Me too. For some reason this tune is tied into my memory of hot summer days of the mid-70s. It always sparks memories of hearing it playing on the speakers at the stock car races after a long day of work.
Best of times then, none the craziness we have in this world now. This song will be forever in history as one of the greatest love songs of all time.

One my favorite songs, I have have seen this video 40 or 50 times. They do great singing it.
I used to love hearing this song when we rode in the car, down the old country road I lived on. My older adopted sister Liz was driving our Ford Country Squire station wagon, she was 19, and I was 9yrs.old. (1975) I used to stare at her alot, and watch her drive. I admired her, and wanted to be like her when I grew up. This song played on the radio, as she made driving a car look easy and effortless. We didn't have much to worry or stress about in the seventies.
Wow ths is real music ths is 2020, i was lucky to have lived in those days!!
Beautiful song back in the 70ds i love this song
We can see the band is not happy faking the song, but we still benefit from a great tune!!! Thx, Elvin
I was a teenager when I first heard this song. Yep.....still love it.

The pool song of my youth !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big hit in April 1976 on the pop charts
While visiting friends in California, I saw Elvin at the Longbranch in Berkley, CA on July 3, 1971. Next night, went the last night of the week long celebration of the closing of the Filmore West, July 4,1971. By 1976, I had "been thru about a million girls". Back in Texas, I met a hot girl at a night club. Got her number and called her the next day. First date I threw out my entire "little black book"! Dated for a year and got married on 7/7/77. That was 44 years ago. This has always been "OUR SONG". Just listened to it on Pandora a few minutes ago.
I'll always remember rollerskating to this and many other's back in the mid 70s

Elvin (the one in the denim vest and plaid shirt) wrote this for his then wife Jenny. They had a daughter together named Selina.They later parted ways. Both Jenny and Selina were later murdered by a brutal murderous mini cult called the Children of Thunder along with Jenny's boyfriend and a senior couple. A lot of people thought that the singer Mickey was Elvin. Great song with a sad history tied to it.

@@E.A.D.GGroove-tw4xvYeah, I love this song from the past, and I always like watching this video. And I agree with the above comment! I'm sorry to hear about what happened to Elvin Bishop's ex-wife and daughter! My own daughter is involved in an online chat every day, and in some ways this chat has control of her mind, somewhat cult-like. The leader is a young man from LA, and he is good looking and charming, and he has a way of manipulating everybody, and living in their heads rent-free! He has such control of all the members, that they all, (including my daughter), feel obligated to be present each day, and if they can't, or don't show up, then he makes them feel obligated to let him or others know why. I keep telling her that this sounds like a type of cult, and that she'll have to be de-programmed to get free of this!!

This is one of the best songs from the 70s. I remember the first time I heard it. A lot of good memories. They were so good much better than we have now ❤
In 1973 a bunch of headed to Naniamo to catch his concert, the plane was late so and show cancelled, ticket returns. Headed to a Cabaret on Front Street, not long after Elvin & the group gave us the best show. Memories just retired back & now seeing my 1st boyfriends from 72, he found me on FB. ❤

Didn't know until recently that it wasn't Elvin singing this great song. He wrote it and plays guitar. Even more shocking was finding out in the middle eighties, the group Chicago, after Peter Cetera left, was actually talking to the singer of this song to possibly come and join the group!
