[@scottbc31h22]

One must remember, up until the 70s records were usually no longer than 3 minutes long. Radio stations would not play anything longer. In the 70s, rock and roll began moving to the FM dial; and FM rock stations would play longer records. But AM radio still held to the 3 minute rule. So, many artists released longer songs as album cuts, with shortened versions to be released on 45 rpm. AM stations played the 45 version while the FM stations played the album version. There was a station where I grew up that would play entire albums, and would tell you what albums were coming up. Get your tape deck ready.

Until I got to High School I was the only green eyed person around and even then there were only two others. I was called spooky and witch girl. When this song came out I was so happy. In a sea of brown and blue instead of feeling like a freak I felt special. Thanks for bringing back that feeling!

[@j.h.3777]

Wow. I love my green eyes and my parents and older brother have green eyes and one brother got blue. Green are rare and beautiful.

I have a mixture of both green and blue eyes, (hazel). They say that green is one of the rarest of eye colors...

[@thatoneguyagain2252]

I was seriously crushing on a girl with green eyes when this song came out. She hated her green eyes, her red hair and her freckles, and thought I was lying when I said I loved them. My final argument was' "If red hair, green eyes and freckles WEREN'T sexy, all the Irish would've died out centuries ago". She didn't buy that either.

I grew up in Denver, where this band hailed from. In the 70’s the best live music around was in small clubs that served beer that only had an alcohol content of 3.2%, but you only had to be 18 years old to get in. Prior to rebranding themselves as Sugarloaf they were known as “Chocolate Hair”. They blew the roof off those clubs.

The "Green-Eyed Lady" in this song is referencing Gaia -- [the Earth] -- With lines about the ocean, and thinly-veiled lyrics like "Dressed in love, she lives for Life to be", the groove & beat help one to 'connect' with the One True Mother....

Shower thought/galaxy brain moment I just had after four decades of performing and listening to music: A guy like Jerry Corbetta of Sugarloaf playing a groovy rhythmic solo like this one on a Hammond organ is using exactly the same approach and the same rhythms as a DJ cutting records. I never heard it before watching Jamel's reaction to this song. Seriously, think about it - play this solo on a turntable instead of an organ and tell me what it sounds like. Probably pretty freaking dope. Mind: blown.

Gah-roooooooo-veeeeeeeee!

[@sandrataylor2323]

I am so glad that I grew up in the 60's and 70's. Songs like this is what makes music great!

[@TheDivayenta]

WOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! To continue the Green theme I highly recommend “ Green Onions” by Booker T and the MG’s- it COOKS! They were the house backing band at Stax Records in Memphis and played for all the soul acts there including Otis Redding at Monterey Pop. Booker T also kicks it at Daryl’s house LIVE on Green Onions, too.

I’ve always thought jamel would love the Stax story.

if you have : "green onions" then follow that with his : "mo' onions" because, you gotta have what mo' can offer..!!

[@rstarguitar5350]

One of my favorite one hit wonder songs. I can’t think of one bad thing about this song from Sugarloaf . EVERY bit of it is amazing and holds nothing but awesome memories for me

[@peetwine4018]

Not a one hit wonder! Check out another of their hits, "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You"

[@servantofg-d5393]

I'm glad you liked this song. Another one hit wonder from this era that you MUST check out is the band "Head East" and their song "Never Been Any Reason."

[@kingkongz88]

Thanks for this reminder! When I was a kid this was one of my earliest 45's, one f my all time favorites and I still love it (musically at least if not the corny lyrics).

[@beedeegee9374]

Your expressions and movements in this reaction just made me so happy! 💜

Jamal- I’m a 59 year old white guy from the northeast. I can’t possibly explain how much I enjoy watching you react to some of my old favorites: Steely Dan, The Band, Boz Scaggs. As you said : doesn’t matter who you are or where your from.

[@jml-rj5re]

Got some Steely Dan-like vibe. This is a CLASSIC. One of the best songs of the 70s.

[@RSPDiver]

Doctor Mu Good take!

[@rcdolphin714]

One of the greatest songs ever written! Never get tired of it.

[@nightowl1851]

I listened to this song yesterday in hopes you'd listen to it today. I wasn't disappointed. I'm going to start doing that for every song I want you to listen to!

[@herewegokids7]

I heard it on car radio yesterday driving the kids to school!

[@timfarrell6968]

Jamal, it does my heart so good to see a youngster like you diggin' the music I grew up with

[@timmypyron2830]

Don’t let the sun go down on me. Elton John and George Michaels live. Chicken skin and goosebumps guaranteed

In my high school yearbook,songs were matched to our pictures. My song was Geen Eyed Lady. I was pleased since I loved that song and still do.

[@barbaragibson612]

So excited you did a reaction to this one, especially the long version! One of my all-time favorites!
