[licha818]

best version in my opion

[hwgray]

@licha818 I agree! This is the original. Bobby Marshan does a good cover, but it took him two sides to do it.

[motafirme13ftw]

badass jam rite here

[bighitter805]

For some reason when I hear this song I think of scenes of movies I would play it in. Like an old mafia style movie when the gang of guys are about to whack someone. Or a horror flick and a girl tied up in the house with the killer slowly getting ready to kill her and this song playing loud enough so her screams arent heard or a Chicano gangster film when the homie and his girl are dancing at their backyard wedding and halfway through the song a drive by happens. Idk just my imagination. I shou

[craxy913]

@bighitter805 Watch my cousin Baby Jokes in the TV show "Southland", its a little something like that.

[5871248]

I wonder -did the shop 'burn baby burn" down. That would have been a hot fire. ps I too bought that 45 -- only at "music city" "us white cats"a few miles away. had a harder time getting cool R&B fresh copies.. Sometimes we would have to get on a wait list. Like I did for "Justine" don and dewey version. . I loved your story R&B forever .... ripple

[laughmusicwriter]

When this was first released I worked at a record shop in Watts, California, and when the customers would purchase this I would play the 45RPM while I was wrapping their purchase, invariably, the customers would sing  full voice...the ending "doo doo doo doo" would have them "jammin"...ah, the memories.

[raiderfreak1000]

[BMAN70384]

SOUTHLAND...always good. Looking everywhere for this song!!!

[scifiguy94]

NBC execs get rid of a show like Southland, but yet wonder why the network sucks in ratings. Great show, great song!

[jillhbaudhaan]

@scifiguy94 NBC got rid of this great show b/c of stupid Jay Leno and his need to be on TV 5 days a week...what a craptastic decision, so glad TNT picked it up

[Ryan0nymous]

Loving this, thank you Southland! The best show that nobody knows!

[danecc]

Dvr'd Southland, this song came on. Had to pause the show and look it up on youtube. Great oldie...thanks for sharing!!

[triniredants]

Thanks, Southland for bringing this song to my attention.... Love it!

[ecc444]

Ditto to Southland posts! I've never listened to the oldies before ... but man ... this song just makes you smile and relax!

[Afarmer1006]

I also heard this song on Southland and fell in love.

[notodoloqueesoro]

YAY Southland!



[3rdangmarine]

This reminds me of Nana's House in E.L.A.  Thanks SouthLAnd!

[petitkore]

same here, i heard this while watching Southland, this song took over my mind ...

this is real music, this what music is about...

[BigPoppa898]

Man, now THIS is music...a song where instruments actually get played and are not synthesized.

[Musicball]

I did the same thing. I was familiar with the Bobby Marchan hit remake but not this original. I heard it on Southland and I was thinking it don't sound like Bobby Marchan so I had to look it up. I have to say I like this version even better.

[69brito]

I thank southland for this tune coming back to life

[mijoe1029]
