I’m 72 years old, white and I still love this music. This is what MUSIC used to be.
just turned 60, white and this is when music was GOOD!
I'm a 77 year old white woman and this music moves me. This is my kind of music Motown. I find myself slow dancing in my living room with just me. Oh this music is good for the soul. Thank God for the artists that made this kinda music
This is Philly Soul, but we got you. Keep jamming it!
A Stax museum documentary just came out yesterday on Max you should check it out. It covers some amazing artists.
I'm right there with you. I grew up in the '60s & '70s on soul & RnB music. This song is especially great with the wonderful Teddy Prendergast singing lead vocals. Wonderful.
You don't have to be white to know Harold and Company. Timeless indeed.
I’m 53 and here i am 👏👏👏👏👏👌
Yes, I am 81 and it is still really good.
80 years old and I still know every note and word of this song...danced to it so many times with my 'special girl'. Love to Carron Martin wherever you might be.
Damn, Carron ghosted you? 😢
@@gtawebdesignseoexpert4536 I don't think he means in the spirit of ghosting from 2020....rip Ms. Martin and Bob.... I hope you are well
So you were about 30 years old when this song came out, pretty cool

Miss songs like this where real artistry was put in them.Lyrics and song styled to perfection.
They don't make music like this anymore
My mom just passed last November and my Dad passed when I was sixteen... I swore off Motown and similar musicians, except Otis Redding cuz he's my soulmate musically... anyway, I just had a fight with my partner and I found myself typing out "if you don't know me by now, you will never ever know me" been together 8 years. And I listened to this again, tho I know it so well and it just made me think of my parents too. I'm 38 with almost a year of sobriety and my parents died from their addictions and left me with nothing. No guidance, no support... I have children I fight for every day. They never fought for me the way I do for my kids... My point here tho is that my parents had me grow up on oldies and Motown, especially my Father. I understood them through songs like this more than I ever understood them otherwise. I hope this song reaches through time for other people as well.
What a beautiful comment ❤️thank you for being so open, you reached my heart deeply🙏
I identify may you continue to receive all the blessings that life has to offer. Paul H a friend of Bills !!!
June 2024 I’m 67 and still sing my heart out to this ❤❤❤❤
Amazing song! I do wonder if people today actually hear these lyrics? This song says it all… A brilliant song I’ve always loved.❤

RIP Teddy
I am white, live in Sweden, 68 now, but remember how really enjoyed this song - and other soul music - and still do!! 💯🎶🎵
I'm 45 years old playing this for my 15 year old son. He's such a musician and lover of old school music so I let him listen to what I grew up listening to with my dad and mom.💞💞💞
👍👍👍👍👍
Good job Mom.
I remember the year this song came out. Saw it all happen. Met Teddy in Chicago.
Such a cool mom
@@Grandtrunk THANKS
All these old classics are the best even now ❤
One of the most powerful and beautiful songs ever written.
Man the music back then was so perfect.
,,
So many of us whites people thought it was an original by mick hucknal simply red
You mos def got that right!!
Guess you have to be at a age to understand beautiful music . Takes me back to my childhood days when life was simple and music was great 😢😢😢
Gen Xcelent here baby. One thing about our generation, we had the greatest love songs, musitions, rap, R&B music this world has ever heard!!!
I am 64 years old and I have something to say about the song in my life as of late. I know who I am I've always known who I was. People have always tried to control me and take my light somebody even tried to kill me for it. Can't take someone else's light you can however have your own. God sees everything he's been watching you know who you are and he knows who you are and I have a pretty good idea of who you are just saying you better leave this child of God Alone you've been playing with me too long it's over that's about ready to rain fire and brimstone on your head don't you get it I pray he has Mercy on all of you
I'm a metalhead but I absolutely love this song.
Respect!!
@Kiki CHOU wym? the o’jays arent metal. Hence the “but”
Music is universal my friend, there's no genre above the other. Forget about labels.
@@JackWalker12993 you're absolutely right
Being a metalhead doesn't somehow make your opinion notable
Rest in peace, Teddy and Harold, thanks for all the the great music and memories!
My words!!!!!!!!!
🙏🏾❤️
Yes. Still listening. Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, the Chi Lites, Stylistics, Al Green, Earth Wind and Fire. Aretha. All of it so good. Listening just "sends me".
HAROLD MELVIN AND THE BLUE NOTES ARE ABSOLUTE PROOF OF GOD SHOWING OFF !!!
REST IN PEACE MY FRIENDS !!!
Man, that got me to the core.
AMEN to That!❤
As JRLee said; Amen to that! 💜
I love this song, oldy but goody ❤
let's not forget the magic of Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes was the amazing Teddy Pendergrass handing lead vocals!!!
Teddy Pendergrass at his finest. What a voice.
#2024 -OLDIES will never get Old in my house❤ This is real music right here!
I'm 42 and I listen to this song when I was a toddler. I'm a 1981 baby

I also just turned 80. Just keep listening to this beautiful art form 🎶
Teddy's voice was so POWERFUL!!!!
Yes yes
Saw Teddy in concert in San Diego in the early 80's. He had gone solo by that time. What a man, what a voice, what a concert!!!!! So deeply missed.
One of the best songs that speak about a mans true feelings.
Yes. Still listening. Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, Chi Lites, Stylistics, Al Green. So many. So good. Listening just "sends me"

I thank God for music 🎵🎶 such as this.
26 years old but gotta love the classics ❤
Man the music back then was so perfect. Even in 2024 this song still speaks.Love to everyone .👨🦽💕
I believe this is THE song where Teddy started blowing up as a voice rhat could not be contained or controlled and led him on to go solo! It is just magnificent!
This was a time for so many GREAT black groups. They all sang the grooves off the records.
Rest In Peace teddy 😂😂
This song hits the soul all in the right places!
Amen!
The Corlee Family, You are so right & that's why it was called "Soul Music". You nailed it.
Memories of my first love...❤
Rest In Peace teddy bear
I played this song so much when my kids were young….it’s now one of my sons fav songs! It’s kind of a bond between us❤️
That's waaay cool! Gr8 song 2 bond 2!
Makes me miss those ones who raised us
Best version of the song!!! There is no voice like Teddy's.
Soul music like this needs to return to popular music today
It will never happen because every generation after the next are so mislead and don't know what true love really is....
We all wish!!
Years ago I went to my first house party. Blue lights, soul music, and slow dancing were the order of the day. When this song came on all the elements of life my parents had yet to tell me about came to fruition. It was learning as you go. God I miss those days.
I’m learning as I go rn lol. Ima make sure to cherish
Me too brother, me too
Rest In Peace teddy bear ❤❤
Husband dedicated this song for me..he told me listen to the words..still play it eventhough he pass on
Rest In Peace teddy bear 😂😂

Happy 78th birthday to Kenneth Gamble who was born in Philadelphia on August 11, 1943, Gamble has had a hand in writing over 3,000 songs, and with Leon Huff wrote songs like this classic
This song will always hit my heart. I hope the younger generation will love it as much as I do.
24 and I love this!!!!

He had to be going through something when he sung this because i felt it in my soul! My granny and grandad use to listen to this music and now im listening to it!
That's so wonderful to hear! 💜
Just came acros this song in the movie kaleidoscope, had to pause the movies to come have a listen. Now am hooked.
That series had great music!!! Wish I could make a playlist with all the songs from that show..they used all the best classics!!!!!
For those wondering, the other musicians are guitarists Bobby Eli, Norman Harris, and Roland Chambers; bassist Ron Baker; drummer Earl Young; bongo player-conga player Larry Washington; vibraphonist Vincent Montana, Jr.; pianist Leon Huff; organist Lenny Pakula; horn players Sam Reed and His Horns; and string players Don Renaldo and His Horns and Strings.
Thank You
They certainly don’t make groups like that anymore. Powerful group of musicians.

This song is unreal
Yet another smash hit from Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes featuring the legendary Teddy Pendergrass......Timeless classic, beautiful track
Best music to ever happen
The best version of this song....wonderful voices
best version ? come on...it''s an original
@@whyz63 Sorry. Buy I just wanted to say that the best version of the song remains the original version
Right on
It absolutely SLAYS the Simply Red version. I can't even listen to that version. It's this one only for me!
@@BillGraper Agreed. I never really liked the SR version. And when I heard this, I realized what it was supposed to sound like.
Never, ever, gets old!
Damn, I miss this era. I'm so glad I have my old LPs
Part of my childhood.Oh Lord the best music ever.Nothing like the sounds of Motown.63 years young.Can close my eyes and be back in the era of time.

Doesn't matter what year, what genre, flat out hard to beat!
I'm 30 years old, and this music really speaks volumes. Why can't we have the newer generation make these types of music
I knew first the Simply Red version and I love them but... Oh wow.. This is truly soulful! Oh my!!
Still Listening in 2024
This is music when music was truly music!
This is one of the best songs I have ever heard. Thanks to Melvin and the Bluenotes for this perfect delivery of this timeless soul classic.
