It was first played against Southern University 3rd weekend of September 1984 in the stands and now has been played by more bands than you can count. Ocean History. Footage provided by Ronald B.

I remember this TSU marching into Grambling stadium playing this song! They were very good and deep back then. All of the SWAC bands were better back then.

Went down a "Neck" rabbit hole and so glad it ended with this. The song sounds ageless and still so classic, in a funky kinda way.

🗣️ MOTION, BRING BACK THIS MARCH! Seems like ever since Danielle became coach, the march has changed… and, it’s upsetting me and my homegirls 😩

@tiyoshaturner5267 Ай бұрын

Uhm…that’s not a fair statement if I’m being honest. The march has changed a lot over the years and it really has/had nothing to do with Dannie. :)

I hear there's some debate about whether Texas Southern or Norfolk State was the first HBCU band to cover this song. Can anyone enlighten us on the history of who performed it first? Thanks.

@terrancecannon7048 Жыл бұрын

I'm glad you asked. The Ocean of Soul performed it first. We have another band that can corroborate it. Southern University Jukebox. In 1984 we played Southern during our 3rd game every year. It would have been September 15, 1984. We played it in the stands on them. You can ask them cause they definitely remember. Assistant Band Director, Prof. Sam Jackson wrote that song.

@@terrancecannon7048 Ok thanks. HBCU Gameday reposted an article on this a few days ago on Facebook and naturally it generated some comments. I read that NSU performed it first but that may not have been true. They only popularized it which that can be debatable. Thanks for sharing the insight. For me I first heard an HBCU play that song at the CIAA Tournament when it was here in Raleigh in the early 2000s. Only last year did I learn that it was an original Cameo song. Always thought that it was an original, unique HBCU favorite. Now I know a bit more. 1️⃣❤️ Bro!

@@ThinkWolfpack I've had to correct so many people and inform them that the HBCU Gameday article is incorrect. Probably the first time a MEAC school played it but was well after TSU played it(given the date indicated in the article). Also I was actually at the game when TSU first played it. I'm a PVAMU grad but have to give TSU their props.
