Love this...and how they had two lead vocalists and both their falsettos are off the charts in this song and in Natural High. Most under-rated soul band ever.

This will always remind me of my late husband. He loved Bloodstone because they said things he wanted to.

[@travesotom6890]

Harry can blow, big Blood Stone fan this was my favorite song of theirs I even memorized all the words and I had a crush on a girl and whenever I heard this song I would think of her 😎🤩

[@KBB4eva]

One of the greatest bands of the 70’s. Great musicians and singers . They inspired me as a singer

[@johnjordan3151]

IMO One of the greatest bands of all time

[@darnellwebb7609]

Bloodstone what an amazing group with big hairy Williams on lead vocals the boy has some pipes that can reach heaven Bloodstone my favorite group Kansas City Boys

[@bennyadler5882]

These fellas even more powerfully charged in concert. The big guy could straight up blow in the high tenor to envy that of most 70’s soul lead singers. I recall thinking to myself, “Jeez, he’s pulling a Delfonics on this one”.

[@leosalas41ify]

Mexican guy here, had the album, 8track, cassette, cd. Now back to album... Incredible group, so much great music back then.

[@chrissywoullard5302]

This is a great group. I just love their songs. I could listen to them over and over. Love u BloodStones.

These dude were so badd and talented... I saw them many times in the 70s at the "Total Experience Club" on Crenshaw Blvd in LA back in the day and "The Whisky a Go Go" on Sunset Blvd... they remain one of my favorite RnB groups EVER!!!

[@pnojazz]

The brutha can sing!!!!!!! I recently bought this album. I first heard it when it came out in 1973. It my last year of high school. And out of all the great songs, back stabbers, if you don’t know me by now, etc., this is THE song that stuck with me all of these years. Why was that? The performance of a little known group. Bloodstone. Thank you Bloodstone for getting me through the decades. It damn sure went quick!

[@TRCOnline1]

This must class up there with one of the best, most passionate, live vocal performances EVER! You feel it when he sings it. You believe it when he brings it!

[@kwabenarasuli8108]

Just hearing of Harry's transition. One of my all time favorite singers. One of my all time favorites songs. Wore out this 45! Would sing this on in the shower as a pre-teen!!!

[@anitathomas703]

This is not only how you sang but the delivery of this song is outstanding.

[@jamesrowland6588]

I remember this song very well, back in 1973 at The HIC(that what it was called at the time) in Honolulu, I was privileged to see Bloodstone!!! I’m 72 years young and still listening to this album. Classics never Die, They get Stronger! Thank You Bloodstone

[@Karateka1973]

This is a truly beautiful song. The lyrics, the music, and the true heartfelt way in which it sung, is just awesome. This performance is very reserved in comparison to the album version. Definitely listen to the album track in order to hear exactly what Bloodstone was capable of as a group. We need music like this again.

[@stevenmaginnis1965]

I was seven years old when this record came out but I only heard it for the first time just a few weeks ago. I grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, so all I heard on the radio was Philly soul! 😄 The local deejays in Philadelphia weren't going to bother with the Kansas City sound. Pity - Harry Williams is one of those incredible singers who can use his voice as an instrument. This song is pure joy.
