I kicked a 21yr heroin habit. My big brother was murdered. My little brother and big sister committed suicide seperately. I didn't know my dad.I was in an orphanage early in life and taken back home by mama.My Catholic religeon didn't stop me from using heroin. The US Army couldn't.The mosque on...

Hey Kingdog, I get your drift partner but when I played it out, then I played it out. Gave up my guns. I spend a great deal of my time helping others who are trying to get clean. I have traveled to many parts of the USA and parts of the world carrying the message that an addict who is seeking rec...

Back in the 50's we lived in a low housing project in Boston. We wore low jeans, tight fitting jeans with black garrison belts,some with silver studs, and shaved buckles. We wore t-shirts and rolled up our short t-shirts we we kept our packs of Luckies the lit end of a long unfiltered cigarette h...

Scumdog13, I was also on methadone 15 yrs. I kicked it COLD. I chose life, because,for me, me, I was the walking dead.. Methadone turned me into shooting coke, eating Valium daily, and drinking alcohol, and almost shooting my good friends son accidentally while high. For me, it was an all or not...

I believe that if you look into 4.08 mins. into this video you will see Harry The Horse Flamburis,who later becomes the 1976 Pres. of the S.F. Chapter of the H.A.'s., who is standing just to the right of Mick Jagger..Harry was an H.A. most of his life. He was the most stand up guy that I ever me...

What's this debate all about. Listen to the music and it says chill out.I have been straight, loaded on heroin, alcohol, Vaium, Coke, etc and the Pink Floyd message is still the same. Look at life as being in a movie just watching the video. Enjoy the video and groove with it, but by no means do...

Wow, what a mellifluous voice. Can never be duplicated. Willy's voice and style just go hand and hand. Just beautiful.

I was fortunate to see Willy sing this song in NYC in the late 90's. Got to take a pic.with Willy. Willy was so gracious and laid back. Just a beautiful human being.He wore a purple baseball cap with the letter H in the center. I doubt that there will ever be a voice and style that Willy display...

The coolest and cleanest sax And please don't forget the guitar, piano and brushes.So sophisticated and laid back. Eddie's sounds are so in the moment and friendly.. I love Eddie's arrangement of this particular piece.

I shot heroin in the veins in my hands and they did swell like two balloons from bad hits and dirty syringes.I also had to "recede" in order to relate.Everything just drifted in and out of my mind.I was in a state of suspended animation and didn't know it or even cared to.I just drifted from bag ...

I was shooting heroin in 1973 and my friends helped me get clean. I was fortunate to help my friend Kenny get clean in turn. This song was instrumental in getting me clean.It did for me what heroin couldn't do and that was reach the emotional and psychological spots that needed exposure Heroin j...

I use to shoot alot of heroin. This song, for me, is all about shooting heroin and trying to connect to a misinformed world.All my dreams were washed away when I began to realize not only were my parents F'd up but so wasn't the churches, cops, nuns, doctors,teachers, principles. I could only rel...

I use to shoot alot of heroin and once while I was high and I got lost while driving thru the ghetto trying to cop and this song came on the radio. I immediately mellowed and said if I got to get shot or ripped off, here, while I am lost, I couldn't think of a better way to go(with of course this...

@kbdevo1962 Stevie's voice is so vicariously seductive. She is calling me to come home, where she will join me. The mantra guitar strum and is echoing her desire for me to share in the inner chamber of her intimacy And the drums give a constant sound persuading saying " it's ok to enter and n...

The bells, the drums, the lead guitar, and then the VOICE. Sucks you right in. Sooooo seductive. I once had a rich and beautiful g/f whom this song could have been written for. I finally got her out of my life, but I can't get this song out of my mind.Stevie,when she sings this song, may give m...

Stevie's voice is so seductive. The music is like a mantra that can't get beyond her voice. The music is actually waiting for her to sing. It waits on her beck and call And is happy to meet the challenge..It's like the music is honoring her. Sucks you right in.

I was a 10 yr. old boy from Boston when I was introduced to this song by the Soul Stirrers featuring the late Sam Cook. I was also introduced to Milky White Wave by the ABC Trumpeteers at about the same time. It wasn't cool for a white boy from Boston to like black music but I loved every moment...

I saw this group live in the early 70's, of all places, Ft.Lauderdale, Fla! Was originally was made for the Gospel audience, but crossed over into the early rock crowd.Great song. Lit up the dark hall. My man can "saaang" his butt off.

Earllier I made a comment and as a result, I made a mistake and spelled poorly and and repeated myself. I had a tough time keeping clean, but this song helped me along the way. I believe the song is about shedding your old ways,. trusting your God, and if you really believe in love, then bring ...

Ginger has some of the fastest hands in the drum world but his beats are so rhythmic and smooth.Non directional but you know he is in charge and not the drums. Richie F.

I walked thru the sixties nodding and high all the time. And when I ran out of dope this song kept me going til the nex't fix. (which wasn't long by the way). Gimme Drug Store Cowboy and this song and a bag of smack and I didn't need a soul. In The Wind. Ciao

All this song needs is a front man standing on the stage nodding. I saw Spirit live once in Hollywood, Fl. and nodded all thru the concert, esp. with Mechanical World. Done in a light show. Lights bouncing off and flashing on the bald drummers head(Cassidy?). Great performance. Good flashbacks. WOW

I'd love to hear the performer do Spoonful.

Gary Moore may not be the original lead singer for this song, but he is still kickin ass. I am not one who really enjoys sloppy seconds, but my man Gary really got it going on. Bravo Gary

Met Bobbie Hatfield in NYC in 1996. Sang this song at Symphony Space. Bobbie was so cool and gracious. Actually searched all over Harlem for old doo wop singers and found some. Also met Paul Winley on Lenox Ave. near 5th. He was also gracious enough to spend a little time to talk to me. His outsi...

Nolan was Smokey's mentor in Detroit. Recorded in a shack like office in Detroit. I believe that Fortune records produced some of the best r&b music.Consistent, that appeals to the listener and to the devotee of early harmony. I consider the bass one of the best in the business. Can compare him ...

Frankie had the voice, the group and the style. We were kids together, in Boston, where we both hung out. Back in the 60's when Boston was racially divided, but our colors matched(black & white). I never knew the difference until someone would go out of their way and point it out. Frankie, I mis...

I use to hang out with the lead singer(Frankie Anderson) when I was a kid in Boston. Frankie, I consider, was one good person. He actually sang at some of my r&b dances. Heard Frankie may have passed. Hope not. I will always hold that eternal glow that Frankie passed on to everyone he met. The b...

No one ever "murdered" god. All we did was challenge the illusion of what was handed down to as to what god is. The finite always attempts to challenge the infinate. Do you really that believe that god cares about you think? It's like the wind asking the moon where the sky is.All we really ha...

Truly a gift from God.

I hung out with one of the Dappers named Herman who sang base in the song Mambo Ooh in the 50's in Boston. Great guy. Great base. Little Richie F.

I hung out with one of the Dappers in Boston back in the early 60's. His name was Herman and he sang base. Their hit in Boston was Mambo Ooh in the late 50's. Little Richie F.

Johnny, you were the best. Your harmony still resonates inside of me. Love the memories when we all hung out. Little Richie Flamburis

The C-Quins use to do my dances in Boston back in the early 60's. Great guys. I will always love you like my brothers, Johnny, Tommy, Jardy and Sully. Great harmony. We all hung out when mixing colors wasn't cool in Boston. Thanks for believing and me and making me a "brother". Richie Flamburis
