[@rufanuf1]

They are arguably the best eras in the whole existence of humanity

[@TA-ht4jo]

I love 70s and 80s music but I gotta add the 90s. Gotta add the 90s.

[@funksterfm]

A true Masterpiece, what a voice! "Free" is a celebration of the human spirit and the power of self-determination. It reminds us that we have the ability to create our own destinies and live our lives with joy, courage, and freedom. ❤

Love the SoulTrain of this period in regards to the stage setup and the Disco ball. The studded jewelry on clothing and the light reflecting off gives a overall beautiful scene and setting

[@TheCaulfield1]

Couldn't of said it better myself ❤️🎵🎤

[@tinaBabe4]

Yesssss!!!!

[@PayneLive]

My only disappointment with Soul Train is only a few of these were actually live performances (Isley Brothers). I really don’t like lipsynching or see the point in fake playing instruments unless it’s an actual music video and not a live show

[@babygirl6789]

Ethereal Voice and setting. What a time to have lived.

[@user-in6qf4uz1q]

SHE’S A SONGBIRD RIGHT THERE! 😀😀

[@banksofbarcelona3893]

It's awesome that the young woman in this video with great vocals will be 72 this year. It makes me realize i'd be like her someday and would leave a lasting legacy like her. This is from the soul y'all

[@tonyarobinson8200]

One of the best songs ever written and so relatable at my tender age of 31. So glad I grew up to masterpieces like this one.

[@willjames8207]

You were blessed to have parents of such fine musical taste.

[@Octoberstorm333]

the silhouette of everyone dancing at 2:39 is just breathtakingly beautiful. A moment in time captured so makes one feel so sad the era is gone forever, but happy it even existed. Wow.

[@MyMyMy69]

Yes just pure elegance , class and fun ! And people don’t have to show every naked part of their body . Genuine musical talent !

[@davidmasters2408]

Absolute perfection - gives me goosebumps all over even after all these years and hearing it countless times.

What a great classic ..... This tune is one of my favorite s ❤️🎶❤️ . Just my opinion ..... The 70s had a lot of the best music 🎵 🎶 ❤ ever made.! & Great music to me is great therapy . & One of the best things in life is great music 🎶 ♥️ Still listening to one of the most beautiful & best classic s in 2024 . 🎶🎵❤️😊

One thing I truly admire about Denise Williams is that she always covers her body and she still looks beautiful. She's telling you that you don't have to be naked, selling your body to sell records and to have a great voice.

0:55 This song came out in 1976 nothing but good ole memories. I was home on leave from the army and I was listening to WBLS with DJ Frankie Hollywood Crocker when I first heard this song. Im a latino from central Harlem and music ment everything back then. Not like this subpar noise that they play on the radio these days.1:40
