The Flaming Ember - Mind Body And Soul - [STEREO]

[zoomer1956]

Wow, haven't heard this song since someone ripped off this single from my house in 1975 (or around that time) Can't believe I still remember most of the words. A clasique is a clasique.......

[firefieldmpt]

We were so lucky to have grown up in this era 60s and 70s I am stuck here and love the memories GREAT SONG BG

[MrSgtSniper]

Great song my senior year in High school. The words seem to flow with the time and moment, later that year I was drafted and sent to Vietnam. My girlfriend dropped me off at induction center and another song was playing,"leaving on a jet plane" So many emotionaly charged songs back then. The songs really take me back.

[subvet972]

@MrSgtSniper I am of the same age and all these songs bring back the memories of a time when we were going off to serve and we had girlfriends back home and hoped they would wait for us.

[firefieldmpt]

Give it all baby! COOL..

[MrGreekdealer]

One of my favorite motown hits.

[richrathga]

I had this on a 45, used to drive my older sister nuts overplaying it! Was just killing my brain trying to remember the band name. Kept thinking "Burning Ember" instead of "Flaming." What year was this song? '69? '70?

[GypsyMichaels1957]

OMG!!!

[thewillismon]

The beginning of this song has always reminded me of "Celebrate" by Three Dog Night. Similar keyboard riff, cold start with no intro, same era too......

[charliedontsurf70]

[UnseenCaller]

[321pattyann]

the keyboard player is my Uncle Bill Ellis who now lives in Tennessee. They were a great band and I was only 10 years old when they were famous. I was so proud too tell all my friends the keyboard player was my Uncle. He even signed an autograph too me too prove too my friends he was my uncle.

[tyoonz]

@321pattyann Please tell your uncle a very heartfelt "Thank you!" for sharing his talents and giving us such wonderful music as this. It has held up beautifully!

[francie18]

This is a perfect record!

[radiovegan]

This song should have been a top 5 hit. Should still be played on oldies stations. what an early 70s typical sound this great song evokes!

[MFM412]

Great song..thanks for posting

[dandman1575]

Thanks MusicMike for posting this wonderful rare gem. Luv it, and very grateful for people like you sharing these great forgotten songs.

[hanusjj]

These guys nailed it!! The singer is great and the rest of the band is tight.

[brianfromLI]

I love this song so much, I could hear it over and over again for the rest of eternity and never get tired of it. I can't believe it wasn't a bigger hit than it was. The lyrics, and how it builds up at the end, underscores the beautiful message being sent. I'm so glad to see that someone else recently appreciated this song enough to post it. Thank you!

[charlie8575]

I don't think I've heard of these guys before. Nice sound to them. Off exploring for recordings I go...

[juliuscronk]

@charlie8575 .....these guys were great...you should listen to " i'm not my brothers keeper" , "shades of green" , and "sunshine" by them ...very nice...enjoy

[tropicalpancake56]

Perfection as always...
