@GereDJ No kidding! Just when it's time to Make It Mellow, it becomes one of the least-mellow videos ever...
-
they were happy as hell
-
Look at the three cheerleaders dressed in blue suits! LOL!
-
on the contrary, Gere DJ, that's one funky break @1:50. made me do a back flip.
-
@SneakerZeeker had to keep it radio friendly "3:05" in those days or it was hard to get it played.

Bullshit! This IS the real deal! Negro music like this is authentic and priceless. You can't buy this live authenticity in a recording studio. Where else can you find this kind of reverse discrimination? Archie dressed the white boys up like buffoons, and the one had an Abraham Lincoln beard to top it off! I give this '60s negro led band 5 stars!.

Cr@p! The negro boy in the drums is so stereo-typical '60s Negroesque! The white guy on the bass has a fruitcake haircut! Archie and the dancing negros are the only normal looking ones in the band, Great stuff!

The sound is awful, though I love the tune.

@GereDJ I really hate these type of complaints, and they're becoming too common on youtube. WTF do you expect him (the uploader) to do about this? VCRs did shit like that from time to time. Suck it up.
