No auto tune, no computerized instruments. Just pure talent and musicianship. Add to that, what passes for music now is not heartfelt. It's about money, fame, hate. The music of this time was about feelings, mostly love, whether it was for a lover or the entirety of humanity.
Gotta love Jeffery Osborne! He was the lead singer on this song, he went on to have a wonderful solo career too! Check out “You should be mine” (woo woo song) and “Only Human” for example of wonderful hits he made when he went solo!
6 yrs old when this came out. My parents used to play this in the house and on the 8-track in the car. Saw him in 2021 live he still sounds so good. Mr Jeffrey Osborne ❤
Brings back so many good memories. I was around 20 and a student at Howard University when this song was release. Now I'm 67 and it still sounds just as new and fresh as it did when I first heard it back in the day. Thanks for this reaction. ❤
This is my favorite Love song! I actually grew up during this era and the music was so emotional and the raw talent was amazing! LTD had so many great hits! Love your reaction
A fav! @2:30 George Benson did a sped-up cover (which always makes me wonder if he purposely ignored the BALLAD part of the title 😁). K-Ci & Jo-Jo (from Jodeci and "All My Life" fame) also covered it. It's also been sampled a lot, for sure. For example, "Teardrops and Closed Caskets" by 2Pac and Outlawz (1999)
LTD - Love, Togetherness, and Devotion!! Jeffery Osborne is one of the best male R&B vocalists of the last 50 years. Love Ballad was also recorded by George Benson on a different arrangement and is the bomb also!!
The song was written for Earth Wind & Fire and Maurice White said it was not something they wanted to sing and turned it down.And LTD recorded the song instead .
I saw the Dramatics sing 'Be My Girl' last week (1/31/24) on the Soul Train Cruise. They will be performing in my neighborhood (The Birchmere Alexandria VA) next week 2/17/24. They are still awesome🤗🤗😍😍
Estimado, los 60 ,70 y 80 sentaron las bases de la verdadera música de calidad que nunca morirá. Y en todas las corrientes musicales, tengo 65 años y fui rockero, y disfrute todas las demas . Te la perdiste, sin computadores y sintetizadores.

Very well said…having grown up in that era I could not have said it better!

He should do the one where Jeffrey O., performs You should be mine, on The Cosby Show!
And my favorite ltd we both deserve each others love
The great Jefferey Osborne in lead vocals…LTD covers the George Benson classic
Fun fact: Jeffrey Osborne (the lead singer) said he did this in 1 take. AND he plays the drums on this too! A LEGEND!
I was born in 1977 and til this day, it’s literally one of my favorite songs of ALL TIME 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

Love this song ❤❤
Finally!!!! 🙌🏾❤️ This is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Such a gorgeous song ❤
This is a classic jam!
Best R&B was in the 70"s, followed by a resurgent in the 90"s. It's time for another return.
The 70s & 80s had the best Soul music that birthed 90s R&B.
Pop and Heavy Metal were the most popular in the 80's.@@lanceflx63
Yes! I’ve always said that, the 70s and then the 90s absolutely the best
This is my favorite Love song! I actually grew up during this era and the music was so emotional and the raw talent was amazing! LTD had so many great hits! Love your reaction
Old school slow jam classic and it can't be touched all these many years later!
