Yous know well, that a lot of your vida loca enterprise does the same job on real Mexicans that cartoons, sports emblems, and movies about Native American Indians. "When I grow up, I want to be compared to a RedSkins sports emblem, the real one where skins of massacred Indians were sold as souvenirs on the East Coast, still red from the blood. There is a lot of blood in the dope sold and used in California, but who cares, since the toys like cars, easy women, and tax free money are easy. Joe
Yeah, but the cars you all glorify came from Detroit. Much of the Xitlco (Chicano) fads from Califas, and western places, are about their culture, not the entire group who claims their roots from Mexitlco (Oops, sorry) Mexico. Chicano includes all Mexicans and their descendants including what most Californios refere to as t.j.s (illegals/new immigrants). Music and culture belongs to whoever wants to follow. What about customizing school books or real songs from out West? Get Real Chicago
Her voice sounds like pure syrup,now that's what you call singing,Groups back then just knew how to tell that person I love you without calling them niggas and bitches,miss that era.Is there a time machine available to take me back.

This is a bad ass Oldie But Goodie. Thanks for posting.
ese OG BadBoy HUB city Compton Varrio Largo 36 , South-Sider all day
regardless of who made sang song etc, Us Chicanos love and support these artists every day. Check out the new soul artist Mayer Hawthorne, he is a white artist and bad ass
whats with your problem i have the lovelites "got to get him off my conscience" and we live in the UK, bought it years ago and it still sounds great, what ya problem? We dont care how,where or what as long as its good music, keep on keepin on!!!
I'm all for racial pride (just not at the expense of another) but isn't it time we conclude that music transcends all of that. Good music is good music no matter the style or the color of the skin of the person who makes it. Come on people. This is the ONE place I would think we could all coexist without demeaning each other.
ohmygosh music is music && if you people are too ignorant to appreciate it NO MATTER WHAT ETHNIC GROUP CREATED IT then heres a simple solution: you see that [x] in the right corner of this page.? click it && walk away. like seriously. im only 17 && all this black-chicano going back && forth is nauseating. get over it.
The birth parents who abandoned the child or whom parents the child?
Undisciplined children become destructive; destructive children become of diseased spirituality: Who has the Trust of disciplining their children?
The parent or the teacher?
Next time you visit your parents home: Go look at home ribbons; medals, etc they have for being parents: If your not sure; go look in the mirror then tell me what you see & tell who you are.
Abandoned? This music is over 40 years old. Black music is constantly changing, bad or good, it changes. It was not abandoned, new music replaced it. Like bop replaced swing. Music is an expression of a peoples culture and experiences. Jazz, blues, soul/r&b, funk, gospel, rap have all expressed the Black cultural experience. Because others enjoyed it or "embraced" does not make it any less Black. .
@vistavision2 Black culture is a "running brooke". Everybody watches to see what is next in Black music and dance and then they "embrace" it. Like it or not this music is and was all about the Black experience in USA. Chicano, Japanese, Italian, German, etc., cultural experiences had nothing to do with it. It was Black folk expressing themselves and others happened to like what they heard.
@vistavision2 The creators of soul/r&b, were American Black people, and the creators of your beloved gangster rap were BLACK also. It is Black American music. It was Black people who introduced this style of singing to the world and the African roots in it run deep. American music is Black music. As I said everybody contributed to American culture, Blacks contributed the music this country is known for. A fact you can't dance around even while doing those popular dances introduced by Blacks.
@KhemuLuxons When I dance you'l know it: If that is what it is you & I can dance in the moonlight pick a song.
Should I cut the rug make sure on the same side that I am of the fault line; If not behind me, at least beside me.
In my world everyone has a mission; Need to double up on the same mission; there is enough dance floor for everyone to party like back in the day of House Party's.
@Carameldevine define our music just because there blak its your music listen to what your saying and get more educated about your music race aint got nuthin to do with it .
@Carameldevine Do you feel the same way of black wannabe gangster rap that call the ladies "bitches & hoes"?
Is this your culture of denigrating your own mothers, sisters, cousins, daughters, nieces?; That is stuck on stupid.
Culture cannot be owned nor possessed: Culture are individual, familial, community, & national habits that are embraced from one generation to the next: Sometimes they are good and sometimes not.
This is USA: E pluribus unum "One culture from many"
@theaznlvr what is a latino anyway, an Italian or Roman? the original Latins are from Italia & Sicilia they created Latin. & French is a Latin based language as it modern Italian,Spanish etc. so why are French & Italians not labeled latinos?
@Carameldevine ... that keeps this music relevant! In some cases puts money in these artist pockets. I remember seeing Brenton Wood performed in a high school auditorium in a predominate Mexican neighborhood! Imagine the pay on that gig? Now thanks to radio stations that appeals to Chicanos, he plays in concert again.
@Carameldevine I just finished listening to some idiot on YouTube talking about how Mexicans hate the U.S. and now I have to read comments about how this music, beautiful music by the way, should not be labeled Chicano oldies! You should go and share your opinions on videos that literally stole from "your" music. I am speaking about the blues and other genres alike! This is simply a marketing scheme that gives our culture a moment to look back and appreciate our past. It a marketing scheme to...
i just say thanks for the post. i would guess the op is hispanic. all my young brothers don't really have a respect for the oldies-unless they are sampling the beat. & as for samples, they are sampling the same songs over & over again. well, i can appreciate the fact that the hispanic community dig the oldies. atleast somebody is posting the songs and showing much love and respect for the music and the artists. big ups! i don't understand all the anger. we know who's singing on the record.
@Carameldevine What does it matter the race 0f the person who madee music like thiss? if it was labeled "Chicano" 0r whatever its 0bviously kus the majority 0f the people who listened to it & supported it where Chicanos maybe U should speak to your Race & ask them to listen to it so it will be labeled whatever your culture is Princess , God people these days!
Fuckenn Enjoy it,its beautiful were not going to get anything like this for a while!
this is sooo my song...I'm in love with the guy next door...oh yes I am..I want everybody to know..that I love him so..oh yes I do..it aint no use on me lying...Im in love..so much in love.
What about those latinos that contributed to oldies like Ralphie Pagan oldies soul mowtown whatever u call it we were a part of it too and how many AA do u see or hear listening to this music?
PLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT something bad will happen. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS.THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS THIS ACTUALLY WORKS
@Carameldevine the same as lowriding, Black Folk had nothing with it's upcoming.. However all of there early videos. all you seen was lowriders.. so who is knocking on who's door.. So do your HOMEWORK.. who the hell are you anyways. just a hater. probally in your 20's.. color don"t mean a thing when you are from the hood..
Instead of thinking of this music as great Everyone is stuck on color...The mexican has had his hand in it and never been recognized...we too had to be whitewashed. That sucks!
To Me this is heard in the Streets. WallStreet does not see that popularity that's why these artists are being LOST in the shuffle.
When I hear it I"m taken back to Whittier/Atlantic Blvd. Cruising with my friends, having a pisto Felt Like Heaven
CRUISING /hearing beautiful music like being on vacation
@luvureally Well come on my ppls... with nothing but crap on todays radio we need someone to bang this real music for following generations to wanna write & record like this. So, if chicanos wanna ride to THIS... then I say get ur jumper cables when their amps drain their car batteries so they can keep ridin & advertising that SOUL.
@poetyk Love it, sing it, play it all day, that is great! But do not call it Chicano music! It is still soul music, a genre created by Black Americans. Today white people make up the majority audience for jazz & blues, but the music is still known as jazz & blues.
One of my all-time favorite songs. You can clearly hear the pain in the great Patti Hamilton's voice, such a wonderful reading of some great lyrics. Sweet, sexy and soulful. Gee, this is so great.
Every time I hear this song it reminds me of when I first met my boyfriend. He lived next door 2. I was listening 2 it when I saw him 4 the first time......He's the 1..Love this beautiful song.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ok and on another note. this was my wedding song. doesnt matter what you want to call it,. they are oldies. get over it!! there were ALOT of chicano acts that sang oldies as well as black ones. who gives a rats ass! its universal. so everyone stop claiming it and sit back and listen and enjoy!
The fact IS that they are not Chicanos and are not performing Chicano music. Since people of various ethnic backgrounds do lowride, why not market it as lowrider oldies? Why the Chicano label. Lowrider is not an ethnicity, Chicano is.
@KhemuLuxons The word "lowrider" originates from being called "lowlifes" by then white racists which was flipped into the word & lifestyle of Lowriding
The word "HomeBoy" orginates from the daily mantra at dusk by cops of "Get home boy before I beat your ass" of unlawful but de facto dusk to dawn curfew in the Varrios as segregation did exist
Varrio is defined by Homie Love & a Ghetto by haters. Homie life style: Chicano creation; however its now global culture like hip hop & belly dancing
@vistavision2 Homeboy has been in use in the Black community since the 1890s. Homeboy or homefolks was a term used by Blacks when referring to those that migrated from the same southern state or town. The term is found in literature from the Harlem Renaissance. Like most Black American culture it started in the east. Didn't Chicanos originally refer to their rides as ranflas? Ranflas are a Chicano creation, it was Blacks who started calling them lowriders.
To premise that the word "Homefolks" is synonymous with the word of "Homie" or "Homeboy" is comparative to premising that the phrase "American Indian" is synonymous with the word "Indian [Hindu]".
Word "Homefolks" meaning is closer to the word "paisan/nieghborhood" but not from the [neigbor]hood of modernity.
Word "boy" was used a derogative word by then [white] man, e.g governing elite, vis-a-vis Native Americans, blacks, Irish, Italians, Puerto Ricans, Chicano's, etc,
@vistavision2 Until the 1920s homefolks and homeboy were interchangeable in the Black community. Homeboy was the preferred term of Harlem jazz musicians so it prevailed. Harlem jazz musicians had a huge cultural impact on USA, their clothes (zoot suits, originally called drapes), their slang, walk and most importantly their music. Non-musicians wanted to be like them and adopt their style. This style spread nationwide. Having S.C. and N.C. roots I know boy was used by whites to belittle.
@KhemuLuxons Everyone these days uses the word "homie: or "Homeboy" with that meaning; However, its universal embrace is not from blacks but from the California Chicano gangsters.
1970: 200 million USA population
170 million whites/ 8.73 foreign born
13 million blacks
2 million Other than white or black- Native Americans, Puerto Ricans, Chicanos, Asians, etc / 500K foreign born
Impact of blacks vis-a-vis Chicano within context of # pop: Chicano influence greater exponentially
@vistavision2 Its all good: What matters is that we like the same music.
Yes, black soul music was adopted by Chicano's: Music is nice.
Martin Luther King & Thurgood Marshall; & all other folk, black & white, that participated in forcing the elitists into passing the 1964 Civil Rights Act benefited Chicanos; legal & illegal immigrants to this day.
On behalf of All Brown Pride: I thank you. You can accept it on behalf of all Black Pride- One American to another.
@vistavision2 Every group has contributed to what is known as American culture. Too many times those who have been marginalized have been denied credit. Until recently I did not know of the important role Filipinos played in the farm workers rights movement. All contributions should be recognized.
@vistavision2 Homeboy started with Black migrants from the south. Blacks created R&R but Elvis became the face of it, same thing. Black culture has had a huge impact on American popular culture from day one. It is Black music that is the music of USA, be it blues, jazz, soul/r&b, funk, rap, gospel, ragtime, rock&roll, rap. Black music put USA on musical map. Black culture has had much greater impact on USA pop culture than Chicano by far.
Thats called doing "A Mary" : Some tells her" The people don' have enough to eat" She says "Let them eat cake"
The French Queen could not grasp the context that their was not enough flour to make bread so how they have the luxury of "cake". Go read what happened Mary Antoinette.
If you get it twisted: its "wet or wetter"; Don Key? nah, I'll take the monkey. Who is the ASS? I'm the "All Sky Surveyor"
@vistavision2 The majority of popular dances came from Blacks: Charleston, blackbottom, swing, jitterbug, cakewalk, dances from 50s, 60s, 70s up to hip hop dance, started in Black community. American slang, dress styles, even way of walking have been hugely influenced by Black culture. American concept of cool and hip came from jazz musicians. Zoot suits popularized by Harlem jazz musicians in the 30s, originally called drapes.
@KhemuLuxons As a CHICANA i can say we tend to label our preference in oldies as CHICANO oldies do to the large variety of oldies not that we are insinuating that they are oldies sang by CHICANOS even though there are plenty... But based on the fact that as CHICANOS/CHICANAS are refering to these types of soul filled oldies more specificly as opposed to the beatles or sum other style of what is also considered an oldie!!!!
@clydesbonnie18 Soul/r&b oldies, pop oldies, rock oldies would suffice. Chicano should be reserved for music actually created by Chicanos. Whatever the meaning behind it the label implies it is music created by that group.
Listening to, playing, purchasing the music of another culture does not give anyone the right to attach their ethnic name to that music. As luvureally said it is still and forever Black music. If you did not create it, your name should not be anywhere on it. The Lovelites were not Chicano & did not perform Chicano music, therefore not a Chicano oldie.
In regards to your deleted comment, no I am not jealous of folks who speak Spanish. You speak 2 European languages, I only speak one. Whoopee for you. It doesn't matter who listens to this music, it is still Black music. Calling this "Chicano" music is attributing it to that group. You wouldn't be too happy if Blacks uploaded classic tejano & ranchera songs and labeled them Black or African American oldies. We don't even call our own music that.
What album cover? Flakeboy I did not say anything about you speaking Spanish. It is irrelevant to me what language you speak. Body parts? You're a cannibal? Cannibalism is your attempt to compensate for your melanin deficiency? 60 million of us in North America, but millions more in the Caribbean & S. America. Lack of morals? This coming from folks who brag about their great-great-grandfathers gang status. "Your" people have also copied hip hop, rap - aka, Chicano rap.
Everywhere the European has gone the Native populations have experienced self loathing. There are Asians who have their eyes surgically altered to appear more European. In African, Asian & Latino communities many people prefer lighter skin, Euro features. I didn't say we had a monopoly on suffering, I know our history and the horrors involved. These experiences, good & bad, created out music. It tells our story, so attaching another name to it is like wiping out our history.
It is not bull crap. Whether music, literature, art, food, etc., only the ethnicity of creators should be attached to it - Indian food, Afro-Cuban music, Chicano literature, etc., Our music deserves that respect also. Just because the world has embraced it does not mean it is no longer Black music. I am proud of the wonderful artist my culture has produced, but find it very offensive when someone else attaches their name to it.
In your infinite "wisdom" you are able to generalize an entire population of people. I am assuming you live on the west coast where less than 1% of Black population lives. Who said you are to bow down? But we will not kiss your asses or any other ass. Some Africans sold their brothers into slavery, but Europeans played the same divide & conquer game with the Natives here. Mayans sided with Spaniards against Aztecs. We did not ask to come here, we are here as a result of European greed.
I enjoy the music of many other ethnic groups. Unlike many Chicanos I do not attach my ethnic title to music not created by Black Americans. This song and others are labeled as "Chicano" oldies. The artist are not Chicano, nor is the music. Since this is a music video I comment on the music & other people claiming ownership of something they had no part in creating. I don't care who listens to or loves Black music, the more the merrier. But when others claim it as their own it is a problem.
Flakeboy1955, that was my point. These "Latinos that come on here saying Blacks have no culture and are the bastards of whites forget that they, the native population has also been bastardized by Europeans. As far as "Latinos" being united, I have seen first hand the racism towards darker or Black "Latinos". Also remember these African Latinos come from the same land and cultures as the North American Blacks, there are many similarities in the cultures. there are many of "us" in the Americas.
Baby girl of all the people here (except for the racist )you're comments are ignorant. I Doubt you hang out with any Black people if you think that we do not listen to our own Music. That is hilarious. Nice to wanna take over what belongs to someone else though
You're the ignorant bastard who was saying racist things about blacks in other threads and calling people mutts. Ricans are mutts too. You think you are so much better than everyone, but you know what, you are just an ignorant, old Rican bigotted punk. You're the garbage. Look back on your history and you will see that you have n-gger blood flowing in your veins in which you talk shit about, amigo.
We can have the same songs on one cd but yours will have a different title - doesn't mean it was created by different aritist. No where in the phrase "Chicano Oldies" does it IMPLY that chicanos created it. When we look up the names of the artist on any website - the original artists are being used. No credit is being taken away from the creators of the music. We are simply embracing and marketing it to different communities under different titles.
All the CD's cassessets, or whatever we use to play them have and recognize all the original artisit. Not one of those CD's said we created or wrote the songs. Credit is being given to the creators of the music. Again, it is all MARKETING! A CD can be called Black Soul Music, Chicano Oldies, Classic Oldies, really it can be called whatever you want it to be called but it will be something that will grab the attention of your market.
The title of a CD does not imply who created the music or anything to that matter. It is simply for MARKETING purposes. Whether it reads OLDIES, CHICANO OLDIES, LOWRIDER OLDIES, SLOW JAMS - whatever, ALL CREDIT is given to the original artist. They still get their money. Chicano's/latinos are not taking credit or claiming it's "their music".
CORPORATE PUPPET drawing pictures, pretending because they were made a bastard Culture by the SPANIARDS, WHO MASSACRED THEM, AND RAPED THEIR WOMEN, so they speak bastard spanish, and try TO HIDE THEIR DEEP SEATED JEALOUSY, BY trying to Assassinate truth, with Corporate Sponsors, for them to Coward behind. BECAUSE THEY ARE CORPORATE PUPPETS, AND SPANIARD COLONIAL WHORES, AND THAT IS THEIR MISSION. They have no other purpose! Whores, for Corporations.
Why do you speak Spanish? That is not the native language of Mexico, North America or South America. There were no Juanitas, Juans or Julios before the arrival of the Spaniards. Everywhere the white man went he created bastards, including Mexico. No mestizos before arrival of Spaniards.
yes chicanos support it and listen to it and african americans make it..so why are we fighting? we're both working together..we'll both pass it down to our children so why fight if we both love it? no one owns it, no one plays it more..we just all have it in our hearts 2 love it equally. so just enjoy it, go with the flow, and stop arguing over dumb things cuz theres more to life than that(:
I'm a black woman born in 1970 who lives in brooklyn raised here and in harlem, parents raised n born in s.c. and my bff is pr. what's good? why are ya'll fighting. It's music. and maybe cuz you guys don't hang 2ghtr you don't know we bth like this music. Don't we? just chill and enjoy it.
for all you others on this board..if someone choose to curse you because you call music whatever you call it..ignore the ignorance. what importance do they make to your day or more importantly your life...none...blessing to you all.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
carameldevine dear, get a life sweetheart and argue the case against something thats of real importance...like people that are imprisoned falsely, aids, homelessness, education...this my dear is ridiculous so you win...its black music and chicanos love it..sheesh...
You are going into a whole other discussion..seriously. i can't speak on whether it was called race music or not..i'll do some research..for me the bottom line is that its music i grew up with & it brings me wonderful memories & has created what i listen to today.
again i disagree w/you there is no issue (for me at least) with it being called black music, personally i dont care. i guess what was upsetting 2 me was that people are cursing others out over someone posting that this is "their" music, not because they made it but because they embrace the beauty of it.
sweetheart...its soul music, & people with soul created it for others with soul. your race/ethnic group has nothing to do with whether you have soul or not. I respectfully disagree with you...this music was not titled black music...if we must catergorize it then it would be r&b=rhythm and blues....let me also say this that i've been listening to r&b for as long as i can remember (im 48) & i respect every black artist and their talent and if asked i bet they would say it was everyones music.
really guys...it is good music, but i dont think anyone meant it like chicanos created it, however, it is chicano music because its what MOST chicanos listen to. Don't you think there are bigger issues in the world then this...grow up people!
When ethnic groups create music, the first audience is there own people and then others outside of the community catch on. So initially the audience for this music was Black and others caught on. That happens within every group.
You fuckin crazy or somethin??This is black music that yall just really like.Pure & simple.Yall had NOTHING to do with this music besides bein fans.There are no Chicano oldies singers...
If there were 1000 hispanics at your school & 1 or 2 black ppl,you wouldn't say I was wrong for saying "There aint no black ppl at that school" would you?

Next thing ya know,10-20 years from now,its gon be Old School CDs w/Snoop,Dre,Xzibit,etc w/latinos on the covers & they gon be talkin bout "This is Chicano music"...
I'ma be mad as fuck if 10 years from now I'm seein videos like this wit latino artwork & shit of Nate Dogg.Or Mexicans crip walkin talkin bout "This is original chicano culture homez."
I would run a name search on yo ass n find out where ya live,but it'd be like 1000 other mufuckas with the same damn name.Fuck off Juanez Reyez-Ramirez-Sanchez-Lopez-Gonzalez-Rodriguez-Ochoa

this is real music!!! oldies lives forever. even tho we are chicanos, we love this kind of music because the things they talk about.. i think that a few black people listen to this music, they rather hear lil wayne and all that bullshitt than this lovely music

@vistavision2 "Culture" cannot be owned as if what property because culture is not static; culture is fluid like a running brooke.
Music is A part of the culture of those who embrace it as their own: Self-same with good or evil.
It it is "black music"; then why did you abandon it?
vistavision2 1 year ago
@vistavision2 Abandoned
Abandoned? This music is over 40 years old. Black music is constantly changing, bad or good, it changes. It was not abandoned, new music replaced it. Like bop replaced swing. Music is an expression of a peoples culture and experiences. Jazz, blues, soul/r&b, funk, gospel, rap have all expressed the Black cultural experience. Because others enjoyed it or "embraced" does not make it any less Black. .

@vistavision2 Black culture is a "running brooke". Everybody watches to see what is next in Black music and dance and then they "embrace" it. Like it or not this music is and was all about the Black experience in USA. Chicano, Japanese, Italian, German, etc., cultural experiences had nothing to do with it. It was Black folk expressing themselves and others happened to like what they heard.

@KhemuLuxons Listen. Go make some music then its your creation;
A "running brooke" returns to it origin: the ocean; rises up; then rains down; cycle commences anew everyday.
Notice how I don't have any vids that have black "do this or do that ho' or wannabe gangster rap music on my channel?
The creator of the music is black; however the music is American & not "black".
I do have Vato Loco rap & gangster rap on my channel.
vistavision2 1 year ago
@vistavision2 The creators of soul/r&b, were American Black people, and the creators of your beloved gangster rap were BLACK also. It is Black American music. It was Black people who introduced this style of singing to the world and the African roots in it run deep. American music is Black music. As I said everybody contributed to American culture, Blacks contributed the music this country is known for. A fact you can't dance around even while doing those popular dances introduced by Blacks.

The fact IS that they are not Chicanos and are not performing Chicano music. Since people of various ethnic backgrounds do lowride, why not market it as lowrider oldies? Why the Chicano label. Lowrider is not an ethnicity, Chicano is.

@KhemuLuxons The word "lowrider" originates from being called "lowlifes" by then white racists which was flipped into the word & lifestyle of Lowriding
The word "HomeBoy" orginates from the daily mantra at dusk by cops of "Get home boy before I beat your ass" of unlawful but de facto dusk to dawn curfew in the Varrios as segregation did exist
Varrio is defined by Homie Love & a Ghetto by haters. Homie life style: Chicano creation; however its now global culture like hip hop & belly dancing
vistavision2 1 year ago
@vistavision2 Homeboy has been in use in the Black community since the 1890s. Homeboy or homefolks was a term used by Blacks when referring to those that migrated from the same southern state or town. The term is found in literature from the Harlem Renaissance. Like most Black American culture it started in the east. Didn't Chicanos originally refer to their rides as ranflas? Ranflas are a Chicano creation, it was Blacks who started calling them lowriders.
KhemuLuxons 1 year ago
@KhemuLuxons
To premise that the word "Homefolks" is synonymous with the word of "Homie" or "Homeboy" is comparative to premising that the phrase "American Indian" is synonymous with the word "Indian [Hindu]".
Word "Homefolks" meaning is closer to the word "paisan/nieghborhood" but not from the [neigbor]hood of modernity.
Word "boy" was used a derogative word by then [white] man, e.g governing elite, vis-a-vis Native Americans, blacks, Irish, Italians, Puerto Ricans, Chicano's, etc,
vistavision2 1 year ago
@vistavision2 Until the 1920s homefolks and homeboy were interchangeable in the Black community. Homeboy was the preferred term of Harlem jazz musicians so it prevailed. Harlem jazz musicians had a huge cultural impact on USA, their clothes (zoot suits, originally called drapes), their slang, walk and most importantly their music. Non-musicians wanted to be like them and adopt their style. This style spread nationwide. Having S.C. and N.C. roots I know boy was used by whites to belittle.

@KhemuLuxons Everyone these days uses the word "homie: or "Homeboy" with that meaning; However, its universal embrace is not from blacks but from the California Chicano gangsters.

@vistavision2 Homeboy started with Black migrants from the south. Blacks created R&R but Elvis became the face of it, same thing. Black culture has had a huge impact on American popular culture from day one. It is Black music that is the music of USA, be it blues, jazz, soul/r&b, funk, rap, gospel, ragtime, rock&roll, rap. Black music put USA on musical map. Black culture has had much greater impact on USA pop culture than Chicano by far.

@KhemuLuxons As a CHICANA i can say we tend to label our preference in oldies as CHICANO oldies do to the large variety of oldies not that we are insinuating that they are oldies sang by CHICANOS even though there are plenty... But based on the fact that as CHICANOS/CHICANAS are refering to these types of soul filled oldies more specificly as opposed to the beatles or sum other style of what is also considered an oldie!!!!
clydesbonnie18 1 year ago
@clydesbonnie18 Soul/r&b oldies, pop oldies, rock oldies would suffice. Chicano should be reserved for music actually created by Chicanos. Whatever the meaning behind it the label implies it is music created by that group.

Listening to, playing, purchasing the music of another culture does not give anyone the right to attach their ethnic name to that music. As luvureally said it is still and forever Black music. If you did not create it, your name should not be anywhere on it. The Lovelites were not Chicano & did not perform Chicano music, therefore not a Chicano oldie.

In regards to your deleted comment, no I am not jealous of folks who speak Spanish. You speak 2 European languages, I only speak one. Whoopee for you. It doesn't matter who listens to this music, it is still Black music. Calling this "Chicano" music is attributing it to that group. You wouldn't be too happy if Blacks uploaded classic tejano & ranchera songs and labeled them Black or African American oldies. We don't even call our own music that.

Everywhere the European has gone the Native populations have experienced self loathing. There are Asians who have their eyes surgically altered to appear more European. In African, Asian & Latino communities many people prefer lighter skin, Euro features. I didn't say we had a monopoly on suffering, I know our history and the horrors involved. These experiences, good & bad, created out music. It tells our story, so attaching another name to it is like wiping out our history.
KhemuLuxons 2 years ago 7
It is not bull crap. Whether music, literature, art, food, etc., only the ethnicity of creators should be attached to it - Indian food, Afro-Cuban music, Chicano literature, etc., Our music deserves that respect also. Just because the world has embraced it does not mean it is no longer Black music. I am proud of the wonderful artist my culture has produced, but find it very offensive when someone else attaches their name to it.

In your infinite "wisdom" you are able to generalize an entire population of people. I am assuming you live on the west coast where less than 1% of Black population lives. Who said you are to bow down? But we will not kiss your asses or any other ass. Some Africans sold their brothers into slavery, but Europeans played the same divide & conquer game with the Natives here. Mayans sided with Spaniards against Aztecs. We did not ask to come here, we are here as a result of European greed.

I enjoy the music of many other ethnic groups. Unlike many Chicanos I do not attach my ethnic title to music not created by Black Americans. This song and others are labeled as "Chicano" oldies. The artist are not Chicano, nor is the music. Since this is a music video I comment on the music & other people claiming ownership of something they had no part in creating. I don't care who listens to or loves Black music, the more the merrier. But when others claim it as their own it is a problem.
KhemuLuxons 2 years ago 5
Flakeboy1955, that was my point. These "Latinos that come on here saying Blacks have no culture and are the bastards of whites forget that they, the native population has also been bastardized by Europeans. As far as "Latinos" being united, I have seen first hand the racism towards darker or Black "Latinos". Also remember these African Latinos come from the same land and cultures as the North American Blacks, there are many similarities in the cultures. there are many of "us" in the Americas.

We can have the same songs on one cd but yours will have a different title - doesn't mean it was created by different aritist. No where in the phrase "Chicano Oldies" does it IMPLY that chicanos created it. When we look up the names of the artist on any website - the original artists are being used. No credit is being taken away from the creators of the music. We are simply embracing and marketing it to different communities under different titles.
senpina81 2 years ago
All the CD's cassessets, or whatever we use to play them have and recognize all the original artisit. Not one of those CD's said we created or wrote the songs. Credit is being given to the creators of the music. Again, it is all MARKETING! A CD can be called Black Soul Music, Chicano Oldies, Classic Oldies, really it can be called whatever you want it to be called but it will be something that will grab the attention of your market.
senpina81 2 years ago
The title of a CD does not imply who created the music or anything to that matter. It is simply for MARKETING purposes. Whether it reads OLDIES, CHICANO OLDIES, LOWRIDER OLDIES, SLOW JAMS - whatever, ALL CREDIT is given to the original artist. They still get their money. Chicano's/latinos are not taking credit or claiming it's "their music".

this is real music!!! oldies lives forever. even tho we are chicanos, we love this kind of music because the things they talk about.. i think that a few black people listen to this music, they rather hear lil wayne and all that bullshitt than this lovely music
