From Washington DC, the dynamic lead singer of this Motown group was Tony Washington. He and Sylvester had A LOT in common. Tony was ahead of the industry in that regard.
Totally agree! Tony and Sylvester were like pioneers in their own way. It's awesome how Tony was ahead of the game, shaping the industry. Their impact is something special. 🎵✌️
Hey Class of '72 from TJHS in NJ! Those street corner harmonizing sessions must have been something else, huh? The nostalgia hits hard when you think back to those days and nights. What's your favorite memory from hanging out under the lights? It's crazy how those moments can stick with you. Share some stories if you're up for it! 👍
@@BruceandCarla Good evening good people, when you played "Shoe Shoe Shine" I won't lie I dropped a tear, automatically took me back to those days we would meet up before hitting one of those basement parties. We would put our change $$ together to get a bottle 🍾 of "Boones Farm strawberry hill" 😂 get our sip on then head over to E. Grand & catherine st. to assemble and start harmonizing🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤, some of the group's we would try to copy were Temprees/ Delfonics/ Blue Magic/ Escorts/ Chi-lites etc., Oh man we were so spoiled back then and we didn't even know it. Then a year after graduation I shipped out for Military service and took all those sweet memories with me all over the world 🌎!! Thanx so much for your interest in our street corner symphony nights!! P.S. We couldn't sing a lick but the wine said different!!😂😂😂 Stay safe!! #PeaceOut✌️🤜👊🤛
Oh WOW! another home town performer we've never heard of. I'm excited to check him out. Thanks for the suggestion and we hope you enjoyed the reaction.
Uhhhmmm nahhh Champ...The song was about him telling the chick he might not be grown but he's grown enough to remember when shoeshine cost a dime, a penny can buy u plenty, a nickel was the fair to take u anywhere and troubles we didn't have many...So he saying he's young but he's not u dig...😉
The Dynamic Superiors were from Washington, D. C. and recorded on Motown Records label. The songs on their first two albums were mostly written by the husband-and-wife team Ashford & Simpson. They recorded with moderate success throughout the 1970s. One of their bestselling hits was "Shoe, Shoe Shine" in 1975. They were unique in that Tony Washington was openly gay, and sometimes dressed in drag onstage.

The Late Tony Washington on lead was one of the all time falsetto singers ever 👌🏽
Tony Washington best effortless falsetto ever rip
You can’t beat 70s soul.
That brother can sing.
Classic from 1974-1975! ❤️🔥
This was one of the best slow jams ever, and the first time I ever saw an openly gay performer. Nobody freaked out.
Yeah we were wondering how people handled that back then.
@@BruceandCarla I think we noticed it, but ignored it. Dude could sing, so it didn't make a difference.
You're absolutely right. Nobody said nothing. That boy could SANG!!!
@@bevacole Yes he could, and bet he was the choreographer.

WOW! I didn't know that.
Ashford and Simpson wrote some of their songs for Motown, Tony Washington was the real deal.
D. S.can sing😊😊😊😊
Yall need to check out "Ms." By David Oliver...That's if you haven't already. You won't be disappointed. Also "Treasure Chest" By Booker T.

No because the the climate is different sweetheart that's why the music is not the way it is no more
RIP Tony Washington*
React madonna god control ❤
I'm up for the challenge! What do you love about 'God Control' by Madonna? Any specific aspects I should pay close attention to during my reaction?
at the end of the song it is based on a real case about insecurity and violence in schools 🙏❤
