    I love it when you 2 dress up in the 70's outfits. It looks great on you both and you would have fit in perfect back then. I was there and know that right down to the jewelry and glasses, you both have it absolutely on point!

    This was actually a remake of a song released by Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes. It was offered to Diana Ross as a "follow up" song to her Love Hangover but then was offered to Thelma instead which earned her her one and only Grammy award, Best R&B Vocal Performance, female, beating out Natalie Cole, Aretha Franklin, Dorothy Moore and Diana Ross, lol. She didn't attend the Grammy's thinking that with that much star power she had no chance of winning so said she was at home mopping her kitchen floor when she won, lol.

    Thelma Houston is FIRE! One of my all time favorites. I'm so glad Diana Ross didn't record this one and I'm a huge Diana Ross fan. Thelma was talented, sensual and always left me wanting more.

    1:01 - HAROLD MELVILLE & THE BLUE NOTES featuring Teddy Pendergrass released 'Don't Leave Me This Way' in 1975. It was covered and released by Thelma Houston in 1976, and British duo The Communards in 1986. Both versions achieved commercial success.

    Heard this song for the first time in a packed theater in San Diego, California back in the 70's. It was part of the soundtrack from the Movie "Looking For Mr. Goodbar", starring Richard Gere and Diane Keaton. The ending was a real shocker. Nobody said a word and quietly walked out when it was over.

    True, I heard also that "Don't Leave Me This Way" was originally assigned to Diana Ross and Thelma Houston was originally assigned "Do You Know Where You're Going To." However, Motown switched things up and gave Thelma ""Don't Leave Me This Way" and gave Diana "Do You Know Where You're Going To" for her Movie "Mahogany."" You can hear Thelma Houston's version of 'Do You Know Where You're Going To' here on UA-cam as well.

This song & y'all's outfits, brought to mind a WONDERFUL film/show i'd love for y'all to react to on *Netflix called, ***"The Get Down"***!!! I think it's SUPREMELY slept on & i can GARANTEE that y'all will dig it, Jack!!!lmbo...but FOR REAL!!!

    On a different note. You guys need to do a tune that nobody has reacted to yet and it’s a pure soul funk classic…. Gwen McCrae - 90% of me is you.
    Plus she also did the fantastic disco tune - Keep that fire burning and the groove classic- Funky Sensation.
    But so far, as far as I can’t find, nobody has done 90% of me is you. 🥰😎🔊
