I saw The Choice Four when they played at Pete's Paddack Lounge back in Ft. Lauderdale on early 70's. Glad I was able to see them perform and also to find this song on TH-cam
All the years of 70's and 80's was the best years for music we really don't have real music anymore. Think about this one we had great weekends back then .
my uncle own a tavern here in Chicago I remember going there with my dad on Saturdays as a lil kid and drinking orange juice at the bar . watching my pop's prepping and stocking the coolers and shelves with liquor for the nights festivities and my older cousins playing these songs on the juke box . I would wish I were old enough to attend but unfortunately I was only a rooty poot..
I had every album also but was too young and dumb to hold on to everything!! I loved those albums...in college at the University of Oklahoma and one of the few that was hep and bold enough to play their music at parties. Memories!!!! I would pay to see them today!
On this day in 1975 {August 30th} "When You're Young and In Love" by Choice Four entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart for a four week stay, peaking at position #91 It was the group's only Top 100 record The record reached #45 on Billboard's R&B Singles chart; and they had a grand total of six records to make the R&B chart "When You're Young and In Love" was composed and produced by Van McCoy; who a month earlier on July 26th reached #1 on the Top 100 with a record of his own, "The Hustle"
Man ...I miss dancing to this song . To all the girls I danced to this song with ........sadly some of you are not here anymore .......thank you for sharing these beautiful memories ....still love you all.
Their rendition of ' Walk away from love' is ultra brilliant, their harmonising is highly rated by most R/B music historians.check out 'Angel don't fly away'
@local2458 I am so glad that I spent more time listening to the radio. I remember this song from when I was a little boy. It takes me back to the days when everything was much simpler and fun. I;m so glad I grew up listening to such great music.
played this song thousands of times over the years. always a treat. always puts a smile on my face. ......There ain't nothin that you can't do.......impossible dreams come true yes they do baby,
Okay, I hear the title song, also “Just My Imagination” and just a bit of “I Destroyed Your Love”. Does anybody else get that? Beautiful vocals. I’d heard this by the Marvelettes. Good cover.
This song, as well as their other song "You're So Right for Me" and other super soul hits from the 70's remind me of cleaning up the house on a summer Saturday morning with the doors open and the screens in the windows, singing and dancing with the broom, mop and the vacuum!!! Looking up to my "Big Sis" as she had the guys and always had the radio tuned to WJLB, especially with DJ Donnie "The Love Bug" Simpson as he was once known before he became a "Video Soul" host on BET....3/31/19.
I can remember when this song was released, and the reaction many people felt. Many of us being young, and young at heart, experienced, triumphs of love. It was a feeling of "SPRING" and it was between the month of March and May. This song was popular, and, it garnered tremendous playtime on the airwaves, AM/FM stations.
I've been looking for this song for years, you tube didn't have it two years ago the first record I ever bought when I was very young, my song ah yeah, thanks you tube.
Great memories of listening to this classic when I was a boy growing up in Chicago back in the seventies and the eighties. I didn't know what the song meant then. But even though I'm much older today, I can still relate ❤️💕💓
@@anthonyseiber7195 Interesting seeing a lot of post about Chicago and stepping to this tune. A buddy of mine is from Chicago and "Really" in to music, never heard of this song version when I played if for him years ago. He really liked it and had not heard of the Choice Four. He's a 70's music guy like I think most here are. Really Interesting.

So powerful and spiritual, they don't make songs like this anymore.
goldentone95 it’s a damn shame and almost a crime they don’t make these kind of songs anymore!
And they never will again because they don't know how to make music like this anymore.

Thomas Buckner yes
I loved this when it first hit, when I was 25. I'm newly in love again, and the song is better than ever, when I'm no longer young.
Absolutely the best version of this sonh.
Young and in love in the 70s was just the bomb with these songs. Just something special about the music, lyrics and the arrangements
my uncle own a tavern here in Chicago I remember going there with my dad on Saturdays as a lil kid and drinking orange juice at the bar . watching my pop's prepping and stocking the coolers and shelves with liquor for the nights festivities and my older cousins playing these songs on the juke box . I would wish I were old enough to attend but unfortunately I was only a rooty poot..
Paul Scott what tavern he owned?
As far as I am concerned these guys should still be getting paid. for this great song.Peace out

One of my favorite oldies played at a stepper set.
Music like this classic cut across all lines of society and brought us together, instead of the divisive hate-mongering music of today.
This is such a lovely song......from way back!
RIP to my favorite cousin Charles jr. You are still remembered in my heart ❤️ in 2021....
DC boys. Uptown represent!
I had every album also but was too young and dumb to hold on to everything!! I loved those albums...in college at the University of Oklahoma and one of the few that was hep and bold enough to play their music at parties. Memories!!!! I would pay to see them today!
I don't know how much you learned at Oklahoma but you lost your music it's so sad

Okay, I hear the title song, also “Just My Imagination” and just a bit of “I Destroyed Your Love”. Does anybody else get that? Beautiful vocals. I’d heard this by the Marvelettes. Good cover.
You are quite correct, very observant.👌🏾

I can remember when this song was released, and the reaction many people felt. Many of us being young, and young at heart, experienced, triumphs of love.
