I’ve always liked Sly & the Family Stone – reminds me of high school. And I always liked Soul Train. Thanks for the memories…
Great band. The Soul Train part is an added bonus. Best clip on YouTube for that song because of it
Sly and the Family Stone brings back a lot of memories that I haven’t thought about in a long time. And you have asked a hard question. I’m going to take the wildest stab in the dark: Herman of Hermans Hermits — although I don’t know if he could be considered a muscian. HA! 😀
Answer will be up tomorrow. Heard it on radio and tagged it for the same reason. Memories.
WHAT a squeal that guy has. I like it!
I never appreciated them when they were big, but now I think they were great.
Wow! 70’s Soul train with Japanese(?)subtitles!
Great tune.
I was looking for a while for a good clip and hot that one. I thought the same. Wow. This one has it all.
