jbmontag you are mistaken in serveral of your transcribed lyrics: "aye aye captain" should be "I ain't catchin'" and it is not "when will we overcome" but "when will I overcome". I hope you will correct your mistakes. I bought this album when it first came out in 1974 during the Recession of that time and times were in fact real tough! Lamont Dozier was not a great singer but he was a tremendous composer.

@rufusterrymcconnell Actually, the mistake comes from wherever I copied and pasted the lyrics from.

[rufusterrymcconnell]

@jbmontag Regardless to the source of your error.......it needs to be corrected. Otherwise it is very misleading to whoever reads it.

@rufusterrymcconnell The lyrics have been deleted, in their entirety, for a week. Feel free to look them up online, should you like to read them.

@thabiti56 this song is on Lamont Dozier's first official solo album after splitting from the Holland brothers...the album is called "OUT HERE ON MY OWN", and was produced by McKinley Jackson, formerly of Invictus Records also...You might want to check out Freda Payne's "PAYNE AND PLEASURE" album on ABC also. These 2 LPs had a lot of the same writers, and personnel. Both produced by McKinley. MASTERPIECES!!

@mikesmes As good as Phil Collins is, he could never do this song justice. This is really a period song. Nixon was president at the time and the times were hard. Long gas lines. rationing of gasoline. The Arab oil embrago. Rising food prices. Lamont Dozier was telling a story that Phil Collins just couldn't do right by. Mostly because he couldn't relate to what was going on at the time. I know. I lived through it. Heard this song when it was going on.

this song applies to the scene in todays society

No matter how some want to say the 70's was, there was a sense of peace in the air the gun was not a part of every party, the government had put it's two cent in for american people. There was the commodity food available for those that qualified, and the one's that wanted it. i still say the seventies was a killer. Fopr I am a seventier which kicked it well, i was very young i learned the difference of those day's thn these day's however, there was a colossal difference.

1974, that's what I'm talking about.
