I'm an African American male that grew up in the inner city in Memphis,Tn.in the 60's&70's this is such a sweet,sweet song. I envision dancing with that special someone smelling her wonderful perfume or riding with the top down just her & me laughing & loving! When we grew up we didn't care what color u were,if the music was good we listened to it! I listened to everyone from Gary Puckett & the Union Gap to the Beatles,Motown, Lynard Skynard,The Stones etc. If it was good it was good,we didn't care! Life was simple,easy,& carefree! We had friends of all color & ethnicities,if u were cool then u were cool let's party! We didn't realize it then but those were the best yrs & times of our lives! I'm 66 yrs old now & I truly missed those days! I've got the parts y'all,lets build a time machine and go back for awhile😊 Love,peace & blessings to each and every one of u!✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽

While singing flawless three and four part harmony (which is hard enough by itself), they are playing intricate guitar lead-rhythms, and the bass player is playing multiple notes and sliding on the bass like it's a fretless. Musicianship at its finest!!!

This makes me so sad...not because it sounds bad, but because Orleans are very special to me. When my dad turned 50 in 2001, I thought I would do something special. Orleans was/is his favourite band of all time, eventhough at that time Orleans wasnt the most wellknown in Europe. Naive as I was I thought, what if I could write an email to one of the members and ask for an autograph. A short while after the bands manager had forwarded my email to Larry Hoppen who took time to write me back several times. And after a very long time, since he was obviously very busy, he sent me a package, with the complete works of EVERYTHING that Orleans had ever made and still not released with written commentary to my dad, and autographs from the band members. This was such an amazing thing, and I promised to send him reaction pictures back from the birthday. When Instagram became a thing for me, after a long tour in USA as manager for a band in Denmark, I thought I would send him what I promised, only to find out that he died in 2012. 2 months before. I kept his legacy, his emails, his sweet words and a strong proof that he was a fantastic human being. I wish I could tell his family and his brother, that what he did, made a difference. He became a hero for me that day, just by being a great and compassionate human being. Mr. Larry Hoppen. - whatever made you leave this planet, wont change, that you are hero to me.
