This song was a charity single for AIDS research and prevention in 1986 where most artists were distancing themselves from the epidemic. Dionne was a pioneer in every way. love!
I love the way Gladys Knight just smiles, waits her time and then absolutely knocks it out the park. Such a great song, beautifully harmonised and timeless.
Dionne Warwick and Gladys Knight are both looking-GORGEOUS-and-SEXY-in this video. LOL. Nice cheeks,pretty smiles and teeth too. Lord have-MERCY !!! LOL.
100% my mom used to sing this song all the time brings tears to me I miss her so much she was my best friend and she always made me smile every time I was down
david morin you’re so right when we lose a good friend in our life we keep them alive in our heart and throughout the memories and you said it 💯live your life to the fullest blessings to you and yours always
Please forgive me for my poor English! I am originally from Russia, and I would like to express my admiration for these singers. When I listen to them, I feel that there is a special connection between them, a kind of magical energy that makes them incredibly happy at that moment. I would like to see more instances of that magical connection between people.
Eulnglidis curbani Pois essa linda música porque ela tem uma linda qualidade e é uma linda mulher a qual está cantando e é um lindo homem a qual uma linda gaita Coisa essa música é para os modelos atores dublês e covers the magic for men para vocês meninos Em um relato eu falo para todos vocês Amores vocês são obras a qual Deus fez nunca deixe ninguém pisar em cima dos dos homens A qual vocês se tornaram seja seja honre sempre o trabalho a qual vocês têm mas respeite as pessoas a quais estão à sua frente mas amores olha bem tem mulheres vazias são aquelas que se jogam para cima dos homens seja na vida pessoal trabalho de vocês exige disciplina exige respeito exige conduta Então faça da conduta a melhor honra
It's 2024 and I didn't realize how happy we were back then or how important our relationships were. Nowadays we're all stressed, polarized, fighting with one another, and no one seems to trust anyone else. I miss those times. Miss the music too.
So true we will never get these times back. Being able to play these songs back makes me go to a time where things musically were so much better 🤔😀 atmosphere is not the same.
They have 38 Grammy Awards and 77 Billboard Top 10 hits between them. What an awesome collection of talent! In 2023, "That's What Friends Are For" still sounds awesome!!!
@@sallywest9932It’s a shame it’s not used enough in modern music. People aren’t even using real instruments anymore. Everything is sample computer generated now.
In loving memory of Burt Bacharach, who died this week at 94. The songs he wrote will live on forever. TWFAF IS A BRILLIANT EXAMPLE. Thank you, Dionne Warwick & Friends Kenneth Huang 2/11/23.
@@sarakirk9542 actually in the radio i am quite confuse if if its her and Elton John is singing coz Gladish voice sounds like a midway voice between a man and a woman.. sooo unique and powerful..
Anyone in 2024? Right now Dionne is here in Brazil for her One Last Time tour and I literally just came back from her show an hour ago. This lady is unbeatable! She still got those killing vocals and this was the last song she sang (I cried like a babygirl😭😭😭)
I have a special friend who is dying. He never had a family, and came to this country over 70 years ago, leaving his parents behind. He is more than a friend, he is FAMILY to me and several others.. I dedicate this song to him... because yes, THAT"S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR.......................
Imagine being blind, harmonizing in a 4 part R&B timeless classic and pulling a harmonica and totally lifting the song even higher. Stevie Wonder is a miracle.

What a tremendous, timeless gem. I remember around 35 years ago traveling on a bus during peak hour one morning. The bus was packed full of commuters going about their daily business, then this song came on the radio. The bus driver cranked up the volume and suddenly the atmosphere on the bus changed. For a few brief minutes every single person on that bus forgot about what they were doing or thinking, and became lost in this sweet, euphonious masterpiece. The entire bus was silent and people began looking around at each other as though they all possessed a common understanding, and for a brief moment in time, we were all bonded together in blissful harmony. Then we got off the bus and went about our day, with what I like to imagine, a slightly different perspective of the world. A moment I'll never forget 💙
The way Gladys looks up and smiles at each singer marveling at their talent and reveling in the music just brings tears to my eyes and joy to my soul. Then she absolutely blows us away at her own talent and vocals. Often we forget that these amazing singers are music loving fans just like all of us.
Guess Elton is in it for a reason, three black singers and one white. Most would say it won't work but Elton John held his own and I personally don't think there would have been many if any apart from him that could have back then, hell even now I remember when it first come out sitting in a pub and hearing it for the first time and like many others in the pub were stunned by the strange mix especially in the era of racially divided but oh shit it brought us all together that night.
@stuartphillips822 and whether you like it or not he ain't no black singer. White singers and black singers don't always mix. I'm sure every black singer in the world listens to Elton John NOT.
At 60 years of age, l've never experienced this type of friendship with anyone, yet I can totally feel the power, emotion, and conviction behind it. Truly beautiful ❤😊🤩🥰
6042,I've experienced friendships like this ( and I'm crying as I type this ) 2005 I was in Iraq with the Texas Guard at Camp TQ fighting against insurgents there and me and my battalion were going through pure hell. LOL. We all had a very-STRONG-bond in our battalion,guys were saving each others lives,a true-BROTHERHOOD. Had my good friend Ssgt Martinez save my life while we were conducting a raid on a home in Iraq. Thank you again Leonard Martinez. I now miss that bond and friendship MORE than ever. LOL. A bond and friendship brought together by a shared experience. I've listened to this song 7 times already,I guess it triggered some memories from long ago. God bless.
How much u miss someone even tho they done wrong so many beautiful memories and I can hold my hand out if things go wrong always be hear my baby girl ❤
Makes you feel good doesn't it Friend?!!!!! I listen to this song all the time especially when I am feeling melancholy. All 4 of these entertainers are aces in my book as I grew up with all of them!
Who is here on 21st march 2020.With this global tragedy covid 19.Beautiful voices blend together.If you are always listening and watching this everyday, count on me as your friend,despite of we are separated by continents, oceans,valleys,we are all united by this powerful song by the love of our best friend God.
@@chikka8398 I thought that the first couple times I heard it on MTV in 1985. He seemed to be struggling a bit, but after listening more times I think he is pretty good, even great in second and third solo parts. I love them all. Elton might not reach to the effervescent smooth powerful level of the others, but I think he adds something special to the blend.
Deus..farsa das galáxias fruto da imaginação que deu certo. amiguinho estrangeiro vá evoluir por favor também. estamos no século 21viu ja está na hora de crescer e sair da infância
I remember listening to this song as a kid too, especially after the rain, purple sunsets. The sound of their singing just warms your heart and cradles you to sleep. It was magical to experience being alive listening to these legends. ❤
Imagine when they got older and gone one by one, the last one standing will be singing this song as a tribute with such emotion that will bring this song back to life for this generation
I agree 100%...he has always been one of my favorite male singers, not only for his amazing range of pitch ( He can reach an E high natural ) that's a female soprano note,but also for the feeling he delivers when he's singing, doesn't matter what he sings...and also he plays many instruments... An amazing complete artist !
Dionne, Elton, Gladys, and Stevie Wonder gave a legendary performance of "What Friends Are For". Their voices blended together so effortlessly, creating a beautiful harmony. Watching them have a great time on set, smiling and laughing with each other, just added to the magic of the performance. The energy they brought was unforgettable! We, Filipinos look up to these musical icons and love them, and this collaboration between four legends just solidified that. It was a testament to the power of friendship and music to bring people together. Thank you for the timeless music.
Buried my beautiful 38 year old brother some years ago -all his friends gathered at the funeral someone brought a boom box and played this song for my brother Jim at his funeral , this song is truly iconic in every way -“that’s what friends are for” is and will be legendary for many many many years to come thank you Burt Bacharach for writing such a masterpiece and thank Dionne Warwick sir Elton John , Stevie wonder and Gladys knight for creating such a magnificent singing iconic song.🥀
May this legend be resting in peace thank you Burt Bacharach for being the genius that you were and still are, your beautiful music will live on forever RIP❤️
You have all the reasons to be emotional...a second song as this one , does not exist....The meaning of a whole life - having friends to love and share , to meet as often as possible , to have fun and never let this amazing feeling die....
Mi amigo Manuel Leiva era espectacular cuánto lo extraño Dios perdón pero acuérdate de lo hermoso que era Manuel y como amaba tus caminos y como nos amanecimos queriendo tus misericordias😊
Makes me cry too. I feel like a bad friend. Am I a bad person if I can't support my best friend because I'm feeling unwell? I want to support her but I not in a good place. I'm not sure if she wants my support at all. I love her with all my heart I just think it's in her favor to keep distance from me. That's why I cry with this song. Because this song is literally how I feel, but I can't show my bestie.
@@fatimasehli2612 I do but I don't feel like she appreciates it. I might be totally wrong but idk. Feels really one sighted. I'm always there for her tho, I hope she knows that. I told her but doesn't mean she knows it. I know I have to show it too. I try but when I feel like she doesn't appreciate it I stop showing. Not because I'm tired of showing, but because I'm afraid she's tired of it. I'm just not sure what to do because sometimessss she does look for support. When I right it down like this I realise that I'm probably just not her best friend🥲. But I also know I have trauma so I might be totally wrong and pushing her away. You know what I don't care what I am to her, she's my family and if she needs me she knows how to find me :)
Eternal, and amazingly, still fresh after all this time. Four beautiful and extremely talented people who give unending pleasure to anyone wanting or needing it. Thanks to each and every one of these superstars.....
Cindy Bemiller, I'm referring to the unmatched, inimitable, unique, second to none peerless Gladys Knight. Like Bruce points out, she starts singing at 2:44.
30 years later and this song still gives me chills and gets me choked up- especially towards the end when Gladys gives it her all. I really feel sorry for people that didn't grow up during the 70's and 80's when artists were truly artists and sang really meaningful songs. What happened to it all?
Floyd Brennan i am so fortunate to have grown up in the 70's and 80's. These were the two best decades for music. Period....true talent right there. Beautiful, just beautiful...
I wish I grew up then. Because now I'm stuck growing up in a generation filled with trash music. I listen to 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s music, and I really agree that it's much better than what singers crank out now. You both are very lucky to have lived through such a time where music was blossoming and blooming and when it would touch your heart and make you cry or make you feel proud for who you are, or whatever its goal was. From all the information I've gathered, music used to be much more creative, but now it's just kinda getting to be the same thing over and over again. Real talent used to present itself and show its face... but now it remains in the dark, hidden and alone.
Songs nowadays sound like they are just talking. They are more wordy. Back then, the songs mostly were about emotions, passion, and Instrumental stuff! Not auto tune. There are some good songs nowadays but they are few and far between.

I'm an 80's girl, back then we listened to music with our parents. Today i can't watch music with my kids because of nudity and explicit content.
Dionne Warwick's 'That's What Friends Are For' is an absolute classic! The combination of her powerful vocals, the heartfelt lyrics, and the collaboration with Stevie Wonder, Elton John, and Gladys Knight creates a timeless piece of music that resonates with the true essence of friendship.
Sadly, we no more have music like this in this our time - voices very harmonized; passing good message; appealing to emotion. Their expressions, smiling faces, thrill me the most . Kudos to these oldtime legends.
paul emmanuel I completely agree with you, tears come in my eyes when I hear this song that has a real emotional appeal. I love all Bacharach melodies for that reason too ! Nowadays music has no more soul, no more real talent, just pieces of s..t ! 😬😢
Eu acordei e essa música veio no meu pensamento. Muito tempo que não escuto. Daí, fui levada a orar por cada um. Deus abençoe cada um de vocês. A letra dessa música é muito linda e a alegria deles de estarem lado a lado é lindo
My dear friend,lost her battle with cancer.She passed on 3/6/24 Keep smiling,Keep shining in Heaven 😊🌟
SHE STILL EXIST
So sorry 😢❤
She’s still here
MY SYMPATHY.
sorry to hear that mam
Them putting Stevie's harmonica in the song was the best decision they could've done!!! It shot the song into the stratosphere 🚀
That's what I'm talking about bro.
...oh c'mon with harmonica or without!
Absolutely fab!
That makes me cry 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@aquamatch the whole song is beautiful but that harmonica coming in at the beginning and end makes the song majestic
Today is 12/12/2024, Happy Birthday Dionne Warwick’s 80th birthday!
No Auto tune, No filters, Just PURE VOICE, music and 100% TALENT✨
Never gets old✨✨✨✨
To each time their tricks, they are all extremely talented but this is clearly playback.

The part where Elton John sings "The words are coming from my heart..." unimaginably touches my soul.
I, can be more agree!
Love that part.
All the entries are well done,
Love the whole song full as harmony and nice melody for ever.
Me Too !! 😢💓
Kudos to all the vocalists. But Elton John's performance was my fav. 😊
Incredible!!!!
Trouble is friends are hard to come by these.days. Most want something. So they are not true friends.
Who is still listening in December 2024

The joy when Gladys sings just makes me happy.
And one may think Gladys Knight is Kelly Rowland's mama, the resemblance!
She's so likeable!
Wow
Definitely dont want to disrespect any of the other legends but she has thr best voice her.... Imo
Gladys sings right into happiness ....

So true we will never get these times back. Being able to play these songs back makes me go to a time where things musically were so much better 🤔😀 atmosphere is not the same.
While this may be true for your country, a lot of countries have prospered since then.
This has got to be the biggest classic
That's what we call real music: No auto tune, beautiful vocal, beautiful tune, meaningful lyrics and real soul.
The truth.
sure
Yes 👍🏾💯
That's song is 38 years old, and it's still a classic!
And I'm 38 years old .It sounds like it was recorded today.
I could not agree more. Still a classic. A song always worth listening to. Reminds me of my greatest friend my late wife. 😂
It still holds up today!

Gladys Knight is a pretty woman and really good singer
They have 38 Grammy Awards and 77 Billboard Top 10 hits between them.

No other singers sound like them. Their voices are so unique. I love it!
Well that's the way it used to be. Now they want them to sound all the same.
They're all wonderful, but Stevie really transcends, he sings it like he means it. Every second of this song is pure gold and still reaches our souls.

6042,I've experienced friendships like this ( and I'm crying as I type this ) 2005 I was in Iraq with the Texas Guard at Camp TQ fighting against insurgents there and me and my battalion were going through pure hell. LOL. We all had a very-STRONG-bond in our battalion,guys were saving each others lives,a true-BROTHERHOOD. Had my good friend Ssgt Martinez save my life while we were conducting a raid on a home in Iraq. Thank you again Leonard Martinez. I now miss that bond and friendship MORE than ever. LOL. A bond and friendship brought together by a shared experience. I've listened to this song 7 times already,I guess it triggered some memories from long ago. God bless.
I feel you on this. But this is a beautiful song.
Lindíssima canção 😍❤❤❤❤
How much u miss someone even tho they done wrong so many beautiful memories and I can hold my hand out if things go wrong always be hear my baby girl ❤
0% drugs
0% sex
0% violence
100% friendship
Makes you feel good doesn't it Friend?!!!!! I listen to this song all the time especially when I am feeling melancholy. All 4 of these entertainers are aces in my book as I grew up with all of them!
This might have been at the tail end of Elton John's cocaine & alcohol addiction. He got clean soon after
True 0% fake friends 😅
100% music.with love from Nigeria.
Truth Indeed AMEN
Who is here on 21st march 2020.With this global tragedy covid 19.Beautiful voices blend together.If you are always listening and watching this everyday, count on me as your friend,despite of we are separated by continents, oceans,valleys,we are all united by this powerful song by the love of our best friend God.
Doing a research project on it right now!
I like this song.
Yes, but Elton should be removed immediately. He seriously ruins it. No offence to anyone.
Everyone is staying at home... on TH-cam.
@@chikka8398 I thought that the first couple times I heard it on MTV in 1985. He seemed to be struggling a bit, but after listening more times I think he is pretty good, even great in second and third solo parts. I love them all. Elton might not reach to the effervescent smooth powerful level of the others, but I think he adds something special to the blend.
Stevie Wonder’s voice is a gift from God to the world, actually all four singers here are great.
Yeah, and he plays the harmonica like he sings. He's a blessing.
Yes, Elton ending it, powerful

Deus..farsa das galáxias fruto da imaginação que deu certo. amiguinho estrangeiro vá evoluir por favor também. estamos no século 21viu ja está na hora de crescer e sair da infância
Yes.
I love this song by Dionne Warwick and Steven wonder and Elton John and Gladys Knight this is a good song
This song is the ultimate feel good song.
My wife passed away from cancer a few years ago. She was my best friend. This song feels like how much I miss her.
R.I.P to your wife, I didn’t know her but I bet she was beautiful p.s I hope you’re doing okay.❤️
Sorry for your loss my best friend is terminally I'll with cancer please stay strong and cherish your memories x
May her soul rest in eternal peace, remain blessed for having known her.
Be strong brother. She may not be there physically, but the memories cherished will always be there
I am sorry to hear that...be strong that is what she would want you to be2.God bless you.
When Gladys Knight starts to sing I get goose bumps. What a voice!
It doesn't get any better than the incomparable Gladys Knight. Phenomenal!
Out of this world! What a talent!
I love her voice and her happinnes by singing with friends
Me too
The empress is fantastic
Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight and Sir Elton John are legends forevermore
Very True
yesssss
O? Right
Damn right
you are so right what great legends so great to see egos don't get in the way with like some artist's
Gladys Night is coming to Arizona, looking forward to seeing her
A timeless classic, listened to this as a kid and it still carries so much emotion. Future generations take notes.
Me too since I was 5 years old
I remember listening to this song as a kid too, especially after the rain, purple sunsets. The sound of their singing just warms your heart and cradles you to sleep. It was magical to experience being alive listening to these legends. ❤
Imagine when they got older and gone one by one, the last one standing will be singing this song as a tribute with such emotion that will bring this song back to life for this generation
Im in tears now
😢😢😭
@@bhabedolorito7894 linda música 😀❤😥
@@andibahri751 me too..
Don’t do that to me! 😢😭❤️
I am 75 years old and listening to the brothers sing they gave us good music.thankyou.l cry to see them....love youboys.
Stevie Wonder's voice is absolutely incredible
Anwyko Trim god given gift, Stevie’s the greatest 😌
Yes its true
stevie is great, but imma object one of the greatest singers.... :)
His harmonica playing is fantastic-
I agree 100%...he has always been one of my favorite male singers,
not only for his amazing range of pitch ( He can reach an E high natural ) that's
a female soprano note,but also for the feeling he delivers when he's singing,
doesn't matter what he sings...and also he plays many instruments...
An amazing complete artist !
Dionne, Elton, Gladys, and Stevie Wonder gave a legendary performance of "What Friends Are For". Their voices blended together so effortlessly, creating a beautiful harmony. Watching them have a great time on set, smiling and laughing with each other, just added to the magic of the performance. The energy they brought was unforgettable! We, Filipinos look up to these musical icons and love them, and this collaboration between four legends just solidified that. It was a testament to the power of friendship and music to bring people together. Thank you for the timeless music.
Not only Filipinos! As a Mexican we grew up with this beautiful music!
Buried my beautiful 38 year old brother some years ago -all his friends gathered at the funeral someone brought a boom box and played this song for my brother Jim at his funeral , this song is truly iconic in every way -“that’s what friends are for” is and will be legendary for many many many years to come thank you Burt Bacharach for writing such a masterpiece and thank Dionne Warwick sir Elton John , Stevie wonder and Gladys knight for creating such a magnificent singing iconic song.🥀
May this legend be resting in peace thank you Burt Bacharach for being the genius that you were and still are, your beautiful music will live on forever RIP❤️
Absolutely timeless
Don't know why, but this makes me a little emotional. Such a great song.
A little emotional? Me A lot!
You have all the reasons to be emotional...a second song as this one , does not exist....The meaning of a whole life - having friends to love and share , to meet as often as possible , to have fun and never let this amazing feeling die....
It's the melody. Composer found the way to reach your soul.
I 2nd ,that EMOTION 🎶
0⁰⁰⁰⁰000⁰⁰
Mi amigo Manuel Leiva era espectacular cuánto lo extraño Dios perdón pero acuérdate de lo hermoso que era Manuel y como amaba tus caminos y como nos amanecimos queriendo tus misericordias😊
I think this will forever be one of the most beautiful songs ever written, and ever sung.
Yes u r rght
You’re not wrong…
I TOTALLY AGREE
For sure ✌️
All 4 singers of this great song are still alive. They should sing this live one more time!
Actually they sang it recently. But only the 3 of them. Elton's not there.
@@ricozacarias why elton...
@@adilisme6173 no idea
Absolutely yes
they did and it was awful lol
This isn’t a “sad” song, but I cry every time I hear it.....
I love it, makes me feel grateful for the friends I have, but yes I do shed a tear 😥
Me too
Makes me cry too. I feel like a bad friend. Am I a bad person if I can't support my best friend because I'm feeling unwell? I want to support her but I not in a good place. I'm not sure if she wants my support at all. I love her with all my heart I just think it's in her favor to keep distance from me. That's why I cry with this song. Because this song is literally how I feel, but I can't show my bestie.
@@GamingPIPI if you love her you have to make an effort to keep her near you
@@fatimasehli2612 I do but I don't feel like she appreciates it. I might be totally wrong but idk. Feels really one sighted. I'm always there for her tho, I hope she knows that. I told her but doesn't mean she knows it. I know I have to show it too. I try but when I feel like she doesn't appreciate it I stop showing. Not because I'm tired of showing, but because I'm afraid she's tired of it. I'm just not sure what to do because sometimessss she does look for support. When I right it down like this I realise that I'm probably just not her best friend🥲. But I also know I have trauma so I might be totally wrong and pushing her away. You know what I don't care what I am to her, she's my family and if she needs me she knows how to find me :)
Stevie Wonder.... Just always been tops... Have been a fan since '60's... Talent personified... All of them...
Thanks for the music...
Gladys Knight singing the words "forever more" has been melting me since the 80's
All the time Gladys smiles and looks up to them, as if they are singers and she's not and then nails her part with this powerfull voice. Amazing song.
She really stole the song. You'll have your fun but watch this!
All four made us smile!
Thats what true friends do, they admire you and let you shine then you share your best with them, shes a humble woman
She looks so cute and spunky and 80s here, love it 😍
She killed it
This song really highlighted her awesomeness. She was phenomenal at her peak 😊
The Stevie Wonder and Gladys Knight portion gave me chills! So beautiful! Elton and Dionne are amazing too of course.
Eternal, and amazingly, still fresh after all this time. Four beautiful and extremely talented people who give unending pleasure to anyone wanting or needing it. Thanks to each and every one of these superstars.....
Who are the idiots who disliked this? How?!
We are jaran goyang. Enak kui lagune
yess so true.His voice is so WONDERful
This is so beautiful....I am 19 and I'm just wondering why isn't music done like this no more?music like this feeds the soul!!!!!!!!
there are music then like in 2019
Good too hear you like this at this age 80 was the best
Nana Baffour my son is 10 years old and loves this song. You guys have a beautiful soul...🦋
Glad to know you have a good ear for music from the 80s. I love it. I am in my 70s and appreciate what we had back then even more these days.
@@billygotclout4389excelente!!!
Linda demais meu amor a está música
Gladys Knight's voice is simply out of this world. Incredibly powerful and beautiful...
Cant not describe .....just one adjective AMAZING
Pete Mago her name is Dionne Warwick or or you on a different site! I’m that’s what friends are for maybe the replies are mixed up?
Cindy Bemiller, at 2:44 Gladys Knight starts singing and steals the show! 😁
Cindy Bemiller, I'm referring to the unmatched, inimitable, unique, second to none peerless Gladys Knight. Like Bruce points out, she starts singing at 2:44.
Yes it is
Do they even make anything as beautiful as this anymore? Who’s with me April 24th, 2024 and missing the old days?
No. That simple.
Yes 🙌🏽🙌🏽 God Bless 🙌🏽🙌🏽 Amen 🙏🏾
Am a Young Buck and appreciate this Classic and Gem 💎 of a Song😊
Yes very much missing them and music like this ❤️
Yes madam , i was kid of the 80s i cant tell you how much i loved it
Gladys Knight really does such a passionate vocal that it goes straight to the heart!
What a voice!!
You are absolutely correct!
And she sings so very joyfully, it's truely contagious.
There is no other decade which produced more sentimental music than the 80's. This song is 80's MAGIC!
Absolutely Sir never come back again.
yup!
Know Hope- Amen.
@@Winterisnofun So true Sir
Umm, quite possibly the 1950s did, then I'd say the 60s were next, THEN the 1980s.
I hear this song and for a moment forget about the chaos and idiocy in the world today.
A
yes
Me too......
stevie play fl;ute great
Needs 100,000,000 views - only a few away!
30 years later and this song still gives me chills and gets me choked up- especially towards the end when Gladys gives it her all. I really feel sorry for people that didn't grow up during the 70's and 80's when artists were truly artists and sang really meaningful songs. What happened to it all?
Floyd Brennan i am so fortunate to have grown up in the 70's and 80's. These were the two best decades for music. Period....true talent right there. Beautiful, just beautiful...
I wish I grew up then. Because now I'm stuck growing up in a generation filled with trash music. I listen to 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s music, and I really agree that it's much better than what singers crank out now. You both are very lucky to have lived through such a time where music was blossoming and blooming and when it would touch your heart and make you cry or make you feel proud for who you are, or whatever its goal was. From all the information I've gathered, music used to be much more creative, but now it's just kinda getting to be the same thing over and over again. Real talent used to present itself and show its face... but now it remains in the dark, hidden and alone.
Songs nowadays sound like they are just talking. They are more wordy. Back then, the songs mostly were about emotions, passion, and Instrumental stuff! Not auto tune. There are some good songs nowadays but they are few and far between.
I'm an 80's girl, back then we listened to music with our parents. Today i can't watch music with my kids because of nudity and explicit content.
Amen we grew up with the best music
Music like this never dies
Dionne Warwick's 'That's What Friends Are For' is an absolute classic! The combination of her powerful vocals, the heartfelt lyrics, and the collaboration with Stevie Wonder, Elton John, and Gladys Knight creates a timeless piece of music that resonates with the true essence of friendship.
So True !! 😤🦋
Sadly, we no more have music like this in this our time - voices very harmonized; passing good message; appealing to emotion. Their expressions, smiling faces, thrill me the most .
Kudos to these oldtime legends.
paul emmanuel You are so right ❤️❤️
Their chemistry made this song so beautiful :-)
Agree with you friend.. It so deep
paul emmanuel I completely agree with you, tears come in my eyes when I hear this song that has a real emotional appeal. I love all Bacharach melodies for that reason too ! Nowadays music has no more soul, no more real talent, just pieces of s..t ! 😬😢
Yes that's so true. This was real music and classic. Still the best
Still smiling and shining this October 2024. Still watching.
Here I am
Aqui estou ouvindo 16 de outubro de 2024,sou de libra de 19/10/1979!,bjs
Eu acordei e essa música veio no meu pensamento. Muito tempo que não escuto. Daí, fui levada a orar por cada um.
Deus abençoe cada um de vocês.
A letra dessa música é muito linda e a alegria deles de estarem lado a lado é lindo
Linda musica. Ouvindo neste mês lindo de outubro 2024
Todo los días escucho está bella musica
Love this! ❤️..still a classic! Heyyy Ms. Gladys, Mr. Stevie, Sir Elton and the incomparable Dionne Warwick 😍❤️😍🥰
No matter how how hard I try not to cry listening to this beautiful song it always gets me emotionally.
Siento lo mismo teniendo en cuenta que el año que esta canción salió no había tratamiento para el SIDA y muchos amigos de ellos lo padecían.
Same
Same here 😢😭
That is because it is beautiful. ❤
same with me.. 😢
The most powerful song about the meaning of friendship i have ever heard
Gladys Knight's part is my favorite and her vocal is so powerful.. I really love this song. This always makes me cry :(
Amazing creation of gods free will...people's who choose love and togetherness over hate
Very, and Elton just readily patches on the vocals simultaneously refuels and soars
Can't agree more with Glady's part .
Me too
Me,too
Que vozes lindas ❤ 2024🥹
Their voices, their appearances, their joy, the warmth of their friendship... everything about this song and this video make me feel peace and calm.
rezza akbar say it again! Everyone pushed this track forward
Me encanta
Elthon John, Gladys Knight, Stevie Wonder and Dionne Warwick los cuatro excelentes voces!!!
Absolutely 💯
❤❤❤
@anitacuchamano4588

Thought it was me alone
hello
@@RockBallads257 hi
Completely agree ...better times...impossible no tears up surely...
Get real, this is the corniest shit on the planet
Stevie Wonder's harmonica playing in this song is legendary!
