One of the first Rock Videos, ths 1973 TV ad from Kama Sutra/Buddah recording artist Ian Lloyd and Stories was nationally broadcasted and most prominently seen on "Soul Train"
were the hell did u get this! fantastic, did hot chocolate have 2 o.k. this, or did they take stories& buddah 2 court? this has nothin 2 do with the way the song was written, buts its cool 4 a recod promo
Calling it one of the first rock videos is a bit of the stretch considering what the Beatles had done (see Paperback Writer, Strawberry Fields Forever!)
Saw them perform this song on American Bandstand. Absolutely hated it . Hot Chocolate original far funkier and better. I think it was unfortunate for them to have a hit with this since it has nothing to do with anything they ever did. Of Course Michael Brown is notable by his absrnce. Checkout Beckies on YT also Montage which unfortunately has been dropped by YT if you like Lefte Banke.
Awesome!!!!

That's the voice of Adolf Cesar. He was in that movie Soldiers Story. He did almost all the voice overs for the 70's black movie trailers.

I wish Stories had done a video for "Top Of The City".. Great finding this.. and I've got this permanently embedded in a blog I've got on Myspace.

I was born 7/25/1968, and I,too,remember this ad from "Soul Train". LOD*!
*A fusion of the initialism "LOL" and the honorific "LORD". It's pronounced "LAWD".
