Saw Delbert in about 1981 in Athens GA. He was knee-walking drunk, could barely stand up. But he never missed a note. Before the first song he looked at the audience and said, "Y'all don't think I can do it, do you?" He did.
I became a Delbert fan in the late 70s when a friend in high school introduced me to his music. I've seen him live 3 or 4 times and it is always a great show. The man is an institution. This is one of my favorite songs of his too...needs more cowbell though. ;-)
I have raised 3 kids by myself 17 years and they are just about grown I met a man on Facebook about 7 months ago February 3rd I've been single all these years and I go see fireworks and they're singing your song and me and him were listening and I'll send it to him God is good thank you for your voice and sharing your life with the world may God bless you and your family like you have blessed me and the man that I have fell in love with
Loved doing this song with the “Goodtimes Band out of Augusta Ga. We played a variety of music during the 70’s-80’s for weddings, Shrine and Elks clubs, American Legions etc. From a distance our sax player, Hugh Inglet glasses hair and all favored this guy. He could blow note for note on all those great songs. One of our favorites Hugh got us to learn was “Shaky Ground” which he used his new style tape machine sound effects. Great memories.
I was a student at U of Alabama in 1979 and he gave an outdoor concert in Tuscaloosa. I'm not sure if the audience knew him that well at the time....He played a set then took a break, and low and behold walked into the crowd during the hiatus. He stood right next to me and I think he was smoking a cigarette, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I remember thinking this dude is extremely cool to walk out into the crowd and just chill during the break. I remember speaking to him but don't know what we said, I just observed he was really approachable and very cool. I'm positive he played "giving it up for your love" that day, I'll never forget it.
I saw this cat at The Grand Emporium in Kansas City. Man he can rock and sing the blues too. It was awesome. I don't think anyone in the whole place sat down during the entire show. WOW!
The first time I ever heard of Delbert was in about 1995 when I won tickets to his concert. I have been hooked on his music ever since! If you have never seen him live you have to go when he plays in your area.
Some of his songs, have a good,but sometimes pain in them for me,my ex passed away in 2006..he was a soundman for many great bands,but turned me on to Delbert..songs he sang to me...I can now handle listening to his music again..Time heals all wounds..Staying present

I'm an ol' man....way past 60....grew up listening to and going to see Delbert...and yes I feel sorry for people who didn't get to see the evolution of music, like people of my age have........from the 40's through today.........but..."The Beat" does go on....and on..and......
you know what is awesome about 70's music? the top 40 charts might have a bluesy song like this great one, a stevie wonder song, a donny osmond song, a country crossover, a novelty song... in other words, the charts were one big melting pot, so as a youngster i was introduced to many genres just by listening to the radio. nowadays it's the same cookie cutter stuff and most of it is crap. i really feel sorry for young people of today.
You gotta love Delbert, he's a unique talent and ultra cool. I just came from watching videos of another of my favorites, Eric Clapton. Can you imagine a jam session with these two?

He used to play in a bar I frequented in Westport CT.....back in the late 70's. Johnny Winter lived close, and would pop in....James Cotten, Muddy Waters...God I miss those good old days

@@toyyoda3710 I don't know who Texas Thunder is, nor do I care. It's amazing that the New York Yankees have a winning record year in and year out with such a small payroll that they have to work with. It's not like they have a ton of extra money that almost all of the other Major league teams don't have.

Check out "Midnight Communion" by Delbert. That whole album is a classic. I forget the the name, but he masters the blues, country, pop, rock,....you name it, Delbert delivers.
I rarely get any braggin rights but here's one for real...Back in Okc, Don and I worked for a husband and wife team...the band was called ---"Leen 2 Plus 2"...Don and I were the "Plus 2" and John and Tammy Leen were the "Leen 2". We had a great time playing and Don was easy goin, a master of his instrument and just a lot of fun to work with. We were all thrilled when he got the call to join up with Delbert. You Rock the House Don...Warren said this~
What year is this? And where is this form? Austin City Limits? Pretty Cool......................Delbert's the Man. Don't really understand why he is not HUGE. Been making great music for YEARS!!

Well I can under stand wanting to hear the studio version but..... anyone who has seen Delbert live I think will tell you live beats studio on every song you will find here. In fact an 8 minute version of this song is one here somewhere and Don Wise does some sax work that is amazing. He lays it down durring the song and the blows a solo for about 2 minutes. Delbert is signing things at that point. If you look in my favorites it is there.
I love Delbert's music. BTW, does anyone think that he resembles Charleston Heston (if Chuck had a different hair style and when he was younger, obviously). I think it's the eyes and bone structure in the face.
