I bring them back because I have an extensive album collection with all of that stuff and I'll just love it I love listening to the music and going back in time a little bit feels good sometimes

As a former musician, vocalist and bass player I can tell you from my interactions with fellow musicians over the years there are so so many of us that are happy to be from the upstate S.C. and look up to Toy Caldwell as a singer, song writer, guitarist and IDOL . First time I heard "Can't You See" I was waking up (half way) that morning and thinking I had written that song (dreaming) and wondering how it got on the radio so soon. lol

Many might not know that Toy was an injured US Marine during the Vietnam war. I still try to learn if his service was heroic. Yet once a Marine always a Marine. I thank him for his memory of service.

Toy's guitar style and song writing couldn't be duplicated so it made him the most irreplaceable member. The thing that I think is most unique about their music, and is what drew me too them, is the additional talent of Jerry Eubanks. His alto sax and flute parts in many of their songs just took this band to remarkable heights in southern rock. It was a once in a lifetime blending that stomped your feet while electricity shot up and down your spine. Boy Howdie!

This song came up on my KZread homepage for some reason, I’d never even heard of them before so I decided to give them a listen, it was the flute that kept me on board during the intro to keep listening.

Grew up with this music riding around drinking beer and having a blast 1978

First heard this song 50-years ago and it still never fails to stir the deepest of emotions. Incredible !!

Wow!!!! What a voice. This is one song that has zero imperfections. Absolutely, perfect!!!!

There will never be a band as pure as this one.

from canada, southern rock was always the best!

This song takes me way back to 1973. So much feeling and heart ache in this song. Me and three of my best friends got high and piled into a car and headed for Texas Hall at the University of Texas at Arlington. It turned out to be an auditorium that would hold about 5000 people, but only 3000 showed up. The concert was billed for Jo Jo Gunn, The Marshall Tucker Band and Robin Trower. We knew a lot about Jo Jo Gunn but very little about the other two bands. We sat at the front of the balcony, looking down on the stage and boy o boy were we ever blown away by all three bands. We loved southern rock and Marshall Tucker was medicine for my soul. One of the all time great concerts that I have been to.

Extraordinary song. It makes me wish I was there in person to see and hear this awesome live performance of "Can't You See". Toy Caldwell was a true talent. Sad that he passed away early. :( I was a Junior in HS when this performance happened. Great times, the 70's were a weird but fun decade, especially the early 70's. What I like best about the music from this time is that the live performances weren't overproduced with all the lights and video and special effects. Just good musicians playing awesome music and putting themselves out there. GREAT!

So raw. What talent for 20 and 30 yr old men. Nothing today even compares.....

Every once in a while a song is written that finds the perfect blend of melody, lyrics, harmony or great vocals, lead solo's that are in scale, and skilled musicians to play it, Which makes a song become magic, and a classic forever.
