  • I'm diggin' this....

  • This sounds just as good as the day I bought the album....way back when!

  • The 70's sounds and looked fun. I wish i was born back then. I'm a 90's baby : /

  • 2 dislikers. They fail...

  • @kmp3000 You obviously were'nt around back then so we pay you no mind young buck.

  • @graynote1 Hey i liked it. I love this music. Check my channel.

  • dreaming bout u blackbyrds hit the mark set the mood with this song

  • This is a cold-blooded track!! Da Lynch Mob should thank them personally for this beat.

  • kiler song

  • Mellow baby mellow!Right on.

  • 0:00 Zhane - Crush

  • you have to search for "Torch Hey Mädel", this german rapper sampled the beat very well... the sample also appears in the hook, peace! =)

  • 1 deaf white dude disliked this song 

  • omfg this music great

  • 1 crackhead dumbass

  • Deep and Soulfull ... the way it should be

  • Awesome! Finally, after all this time, this is where Da Lynch Mob got it from...commentors told me where to come, wow....nice track by itself. Thank you all!

  • love this song, GORGEOUS sound and beautiful lyrics.

  • Hey that ONE dislike just dont know music Pray for him!!!!!

  • @gravelpit00 ha ha ha ha ha ......One day , he'll wake up...

  • 1 dislike!!!??? Come on man.

  • It becomes hard not to compare the music then and now. Music is music, however, music back then required raw talent, today, computers and all the other devices are talented. Facts are facts.

  • When I close my eyes I see waxing my car in the park while the girls walk by on Sundays or skating trio with my boys on Saturday nights, lol...

    This was back when radio only played good music, driven by fan support and not market research. "Hits" are manufactured based on popular culture nowadays. Back then, you didn't get airplay unless you had a good sound. No videos, no Itunes, "street cred" needed. Just good quality music.

  • Thanks for the response. Do you know of any sites that I can find any of this music?

  • like this if slob 187 brought you here

  • Nice and smooth !

  • NOW THIS IS HOW REAL MUSIC SHOULD SOUND

  • 2 dislikes must be soulja boy

  • sampled by DJ Fresh in the Young Gully song By Any Means on his album Grant Station

  • This was their final 70's album (think they did one more before disbanding). Donald Byrd on the trumpet. Can it get any better? Man, am I so glad I grew up during the 70's. I do feel sorry for today's youth. i once saw a guy give a stadium concert with a stereo receiver, turntable and speakers. Man, we saw that crap on weekends at the NCO club for free.

  • Great song! Imma have to find this album!

  • This jam is the classic timeless FUNK

  • kutmasta kurt used this sample on a song i believe was called "Silk Suit Black Linen" with Kool Keith

  • I fuckin' love this! I have, for a looong time.

  • The music industry is driven by what? MONEY. People you have more power than you think. Buy the music you love. Let the industry know there are still discriminating music lovers out that want more from them than the garbage they are putting out there.

  • @Thesmooth347 I agree. And today many good artist are put out on indie labels , so you can still find some good stuff. I just wish it was mainstream :)

  • Why do people have to come onto these songs, and just talk about how bad music is today, just listen to the music

  • @mitchhedbergfan11 WORD!

    

  • @mitchhedbergfan11 Its wonderfull that todays internet allows everyone everywhere acess to all music but you're right. This sound was NEVER meant to be discussed. Only listened to. Unless they were there they'll never know. Im glad you do. PEACE.

  • @mitchhedbergfan11 Because it is ridiculously bad. Everyone running to autotune? And it's also complimenting this great band on just how timeless they are. Fortunate for us we can get a hold of it.

  • @mitchhedbergfan11 exactly! find some good music from today! It's out there! don't stop searching.

  • Kool G Rap & DJ Polo - Live and Let Die

    Scientifik - I Used to Know Ya

  • Phase shifters in the rhythm section kickin ass all over the place! reminds me of being 14 years old, first girlfriend, foggy L.A. evenings after football practice at Westchester High School,,,lord will life ever be that glorius again. These boys burnt the MFing studio down with this one. Damn.

  • LOVE IT

  • So much soul coming from the horns, it's amazing.

  • what is this sound???

  • Great song from high school days

  • lol slob 187

  • this song makes me feel so high without the drugs!!!! lol

  • This song not only captures my imagination but it gives me hope that I’ll find that special lady one day. From time to time my optimism fades…and then I’ll hear something like this and I’m filled with hope. So I thank you.

  • I agree with Big Ben music today is shitty no more soul I miss live instrumentation and flutes strings horns chords all I hear is synths and that is sad and a clap snare and songs likr steal your girl, blame it on the alcohol and other bull shit bring back real soul. I'm really ashamed of my fellow black artist. Thank you Ms Jasmine Sullivan, And Ms Badu and ms Ari and Mr. Maxwell for keeping LIVE SOUL AROUND.

  • Lord Have Mercy...

  • @gat333 i think its just a bunch of old pussys

  • Eddiej7ohn: I like to thank Dr. Donald Byrd for giving these young men their start . The Blackbyrds are all that. When these guys started I was 18 yrs. old, The Blackbyrds were the new groove and they have unique sound. Love those guys always.

  • I will'll be 50 on the 31st, and am so proud to have been a teenager who was similar to the youth today but had this music as my theme songs for life as i was living it then!

    

  • @sbarudzija sure what type of music do you like? 

  • im 15, lookin for samples, came across this, and iv been listening to this for an hour <3

  • @bigben1986 theres tons of artist putting out good music, maybe your to ingorant and stuck in the past to see it

  • @ismokekush512 name a few for me i need help finding good new artists

  • @ismokekush512

    Peace,the radio airwaves are screwed up with the way music is being programmed.

    That is the main problem,nobody is saying that today's artist's are not putting out good

    music. Look what type of trash is being promoted and then look at this violence

    and other distorted behavior. Goes back to who is doing the programming of the sound

    and images.

  • ... C bon ça ;-))  !!

  • Silk Suit.....Black Linen!

    This is DOPE

  • @DrOctagon

    I wit u chief...I was thinkin the same thing! Long live Kool Keith!

  • I remember I used to go through my mothers records and I always used to come across this album cover and this is the song she listen to the most 

  • Sampled in Camplo's Rock on? ... love The Blackbyrds

  • Where can I find this version? The only one I can find has a slightly different instrumental and it's shorter.

  • @PotawatomiThunder This album (Action) and Better Days on are a double cd...you can get it on amazon

  • This is the sample used for Kool Kieth's "Silk Suit, Black Linen" . . . .

  • Nationwide Rip Ridaz-Slob 187.....Either sampled this or remade it.

  • Da Lench Mob - Lord Have Mercy

  • I love the blackbyrds..for me a very specific vibrations and taste of soul. So unik..on this tracks only one bad points...the lyrics...so generic! But sur that these guys was from heaven. My best soul discover these 10 last years.

  • Thanks for the memories and the post!!

  • One of my fave Blackbyrds tuuunes, this tune always reminds me of "Open Your Mind" by KLEER, there's something similar..

  • music today is so horrible. i dont know how these people are brainwashed to listen to shit. music like this is what gave birth to hip hop, and influenced other artist of our generation. these singers today im sorry dont have this creativity. its un fucking real how bad music has gotten.

  • @bigben1986 You hit the nail on the head!

  • @bigben1986 Good music is still being made today, you just have to get off your lazy ass and look for it.

  • @Moreasy  Im gonna guess you're 18 years old with that comment. You actually are correct in saying that good music is out there today because there is! But this is classic shizznit they dont do this nomo young buck...do the knowledge lil homie and don't be so corse in your responses and the ol' skoolers will give you way more props.

  • @moneymont92 You guessed wrong, I'm 38. Don't need props from anybody. Peace.

  • @bigben1986 Yeah, I agree with you. Most of the music today is no where near as good as yesterdays's music. Every now and then you can find good music today, but the 70's and 80', in my opinion,  was a way more creative period musically.

  • @bigben1986 You, are so right now songs stink... The Blackbyrds are Old School at it's Finest...................

  • @bigben1986 there was a lot of bad music bad then too. we just dont focus on it today. bad music gets forgotten

  • @bigben1986 This influenced real Hip Hop and not that shit, that pretends to be Hip Hop like we hear on the radio.

  • @bigben1986 you cant even say that....yeah i agree with you. but honestly! the radio is not even where the GOOD music is....

  • Nice jazzy beat!...just mellow enough to make you want to......to actually dream about her...by the way I married her...and I have enjoyed every moment...Dune716...out

  • I Love This Song!!!

  • nice & smooth, coo....i have visions of you....!

  • Phenomenal song... they don't make love songs like this anyone....

  • blackbyrds jazz fusion funk mucho! mucho!

  • This is so beautifull but it's hard when u r alone ...i mean ..alone with no girlfriend. :(

  • This is one of the most beautifullest songs I ever heard. I woke up to this song in one of my dreams and stopped at nothing to find this song. I think of my first days in Sacramento listening to this song when I was only 4 years old. 33 years later I finally found this song. I will do anything to maintain posession to this song.

  • @William22473 Peace,this song is bad . Think about how many people can't relate to this

    on a very large scale. This is why I know that the music industry to me today is a joke.

  • @William22473 Now, THAT'S dedication to REAL music my friend. Keep searching for those nuggets of gold. More power to ya !

  • TIMELESS QUALITY.

  • "when the dream is over, i wish that it would come to life...." mannnnnnn. thats such real shit. r.i.p dj screw. thanks for introducing me to this song.

  • bring back memories of high school , rock creek park was the jam , that introduce me to the black byrds. great post !

  • all the mellowness , they certainly had their moment I am glad to have been in this moment with them . I can still feel the love . Hope you can too if not play summer love. Enjoy

  • super sound.. what is this?

  • My kinda sound oh yeah baby !!

  • what can you say but pure class, just love this

  • AHHHHHHHHHHHH MANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN......thats all u say when u hear this song....AHHHHHHHH DAMMMMMMMM

  • @EOJARJARBINX FOR REAL.

  • OH SHIT!! I been looking for this song for a hot minute. DJ Screw used this on his "Old School Bootleg" but has it titled as "Robert Plant - Visions of Love"

  • I use to rap to my lady's with this 8 track playing in the back ground. Every song on the lp was a mack groove. lol

  • Someone have the lyrics ?!

  • Crips - Slob 187 ...same sample

  • I remember my man A.B. Welch used this song as his sign off song @ KQXL-FM Q-106 in Baton Rouge, LA. Beack in the day.

  • @eric2181965 A. B. played QB at Clinton High when my old man was coaching and his younger brother Denny and I were good friends.

  • I just love to trip out on this shit right here !

  • Thank God we have the know how to preserve this music and others so when we want go to that special place in time we can.

  • i love this song, and love it when its used as a rap sample. prime example is the song by Dru Down, Weak Moves

  • Nice rareti of Blackbyrds! Real name is "Dreaming about you".

  • Oh, you right!

  • in my view, 1 of the best romantic songs with soft and easy of blackbyrds, i have so many memorys to that song, i adore the trumpet and the melody.

    now a days u only get spammed by this crap reagaton shit... and i cant even blame the youth for it.

  • I used to play this joint on my college radio show back in the mid 90's...perfect song

  • My theme song from my radio show.

  • KOOL G RAP!!!!!!! wundervoll...

    Peez, Jay

  • wurde auch gesampelt von Lench Mob - Lord Have Mercy =)

  • Awesome. The crips sampled this for slob 187.

  • one of my favorites, there should be thousands of hits, not just under 300, oh well...people are too simple minded to know about this beautiful track

  • Tananda I'm feeling it, I'm feeling it. The byrds felt their music this is one of the reasons why their music will always remain.The music of today OMG A clamity with no understanding what so ever. everyone wants to make music about fucking and sucking and that's about it. then today's music.everyone is feeling all over each other and dropping everything that's on them on to you and so on and so forth. And the thought about RAPE. the police looks at what you were wearing and go on the XXX look.

  • danke für den upload ;)

    der alte wurde vor kurzem aus youtube leider entfernt :(

  • Aha, hatte mich schon gewundert ... ^^
