      AINT THAT A FACT, we actually had the best in music, music today can’t come close to it.
      Most of the time they’re sampling music of the 70’s and still can’t come close.✌🏾♥️✊🏾

    Mid-70's, or so, I was about 13, I went to visit my brother in Berkeley Ca. He was maybe 16, when he took me for a walk late at night, and with the cassette player he held on his forearm, he says to me, "Hey kid, listen to this."
    He pops in the tape, and out came this music that I had never heard before!
    Damn, brings on the tears.

    They opened for Clapton at that awful “comeback” concert in 1973 at the Rainbow - and completely stole the show. Many of us bought their debut album the very next day.
