The funny thing is, this song was in regular rotation on every Top 40 and R&B station in America. It played all the time. Air Personalities had a field day with it (lol).
This is how we used to do it back in the day...Grown ass men sing to their women. The lyrics are the best part of 70s music and the best part of YOUR reaction! Most reactions highlight the music, performance, or voice - all of which were great in this era...but its the lyrics that tell the story....70s music storytelling at its finest!
I believe Major Harris was in The Delfonics pretty much after they had all their hits in the late 60s - very early 70s before going solo and having a huge hit with this song. It hit # 5 on the Billboard charts and #1 on the R&B charts in 1975. Gotta love that Philly Soul.
Check out the Delfonics' classic and gorgeous "La La (Means I Love You)." They were another great "Philly Soul" group. After that track don't miss out on "Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time" and "Ready or Not Here I Come," the latter of which was famously sampled by the Fugees.
Yep, he was with the Delfonics in the late sixties early seventies, and this was his biggest solo hit. Many Gen Xr's, probably me included, were most likely conceived off of this song.
I remember this song being pretty big on the London Soul scene in the mid-70s but I have to admit I didn't realise Major Harris had been in the Delfonics. whose lead singer was a high tenor. They were massive in the early 70s and I believe produced by Thom Bell who also worked with the Stylistics
Like and remember this song well. "Soul Train" Don Cornelius was the host. A true visionary. One of my favorite shows of all time. Watched it on Saturday afternoons into adulthood. Often I referred to to " Soul Train" as Dance School. No grinding of TV at that time. Ms. Britt if you're interested in clothing style in 70's check check out "Soul Train Dance Line" videos. The dances and clothes are fabulously entertaining. The videos are only several minutes long. Good reaction. Enjoyed your humor. Lyrics aren't always meant by the artist as they are to the listener. Our interpretations can be varied. But sometimes they only have a singular meaning. ✌️
Yes, this is a grinding song definitely., Nowadays. But back then you had certain censorship rules you had to follow, the 80s and 90s changed that. But now in 2024 we got people on TH-cam saying why aren’t they grinding? This is a grinding song.
Britt, you are correct, he was with the Delfonics! This was a jam back in the day! Great song!
LOL - yeah , this was back in those innocent times!! Don Cornelius what such a great host for Soul Train, It was MUST SEE TV when I was in my teens!!

Great 70s song! What a smooth jam
One of the HOTTEST slow jams from back in the day!
The great Don Cornelius hosted SOUL TRAIN.
It was ME that...inspired the back ground Woman singer
BUT they never paid me for it, but it's my best work.
The host of Soul Train was Don Cornelius

You must do the studio version, the woman in the background will definitely make you blush. You owe it to yourself!
In the LP version or longer version the woman in the background does her thing toward the end of the song for a good minute or two....

Awesome, smooth song!! 😊
Today. A woman would make a police report if a man said these words to her. The man would lose his job and be put on a list in your neighborhood.
Great reaction. I'm from Minnesota. More Prince.
Britt, thank you for doing this as a reaction. My wish would be for you to do Luther Vandross' version. He's the one that made it LEGENDARY!!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This that love making vibe
I love the hair!
Soul train cut the moans at the end...oh well.
I just realized that this song was also sung by Luther Vandross as well! 😮💨 soon as he kept on singing the lyrics I instantly put 2 & 2 together!
Reverted back to, Your Cute.🍀🐧🐧
Luther Vandross has a great version of this song. Beautiful.
Delfonics and Major Harris was the Baritone.
Britt as always you’re awesome, you need to react to Luther Vandross cover of this song..PDC all the way👍🏾
i have a request... please don't miss this one... band; Lover Boy...song; Lovin every minute of it
Luther covered this to perfection.

Yes Luther vandross covered the song
this is sex on a Space Ship, as in...BARBARELLA
When something like this plays, you can NEVER be distracted, it takes the Soul over.
Yes, ma’am…PDC-worthy. Sweetness and romance…
Homegirl.... Shhhhhh.....
As good as this is, Luther Vandross version is better. Check out Luther's live version, it's a PDC.
Luther killed this song...so much better than this.
This young lady talks waaaay too much.
