There's been no other ERA OF MUSIC Like this time period !!! ... ALL THE GROUPS JAMMED !!! ... All the MUSICIANS MADE THEIR OWN MUSIC , SANG THEIR OWN SONGS ! ... Beautiful Era , l thank God he allowed me to witness it personally !!! ...
I'm so blessed to have grown up listening to great music 🎶 artists like this group and many others from the old school era, Real music 🎶 no sampling of someone else music 🎶. We don't have musicians like this anymore.
Wow i Love you Bill Summers for this wonderful Treat, Its so true we made it SOUL Train the dream of every Artist. Whats up with the reunion.?????????????
Yo, I was just listening to this record yesterday. My homeboy gave me some records before he had to move back to Memphis, while we both stayed in Murfreesboro ( both graduated of M. T.S.U). Once I left Murfreesboro myself and moved back home I finally listened to this record in particular. This Joint is straight roller skating music!!! Just having fun. Damn, good music never dies and gets old!!
Lary was my counselor when I sang with the Oakland Children's Chorus Every year at summer camp he would play taps and revele on the trombone... I love that dude!! salute!!
Good to see what you looked like. You were definitely one of my favorite bands in the early 80s beginning with 'Call It What You Want' through the 'London Town' album. I still have 'City Boy Lover' in my music playlist. I haven't been able to quite make out all of the lyrics but still great stuff. Thanks Bill and your talented crew for great music and great time that went along with it!
I keep watching this video thinking bill brough the heat. This, Call It What and We Call It The Box all got that funk. I can hear Kevin Toney's influence of course after i found out he produced and wrote with Bill Summers. He learned from Donald Byrd and Bill with Herbie Hancock. And the female singer be getting down. Love it. I'm playing it again.
back when there was real horns drums and synths,,,a nice mix,,,digital drums and analog drum machines were around in 82,,,but a lot of bands were not using them yet
Not trying to be funny but man you have to admit, every time a white dude shows up on Soul Train, they steal the show! The trumpet player here, he showed out. Now Bobby Rodriguez, a Hispanic trumpeter, did an appearance with the Brothers Johnson. He showed out. Stan “Bebop” Martin, a trumpeter, did 2 appearances. One with the LA Boppers and another one with The Gap Band. What did he do?, He showed out. All these videos are on RU-vid.
I just saw your comment... Thanks! That was me on trumpet... Jeff Lewis. I have met Bobby Rodriguez and know Stan Martin too (he always had great moves)... both great players. For the last 20 years I have been a member of TIERRA from East LA. Catch us at The Honda Center in Anaheim tonight (NOV 30, 2019.)
Jeff Lewis ok now, I’m star-struck! Great work man. Thank God for RU-vid. People need to see the hard work, the grit, the blood sweat and tears and the sacrifices that went into producing great music. You were indeed beyond awesome!
@@jefflewis8826 Jeff Lewis, the first thing that came to mind watching your performance was Passion!. Your having fun man. I'm jealous. I wish I had learned how to play the horn. Thanks man!
