- RIFF ALMA MATER SONG - LEAN ON ME
RIFF revisited their school and the scene of one of their most famous moments in their career. I shot a video with them in the bathroom at Eastside High where we first saw them in Lean on Me. This was the 25th Anniversary of the start of the group Riff.

To see them still together 30 years later is a testament to true friendship... INSPIRING
R these guys the same ones from 1990??
@@rohonblair2186 the guy Kenny that sung lead in the movie passed away...the videos I have seen of them singing lately it's only 3 of the original members
I bet they didn’t even ask Morgan’s agent/manager if they can get him for this. I don’t see y he wouldn’t have said yes

Wow, that's sad.

For every 112, boys 2 men, there are a thousand groups just like this. That sound just as good but never got the break they deserved.
Former Eastside High School Student. Class of 1990! They graduated with my sister in 1989. I miss those days. Joe Clark was very strict and Eastside High was not as bad as the movie portrays it to be.
So they really did attend Eastside! No wonder they killed the song! And I read that the state took control of the school in '91.
But it made a great movie though. Thank you Eastside High, Riff and OP. Great harmonies!
Mrs. Diaz I would be interested in hearing your story. My name is Charles Walker. I'm not part of a news organization but I'm interested in hearing your story
@@PeteMcCorvey Clark warned the Unions in the 60/70s they were going to destroy the schools. DOE is finally DOA. Gonna take a few decades to restore the once great literacy rate.
The US had a 93-100% literacy rate in the mid-late 1800s. Carnegie and Rockefeller made sure they began the Great Kill in the 1920s. Can’t have these people thinking for themselves man. Who would want that 🙄
My cousin Wrestled for East Side HS
Class of 90
The light skinned dude still looks the same. Good shape too. They sound like wonderful
You've noticed that too lol. They sound even better
@Stepping Onnn Doesn’t have to be him that wrote it. It’s clear as daylight that he still looks the same. 🤷🏽♀️
Said the same thing put in a little weight
He so much cuter back then
Lol u guys are funny!!
JESUS!!!! This literally made me cry. It would have been awesome if Morgan Freeman was there to repeat his reaction to hearing this.
I am glad they got to finish the song this time! This is real music! We need more music like this today! This is absolute gold!
They are such a talented group. Thanks for watching!
Scott Silva April 13th of this year will be the 30th birthday of this scene
@@karleecraziness9216 Yeah, I was talking with Nitty over Christmas about doing something for the anniversary. Stay tuned!
Facts 💯
@@karleecraziness9216 That's right! I've seen this in the movie theater in 1989 at the age of 12! This movie was soooo deep
Omg!!! They still look and sound the same way when we were in school. I graduated with them. They all look and sound AMAZING!!!
Who do we verify from 🤔😆😂
Only thing missing is for Morgan Freeman to return and claim his role after he was shocked with him singing so well in the restroom.
It’s so good to see them all alive and well and sounding the exact same! Even better ❤❤❤❤❤
It's only 3 of the original guys.
The main leader passed away couple years ago … it supposed to be 6 of them
RIP Kenny Kelly ( lead vocalist ) , he passed away in 2016 and most recently Joe Clark
❤
This made me so sad to see… wow he was so talented
Only got better with age! 🥰
30 years later still gives chills
For sure !
You DON'T get THESE harmonies from Auto-Tune, baby!!!!!!!!
landyachtfan79 These guys are the real deal. Thanks for watching
You are ever so welcome!!!!!!
PREACH
Amen!
FACTS!!!!!! PURE RAW TALENT
I swear their vocals & harmonies leave me speechless... literally breathtaking!!
Glad to see their still together after 30+ years!
Hi Nicole hope u doing ok...but how does it feel seeing these guys after thirty years???
Lawd!!! My childhood lies in these vocals!!!! Feels like Eastside High is my own alma mater. They are utterly amazing!!!! #realtears
They are amazing. Thanks for watching and subscribing. Much appreciated.
Same! My cousins and I would run around randomly yelling for the school song to be sung 😂
I was 17 years old when this movie came out. May the real Joe Clark rest in peace.🙏
I didn't know he passed
@@tyrchn18 Morgan Freeman shared the news of his passing, he died following a long illness on December 29, 2020, at the age of 83.
@@Warchild-007 He will be remembered for the legacy he left 💜
May he rest in peace
The best Alma Mater ever written!
From a MOVIE!!💯
You can feel they song through your soul they have amazing voices
Can you guys just re-do every single school song? Y'all got the most insane harmony.
Not everyone wants a religious sounding school song.
These men have lived well over the years. They still have the talent! Bravo!!!
Boys mature to men and sounding even better. Awesome!!!
Eastside high...
I'm surprise these guys and their singing careers weren't bigger. They sound amazing..... I love their voices and the harmonies.... This goes to show that those who can sing can sing for a lifetime without the help of Auto -Tune.....
They probably didn't want to compromise themselves like many of their more successful peers.
Omg they sound better then when they were younger💯👍👍👍🌹🌹💋♥️
The Anointing of God is Definitely on this this Song!! I Love IT
This gave this old boy chills. Took me back to when I first saw the movie. Loved this song from the moment I heard it. This is gold. Straight up gold.
Grew up in the 90s as a young teen and Riff, Shai, Jodeci and Boys 2 Men just to name a few were apart of my upbringing. I will forever be grateful as it was this harmonic music that gave me heart, compassion and understanding in life. Thank ya'll for your beautiful voices have blessed my life.
Chills!!!!!!! No this is how it’s done👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
This song has stayed in my head for years... Classic genius! So soulful...
My mom used to work there as one of her first jobs. She worked with Mr. Clark and was always proud to be associated with the school. It was a tough school, but she was happy for the experience.
When music was great, no auto tune or gimmicks. Still watching after 30yrs. Gives me chills.
Then Morgan Freeman enters bathroom like " Who taught you that? ANSWER ME! I know you didn't do it yourselves" 😂😂😂
"Mrs. Powers, sir." Man, Sams was such a snitch!
"Mrs Powers, These hoodlums done told me something I can't believe!!" 🤣🤣😂
Y'all crazy!!!... All y'all crazy for quoting them lines!
@@itsjemmabondhe paid for it when Mr. Clark slammed’em into that piano when he dragged’em in there to set the record straight😂
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 😩😍
I never even went to Eastside but this song in the movie made me so proud. Lol childhood classic movies/songs
This is still the best school song I have ever heard.
Me crying in 2021 remembering this beautiful school song. And I'm from Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿.
All Aboard!!!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL
This is what needs to get blasted from speakers high from the mountain tops!!! Would feel glorious to wake up to this every morning. Such HIGH VIBES
I know!!
They still sound amazing omg. I come back every now and then juat to hear them from the movie scene to this version. Just beautiful.
My GOD one of the Most beautiful harmonize songs of any time love it!!!
These men didn't age. We about the same age and I remember this alma mater like it was mine LOL.. Great job, Riff
They sound even better now!!
Chills every single time I hear it.
I graduated from BF High School in 1989. Our principal, Dr. Norman K. Spencer was our very own Joe Clark. Padlocks and chains and a bullhorn. He barked each morning at us this chant over the intercom and in the i will never forget it. "Franklin High is moving up! We've got the strength cause we are tough! Moving fast, we won't last. We do our best to pass the tests. We're number 1, we're better than the rest. We look good, act good...and SMELL Good! Franklin High, Franklin High, Franklin HIGH!" They don't breed leaders like him and Joe Clark anymore. RIP, Dr. Spencer! We heard you and believed we could and we DID!
Love this. So beautiful! So sad to hear the original lead singer passed away.
@86HMann not the lead singer of the lean on me singers but the person who was the original singer of the song stand by me bill withers died all of the stand by me singers are alive

Jason Smith I read the original lead singer of riff passed away a few years ago.
Jason Smith the lead singer of the group riff - that is featured in the film “Lean On Me” singing this sing in the bathroom has passed away. His name was Kenny Kelly.
