Most of my life i thought this was a real group.... Until i realized they was just performing the same songs.... Didn't find out till i was 19.... Im 33
When his momma got up with that look of pure JOY ON HER FACE GETS ME EVERYTIME ! THROWS HER ARMS OPEN AH I'M CRYING RIGHT NOW . LET KNOW YOU UNDERSTAND !!
I came here to say the exact same thing lol. It really is one of the most moving moments in cinema. It’s just as impactful now as it was in the theater 25-26 years ago.
@@darnellnelson4253 nope. Billy Valentine from the Valentine Brothers did the leads on the movie version. Marvin Junior from the Dells performed the soundtrack version
@@user-fz4vj6qq4s The Dells sang some of the songs, and they helped inspire parts of the movie, but it's not based on them. It was inspired by other groups of that era as well.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS OF THIS MOVIE!! SHE TALKED ALL THAT ISH AND GOT WETTER THAN THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER WHEN HE STARTED SINGING!! LOOK AT HER.....PASSED OUT!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lawd she tried to fight it 😂😂😂 …..but when Eddie hit that note you can feel it!! One of the best scenes ever…had me in tears of joy & im not afraid to admit it
But the father had a look that says, he will not change his wicked ways. He eventually did, but not before killing and being doped up. Which is more important?
Man I just love how when Duck push the guy off piano, his brother JT and Dressa is right behind him and has his back like “We just tryna sing but if you wanna do it we can do it” .
The Dells were a singing group that was a powerful presence in the music industry back in those days when music was real, about true love, family, friends, community and peace. A fight was a fist fight and not a shooting. Man those days no longer exist.
This movie doesn’t get the credit it deserves! This will forever be a classic can watch it over and over as if it’s my first time watching it!… Robert Townsend did a great job
I'm a soprano and a Pastors Daughter 🙌🏾 Sleep in Paradise ♥️Rev Lee W. Lavernge , so my heart will forever cheer for choir boy when he comes out and hit that high note 💫
@@chocolatepower11 Please check the credits- the character's last name is listed as King, he just pronounced it with a country accent. In fact, there's a video I saw where either the actor or Robert Townsend confirmed is King.
CLASSIC!!!! When he hit that first long note, he made his MAMA feel it, and with PRIDE she forgot where she was and who was around her and jumped to her feet saying THAT'S MY BABY!!!! Tears drop from my eyes because I know that there is no greater feeling than making your Ma/Dad that proud of you!❤ I take this personally because both of my parents are gone... I miss and love them so much and if I could go back in time to the points in my life where I made them feel this way, I would be so happy! He hit that first note drawing courage and strength from his mother and she immediately stood up and sent that MOTHER'S LOVE straight to her son!
This gotta be the greatest acapella singing of all time! Ive this a thousand times...tho its a fictional movie, can you even fathom the powerful harmonizing sounds of the group accompanied by the energy of the crowd!?! This whole scene is Oscar worthy hands down!
"Aw,he ain't nobody!" - random audience member. I swear to God,I don't know why that part ALWAYS cracks me up. But,I still got this movie on VHS,had the soundtrack on tape,and oh my God - the memories of watching it on TV for the first time ❤🖤🤎🖤❤
Best Black Movie ever made IMO,it showed black based teamwork,trials & struggles with systemic racism which we deal with today,the resiliency of (certain)black people back then & today.
THIS MOVIE IS A MASTERPIECE! SO MANY HIDDEN GEMS JUST IN THIS CLIP. 1. When Eddie jumps down with the look of anger in his eyes. 2. How he keeps looking and shawty in the red like (bi@ch, u dun f'd up now) 3. After Eddie kisses her, dude behind her stops awkwardly clapping and is in awe like: WTF? 4. Flash having a moment realization. 5. Big Red's eyes lighting up with money signs like Mr. Krabs 6. Some random dude in the back (around the -1.00 mark) yelling out something like "That Bass is killing it"
What I find so amazing is, I saw this in the theater 4 times- each time, theater was empty except maybe 1-4 other people, plus the people that I'd bought with me (putting them on), so the fact that's its now deemed a culture classic makes me ecstatic, because back then with the very low theater firm out, I was afraid many would miss out on its excellence, which would've been a shame!
My experience as well when I first saw it. The theater was practically empty. Too bad the appreciation it has received now was not present back then. But....everything happens for a reason. Check out the Making of the Five Heartbeats documentary. It reveals so much regarding the obstacles Townsend faced in producing this classic.
I think those are always the Best ways for Serendipity to happen. An out the box hit is great but them word of mouth movies? Those the ones that are always true classics.
Eddie Cain was the MAN!!!! CLASSIC!!! I live this movie. Donnie Simpson once brought Robert Thompson to the gym at Bethesda Naval hospital back in the late 80s. You talk about a class ACT!!!! ROBERT TOWNSEND!!!! 👍🏿
The one part of this movie that I can't sing note for note and word for word all day everyday loved this movie man. Can never get tired of this amazing classic.
Can't nobody sang like Eddie Kang.🤣😂🤣😂
There’s only one David Ruffin lol
That's a #fact 😁😁😁😂😂🤣🤣
It's Eddie kane
@@larundascott4243 King
@@larundascott4243 LoL it really is King! Us southerners messed his name up by calling him Eddie Kane (Kang)
I love when Duck push the guy off the piano and his brother is right behind him and has his back like "do something", lol.

Sho you right!!
I don't know how Robert Towns came up with this Scene let alone the whole entire movie. Pure Genius... I swear I can play ever person in this part
He wanted it to be more of a comedy but after interviewing The Dells he saw how rough it was for them. The Dells sing this song also.
FAX just like he did meteor man.... That man kreative
Most of my life i thought this was a real group.... Until i realized they was just performing the same songs.... Didn't find out till i was 19.... Im 33
Don’t forget about Keenen Ivory Wayans
Robert Townsend

Poetic Nation that’s a fact bro especially when choir boy comes out and sits that note and flashes reaction in the audience
Skyler Williams
I hear you - So true. This whole scene seems/feels like part of documentary (It hits a note in me every time)
He was playing the hell out of the piano, game time. Classic
I agree, so true.
I came here to say the exact same thing lol. It really is one of the most moving moments in cinema. It’s just as impactful now as it was in the theater 25-26 years ago.
Choir boy just does it for me 😁
Periodttt
Boy hit that high note like it was nothing
Girl me too 😂😂😂😂
Can't nobody sang like Eddie Kane Jr, that's a fact.
But Choir Boy came off the top rope lol
Eddie King 👑
That is very true no lies detected! But I think this time choir boy for the 🏆

Just Outta Curiosity Were Any Of Them Really Singing??
@@darnellnelson4253 nope. Billy Valentine from the Valentine Brothers did the leads on the movie version. Marvin Junior from the Dells performed the soundtrack version
One of the greatest movies ever made!
Agreed
I love Eddie part he know he can sing
One of my favorite movies
Yes, glad to have met Robert Townsend on the set of making Little Richard. So nice and real.

Robert Townsend need his flowers for this movie really had me thinking this was group
I thought it was based on The Dells or did they sang the songs for the movie?
@@user-fz4vj6qq4s The Dells sang some of the songs, and they helped inspire parts of the movie, but it's not based on them. It was inspired by other groups of that era as well.
This is based on a real group just like the temptation,, go back in time and open the arkive back in the day that's all sweetie 🥰
Any Black person born before 1990 knows all of the words for The Five Heartbeats and Friday.
I was born in 93’ and I’m singing all these songs on key 😂💯👌🏽💚
Hell yeah I swear I can say it verbatim
Damn accurate

He was like hell naw
Flash looking at Eddie like Vegeta looking at Super Saiyan Goku for the first time.
Im crying 😭😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Vegeta was proud af and actually congratulated goku with a smile when he first saw ssj goku fighting frieza. There was no hate or jealousy at all
PERFECT my boi.... PERFECT. @Joshua Perez
The Dells definitely get the recognition that they truly deserved
Yeah we don’t acknowledge how cold they were. Took this movie to the next level
This film will never lose its luster.

It was nice to see the smile on his father's face. Priceless
Some people never have to do another thing in life and they will still always be legends. Robert Townsend is one of those people. 💯

All his work is impeccable.
Just wish he got paid like it

Shout out to the real voice behind Eddie Kane, the one and only Marvin Junior!!!!!
You just dropped some knowledge on me fam
@@spencermoore90 I got you!!!!!
Movie voice of Eddie King is Billy Valentine….Soundtrack song is Marvin from the Dells🫡
Eddie King’s singing voice was performed by William “Billy” Valentine.
Surely this happened a lot of times back in the days. Would have loved to be there 🔥🙌🏽
One of the best scenes in this movie 💯👌🏽
Damn I get chills when I hear this part maybe it's just me
Not just you

Is there heart ? Is there heart in the house tonight???.... I'm mexican a grew up off this movie! That's more crazy

Is Otis Williams song on The Temptations the other one ?

Dresser adding that bass took it to another level.
