I experienced what he was singing about when this song came out. Kinda opened my eyes to what I was doing with ladies. The whole thing was surreal. How awesome it is to look back on mistakes.

[@varietyguy]

I’m 68 years old as well. I agree wholeheartedly with everything you wrote!!!

[@robertthomson2220]

No kidding. I was 13 just.... realizing there was girls out there. The song rings true to this day still havent figured them out.

[@thomphoc1898]

I'm 69 years old. We were teenagers during the greatest time in rock and roll.

[@michillene]

This song was so underrated and so was Lee.I loved this when I was 17 and I still love it just as much..Fantastic memories from that time for me, I will never foget..

[@philosborn1840]

I was 14 when this song came out, and I felt so sorry for the guys pain.

lee michaels,he's one of those very few artists that you could have not heard him for 25 or 30 years but soon as the song starts you know every word,every nuance of the music,he gets it across to us profoundly.

AMEN

Here it is 2024, and I'm pretty sure I haven't heard this in a good 30+ years. Still like it.

[@delusican1960]

Yeah I know huh?? I have not heard this song in decades, but, when it was played it's like I can't stop hitting repeat...... I searched for the soundtrack to the movie DIGGER'S to see who it was that was performing the song at the beginning of the flick an low and behold it was Lee Michael's. Only a matter of time and this popped up. Now I can't stop listening to it. I was 10 when this came out...

[@robertthacher2660]

I was lying on a beach in the May sunshine of 1971. I was just 19 and drove a 59 TR 3. Life didn't get much better than that!

[@maxtalley6710]

When you're singing a sad song but it's such a kick-ass groove you just have to smile. "She's a dandy, yes indeed!"

[@HavocSun]

I was fortunate enough to see Lee Michaels play at the out door Starlight theatre in San Diego. It's funny because if you watched a play there, the performers would have to freeze mid sentence till the planes flew over. Lee Michaels did not stop playing when the jets flew over. His organ drowned them out! What a great memory!!!

[@davidanderson8469]

Haha!. Ditto for Steve Winwood. We saw him there. Great venue. I hope it is successfully rehab'd.

[@John-dt4bi]

The piano, organ, and outstanding drumming. What a great pop song. It's been 50 years since I first heard and it still rocks. In and out of my playlist for decades. Steering wheel drum song.

Man does this song instantly take me back to my teenage years! Am I that old? One good thing about getting old? It happens to everyone. Nobody is immune or singular.

[@AlsShop1]

Bought that album many years ago, used to play it all the time. Lee Michaels never did get the air time he deserved.

[@jimrebr]

I love Lee Michael’s, saw him so many times back in 1969, 1970, 1971, he was so great with Frosty.

[@jenniferdaniel1104]

Rollerskated many times to this song. Man, I miss the 70's! LAWD! Do ya know what I mean!?!

I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. I bought the album and this was the only song on it that I liked. I always considered it a waste of money. I am glad that I can listen to this single on KZbin whenever I like.

[@tracykingston9668]

Know what ya mean there, been on that road. That was the big disappointment when buying albums. That's why Utube is so great. I can pull up any song ever recorded and loop it forever if I want to.

[@willhammond5265]

I was a working musician through the 60s, 70s and 80s and used to sing this song a lot in the 70s...... and still have the album I bought in 1971. I sat here and grooved to Lee and beat the drums on the two arms of my TV chair sitting in for "Frosty." I don't know that other drummer. I'm an old codger at almost 80, but I could still play some solid drums on this with Lee. lol

♪♫ This Day Rock History: November 24, 1945 - Blue-eyed psychedelic soul boy: Lee Michaels, is born in Los Angeles. In 1971 Michaels went to No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with: “Do You Know What I Mean”. The song was an autobiographical homage to the loss of a girlfriend. Billboard ranked "Do You Know What I Mean" as the No. 19 song for 1971. ♪♫

Lee said the song is not about him.

Great song for two people they were great together saw them in the early seventy at one of clubs in westbloomfield Michigan

[@ear4funk814]

From a deep funk/R&B background ... but we knew a groove when we heard it ... this was one of them ... very danceable even though its supposed to be a sad scenario.

Great Great song!! These days are gone, thank God for you tube.

[@JohnAnglin-lh7bs]

GENIUS... hittin' those keys so right!

[@conrad6665]

loved hearing this again. Caught him playing many times in LA in the late 60's early '70s. He was usually the headliner too. At a show in Pasadena Alice Cooper was the opening act and another time, at the Olympic Alvin Lee and Love, Taj Mahal played before LM took the stage. Another time at the Shrine Captain Beefheart was the opener, never showed, and then eventually Lee Michaels and Frosty got to play but after a couple songs the fire marshal shut it down because people stood in front of the stage after he said not to do so. That pissed a people off and a mini riot ensued in the auditorium and on the street.

[@MichaelSmith-rz6cq]

Was 6 yrs old when this came out.My Pops used to blast this one in the car,liked ever since.Seems like yesturday,many Great memories to tune.Thanks for the Post.:)

[@radioman66]

I remember this gem of a song coming out of my little turquoise with brown leather case transistor AM radio. I remember it being in hot rotation on Famous 56 WFIL played every hour and a half. It belted out of that speaker the size of the bottom of a Coke can. It rang out along side of Marvin Gaye's What's Going On, Dramatics Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get, Chicago Beginnings, Jackson 5's Never Can Say Goodbye, Redbone's Maggie, Daddy Dewdrop's Chic-A-Boom & 3 Dog Night JTW just to name a few.
