Nothing will ever take the place of walking in a record store to buy a new 45 or album you loved to death! I remember when I bought it and why. Fell in love dancing to this song!!
we will regain in DC again so yall have fun they can change the lightings the set and say action but you will never be as happy as we were and we were poor and didnt know it cause we were so rich with everyth ing else and stoip being so arrogant chocolate city will rise again just have fun for now
Dont u believe in a higher being than yourself probaly nota oh well
still have this incredible single. not much else to say except perfect for a walk down the isle wedding song. (better than here comes the bride right?)
16 years old in 1972 LOL OMG I cant hit these notes no more..I was first tenor back then..more of a baritone now. lol.OMG i used to sing my tail off. American Idol and X Factor constestants didnt have ANYTHING on us. lol there was folks who could BLOW back then..many passed years ago way back in the 70s and 80s..what time Long gone.
47, and still remember, i was about 12,and so mature, back than you could understand what the brothas were singing about, you could step with them, slow dance, they dont do that today, because they dont know how to, assholes, you youngins better reconize, you cant touch this music, turn on 95.5, in b-more thats our oldie but goodie, see ya i gotta listen to more. ms. mack
THIS IS THE KIND OF SONG THAT LOVE IS MADE OF! THE FEELINGS THAT GOES THROUGH YOU WHEN YOU HEAR A GREAT ONE LIKE THIS SENDS ROMANCE THROUGH THE AIR AND IF YOU CAN,T DIG ON THAT,THEN YOUR DEAD INSIDE!
Today music can't never be compare to the brilliants and everlasting songs of our era - they don't have the real soul thats deep down in the pit of the heart. today song are build on marijuana and vodka... I will cling on to my era and die with it in soul..
I first heard this song when I was 13 years young. Today I just turned 46 and could not wait to get home to hit this song up on YouTube! God...This brings back so many memories...my best memories!
I've been lookin 4 this song for most of my LIFE!!!
OMG Thank you for sharing this one. I kept asking my older sibblings who sang this song cause you're right it's been forgotten. But I never forgot! This is my fav song of all times. I remember my 4 sisters and I formed a little group in our fam and we practiced and sang this song til we could sing it just like them. We called ourselves the Johnson 5 and of course I was the baby of the bunch like Michael Jackson.
I remember this song when i was 7 years old ,wow the lyrics so deep ,Your no longer dating a boy you got a man on your hands ,Thats the way it gotta be ,2 say how you feel about love without fear of being hurt,Love is the greatest Jewel.
Back in the 70's when New York city started Hip-Hop, I though it was a new an exciting expression of the times, then later in the late 70's ( Sugar Hill Gang's) Rapper Delight song came and took the Nation by storm introducing Hip-Hop to the world if we only knew that this art form would be the Death of R&B soul....We would have let Hip-Hop die in the 70's like the Crips & Bloods......Black Pride Peace.......
I remember going away to camp and we had a dace one night. This song came on and I had my first slow dance with a girl I didn't know...... I was only 12 at the time but got the meaning of the song and never turned back. This music was the best. Back when they played more slow jams than fast jams at a quarter party LOL.
This is what music was like when I was young, slow dancing at basement parties, going to bed and letting those 45"s drop on the turntable thinking about that special someone.
God bless you clavon06 for taking us all back to a better time and place. Everybody remembers what they were doing when this song came out. I was going to Shimer JHS in Jamaica, NY. Oh I remember this song like it was yesterday. I had to sneak ouf of the house to go to house parties. Got beat when I got back but I remember doing the grind to this song. Memories wonderful memories. Thank you
even back then we were ready to say i do and realize that we didny want the body we wanted the sould of that person too unlike these niggsa today male and female purely after sex video vixens you got to want more than them lusting for your body get some real love and real self esteem
Montclair Baby in the house!!!!!! wus gud baby ? Don't I know all bout dis thang. Keep it comin Beloved. Peace and blessings always. Essex County is truly one of kind.
I grew up in L.A. 25 cents parties noon dances at high school and junior high,when junior high went from 7th to 9th grade. They just don't know they have really srewed things up for the generations. Like my Grandson and many others lol:D
@coolnighthawk45: I grew up in Newark too on South Orange Avenue and 7th street up towards West Side High School.....i moved away in 1995 and i never thought i would miss it like i do. The 70s was a time of fun and those basement parties were the time to let the girl you liked know just what you were feeling for her. My pops used to say to me..."boy you better keep your zipper up,cause i'm too young to be a grandfather"...LMAO. Those were the days. Sorry to see what music has become.
I can't help but think about how todays' music (for the most part) divides and pits us against each other, and how a not-so-much earlier time nurtured attitudes of young love, new love, and potential love. If you know this song and see this reply...step back; where are you now?
@ernestcumbess Well, I'm a little smarter than I was then! But you're quite correct in your assessment, I couldn't agree more because it was a time of young love (and it was primarily emotional love, which these type of song spoke to, I wasn't trying to hear about our most primal tendencies) for me also, a time that will be forever etched into my heart.
@ernestcumbess yes, and its because music is just a reflection of us... there is still love out there though, and of course it will always overcome the hate in the end... sometimes it seems impossible but i still believe the good guys win in the end. peace.
This was a favorite of MY singing group to sing. If you love SOUL music, check out "Stone Harmony" on youtube! There are about eleven live performances featured there!
OMG guess who came to ma school today i have to tell you CLIFF PERKINS but im mad i didnt get his autograph but i introduced maself to him and he was singing millions dollars chorus in ma school =)
@DaStr8Truth... I was there too in Newark... in the 70s... and this is the music... we danced slow... I LOVED the slow drag, the grind, whatever you want to call it... I could dance all night... and I was a "good girl"... but THIS is the era of LOVE SONGS... these young folks just don't know what they are missing!
Hey JAC, I grew up in Roxbury MA and we did the same thing... Thats when you went to a party to slow dance. they would play more slow jams than fast ones. those quarter parties were the best LoL. and yes this song still stands the test of time....
I REMEMBER VISITING COUSINS IN CRANFORD NEW JERSEY AND LISTENING TO THIS RECORD WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL.......THEY DO NOT MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANYMORE!!
Was a pre-teen when this song was out, remember hearing it "wafting" to our apartment from other apartments in Harlem where I'm from. What a classic !
@yami428 YOU TOO! I was living on Randolph St. one block from New Hampshire Ave. Listening to WOOK and WOL. My younger brother now 50 went to Petworth Elementary, I went to McFarland. The we moved to Mt. Pleasant. I have tons of oldschool on my computer. Check out my You Tube = blkmaxima. Enjoy!!!
who are you.....................this is it.i have not heard this since the 60's my courting song we played it until the record wouldn't play even with the penny.you are too bad
WHEN THIS SONG CAME OUT CLARENCE, AND I WERE ONLY KIDS!...........WE WERE SEPARATED BY EXSTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES!........WE DID THE THINGS KIDS DO ~ WE TALKED THE WAY KIDS TALKED ~ WE THOUGHT THE WAY KIDS THINK ~ WE WALKED THE WAY KIDS WALK ~ ...................................BUT NOWWWWWWWW.....WE ARE ALL GROWN UP!...... AND WE'VE PUT AWAY CHILDISH THINGS...I'M NO LONGER DATING A BOY....I GOT A MAN ON MY HANDS....AND I'M READY TO SAY I DO....BECAUSE LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL
The Soul Generation are from Jersey City. Herman "Eggie" Hammond is still there. I'm not sure where the lead singer Cliff is. However he's still alive.
brought me to tears(happy tears)lost so many friends, Was shocked!! I found it! download it.Ipod.Thought I would never listen to this song again Thanks :)
This song makes me think about my cousin Jimmy, who thought he could sing and sang this song constantly. when it came out..I still love the song though, in spite of his voice! I'm sure we all know someone who thought they could blow and seriously couldn't bust a note!!! I love this music!!!
I grew up in Newark,New Jersey we use to have basement parties and loved it when the girls would let us slow dance with them to this song. I remember my first slow dance to this,all these years later and it feels like it just happened when i hear this song and others from this era. So sad the way music has lost its power today to make people feel good. Thamks for posting this it really made my day.
@DaStr8Truth I'm grew up in Newark, New Jersey also and I remember the same thing back in the day of basement party's...nice to see and feel someone from NWK,NJ that feels the same....PEACE!
@DaStr8Truth Your first slow dance experience made me smile. I remember mine with a similar song...I didn't want the song to finish and when it did , I had an instant crush on the guy! The music was responsible for that. Songs from the 70's era were lush, meaningful and timeless. Continue to enjoy it always...
@DaStr8Truth I lived in Brooklyn, NY and it was the same, especially at hookie parties. Wow, the making out. We weren't bad kids cause it didn't go as far as what kids do today. It's ironic that I now live in Newark, and it reminds me of Brooklyn, NY!
@DaStr8Truth I too also grew up in THE BRICK CITY NEWARK NJ, On Hillside Ave, slow dragging to all the hits. basement parties black lite glow in dark posters. Those days won't ever be replaced!
Well Yall, My brother Jeff[Stuffy], Pookie Gerald, Jerome, my cousin Leon, and Lancen. would dance on this song at the West Side Community Center Talent Show in ASBURY PARK N.J., girls screaming and win 1st prize every time. What COOL A-- memories.......
My 1st. time ever listening to this now im asking myself ,how did I miss it ? IT was a great time for music pride & hard work went a long way in this era.
I've looked for this song for over twenty years and found it by mistake while looking for something else. Made me cry and sing outloud! THANKS A BUNCH!
WOW ONCE AGAIN.....ALL I CAN SAY SUMMER OF 1972........VIRGINIA STATE COLLEGE.....CENTRAL BROOKLYN MODEL CITY SUMMER PROGRAM,,,,,,,BYRD HALL......JUKEBOX ALL DAY and night.....body n soul......
OMG!!! Model Cities!! What memories that brings... Hofstra Univ. summer '71, Morris Brown College summer '72. Life changing experiences... Holy crap; the end-of-summer dance! No words describe what I'm feeling.
Now this song has got me shook up. It's the epitome of romance and emotion. Remember my first love and this song. Good harmonizing and the guys can SING.
Yes, a beautiful expression of love and devotion indeed! Beautiful lyrics and harmonies and the brothers giving it all they've got on the drums, piano, bass, strings and horns. Men of color pouring they're hearts out, uplifting women of color! Now its all about T&A and cash money, total downgrade, no real talent, just flash & cash. No love songs. BODY & SOUL, That's the way its got to be!! Oh Baby Come To Me !!!.....What I wouldn't give for the man of my dreams to speak those words to me!!
the talent is always amazing from back in the days

The Soul Generation are from Jersey City. Herman "Eggie" Hammond is still there. I'm not sure where the lead singer Cliff is. However he's still alive.

This song makes me think about my cousin Jimmy, who thought he could sing and sang this song constantly. when it came out..I still love the song though, in spite of his voice! I'm sure we all know someone who thought they could blow and seriously couldn't bust a note!!! I love this music!!!

I grew up in Newark,New Jersey we use to have basement parties and loved it when the girls would let us slow dance with them to this song. I remember my first slow dance to this,all these years later and it feels like it just happened when i hear this song and others from this era. So sad the way music has lost its power today to make people feel good. Thamks for posting this it really made my day.

@DaStr8Truth Your first slow dance experience made me smile. I remember mine with a similar song...I didn't want the song to finish and when it did , I had an instant crush on the guy! The music was responsible for that. Songs from the 70's era were lush, meaningful and timeless. Continue to enjoy it always...

@DaStr8Truth I lived in Brooklyn, NY and it was the same, especially at hookie parties. Wow, the making out. We weren't bad kids cause it didn't go as far as what kids do today. It's ironic that I now live in Newark, and it reminds me of Brooklyn, NY!

I first got turned on to Soul Generation through a late night slow jams show out of L.A. with Kevin "Slow Jammin' James".
I was lucky enough to find this very record in a used record shop in OC, Cali.
I'd definatley reccomend either "Collectables" collection of Soul Generation or the cd Beyond Body & Soul.
Truely great.

Yes, a beautiful expression of love and devotion indeed! Beautiful lyrics and harmonies and the brothers giving it all they've got on the drums, piano, bass, strings and horns. Men of color pouring they're hearts out, uplifting women of color! Now its all about T&A and cash money, total downgrade, no real talent, just flash & cash. No love songs. BODY & SOUL, That's the way its got to be!! Oh Baby Come To Me !!!.....What I wouldn't give for the man of my dreams to speak those words to me!!
