I'm 76, this song was playing when I went into basic training March 1970... don't recall who it was by... maybe Joe Robinson... DaNang area of 'Nam Nov. '70-'71...
9th Grade, High School. Got a battery operated Record Player and Love On A Two-Way Street for my birthday, 1970. I'm 68 years old and I can still blow this song And do the dances.
1970. Those were the days. I’d not exchange the memories for anything. Hit, after hit, after hit. All from the palm of your hand and an AM portable radio. ❤
When I was dating my wife of 52 years and counting we would listen to this song on the car radio 1970 beautiful rrendition of lost love sad but romantic .
I was lucky enough to see them in concert in '74. They were the opening act for Al Green. The entire audience sang along...a real moment (pun not intended).
@@stevenmyhre2242 Yes! It sounds like 1967. Definitely a hit that sounds like it came out during the peak of the Vietnam war. 1970-71 was a continuation of mid to late 60s vibes since the decade was barely starting.
I met her when I was 16. I went into the service. We saw each other over the years for a while. It’s been 23 years since I have seen her. I still dream once and a while of holding her hand or seeing her in a wedding dress. This is my favorite song and it is her to me. Can not listen with out tears flowing down my face. This is what Soul music is about. I am 66+ now and still feel a love for her as strong as ever. I always will as long as I have this song.
And then Hip Hop and Rap came along, and these beautiful, romantic songs were put on the shelf and marked “old school” or “outdated”. Not in my home. We still appreciate the old songs that appreciate women, not insult them.
I'm like Jerry, I want to thank people and the generation before us that left us with such wonderful music. Stacy Lattisaw released her rendition of the song, the elders let us know, this isn't a new song.
The best era of pop music. Bands played like hell for peanuts, no money. But their songs live on. They inspired millions of people and inspired many childbirths. Long live 70s Soul!
@@minako134 everybody deserves money if they work for it. Nothing should ever be handed to you on a plate unless your incapable of living in a society.
1970: all-time masterpiece 2022: all-time masterpiece There really is no precedent for this song. It's one of the most beautifully produced masterpieces I've ever heard. Desert island kinda thing ❤
First song that I ever slow-danced to. I was 13 y.o. in 1970 and was at a dance at my elementary school (8th grade). I'll always remember you, Dana Ward (R.I.P.) and Lisa Farrington.
Omgosh so I was right all along!! Your the only person so far that knows it came out in 1968!!! And not on 69'. And bcz it said 1970 I was in disbelief. But I lived in L.A. 1968-69, Then back in Hawaii this song arrived in 1970.
You have no idea how many times I played the beginning of this song wondering were I’ve heard it from, then it hit me! Jay z sampled this song for his song “Empire State of mine”!!!!
Yes, lost on a two way street. Goodness brings back memories reminds of my parents dancing to this now I see why. ❤️ Miss seeing my parents dancing together. Hope their Dancing in heaven married for 45 years. Omg how did they ever put up with each other that long. ❤️
For me, it was 1971, and I really thought I had found love on a 2 way street, I still know her after all these years. I hope she remembers back then when I met her.
I am still listening to this song, October 4, 2020. I was in the 9th grade in 1970 at Whitted Junior High School in Durham, North Carolina when this song came out. That was 50 years ago and so much has happened in my life good and bad. I miss this music and old friendships from back in the day in school.
In these days In these times When is it ever a "Two way Street." Lord may you bless others with abounding love that consists of two ways, both sides of the street not one sided love but bless those who are willing to receive. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
Heard this tune for the 1st time about 18 years ago. My computer crashed and I couldn't remember the title. I spent ages looking through lists of soul songs with love in the title. Thought I'd never find it again. Never forgot it though. Today is a happy day. To be that memorable a song after hearing once is pretty amazing.
Nah, I know that N.Y., and other big cities like in L.A. they always gets the first of first hits, I was in L.A. when this song came out at the end of 1969. Even though it says 1970 thats when it reached to Hawaii then.
It's because they were singing to show their emotion and tell their story. Now-a-days it's more about "look how I look" "look what I can do with my voice".
@@Talkinonthetube - _"Look what I can do with my voice"?_ ...Are you talking about auto-tune? Because that's all anyone DOES with their voice, now a days
True love ❤️ comes from the heart ♥️. it’s not so much about beauty. it’s the heart ♥️. oh yeah, this will always be one of my favorite songs.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was a young girl and my big cousin would take me to the shows at the Loews Palace in DC. I would go back and show my friends the steps the next day. WOW! I miss those innocent days.
If you’re here for this song and reading this you have great taste in music 🎵🎵😎.

1970 and still love this song❤ 54 years has gone by so fast since 😢
9th Grade, High School. Got a battery operated Record Player and Love On A Two-Way Street for my birthday, 1970. I'm 68 years old and I can still blow this song And do the dances.
I was born in 1965 and remember listening to this kind of music and have enjoyed it ever since 🎉
Love on a two way street. And lost it on a lonely highway!! True love, will never die.
1970. Those were the days. I’d not exchange the memories for anything. Hit, after hit, after hit. All from the palm of your hand and an AM portable radio. ❤
Music will never be this good!
Timeless...Love Love It ❤❤
One of the best songs of the 70’s

I was lucky enough to see them in concert in '74. They were the opening act for Al Green. The entire audience sang along...a real moment (pun not intended).
This song is timeless. It was my very fist 45 record that I purchased at the age of 16. Played it over and over again. Love it! Love it today♥
True love will surely never die still here in 2023!! Love it 👍🏾❤️❤️❤️

Here with love on December 2023❤

This, and Stacy Lattisaws' version are pure golden memories to me. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The MOMENTS belong in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.
This is it. This is golden.
Thé best music ever ! I miss the 70 s
Ya I agree 😊😊
Met a woman I loved with it❤
I randomly started singing this song today. I just had to hear it. It's been years.
It stays in your head 😊
A song written in 1968, but made and released in March 1970. It still has a strong late 60s feel.
Ya great 60s feel ❤

This is the very best....
This melody is extremely melancholy and soothing to soul. The original version is the best one here.
Yes - it is sooooo soul - tearing --- many songs back then in this time period were like this! "Tragic" songs were what I believe they were called.
I like this cover. This is not the original. It was first released by Lezli Valentine in 1968.Stacy Lattisaw did a nice cover as well.
I also like the version by stacy lattisaw.
@@may5588 this is the original version of the song.
@@richardjanes976 This is not the original version! The original version was done by Lesli Valentine! Stop commenting without doing some research!
*THAT'S GROWN FOLK MUSIC*
You got it!!
On Army KP while in Basic Training first time I ever heard this song on big console stereo in mess hall. Liked it immediately.
Crazy cool 😊
Lovemoldmschool music gives u such a warm feeling inside
I've always preferred this version
Same... -Hi army!- 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Jaggy Babeh yeah they remake wasn’t that good
What's the other version?
N P th-cam.com/video/m6T-B155p0Y/w-d-xo.html there you go
Jaggy Babeh is there really "another" version.. I mean really?😜
Beautiful version. The lead singer in this song is Billy Brown.
Love it !!! I was about 10 years old when this first came out . I'm 60 now and it still sounds just as great as when I first heard it .
I'm 67 brings best the greatest memories
Me too love it!

This is what is called MUSIC. Nuff said
When Music, Was Music.
Released in March 1970...got to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100...and got to #1 for 5 weeks on the Soul charts...CLASSIC!!!
thanks for the info man.Nice to see people are into real music instead of todays trash.
@@frankolsen9304 not everything is trash but maybe maistream music
Fort Campbell K.Y. Bowling alley, drinking beer and eating hotdogs, this song played all day on the motorola🤩😎
I wasn’t yet a teen. Good music I can still remember.
Not yet 2 yrs old in March 70.

If you play this in a jukebox, almost everyone sings along!
This song love on a two way street 1968 was the first oldie i heard back in 1985 and fell in love with it ...abraham
Omgosh so I was right all along!! Your the only person so far that knows it came out in 1968!!! And not on 69'. And bcz it said 1970 I was in disbelief. But I lived in L.A. 1968-69, Then back in Hawaii this song arrived in 1970.
i love all motown music. such soul.
You have no idea how many times I played the beginning of this song wondering were I’ve heard it from, then it hit me! Jay z sampled this song for his song “Empire State of mine”!!!!
Yes, this is where the sample came from.
I knew that beat sounded familiar 😅
Yes, lost on a two way street. Goodness brings back memories reminds of my parents dancing to this now I see why. ❤️ Miss seeing my parents dancing together. Hope their Dancing in heaven married for 45 years. Omg how did they ever put up with each other that long. ❤️
To be fooled is a hurting thing, but to be loved and fooled is a crying shame...
I know you heard it before, but here We go again, That was Music
Still listening with me July 2020
What a magical song! I'm glad that it at least went to #1 on Billboard's Soul Chart that year (should have been #1 on ALL the charts).
It should still be on the charts
Totally
Probably the most beautiful song ever written.
This song always made me want to cry when I was a kid. So beautiful and sad.
They sang this song, the best!!
I remember these days listening to the delfonics and stylistics also, omg....brings back so many memories.
Great times
I love you dad, mom miss you and thanks for the music and memories.
To me this song has so much meaning 1971 junior hight School.True Love .
Just found myself singing this song to myself, so here I am, listening to this great oldie September of 2021.
Me too
Perfect song for a love sick teenager like I was in 1970, great for feeling melancholy.
My Mom picked me up from kindergarten. She said, "Can you believe it's 1970!?!"
For me, it was 1971, and I really thought I had found love on a 2 way street, I still know her after all these years. I hope she remembers back then when I met her.
An absolutely beautiful song!
Yes i AGREE
THIS WAS REAL MUSIC BACK IN THE DAY 100%
They dont make music like this anymore..
Yes it was. We actually knew all the words..lol..still love this song.
Music created and performed by real human musicians. Ain't nothing like the real thing!
1970 again. What a year for music. One hit after another.
a classic beautiful song from 1970 and brings back much good memories!
70s baby
An awesome classic gem from 1970 and a million seller! God bless!

Wow. Still Great.
Now I call old school soul a national treasure
An undisputed classic,no doubt about it!
1970 was a fabulous year for great music... maybe the best one in my lifetime and this song is an example why....

Thought I'd never find it again. Never forgot it though. Today is a happy day. To be that memorable a song after hearing once is pretty amazing.
Hi! Here to remind you of this great song! =￣ω￣=
❤
This music was the best all times
The doo wop of the 50's lead to the soul of the 60's and 70's. Some of the greatest music ever made. It just doesn't get any better.
and never will. These were the best music era.
This music has its roots in doo-wop. but the lyrics have deeper meaning than 50"s era music, IMO.
Yeah
Nah, I know that N.Y., and other big cities like in L.A. they always gets the first of first hits, I was in L.A. when this song came out at the end of 1969. Even though it says 1970 thats when it reached to Hawaii then.
When people could sing.
It's because they were singing to show their emotion and tell their story.
Now-a-days it's more about "look how I look" "look what I can do with my voice".
And it still is the music. We invest in music soley for the purpose of ones satisfaction. Anytime, any place. Any year
Music is the action of your soul.
Falsetto, no less!
@@Talkinonthetube - _"Look what I can do with my voice"?_
...Are you talking about auto-tune? Because that's all anyone DOES with their voice, now a days
16 yrs old....and sprung on a LOW-RIDER OG..
yes that's right....my BABY DADDY to this date. My # 1 jam.
Correction: I was 16 yrs old back-in-the day. 1973
Freakin covid quarantine & ISOLATION!.. searched for this song & found...sooo sooothing💖
Beautiful voice..right up there with the amazing Russell Thompkins of the Stylistics!
I love falsetto singers
How about Harry Ray and Eddie Kendricks
Good comparison - I love both groups!! Had records from both groups and this brings back so many memories!!
And Eugene Record of the Chilites
Eddie kendricks an RON BANKS
We had 45's back in the day and played this song hundreds of times...
😎
I don't care who covers this song this version can't be beat!
This is good music!!! 🎵🎶🎵🎶
True love ❤️ comes from the heart ♥️. it’s not so much about beauty. it’s the heart ♥️. oh yeah, this will always be one of my favorite songs.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I still love this song 😢
Great Song! Jesus Loves You My Dear Friends! God Bless You Always! John 3:16

Very true, true love is there to stay. 49 years later, still waiting
I love yu Sheena Dacosta.. we're sister the scene sentiments!
Deeeep words indeed - so sad, I tear up when I listen to this song!
A classic time in music, when love forcefully gripped the emotion. This beautiful song, certainly, amplified strong feelings from that era!

Truly a classic Anna sunshine Heiland. 😊A gem with very beautiful heart touching lyrics. 😊
The Golden Era of music.
Im only 36 but believe this is the best era of music.
So much soul, emotion and amazing raw natural voices.
Best decade: 1965-1975 Best year for me 1970. Young teen back then. Thanks.
I was a young girl and my big cousin would take me to the shows at the Loews Palace in DC. I would go back and show my friends the steps the next day. WOW! I miss those innocent days.
Teresa Johnson this song reminds me of couples only at the skating rink
D.C., the Howard, Warner, & Lincoln theaters had classy classic concerts during the 60's and 70's. Summer in the DMV back the day, Chocolate City.
@Teresa Johnson Yes...! I’m from DC and I use to Lowe’s Palace & Mark IV Supper Club to see them with other groups like Choice Four, etc...
I love this version!
we were THE GENERATION! it will never come again
Great song from the moments.
I've always loved that song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
To be loved and fooled is a cryin shame! Been there a few times but it made me a stronger person
True that
