I agree. I like some of the new music ok, but there's nothing like a classic song with great music and lyrics. Vulgarity and profanity not needed. That is what stands the test of time.
You are right. Times are different and rap songs/beats is a different genre. Both are great in their own right but the soft/romantic side of r & b seems lost for me.
Every time I watch this performance I hold back tears reminiscing about being a kid in the 80s.My parents would play The Deele's album on cassette and their music would make me so happy. Still does bring a smile to my face.
“I only think of you on Two Occasions… that’s Day and Night” who ever thought that such simplicity in lyrics could translate to so much deep emotion. I miss 80’s R&B so bad…
Mckinley Underwood I agree with you one hundred percent this song brings back a lot of great memories and like you said it's when music was real it's sad that they don't have good like this group anymore this will always be my jam
Yes, never gets old, I say them Midnight Star, Guy, Ohio Players all in one night when I was in college in the Mid 80's. Midnight Star came from the same college Kentucky State University.. the 70's, 80's, 90', and early 2000's had great music. Most of the stuff out there now is garbage.
I don't know if you guys see it, when the cameraman goes to the audience, and people are in moment when they first heard this song. I think everyone has a two occasion memory.
Wow! I am blown away!! The depth, breadth, and quality of this live performance is amazing. Watching The Deele perform 30 years later (and watching Bell Biv Devoe perform 30 years later) you can see and feel the quality musicianship all the way around.
Absolutely NEVER gets old for me. Play this at least once sometimes twice a week. WHY? It makes me FEEL loved. Love you guys to life everlasting....xoxoxo
How I love this..They did that. The same moves, the harmonies. They still look and sound immaculate some 20 years after the release of the song. This took me way back.
Damn! That was flawless. Vocals were on point. Music was perfect. That's how you do it. Face sounds like he's in a vocal booth and LA murdered those drums. Wow.
I was a young man in the 80’s and seen them live. Search Soul Train...The Deele and this song. I used to sing back in the day and my voice is no where as good as when I was younger. They did an excellent job for their AGES....that’s a fact. But not better than the track.....stop smoking and clean those ears out once in awhile.
Wow takes me right back to the point when it came out I was 18 now I'm 53..... Wow I'm old. But the music is still awesome to go back and hear. Thanks for technology.......
Cause when he came to Indianapolis and Old National he performed all the songs that he has written for different groups and he showed out he always have an awesome performance
I still listen to this music. I never let it go. On my records, cassettes,cds even on my mp3s and digital now. Nothing beats old school tape deck baby. My kids love this music too,especially my 18 year old. Her and her friends are the next generation to keep this music alive. I'm so glad these guys are still around, they sound the same!
the Deele my favorite R&B group of old times that's what music was real I hope to God I can have an opportunity to see this group perform live one day because this song is one of my favorite games of all times
love it love them!!!! I was pregnant with my oldest horrible nausea, I was so in love with my boyfriend at the time. Who later became my husband... My son will be 28 in Dec. where has all the time gone..
Such GREATNESS! Face was inspired by none other than the legendary Jackson 5. This is why he put together one of the great groups of our time. The Deele! Still sound amazing! Thanks guys!
I guess I'm the only person here who was never into the Deele, so many other great bands/groups out back then they were not on my playlists until they let Face start singing lead, SWEET NOVEMBER 2 OCCSSSIONS, CHIVALRY, LOVERS, BODY TALK was aaaaaight...I was more about Debarge,Shalamar,Atlantic starr,NewEdition, on &on. They were just an okay group 2me, which is why LA&FACE left
My all time favorite song!!!!! I fell in love with my first true love during the release of this song!!!! Even though she left me 3 months later...I still play this song today and will always dedicate it too you...Aria Johnson!!! You will forever be my " Sweet November" ! God bless you and The Deele for such a beautiful song!!!!
Who's listening to this great one in 2020 Pandemic year? Terrific R&B hit - one of the greatest! Babyface truly makes this song for what it is and always will be. Timeless love song!
this song always made me and my family so happy sooner come on we would just sit down as a family and listen to it it brought so many beautiful memories and I listen again and I went back to yesterday and the magic was still there thank you young man you still got it
Crazy the talent this man been around and wrote for in his life for God Sake he have L.A Reid on the Drums Most Folks know Him as A Hip Hop Mogul But He's still The Musician With Face. UNBELIEVABLE
Listening to this makes me realize just how far RnB has fallen off.
I agree. I like some of the new music ok, but there's nothing like a classic song with great music and lyrics. Vulgarity and profanity not needed. That is what stands the test of time.
Agreed 100%
Jeffrey Phillips all music sadly😔
You are right. Times are different and rap songs/beats is a different genre. Both are great in their own right but the soft/romantic side of r & b seems lost for me.
You couldn't of said it any better!
This is arguably the greatest 80's r&b ballad of all time.
Sweet November!!!
I won't argue with you on that. It's my favorite R&B song ever.
Con Funk Shun “Love’s Train”
Fire and Desire, stop playing!
"All this love, is waiting for you....." Debarge killed that.
Babyface never lost it. Carlos and Dee sound the same too. That's amazing
The three amigos they sounded great the drumming was great to
hell yeah , coming from a 1988 shorty , been bumping it since I could read , wrote and talk
Carlos voice very distinctive! They killed it! And blessed to all be here🙏🏾❤
I was so impressed by this performance. They all sound great. True timeless talent.
Right?? When Real talent is talent and not auto-tuned! Ya know??
I'm glad LA and Face joined in the reunion.
Every time I watch this performance I hold back tears reminiscing about being a kid in the 80s.My parents would play The Deele's album on cassette and their music would make me so happy. Still does bring a smile to my face.
Me too...the best years
Angelique Soul Absolutely!!! Brings on such a good feeling...
Your beautiful face brought a smile to me the song is good .
Yess I know the feeling, 1988 I was 9 when this came out wow time flies
Awweeee. Frfr
L.A. Reid banged the hell out of them drums...he still got it!
Renee Red he look diff.too.they all.aged
Yes indeed
Christopher L. Garland Like fine wine....🍷
Renee Red
Renee Red even if learnplay drum in sleep. I am hope that future musician wisdom to protege as drummer,
I've said it so many times my generation was blessed with great music.
They're still all wearing the same sunglasses from the original video. Thanks for the memories...great song!
“I only think of you on Two Occasions… that’s Day and Night”
who ever thought that such simplicity in lyrics could translate to so much deep emotion.
I miss 80’s R&B so bad…
Same here!!
Still fabulous. That Babyface, smooth as silk.
He's still hot as hell
Shit BABY FACE ISIN A CLASS BY HIMSELF HE HAS SWWAAGG!!!!!!!!
Baby face look like he never age.
They are amazing...We need another Deele album in 2021
The Deele, miss those days, when music was so real.
Mckinley Underwood
I agree with you one hundred percent this song brings back a lot of great memories and like you said it's when music was real it's sad that they don't have good like this group anymore this will always be my jam
Mckinley Underwood and I love the way
Some guy was sitting home watching this on TV and started to record on his cellphone. I bet he never thought he would have 600k views.
I can't believe L.A. Reid still got it on the drums.
yea he nice on the drums!!! I was like wth!
The Electric West Yeah he is....
LA a BEAST on them drums boy!!!!!
ONCE A DRUMMER ALWAYS A DRUMMER YA HEARD ME? HOLLA HOLLA
Yup
It NEVER gets old! A timeless classic for the stone ages! Luv it then & still loving it! Damn!
Yes, never gets old, I say them Midnight Star, Guy, Ohio Players all in one night when I was in college in the Mid 80's. Midnight Star came from the same college Kentucky State University.. the 70's, 80's, 90', and early 2000's had great music. Most of the stuff out there now is garbage.
Cynthia Sanchez I love them lips of yours!
indeed; TIMELESS..........
True
Man they still sound just as they did back in the day!!
They absolutely did and had me checking for lip syncing but I'll never doubt them again..
you werent even born yet
@@SidewaysBurnouts I actually was 🤦🏾♀️
BABYFACE sounds the same or even better ... DEE AND CARLOS DONT SOUND THAT GOOD , lets keep it real here !!!!
This song is pure perfection. And the audience singing EVERY word SPEAKS volumes of the impact of this banger.
I don't know if you guys see it, when the cameraman goes to the audience, and people are in moment when they first heard this song. I think everyone has a two occasion memory.
Jason Byrd I did & I luvd it!
😂
I think you're right
Tapped into great memories💙💙
Lol, some of them weren't even alive, like Janelle Monae when this came out.
Damm we need a Deele reunion in 2024
Just like wine, better with time ❤️
“No matter what the season is, I still LOVE you with ALL of my heart. And I wanna be with you wherever...everrr you are...”💕❤️😍🥰😘
Kary Babii Your words cause an orchestra to play in my mind.
Gloria
LA was deep in the pocket on this, fantastic performance from the Deele
My first time to see LA Reid in action. Powerful
Wow! I am blown away!! The depth, breadth, and quality of this live performance is amazing. Watching The Deele perform 30 years later (and watching Bell Biv Devoe perform 30 years later) you can see and feel the quality musicianship all the way around.
I’ve watched this 50 times. I still get chills. They killed it
Absolutely NEVER gets old for me. Play this at least once sometimes twice a week.
WHY?
It makes me FEEL loved.
Love you guys to life everlasting....xoxoxo
DrCherylVernae Williams aaay, I even play it when I'm at the gym...lol!
Carlos n baby face still killing it❤️🔥❤️🔥
I told my wife when we met in 1975 that music will never be this good again. I stll believe I'm right.
How I love this..They did that. The same moves, the harmonies. They still look and sound immaculate some 20 years after the release of the song. This took me way back.
30+ years😎
@@staccatoglock I stand corrected..👍
You can tell the audience loves this song as much as we do!!
Damn! That was flawless. Vocals were on point. Music was perfect. That's how you do it.
Face sounds like he's in a vocal booth and LA murdered those drums. Wow.
This was just beautiful they didn't miss not one single beat! They sound better than the track 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Yep
I was a young man in the 80’s and seen them live. Search Soul Train...The Deele and this song. I used to sing back in the day and my voice is no where as good as when I was younger. They did an excellent job for their AGES....that’s a fact. But not better than the track.....stop smoking and clean those ears out once in awhile.
LA Reid and Babyface are absolute Forces in the music industry. So dope seeing them perform
Wow takes me right back to the point when it came out I was 18 now I'm 53..... Wow I'm old. But the music is still awesome to go back and hear. Thanks for technology.......
LA REID PLAYED THOSE DRUMS!!!💖💖💖Great group n Song.....#JAM
babyface voice is awesome live!
Cause when he came to Indianapolis and Old National he performed all the songs that he has written for different groups and he showed out he always have an awesome performance
Quana Taylor Kemp Babyface and 🤩Toni Braxton always sound better live, so different than these jokesters now, Ion know about these artist nowadays
2023 can't believe how good that was actually rivals the original astounding
This group was the foundation of Atlanta entertainment of all genres
Damn they killed that👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I still listen to this music. I never let it go. On my records, cassettes,cds even on my mp3s and digital now. Nothing beats old school tape deck baby. My kids love this music too,especially my 18 year old. Her and her friends are the next generation to keep this music alive. I'm so glad these guys are still around, they sound the same!
if you didn't fall in love with your girl back then, you didn't have a heartbeat. With music like this.
I still love this song. The live version is fire.
I sing this song to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ often. Thank you Lord for Loving me.
Man, it don't get any better than this song. A true classic and arguably one of the best RnB songs ever. And best of all they still sound great.
90’s R&B was the best!!
2019 and still loving this. The 88's and live revision.
Carlos still fly AF
Take me back!! Miss this type of music!

Good and that is precious. How have you two been married?
So sweet! I was 11 years old when this song came out. I loved it then and now my kids love it. Babyface ❤❤.
We are no longer married now, but those were great times.
Blessings
Such GREATNESS!
Face was inspired by none other than the legendary Jackson 5. This is why he put together one of the great groups of our time. The Deele!
Still sound amazing!
Thanks guys!
Actually they pulled him in. They thought he didnt have the right look at first.....LA and the crew were influenced by Prince and dressed like him
BF still sounds exactly like back when they recorded this !
I guess I'm the only person here who was never into the Deele, so many other great bands/groups out back then they were not on my playlists until they let Face start singing lead, SWEET NOVEMBER 2 OCCSSSIONS, CHIVALRY, LOVERS, BODY TALK was aaaaaight...I was more about Debarge,Shalamar,Atlantic starr,NewEdition, on &on.

Babyface songs-One classic after another-one hit after another! Imagine those days without him?? What a void that would be......
Damn I miss real music like this!

Back when life was good
When music was GOOD! Awesome share!
Who would thumbs down this song and clip? It's a beautiful song!! Love it!
What a talented group this is. No replacing the great R&B music of the 80's and 90's.
I must say at the age of 59 I never dreamed of falling in love again and this song continues to play over and over again in my heart....WOW!!!!
Music that sho nuff transports you back to having the phone to your ear and 3 hang up on 2 hang up.....was the way of life, back then! Peace!
Love! The Deele ❤
Beautiful Voices!
Who's listening in 2023?

So good to see how this song hits the audience in the spot only music like this can reach. Everyone grinning ear to ear the entire time.
30 years later, it don't get any better then this, gods work.
Give it up for Babyface!
That Drummer was Cold Blooded!!!
That's LA Reid
That's the man Reid!
One of my all time favorite songs. LA Reid did a helluva job on the drums 🥁. I keep coming back to this video. ❤️❤️❤️
Still, a class act. The 80's were such a great time. Thanks for taking me back...
Now that's what you call feel good, beautiful music!!!
