It's a GREAT song BUT, he ain't Bootie...by a LONG SHOT....the only note that even resembled Bootie was "How Long Am I" and that's it. Nice Try though.....
Paul Errante- here it is 2018 and bro I still cannot get over this jam. You’re right they sound pretty much like the original recording. My wife and I will be married 41 years in September this year. I have to put it out there.....that’s how long I’m going to be in love with her. FOREVER!! No ands an if about it. Be blessed. 🇿🇦🇺🇸
This was one of my wedding Songs way back then. He was murdered. I can't listen to this song with anyone else. Feels like it was ours and will always be just for him and me. Rest in Peace Ricardo Smith. I love you forever.
@@brendathompson2378Absolutely Not. James "Booty" Tuten is the original Lead singer of the Ebony's. Booty passed away in like 1999. Our Families were from Downtown Camden NJ. They are all replacements of the original group.

The short guy really saaaamgz. Something or someone tends to throw something off sometimes, not sure who it is, but def 100% prefer this music any day, year or century than the trash thats out now days
WOW!!! This is incredible!! I didnt even know The Ebonys were still around!! They sound FANTASTIC!! and seem like they are all the originals. When and where was this?!! Paul- HUGE Ebonys fan!!
I come to this to hear my very talented brother Mckensey Crawford Sr. Fuck bro I miss you so.much. I hate not being able to talk to you. Love you bro 4 life
He even lifted the melody when he begins to sing the verses. You can hear it at the beginning of both songs. Some of Trey's new stuff is okay, but this is where I need him to get back to. His voice works well over soulful samples.
I appreciate but we're talking about a different person.the one with the cornrows singing falsetto.he is a fill in.i believe he go's by Mr.Reese.i saw him a few days ago.can you find out for me because I believe he's staying in a philadelphia shelter
Gm edagdwg god bless them all only god can bless two souls with his forever love from the inside out we have to share time doing things together kiss me hold my hand tell each other I love you soooooo blessed to know god for myself Linda j peace
They are pretty good but like it's been written ain't nothing like the real thing those original singers had some great voices the 2 lead singers had power in their voices that was unreal
One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.
Yep!
The crazy thing is that there are no originals here but they sound almost exactly like the record!!! Excellent replacements keeping it alive!!
Love it

He even lifted the melody when he begins to sing the verses. You can hear it at the beginning of both songs. Some of Trey's new stuff is okay, but this is where I need him to get back to. His voice works well over soulful samples.
Willam "Smoke" Howard is the original lead
