It just doesn't get much better than that. The American Dream became a reality for us. Don't ever give up the dream.

Had the enormous privilege of seeing them at Myrtle Beach SC. Had a good chat with them, General Johnson is one of the most decent and modest performers I have ever met (RIP)

I was 12 when this was playing on the airwaves in 1970. I’m from Chicago. On station WVON 1450am and WGRT 950am radio..

What a beautiful feeling comes over me whenever I hear the sound of this song. Everything that is right and good about music is in this. Even the notes being played on the bass guitar has a melodic shimmer bouncing off the sounds of the other instruments. The background orchestration has a feeling of healing a heart. It's not a difficult piece of music. Magic was truly captured in it. Probably the finest Motown record that never actually came out on Motown Records

I have always loved this song and the lead singer's unique voice. RIP Sir General Johnson.

[@ramyhuber8392]

Yes amazing unique voice deep with feeling so good!

[@donnaeckhardt6960]

When this song came out I had no worries & no real responsibilities. Even 2day this song takes ur worries away.

[@rayharper5287]

I was 14 in 1970 with all this great music, where have the years gone?

[@johnchinnici6971]

Me too

General Johnson, one of the baddest singers of all-time!!!!

[@anncrawford8537]

😷😷😷These sounds are reminder when the United States was moving in the right direction, with all it's struggles, continue to move forward and the music reflected that. So grateful for what these great artist left behind.🙂🙂🙂

Knowledge

[@kahakookina2822]

Yes! Throughout the 1970s, there was a glimmer of hope at the end of the dark tunnel leftover from the '50s and '60s. No other medium brought the races together as music and disco did in the '70s, something our nation so desperately needs in the darkness of the 2020s.

[@jaydickey1049]

I think most of todays music reflects todays society, kind of ugly....

[@alblack3425]

Holland- Doizer writing team soooo underrated...practically wrote the book on how to write creative songs using the four beat snare with a high-hat accent cymbal.

[@michaelkoszowski3716]

al black ...good point !! ...agreed.

[@lamper2]

WASN'T THEM ! SEE SHEET MUSIC ABOVE AT 2:14

@@lamper2 dunbar and wayne were part of the team though.

[@gregfoles5480]

@@lamper2 They may not have written this but it's clear that they produced it. It could easily have been a Four Tops song if HDH has stayed at Motown.

[@seanrandles3416]

@@gregfoles5480 It was Holland Dozier Holland who wrote this- and all the other great Invictus hits. They used the names Dunbar and Wayne as aliases as they were still in dispute with Berry Gordy after leaving Motown.

[@nickhuber9627]

General Johnson at his finest. Such great song and such a great and unique voice.

[@RichardCaldron]

I was 11 years old when this song came out and my sister husband let me drive his 1961 Chevy and this song was on the radio I will never forget it ❤❤❤❤

[@MikeBTek]

I also remember Chairmen of the Board singing, "You got me dangling on a string, Please don't let me drop. You're everything I've got." Loved that weird voice because it was so full of rhythm and energy. One of my fondest memories in music history were those vibrating lips at 3:33 "Bbbbrrrrrr!

[@nickwilliams1065]

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrilliant, Used to pound the youth club floor to this as a teen in the 70's. Still makes me feel the same way now at 55, the years have passed but the sentiment is still the same. Give me just a little more time, Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

[@ABCABC-tj4dg]

I ran out of time and courage! So she marred someone else. But classic single from 1970 lasting longer thank you.
