Michael Evans--U & I

[JVLIVSPhoto]

Speechless I am!

[nickfreshalive]

that has to be George Wallace at 1:43!!!

[MusicGod2008]

That run Michael did @ 3:02 - 3:06 was fucking sick only a sanger could do that, his version is just as good if not better the the original

[LarryGunz]

lmao @ Good Mission Man from Martin entering in at :19 Don't remember the Good Mission Man? The guy who delivered the bed that Gina's head got stuck in. Hahahaha. If that's not him, its his twin.

[supersuperrich]

"BOOKMAN" IS 74. WONDERFUL to know he's still alive...LET'S WRITE HIM ! ...AND Michael (RALPH CARTER) here is 50. GOD BLESS HIM ! GREAT SINGER...AND WHAT A FINISH !!! I LOVE THEM ALL. Especially Mama Esther.

[MischandraSmith]

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL - Michael's version is just as good as Stevie - WOW!!!!

(Is that "Lootin Lenny" in the background behind JJ at the end of the video? LOL!)

[champ4caesar]

esther rolle is an iconic woman. miss her presence 

[yemonja100]

I want this song sung at my wedding.

[j2times2006]

That dude really does look like George Wallace!! Around 1:43

[IIIST6969]

No one sings it Better!!!

[RosRL9]

@IIIST6969 except for stevie wonder ( >_>)

[antyfreeman2008]

this still makes me cry <3

[Contrabass79]

One of my favorite tv weddings. Actually made me cry!

[POLOfckhilfiger]

Micheal please shut the hell up. Lets proceed!!!

[billyjacc]

CLASSSSIC!!!! Until then...(& prolly since) there wasn't a tv wedding ever done like this.

[eyeonwashparish]

@38106chick I agree. i was just thinking about that the other day. And it's not like he tripped and tumbled. If that's all it took to mess him up maybe JJ did him a favor.

[mscaxe]

Esther Rolle was classy.

[chri8067]

Is that George Wallace  the comedian @ 1:43?

[dirknagels]

warum breche ich bei sowas immer in tränen aus....

[darrylhaynes]

[POLOfckhilfiger]

[darrylhaynes]

how did he die...????

[POLOfckhilfiger]

Mike killed this song

[darrylhaynes]

[BishopGilyard]

[ElvisFreak77]

too bad the character of her father, James could not have been there to walk her down the aisle.

[veeseee128]

[MsJass816]

[Contessais4u]

Wow! I remember this! Janet was a baby then and J.J. and Michael, could sing this song so beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[bradwinston1]

simply amazing voice he sung this song with true emotion on this blessed event in sisters life.

[babyphatphatt]

he was good

[bisexualbuffthug]

He should have been signed on a record label.

[monogee]

@bisexualbuffthug - Ralph Carter did have an album out around that time. We had it in the house growing up. Can't seem to find it.

[MzSoftWetnJuicy]

This was one of the most loved episodes of mine...so emotional all that was going on with the Evans....Definition of good TV and black family

[orneno3]

This is my favorite wedding scene of all time

[AmmaMama]

The pastor look soooo depressed when he walked out..

[orneno3]

He really did! Like he was at a funeral.

[AmmaMama]

smart ass..

[kingsuave01]

[MandieDiary]

I understand exactly what you mean. I'm 20 and I wish I have lived to see shows like Good Times when it first came out and listen to music back then.

You dont find things like this nowadays.

[Xinoutorah]

Oh yea search Florida's Homecoming

[Xinoutorah]

go to tina or belgusto's channel they have a lot of episodes from Good Times, they have numbers after their names but I am not sure what they are...just youtube "Good Times Part 1" or something to find their channels

[lisajk225]

I just love Good Times so much! These characters are my family. I watch every episode as often as I can.

[Krazy3912]

I never cared much for Michael's voice...but I gotta admit that this was the best I heard him sing.

Beautiful voice and song.

[baezhill1967]

I remember this episode as if it were yesterday Michael sings so well.

[xTAElovesYOUx]

NICE! A true classic.

[30rockdis]

Bernadette is a QUEEN!

[scottybroker]

@30rockdis Yes she is ; still is lovely. Would like to see her, Ralph and Walker in cameos today.

[30rockdis]

Sang dat song Ralph!

[RayCookOfficialMusic]

i love this song im watching good times rite now

[rhodeschroma]

This is a really hard song to sing - he does a really strong job. Nobody's Stevie, but for what - a 17year old - imagine him singing this on American Idol among some of that crap. He doesn't hit a bad notes in the whole, even when when he goes up top, he still has good control.

[jrock894]

i love that song

[sketchtheart]

Ralph Carter, was shy when he

was standing nude while Esther

Rolle was ironing his pants and

Willona Woods played by Ja'net

Du Bois went to him and covers

his nudeness in the begin of this Episode!

[housebanks22]

mike had a serious eddie monster...

[NorthMichael]

Dang...a long time ago, but still a awesome show.

[orneno3]

Did anybody ever wonder why Thelma didn't have any friends?

[msfalisa]

I think James character had died by the times this aired

[dcflava74]

This is the 6th and final season of Good times,78-79.james died in the beginng of the 4th season,1976-77.

[msfalisa]

thanks for posting this video. i actually like his version better than stevies or o'bryans. simply beautiful.

[sega4444]

ILL SLAP RALPH CARTER.....SISSY!!!!

[kabrinam]

this is a stevie wonder song

[schuyler10]

The only scene on this show that ever makes me cry...happy tears...but seeing Florida, you realize that her husband not being there hits a nerve...

[38106chick]

It's been over 30 years...and I STILL can't find anyone who can explain how Keith could take hits on the football field, yet break his leg tripping over someone as puny as JJ...

[kunfussed213]

LMAO!!! You're so right though.

Also it never "set right" until Thelma got pregnant, Walona got the job as head buyer at the boutique, JJ became a serious "artiste" as he would say. And Michael went to college... MIRICLE!

[dh1173]

@38106chick That's exactly what I've wondered too!! J.J. must have some strong bones!! LOL!!

[millyunbukks]

@38106chick , Kieth fell off a ladder. JJ is credited w/causing the fall.

[dh1173]

@38106chick ROTFL!! I've said the EXACT same thing! J.J. must got bones of steel!! =)

[sodeserving]

YOU BETTER SING IT MICHAEL!!!!!!!!!

[sodeserving]

Wilona had so much style!!!

[yodiggiddy]

This is so beautiful! It feels like a real wedding. On another note both Bookman and Sweet Daddy attended the wedding! LOL.

[chanpenn]

The best episode of good times and michael is a great singer

[shaneece210]

wat the hell is michael wearing he dont match with the other men in the wedding!!!

[brownhornet71]

Mike stylin girl!!

[sodeserving]

Have'nt you seen the movie "wedding singers"? He does not have to match with the wedding! He's the outcast... lmao. j/k

[38106chick]

The women don't match either, so I think they balance each other out :-)

[nvf2008]

This episode just came on had to youtube it... good job Michael.. very beautiful

[jirt87]

i like o'bryan version better.

[TonygMus2]

Stevie Wonder recorded the song first!

[orneno3]

he is sitting there at 3:10

[orneno3]

If anyone knows about this three part episode: Sweet Daddy wasnt invited to the wedding but he came anyway!

[BigJuan3134L]

JJ could atleast got a Fuckin hair cut

[BigJuan3134L]

this shit is terrible!!! nothing like Obryan.

[S67906]

Ralph Carter (Michael Evans) did a bang up job on this song. I just watched this episode this morning, I could not stop crying. I enjoyed (Florida's Home Coming when Ester Rolle returned after one year absence from Good Times) the episode when Michael ran and kissed his mother over and over again. I was wondering when Florida arrived at the door was that scene rehearsed with Ester Rolle because Ralph Carter reaction was that of a child that had not scene their mother in a year. I cried all day

[TonygMus2]

That was an emotional scene. That whole ending!

[funone2no]

Preacher got a BAD WIG ON!

[vbx1967]

This was the most anticipated epsiode.....lawd we were all in love with Micheal after this............thelma was so pretty and hit the jacl pot with a football player!!

[c3c3wildin]

i love you michael!!!!!!!!!! <3

[dah1130]

not only is JJ ugly, but he can't even walk on beat either!

[pinto839]

I see back n the day George Wallace lol

[pinto839]

I always cry at this part of the episode...

[GrownFolksMusic]

....me too!

[otisjefferson1907]

i see you Janet

[marlos1980]

i tear up everytime!!!!!!!!!!!

[e40coko]

look at how he smiles when he sees his sister

[e40coko]

oops meant to say SONG,listen to the words though, deep

[e40coko]

Oh My God he ripped this somg...my favorite, I cry every time I hear it.

[Nerdmatic]

classic

[ladyj061370]

This is my jam!!! I always cry when I watch this episode like I was seeing it for the first time! I just wish James would have been there...but I wouldn't change it for the world everytime I see J.J.'s slow, awkward swagger down the aisle, LMAO!!!!

[blexacano33]

The greatest show of all time!!!!

[brownhornet71]

Ralph Carter, jam the hell out of this song!! The best version, by far!!!

[blackcopEH]

I agree!!!

[bornwithaBA]

Not MANY people can best a Stevie Wonder original, but Michael Evans just did!!!!

And very well, too. I never saw this episode. Thanks for posting.

[jentx77642]

I remember this, it's the reason I do like the song from seeing Michael sing it@ Thelma's wedding.I love listening too O'Bryan sing this, he sings it very well.

[orneno3]

OMG I want Musiq Soulchild or John Legend to sing this at my wedding

[brownhornet71]

I can do it for half the price. Plus i dance too.

[csmusician]

That HAS to be George Wallace!!!

[holajay]

was that george wallace, the comedian as one of the bridesgroom, or am i trippin? check it out! i remember gary coleman being on an episode also!

[dcflava74]

Good times had alot of guest people that were familiar with,among those who had guest starred on Good times are Jay Leno,TK Carson,Sheryl lee Ralph,Shirley Hemphill from whats happening,Debbie Morgan(Angie from All My Children)Debbie Allen,before she was famous as JJ,s drug addicted girlfriend Dianne.

[BIGRONDADONN]

YEAH MIKE COULD SING

[Belburg]

@dcflava74 Also Thomas Carter, as Bernadette Stanis' boyfriend, who later would go on to star in the White Shadow.

[Spligtown618]

timeless!

[au101]

Thanks I was looking for this for the longest!! I just found out yesterday that Gary Coleman was on like two episodes, playing a sassy ass black kid lol

[joljpaja]

lol michael twin @ 255

[gray1963]

anybody noticed Michael had a twin? look to the left of the screen at 2:55.

[TevinsGirl]

yea, you are right, and if you look to your right, why is Bookman grinning so hard, what is so funny

[CHRISTALLUV]

that was funny!

[milkingtherod]

wow...i almost lost it when Flo was seated by someone else, because james was gone. This wedding was one of the great moments in TV history...along with Whitley's break-up wedding scene and run to Dwayne on A Different World...also...I loved that for once JJ was dead serious on his sis special day...priceless!.....but will the main stream media TV Guide even rank any of these (our) moments in their "top 100 Best TV Moments of all Time"?....HELL NAH!

[brooklynbred]

Flo would have been seated by someone else, like an usher, anyway. James would have walked Thelma down the isle. James wouldn't have let Thelma marry this guy anyway. He would have done more investigating and found out he was a drunk and she was marrying 4 money.

[mkl62]

In Part 2 of this episode, Keith & Thelma argued in front of Florida. After Thelma ran into her room crying, Florida begged Keith not to leave. She consoled Thelma by telling her a "story" about the big fight that she & James had on their wedding day. Thelma finally laughed and said that Keith reminded her a lot of James. Florida told her to go out there and tell him. She then asked God to forgive her for, well, exagerrating on "some of the things that day."

[Autumn82]

Beautiful wedding

[mkl62]

I have heard that Ralph Carter (Michael) put out an album. Young and in Love was on it. Did he ever put out any more songs? Also, when Thelma came in, why didn't the congregation stand? I always thought they were supposed to do that when the bride made her entrance.

[rimesjesse]

how can i get this song for my wedding

[stillphil]

this version ? or Stevie's ?

If you Google you can find a site to convert

this vid to an Mp3.

Have a good wedding.

[Newbaby76]

I know Florida's crying. She wishes James was there.

[boloskitchen]

Bow Tie looks like a bearclaw pastry lmao

[MzTJones80]

Bearclaw pastry??? LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO!!!! Now that was funny. Don't make fun of my era. LOL

[jjfine1]

he can that fuckin song

[Newbaby76]

Thanks

[JazzieTxDiva69]

@ 1:144-1:45 mark...is that comedian George Wallace?

[JazzieTxDiva69]

MICHAEL SANG HIS ASS OFF!!!

[cianw35t]

he is the shit

[SexyL45]

A beautiful song well done Ralph Carter.

[sparklecreations]

THAT WAS GREAT!Thanks for posting...Where is RALPH CARTER now?

[powderpink]

ralph died of AIDS years ago

[mimi691]

That's not true! He was on stage with Jimmie Walker, Bernadette Stanis, and Janet Jackson for the BET Awards back in 2005!

[onceandfuture3]

what a stupid thing to say. Carter is alive and well he was at both the t.v land and Bet awards in 2006.

[hudson19947]

This is a total lie. He was just on TV w/yes the cast of Good Times. Then Janet walked on the stage and gave all them a hug including Michael. So, get your story right

[kayjayo08]

Fell in love with the song when I heard him sing it, want it done at my own wedding

[eastsackevster]

go Mike! boy had all the gusto on that show, full of confidence all the time. cant find anything on him now as a man, tried google

thanks for sharing, would it not be easier for others to find this if Good Times where also in the heading along with his name?

[CABTVSEASON]

BEST SONG EVER.

CANT B LEVE THIS WAS THE ONLY 1 I COULD FIND ON YOUTUBE!!!

THANKS breakthrough08270 !!!!!!!!!!!

[frenchvenilla]

U can find this song done by Stevie Wonder. Its on there a couple of times

[sugawallz]

One of my favorite episodes...
