. Not a bad track on the plate.

[hooperqi]

This is one bad jam!

[doc2skate]

Can you imagine Average White Band, Tower of Power, Kool & the Gang, Ohio Players, EWF, Chicago and the Isleys every summer? Wasn't being a teenager or young man during the 70's a great time? $15.00- $20.00 concerts (3 or 4 acts) and albums were $3.99 or 3 for $10.00. Saw over 100 concerts in a five year period. And actual musicians who played actual instruments. Sorry, got kinda carried away there. I'm sure there are still performers who play instruments today.

[JwahAmore31]

@doc2skate There are still a few impressive acts, but YES, you my friend, witnessed the very BEST!!!!! Cheers to you! - J

[icvdaniel]

@doc2skate There are some in my town here in the South. I met both of them. They're really nice guys.

[YemaLove]

@doc2skate Show You Right !

[SistaNoTomsAllowed]

@doc2skate Thank you. I found your comment to be very savory & accurate.

Which not likely on yt. You have great musical taste I have to add.

[freidagrayson]

@doc2skate heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[PantherBlu427]

@doc2skate Damn sure can.I saw Bos Skagg He played the music just like he sold it.I saw AWB and War,they were even better live.There was only one original member of war,the guy who started War,but they rocked.

[doc2skate]

@PantherBlu427 Check for lineup of WAR. Guessing that it's Lonnie Jordan as the remaining member. Am I right?

[lowriderbandfan]

@PantherBlu427, Lonnie Jordan didn't start the band WAR, Howard Scott and Harold Brown are the originators of WAR. They and two other original WAR artists, BB Dickerson and Lee Oskar are called THE LOWRIDER BAND because they are forbidden by court order and the thief of the WAR name, to use the WAR name that THEY made famous. The original artists of WAR are the reason the WAR name is famous, NOT the other way around. Learn the truth and give those WAR propers to who they rightfully belong to.

[rochellemitchell1]

@doc2skate That truly would be an concert of all concerts !!!

[StrictlyBG]

Sad song but nice.

[dogcat126]

i am 63 and have been listening to them for many years too. they are soso good! thanks for posting this song! what a soulful group they are. thanks again!!!!

[EutoTrash60]

Love this f'n song after almost 35 years, I was a hot 16 y/o when this hit the airwaves. Great memories!! Don't be afraid to shoot the moon!! ;)

[cheyney79]

The most soulful white band outside of Tower of Power. Rhythm and Blues is one thing...SOUL! soul music plain and simple.
