  • AkA: Eric Freeman- These are times we can never get back, so when I here this song I think of xmas, summers, an the cool people I met along the way!!!

  • this is when music was great blue magic the montclares where Phil Perry evolved from which a lot of people don't no. The dynamic Superiors also

  • @aswadsgirl

    When music was great? You don't like the junk they have out today? I just had to say that. I can't stand 98% of the music today. Blue Magic is on Soul Train right now. I just thought I would listen to some of their hits. This was one of my favorites by them. This song is awesome. There are no singing groups today and if there were they wouldn't know how to sing like this.

  • "going round n round and round" That is straight up old school!! I was ROLLIN when this came out. Great times in the Big Apple!!!

  • Well arranged song because that's the way life is full of ups and downs .

  • good times that won't come back ... today's music is nothing compared to this

  • Honestly, I could relate to this song until i became one of the spectators in the audience.

  • I love this song. It has so much meaning. An it helps me cope with certain situations in my life. An hey, i'm 18 in 8 days

  • him and the lead singer of the stylistics,always sounded alike to me

  • I read the comments on this post. Someone has no appreciation of good music or of how life really is. Barry Biggs like a clown acts. He sped up the song and to me made it a clown song. Blue Magic performed this song like me meditate. Slow, deliberate and timed so that the listener could see it's truth. We meditate life and ponder it's truths. Life is a three ring circus. Fast and out of control. And we have to stop and take a slow look at it to try and make some since of it. "Stop to Start

  • isso não e ouvir musica,e viajar,que gostoso.

  • esta hermosa esta cancion thanks thanks

  • This is good but I prefer Barry Bigg's version

  • i can never seem to listen to this without getting a tear in my eye

  • DIS SHYT GOES HARD IDGAF wUT DA ATTITUDE ISSS

  • Learn how to pick your poison in life. All that doesn't kill you is suppose to make you better.

  • This song as well as most of the old ones has a very deep message for the old and young. Yes it is sad but we must also remember all the joy we once had something I have not seen in along time. When you could be a child and not worry about the adult things in life. Thank you to whom ever brought this back. Thank you to all of the old singers who knew what music was when it had true meaning. Not to many of them around today.

  • One of my top 10 groups of all time !!

  • This is such a unique song. Its jsut okay, but at the end 4:12 it kcks in as a very good song. I like it.

  • Damn! What memories this song invokes!

  • Now This is TRUELY Old SCHOOL,However I Still Remember It Quite WELL !!!

  • such a beautiful voice and song

  • Comment removed

  • Love this Song !!

  • I just loved this song in high school, It brings back many memories of when I was a teenager.

  • To MCEDS,,,,They wasn't a one hit wonder!!! They were truly Special!!!!

  • I think the only reason it looks like they obsessed with the circus is because they hit it big with "Sideshow" as their first hit so when they released their next single after their first huge hit, they wanted it to be similar theme wise so that the millions of people who bought the first one would buy "Three Ring Circus". This was called a "follow up single" and was pretty standard for bands who wanted to avoid becoming a 1 hit wonder. Lesley gore had "It's my party" and then had "Judy's turn"

  • donde puedo conseguir pistas de karaoke del grupo blue magic ej. sides show y three ring circus

  • aint it the truth? 3 ring.

  • thank you xyze13 this song i have love every since i was young i thought men only felt this way.long story behind that .Ihave sine i have been grown i have felt this myself and i am a woman.

  • Even without the complete opening, with the sideshow barker talking, its a KILLER Philly Soul song. So smooth a class act all the way, I have all their LPS some in duplicate never opened...... never forgot seeing them in person years ago. Great stuff. No, noone every forgets this one once they have heard it. :)

  • Depending on the point of view, life can be up or down but, never forget to appreciate the privilege of being alive, up or down. Much worse than life's circus is NO life at all. This song is a gem

  • @maycolBlueMagic I really feel your point of view thanks.

  • Epic shit!

  • Goood Music......Delfonics influence....nothing wrong with that. Im slow dancing around the house with this.....

  • ..for my dear friend stevie alli...kept going...jhosa

  • I really really like Blue Magic but they seemed to have somewhat of an obsession with circus', carnnivals, clowns and things of that sort. LOL

  • this is a really good song from Blue magic.

  • Wow...Over 33,000 views...Thought many would not remember this song! Rarely ever played...From the fall of 1974...Would give anything to go back to this time...

  • check out my song usin blue magic sample

  • love it

  • Nena i have too agree with you, this is my favorite overall the blue magic music. It is so beautiful, and true it is life is a three ring circus, and as the world turns, it goes round and round.. We deal with all kinds of attitudes and mess up ways from people. But i guess we couldn't all be the same..

  • life still a three ring circus going round and round ya dig!! luv this song

  • Hit #5 soul, #36 pop in Billboard. Kept 'em from bein' a 1 hit wonder on the pop chart. God bless!

  • A 1974 Classic!

  • This is my favorite song by blue magic I love this one so sad but true dats how life is!

  • These are my home boys. I have lived the life Blue Magic is singing. All of the ups and down of a merry go round. Going round and round and round, But it's all good.
