Side Effect - Keep That Same Old Feeling (1976)

from the album "What You Need"

[@conradcadorna2316]

The Crusaders wrote this song and originally released it in the early 1970's. But in 1976, SideEffect turned this jazz piece into a very dynamic masterpiece with that funky bass line. The chorus was very simple with only one phrase - the title to the song. Then the jazz organ sets the ultimate mood of the song with that gospel feel emancipating the soul from deep within. The trombone follows to end. This piece piece brings you to your knees or have you religiously search for divinity with open arms.

[@dfosborne2]

SideEffect leveled this song up from the Crusaders version!

[@cm9241]

​​​​@dfosborne2 No. You can't beat the original. Smoother in every way. The added "why don't you keep that same old feeling" vocals on this version is such a weird decision, doesn't add anything to the song and actively distracts from it. The trombone solo was good on this version, but so was the original.

[@Mskaybee41]

This makes me think of my mom. She played songs like these Sunday after church while she was cooking. I sure miss her and good music like this!

[@l.rome571]

[@user-yc9rh9vy6n]

The summer of 1976 was among the BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE! Good Times ❤❤

[@byronbenguche]

This reminds me of my mom and here 1976 4door Buick Electra she had this in her 8 track and us driving down Lake Shore Drive on Saturdays. This song bring back some great memories.

[@glenbutler9611]

Used to get into my dad's duece and a quarter to play his 8- track in peace😂❤❤

[@lindarenee2198]

Listening to this takes me back to a time that was so wonderful & simple. I was 14 graduating from 8th grade & ready for Freshman year in High School. I almost want to cry. This song sounds so good. Life was so free. No cares. No worries.

[@4687878]

I was the same age on the southside of Chicago,..and the SOUL/R&B was keeping us together from the worries of the world !!!

[@makibaka2933]

I hear ya! I was a high school junior! The older I get, the better it was!

[@brianboone3276]

Yep I was also in eight grade back then on my way to crane high School in 76"

[@astrawder1]

It's sounds so good to hear real instruiments!! I love this version too!

[@dawnpaige9662]

1976 I was sixteen years old when side effect came out with this song keep that same old feeling. I had the album also. And 2 this very day I love this song by side affect. They sure don't make this kind of music anymore.

[@wallacehooper5972]

freshman in high school, just getting my understanding of jazz, my girlfriend's dad had every popular album including jazz, awesome stereo system.

[@1969deena]

This song feels so Good and Brings back so many GREAT memories!!!!!! ........I'm in TEARS!

[@reggiejackson6079]

I was stationed in Germany when this jam came out was missing the U.S.

[@OdemsStrong]

Now this is great, classic music,please Almighty God give me the 1970's again!!!

[@edcruz4760]

I remember when I was in high school in the early 70's in Phoenix Arizona when low riders and cruising down Central Ave up to South Moutain and park the hoopdies and pop the 8 track of Side Effect in the ride, watch the honeys cruise up to your car 8 to10 deep . Man what a life we lived.

[@ibluejays2]

This is the feeling! I saw Augie Johnson's Side Effect @ a Hollywood Sound Studio 2 weeks ago. Augie said he was preparing for a tour. They sound great!!! WoW. They signed a copy of the New Album "It's About Time" for me. Keep that same old feeling...

[@ronaldwpinckney1937]

This one of the songs that defined the 70's

[@msanntaylor2255]

In Tears of Joy..Pure Beauty. Them 70s.

[@coolmix44]

This is a musicians groove. We got to get the new generation back to playing live. You can tell R. Kelly 's Step In The Name Of Love has that "Same Old Feelin" Peace and Happy Holidays to all.

[@carolrhodes4727]

Back in the day. Good R & B music. Miss those days

[@xDTHECHEMISTx]

[@dawnpaige213]

1976 I was 16 years old when that song was out. I loved this masterpiece it's one of a kind the remake from the crusaders. The crusaders also made that song as well. When I first heard this song over the airwaves by side effect now that's something different and new. I even had the album also.

[@coolpopparob4152]

[@orlandolittlejohn8691]

Brother you guys are so unsung, the power house vocals of a young mikki Howard, who in my opinion has always been in the same sentence as whitney houston, augies direction and super great musicians...so unsung... this song soeaks volumes of that.

[@markpenza859]

BIG FAN FROM FIRST TIME I HEARD THE ALBUM IN1975. ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITES, WITH MUCH LOVE. ORGAN AND TROMBONE FINALE STILL SENDS CHILLS UP AND DOWN MY SPINE EVERYTIME

[@IIIIIIPETEIIIIII]

By far the best version of this song! Fabulous, atmospheric tune, takes me back to the long hot Summer of ‘76, listening to legendary DJ Robbie Vincent, who presented the show with a croaky voice - he had a bad cold at the time! 👍😍

[@mpjproducer]

one of the most crushing grooves from the 70's - classic!!!!

[@chunkyc5378]

I was 12 Years old when this cut came out, and this was our Block Party Anthem in the Projects of Jersey City...BT4Life! Keep on keeping on, with that same ole feeling!

[@generalbumba]

This is the kind of music that gives you goose bumps back in the day til now!!!!

[@w.randlescott]

This song came out 10 years before I was born but in my parents home, this was a cultural necessity.

[@laddieboy843]

"Keep on, keep that same ole feelin', why don't you Keep that same ole feeling? ". Unlike anything before and after it.

[@donnanash2787]

Very definitely a huge part of the 1970's New York Music scene...I can still hear Frankie Crocker introducing this cut on WBLS!...oh those were the days!...thanks much for adding this golden nugget of the 70's...

[@abubakrsalim9622]

That's Frankie 'Hollywood' Crocker

[@captainkeyboard1007]

That was good-old times. It is too bad that Frankie Crocker is no longer with us.

[@BrianniSWalker]

I'm so honored to have met Augie in Long Beach 3 yrs ago at his favorite eatery. I kept looking at him and was wondering where I've had seen him before... Then it hit me... Hot Damn! Its the singer from Side Effect!!!! I wasnt sure if Cat was his wife-girlfriend, so I approached him. I told him I was such a huge fan. He was completely stunned once I told him I'd loved Side Effect back when I was 11 yrs. old. Mikki Howard was lead singer. My favorites was" I Can't Play" & "Keep That Same Ole Feelings."... Well actually all of them..I bugged Augie about him doing a concerts. Asked for his cd. Augie promised to make me a cd. A day later Cat called. I went to get my cd. I went bragging to all my friends and family. Thanks Augie for treasure memories. God Got You. My deepest condolences to your family and friends. Yolie4gl

[@lordhelps1]

Mikki Howard was a great singer, never knew in Side Effect!

[@peterhudgens6774]

Thanks for sharing your experience with Augie. Side Effect, really smooth.

[@Zowyla]

True that summersbr1. The weed was good, a dime was four fingers, people was still fighting with their hands not guns. We seemed to have more love for one another in the 70's. What happen? I could never figure out where'd we go backwards. Your right music now, there's no new sound.

[@dartenyagranger29]

RIP Augie Johnson!!

[@jarrodbutts716]

Amazing how some songs just stay with you. I first heard this song when i was six years old back in 1976; I remember there was this huge rainstorm in my native Trinidad and this version just heightened the overall atmosphere; the cool winds, the roar of the showers--so, whenever a downpour's about to happen, this is the first song I hear in my mental soundtrack. Keep that same old feeling, indeed.

[@laddieboy843]

Beautiful. That's an awesome memory.

[@colors1387]

ahh, the sock-hops at Harlan and Lindbloom H.S. ,cook-outs at the Forest Preserves,chilling at Rainbow Beach or Grant Park,riding the El on a nice summer day. steppin' to this song until i wore the soles out of my Stacy Adams. now Those were the days.what i wouldnt give to just go back for one week.i didnt know how good i had it.real music for real folks having a real good time.thanks for the post.

1976 I was sixteen years old when this classic song was out by side effect keep that same old feeling. And the crusaders made the same song but it was the original keep that same old feeling. 2 this very day I love both of these songs as well. But I like side effect better because it's more jazzy. This song should have been in the jazz collection.

The best memory is how Side Effect stole the show at the San Diego Sports Arena, in March 1977, from New Birth, The Barkays, and Brick! What a concert!!! I fell in love with Helen Lowe that night!!
