Great memories of listening to this classic when I was a boy growing up in Chicago back in the seventies and the eighties. I didn't know what the song meant then. But even though I'm much older today, I can still relate ❤️💕💓

[@jeffreychandler8666]

I can remember when this song was released, and the reaction many people felt. Many of us being young, and young at heart, experienced, triumphs of love. It was a feeling of "SPRING" and it was between the month of March and May. This song was popular, and, it garnered tremendous playtime on the airwaves, AM/FM stations.

OMG...MY SPIRIT NEVER GONNA GET OLD....I'M GONNA KEEP MY YOUNG SOUL...LOL

Okay, I hear the title song, also “Just My Imagination” and just a bit of “I Destroyed Your Love”. Does anybody else get that? Beautiful vocals. I’d heard this by the Marvelettes. Good cover.

[@ginajones8632]

This song, as well as their other song "You're So Right for Me" and other super soul hits from the 70's remind me of cleaning up the house on a summer Saturday morning with the doors open and the screens in the windows, singing and dancing with the broom, mop and the vacuum!!! Looking up to my "Big Sis" as she had the guys and always had the radio tuned to WJLB, especially with DJ Donnie "The Love Bug" Simpson as he was once known before he became a "Video Soul" host on BET....3/31/19.

He's a 70's music guy like I think most here are. Really Interesting.

I think the Marvellettes recorded it first. Van McCoy wrote and number of songs for Motown.
