I'm 68 I haven't thought about in many many years. Beautiful. I envy you hearing it for the first time. Does anyone remember "Ice Cream man. I think it's by the Dynamics?
You right Jay, this is grown folks music. Back in the day, it was time to put the kids to bed when this music played. It does my heart good to see you appreciating it 😊
Great song....you need to explore the Philly sound....here are some artists to check out The Dramatics The Intruders The Moments Blue Magic Young Rascals Black Ivory Soul Generation 5th Dimension The Delfonics The Fuzz Barbara Mason
Fun fact...Marvin Gaye found this group, wrote this song, and he does the ad libs and he’s also on backing vocals in this song...love love love this song, reminds me of my parents. Next you gotta do... Heatwave - Always and Forever
Hey Jay, my man, ive been telling you about this song since the spring. So glad you checked it out. I knew you would like it as you have class. Now check them out singing "The Bells" Then after that check out a 70's soul band called "Bloodstone" singing "Never Let You Go" that should ramp thing up. I bet you can't sit still when you play it, then listen to them singing "Natural High" a smooth 70's soul classic. Great reaction, priceless.
Jay, the mid 60's to early 80's was definitely the best era for music EVER, and it will never be topped. I would tell you we didn't realize how good we had it musically at the time, but if I said that I would be lying. Trust me, WE KNEW music had reached its absolute zenith and we were lucky enough to live thru it. If you get a chance checkout 'I'll Be Good to You' by the Brothers Johnson and 'Whatcha See it Whatcha Get' by the Dramatics. Another GREAT ONE is 'Zoom' by Lionel Richie and the Commodores. That was before Lionel Richie went solo.
MAN, this is a trip down memory lane. Quarter parties, lights down low, slow grindin' and gettin to know your girl or guy. You gotta try reacting to other male groups like the, THE DELLS, THE WHISPERS and many others from that era!! Music MAGIK!!!
*WoW*! Have always have loved this song!! Please react to Eddie Holman: I'll Be Forever Loving You, Hey there, Lonely Girl. Also, I'll Never Hear rhe Bells and Stay in My Corner, by The Dells! Romantic, just like this song. 💕
Thank you to the people who suggested this -- I never heard it before! Parts of it reminded me of Heatwave's "Always and Forever". That would be a nice one for you to react to, also!
Hey Jay, this is what we call chicano oldies where I'm from because the hispanic community has never stopped loving this music! Can you react to Bloodstone Natural High or Linda Jones Hypnotized ? Thanks for showcasing the music I grew up on!❤️
I can still picture myself slow dancing with someone. Love was in the air for sure! As always, you've transported back in your time machine! Thank you❤️ How about the Chi-Lites "Baby Have You Seen Her"
The Shangri-las "Remember", "Leader of The Pack" and "I Can Never Go Home Anymore"; Mary Wells "The One Who Really Loves Me" "You Beat Me To The Punch" "My Guy"; Barbara Lewis "Hello Stranger"; The Marvalettes "Don't Mess With Bill" and "Playboy" and last but not least, Dale & Grace "I'm Leaving It All Up To You."
When music was music…we fell in love listening to music like this! I don’t know what music young ones are listening to when they’re falling in love these days? I’m a HUGE Motown fan, I grew up listening to Motown artists! Wish all of them were still around to see them in concert! All that have gone, may you RIP. Hopefully, I can attend many concerts in Heaven!!
My first exposure to this song was from the ‘80s group After 7. They did a masterful job with it. It was only years later that I ran across this original. Love both versions.
@@v.2080 : The song is called "The Bells", originally sung by the Originals, later covered by Laura Nyro & LaBelle( Patti LaBelle, Nona Hendrix, Sarah Dash).
You got that right homie!! Sunday afternoon my pops,me,my son and my grandson will be BBQing and listening to oldies! My grandson is 8 yrs old and knows every word!👍✌
Seems like there are quite a few of us listening to this for the first time......... We would never had heard this without you Jovaughn......... Thank you also to the person who suggested it............. Loved it. ❤️
After Seven did a remake. You need to check them out. Jazzy funk style. After 7 was an R&B group, founded in 1988 by brothers Melvin and Kevon Edmonds and Keith Mitchell. The Edmonds brothers are the older siblings of popular pop and R&B singer-songwriter Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds" while Mitchell is the cousin of Babyface's then-partner, songwriter-producer Antonio "L.A." Cant Stop One Night
GB Was BIG long before the 80's From "Pennsylvania Center for the Book" In late 1975, Benson signed with Warner Brothers, yet another label change that would pave the way for his breakthrough into the mass market. Despite his early success, Benson desired to combine his singing and guitar playing. Music producer Tommy LiPuma was able to combine his talents, resulting in Breezin', the first jazz record to attain platinum sales. This 1976 blockbuster was the first in a long list of albums Benson would record with Warner Brothers. The album included a pop-oriented vocal track, the Leon Russell composition "This Masquerade," which featured the guitarist scatting along with his guitar solo break. The song reached the number one position on the Jazz and R&B charts, winning a Grammy Award for Record of the Year, and pushed the album to the same position on the pop charts. The album won three Grammy Awards and became the best-selling jazz album of all time.
They’ve sung backgrounds on just about as many songs as The Andantes (the female Equivalent of them) have for Motown. One song in particular is What Becomes of the Brokenhearted by Jimmy Ruffin
Yeah, this was released in 1969 (US#14) and topped the R&B charts for 5 weeks, but predicts the bedroom Soul that dominated much of the 1970s. Their only other major hit was "The Bells" (US#12, R&B#4). Both tracks are produced and co-written by Marvin Gaye.
YESS! If you love this you should also react to the remake which was done by the group After 7. Not sure if someone mentioned it already but they were an amazing group formed in the late 80s that included Babyface's brothers Melvin and Kevon! They killed it and had other hits as well!
Javaughn, you are so awesome. I'm watching your channel every night now. You are taking me back to some great times with my music. You would love Michael McDonald's version of Baby I'm for real on his Motown Albums. For the next Motown Monday please play Goin out of my head, by Little Anthony and the Imperials. I know you will love his voice.🤗
After 7 did a great job with this song as well Hey why not do an old n new version of songs that would be so cool, I've always wanted to get a compilation of original versions n remakes of songs you would be surprised, work on that!
This was grown folk's house party music; brown liquor, cigarettes and slow dancing.
Oh, everyone we’re doing stuff like that. We turned out okay.
Yessir!
Lolol We sure DID IT RIGHT😎
I am 66 years old, and I have never heard this song!! How the heck did I miss this one! Smooth✌️💕
Nancy Gerbutavich never heard this one either!
I'm with you Nancy, haven't heard this one either and not sure about the group either. Missed out on this one.
Shelter I haven’t heard this one either! It’s wonderful!
I'm 68 I haven't thought about in many many years. Beautiful. I envy you hearing it for the first time. Does anyone remember "Ice Cream man. I think it's by the Dynamics?
They were not considered in the top tier of the Motown groups, or as famous, but they were amazing.
One of the best smooth soul ever love it Marvin Gaye wrote this
He also was a producer on this and 3 other cuts on this album. This is after Tammi Terrell died, and before "What's Going On".
Yes the Marvelous Marvin Gaye wrote this beautiful song.
You can hear him all over the background vocals too....
You right Jay, this is grown folks music. Back in the day, it was time to put the kids to bed when this music played. It does my heart good to see you appreciating it 😊

THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

Great comment. Yes on Zoom.
They only had a handful of chart hits, but fans have often referred to them as Motown's Best-Kept Secret.
I grew up listening to this song, my mom had it on 45 vinyl. I'm still playing it after 50 plus years.
Motown Monday... this is one I never heard before, but its got that classic Motown sound.... love song... Thanks for this one.
I love this old romantic music 💕
My first time hearing this as well - Wow!
MAN, this is a trip down memory lane. Quarter parties, lights down low, slow grindin' and gettin to know your girl or guy. You gotta try reacting to other male groups like the, THE DELLS, THE WHISPERS and many others from that era!! Music MAGIK!!!
In my 50+years on this earth.....I've heard so many songs but I still learn of new one thanks to reactors like you and others. Thank you 💗
The original yes I do remember them, they’re from the 60s, slow smooth music! Dancing with someone you’re crazy about. Those memories are still there
*WoW*! Have always have loved this song!! Please react to Eddie Holman: I'll Be Forever Loving You, Hey there, Lonely Girl. Also, I'll Never Hear rhe Bells and Stay in My Corner, by The Dells! Romantic, just like this song. 💕
My mind keeps telling me. An Eddie Holman classic.
Short ,but soooo sweet.They all had great voices.When they switched up it just added to their beautiful sound.
Thank you to the people who suggested this -- I never heard it before! Parts of it reminded me of Heatwave's "Always and Forever". That would be a nice one for you to react to, also!
Wow Jay they are so smooth, what super find and reaction, 10 out of 10 😊😊🤗🤗 .

"La-La (Means I Love You)" by The Delfonics please !!
Hey Jay, this is what we call chicano oldies where I'm from because the hispanic community has never stopped loving this music! Can you react to Bloodstone Natural High or Linda Jones Hypnotized ? Thanks for showcasing the music I grew up on!❤️
Ahhhhhh the oldies. Such a great era of music. Beautifully written lyrics. Nice slow rythm.
I can still picture myself slow dancing with someone. Love was in the air for sure! As always, you've transported back in your time machine! Thank you❤️ How about the Chi-Lites "Baby Have You Seen Her"
Yolie McLaughlin: Yes, the Chi-lites Have you seen her? (For Motown Monday.)
Pretty sure he’s done that one :)
This is a Classic Oldie...from the 60’s...one of many great songs from that era...
My mother still plays the hell outta this one. This was a JAM!!
Well, well. One can always be taken by surprise. The song, that nearly got away for me. Glad I heard it.
This is one I've never heard, but it's absolutely lovely.

This is lovely. Please listen to Suspicion by The Originals. Great Northern Soul song.
One of My favorites in High School. Loved Freddie Gorman.
My first exposure to this song was from the ‘80s group After 7. They did a masterful job with it. It was only years later that I ran across this original. Love both versions.
You will have to listen to "The Bells", which Marvin Gaye also produced from this album. It was later covered by Laura Nyro & Labelle.
...by The Dells?
@@v.2080 : The song is called "The Bells", originally sung by the Originals, later covered by Laura Nyro & LaBelle( Patti LaBelle, Nona Hendrix, Sarah Dash).
You listening to some Oldies. This song is a classic in Mexican American households. Need to listen to BRENTON WOOD. Me and You.
You got that right homie!! Sunday afternoon my pops,me,my son and my grandson will be BBQing and listening to oldies! My grandson is 8 yrs old and knows every word!👍✌
This was one of my Daddy’s favorites. I so love this song

Cant Stop

That’s the jam right there my friend, I love love your reaction ♥️
I never heard this one either. sounds like Stay In My Corner by The Dells
The group, After 7, covered this song as a medley combination with Bloodstone's "Natural High" in 1992. RIP Melvin Edmonds.
After 7 did a great job remaking this song. Check it out

Love this song! Classic!
The Originals were a group that sang a lot of backup vocals for other artists at Motown, including Marvin Gaye who wrote this song for them
Great song! I've never heard it before! Thanks!
Man I love the music from back then
Never heard this but these guys were awesome......so smooth 🔥
The Originals, The Dells, the Delfonics, The Chi-Lites, etc. We grew up with this music.
They’ve sung backgrounds on just about as many songs as The Andantes (the female Equivalent of them) have for Motown. One song in particular is What Becomes of the Brokenhearted by Jimmy Ruffin
This is a new one for me. Smooth.
Love the motown night I remember them well 💚 💜 💛 💙
I never heard this song before. I like it!!
Now you gotta do The Originals’ The Bells. That’s my fave from them.🥰
You all who have never heard it need to listen to the East Side Story Collection vol 1-12. You'll find lots of music gems.
Ooh...this reminds me of Me and Mrs Jones!
Jay yes grown folks now if only young men would listen and play it ❤️
This is real "begging" music. When romance was a required part of a relationship.
That's slow drag music. All Black folks my age know this song and know the slow drag
Yeah, this was released in 1969 (US#14) and topped the R&B charts for 5 weeks, but predicts the bedroom Soul that dominated much of the 1970s. Their only other major hit was "The Bells" (US#12, R&B#4). Both tracks are produced and co-written by Marvin Gaye.
After 7 remade this song listen too their version it's good
Check out the Stylistic's " You are everything "
That Philly soul sound that Hall and Oates emulated years later. This song was co-written by Marvin Gaye.
YESS! If you love this you should also react to the remake which was done by the group After 7. Not sure if someone mentioned it already but they were an amazing group formed in the late 80s that included Babyface's brothers Melvin and Kevon! They killed it and had other hits as well!
Another underrated Motown group.
Reminds me so much of my sis❤
Javaughn, you are so awesome. I'm watching your channel every night now. You are taking me back to some great times with my music. You would love Michael McDonald's version of Baby I'm for real on his Motown Albums. For the next Motown Monday please play Goin out of my head, by Little Anthony and the Imperials.

My parents used to slow dance to this!
Great vocals 👍🏻
After 7 did a great job with this song as well Hey why not do an old n new version of songs that would be so cool, I've always wanted to get a compilation of original versions n remakes of songs you would be surprised, work on that!
What charts were they on? I’ve never heard of them or this song. Sorry I’ve missed it all these years. Great vocals.
All 4 of them can lead a song
