#themainingriedient #everybodyplaysthefool
Baby boomer here, and yes this is pure 70’s sound. Love watching all you guys react to 60’s and 70’s songs…please continue ❤
The lead singer is the father of Cuba Gooding, Jr.
Really?
Do you mean Cuba Gooding, Sr?
Yes that's true
@@markmcallister9431YES. They even look alike.
They have another huge hit “Just Don’t Want To Be Lonely” 🥰
I actually like this song better.
Yes, I think this is a better song, but I love both!
How about You've Been My Inspiration, Spinning Around, Happiness Is Just Around the Bend, and Rolling Down the Mountain Side. They've had way more that one hit.
When u don’t know anything about the artist please be careful with your words..some family members of these groups are watching 👀
These guys and the Spinners were on the radio constantly in the Early 70s.
Even though The Spinners have been inducted into the National R&B Hall of Fame and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, it just feels like that group doesn't get the mainstream respect that they earned. They put out some absolutely timeless music and did it for at least 3 decades (1960s, 1970s, and 1980s). Very few bands of any genre or generation can accurately claim that type of success and longevity. After the marathon is over, it would be great to see the guys dip into The Spinners vast catalogue for a reaction. I was also thinking about the group Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose from the early to mid 1970s as well. They wouldn't fit in the "one hit wonder" marathon as they had two top #5 hits ("Treat Her Like A Lady" and "Too Late To Turn Back Now," a personal favorite from that era). Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose could be another real nice band to introduce after the marathon as well.
As a final thought, I did recall another interesting "one hit wonder" from the 1960s. The song "You Were On My Mind" was originally written by Sylvia Tyson, who was in a Canadian folk/country duo with her then-husband Ian. The duo recorded Sylvia's song in the mid-1960s, but it initially was not a hit in their native Canada or America. However, an American folk/pop group called "We Five," led by founder Michael Stewart (brother of John Stewart, a former member of The Kingston Trio, the writer of the song "Daydream Believer," and a solo artist with a hit entitled "Gold" during the 1970s). Apparently, Stewart rearranged Sylvia Tyson's original version of "You Were On My Mind," putting it more along the folk/pop sound that was picking up popularity throughout America in the mid-1960s. Sure enough, the We Five version of "You Were On My Mind" reached inside the top #5. The song was so popular that We Five were nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Performance By A Vocal Group alongside The Beatles that year, but neither band actually won the award. We Five did score another hit in the top #35 with the song "Let's Get Together." Fascinatingly enough, that song had its titled changed, it was rearranged a bit, recorded, and released by the band The Youngbloods, who made it a top 5 smash best known as "Get Together," a song which came to be viewed as a reflection on the notions of American subculture and pop culture in the late 1960s. Perhaps in a stroke of bad luck, We Five turned down the opportunity to record "Daydream Believer," which would go on to be a #1 hit for The Monkees in the late 1960s. As for Ian and Sylvia Tyson, they never had a hit song in America (beyond We Five's version of "You Were On My Mind") but they did achieve a #1 song ("Early Morning Rain" written by Gordon Lightfood), a top 5 song with a re-recorded and re-released "You Were On My Mind" in the early 1970s, with those two songs sandwiched between another top #25 hit in their native Canada. Both Ian and Sylvia Tyson would later be inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame and Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. Their song "Four Strong Winds" was voted in a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation poll (as of the early 2000s) to be the greatest Canadian song of all time. So, a significant amount of interesting developments for several different groups, all potentially started by We Five's recording of "You Were On My Mind," their "one hit wonder." This intertwined web shows how music can be such a crazy business with a lot of career defining dominoes that can fall at any moment.
Love The Spinners.
This song has everything! Horns, strings, luscious background vocals, straightforward lyrics, swinging groove and the amazing lead singer is the cherry on top. Awesome song!
Such a great old song from the 70s. Man we had the best music in the 60s and 70s.
TOTALLY agree!!
Well, before you do anything rash, Dig This
Classic!
Can you dig it?
I knew that you could.
LOL
I still have the 45!
The lead singer of this group, Cuba Gooding Sr. is, appropriately, the father of Cuba Gooding Jr.
I was going to type that exact same message and just did a quick scan to see if anybody else beat me to the punch so bravo
@@jeffchampagne5587 Being an old man I remember both when this song dropped for Cuba Sr. and when I first saw Cuba Jr. I immediately knew and saw the relationship.
The lead singer is Cuba Gooding Sr.
Their voices are even very similar❤❤❤❤
"Just don't want to be lonely" was a second hit for them. Good tune also.
Next in Marathon 🙏

@@Jude_196 Ha!!!
@@jgsrhythm100 😆
"Sweet City Woman" by the Stampeders is a great song. I think it's a one hit wonder. Need to also do more of "The Chi-Lites" and "Stylistics", wonderful groups of the 70's who aren't getting much play or reactions.
Nope, the Stampeders had a ton of hits - Carry Me, New Orleans, Oh My Lady, Wild Eyes and many more. Great suggestion though!
Nope. Not in the US where the boys are from@@Zebred2001 The Stampeders reached #40 with a remake of "Hit The Road Jack." In the US they are a one-hit wonder.
@@legman1476First, The Stampeders are a Canadian band and secondly, they had at least 3 charted singles in the US: Sweet City Woman, Monday Morning Choo Choo (charted low but still charted) and Hit the Road, Jack.
Chi-Lites was the first album I ever in early 70s, bought with my babysitting money
@@Zebred2001 The only hit that I know of was "Sweet City Woman", I don't think their other songs were big or successful in the U.S., maybe othe countries but I love that song.
Same group.."Just Don't Want to be Lonely " Treat yourself.
The Fall of '72. Good times!
Back then I never thought of music as black or white or R and B or Rock.. there was just GREAT MUSIC!! Like this!
The early 70s was still really the 60s. I don't think there is another decade with such drastic changes from beginning to end.
True, the Hippies from the early '70s could never have predicted the Disco/Punk movements in late '70s. The late '60s was just springboard for the '70s.
I forgot how good the lead vocals were on this song. I remember those flute parts as a kid.
Come and get your love by redbone
Absolutely! Love, love, love this song!
Heyyyy, heyyyyy…. ❤❤❤
Love that song!!
How lucky to have grown up in that decade!! Other similar groups include OJays, Spinners, Stylistics, Manhattans...
The Main Ingredients had more than one hit. This was just their biggest hit. They have some r&b classics such as You've Been My Inspiration, Spinning Around, Happiness Is Just Around the Bend, I'm So Proud (A Curtis Mayfield Cover) and Rolling Down the Mountain Side just to name a few.
It's fire. Still burning after 50 years.
The actor Keith Carradine had a one hit wonder - I’m Easy
Actor Cuba Gooding Jr.'s dad on lead vocals 😁
Listen baby, it may be factual, may be cruel.....
Boomer here. Great song ! Thanks guys
Cuba Gooding Jr. the actor, is the son of Cuba Gooding Sr. who sings in this group.
Gotta listen to Jimmy Ruffin’s What Becomes of the Brokenhearted.
"What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted" is a for sure Motown classic. Interestingly enough, Jimmy Ruffin scored another top #10 hit in America an incredible 14 years later with the song "Hold On (To My Love)." Another fascinating note about that song is that it was co-written and co-produced by Robin Gibb of The Bee Gees and Blu Weaver, the keyboardist for The Bee Gees during their peak of popularity in the 1970s. Perhaps in a musical irony, David Ruffin, Jimmy's younger brother and lead singer with The Temptations on such classics "My Girl" and "Ain't Too Proud To Beg," would go on to have exactly two solo hits of his own. Ruffin's incredible song "My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me)" was just inside the top #10 in the late 1960s and "Walk Away From Love" also peaked slightly better than top #10 in the mid 1970s. Two brothers, 4 mainstream solo hit songs, but truly amazing talents.
@@user-lq4qe7pj9s Walk Away from Love is a great one too. What Becomes of the Brokenhearted will always bring me back to Fried Green Tomatoes as it’s placed in a great scene.
Thanks for the reply. While Jimmy Ruffin's 2nd solo hit was on a different label, it is truly mind-boggling to consider that Motown had OVER 50 #1 songs on the pop charts from 1961 to 1985 during the time that Berry Gordy owned and ran the label. As one might imagine, the "classic" period for Motown's biggest success was 1961 to 1970, when the label had nearly 30 #1 hit songs in less than 10 years. From 1971 to 1985, the label was still extremely successful with over 25 #1 hit songs in less than 15 years. Here's a breakdown of the artists and groups that accounted for those top of the chart tunes (listed by number of #1 songs during that time frame):
*The Supremes: 12
*Stevie Wonder: 8 (Interesting Note: Given his incredible creative longevity and talent, Wonder sang the 2nd & 2nd to last #1 pop songs for Motown during this period)
*Diana Ross: 5 (Interesting Note: From her time as the lead singer of The Supremes, her solo songs, and her duet with Lionel Richie, Diana Ross sang or was part of singing co-lead on an astounding 18 #1 pop songs during this period)
*Lionel Richie: 4 (Interesting Notes: Between his lead singing work with The Commodores, his solo songs, and his duet with Diana Ross, Richie would sing or co-lead sing on 7 #1 songs during this time. Richie would also account for the final #1 song for Motown during this period)
*The Temptations: 4
*The Jackson 5: 4
*Marvin Gaye: 3
*The Commodores: 2
*The Four Tops: 2
*The Miracles: 1 (Interesting Note: The Miracles had 2 #1 pop hits during this period; the first was with Smokey Robinson as the lead vocalist and the 2nd was as a standalone group)
*Diana Ross & Lionel Richie: 1
*Thelma Houston: 1
*Eddie Kendricks: 1
*Michael Jackson: 1 (Interesting Note: As lead singer of The Jackson 5 and through his solo music with Motown, Michael Jackson would be the primary singer on 5 #1 songs during this time frame)
*Smokey Robinson & The Miracles: 1
*Edwin Starr: 1
*Mary Wells: 1
*The Marvelettes: 1 (First #1 pop song for Motown)
While I'm sure there are record labels out there that equal or perhaps exceed the total of #1 pop songs from this time frame, Motown releasing over 50 #1 songs in less than 25 years is a truly amazing accomplishment.
@@user-lq4qe7pj9s great stuff. As a classic rocker, who lived for concerts starting in 1976, I never got to see these artists live because I wasn’t smart enough to break out into other styles, but for some reason this music is still in my memory. Probably because radio played all kinds of stuff back then.
HEY - It's the MAIN INGREDIENT!!! :) THANKS, GUYS!! Am enjoying these videos: A BUNCH!!! :) HUGS, YA'LL!
Great R&B group from the 60's-70's. Interesting their name came from a Coca-Cola bottle. They had a lot of great songs such as "You've Been My Inspiration", "I'm So Proud", "Spinning Around (I Must Be Falling In Love)", "Just Don't Want To Be Lonely", "Rolling Down A Mountainside" etc.
There's NO exception to the rule!! I've always loved this one!
Love this old Soul Music! Cuba Gooding Sr. was a member of the Main Ingredient, joining in 1971. This style of music fell out of favor with the rise of Disco, starting around 1974. Try "Smiling Faces" by The Undisputed Truth, another OHW but a very hard-hitting song.
Love the percussion and horns underneath the vocal.
Everybody plays the fool, sometime.
Unfortunately, some of us never do anything but.
Great song.
The legend Aaron Neville did do a cover of it! You will love his as well!
“How can you help it, when the music starts to play and your ability to reason is swept away.” Soulful enough for me…
The Intruders - I'll Always Love My Mama
get the extended version. it has a great conversation in the middle
"Reflections of My Life" by The Marmalade is another good OHW.
One hit wonder .
100% Pure Poison- You keep coming back
I love this jam..brings back childhood memories 😊
Now do "Smiling Faces Sometimes," recorded one year earlier by another great-named band, The Undisputed Truth. 😎
Another good one - Walter Egan, featuring Stevie Nicks - Magnet and Steel.
Oh yeah! Do that one!
Love the Pink Panther hoodie! Now that's old school!
This is Sunday music, not Monday music, laid back and sunshine ready.
Awesome track and amazingly and painfully true.
This was a great, Grammy-nominated, soulful R&B tune from the early 70s. It had an excellent mix of talent, delivery and recording. Glad you guys had a chance to hear it and enjoy the groove.
You guys have been hitting some super great songs this month!
Yeah cuba sr took over for mcpherson and was their most successful singer
When I Die by Motherlode! About the smoothest Soul you'll ever hear!
Very popular song on Antique shops. 😊
The Jaggerz - The Rapper.......This ones fire too!
You've already heard Player with Baby Come Back. It was also a One Hit Wonder (OHW).
Youngbloods “Get Together”
Head East “Never Been Any Reason”
John Parr “Naughty Naughty”
Get Together is an awesome song. Still holds up today!
I do remember this song. Love it ❤
That’s still true today! No really, look it up. Coke still uses cocoa leaves for flavoring while removing the illegal part!
Popular song when I was in high school...it was a cool song!
Better make it a two hit wonder: "Just Don't Want to Be Lonely"
Excellent song...smooth as butter and such fantastic lyrics.
Another smash pick. I've been wearing out my "fire" button on your recent selections. Love the One Hit Wonder marathon!
You gotta check out "Me and Mrs. Jones" by Billy Paul, if you want a classic One Hit Wonder!
It was a smash in the '70's.
great song, and an even better life lesson
Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy...I can't wait!!
I believe they had more than one hit.
Oldie but a goodie! So now it has become an earworm, can't stop singing it. 😆Thanks guys!! Can I throw in a late suggestion? Wildfire by Michael Murphy. You won't regret it.
This wasn't dated at all for the early '70s. It was a very popular sound, early '70s Soul.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ best of the BEST
I had forgotten about this classic so thank you for bringing it back to the forefront. Love watching you guys react and interact.
There are SO MANY 1 hit wonders. You guys ROCK!!!! Tell Ty I said hi!!!! ✌
Talk about blast from the past! I swear I don't recall hearing that song on any " oldies" radio station ever. I was really pleasantly surprised when I saw your song choice You both really enjoyed it too which brought a smile to my face 😊 way to go guys 👍
Listen Baby, New York City.. this reminds me of hanging out in the Village.
Have heard this many times. Nice....
I suggest "Smiling Faces Sometimes" by The Undisputed Truth.
Another couple of one-hits Love makes the World go Round - Deon Jackson and I Do by the Marvellows
“Black Velvet”, by Alanna Myles “Walking in Memphis” by Marc Cohn “Alright Now” by Free….so many great one hit wonder songs to go!! ❤
I second "Waking in Memphis"!!
I lost count of how many times I've played the fool. 😢
This song rings true. We've all gone through it at least once.
Wow. You guys are going _waaaayyyyy_ back. 😎👌🏾
_-just hope that the rnb haters take a break and just let us enjoy the video-_ 🙏🏼✌🏽✊🏾
I believe the main ingredients singer was Cuba Gooding Sr.
Definitely a Motown sound, was popular in the top 40 stations. Good memories 😁
ua-cam.com/video/sZzZDbud7NM/v-deo.htmlsi=e6FNF1CUssaKR_Fp
Very good point about an adaptation of the early "Motown Sound" with this song, which could be a reason why Nick commented that it sounded "older" than the early 1970s. I could easily see the legendary songwriting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland or other great Motown staff songwriters coming up with this for The Four Tops or The Temptations in the early 1960s. However, the thing that tips off how well this song has been received and it is so brilliant are the number of times that it's been sampled over the years. From what I could find, it looks like it has been used in OVER 15 other songs from the late 1980s all the way to the early 2010s. That's an awful lot of artists, writers, and producers that have been influenced by this song in their own music. For anyone that might want to hear the instrumental only track, it is the above link at the top. Another super choice for the marathon and great reaction from the guys on this one.
Thanks guys
Lead vocalist: Cuba Gooding.
Yes. the father of actor: Cuba Gooding, Jr. !
That's some "good stock,' there!! 😛
[Cuba replaced original primary vocalist Don McPherson just about a year before this song was recorded (MacPherson was diagnosed with cancer, as I recall 😢😢😢)]
The Main Ingredient were, basically, a radio-friendly '60s soul vocal band, in the vein of (of course): Motown ("the capstone") and the later "Philly Soul" scene (created by: Gamble & Huff,
The Main Ingredient were out of N.Y.C. [Harlem, to be exact] and, so, showing that: "Nobody can count N.Y.C. out!" essentially... 😛😛 - You could say, in a manner of speaking: "a response to" Motown and Philly Soul. 🤷
I love you guys, and this show!!!
Smooth, funky and genius lyrics!
Good stuff. Remembering it fondly
Wow it's been awhile for me with this one. Yes, it definitely sounds dated but still such a cool groove! Forgot about the Dig this. I'm diggin it, thanks for the memories ❤
Love you guys!
This was the last of the Good R&B with style, that's what's lacking in to days so called R&B
Another lesson in the power of the Maj 7th.....great song. Major chords - upbeat, cheerful. Minor chords - sometimes sad, mysterious. Major 7ths - hope/sunshine might be around the corner....usually in the chorus after the bridge.
Music like this want you sing in your car...cause once you know the words you'll appreciate this song..cause music like this "tells a story"
I'll say it again, Nick and Ryan, please react to Sausolito Summer Night (1979) by the Dutch group Diesel. An earworm guitar riff from the very start that runs throughout the song, but then you are hit with consecutive guitar solos that are unexpected and amazing near the end. I will be absolutely floored, shocked actualyly, if you don't love it and don't exhibit a lot of head bopping.
The song is the story of a bumpy road trip experienced by young, cash-poor travellers.
"We left for Frisco in your Rambler
The radiator running dry
I've never been much of a gambler
And had a preference to fly...."
I dropped that one on the suggestions thread, back in the "community" (when that was goin' on), too. 👍👍
A unique, unexpected, unavoidable hit, that summer!
Very cool tune. Excellent memories.
"Earworm" qualities! 🤘🤘
[Plus: a Dutch band accurately 'discussing'/delineating the geography of California, always, adds something to the party! 😉😜😛👍👍]
TESTIFY!!! I was a teenager when this song was released. It was if someone had my life under surveillance. Great song!
Gerry Rafferty- Home And Dry
I know you've already gotten a bunch of suggestions, (and maybe even this one), but "Vehicle" by the Ides of March is one song that everyone seems to really enjoy. People mistake it for an early Chicago song.
I used to think it was Blood, Sweat and Tears that performed it.
I can see why you say that, Talley; the vocalist sound similar to David Clayton-Thomas of Blood, Sweat, and Tears, and the bands share that same jazzy, funky sound. @@TallyDrake
Hit fire before starting.
If not too late, may I suggest Gotye, Someone I Used to Know and New Radicals, You Get What You Give.
This song is right up your alley
Such a cool song!
Troglodyte by the Jimmy Castor Bunch Best one hit wonder ever!
My dad has this song on a record
KISS you all over by Exile. I think you guys will really dig it.
. Great choice. Would love to see you guys review "Diamond in the back" by Curtis Mayfield. Thanks!
