I dont think yall understand of the 20 century of 60s and 70s music was pure gold like this music will never I MEAN NEVER BE REPLACE REMAKE ALL YOU WANT BUT WE ALL KNOW AINT NO SOUND LIKE THE ORIGINALS
This song means so much to me. I grew up on the east side of Detroit. 1967 lost my mom at 5 years old and my pops was out doin his thing. Begging borrowing and stealing. This song reminds me so much of my childhood. I got to know my Dad after he got out the Joint. He did a 17 year bit. When he got out he changed his life and him and i became best friends. He passed in 2013. And i mis him dearly i dedicate this one to Robert Bradley my pops one of the best cats that ever ran the streets back in the day RIP Wally Gator
Probably the best song they have . For the 6,9 k TURKEYS, with thumb down !!! Educate yourself in ROCK'N ROLL , first ! Don't make yourself look like a fool & an ass !!!! THAT KIDS IS A MASTERPIECE !!!! LISTEN & LEARN FROM ONE OF THE BEST !!!!
For those wondering, the other musicians are guitarists Billy Cooper, Eddie Willis, Joe Messina, Melvin Ragin, Paul Warren, Robert Ward, and Robert White; bassists Bob Babbitt, James Jamerson, and Leroy Taylor; drummers Aaron Smith, Andrew Smith, Richard Allen, and Uriel Jones; bongo player-conga player Eddie "Bongo" Brown; tambourinist-maracas player-sticks player Jack Ashford; timpanist-vibraphonist-bell player-gourd player Jack Brokensha; pianist Earl Van Dyke; organist Johnny Griffith; and arranger-conductor Paul Riser.
The totality of the artistry that says, It might get better, but not too soon or never in this modern music scene. Excellence of this magnitude is almost none-existent . . . On y.t. there is a flute transcription of the Beethoven Violin Concert. listen to both versions- a lot it's another "the right stuff" moment
I have this n/m record.On Gordy Motown Records The Temptations "All Directions" 11:45 version.

About to do something crazy music.
Everyone always mentions the bass line but oh oh oh The strings in the intro spine tingling behind the trumpet
Almost 7k dislike…just don't get it. This beat makes even the weakest toe start tapping.
More like papa was a crackhead and wherever he laid his crack pipe was his home!!! Lmfao !!! Crack is a hell of a drug!!!
Sounds a lot like Rare Earth…..
You know you are great and timeless when you could run instrumental for 4 minutes before any lyrics starts

This might be the best song ever written.
I did it smooth and precise
