    Lyrics:
    Yeah, baby
    Where are all my friends
    I'm looking, y'all. I'm looking all over
    Where are all my friends
    I'm looking for the friends I used to call my very own
    Where are all my friends
    I need somebody right now. Hey
    Where are all my friends
    I can't find a father or a mother
    Where are all my friends

    This record sorta talks about me: I had a decent ride, a few women, a lot of cash to flash; I was slowly going to the curb, to homeless, then broke the next year later! Still today, I often cry while asking "Where Are All My Friends?"!!

    I remember when I was living in Hyde Park Chicago back in the Ron Hardy days (those who know, know), this guy in an apartment I used to live in I used to play this record and all of Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes everyday religiously. He had some Harman Kardon speakers and a nice turntable I couldn't remember what brand but the sound used to resonate through the entire building. No one complained. Those were the best days of my life...

    What a great message this song sent about not trusting so-called friends that hang around when you have money. It was very similar to the message the O'JAYS were sending with the song "backstabbers". It was true way back then and it's true for our generation today, please watch your friends. Things are not always the way they seem.

      Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes were nothing before Teddy Pendergrass arrived and were 2x nothing after he left! Harold Melvin was the reason though. He cheated Teddy and the rest of the group out of potential millions. Teddy and his career blew up 10x over and eclipsed the success of the group by miles. Harold Melvin couldn't buy a hit or decent group member once Teddy left.

      "Just friends" by Kool and the gang, " Friends" by Jody Watley are good too.

      Kanye West couldn't even carry the music stands of the real musicians of the 1970's.

      Are you actually putting K. West in the same category as Teddy P? That's hysterical... You need a lesson in real music!
