    Outstanding video. Me being from New York, their songs were always some of my favorites. Sad to hear that the original members have all passed. It’s so awesome that the son is continuing to carry on their legacy. 👍👍👍

      Of course in the USA there was actually an attack on disco music by heterosexual white males because they saw music that was loved by gays, women, blacks and Latinos was inferior to their rock and they saw it as a threat and when white straight men feel threatened they use violence. Theta actually held a disco destruction night in a baseball stadium and brought disco records to destroy on the field. Only time an entire music genre was actually physically attacked. Luckily it lives on in Europe, Asia and of course in lgbtq clubs and with intelligent straight people.

    Amazing group! huge in the UK, I spent my teens listening to their music, going back to my roots was a big hit here. Lilian was an amazing singer, the pure emotion she evokes when singing "If you are looking for a way out" it gets me every time. It is such a shame they did not get the recognition in their home, especially New York, Native New Yorkers should be the city's anthem! I saw Lilian's Son perform as Odyssey in Minehead UK a few years ago, he is doing his Mama proud

    "Going back to my roots" was a bigger hit than "Native New Yorker" just that it didn't "chart" well because it was more of a dance party groove than anything remnant of their Disco days.

    I wouldn't particularly call them a "Disco" group, mainly Soul & Pop. I remember them at their peak and all the hits they had in the UK. BTW Inside Out made No3 on the UK Charts, not No1, their big No 1 song was "Use It Up Wear It Out" I Saw them many times live, met them a couple of times, lovely people & after all these years I still have my little signed photo in it's frame. . Their awesome version of "Going Back To My Roots" UK No4 is one of my favourite tunes. Their music will live on for a long time.

Let the people who buy the records decides what's good or not! There Native N.Y.er hit single was the joint back then for me. I'm from Connecticut and I was dating a girl in Harlem, N.Y. back in the day. When ever I picked her up to go out. I would play this song and say I'm dedicating it to you! She would just laugh and comment, "You say that to all the girls in N.Y". I told her that's not true, I only say it to the Fine Ones!

    Their version of Lamont Dozier Getting back to our Roots is very powerful and very dancing tempo

    What a fond memory 😢 this is the music we’d listen to while cleaning the house on Saturdays ... I’m sooo sad right now and those braids back then were sooo elegant! Great job it’s also inspiring me to smile more that’s the secret to femininity

    I remember “Inside Out” getting mad play in Atlanta and I remember seeing the video late at night. It was indeed a bigger hit overseas but it performed in the states adequately especially on the R&B charts.

    So sad. I absolutely loved Odyssey. Such a talented group. Loved Inside Out. I am happy to hear the son is carrying out their legacy. I'll never forget the first time I heard Native New Yorker, I was in a club in Puerto Rico! I will never forget that as long as I live. Me and my crew at the time, we were all on the dance floor. It was an honor as we were all native New Yorkers!

    I got all of their albums native new yorker was originally done by frankie valli his version is alright but oddsey will be the best and Esther Phillips did a version of it too when I was a kid I didn't realize she that old nowadays once you hit 35 you're over the hill but back then you had more older artists like Bill Withers who didn't hit it big until he was in his mid 30s Billy Paul and AL Jarreau too youth isn't everything

    By the way Lillian and Louise are from the Virgin Islands. "Native New Yorker captures the essence of New York in those days. It was performed perfectly by Odessey. Thank you for this Terry.
