Mike James Kirkland - "Hang On In There"

[@feedingmegrapes]

this is one of the most underrated songs of all time

[@Hip_Hop_Connoisseur]

Good vibes. We can learn a lot from those who lived in this era.

[@willetbrooks1]

The message is clear..........keep believing, hang on in there!! A fabulous piece of music from a cool era. We all stuck together and lived in harmony. If you need inspiration, here it is...........

[@marlo22.]

Love this,God! I see the inspiration of Khruangbin funky sassy vibes 💫💗🔥

5 minutes 24 seconds, in this song, oh, and his voice and those girls, WTF, thats what changed my life, THIS IS A SEMINAL TRACK FOR THE 1970s, ESPECIALLY IF YOUR A BLACK DUDE LIVING IN A WHITE COUNTRY, YOU DIG.

[@michaelopoku-forfieh]

John Legend and the Roots version pointed me to this song! But this song is like butter. Ooooooohhhhhh. A song for right now. Not a nation on the planet not struggling with some difficulty.

[@truthwillsetyoufree867]

Just realized this is the Mike from Mike & the Censations!!! "Nothing I Can Do About It"

[@bigreed43]

This band was tight was super tight...the last three minutes is sonic bliss!!

[@DaveMyMateDave]

Sick flippin TUNE. I love the change at 5:23. I have this on a 7" but its just not long enough.

[@gregorycoleman1504]

Awesome original

[@lthurm0409]

Great music, even greater message.

[@sinasajadi99]

love that LP!!!! one of my favorites

[@UBZUKki]

Wow....Expensive album...Wicked tune...

[@Gordygrooveking]

This is the BOMB !!!

[@Tentomushi1975]

Absolutely fantastic..

[@NamastemusicUSA]

I understand being loyal, but considering this was released years before I was born, the John Legend/Roots version (which is very well done in my opinion) is what turned me on to this song and album. Which from what I read, was the main purpose for covering it. You have to respect them for bringing this back around and showing it's relevance so many years after it's creation.

[@kamhash1]

Amazing.

[@andyread5363]

That bass track xx

[@Mettyunuabona_]

I like this version but I also like John Legend Version too... MIND EXPLODES!

[@owenvaughan732]

Can’t believe I just picked up an original that was sealed for only 25 bucks!

[@seattlerain1212]

[@robgorney]

[@robgorney]

[@djjllbc]

That was a dumb ass mothafunka who sold you this for $25! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@nicolasriquelme8942]

I paid almost 10xs that

[@matsnilsson565]

The groove from this legendary song put even MARVIN GAYE at shame with his seminal album "What's Going On"...🤷

🇧🇷🎶

[@toms8175]

this song is badass. raw af. Drop at 0:15 is perfection. beat switches. real ass lyrics about hanging in there but also not being a b!tch. I dj and this is a song I am constantly asked “what is this”?

[@OvezAllen]

@5:24 what a move....

[@SvenHild]

I was shocked that the Roots just did a simple cover of it?

[@johndough247]

"Simple" lol...because the original was THAT good and the original isn't well known by most...this groove is too funky to mess with. Most covers fall flat because they mess too much with what made the song good to begin with.

[@billyjackson3167]

John Legend and The Roots didn't do this masterpiece any justice...

[@paulbristow9791]

they never do brother ...
