The song is describing a type of car that pimps and drug dealers used to drive in the seventies.Lincoln mk V and Cadillac El Dorados were popular examples.They had a sunroof with a vinyl (landau)top that covered the rear window leaving a small opening in the middle,typically in the shape of a heart or a diamond ,hence the term Diamond in the Back. The tires had wide white walls. The message he is sending is that you don't have to have,or strive for these material things in order to be somebody.👍
Yes those were the days and this playing on the radio sitting on the stoop watching one go by, I can still see it. Great groove that fit the scene.
Many folks mistakenly think this track is the great Curtis Mayfield. There is even a video of this song on UA-cam that's labeled Curtis Mayfield and has Curtis picture and has millions of views. This cut is a stone cold classic.
UA-cam should have made the person who posted that video take the photo down.I love Curtis Mayfield(RIP)but I'm sure he wouldn't want credit for someone else's work.✌
@Rag yes love Curtis too but hate when people post things incorrectly. They should do their research first, and You Tube should pull it down
Timeless Classic.
Pure soulful funky perfection. Philly soul is the stuff.
You on FIRE today with the reactions....this is a 1974 MONSTER JAM....one of the great hits from the 70s....William was a one hit wonder but what a hit....just a sidenote....love how you judge music by production value.....lol....back in the day nobody thought about production they just loved a great jam....i just find that funny....damn youngins
Back in the day I think we concentrated more on the message of the song and the production came natural to us. We knew a great sound when we heard it. The message was our salvation....
A Funk and soul Masterpiece
"knew from an episode of Martin"......Oh, lord, help me!!! SMDH!! JJ glad you finally heard the original.
Yeah, it kinda hurts when young people associate this by knowing it from an Episode of Martin.....sigh....
I think it's great when tv and movies keep great old music alive. So many UA-cam videos of great songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s, the comment section is filled with people who heard it somewhere else and liked it so much, they searched out the original. It's one way of passing on the greats to the next generation! :-)
Str8 pimpin' The message is definitely in the 🎶 This was my Dad's favorite song...my siblings and I couldn't escape it 😩 😁
@FAQX _ 💯
A stone cold classsssssic!
Undeniably R & B Classic Bro Everyone Was Singing This When It Came Out 😂 Yo A Lot Of People Thought It Was Curtis Mayfield 🙂🙂
True.
I was in High School when this song came out, it brings back awesome memories. 😊
I was in high school as well. Class of 75😊Ahhh memories…Loved this song. Still sounds great today!!!
This joint got me through when going to school. One of the top classics on my list. Glad to have the longer version with the solos.
Another massive D.C. talent gone but not forgotten-- Billy Stewart, I Do Love You. Martin is from D.C. area too.
Soul Funk classic !!! black folks driving anthem !!! // sampled to death especially west coast !!
This is a major jam, that stood the test of time...absolutely timeless. Thanks!
I. LOVE this. It puts me in the mood for some chill. You're gonna love The Staple Singers. I'll Take You There and Respect Yourself are in the same class as this. All of it is platinum!
Big Big Big Tune ....70's Classic Soul ... Always Love!!!!!
This classic was recorded in Phillys sigma sounds with MFSB
That look of recognition is priceless...
I remember going to my grandparents in NYC in the '70's and yes, you really would see "Superfly" Cadillac Eldorado's. I remember one time driving alongside one as a kid and actually being in awe of it! Purple, diamond in the back, Rolls-Royce style front-end, and fur lined interior. Now they're show cars!
Excellent song. Great reaction.😎👍
Oh ya, this was all over the place. Straight cruise to this for hours.
It has been a long time since I heard this jam. He sounds like Curtis Mayfield. Thanks my brother for playing it.
Had this on 45RPM 📻 back in the day. Loved it then and love it in 2021 ❤️
This was a great hit song back in the day. Great encouragement and the radio loved this song in NYC.
“Friends & Strangers” into! Nice!
I thought everybody knew this song. Claaaaasic!!!
These people was real forlks trying to make it in the music business, that worke regular jobs trying to make it in the music world.
I LOOOOVVVVEEE this song!!!
🔥Woooo Whooo Oooo 🔥
got the album still a total masterpiece hamond b3 organ still one of the best sounds ever on keyboard
Martin grew up not far from me in MD. So I'm in tune with his vibe. This was played to death on WHUR radio (Howard University Radio in DC).
👍Shout out to the DMV. D.C. my hometown!! My parents went to school with William DeVaughn.
Cool!
You really needed to listen to the full 7:12, abd catch the instrumental portion where MFSB really jams.
Still got the original vinyl 😊
Hi JJ! Classic! I date back to the early sixties, there's exceptions to every rule, but in general this time period is when black folk really respected and enjoyed one another. Peace!
This one is timeless and I always hear "diamonds in the back, sunroof top..." in my head when this song comes on. Nice feelings this song brings up for me! Summertime song.
Top tune!
Hell yeah
Great song! Also check out the cover by Massive Attack (from the UK), on their first album, BLUE LINES, 1991. The whole album is a classic.
This was def a Martin classic track. LOLOL
There's a message in the Funk
Oh yes!! I was about 14 when this came out... and the sound was definitely mesmerizing!! Certainly... the message was/is spot-on and relevant!! Great review! 🙂
Jammmmm
I think you are indeed the first person to react to this, and it was a beautiful reaction.
This song was a perfect reflection of the Message-laden '60's and '70's and the lead was a perfect imitation of one of its major proponents - Curtis Mayfield - but this is only 1/2 of the song. (The full version was incorrectly listed as "Diamond In The Back" by Curtis Mayfield!) - You MUST listen to the full version!!!: ua-cam.com/video/ZVANQheoRUw/v-deo.html. It features instrumentation by MFSB/Salsoul Orchestra featuring Vince Montana on vibes, who also can be heard on the full version of "I'm In Heaven" by Touch of Class: ua-cam.com/video/g58KMdaeCro/v-deo.html and "Run Away" by Loleatta Holloway ua-cam.com/video/8F11MygY7sk/v-deo.html. And, speaking of Curtis Mayfield, to appreciate his genius, please check out "Check Out Your Mind" (when he was leader of The Impressions): ua-cam.com/video/YiamtLrx1RU/v-deo.html, "We're A Winner" (from that same period): ua-cam.com/video/ikrLWEcDyGg/v-deo.html, "Don't Worry (If There's A Hell Below, We're All Gonna Go)": ua-cam.com/video/MnCpX4qRzCk/v-deo.html and "Move On Up": ua-cam.com/video/6Z66wVo7uNw/v-deo.html. Curtis was considered the "Martin Luther King" of Black music and The Last Poets, the "Malcolm X" (before Public Enemy).
You are too funny in some of these reactions .😂 True classic.
I first heard that line on that episode of Martin too!
Oh yeah, that intro... and , 'though you may not drive a great big Cadillac...' but remember brothers and sisters you can still stand tall'. One hit wonder, I believe. In my 20's driving to work and home and this would come on the radio, crank up the volume and sing at the top of my lungs and put me in an immediate good mood. TY
Great stuff again!
Great job again JJ!!!!!
Yes! There's also the cover from the early 1990s by Massive Attack, a British band: ua-cam.com/video/ffnzMBstT4o/v-deo.html
Massive Attack's version of this song is great too....
Damn! I haven’t heard this song in a long time. Great song great track great music great everything
This is a urban inner city classic got big airplay on radio and turntables.
Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes "You Know How to Make Me Feel So Good" rocks off the same track. Just like "Watching Ladies" by Slave & "Inside Out" by One Way.
Try blood is thicker than water,similar vibe
Very good song peace
Bom dia !!
Guess what though@ JAMMIN...TO the untrained ear... even i at a young age thought this was the great CURTIS MAYFIELD
Apparently a lot of people did.
@@JustJammin It's sad that one person posted one fake UA-cam video and fooled literally millions of people to accept a lie as fact. And worse still, UA-cam never made the uploader correct the lie. Who knows how much this cost DeVaughn in potential income?
Actually someone reacted to the song 11 months ago.
Ludacris sample this song
Bro can you please react to Brass Knuckles by Rupert Holmes really great and underrated song. Keep up the good work
Especially since you can appreciate the production on this song, you'll enjoy the long version ua-cam.com/video/_N03w0jmdK8/v-deo.html
Brooklyn Mike
For the the next rap album you review definitely do Ghostface Killahs 2nd studio album supreme clientele it’s as good if not better then Ironman in my opinion check it out
This song was song by Curtis Mayfield
No. It was not.
One hit wonder. Curtis Mayfield wrote this.
PLEASE do not spread incorrect information and discredit artist. Curtis did not write this song!!
It me, saw the album cover with Curtis on it. Not trying to discredit anyone. If it’s wrong information then maybe you should go about telling someone in a different manner that information isn’t correct and why it’s not correct. Not trying to take anything away from anyone. Very nice song from my youth. I bought it had Devaugh’s name on it, later thought I’d made a mistake when I saw Curtis’ face on the album. Take your anger out on the person responsible for that. I love the 🎵 song. No offense really.
Wow I guess please isn’t enough, I need to remember how sensitive people are these days and I can’t use incorrect it’s too harsh, sorry if I offended you so harshly.
@@patriciadavis5939 Don't take it personal. The problem is that it's disturbing how one person was able to fool literally millions of people with one fake UA-cam video. It proves how easily a lie can become accepted as the truth today.
Even more disturbing is that so many people don't care what the real truth is.
Calm down. I have agreed that the statement I made was not fact. I’m not one who tries to take away credit from those who create songs. I’m from a family of writers so I understand. There are spots on the internet that give’s Curtis the credit for this good peace of music from yesteryear. When bought to my attention I quickly gave brother DeVaughn credit. He’s fortunate to have fans that are loyal to him. Mr. Mayfield is not the creator of this jam.
