On The Soul Train

This song reminds me of my childhood.It was 1973 and I was just a kid.Heard this song on the radio all the time.This was HUGE!

I always thought the intro to this song was genius (...how they ran through the first guitar riff with reverb, then ran through the riff the second time dry). I bought this song on 45 when it first came out, and played it to death! I still have it too. I remember my Grandmother giving me dirty looks when I played it because she thought I was too focused on money, rather than spiritual matters (...guess she really wasn't paying attention to the lyrics as much as the title). May she be resting peacefully.

I was getting my hair rebraided
the other night & New Jack City
was coming on BET... the opening credits
feature the remake of this by Queen Latifah & Levert

and I noticed how similar to the original
they kept the music (minus the new jack swing)

I always loved this song (The O'Jays version)
