The sad part is that even in 2000s Rnb was way more about feelings and relationships than it is now. At least female singers are holding shit down and they release more sunstantial RnB projects than guys who are like "Copy-{aste" each other for last 5-10 years
@@aliveandconnected The best example of the music themes switch up is Usher. His Confessions album when he was a kid is more mature than his recent projects unfortunately (at least Bad Habits is great but that's just a drop in the ocean of forgettable RnB).
Yeah, it went a little something like this: 12:00 am. The National Anthem played then the announcement "We now conclude our broadcasting day." Then white noise until 6:00 am. 😆 😆 😆
Jack, you are a Brother from another mother 💛 no other explanation for how you can not only Relate to but Appreciate these Classics~ Much Respect, Keep doing Your Grind🙌🏽
One of the original begging songs. I was around 11 yrs old when this song came out. And I have 3 older sisters plus my mom. Man, I couldn't get away from this song even if I wanted to which I didn't. Even at my young age I recognized what serious begging he was doing. Love this song. 😆
I suggest these: Roy Ayers “Everybody Loves The Sunshine” “Searching” Marvin Gaye “Heavy Love Affair” “Mercy Mercy Me” Curtis Mayfield “Diamond In The Back”
This is a subgenre of music that I call "Brown liquor music!" Bobby Womack, Bill Withers and Al Green are some other singers in this subgenre IMHO. R. Kelly copies his vocal style from time to time.
This is an anthem at a lot of HBCUs lol at 3:54 famu marching hundred would play that part at the games and the crowd would sing along. Ugh I miss that.
This just made my night. This is TRULY the greatest love song ever. Yeah, I said it. Not sorry. And I just knew you were gonna love it. Lenny be hitting them high notes. That woman had him in ALL his feelings.
My grandma just passed last week. Me listening to this song right now put a smile on my face cus I know she is with her husband again. Rest in peace..J.C. and Ruthie I love yall and miss u with all my heart. 😔😔♥️♥️♥️
One of the greatest songs ever. I remember my dad playing this song on repeat in the basement when he was sad. I start tearing up when Lenny starts talking. You can't convince me that he was faking this. Came straight from a pained heart. The vulnerability actually reminds me of how Bryson Tiller laid himself bare in TrapSoul. Those are usually the best work. 👌
This song is so bittersweet sweet in the sense that it’s musical excellence at its HIGHEST but bitter in the realization like how did music today get so bad😭
I love the way music has no boundaries where age is concerned.We all can be swept away by it and I'm loving how younger people are enjoying old school music.
That’s what I keep saying. YT is inundated with folks reacting to the same era of music. He’d get more old school folks that go unrepresented! Great suggestion
@@ms.one-town901 Exactly ! There is so much they haven’t really begun to tap into. Jack loves Luther, and loved Rick and Teena, so I keep hoping he will blaze the trail.
This was the first LP I bought with my own money. I played this song over and over. The entire Spark of Love album was good. Check out Midnight Girl by Lenny and So very Hard to Go by Tower of Power featuring Lenny as lead.
Saw him at L A Taste of Soul. All us adults went crazy singing along with him and the reaction from ALL the younger teens and kids were priceless. 🤣🤣🤣Check out Tower Of Power feat Lenny song So Very Hard To Go.
Jack since you on this Lenny Williams you should check out some Willie Hutch- love power, what you gonna do after the party, and I choose you which was the sample used in Outkast International Players anthem
Que cantor extraordinário! Que música fantástica! Eu não conhecia essa canção e a descobri dias atrás....Fiquei extasiada e não consigo parar de ouvir....Amo demaisssssss!

It is truly refreshing to see this younger generation appreciate older music.
We have no choice but to Stan REAL music by REAL musicians
I’m Gen Z and I absolutely love this
Yes. I’m 24 and grew up on this music because my granny 😍😍😍
That part
@@Ilovechicago100 your granny knows/knew good music
In the words of Steve Harvey this is the greatest love song ever sung to a woman before
Facts
💯
True story! 💯
*kicks over mic stand*😅😅
Fasho!
Damn young blood, you going way back. It's great to see people your age listening to good music.
This song is an experience. You got to be ready for Lenny!!!!
This is such a classic. Love Mr. Lenny.
Can’t nobody top me when singing this song 😂💯
Don’t let me be cleaning up and have a broom. I’m giving my best performance
Back when a man wasn’t afraid to profess his heart, soul and love for his woman! ♥️💜🤎💙💚🖤🤍
At present, times are gone for honest men, and far too long for snakes.Wish we could go back, tho.
The sad part is that even in 2000s Rnb was way more about feelings and relationships than it is now. At least female singers are holding shit down and they release more sunstantial RnB projects than guys who are like "Copy-{aste" each other for last 5-10 years
Right? Now they calling men simps for this. So aggravating

Have you ever been drunk listening to this song and started to cry! Lol!🙋🏾♀️😍
Man ....😂
Baybe, what you said! 😩😥
Me right now. This my song 😭😭😭😭. I’m 24 and love this era
What you know bout that...lmbo
Sittin in the dark with some brown liquor!
What y'all know about television turning off.
I know everything about it, they used to play the good old American flag music and then the TV went to static.
Yeah, it went a little something like this:
12:00 am. The National Anthem played then the announcement
"We now conclude our broadcasting day." Then white noise until 6:00 am. 😆 😆 😆
Lmao..... right!
@@dezzydee3013 that petrified me as a kid lol.
**side-eyes Poltergeist**
I was little when that happened but I remember. 😊
Whewww this that real olskool 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 he sung the hell out this song
Yassssss!!! Come on thru Jack with Lenny.... “you know iiiiiiiiiii love u” ❤️❤️😂😂😂

Yessss!!!! Finally!!!
Jack, you are a Brother from another mother 💛 no other explanation for how you can not only Relate to but
Appreciate these Classics~ Much Respect, Keep doing Your Grind🙌🏽

This Is So Legendary You Can't Go Wrong With This Song
Check out “Love is a House” and “Tender Love” by Force MDs.
Yes
@Creole Bunny Did you get a chance to see their episode on Unsung??
Yes!!!! I ❤️ Force MDs!!! Don't forget "Tears"!!!
@Creole Bunny I think it may be. It may be posted in 3 parts.
@Creole Bunny Absolutely!!!
Lenny once said in an interview that while recording, by the end of the song, he was in tears. You can feel it!
Yeah, I heard that too. I met Lenny when he was with ToP. Real nice guy.
I'm going to continue to ask for this one until you play it.
Solid by Ashford & Simpson
YES!!! I been waiting for this react all my life, lol 😂🤣
Not ALL your life!! 😂🤣😂🤣
@@ms.one-town901 Lol, no but it's definitely been one of the songs I've been waiting to see a react to.
I suggest these:
Roy Ayers “Everybody Loves The Sunshine” “Searching”
Marvin Gaye “Heavy Love Affair” “Mercy Mercy Me”
Curtis Mayfield “Diamond In The Back”
That last song is really called "Be Thankful For What You Got" by William DeVaughn.
This is one of the most powerful songs sung by a man about a woman. Thanks for reacting to this, Jack!
This is a subgenre of music that I call "Brown liquor music!" Bobby Womack, Bill Withers and Al Green are some other singers in this subgenre IMHO.
R. Kelly copies his vocal style from time to time.
Amen!
Dark liquor hits. You coined it. I'm using it.
@@Khundryl lol By all means, be my guest. Just tell me what kind of feedback you get when you say it!
When grown men were grown men and there were no gimmicks your talent shines through the music evolves with the song
This is an anthem at a lot of HBCUs lol at 3:54 famu marching hundred would play that part at the games and the crowd would sing along. Ugh I miss that.
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!
This just made my night. This is TRULY the greatest love song ever. Yeah, I said it. Not sorry. And I just knew you were gonna love it. Lenny be hitting them high notes. That woman had him in ALL his feelings.
Twista’s Overnight Celebrity is the song. Slow Jamz samples Luther Vandross A House is Not a Home. Kanye killed both 🔥
And Girl Tonite that sampled tonight by Ready for the world
Back when music was magical and made you feel something.
This song never gets old! We need more 70's soul reactions Jack. Start with the group Switch
Omg. I’m 24 going on 25 soon and I loovvvveeee switch 😭😭😭
Yesssss! He should start with There’ll Never Be.
@@Ilovechicago100 I’m 28! If people didn’t know me they would probably think I’m older. Switch gets played at least once a day round these parts.
@@justkovi0630 Yes yes and YES that Debarge family is cold blooded.
@@ritapreston3809 baby ice cold it’s just sad that they had so many internal issues.
It doesn't get more heartfelt and emotional than this song. Simply the best!
Keith Sweat "You may be young but You're Ready"
Right and a Wrong Way... Couldn't go wrong with any track on there
One of my faaaaaaaavorite songs!!!!! Thank you Jack!
"That was back when television went off" Yes, Jack, TV used to go off the air! This song is amazing; thanks for sharing it with a new generation!!!
Jack, Lenny still performs this song to this day and he still sounds great!

Babbbyyyy every man BEEN thru this pain 😔😣💔💔💔💔
Aww my dad loved this song and my mom hated it. may they both RIP. This song makes me smile.
Broooo this is one of my all time favorite songs in life!!!! He literally still makes music!!!!
The pacing of this song is a journey in and of itself. 🔥
I lived the 70’s soul, R & B era ...nothing like it!❤️
One of the best Soul songs ever made. It told an emotional story.
Damn, I’m crying listening to him talking towards the end. Real music🔥

We Only Juat Begun is straight fire...love that song.
I just watched Glenn Jones Unsung episode tonight!!!!
@@jasminehill6312 Truly Underrated
Twista's "Celebrity overnight" is actually what samples this. Kanye produced that. Slow Jamz sampled Luther Vandross' "A house is not a home"
Love this song! 😊
Jack just reminding everyone what great music sounds like 😎👍
Jack we gonna need more please!
This song is so bittersweet sweet in the sense that it’s musical excellence at its HIGHEST but bitter in the realization like how did music today get so bad😭
Yasss! Jack, you on the classics & I'm here for it.
You gotta be ready for Lenny
Overnight celebrity sample! Twista!
Luther vandross “Take you out” is AMAZING
One of me and my husband's favorites!!! That mack in the middle tho!👌🏼❤👏🏼
I love the way music has no boundaries where age is concerned.We all can be swept away by it and I'm loving how younger people are enjoying old school music.
Greetings from Colombia. I watch your videos in this channel and the Español as well. Great videos!! 😊👍🙌🇨🇴
OMG, my favorite song of all times. Throw all the other music away 😌
True...baaabyyy EVERY man on this planet BEEN thru THAT type of PAIN 😔💔💔💔💔💔😣
I was waiting on your reaction to this. I was not disappointed. You've just listened to one of the greatest love songs ever.
Thanks for finally doing this one bro!
See.... We NEVER steer you wrong Jack!! This was great 😌🙌🏼
You MUST listen to Enchantment "Sunshine" or "Gloria" !
Love this song!
I’ve played this song so many times over the years. If it was a record it would definitely be scratched. 😂
YES !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jack, you should react to more of the older music frfr. There was great music in the 70’s and 80’s..not just the ‘90s and the Aughts.
That’s what I keep saying. YT is inundated with folks reacting to the same era of music. He’d get more old school folks that go unrepresented! Great suggestion
@@ms.one-town901 Exactly ! There is so much they haven’t really begun to tap into. Jack loves Luther, and loved Rick and Teena, so I keep hoping he will blaze the trail.
I like what you called it Beloved. A masterpiece
This was the first LP I bought with my own money. I played this song over and over. The entire Spark of Love album was good. Check out Midnight Girl by Lenny and So very Hard to Go by Tower of Power featuring Lenny as lead.
You gotta react to The Rain by Oran "Juice" Jones. That's a total bop!
Great reaction, great song.
My mom and I LUV that song too!!!! #I'mAOldSchoolMillennial 🎶🎵🎼🎙📀📼🎥
Nothing better. True heartbreak. True joy.
Oh how I was waiting for this!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Classic soul at its finest ❤
All time my favorite!! Forever a classic!! Lenny also lead sang for a group called Tower of Power
Yeesss!! I been waiting on this one! 🙌
Saw him at L A Taste of Soul. All us adults went crazy singing along with him and the reaction from ALL the younger teens and kids were priceless. 🤣🤣🤣Check out Tower Of Power feat Lenny song So Very Hard To Go.
It was actually the song "Overnight Celebrity" by Twista that sampled this record. Kanye West produced that track also
PERIODTT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You have to listen to him when he was the front man for Tower Of Power. Everything they did was a hit in the early 1970s.
This song gives me chills. Classic!
Vocally flawless🔥
Epic song!!! 🔥🔥🔥
🤣 this soul music is blowing his young mind😂
Jack since you on this Lenny Williams you should check out some Willie Hutch- love power, what you gonna do after the party, and I choose you which was the sample used in Outkast International Players anthem
Now see here, you just trying to stir some thangs up with Mr. Willie Hutch. I see whatcha doing!! ♥️♥️♥️
Yes, yes Willie Hutch
Ms. M. L. One-Town 😂😂😂 aint tryna stir nothing up just tryna help my boy Jack out that’s all
It’s an emotional roller coaster 🔥
You young man have great taste and a great ear for real music!!!
Story telling, feeeeelings, realness to the max
Que cantor extraordinário! Que música fantástica! Eu não conhecia essa canção e a descobri dias atrás....Fiquei extasiada e não consigo parar de ouvir....Amo demaisssssss!
One of my favorite love songs
Dude was a BEAST!
