I was in high school.  I loved that song.

In junior high, listening to this song on KFRC AM -- or K-101 FM.

I was a military wife spending 4 years in Honolulu. Can't complain about that.

The song was released in the Fall of 1971, so I was a freshman in college.

Junior in high school.

 

I loved listening to R&B, Motown, Rolling Stones, Cat Stevens.  I remember picking up my best friend and driving to school listening to Jim Kerr on WPLJ.  Woman LOL

I don't remember that particular song (I was 9!), but I do remember Oh Girl (love that song!) and watching Soul Train Saturday mornings when I could get control of the TV from my older sister!

 

Fun post!  Thanks for posting @ECBG !

I think I watched both, Seasme Street AND Soul Train!  I was 9 in Puerto Rico, where we spoke Spanish and English was a subject matter in school, and Seasme Street was unusual programming with its great graphics and muppets.  I enjoyed it though it was targeted to a younger audience.  Unlike anything else on my TV then.
