True that! Have you ever tried to find out what happened to the black R&B music of the era? I never hear any of it playing anywhere. There was loads and loads of it, beginning in the 1960s. 😊☺😇😎 Once, while serving the internet, I ran across one artist of the era. And what emerged from the algorithms were loads of those old tunes waiting to be forgotten? Strange.💯 Class of 75.
WOW! I always heard the song a lot. I knew it was very, very@@austinteutschmuch. I like it. And hearing it again. I like it again and I thank you so very, very much. It made me feel good all over again. God bless you.
To be honest, this is the first time I hear this song, although I was around in the '70's. But I'm on a memory lane travel on YT, and this came in view. And I like it, even if it's more than 50 years too late. That's the best of YT, lots of people saved this kind of recordings and took the trouble to post it here for people like me to enjoy.
@@alanhughes5868 When you have 78 candles on your birthday cake, you may not think a person aged 81 years is old. Anyway, "Band Of Gold" never gets old ☮️ brother
@@alanhughes5868 What a blessing to even get old because the only ones who stay young are the ones who died young. Ms Freda ought to be able to share some nugget of wisdom she has gained in her 81 years.
Hell yea! Nothing like the 70's! All the different styles of music was better back then, Motown, pop, country, disco, you name it! The 70's had so many different styles of great music back then. Great dance music in every category! 70's👍
@@yvonnepeters1914 , oh a 45mm, oh wrong era,, I get ya,,! I couldn’t find those lil red plastic thangs too that made records play ,,it centered my 45 double sided records , now u might get shot saying my neighbor is playing his 45’s again too loud,,,
Listening to this, oh my God, i miss music like this. Tearing up big time! I'm 70 yrs. old. Music like this is gone forever! When i leave this earth, this will be one o the songs that will be played ar my memorial. Music like this is FOREVER! 🙏😇😉👍😎😍
Said that again I always tear up in the beginning then I get happy remember this song it 1970 when I was 5 living in a hippie house with blacks and white in west phila on 63 st
I was so lucky to have this type of music in my life throughout my childhood. It got me through some pretty tough times in my teens when my parents separated and the family disintegrated. Thank god for 60's-70's music. Great memories.
65 y.o. Raised in Philly and the sound of soul. This tune reminds me of the summer we spent in Atlantic City. 5 of us kids, having fun. Wow, so long ago. Sigh
73yrs old and still loving this, please please take us back to these times, love the outfit, gorgeous woman. No obesity in sight, we all did our exercising on the dance floor to music like this, no need for gyms we baby boomers were soooo lucky❤
This was in the next to play for my RU-vid session - I think Freda Payne still looks good many years later - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_oYpqgYdjq8.htmlsi=PA-6s2ETUWb2JFem
I got to duet with this beautiful lady on uk tv back in 1971 a great honour she was so coooool thanks FREDA jve ps Holland- Dozier-Holland the best in the business back in the golden times, bless them.
Brilliant song sung by a beautiful singer with a great voice! Oh we were so blessed then back in the 60s and 70s with all the vibrant music being released. This song and the artiste are truly authentic. The song - one of the greatest hits ever made!
@@Deborah-so8mv No, that is incorrect - it's not about marrying a gay man. Read what the composer said: Dunbar continued: "They said this song is a smash in the gay community. And I said, gay community? They said, yeah man, it's a smash. And I says, why is it that? And they said, well it's what the lyrics are saying. She said the guy couldn't make love to her so they figured he had to be gay! And I said oh no! And I remembered when they said that to me and I listened back to the song and there was a part in there... because I remembered when we were editing that tune, it was too long, so we had to cut a section out of the tune so the section we cut out of the song really brought the whole song [story] together." The lyrics which Dunbar cut in the final edit which he was referring to were made to reduce the length of the single from three minutes 43 seconds down to the final two minutes 53 seconds. These were taken from the first verse - "And the memories of our wedding day, and the night I turned you away" - these were effectively substituted with, "And the memories of what love could be, if you were still here with me"; and a larger bridge - "Each night, I lie awake and I tell myself, the vows we made gave you the right, to have a love each night." - which is repeated again later in the song, cutting 18 seconds twice over from the song. With further refinements in the arrangements, including a heavier, richer bassline, and a different vocal take, a further 14 seconds were shaved off the final released seven-inch single.
This song was on 20 Dynamic Hits in Australia. My Mother bought it for us along with some other compilation Hits albums of the day. "Band of Gold" made a huge impact on me as a 10 yr old.
I was 16 when I first heard this song - I’ve loved it ever since. We did grow up in the most wonderful musical era and we were so lucky!!! We got to experience all of this great music first!!!
I grew up listening to this song and I never get tired of it.I love Freida Payne

When I was a kid, (I'm in my 60's now) but Freda Payne, Elizabeth Montgomery, Barbara Eden, Lola Falana, Diane Carroll, Audrey Landers, Jayne Kennedy, Angie Dickinson, Phyllis Davis, Chelsea Brown I could go on Susan Anton, there are more, but those women tripped my trigger! Lawd have mercy! That's why I know racism is taught because I didn't see what color they were, I just saw how BEAUTIFUL they all were, and still are. Beautiful memories from my youth! 👍
Our generation had it so good and didn’t know it til now. The music had meaning and you felt the emotion in every song. Some left you sad and broken hearted, but you always felt better 😊
