Presidents - 5 10 15 20 25 30 years of love

[Savadorason1]

Luv this, diggin the bass.

[bettie826]

I was in love this song before I met my husband, when I met him, I longed for all of those years...we made it to 27 and we had our ups and downs but mostly we were happy. I miss him. RIP Jimmie, your Bettie Baby.

[mellowsweetlady]

So many years to come....

[Nickie0016]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS!!!!!

[phillipalvis]

It's just amazing the great music that has come wonderful groups and singers such as the Presidents and others,

[sauquoit13456]

JUST MISSED!!! "5-10-15-20-25-30 Years Of Love" just missed making the Billboard's Hot Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 15 weeks in the Hot Top 100 in 1970!!!

[audioproducer88]

@sauquoit13456 How do you know? Im looking for the Billboard R&B chart if you got it

[sauquoit13456]

@audioproducer88 I had the book "Top R&B/Hip-Hop Singles 1942-2004" by Joel Whitburn; loaned it out and never got it back. It's available on Amazon.com, maybe one day I'll spring for another copy...

[Sheven718]

[bernardw8]

It's been 20years where I am going I found my soulmate

[omar72600]

what a great harmony by these guy real 70s music

[SuperJohnnysoul1]

This just blows my mind, such memories.

[RXmusic4YOU]

...tell me i didn't come across this tune.....what a hellava jam...oh the memories...so glad i was able to hang tuff during this time of music!!!!!!

[pleasure64]

i love this song, i been looking for this song for ages, i forgot who sings this song, but i remember this title of this song, it brings so much memories, what this songs still have beautiful harmony, it still sounds like yesterday, thank you UTube.

[vidform]

When these guys recorded this song, they were probably in their 20s or very early 30s so there's really no way they could've given a woman 30 years of love. 5-10 years, maybe. But 30 years? It's not possible if you're barely 30 yourself. LOL Great song though.

[speakwhnspkn2]

@vidform thou ponders too much my friend.

[curtisjones400]

@vidform i think these guys were probably much older then in their 20's-if you look at the picture in the album cover thier could have been almost 40 -so 30 years ago would make then 10 years old-and the song says "look at the little kids playing and having fun-that reminds of us when we were young 30 years ago

[like2spoilher1]

Can somebody please upload Funny How Time Slips Away by the Spinners. I have been trying to find it everywhere.

[nighthawk2305]

Man I was in the Air Force stationed in DC when I first heard these guys.....They all came out of Annacostia, South East DC and could sing their A... off. When I left DC I went to Thailand and took this and a lot of other songs with me, but this became my theme song. Thanks for all of the great memories....

[frankson03]

tony BOyd is my uncle...

[mikebt2000]

WOW!! Looking for this a looong time, but I thought it was done by Friends Of Distinction!!

[jclutchman17]

north philly on sunday nights listing to harvey holliday on wdas fm with the red light in the cellars hitting the left handed ciggs and the real ladies sitting on your lap god why do we ever have to grow up the woman of today dont understand when a man loves them today if a man is in love they consider him weak

[MrBigpapi01]

@jclutchman17 I agree with you wholeheartedly. It's sad that some girls consider a man's love for them weakness. I say girls because real women know what's up.

[WALNUTS52]

Great tune...brings back memories. Thanks....

[DeafTuber]

THANKS SO MUCH. Now, If I could only find, 'But I'm Still Dancing" by this group!

[hushyourfuss]

[mnb9773]

This is one for "you know who" also

[taleeni]

Ultimate anniversary song!!!

[blujay01]

I was thinking of this song today and this is the first time that I've heard it in a long time. I think that this was in the late 60's or early 70's. I remember listening to this song on a soul radio station 1540 WABQ in Cleveland, Ohio when I lived there.

[1313markie]

fabulous song.Great soulful harmony.

[Getrealpeeps]

@1313markie

SOOOOOO TRUE

:)

[faithinjesus50]

OMG been looking for this many, many, years!

[bevels58]

Another of my favorites!! so underated...thanks!!

[archer641]

@bevels58 I was in Basic Training at Lackland Air Force Base when I heard this song being played I was in the barber shop. We were waiting to get the " special basic training trim". The part of the song where they sing "arn't we happy" , I remember a couple of us hearing that and just looking at each other, yeah, happy alright...

[TONIO2K8]

Great tune...from a great Album....nice one mate!!! ;-)

[sam4062]

firme "real music" you go Presidents... scheoww

[artuvaas]

This was an under-rated tune back in

the day, (very similar to "Motherlode's":

WHEN I DIE [1969]. The last time I heard

this song-over the air-was on AM 1420:

KSTN: Stockton, California in February, 2002. Oldies stations in America play

their regimented play-lists and wonderful

groups-such as the PRESIDENTS-get lost in the shuffle. Thank you for an excellent posting of a fine song that should never be forgotten-

[sharde1913]

Great pick love lasting 4 ever

[Daluche1]

Wonderful! What a great sound full of harmony, passion and melodic timelessness!

[hsp100]
