THIS IS ALL MY UNCLE'S WORK, WROTE IT, COMPOSED IT, ARRANGED IT, PRODUCED IT, SANG BACKUP ON IT, & OF COURSE, PLAYED THE KEYBOARD'S ON IT, BOTH ORGAN & PIANO. MY BLOOD, BABY BABY. MR. LEONARD CASTON. ( 3 )
Let me say something. This record came out in 1972 . Fast forward. Larry Levan playing this in 1980 until the Paradise Garage closed it's doors in 1987. Now we are here in 2020. Good music will always remain, good music.... Rest In Peace Eddie. Rest In Peace Larry. Rest In peace, The Paradise Garage..
I remember this song, and those days like it was yesterday. You knew it was on, and popping, when Larry played this Jim. Miss those days, my growing period. Thanks for bringing back those fond memories.🎵🎶💃🏿🕺🏾
in my opinion, not enough is written and said about Eddie's post-Temptations music. He had some great songs and ground breaking stuff during that time and should be celebrated and lauded alot more.
Silk and Soul - that was Eddie, one of the greatest singers ever to record for Motown. Think "Just My Imagination.'" Or his part in 'You're my Everything," where he trades lines with David ruffin. pure magic!
@@earlphillips2658 yes, one of the first 3 GOGO bands during D.C. cabaret jams. ( Chuck Brown & Soul Searchers, Trouble Funk) Leroy Fleming played with Young Senators and Chuck&Soul Searchers. I was 20 years old. Even back then gogo elements was used. Rhythm some percussion. Very good LP
This song was the bomb and it played on the air for so long. I was going through a serious breakup with my first marriage. I was 26 years old and I met this young sister fresh out of high school. My heart was in pieces and this young girl would play this song over and over again….because she was ready for a change herself…she moved in with me and my heart began to heal…
This song was so big in New York in the early to mid 70’s when the club scene was off the chain….man oh man what beautiful music and memories…I’ll be 75 in April 2023 and this song still rocks…
Hope that you heard the ultimate 14:49 'purr-fect' version, still available on CZcams. It's a masterpuece with the Young Senators fom DC providing beautiful support. As good as it gets..
Man...i from Detroit and now live in Jersey for the past 30 years...but theze kind of old school jams and Bass grooves make me stop and remember and appreciate how great a musical city i was born and raised in during the half of my life...The Big D has had more than its share of misery, but it will always be remembered for the amazing music and musicians who come from there...Love you always Detroit.
I’m 21 years old and I enjoy just about everything by Eddie. He was truly an icon! This is one of my favorite songs! My mom and bop off of this every time!
If you haven't heard the long, purr-fect 14:49 version, it"s a masterpiece. You nailed it with classy and elegant, and a heavenly falsetto just this side of the angelic.
Good music will always be good music, even when I'm with the angels in heaven, I was two years old when this song came out, I'm 53 almost 54 now and this song is still slamming, Eddie Kendricks is one of the original Temptations, thank you for the great music and the memories, rest in peace Eddie
You got it1 It doesn't get better than that. there is so much going on in the extended version that you have to listen repeatedly to absorb it - take it all in. just keeps getting better with time.
This was a sublime, glorious piece of music making featuring the Young Senators from DC providing a big hunk of funk. The extended 14:49 'purr-fect version is a masterpiece.
One of the towering Motown productions from 1973 with the perfect synergy of instruments, tempo changes, the glorious Eddie Kendrick's falsetto with La La, Las or the Ah, Ah, -Yeah Yeah Yeah - (the Pips -like chorus) or the drums and pianos signalling tempo changes, and the horns propelling the song forward along with bass and drums. I have listened to this song about 15 times recently and it is a sublime piece of funk with all the moving parts working in tandem creating a mighty groove that won't quit. I understand why this track was such a massive hit in the discos. If you can't shake your groove thing to this then you don't have a pulse. The original edited version never was a big hit, but that's because the song doesn't start to unwind until about 4 minutes in, and then it takes flight. The unnamed musicians deserve the highest praise for this joyful jam Don't think that Benny Benjamin or James Jamerson played on it, but whoever the musicians were. Thank you, Thank you! This is what music can do. Gordy was right: It is indeed in the groove that counts.
Couldn't agree with you more, the musicianship on this tune is absolutely mind-blowing. Almost 8 minutes of incredible grooves. Has to be one of the greatest dance tunes of all-time!! So much soul as well.
your comment was so eloquently written and captures the true meaning of soul! Get up off yr ass and dance (a bit o P-Funk maniacs) Being a New Yorker living in LA I have a number of musician friends I grew up a few blox a way from Walter Becker, and across the street from me was Leslie (Weinstein) West/Mountain I wud listen to him practice on his mom's terrace since I was 11 and then I grew up and a different sort of friendship developed as we had local neighborhood buds in common I got Eddie in the background swayin my ass off!!! LOVE ONE
Couldn't have said it better myself. Particularly regarding the breakdown, and the "Pips" like background. ( Gladys should have never left them. I love her dearly, but she didn't get any better without them. They stayed in their lane, and made her better. And they were rewarded with unemployment. Sad!)
That falsetto is Majestic! Reminds me of growing up in Brooklyn as a kid. Old Cat Daddies on the block smooth as hell. I just love this song. Journey well, Eddie Kendricks. Love you ❤❤❤❤
I do remember this song 🎵 💃🏾🎶🎹🎸I’m a lot older now in 72 I was only 6 years old, now what I say to that is I have changed my mind and still love ❤️ this song 🎹🎹🎹💃🏾💃🏾
In this age of much needed empowerment for women and the suppression of black male love, the sound and message matters more now than it did before. “Equal rights...equal nights”
It stopped me in my tracts. And I had to go get it.Thank you Jesus for this song and voice.🎺 You knew what to say Eddie! Spent all my little change on 45's. The base line is monster on here,give me those horns.drummer I hear ya keyboards piano,guitar bongo heaven.Violins please. You are so right a change of mind and scene. They really ain't understanding. 🤷♀️🤦♀️ His people rock. Eddie you know it too.
i dont mean to be off topic but does someone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot my account password. I would love any help you can offer me
Most of Eddie Kendrick’s songs brings a great memory in my head! Growing up in Brooklyn I see my dad playing dominos in the summer outside! In front of our building and this playing in the background! Great memories! Great times! Great music!
This is one of the best songs of all time. I have had it on repeat since I heard it for the first time almost 13 years ago. Would of loved to dance to this in the club when it originally came.. what a time it must have been ❤❤❤
First time I heard this song was in my Late Sister's house on her Dish network about 20 Years ago don't remember what station but after that I was hooked for life with this song 😅😅
Grateful to have pristine white label promo of this album. It's among my treasures. When I needed to sell off records in the past, I wouldn't let that one go. I knew it would be very difficult to replace it with one in the same condition. As much as I pick David first and Eddie second while within The Temptations, Eddie had the best solo career of anyone from the group. He needed to emancipate.
One of the songs that was *the seed of Disco scene in New York* .. others "Woman" by Barrabas, "Love Train" by O'Jays, "Love is The Message" by MFSB, etc
this is the single most important section of music in my entire life. It's like God became a song. So brilliant and hard to describe how perfect it is.
Yeah they make them, they just don't PLAY'EM I like that anymore. R.I.P. to the musicians who played on songs like this and others back in the day! Them AND the DJ's ( who played their records), are headed to the same place, or already arrived, that disco went. Extinction!
This song was released 7 years before I waa born. Oh how I wish I was around when this song dropped. I absolutely love this song. RIP Mrr. Kendricks! Thank you for the music. What a talent he was!
GOGO band out of D.C., The Young Senators played the rhythm and percussions. One of the first GOGO bands in the birth of GOGO music early seventies in D.C.
I first heard this when it was released as a single in the UK in October 1974; it was being reviewed by Ray Davies and Johnny Bristol. I always loved it, and now it is seen as a classic.

True indeed , it seems almost criminal. His work post The Mighty Temptations is remarkable. So much depth and feeling.
Most underrated artist ever.
WHO ELSE puts together and pulls off this innovative soul masterpiece.
This was a slammin New York club jam. Great memories.
You got it! The 14;49 extended 'purr-fect jam (still available on CZcams) is a sublime piece of funk and soul from beginning to end.
That breakdown takes no prisoners
whitney williams It is kickass!
The breakdown is my happy place. Pure joy. ✌️
I don't need to be arrested, I'll turn myself in!!
That horn section. Just saying.
"NOW I'M FOR WOMEN'S RIGHT, I JUST WANT EQUAL NIGHTS!" Lyrics are on point and Eddie's voice is pure silk. Those horns and baseline? PURE FIRE!!!

This is called an ephiphany when everyone is on the one and the result is pure magic.
I love that instrumental breakdown and buildup that starts at 3:45!
YES!!!!!!!!!! BEST PART

Danced to this great hit at the clubs...early 1970s
Yes! In the clubs as a teenage in the NY
Those horns & the bongoes!! "Baby"!
First album I ever bought for my first stereo with my first job. I was 16 and was going out dancing and Date With the Rain was my favorite song.
The sick behind intro within the 1st few seconds of this fantastic song is heart-stopping ! I have to gasp for air !
I'm still here for Cornbread. Such a funky tune and a voice as smooth as silk.
AM 1230 KGFJ ( Now Gone) Used To Bump The Hell Out Of This Awesome Classic!
In 1972 eddie had the all of the bay area danceing to this great hit song fun days no more.
This is one of the best songs of all time. I have had it on repeat since I heard it for the first time almost 13 years ago. Would of loved to dance to this in the club when it originally came.. what a time it must have been ❤❤❤
The best ever!
Don't get better than this!
In the club they would play this this over and over❤❤❤❤
Still Jamming Too This One In 2023🔥🔥🔥
THEE GREATEST STUDIO BAND EVERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! No NEED to speak on Eddie....he OWNS THIS SONG!!!
Sound like the best band period , along with James Brown band
Not a studio band, THE YOUNG SENATORS from.Wash DC had been together prob 7 years up to this point
That bass though!!!
A group called the Young Senators from Chocolate City provided gthe sublime support.
The '70s brought me here!
Luv this music. I was 12 years old and remember listening to this on the record player 45 and 78 rpm. Those were the days!! Miss them.
Who still listens to this?????
Eddie came to wash. D.C. heard the Young Sentors band and took them on tour with him. The rest is History!!!!
I can't get this tune out of my head
I know! What you say to that!
torreador1972 this one and Keep on Trucking!
You're not supposed to ! Keep that tune and find a way to share it
Yes, yes, yes & yyyyyyyes!!!!
It will do that to you. The ultimate feel good Eddie Kendricks jam.
Break Classic at every New York Club in the 70's and 80's and today's sound.
Manny Pintado True that !

The bass line is what happened in the 70's when Barry realized it needed a more organic flavor. This is so dope.
Totally!
First time I heard this song was in my Late Sister's house on her Dish network about 20 Years ago don't remember what station but after that I was hooked for life with this song 😅😅

@@lenzotrumpet REAL TALK BROTHER ABSOLUTE NECESSITY!
One of my favorite singers I was in my teenage days early 70's ajb
Amazing still after ali these years ago, dancing at 4/5/6 am. So much fun.
One of the songs that was *the seed of Disco scene in New York* .. others "Woman" by Barrabas, "Love Train" by O'Jays, "Love is The Message" by MFSB, etc
An absolutely perfect production from beginning to end. Don't forget the Trammps "Disco Inferno," another monster disco hit.
most def walkin that bass horns hittin then the bogo's
In New York they called Love Is The Message the Black National Anthem.
I'd add "Disco Inferno," to the mix.
3:45-7:11 the instrumental break, by many music critics claim this was the precursor to 'disco' music.
this is the single most important section of music in my entire life. It's like God became a song. So brilliant and hard to describe how perfect it is.
That's a good observation. But from what I read the song "Shame Shame Shame" was THE first disco song because of the playing of the hi hats.
That made the song!
@@djstarsign You just did1
And then years later, electronic/techno music
YOUNG PEOPLE,PAY ATTENTION,THIS IS REALLY GOOD MUSIC HERE
I’m here! And I agree 👌🏾
I wish i was born when they made this hit they dont make songs like this nomore
Yeah they make them, they just don't PLAY'EM I like that anymore. R.I.P. to the musicians who played on songs like this and others back in the day! Them AND the DJ's ( who played their records), are headed to the same place, or already arrived, that disco went. Extinction!

I was blessed to be alive and young when these songs were the joint. This here was one of the best. And this was thrown in with disco too. Yes Lord
I am 70 and I was handdancing then to that and I can still cut the mustard on this song. Loved Eddie and love this song. RIH Eddie Kendricks.
Great music with a powerful vocal performance
This song was released 7 years before I waa born. Oh how I wish I was around when this song dropped. I absolutely love this song. RIP Mrr. Kendricks! Thank you for the music. What a talent he was!
Still one of my sho nuff jams!!. The keyboards and horns are on POINT!!! Whatcha say to that??
RIP Eddie Kendrick (1939-1992)✊❤☮🎵
Is this not the greatest tune off all time???
1000000% agree
This is definitely in that conversation. Great comment.
Yes!
Nothing else to compare it to , TRULY ORIGINAL...
Besides Eddie , the musicians are EXTRAORDINARY BEYOND BELIEF
