@@dannytennial5311 Definitely an influence and similarity in style. Not uncommon with any musician. All the greats take something in their style from others (be it contemporaries or musicians they grew up idolizing), whether instrumentalists or vocalists. But I don't think you can say Teddy copied Marvin Jr. The end product of their singing is distinctively their own.

This sound cradled my childhood. I feel so blessed to have been born in the 70s!

[@usmc-veteran73-77]

We had some great music in the 70s. Back in 1974 when this was a hit I was in the United States Marine Corps, stationed on Okinawa at Camp Foster. My girlfriend mailed me the Dreaded Dear John Letter. It broke my heart. But, by 1981 I married the cutest lady in the world. We celebrated our 43rd Anniversary on 21 March 2024.

And to think, there are those that dismiss these grooves as merely Disco?! Thereby robbing themselves of the enjoyment of the arrangements, instrumentality, and varied voices coming together in a groovin’ song story. I said it in several words, but Mz Thompun, before me, said it in one--Soul is the word.

I remember watching this on Soul Train. NEVER missed it. EVERYTHING stopped in our house/neighborhood for one hour, EVERY SATURDAY from 12:00-1:00 for THIS! LOVED the commercials just as much during this hour. Good times

[@leebluestone1154]

Teddy is without any doubt the greatest soul singer of all time. He literally put his heart and soul into every song.the blue notes backed him sublimely.this is my fav video of them. Majestic.

I remember a summer evening in '72 I was driving along and turned on the radio ... then this song came on and it stopped me in my tracks. I pulled the car over and was hearing the supurb sound of the first disco song ever released. Good God it changed my life. I was going "whoooah, what the hell is this ??" I then hitchhiked to their first L.A. apperance on the west coast at the ROXY on the Sunset Strip. I was right in front of the stage and they were, and remain, excellent ...

[@MsButtercup1231]

I turned 71 on New Year's Eve thank you Jesus for bringing through another year, and here I am on January 2 2023 still listening to Teddy his voice just goes right through me taking me back to those days of good music and good loving and not a care in the world 💟

[@hugbug4408]

Was 16 yrs.old when this came out in early 1973. Vietnam had a cease fire and funk - adelie- disco was hitting it big all across the USA! The early 70s started s craze that made Saterday Night Fever explode by 1976-77. 3 piece suits and flared pants at bottom of pants in dress only. Semi- wide ties and semi- wide lapels. And , by 1981 that had changed too. Wrap and breakdancing set the hip/hop stage!
