Dunno why I never heard this song before, but it is a phenomenal new find for me from the 1970s. Street People by Bobby Charles. Been on heavy rotation on my player for a few months now. Just googled... the backup band Was 4/5ths of The Band (minus Robbie Robertson). Should have figured that out from listening to it.
I don't know what it is, and I'm pretty certain I'm the wrong demographic (), but I like this song skip the first 1m 45s
