[@ByronDuhon]

Noth’in like 70’s Old School!!!!!!😅

[@brodocbetty4856]

Philly soul at its finest.

[@anthonymccrossan1212]

This is soul music . Absolutely Brilliant...I wish music was like this again.

[@peterbouma7178]

This is one of the best Disco Soul numbers of the seventies.

[@JJAH28]

My brother and I, two white kids living on the coast of North Carolina in the 1970's, used to listen to Duke Robert's Beach Party radio every chance we got and grew up to love The Trammps, The Embers, General Johnson & the Chairmen of the Board, The Catalinas...and so many others. Such great memories that I'll always cherish.

[@ulrichroesch9114]

That's the real music.... memories

[@TheUnfortunateFilms]

This is one of the greatest singles ever released.

I played this so much when I had cancer, it lifted my spirit, and yes I survived beating all the odds, as they said it was inoperable.

70s RnB, what an era that has sadly come and gone, blessed witness, sadly we will never experience this again as I sigh...

[@24scg]

Love them The tramps ❤

[@russs7574]

This track is, to this day, considered a Carolina Beach Music classic. My S.O. and I vacationed in the Outer Banks last year (in Duck, NC)...the first day, when we went down to the beach, we were greeted by this song coming from somebody's "boom box." We set up by the couple with the music, and they played practically their whole "Beach Music" playlist (the Band of Oz, General Johnson and the Showmen, the Tams, the Clovers, Willie Tee and on and on.)....best day of the trip. I love this song. I'm old enough to remember when those outfits were considered cool. 🤣🤣🤣

[@ronnythijssen4350]

I love it. It reminds me when I was very young and living in Antwerp (Belgium).

[@SylviaCunningham-pc7gx]

Great song. Glad to have experienced all these wonderful songs from the 70s and still be around.

[@mikepena2315]

I had the privilege of sharing the stage with the Tramps back in the 80s in Philly.

[@garrettgravatt5655]

That’s outstanding! My band (Dutchman) was given a “bottle of red” from Billy Joel. The wine case was a gift to his guitar tech, who happened to be involved at a venue my bandmate was apart of for the night. Graciously he was given instructions to hand us a bottle for being good lads. Small and great world, just gotta be there!
