I was a little country girl from SC and moving to NYC and having the privilege of growing in between both…..Saturday was my favorite day!! Music like this made me feel so happy even though my life was so sad…..RIP momma & Grandma….thank you
That's actually Harold Melvin. Teddy didn't take lead singer until Harold left the group. Teddy's voice is very distinctive. But he's in the background.
@@stephaniejames4940Teddy Pendergrass was the lead singer on all their hits except this and the 2 songs with Sharon Paige. Harold Melvin stopped touring with the group bc people thought Teddy Pendergrass was Harold Melvin but he never left. It was his group
❤❤❤glad i was born in the 50s,and at the age of 67 i can say i have fall in love dance sing along married created my beautiful soñs to these soul touchind songs.😉🤩😊when sòng lyrics leave ladies dizzy❤✔🔊🇯🇲🇬🇧
The days remember watching my parents partying to this music that's when you wasn't allowed to be in adults faces you and your siblings had to stay in the room when the adults where parting
Long shot but, has anyone ever heard of group called Lifeline that did this song? Late 70’s. Singer named Mark Gingras. I’m desperate for an album. Record Believed to have been recorded in Florida.
Bought this album in 1975 while visiting NY. Now at 62 still with my turntable it's always on.
T.S.O.P....T.S.O.P....T.S.O.P!!! GAMBLE AND HUFF blessing the world as only they could do!
Yes! They did.
I LOVE THIS SONG. IT SPEAKS OF THE TRUTH

YESSIR 👍
This was such a great song back in the day. I miss those days. So many girls asking "You want something to do?" To be True!!! It was so hard to do.
I remember watching them performing this cut on Soul Train way back in the day.
I was 12 years old when this came out coming from a family of 13 and you’re number 10 in the bunch you have heard it all!
Player Status right here. 👍🏽👏🏽✊🏾 Steppers where ya at. Keep it smooth.
Go to work steppers!
Strictly Memphis pimpin real highway music and Cadillacs and cognac while jamming back trax from ghetto streets to executive suites
Love my music 🎶🎼 and HAROLD MELVIN AND THE BLUE NOTES ,, WAS A WONDERFUL GROUP BACK IN THE 60S AND 70S,,, WOW
Harold Melvin's best lead vocal.
Class, style, talent & delivery....Musical Artistes from this era embodied all that, Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes included
We
1:41 great song music is the bomb wish this kind of music could come back
This why we who love real music have to keep this going !
I ❤ old school.....
This is about long distance love ❣️
So much truth in these words!!!
Stepper's cut. Chicago!
One of my all time favorites...❤
I first heard this at a steppin set. It has become one of my favorites.

Ah, the old bait and switch. That ain't Teddy!!! There is no mistaking Teddys smooth sexy baritone voice. I listen to him every day.
Harold Melvin on Lead Vocals!!
To be true 👍, this is harold melvin lead singer no teddy on this one

Um dos melhores grupos da década de 70.

Ain't nobody had a voice like Teddy
That's actually Harold Melvin. Teddy didn't take lead singer until Harold left the group. Teddy's voice is very distinctive. But he's in the background.
This is Harold Melvin not Teddy!!
Teddy is background.

Y'all must be youngins.. that ain't never heard this.. Harold Melvin & the bluenotes were the shot in the early 70's
I've been binge listening to their songs for little over a year now. I envy the nostalgia that you old folks have. It brings me joy
My son is 25 and that’s all he listen to is the old school bootsy O’Jays Stevie Wonder and many more
I am a youngan but I do no real music
Sat that again. They sleep ,they don't know. This is classic
For those who think Harold Melvin can't sing. This to this. The man is bad.
A Earl Young Drum Groove 🥁🥁🥁
Love this.
It's 2024 and this is still a amazing song. Can't beat classic soul music. 😂
He was sosososo gifted
This is my jam.from way back
I met Harold Melvin Teddy pendergrass the rest of the group way back at Mavericks flat
Hey the kids today don't understand this kind of music 😢
so true!
Because The Moral Standards Have Fallen So Badly
He was a legend
I love his style
He was the man
How bout that organ at the beginning!!! Just nothing like it today!!! UGH
YES!!!!!
The days remember watching my parents partying to this music that's when you wasn't allowed to be in adults faces you and your siblings had to stay in the room when the adults where parting
I love this songs
My stuff❣♥️♥️♥️
He was the greatest
He was sosososo bless
He was sosososo talented
Boo Mane Tru Nfrared waz hearr ✌️🤫🤧💨💦🔥💯 Harold Melvin and the blue notes
Mind music
❤❤
Who's the fool who said Harold can't sing?
All the Teddy 🧸 fans 😂😂
Sometimes I wonder, Was I born in the wrong era ( born in the 1990s)
Absolutely! music wise anyway 😂
where CHICAGO STEPERS AT??
Remember to mind you business don't steal
Long shot but,
has anyone ever heard of group called Lifeline that did this song? Late 70’s.
Singer named Mark Gingras. I’m desperate for an album.
Record Believed to have been recorded in Florida.
🎉
The truth
Sampled by Akhenaten in the track of chien de paille ( Maudit soient les yeux fermé)
He was sosososo fine
Classic don't make them like this..
Love motown
not motown
Not Motown, it's the Philadelphia sound. Produces Gamble & Huff. ATL
TSOP. The Sound Of Philadelphia. Gamble and Huff. Kenny Gamble the songwriter. Leon Huff on the boards. MFSB on the rhythm. TSOP. No motown
Philadelphia Sound all day TSOP 😊 LOVE IT
Someone is clearly trolling 🤣
How very true it's hard to be true so very very true especially you love that girl and I'll down all the girls looking at you
Don't know where to go,🤷🤔👀🤳⚰️,, who ever believe in love,, don't believe in god
