At the time, this was a very forward thinking episode actually

[@horcarov2637]

What happened to those days? At least we tried to be decent to each other instead of insulting each other

[@romneymarsh6695]

Present society could learn a lot from this episode.

[@degreeO]

White racist America went to war against the very idea of black equality. Whites participated or sat aside when the FBI and hundreds of police departments framed and murdered the leaders and the rank and file of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense. Look up COINTELPRO if you realky want to know.

[@rricci]

I hate bringing politics into this, but our present day leaders want to see a divided America. Remember the old adage "A house divided cannot stand".

[@karateday]

Those in power know we are stronger together united against them then we are tearing at each other. Kinda explains the promotion of divisiveness we have today.

BRILLIANT WORK OF LOVE!! THANKS FOR CO CREATING & SHARING!!!!

[@JArehart]

Thank you!

[@rricci]

2:31 I like the violin part added plus the reverb on the song. This ain't a bad version whatsoever.

[@JArehart]

Thanks. I feel like I overdid it a bit but it was fun.

[@rricci]

@@JArehart Nah! I don't think you did.

[@jpsned]

One thing I never understood about this song: The girl's name is Bandala, but the lyric is "Bab-da-lay-la." Anybody got any ideas?

[@JArehart]

Yeah, I never did figure that one out lol

[@jpsned]

@@JArehart I think it was just one of those things that slipped through and no one noticed.

[@paulstanley639]

It's "Bana-Dayla..." You got to trust the soul of the Partridge Family

[@harperstacey9604]

Singer Prince stole his wardrobe from the Partridge family. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

[@rodmoore1577]

Why does the song sound like it's in a echo chamber?

[@JArehart]

Cause I added echo.

[@rodmoore1577]

@@JArehart well I don't think that was a good idea. It ruined the song

[@JArehart]

@@rodmoore1577 It's sounds damn good in my car.

[@rodmoore1577]

@@JArehart I sound like Marvin Gaye in my shower but my better half doesn't agree with me!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@57andstillkicking]

@@rodmoore1577 I don’t think it ruined the song at all.

IT'S SORT OF AN AFRO THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He (along with Danny Bonaduce and Shirley Jones) were on Arsenio Hall in the 90s and they played that clip. He was embarrassed by it. "My dialouge. It's sort of an Afro thing."
