He is a natural and has a set of pipes, he wrote the song in around 40 minutes he also produced and sang it. He is a outstanding person who started a foundation and still sounds like he did 50 years ago when he preformed. He definitely is a blessed and humble performer. He still sings this song and doesn't miss a beat and still has a wonderful voice.

The lead singer I found out lived in town also (Florida) and would come in for dinner. They would NOT serve him until he got up and sang this for the crowd. Great guy, lots of fun and very personable. Sat at the bar many nights for dinner and had some fantastic conversations with him.

I find it funny this band didn't have more hits back then. The song gave them a formula for success. Could have been any number of reasons why they didn't follow up with this style. But for whatever reason they never did. What's even funnier is that myself and many of the people I knew always thought this song was done by either "Sly and the Family Stone" or a band like that back then. I guess being they were a one hit wonder, we never followed up on this group back then and just simply assumed it was "Sly"
