ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! This is an incredible video, thanks for sharing @4urlisteningpleasure (Your handle reminds me of another giant, Todd Rundgren) anyway, thank you!
i remember hearing and loving this song back when i was a little kid, I never realized back then that i would feel every bit of this song the way i do now. I love it even while it's killing me
I totally agree with Bobbybishopbuffalo....miss this music on the radio! This is also one of my all time favorite songs! Have seen Daryl and John in concert twice....such a good time! Live From Daryl's House has some good stuff on it.
thanks for uploading this, brings back memories of being young, sat on the couch listening to my mum singing along while she was cleaning the house. No wonder she used to enjoy doing the chores back then!
Remember loving this as a child, very surprised to learn who the singers were. I just assumed they were black soul singers. Not that it matters but as a child I identified these types of voices only with black singers. So wrong was I. Love it.
@Ilovemusic42 Saw this post and just had to comment because i used to think it was black singers too, i was just a kid also...So it turns out they released this song in "74, but it didnt chart too high, like #60...Then it was covered by a group Tavares, a black soul group, where it topped R&B charts....Then H&O re-released the song in '76-'77, when it went to #7 on the billboard charts...So i believe we heard BOTH versions as kids and I distinctly remember the Tavares version....
I listen to the odd tune here and there from music now but THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! This is just soul through and through, the 60s to the late 90s was a fantastic time for real music. Wish I was there in this era sometimes just for some of the music.
I heard this song on the radio today....it will never get old for me. Such beautiful voices and harmonizing...will last through the test of time....keep it up boys!
The most amazing version of this song!!!! Just gives me goosebumps when I hear it. There's not another white guy walking the planet that can sing that kinda soul. Just love Daryl 2 death :)
@luv4allmusik hell to the no!!!! nobody else can come close to these guys!!!! supa bad for two guys from philly,who studies the masters and sang doo wop and street harmony music growing up. you can tell they appreciate real soul music,listen to their voices and how they craft their songwriting technics.
Hey videeojunke, I'm right with you, Bro! I've heard this song a million times, and I won't grow tired of it if I hear it a million more times! The actual "Abandoned Lunchonette" that was on their album cover is only about 20 minutes from my home. The last time I drove by, it was still standing. People visit it like it's a religious shrine! Is it any wonder why?
@videeojunke that's why i love em... we are from Philly area also...it just goes to show that if you study the masters, you just may unlock your own genius...as with Hall
Holy cow!! The Unplugged versions of most songs rank right on up there with the original versions. You can hear the lyrics and other things that are hidden by all the amps and other instruments.
Still looking for a live version where Daryl attempts THE note:) If it's out there I wish someone would direct me to it.
