When I see these soul groups, it shows me how dead music is today, especially black music. Black artists lost their soul and harmony and songs about true love. Old school all the way. Never heard of this group but I love them now.
Black artist haven't lost their soul, or harmony. What happened, unfortunately, is that writers, and producers aren't creating this genre of music anymore. Great singers are still coming out of the gospel music background, but classic R&B, which had a sound all its own must be preserved. Check it Out! Ciao!!!
There was another group called "The Crusaders", that came along later, who were very popular. Unfortunately, the group of young guys, featured in this video, seems to have vanished into obscurity. It's a shame. This is a great song. Very talented young gentlemen. Check it Out! Ciao!!!
Out of all the groups highlighted on this channel this group caught my attention. I have never heard of them before although I am in their age group. A number of the criticisms were unfounded. This was a young teenage group and choreography was not their main focus but harmony was. The lead singer, Micheal C. Jackson, was a natural counter-tenor at that time. What a lyrically, beautiful voice! The Crusaders we're a natural Plus! God bless them!
I've always loved this song. Late 60's/Philly, so many talented artists, but so few saw success. Philly Groove was the label for which the Delfonics saw success, but too bad the Crusaders did not have such luck! Be My Girlfriend, also from '69, was a stone classic as well!
So many great groups who didn’t hit it big but still great. Thanks for this rare classic and introducing me to this great group. This my new favorite song.
@@ILMJXXX Leon Mitchell didn't remember much when I asked him 15 years ago and he barely remembers anything now. By any chance, do you have the Hi Lit episode from September 1967 with Ronnie Walker and the Soul Exotics?
@@funkadelphiarecords Hi, sadly I don't but doesn't mean it's not still in the archives? Not everything has been transferred for viewing? Btw I got 2 strikes on ILMJXXX channel Monday... Another 1 and that channel will be deleted... So Thank you kindly for all your comments/info over the years.
Song writer and putting arraignment of instruments. Some artists don't like the song they are singing,but who's control. Michael Jackson composed this song. In my opinion for this group and only group coming out singing this cut. Quite catchie. This is a rare footage of these young men. Lip sync in the 60's was the norm for TV's shows.
oh My GOD THis is the best video from the hy lit show. thank you SO MUCH for the post. P.s. I never heard the song till this morning when i was packing up for high school. Edit: Jan 2021: i removed half of what i'd said due to inaccurate stuff like the recording date being '68, which is Early '69. The show tapes catalogue isn't really accurate with the film dates. & that i was still young to make assumption at the time. :>.
Hi Robert...Thankyou kindly for the comments...The Company itself that the clip is from states the year is infact 1969? I also have The Crusaders singing 'Be My Girlfriend' from the same episode :-)
Your Welcome😊 i don't mind the second song you can post it if you like to & i didn't heard that song either so sure way not.😊 & if you like to feel free to see the playlist that i made & it's 100% hy lit show (people might think it's not like the authors but i swear it's true😣) 😐anyways hope you like it if you want (i don't want to force someone to do what they don't want to do😯)😐😅 anyways carry on 😊.
Hi Robert...I did put in the description box I knew nothing about them and was hoping someone could help? to be honest I thought you might have known lol or maybe kpitt1204? Hopefully we will find out something soon eh? Another I didn't know anything about was The Fidelics but a past member of The Intruders was kind enough to share what he knew :-)
@@lillingtoncr A friend of mine from South Jersey and he's a record dealer and collector got it from Philly and he hooked me up about 6 years ago with it. I have rare videos of the dance T.V. Show The Ebony Affair
Thankyou and the flip side is: 'Be My Girlfriend' Philly Groove Records 155 Year 1969...I can't find a video of it on youtube to send you a link to hear it though?
Wow! They were such young kids, with such a mature sound. Amazing when you look back at video footage for the artist you grew up listening to. Check it Out! Ciao!!l
mrstanbmw Stage presence and image is very important to a act. Not being mean. Just facts. Don’t care how great he sing, he could had never be a member of the Temptations.
@@DEKMAN99 Temptations are the top of the food chain, come on these guys are just singing a song, stop the judgement and enjoy what you see if you don't you need not be cruel. they sound good and these guys are very reminiscent of the people I grew up with. I'm the same age as these guys you wouldn't understand you come a very different background

All that dead music about gold slave chains pushed by the powers that be

Its very true, now the soul is not harmonic.

Rap has destroyed two generations of black music
Just smooth, clean cut & classic.

Philadelphia Soul Gold From 1969. Thank you for Sharing This Song.
I am so proud to be from Philly! We had some great music coming out of my city back in the day!
I'm 16 again! I Love, Love, Love, this song.
A bad ass song.. been stuck in my head
Fine arrangement by Leon Mitchell who is alive and well and living in North Philly.

The Lead Singer is alive and well and lives in Virginia....still singing.
Hello I'm Michael C. Jackson, the songwriter & lead singer of "You Pay For Love". I wrote this song when I was 18 years old living in North Philly!
Thank you! This Is amazing
Awesome early Philadelphia recording!
This group was one of the sweet sounding groups which never made it really big but the songs are so great and sweet to relax to
what a true song. love this jam

Philly groove Addict for life ! :D

I like these guys. Nice catchy tune too.
Keep the camera on the group I like their steps
What a nice singing voice. Beautiful song, wonder where they are now , love this song.
Digging it …
It seems as if the 60's had a million and one songs about love and relationships.
Fire those guys

Oh th lead voice is 🙂
Man i use to low ride with this song at 19.
He is gorgeous ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🔥
Their record is much sought after by Sweet Soul record collectors. I sold my copy for $200.
Harmony was great……the lead singer WAS AMAZING !!! He is in the same class with Little Anthony of the Imperials,Eddie Kendricks and Skokie Robinson
My all time go to groups Intruders, Dramatics, Delfonics, Impressions.
This group gets confused with the more famous jazz Crusaders. I find next to no information on this Philly Groove vocal group.
Beautiful voice
I know him personally…..
Awww...so cute! Nice song.
Incredible
Reminds me of my youth,66-69 with the Afros
This is the REAL DEAL!!!
Wow, awesome music back in the day. Definitely good for the soul😅
Still DJ this one 2020
Wonderful Venus !
Thankyou Ian...hope you had a great weekend.

I love this record, the leader has a beautiful high pitched voice, So fine i could play this side every day. Does anyone know where they are now ????.
Lead singer has a good voice , with better vocal coach he could've done better - backups kinda corny steps but overall I like this !
you just don't get more Philly sounding than this!
This brother has a great voice! The material just isn't up to par.
Its a great song
Love the song

Oh, awesomeness
Is this the same group that made the record 'Street Life'..in 1979?
No ..
Lol. Jazz group with Randy Crawford on vocals.
Wow! They were such young kids, with such a mature sound. Amazing when you look back at video footage for the artist you grew up listening to. Check it Out! Ciao!!l
All these Philly style group had the same choreographers by the style of dance.
Live..AND CORRECT, LEARN YOUNGUNS FROM THIS
Awful steps..they sound smooth slower moves
Not trying to be mean but. Is having a really short nerdy looking guy wearing glasses in your singing group, is that a plus??? Just saying.
back in the day they went with talent not style.These guys were from the hood and that was how we rolled.
Your observation is whack

You mean like David Ruffin?
brill wee mellody, cheers venus for sharing
dundee520 fabulous
So young
Micheal Jackson ❤️🔥
Do you have their performance of the flip side of this record?
If u are focusing on the choreography u focusing on the wrong thing the leader singer , goes from different tones and the groups harmonies is serious
3019?
He's got a high voice for a bigger guy. Though they look kind of young.
Haha
Their probably is about 14, 15 or 16 years old
Rite !
Sounds like an older Frankie Lymon. He doesn't sound like he looks,😊 great song...great group
Awes

Davillain me too bro.
WHAT IS IT WITH BLACKS AND A RELUCTANCE TO OPEN THE TOP BUTTON OF THEIR SHIRTS?
Because back then you were considerd not in uniform
Jackson five, you stole my daddy's move. cone on with the crock.😆
This song was written by Michael Jackson, from PHILLY!
Steps they couldn't master
something is wrong with your eyes and intepretation
They tried with the dance steps.
Shit they r good an great song!
Kiss my ass. FYI I'm Brown.
Do are they linked with the Jazz Crusaders?
Marcus Jones uh,no. the jazz crusaders, came from Harlem/ Chicago. Joe sample, another Philly native, co-found the group.
@@lifeworksndhenterprisesllc6597 Joe Sample is from Houston Texas this group have nothing to do with the Jazz Crusaders
No relation
