i guese the 7 folk tha tdislike this song are deaf and are just mad because no one is giving and nobody is here to interpit it for them using sign language. either your just deaf or plain dumb or sum stupid rap lover.
This is one hot jam, I was at the car window repair shop today and met Maurice Jackson from the Independents, Cool cat.. Funny dude, it was a pleasure spending a couple of hours with him while waiting to get my window fixed. Made it an even better experience, hes a Chicago Native. I really like the photos and construction of this video, Very Soulful!! Im sure he would appreciate seeing it, if he have not seen it already.. Got his email address and number, thats how down to earth the brother was.
omg, this took me back...those pics where perfect for this song, I had to listen a few times, oh man this took me back, when I did not have much but felt like I had it all, just hanging with friends....
black is beautiful, lets not let these kids forget that, just by listening to todays music it's obvious they have no sense of self worth. we didn't have to degrade each other back in the day to sell a record, they make more money but have less value...how ironic. long live the dusties!
This is the JAM! Love this song, thanks so much for posting, couldn't find it for years!! Yay!!! Listen to the words, this was back in the day when songs had meaning and you could dedicate them to someone...my kids love oldies and this is why!!!

I was a junior in high school in New Jersey when this song was being played on the radio. I haven't heard this in YEARS!! Thank you for this great post and the wonderful memories it brings back. I'm so glad there is someplace I can come and hear REAL music rather than the absolute crap played on the air today. I feel so sorry for the young people today who will have no music to give them peace and comfort or to share with their grandchildren when they get older. Once again, thanks.
I've never heard of the Independents and had never heard this song....but I really, really, like it. I love all 70's music! Thanks sooo much for posting!
Dolphins Lame Ass Coach sent out a spirited message 2All Dolfans-He said he needs you all at the stadium 2TALK 2YOURSELF ALOT &that the team needs your support &undying loyalty-He finished up with-We're going 2get there (GET THERE-WHERE? DAMN-iT) 1way or the other-I hope its with you but we'll do it without you-What do you think about his message-Will you be cheering on the Fins @SunLifeStadium this season-Sound off here @WPLG Your responses will b read on WPLGLocal10News @6am "BELiEVE"
I saw them perform this live in concert along with their other great songs in February of 1973 in the Fieldhouse of Scott High School in Toledo, Ohio! That is how much of an impact this song and this group had on me! God Bless them all.
@brownbomber323 AHHHH! Small World. Yes the Bulldogs and Scott High FOREVER RULE! I am in New York now ,but get back home a few times a year. They've completely renovated the school, but it still there better than ever. Yes the 70's were the bomb! Check out my channel when you get a moment.
@DetroitLives313 Yes it is a small world, I live just outside of Cleveland,Ohio and get home a few times a year as wel,Il still have a lot of family there, and yes I will check out your channel.
OMG!!!! this was played in my house sooooooo much.. mommy and her friends singing and laughing.. probably imagining their no good men were singing this to them as they walked out the door..lol..i wouldnt change my childhood for nothing..
Wow, I used to play this song so much! Where did this time go! Music was music and black was Black! Man I am so glad I was brought up in the 60s and 70s...Thank you for reaching back for this one! I subscribed to your channel keep me posted! Good luck in life!
This was and is still one of my favourites from the dy it came out. In those days I was managing a record store on 125th Street Harlem USA The owner was Mal Lucas. I think he was related to the super gangster Frank Lucas but that was only rumour. Anyhow I still have the LP and still play it. Soul is Love and love is soul
@paddycorea Hahaha that brought a smile to my face wehn you mentioned a Record store! Actually we said Reca Sto'! smile.. Man I lost all my music in sorage and poeple brought in to our house while we were moving! anyway I am grateful to you tube cause I have found some good channels to keep me plugged in to the old school. they don't do it like his no mo'! thanks for your post! Peace out!
this was a sunday after-nooner from back in the day. I remember when it came out, it really wasn't a huge hit because every other song on the box and every group all had pretty much the same sound. It was a remake, but another song we could slow drag and grind too
Love it love it love it. Remember listening to radio when they only played this real soul music once a week, if you miss it you would have to wait till following week. I'm gonna have a dance with my wife. Love ya. XXXXXXXX
I could not remember why I liked this song so much, but now I do. I used to laugh laugh laugh (even after I was grown) at the end of the song! "and you know how the neighbors talk. Ol' Tom over there... he want you to leave me anyhow! And Ol' Mary down there, she dont know what she talkin' bout!" I feel tickled right now.
Saturday morning in North Mississippi.......my grandma cleaning fish she had just caught, no tv on just the radio...... this song and other blues blasting.......calling up all my cousins on the ROTARY phone and telling them, "we finna eat fish after while, ya'll betta come on!" Memories......
Fresno California, the 80's, I was a kid, parents partied, block parties, Blacks, Mexicans, Whites, Asians, they all partied together playing this kind of music as us kids all played together. Hot August night's, kids running through the neighborhood, getting into all kinds of innocent trouble. Thank's Ma and Pop, you raised us RIGHT!!!! I'll be handing these type of songs over to My wife and I's 2 beautiful baby girls, and your memory will live on! Love this jam!!!
I have tears in my eyes-i'm 24 and this song combined with everybody's nostalgic comments give me the sense that in the past we were actually more together as a race in comparison to today:UNITY is KING!!!!!!!!!
@DeepSetEyesDance - I was about 13 ish when this came out. Back then if you had a friend ... they were that to the end. The concern and compassion that we SHARED was in good and bad times. ROOTS had cause a resurgence of LOVE of family and the family was the WHOLE hood. Them wuz the good old days.
@DeepSetEyesDance yea baby we were. I was going to school when the panthers wer strong, and King was doing his thing, Berkeley was a school of revolution, and blacks looked out for one another. I miss those days myself. I was born in 1958, 53 now and thank God all the time for being raised at a time such as these to give my kids a sense of pride. Your post touched my heart.
The group was based in Chicago, Chuck Jackson was from Greenville, SC, The Late Rev. Marvin J. Yancy, Maurice Jackson and Eric Thomas were from Chicago, Helen Curry was from Clarksdale, Mississippi.
The singers today including Beyonce, Rihanna and all the rest of those non talented souless singers have really did a job on destroying black soulful music.
Here's a Reminder! There's no Soul in RAP! We are now living in a Soul less Society! and that's a very scary thought~This !~song here is about love, and you have to have a Soul to Experience, Express and to Accept LOVE! This is SOUL MUSIC FOR REAL! If the art of Singing don't come back~we in BIG! trouble! The Black community we better get back to singing~again! or we gonna do a whole lot more crying, than we are now<and it's already to much crying! love songs come back and HURRY!~
it was continental tralways bus line i us to go to school in sedalia right outside of greensboro in the 60's and that was the only transportion back then that or cabs
Oh man...I was 10 when this came out....riding my "chopper" bicycle with the big slick tires, sneaking in to blue light parties in the summer time, my pops frying fish in the back yard, all the neighbors drinkin' beer, gettin' buzzed and givin' us young kids money....good times.
I was getting on the plane one day and was humming this song. The flight attendant chased me down the aile and asked me what was tthe name of that song. After I told her she thanked me and said her mother had recently passes and she was always humming the tune but never the words. Know she finally knew. I still feel good when I think of that moment.
@tri2beatme I know. Isn't that annoying? Sometimes you wonder if other people feel the way you do about a song, or if you are the only one, but how do ask when you can't explain the emotion? Then you wonder if the artists feel what you feel, did they intend that chord to be struck? Alas, there are no words, because such an experience simply cannot be deconstructed enough to fit into them! (You'll have to forgive the drama; I'm very high right now. But I'm right.)
Ya know what sucks kinda? Hearing these oldies all crisp and clear. I'm just now realizing that there was something special about the muffled old cassettes my dad used to play. The crackling of the record he recorded it from, the banter of DJs if he taped off the radio, that steady hissing sound, the muted tones... I hated all that when I was a kid sitting in the back seat of the car, now I miss it. Still, it's nice hearing the music the way it was intended to be heard.

This song sounds just as good as it did over 30 yrs. ago. Chuck, Maurice, Eric and (of course "My Star") Helen, I love you guys and miss you from the stage. It's been too long. Helen, "Baby, I've Been Missing You."
@C4of9 where r they now? I luv the lead guy voice. he's so cool, almost too cool to be belivable.... I'm smiling as I write this. " I'm sick baby.... sick aw naw!!!
lol "u know the neighbors talk.... then ending is funny they think Im cutting up on ya baby but I swear.
Now this is what you call an oldie, but goodie. When you hear the first couple of notes, it just makes you want to say, "Aaaaaahhhh yeeaaah, this is the jam right here."
...i remember my moms and cousins would meet at port authority to catch carolina trailways to n.c.; me and sisters used to hate the travel but my family always travel with music; o yes on that very same bus my family would rock cuts like this one and get their drink on; wow i can still smell those fried chicken leg and pork chops samiches...lol....great song...great memories..
Testify then bosie150.. Our Family cookouts were good food, good music and good company "Family". You bring back some memories of how we use to travel from Texas to Mississippi, by Continental Trailways Buses my mothers fried chicken was bucklin', and made that long journey on the "Silver Eagle" a lot less stressful..
We were blessed to lived during the 50's, 60's and 70's when a soulful spirit embody the young, gifted and black generation. We witness the gifted and talented, we heard and felt raw unadulterated vocalist, lyricist, musicians and producers who gave in the natural and purest form of soul.
No words better put, I couldn't said it better myself and some songs when i get in that certain place, I can see the smiles on the faces of my love one gone on. I can almost feel the Mississippi sun on my face and smell the air. Thank God! My teenage years were the Best! It gave me the strength to make it through Hell. I'll always love, Long Creek Ele. and McAdams High, "Go Bulldogs"!
I find it very painful listening to these songs and goin back to those days knowing we will never ever see them again nor can we as you said re-create them,we can get all the people places things of that day but we can never re-capture them which to me is very grievous. 1 sec ago
This song and photos brought me to tears, thanx. One my favorites from back in the day, when we had REAL neighborhoods...

@tri2beatme i know right. it hits you right in the middle of the soul.
CalypieAndroid 1 year ago
@tri2beatme I know. Isn't that annoying? Sometimes you wonder if other people feel the way you do about a song, or if you are the only one, but how do ask when you can't explain the emotion? Then you wonder if the artists feel what you feel, did they intend that chord to be struck? Alas, there are no words, because such an experience simply cannot be deconstructed enough to fit into them! (You'll have to forgive the drama; I'm very high right now. But I'm right.)

Ya know what sucks kinda? Hearing these oldies all crisp and clear. I'm just now realizing that there was something special about the muffled old cassettes my dad used to play. The crackling of the record he recorded it from, the banter of DJs if he taped off the radio, that steady hissing sound, the muted tones... I hated all that when I was a kid sitting in the back seat of the car, now I miss it. Still, it's nice hearing the music the way it was intended to be heard.

This song sounds just as good as it did over 30 yrs. ago. Chuck, Maurice, Eric and (of course "My Star") Helen, I love you guys and miss you from the stage. It's been too long. Helen, "Baby, I've Been Missing You."

You bring back some memories of how we use to travel from Texas to Mississippi, by Continental Trailways Buses my mothers fried chicken was bucklin', and made that long journey on the "Silver Eagle" a lot less stressful..

We were blessed to lived during the 50's, 60's and 70's when a soulful spirit embody the young, gifted and black generation. We witness the gifted and talented, we heard and felt raw unadulterated vocalist, lyricist, musicians and producers who gave in the natural and purest form of soul.

No words better put, I couldn't said it better myself and some songs when i get in that certain place, I can see the smiles on the faces of my love one gone on. I can almost feel the Mississippi sun on my face and smell the air. Thank God! My teenage years were the Best! It gave me the strength to make it through Hell. I'll always love, Long Creek Ele. and McAdams High, "Go Bulldogs"!

I find it very painful listening to these songs and goin back to those days knowing we will never ever see them again nor can we as you said re-create them,we can get all the people places things of that day but we can never re-capture them which to me is very grievous. 1 sec ago
