The summer of 1976 was among the BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE! Good Times ❤❤

The Crusaders wrote this song and originally released it in the early 1970's. But in 1976, SideEffect turned this jazz piece into a very dynamic masterpiece with that funky bass line. The chorus was very simple with only one phrase - the title to the song. Then the jazz organ sets the ultimate mood of the song with that gospel feel emancipating the soul from deep within. The trombone follows to end. This piece piece brings you to your knees or have you religiously search for divinity with open arms.

SideEffect leveled this song up from the Crusaders version!

​​​​@dfosborne2 No. You can't beat the original. Smoother in every way. The added "why don't you keep that same old feeling" vocals on this version is such a weird decision, doesn't add anything to the song and actively distracts from it. The trombone solo was good on this version, but so was the original.

1976 I was sixteen years old when side effect came out with this song keep that same old feeling. I had the album also. And 2 this very day I love this song by side affect. They sure don't make this kind of music anymore.

I remember when I was in high school in the early 70's in Phoenix Arizona when low riders and cruising down Central Ave up to South Moutain and park the hoopdies and pop the 8 track of Side Effect in the ride, watch the honeys cruise up to your car 8 to10 deep . Man what a life we lived.

This reminds me of my mom and here 1976 4door Buick Electra she had this in her 8 track and us driving down Lake Shore Drive on Saturdays. This song bring back some great memories.

This one of the songs that defined the 70's

My childhood 12 years old in 76. Growing up in Jersey City projects. All we had was each other. The village. Life was good!

It's sounds so good to hear real instruiments!! I love this version too!

This song feels so Good and Brings back so many GREAT memories!!!!!! ........I'm in TEARS!

I was stationed in Germany when this jam came out was missing the U.S.

Memories hearing my Brother Porky Jammin this Jam in his Regal with Supreme Rims sound good Today as it did Back then Love You Brother Pastor Porky RiParadise 🌴🌴💯💯😎😎🙏🙏

This is a musicians groove. We got to get the new generation back to playing live. You can tell R. Kelly 's Step In The Name Of Love has that "Same Old Feelin" Peace and Happy Holidays to all.

Now this is great, classic music,please Almighty God give me the 1970's again!!!

freshman in high school, just getting my understanding of jazz, my girlfriend's dad had every popular album including jazz, awesome stereo system.

This is the feeling! I saw Augie Johnson's Side Effect @ a Hollywood Sound Studio 2 weeks ago. Augie said he was preparing for a tour. They sound great!!! WoW. They signed a copy of the New Album "It's About Time" for me. Keep that same old feeling...

Back in the day. Good R & B music. Miss those days

I had almost forgotten about this group. I was looking through some vinyl at the Mad Platter a record store that keeps LPs alive here in Riverside California and I ran across this album. Good stuff.

I love Side Effect music and Jazz Crusaders.

By far the best version of this song! Fabulous, atmospheric tune, takes me back to the long hot Summer of ‘76, listening to legendary DJ Robbie Vincent, who presented the show with a croaky voice - he had a bad cold at the time! 👍😍

I'm so honored to have met Augie in Long Beach 3 yrs ago at his favorite eatery. I kept looking at him and was wondering where I've had seen him before... Then it hit me... Hot Damn! Its the singer from Side Effect!!!! I wasnt sure if Cat was his wife-girlfriend, so I approached him. I told him I was such a huge fan. He was completely stunned once I told him I'd loved Side Effect back when I was 11 yrs. old. Mikki Howard was lead singer. My favorites was" I Can't Play" & "Keep That Same Ole Feelings."... Well actually all of them..I bugged Augie about him doing a concerts. Asked for his cd. Augie promised to make me a cd. A day later Cat called. I went to get my cd. I went bragging to all my friends and family. Thanks Augie for treasure memories. God Got You. My deepest condolences to your family and friends. Yolie4gl

THIS SONG BRINGS BACK SO MUCH MEMORIES CLASSIC OLD SCHOOL.

Good Memories, Nice Song, we were young!!! Greetings from Italy

Warmth Beauty Love & Soul, The World's Best Looking Sound. WBLS NY, 107.5, In a Class By Itself!!!

I had this album over 30 years and this is the first time I seen the album cover since, It brings back many memories from my teenage years.

this are the days of me my pops and his Cougar and him bumpin this 8 track right here just Vibing and rollin thru. Thank god for my parents bringing me up on GOOD music...

This song came out 10 years before I was born but in my parents home, this was a cultural necessity.

WOW!!! HAD THIS ALBUM!!!! ALWAYS THERE WAS MY JAM!!!!!! 2019!!!!

That organ iced the much loved musical cake of this song. Then.... Horn. Yes.

I had to search hi and low to find this song i loved this album. It reminds me of lake Merritt on sundays good times!!

LUVIN THIS. IT'S BEEN TOO LONG. NEVER AGAIN. 💜💜💜💜👏👏😊

love this song !

I just played this LP the other. Pure, good music.

Yes, back in the day we were so young, perfect memories of saturday nights in London. two step slow grooves at 01 00

This is smooth from side effect , hell all of there music is smooth

That organ solo was off the chain! I remember hearing this in 76 and that solo was the only reason I would listen to this track...Great rendition of the Crusader tune.

Yep this is music! Good after 35 years!

Oh, yes!! Wow, this takes me back to happy, carefree days (senior year in high school). Such sweet memories... thanx so much for posting this!! (why can't music be this good anymore?)

This is the kind of music that gives you goose bumps back in the day til now!!!!

RIP Augie Johnson!!

I was a Newlywed and only one year in DC when this came out..Bliss;)

Amazing how some songs just stay with you. I first heard this song when i was six years old back in 1976; I remember there was this huge rainstorm in my native Trinidad and this version just heightened the overall atmosphere; the cool winds, the roar of the showers--so, whenever a downpour's about to happen, this is the first song I hear in my mental soundtrack. Keep that same old feeling, indeed.
