This song is the BIDNESS!!! Images of the Soul Train Gang workin it out to this.

[Babacgms]

I used the lyrics to this song to bring together a workshop comprised of different cultures. The youngnz got off on it! Really brought the workshop together.

Unfortunately I misplaced the lyrics. Would appreciate it if anyone could help me out in that dept.

[not2shy2say]

when this song came out The Crips were strong and holding it down in the hood in South L.A. the early 70's. Black pride was strong back then. But the Crips too it to another stage and then went thing started to look pretty fuck up for there.

[Kell1295]

Solid!

[hughesjr]

I remember Soul Train wearing this song out.

[THR336TALIA]

[Slo912]

damoola..you know comments like MUN7001 should be banned for making idiotic comments and wonder why this world is the way it is. What a shame!

[MUN7001]

man shutup, opinion is opinion, you dont have to believe it

[MUN7001]

i wonder , if funk musicians were allowedto turn up their guitars, or if white people told them they couldnt play rock so they had to turn down their guitars, cause i know white people are retarded like that

[ESSENCEOFEACHTHING]

Yeah! Making up petty rules as though go along.

[MUN7001]

just a thought eh, i notice alot of funk records have some serious guitar solos lol, just the other day i was watching ernie isley on youtube, drop a nasty solo, but his amp was sabatoged lol

[ESSENCEOFEACHTHING]

I want to see the clip Of Ernie Isley! Do you remember the song! Ronald Isley was taught by Jimmy Hendrix.

[thinkbck]

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You damoolah for sharing this! Greatly appreciated! Thanks for sharing....

damoolah, do you have that cut "1993" by them? I think it's on the same album but not sure. Would love to hear it, again, especially because of the lyrics, being that it's 2008, almost 2009, now.

[versayes555]

Great soul music in 1972 i heard in Lima Perú in the radio,I had 45 r.p.m. label A.M.Peruvian edition.

[joni2691]

I remember hearing this song from a movie called

"Johnny Tough" back around '73. The dramatic ending of the movie stood in mind as well.

[sangoor22]

[ioxxd90]

Man I had this 45 and "it's all in your mind".......

[TheGreatMozeek]

Was Chuck Brown in this group in '72?

[djustthink]

[bmwstan]

@TheGreatMozeek Chuck is the founder of this group and that is his voice you're listening too.

[feeleffect1]

I have been looking for this album for over 30 years.1993 was another one of my favorites
