[HURMSANFORD]

[HURMSANFORD]

@stu, i think its Tony Newton on bass

[wallysk]

OMG missing these kind of sounds !! thanks for posting

[sweetvannad]

reminiscing! This song and David Ruffin's Honey Brown play in my mind every now and again. Orange soda and juicy fruit gum and these songs. Ya'll don't know!

[82BlackPower]

it aint nothin like the old school

[summcqs]

Thank you for posting this song. Have not heard it in years. Boy do it bring back memories.

[wizbangIWD]

It's been a long time since I heard that one, brings back alot of memories!

[jody808]

aahh..my favorite song grow up back then, I found a clean copy of this 45 rpm and repurchased it

[stu0812]

Does anyone know if James Jamerson played bass on the song? Sounds like his style.

[1011cents]

@stu0812 This always made me think it was Jamerson on this session. moonlighting undercover

8th Day & 100 Proof Aged in Soul were the SAME group with a different line-up. Members were: * Steve Mancha (born Clyde Wilson) * Eddie Holiday (born Eddie Anderson) * Joe Stubbs (formerly of The Contours, The Originals and The Falcons; brother of Levi Stubbs). Under THIS name, Other mild hits included:

1969 "Too Many Cooks (Spoil the Soup)"

1970 "Somebody's Been Sleeping"

1972 "Everything Good Is Bad"

This is CLASSIC 70's R&B at it's finest!

See and select crazy wife ** busizz4me.info **

[prettycountrygirl2]

Still sounds great. Thanks.

[rievans57]

I may be wrong but I believe Holland-Dozier-Holland wrote this. The Invictus Label is what they started after leaving Motown.

[singlejeff69]

Thank you so much for posting this original 45 of them. My mother took me to Woolworths in Southland Terrace in Louisville in 1971 to buy this. I just loved the song. I didn't know that 40 years later it would still be with me.Bear in mind I was just 5 years old. I STILL have the copy of it. The CD version has a touch more horn and brass section than the raspy muddy 45 does. But I like the 45 for it's raw AM version I was used to hearing. Are any of thier members still around? I would liketono

[LongBeachMusicVideos]

OH Yea that's real music for yo EARS...Thanks

[mytwinsinmyheart]

LOVE IT

[tcs317]

Vintage Northern Soul at it's best.

Thanks for posting !

[rievans57]

Zero in on that bass lick. If I was at a club I'd tip him.

[Khaliyl19]

@rievans57 I would to, there weren't many guys around playing this funky...save for maybe James Jaimerson of Motown.

[Paulann7326]

I still have this 45! I bought a turntable to convert lp to mp3 but I have yet to get started. Soon though, I need to hear music like this more often.

[angiebaby723]

no im not just another woman

[mpb1472]

Heard it today on the radio. Had to hear it again. Love it!

[chocolate9875]

I remember this song when I was 7 yrs old, my mom bought the single. This song has a great beat, good dance song. Why don't they make songs like this anymore?

[ray15806]

yeah the sound is def different...but nevertheless it is still great!

[mikeeiland1]

This sounds like the 100 Proof version for some reason.  I remember heavier hand clapping and more funky drumming on my old 8th Day single. I knew later on there was no real 8th Day until a second single hit. The HDH style was to "create" studio bands using existing group songs, then if the song hit, get humans to make it an act. It is kind of weird now knowing we were hearing 100 Proof vs. 8th Day at the time. I remember thinking how much the 8th Day lead sounded like 100 Proof's back then.

[ioxxd90]

They were the same group. Like Parliament-Funkadelic/ New Birth-Nite Liters..........

[pattifanalwayz]

@ioxxd90 you like new birth i do as well

[djdavemick]

@mikeeiland1

You are right about the heavier hand clapping; nonetheless this IS the 8th Day hit version, just like Casey Kasem played it. The original 100 Proof (which got several plays on a local Saturday night oldies show 1985-1994) is quite scarce--only on their debut album, and a simple drum beat without overdubbed heavy hand clapping--yet the same vocal track.

[ebntje]

@mikeeiland1 Steve Mancha is the lead singer for both groups. I like you did not realize 100 Proof and 8th Day is like Parliament/Funkadelic

[prettycountrygirl2]

@mikeeiland1 ...and all this time, I never knew that they were the same group. The things one learns on You Tube. Thanks.

[GLOVEY666]

I love this song! Got the cd. Biz Markie & MC Peaches sampled this song in each of thier songs back in the early 90's.

[UhuraSong]

This is the first song I ever heard by 8th Day. Saw them on a local television show, back in the 70's. Loved it.

[belovers4ever]

She's mine, mine, mine....

[MzSherice]

This is CLASSIC SOUL!!!

[boboodie]

Great song!

[Kidcash213]

biz markie

[ioxxd90]

and a whole lot of others too

[MsBrickCity]

I'm loving on you right now for helping Me take a trip down memory lane. This is My favorite song by 8th Day. Um nostalgia setting in. Thank you *mwah*

[ioxxd90]

You're welcome........

[MsBrickCity]

This is strictly for you ioxxd ;D

[miamiborn]

This is classic fire, here...8th day, the band that doesn't really a band..

[ioxxd90]

This is actually the group "100 Proof Aged With Soul". H-D-H did not want to ruin the sales of "Somebody's Been Sleeping In My Bed", so they released this under the name the 8th Day! Clyde Wilson (Steve Mancha) on the lead.

[miamiborn]

Which is why I said, the band that really wasn't a band..at least that's what I meant to say..lol..thanks. Actually should have said "group!"

[rickydfcc77]

I was 11, just about to start 7th grade. We had just moved to the Philly neighborhood of Mt. Airy. This song, Want Ads, Band of Gold...H-D-H was putting their thing down without Motown's help.

[ioxxd90]

They sure were. Just like you would see a "Motown" record anywhere, now "Hot Wax" & "Invictus" werw all over the place as well. AMAZING.

[Calicard]

While you all are ignoring this classic, I've got to tell you I learned about "the bridge" and "change" from songs like this. Check out what's happening at 1:30 - 1:46!

[ioxxd90]

I know that's right!!!!!

[Calicard]

What year was this?

[ioxxd90]

70 or 71 not sure though.....either one.

[ioxxd90]

It went to #11 on the billboard 100 in 1971.

[Calicard]

Thanks, man I was just a kid then but what a musical education!

[ioxxd90]

that's cool. I was just 14!!
