The Crusaders - Put it where you want it

[eldercurt53]

Ca you a sixteen year old musician getting this record from his mom? It blew me away then and still does!!!

[gatshatsha]

can anybody post SUPERSTUFF on youtube?

[cosazoo]

Bring on the Horns and the Funk

[hdsrvc]

I would like to be able to say that today's music is better than music from 40 years ago - but I can't, because it isn't.To the days when music was played by real musicians ...

[morningman33]

I wore this record out in college.....memories

[kit86ful]

music at its highest form and it brings all f us together

[gatshatsha]

The year was... 1973. The girl who made me listen to this song for the first time is now my wife. No kidding.

[Jaxpapa1]

This one reminds me of being in the service in OHIO, having lots on fun.

Hello Sarge

[MultiMit123]

Wow, takes me back to when we were travelling across Europe in a Beetle, good times!

[kmc56]

Haven't heard this in years - 30 or 40 - thanks.

[marcstarc]

Puts a smile on my face!

[harveydents]

my fav crusaders albu isnt a crusaders album....its THE ART OF TEA....Joe and the boys back up MICHAEL FRANKS and they play their asses off!

[61Slughi]

Great song, but did anybody notice the klunky note around the :26 mark?

[ernstbecker1]

@61Slughi You're right !

I was in Oakland during this time frame. This tune turns back the clock. I doubt if there is anything that compares to this song today. 

[toonuptv]

@ernstbecker1 Ernest!! I'm from Oakland! And I'm the youngest of three brothers. I was in elementary school when this came out, and you're right! NOTHING COMPARES TO THIS SONG TODAY!

[ernstbecker1]

@toonuptv I doubt if either Oaklanders or anyone else could of had better.

[gatshatsha]

@61Slughi. yeah... so funny.

[schmatever]

Its such fun reading all the comments on here. I was around a decade before this amazing era but feel it just the same. I sense this longing from everyone to get right back to it... groove on!!

[pekoe67]

BAD

[wolfmanjude]

I FEEL FUNKY.

Arthurio, I heard this many, many years ago on the radio in my apt in Greenwich Village. I danced around like a crazy person. Then it ended and I never knew the name of it! It wasn't until recently that I found it, thanks to you.

I'll love you forever for it!

I FEEL HIP.

[maik723]

This song reminds me of my boy Curt,,,,, back in the day at Trenton High School. This was his favorite. Whenever I played this for him,,,,, he would start clapping his hands and stomping his feet, like he was in church or something. The rest of us would always crack-up........ Great song,,,,,Great album.

[FairDealDan]

Been looking for this for a long time Thanks

[MrBassSlapp]

OH WOW ! i didn't remember the title, but i remember this was one of the firts guitar-melodies i learned to play while listening to records ... what a memory !

Thx arthurio, Thx Youtube, memories so full of feelings! :)

[allenlevelle]

I remember when I went to their concert, This groove came about when they asked Redd Foxx what should they play, and he told them to just "Put it where you want it", and that's how the song came about. For real. I kid you not.

[bscabs]

I use to drive my 1972 TR6 ragtop downtown to this song!!!!

[Keyboardman88]

@bscabs Had a 1974 TR-6 and did the same thing. Very cool at the time.

[hapzap13]

OH YEA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dennisdread]

Guys,  fellas, people..Mosadi(Woman) is the cut on this lp.

[iShTaRaHiMsA]

This is so lovely!!!! isn't it? You know this song it makes you feel so happy...good. I know that I have mistakes but....I love this song!!!!!

[THEHUNGRYVEGETARIAN]

This is wicked!!! I love when that transition takes place at 2:26 and 4:54. That is so cool, when it happens!

[TheSpliffmon]

saw them in Seattle at the old Paramount Theater in 71' I think. They did this tune and many others to a Sunday afternoon house of two or so hundred people.., while the rest of the world missed a great concert. Still moves me.

[cooliorick]

learning

[johnwoa]

Thank you for the longer, album version! Brings back memories of my fire department days.

[11Jamie11]

I grew up with this song and hadn't heard it in MANY years. Sounds just as great now as it did back then!

[hingabugabo]

Everything was so great on that album. Put it where u want it, mud hole, sweet revival, full moon, that's how i feel etc... even the cover was so great. Thanx for the posting. Oh... those years!

[LangnauH]

yees!!!! one love....:D

[Seattlecarnut]

Awesome music! I love the Crusaders. My other favourites are "Way Back Home" and "I'm so Glad I'm Standing Here Today", featuring Joe Cocker on vocals.

[Metallica94832]

question, what key is this in and does anyone know where i could get bass tabs for this?

[goreri]

It's in the key of C. The bassline is mad easy, you can figure it out.

[MrBmus1]

Great tune!!!! The Average Whie Band did it on an album called "Show Your Hand".

[perfidele]

wONDERFUL...

Can anybody post STOMP AND BUCK DANCE on youtube?

Been looking for it for SO LOOONG...

[2cats0dogs]

I had this album when I was young and newly married. Many years later when we divorced we fought over this album! It's nice to hear this again after all these years. ;)

[ghtaboma]

What a perfect blending of musiscians and instruments!

[BoogeePictures]

my favorite crusaders song since the middle eighties. Thanks to my pop (whatever he's doing right now. hopefully nothing stupid again ;)

ok, i'll leave now, cuz i have to listen to "so far away" with the "breathtaking" sax-tune ;) (still wanna know the technique for this unbelievable long sax tune)

[VidConcepts]

Quintessential Crusaders from back in the day.

[U0ykcuf]

Love it!

[loon9898]

Fantastic Jazz! I just wished that radio stations would still play great music like this piece " Put it Where You Want it"

[manwithhorn]

great as it did then.

[PUERTO2303]
