The Harder I try - Free Movement

[@alaskadoor375]

An unforgettable golden classic … gives you a quick trip down memory lane. Simply awesome 👏 👏👏

[@stellasalang4594]

I'm 58, and eveytime I hear this kind of music it brings me back to my good old memories.

[@MelanieCruz-i3n]

Me too

[@willbill12345]

R&B music is the best, specially during the 70"s. Whose out there still listening to the best of them all?

[@tamaralinekar2904]

What a stomer! just heard first time this track on Richard Searling Rare and Well Done. today Solar Radio ❤❤

[@souljimmy1]

Me too " can't stop playing it!! And I've sent it to all the one's that didn't understand me 😢

[@michaellazzeri9439]

Summer of '73, I so remember this -------What a time it was.

[@enricojavier124]

One of the best songs indeed in the early 70ish..... The Free Movement, one of the best singing group during that era....

[@terrystroud200]

The days when R&B & Soul were King of the Hill.pretty much all gone now.so 😥 😥!!

[@genielycruz485]

Blessed to have parents who made me listen to songs like this when I was still a kid. Nothing can compare to this. Too good!

[@Wolfsky9]

One of the best " heartbreakers" ever recorded. I own this '45, & Have played it at least a thousand times through the years. If the lyrics don't hit your heart, just live long enough--they will. For certain. Wolfsky9

[@nellygonzales924]

I agree

[@rogerdavis3896]

Still have this on a cassette from high school in 1972 and much later bought the cd. This guy’s voice always reminded me of Andy Williams.

[@emelinafrobel8270]

Love this song, college days ❤

[@70softrocker]

Bring me back please to the 70s!! Bring back these groups please!!!

[@Wolfsky9]

Never, ever tire of this all-time heart breaker. What a time the 70's were. -------WolfSky9

[@krinos1]

wolfsky9 yo are u still listening

[@stellasalang4594]

Indeed!!!

[@MrBassplayer1210]

It’s a sad shame that no one is singing like this anymore. The style of music reminds me of the fifth dimension, and somewhat of the 5 stairsteps. Either way there’s nothing like the old school.

[@MKRosales68]

One of my favoriite classic hit...so nostalgic..feel sad and lonely

[@4hech138]

Once in a while I try to go back down memory lane and......this song tops them all never runs out of style....

[@Wolfsky9]

Still, one of the all-time " heartbreakers' ever recorded ! Beautifully done. ----Wolfsky9

[@marie9068]

can't stop my tears whenever i hear this song....

[@Wolfsky9]

Summer of '73, I bought this 45, & still have it today.------------------WolfSky9, 73 y/o

[@nellygonzales924]

I really like this song I like the voice , the melody Lyrics are touching. Deeply hit my heart

[@RodBenz]

This song brings me back memory lane high school days! Sung this song with full band back up. Girls love it!

[@MIKECNW]

Lane Tech in Chicago?

[@latoshawhite7838]

I think my aunt has this 45 and now I can't get enough of this song and I love it

[@dblusapphire1]

Brings back good ol' high school memories.

[@AAA-D]

and this is not yet in spotify :( one of the classic 70s i personally love. bittersweet memories of younger days when you were such a fool falling in love.

[@gordoneaston6853]

Two of the best songs ever written and sung. Why were there more of these. I think the composer was F. Robinson or something. I do not think I could ever get tired of these musical gems!

[@lennon0924]

brings me back to younger times in my life. Sunday classics. reminds of my beloved uncles who are now in heaven, they used to listen to these sounds during day-offs.

[@litasantos9910]

Love it this song sooomuch❤

[@eddielester3589]

I hear a Fifth Dimension, Friends of Distinction influence here.Great sound!

[@ClaudioCanova]

A Deeply Love song with pain in the voice.

[@latoshawhite8495]

I think my aunt has this album too and I love it so much right now and it came out in 1971 awesome

[@millardpadgett1085]

Beautiful song by a very underrated group one of my favorites.

[@billywalkabout5076]

What a beautiful song it brings back so many memories for me I sit back and think about it and this song does it all such an underrated group but still a good group and great songs I found someone on my own another great one

[@Aqualastic]

"The harder I try"... to dump this song for current hits, "the bluer I get". Lol. Love this so much since my high school days.

[@coolerking7427]

Good song. I am 42 and I miss the older music.

[@rmjl690]

how come they don't have The Free Movement on spotify, apple music, tidal, deezer, etc.? they're some of the great sounds of my youth...

[@Wolfsky9]

Tears running down my face--------------------WolfSky9

[@calvin777100]

To me this is definitely far better than "I've Found Someone Of My Own". My favorite of this group. Those backing vocals,WOW!!

[@education2253]

lovely...those were the simple days

[@michaellazzeri9439]

Shar------even though you're gone now-----------this song is all about you, 4-ever & ever. -----------------------MJL, 75 y/o

[@Santoseileen67]

I love this song! 💙💙💙

[@dennisdelacruz9128]

Remembering my High School days at FG Calderon Sta Ana Manila.

[@addiebelen8602]

I never get tired of listening to this song all through the years... my best favorite ever. ❤️

[@gordoneaston6853]

It is a grrrreat song! I think that Tony the Tiger would agree. I have found somebody new is also wonderful.

[@addiebelen8602]

It's my national anthem haha. Always the no. 1 song in my life 😍

[@iliveibreathe]

Good gracious, how lovely! The words, the vocals, the horns.

[@romypolito2862]

Very memorable indeed !!

[@coletteday3348]

I can't help make myself cry each time I hear this song, at the same time makes my heart jump for joy. Is it a weird feeling?

[@romeos50]

makes me feel young again!!

[@benpacquing9018]

beautiful.

[@AlbertoReyes-ht3sd]

My favorite song

[@kembot5626]

This was the song that kept playing in my head when I decided to let go of the only person I consider my greatest love. It’s hard losing someone you love yet know in your heart it’s all for the best.

[@calvinjackson538]

Their BEST song. My favorite.

[@froilanvaldez4350]

Throwback.

[@ronthealmightyratking8206]

[@JimBobSeeker]

Great recording!

[@solreaper665]

Hope to hear it on spotify 🤗

[@ericbee519]

I always go to yt music especially when there are songs which you can't find on spotify. How can they not include this in the list?

[@litasantos3132]

Loveit

[@williamvictorlayda4837]

Agree! why not in Spotify???

[@d.mckenzie1585]

Wonder of this is on a CD? Would love to have it❤

[@namheRI]

and that is why madlib is a genius

[@leilamabeza7955]

❤

[@SnailOink]

It’s weird because on Spotify they have the entire of this album on there apart from this song. They missed it this one out for some reason.

[@e37a]

Damn!

[@beingwise218]

The bassline is just so fucking hot just like in the song The way we planned it by the friends of distinction.

[@vigiesales3660]

Timeless classic!

[@phillipbacon9003]

🎼🖤🎼🖤🎼🖤🎵✊🏾🎶

[@hardknoc]

The sample is "Delia" by Jeremy Storch.

[@undefinido]

"there is no spoon" - this is the tip for today

[@Wolfsky9]

Maybe I'm getting the years wrong--------maybe it WAS 1972 ? Oh well, no matter, this song is a 70's Classic, NMW. -------------WolfSky9, 75 y/o

[@MaxYordan]

Circus Band almost did this song perfectly maybe even better!!!

[@hyperboytkl1077]

THE HARDER I TRY 🎵🎵(the harder I try) THE BLU-ER I GET (the bluer I get) 🎵 LORD KNOWS THAT AHAHAHAHAHAI I CANT GET OHHHVER LOOOSING YOU🎵🎵

[@cathereneferrer6098]

How come Free Movement is not on spotify :(

[@mickeystewart7199]

GREAT SONG GREAT WORDS should have been a bigger hit

[@81oldstoronado]

For some reason the melody sounds a little bit like marylyn mcooo and the 5th dimension would have sung....I miss music like this.....
