If I had a theme song when I walked into a room this would it would be. Love it

[hanseatus]

Greatest time greatest music ,awesome tune , like this stuff- kind of happy gooddess

[Jgeneraledger23]

WHY would somebody ruin this good video with all that f*ckin GOOK writing

[messysnacks]

@Jgeneraledger23 how could someone comment with such a fuckheaded ignorant comment that expresses such a fuckin low intelligence as to be happy to wear it on his sleeve?

[Jgeneraledger23]

@messysnacks 1973 was a Blessed year. Plus, you don't understand any of that writing either, you fucktard (and don't pretend you do)

[acidbubblebath76]

God I love this song. Heartfelt, timeless.

[ekocentric]

Ahhhh. I remember the old days. Getting to see the Watts towers on the way to old David Starr Jordan High school. Most days we got to actually get to stop and look at the towers as we went past without being chased..

[dvdlps22]

i know that this CA but this was the same thing NYC at the same time during 1972/1973

[ugotstobkidn]

Whe "Ike" came on, Jesse Jackson sloowly eased a hat off his (Ike's ) head, with the "theme from Shaft" jammin in the background. The crowd went wild

[shannonD68]

I was 5 years old at the time and living in Compton. I moved to Watts several years later. It still looks the same.

Depressing

[littlewop40]

30 YEARS LATER THE PLACE IS STILL A DUMP

[SuperSoulSeeker]

LOL No Kidding.

[Dontae1979]

Go down there and say that in front of a lot of people who live there if you have the balls to do so.

[ThaKnoccOut]

it helped fuel the civil rights movment though, at least there isn't as much racism as there used to be

[michaelhendersonbass]

[ResearchMachine]

Badass

Looking for an incredible remix of this treasure, anyone know about it? Heard it on v103 in chicago.

[ezywonder]

One of THE best songs ever recorded. Heard an incredible remix on v103 in chicago. Have been trying to find it all over. Lots of horns, incredible.

[steadfastcoward]

A lot of good soul archives seem to come from Japan. Same for some ABBA. Japanese and Koreans have pop and soul just swimming around on TV orm something.

Now, why be set just to watch stuff that will likely split in the near future when there's probably a DVD set of the PBS recently aired Great Perfomances documentary about STAX available through the PBS site and WATTSTAX may be available as well (Atlantic bought the archives IIRC, Columbia may have the film or maybe Warners now).

[nelaloco]

AWESOME...i remember the RTD buses..from back in the day...What's up with the subtitles? good cut peace!

[scoutie101]

one of the great title sequences ever!

[EmilyPlay]

fuckin' cool!

[lahgo82]

one of the great soul movies & one of the premiere soul bands and there signature tune!!
