They are still around with the same three members (- the afros). The only difference is Stuart Bascombe (the light skinned Brother in the middle) and lead singer Leroy Burgess have switched roles. The other member is Russell Patterson.
As a young girl this was one of my favorite songs damn I miss those days and I don't care what anyone says or thinks but the Afro was the baddest style ever.
Trina F. OMG You just hit a home run with those comments TRUE DAT! ! Trina this beautiful classic just moves your soul in the right direction do you agree?
blue lights in the basement falling in love every week dancing your buff off in the discos just being young and blessed with great memories of the past.
Black Ivory and The Delfonics were the groups no one could touch. They sang such beautiful love songs, the words were clear and their voices were so pure--nothing but solid Black Gold music to our ears. Groups don't come like this anymore or ever will again.
From my experience as a stage musician I could definitely write for them. And have them re-do old hits that fit their personna. Imagine a show with all the love songs by groups of their own gendre????? Money, money & MO money.
DON'T TURN AROUND. WOW.we need to turn back the hands of time and bring back songs like this.we need our oldies today, tomorrow and forever.please bring back this music. PLEASE DO NOT, DO NOT LET THIS MUSIC DIE ON US TODAY.OK. PLEASE. Beautiful song.
I loved this song growing up. The lead singer looks so shy and nervous lol. Look how young and innocent they look. Seeing this video makes me feel butterflies 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Think l have a year on you. Freshman year, this one and You and l were the ones that we were waiting for at the "sets" aka parties that had pluggers. Slow dance eutopia.
@@berrybarfield5056 first of all of all ages with pants hung low, second men calling women bitchrs and breeding Single women with babies are the norm with no wedding bands I don't pick any ..no thank you
Much respect to Black Ivory for the wonderful performance we all witnessed here. Remember, this was live TV, no studio effects, voice enhancement, no do overs. They were and still are one of the great performing groups that proved that they can not only record beautiful love songs, but they can back it up live. MUCH LOVE BLACK IVORY
And whatever reason leroy is not leading his song. Main man sings baritone. Leroy Burgess the guy in the middle sings most of their songs I know all of their hits. But not a bad job.
OMG SUNSHINE I was 16 also🥰 This beautiful classic just moves one's soul in the right direction 4SURE!!!! We were so grateful to have lived through this era of beautiful music this kind of music will never go out of style 🥰🥰 The lyrics and that beat just janked ur heartstrings for decades ❤️❤️ Do U Agree?? What a MASTERPIECE 💯💯 Still listening how about October 26 2022
What an amazing group, song, talent, the 70's was an amazing era, heartfelt songs, the men would sing to the women and we would just melt inside,,im so glad i was born in 64 to have witnessed it!
Roy Spicer ... Black Ivory was ok, but not on the Delfonics level in any way. Their lead singer tended to wander off key, the music wasn't lush like the Philly sound backing The Delfonics, etc....with all due respect.
I'd have to disagree with you noel Trace . It was up to our parents to put us on to music like this. My parents sure as heck did! But that's just my parents.
That was music and those were the days when people had damn good jobs. People were raising their families and us little kids stay in our places. We didn't get in grown folks business. That kind of music take me back when I was in elementary school. We used to hear it on the radio in my dads car or at home when we used to get in front of my mother's and father's company and dance for a dollar or more. That was some music y'all that you can't get back. It is a treasure. I love it. It don't matter what age you are it is good to listen to. Look it here now. I love me some soul music.
Blue lights in the basement... belly grinding and getting those digits at the end of the party... The seventies there will never be another decade like it. The music was it and the times were special...
DCBLUE MINOT yeah when grinding on the wall at a basement party was as close as you could get to “gettin some” and your knees were strong enough to dip.
Yes, back in the days when a brother did'nt need a fancy car, a fancy house, a fancy job or a lot of cash! If your mouthpiece game was tight and your fro was tight! that's all you needed! lol!
Andre Greene: I am 60 and an alpha. Love me some women! Yet, your comment brought me to tears. We have slipped so far. I have a channel called MINDSCRUB. I will be doing a video on feminism and I want to mention your comment.
A working man was good enough for my daughter, and she didn't let her education cloud her judgement! She married him August 19, 2023. They have my blessing!❤️
Man oh Man those Male groups from the 70's . . . They were superb! nicely dressed, harmonizing and those cool steps . . . much love to these guys . . . 🖤
The best music ever I grew up on all the oldies still listen to them this is when people were real folks come together cook outs and in the basement party’s of course house party’s throwing down ❤

This is what u call real music right here!! how I wish I could go back like u wouldn't believe!! Where'd the time go? Why'd it have to go? Take me back please!
@@aeubanks0 u just don't know how much I wish I could go back! Those were the best times I know there was racial issues and other things but we made our own fun we had more love and unity and we loved each more the village raised the child I remember my neighbor could beat our butts when we were doing wrong and my mom didn't say anything we'd be playing up and down the street and my moms would be sitting on the porch talking to the neighbors we could go in their house and they could come over our house we use to tell everyone we we're cousins knowing we wasn't really kin but we use to tell everyone that what happened to us? We had fun and loved each other what happen? That's what we did back then yes I wish I could go back!
I'm 64 . We were smooth. We talked them out of their clothes with our music. We were taught to be gentlemen and ladies. I have worked hard to instill this in my nephews. The sad part is most women in this era don't want this.
+Lisa E, I aree!! This kind of music will make you cry. Its sounds so real & genuine. Music back then had a meaning & the words were real. Unlike todays music.
They made you feel a certain way and the feeling was real! Music from the 70's conveys such a wide range emotions. It's why 70's music is often used in movie soundtracks!
This song brings back so many memories for me I was 16 years when i first saw Black Ivory sing this live. I was in love with Stuart he was fine then and is still fine as wine...would love to see them in concert now...the whole album was off the chain...this is what singing is about....
OMG You just hit the ball out the ballpark with those comments TRUE DAT! ! No skool like ode skool music timeless indeed! 4SURE! ! A blast from the past 4REAL! ! ! February 26 2019 STILL LISTENING

I was only 2 years old when this came out but the music continued to be played throughout my childhood. Especially being born and raised in NYC this played constantly. Much love and respect.

Where are all the true singers that can harmonize music like these guy that use to be on the street corners. Bring them back please! Black Ivory is an awesome group that will always be remembered.
The music industry doesn't want "Love" music to dominate the airwaves anymore. That's why we have the crappy music today. I only listen to old school now and I have gotten my 18 & 19 yr old daughters "hooked" on it to!!
Leo55BabyBoomer you are right, because they were & still are the shit. I recently found out that they are still performing, & maybe one day we will be blessed with a new CD. Oh by the way Tower of Power, Mandrill & New Birth were also amazing 😉😉
Leo55BabyBoomer I forgot to mention that I recently found a Black Ivory website, & if you register Black Ivory will personally send you invites to record signings, & upcoming shows, plus much more. If you're interested I will give the info.😊
I agree with you 100%. They were & still are AWESOME, because they are still performing. I found a Black Ivory website, & if you sign up, they will send you notifications about upcoming shows, as well as other goodies. Enjoy babe, because they just don't make beautiful music like this anymore😊😉
If you lived in the tri-state area (NY, CT & NJ) when BI was hot, you couldn’t go anywhere house parties or clubs without these brothers getting their due on the box. What golden times those were.
back we had pride look at those afros back when we respected each other back when you could slow grind swear back your relaxer and it did not matter back when out kings lived us and sang miss those days Harlem best Black Ivory Harlemite here 61...missing this
Ohh man 😭...miss this music nothing but the best ...I was 7 when I first heard this from siblings ...thanks guys ..now I'm 52 and still listening to this music . and videos 😁
This was when you had to have TALENT!!! How did we let the music become what it is is today? So glad I remember this kind of music and not the fake 💩 we have today. These guys did not need borrowed jewelry, clothes, cars and strippers. They just got there and sang and the rest is MAGICAL 💥
What happened was that producers found that they could save money with synthesizer banging as opposed to real instruments and voice enhancers as opposed to real singing.
I’m so glad that I was I was part of the seventies which was great music, also the late sixties was some great music to.I was born in 56.which I was born into a rich family that was rich in music,we were poor but very happy back then,my kids were born in the late seventies which they are old school music,and and of course they are military Brats all three have traveled around the world,and being a military family your knowledge of what goes on around you means a lot,you look at the in a differently.music plays a big part of your life, many people don’t see it that way.Great music life was not that stressful back then,music in the sixties and seventies is what hold the black family together,And of course don’t forget the mine person in the family was grandma and grandpa.

I was in high school when this was out and played it over and over, over, over,!!!!
You will not see stepping like that anymore. Beautiful Song.❤
Never
Loved this group they had voices and could sing. Miss the 70s.
Me too. The music now doesn't compare.
They are still around with the same three members (- the afros). The only difference is Stuart Bascombe (the light skinned Brother in the middle) and lead singer Leroy Burgess have switched roles. The other member is Russell Patterson.

Music is the one and only tTrue Time Machine !
As a young girl this was one of my favorite songs damn I miss those days and I don't care what anyone says or thinks but the Afro was the baddest style ever.
There is no comparison to seventies music. What a decade.
Absolutely ❤

Tape Master82 Yes indeed!!! Music at it's highest peak of creativity!!
I'll be 63 in August and this kind of music has been the soundtrack of my life.
Still loving this group and song in 2023. I still have my album and cassette. Sweet love music 🎶
This brings back such wonderful memory's why can't they make real music like this anymore

Love Black Ivory. Was a teenager when they started. A senior now. Still love them. Bring back so many memories ❤❤❤
Such a heart-warming tune. Brings back wonderful memories
Wishing they made love songs like this nowadays. I would love to see them perform live.
They're actually still performing. They were in Atlantic City in Summer 2022, all the original members.
I did ,they were great. But just a one hit wonder . Yeah, how sad.
From my experience as a stage musician I could definitely write for them. And have them re-do old hits that fit their personna. Imagine a show with all the love songs by groups of their own gendre????? Money, money & MO money.
Love? 😂
More like yeah I did it but don't leave.
This world would be a better place!!❤❤ with love songs like this!!!
DON'T TURN AROUND.
WOW.we need to turn back the hands of time and bring back songs like this.we need our oldies today, tomorrow and forever.please bring back this music.
PLEASE DO NOT, DO NOT LET THIS MUSIC DIE ON US TODAY.OK.
PLEASE. Beautiful song.
I loved this song growing up. The lead singer looks so shy and nervous lol. Look how young and innocent they look. Seeing this video makes me feel butterflies 🥰🥰🥰🥰
You are right, the group taled about this moment years later, that young brother was super nervous, but his voice was so on point, he got through it!
This era was da 💣 bomb
The lead singer is Leroy Burgess
Google his name and look up his disgraphy 👍
My family knew them.Leroy WAS very shy and sooo nice. They used to rehearse at our apartment in Harlem when I was a kid. I was so crushin on Russell 😍
When music was good
Back when Black men sang to and for Black women....
Just warms my heart.
Yes
Yeah....those were the days (in my Edith Bunker voice)
When black men courted women and LOVE was the goal.
Nina513 THANK YOU ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Nina513 right so true
I was 13 years old, when I took my allowance and bought their 1st album and fell in love 🥰. Love Black Ivory ♥!!

Marcus Sampson. So true!
Yo!, You's know why???? Because They were "The Coldest" of Singers. Old School Talent.
I second that Marcus
Big FACTS king, a lot of groups came out of NewYork but these cats was one of the best 🗽🗽🗽
And whatever reason leroy is not leading his song. Main man sings baritone. Leroy Burgess the guy in the middle sings most of their songs I know all of their hits. But not a bad job.
The vocals are amazing, the choreography simple, expressive, and tight.
I'm Brazilian but I've always liked American romantic music

In the 60s-70s, True Music had Artistry... & ROMANCE! Songs like this only prove it!
I'm fascinated by how they could just "step" sing and be in time. They were great young performers...
LOL that was definitely the thing back in the 70s.
LOL, IT'S CALLED ( HARD WORK AND TALENT )
These guys were in high school when they recorded this. Straight out of Harlem. They had us rockin'.
Where are they from Brandeis high School?
❤ I’ve watched this an unhealthy number of times consecutively… 😂😂😂
Yesssss! Black Ivory was everything. Love the fros. No autotune. Just smooth singing.

I'd have to disagree with you noel Trace . It was up to our parents to put us on to music like this. My parents sure as heck did! But that's just my parents.

Perhaps , the females in that era allowed them to have it because of the personalities they displayed.Respect is earned.
YEAH BABY!!! 🥰 I have been loving these gorgeous brothers since 1973 (16 years old)
Same here I was 7 y/o in 1972 I have always liked them especially Stuart Bascombe❤all those years ago

Leo55BabyBoomer you are right, because they were & still are the shit. I recently found out that they are still performing, & maybe one day we will be blessed with a new CD. Oh by the way Tower of Power, Mandrill & New Birth were also amazing 😉😉
+Virginia Grandy I hear you! Thanks for the update.
Leo55BabyBoomer I forgot to mention that I recently found a Black Ivory website, & if you register Black Ivory will personally send you invites to record signings, & upcoming shows, plus much more. If you're interested I will give the info.😊
+Leo55BabyBoomer you called that right, slow dance or slow grinding..., just sayin!
I agree with you 100%. They were & still are AWESOME, because they are still performing. I found a Black Ivory website, & if you sign up, they will send you notifications about upcoming shows, as well as other goodies. Enjoy babe, because they just don't make beautiful music like this anymore😊😉
This is real music that they just don't make anymore. I look at it as gone, but NEVER FORGOTTEN
🎶💞The ULTIMATE . This is Black Ivory gold. Loved this song then; STILL loved now.
The tone of the song would make you stop and listen.
I had the album kept it on repeat. Oh do I miss the 70's 🎉
Black men with afros! YES!!! I was in high school when this came out. Great memories.
I was nineteen when “Don’t Turn Around came out. I was totally hooked with the group, and fell madly in love with the lead singer. ❤
If you lived in the tri-state area (NY, CT & NJ) when BI was hot, you couldn’t go anywhere house parties or clubs without these brothers getting their due on the box. What golden times those were.
CT! Summer of '72...NEVER better than that!!
featuring a young leroy burgess who would later go on to be one of the most prolific producers of new york dance music...

back when we respected each other
back when you could slow grind swear back your relaxer and it did not matter

Dam u pretty 👍🏾👍🏾
Absolutely beautiful ballad perform live.
This was when you had to have TALENT!!! How did we let the music become what it is is today? So glad I remember this kind of music and not the fake 💩 we have today. These guys did not need borrowed jewelry, clothes, cars and strippers. They just got there and sang and the rest is MAGICAL 💥
What happened was that producers found that they could save money with synthesizer banging as opposed to real instruments and voice enhancers as opposed to real singing.
This is when music was music soul music was real fine music
What a gorgeous song. "Don't turn around. Cause nothing in the past will change." How true. Old school music gave us wisdom.
I’m so glad that I was I was part of the seventies which was great music, also the late sixties was some great music to.I was born in 56.which I was born into a rich family that was rich in music,we were poor but very happy back then,my kids were born in the late seventies which they are old school music,and and of course they are military Brats all three have traveled around the world,and being a military family your knowledge of what goes on around you means a lot,you look at the in a differently.music plays a big part of your life, many people don’t see it that way.Great music life was not that stressful back then,music in the sixties and seventies is what hold the black family together,And of course don’t forget the mine person in the family was grandma and grandpa.
I love you guys the Jam back in the day. I used to sing this all day coming up Rick Brennan from change North Philly Love Big Up New York city.
What beautiful memories for a 10 year old boy , back then....I'm 58 now....
