      Me too and liked it back then. I'm a 79 yr old white guy but this always brought out the real me in taste. There's no protesting or hate going on with music like this. This love type song was welcome in 1970 and still welcome and appreciated.

      The Ateeyah: Having read your comment, I'm a white man and I was very much into this song back in the early 1970's it helped to stimulate and take away my frustrations as in like, being one of many who have had a hard time growing up. However I also understand your situations in an environment where you grew up, so when you mention "No Shootings" I don't think I an imagine how much all those good times & feelings were valued. Must have been just heart warming. Cheers

    Check this out. There is a station of sirrius/xm call soul town and ever six months or so they dig deep in the crates for long lost gem (at least to me). I just heard "Loveland." This is my song for the rest of 2023. It's still fresh. The lead vocalist/drummer Gadson is on point like no other of his time. "I have heard all about loveland! and all of its many charms."
