I Wanna Know Your Name- The Intruders

[Barbielee1963]

Love this song!

[blkgnuz2007]

I don't respect bitches but this song makes me want to love a woman.

[rievans57]

I can remember garage parties back in the day. A row of perfectly cropped afros would be lined against the walls but when this song came on all the 'fros moved to the center of the room. It was the essence of urban beauty. Long live soul music and all it's practitioners.

[npenciso]

soulful... beautiful...pulls one back in time,when relationships were more secured because there was commitment,not that there is none now,but times were a lot simpler then...

[phillydog17]

The greatest group ever to come out of Philly!

[Rina1965]

@phillydog17 Yes, this is merely one of the greatest groups ever to come out of Philly, shame that Philly is not the same as in the old days..I'm, from Bklyn NY & Philly was known for it's music, hands down! These days Philly is known for Occupy Philly protests..As far as music, too many acts came outta Philly in the 70's, Philly was a virtuall music meca:Delfonics, Chi Lites, Stylistics, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, Blue Magic, I mean, I can go on forever, the music was simply off the chain

[gorickard319582010]

Great classic song.

[Promiselandian11]

My second girlfriends' and I song. '72 or '73?

[missycah1]

Blue lights in the basement parties, ( I couldn't go down there, I was too young) glow in the dark posters, and to think, I'm only three years younger than they are. Brings back memories.

[jorgesantos43]

This is music that goes right to the essence of our soul..I'm from the old school, however music of this nature is ALWAYS in. Just beauty, peace, love and harmony..

[sheltkds]

@jorgesantos43 Amen to your post. I was thinking the same thing homey!!

[MsPud27]

@everybody...we gotta take back our world. Blast this music as WE drive the street, take it to the parks on 4th of July; we must put the youngsters up on real groove, love, lay back and close your eyes music. Didn't need to take your clothes off...not yet. Just listen and talk to one another. Boy-oh-boy, those were the days. Miss them.

[WHATITDONMD24]

2nd Generation, I love this song, I play this song for my woman all the time.

[marzuwq22]

diana ross & the supemes

[biggpatt55]

Yes I do !

[softtouch55]

if you wanted to get close or was shy just play this it always made everyone relaxed. no hoes and bitches love was real and there was no bling bling we had values and respectability about ourselves we just didn't go around have sex with whomever not knowing names or even addresses plus no AIDS

[14nightstalker14]

Boy brings back memories, wish i could go back to my younger day's.

[boomcc1]

@14nightstalker14 come with me i rented a time machine 70s and 80s lol

[straponjane]

Mickeysue100 unfortunately you are right. As a white woman in her mid 40s I long for the music of the 60s and 70s. This was a time of sex for sure but also love and respect for women. I don't remember being anyones bitch or hoe back then. So come all you rappers out there stop the violent lyrics and disrespect to women. Love them and nuture them for surely without them you are nothing.

[djdavemick]

These guys had 2 big R&B hits in 1973--this is the one I heard FAR more growing up, but I prefer the dance number "I'll always love my mama" more these days.

[blackprix]

I played the album that this song is on over 50,000 times!! This song is deep and real. The Intruders knew how to put it all together!!! I miss this kind of music, there is nothing today that matches it!

[durringtonatlive]

im 19, broke, living in a one room shack.

this song is the song that makes me feel rich in my soul

[dcwashmd]

i was a telephone rapping king. I played this 45 and got my talk on (LOL). Man oh man. I would visit my grandparents in Shelby,N.C. from D.C. and would play these real slow songs while on the phone with this honey from Shelby. ......The good days.

[mickeysue100]

I truly long for this type of music again. what has happen is the sponsors and producers are mostly white and they do not want this type of music thry are encouraging young impressionable black rappers to rap rough and hard and degrading. this is another form of slavery. the rappers tear down the black woman who is the mother of the planet earth and once you destroy the black mother you have the destroyed her womb and everything that comes from her. wake up rappers

[FKRAPCITY]

@mickeysue100 too true, i love hip-hop but i dont like the mainstream or the sexism.

[flygirlmom]

@mickeysue100 Amen! This music is the new crack....

[Ardyia08]

I remember listening to this in the 8th grade. I'm 30 now with 3 kids and I still love this song. One of my favorites forever. So many beautiful childhood memories. I hope my kids love this kind of music just as much as I do. Will never die!!!

[terrell1213]

This song is for all the couples out there, if you got someone to hold, grab them right now, and slow dance with them to this song, and fellow's whisper some good thangs in her ear, make her feel special, let her feel loved, and wanted..Terrell..

[unclejohnny777]

This songs was not the 50s. It was released in 1969 on their Superhits album. The song was popular in our neighbor in the early 70's. I grew up right there in Philly

[eyes2wealth]

Guys need to learn to beg like this again.

[jojoledet]

Mack-a-docious! Herb Kent introduce me to this by listening to this on the radio in Chicago

[lowendfella]

@jojoledet Wasn't sunday's great in the Chi. (Thank You Herb Kent the Kool Gent!)

[3kingkool]

Now this cat is rapping old school!

[Massoass]

I like to go horse back ridin' HA! Yeeaah Baaaaaby!

[xXede303Xx]

SING IT SONNY

[9876543217303]

Music like this is what made us 'old timers' more mannerable and respectful, Guys didn't go around calling females B----s without being called on it. We had respect for ourselves and especially our elders. Music is subliminal, you unconsciously take it in. That's why the youth of today are so angry and discontented and disrespectful. They're taking in horrible and terrible messages. I pray that one day, things will at least try to get back to basics. Love and peace

[Cezanne]

Thank you, 9876543217303! But, you know the angry ones should have been born when they had a real blatant-outrageous-in-the-face reason to be.

[terrell1213]

@9876543217303 Hey my brother, Im from the ol-school with you, and I agree with you 100% kids today wouldn't even know how to put this song on, and sit down, and write their girl a nice love letter..you know what I mean.. Terrell1213

[stringsofserenyti]

@9876543217303 hands down you are absolutley and yes i like other music too but this music always soothes me rather its up tempo or not its truely the words being spoken out into the universe i mean music ia the universal language however old school makes me feel things will be better but fornow be thankful for what you have today & the other muxic makes me feel as though i have ta rush out the next day to make it happen by any means ya feel me .. one love

[robotbeans]

@9876543217303 im 13 i agree with this. go 9876543217303!!

[flygirlmom]

@9876543217303 I pray this too....

[jonnycy1]

@9876543217303 mate....the youth are angry, disrespectful, and disconnected because their parents are bums, living off welfare and refuse to work.

[9876543217303]

@jonnycy1  Yes, regretfully, so many of them are. Peace!

[mbaker21969]

@9876543217303 AMEN SISTER....GOD BLESS.

[9876543217303]

@mbaker21969 Blessings to you too for such a nice comment. Peace! :D

[bluhole]

@9876543217303 Well said : )

[pr3ciouzkiddabb]

@9876543217303 perfect words!

[Rina1965]

@9876543217303 You hit the nail on the head..I am 46 yrs old and the music tdy really makes me sick...alot of the music is sampled from the old music of the 50's, 60's & 70's..You can flip on the TV on any given day and see a commercial w/a sampled song..this generation d/n hve originality so what do they do? They take a trip to the past to go back to a time when music was original, w/feeling & meaning..The pwrs in charge want to ruin this generation and it's working..

[ThePiratesPioneer1]

Check out SHAWN COLVIN - Matter of Minutes

[mostly66]

This is real music. Not what is out there today which is just studio music. These are just the good oldies.

[LilTejanito99]

yess.love dis

[gld2cu]

Yes the ole days of MUSIC refering to a past comment left about the good ole days (not when there were no rights) when there was understanding, respect, for YOURSELF and other people ladies,were not B's or H's men were Brothers or MY MAIN MAN not MF'S or worst THE BAD PART OF IT ALL (some answer to it with no problem)

MUSIC you can sing anytime without degrading or offending anyone TRUE LEGEND'S OF MUSIC

[md7195]

yo man u right im 18 and itz a damn shame how there used to be respect for everyone there was no such thing as Hs or B's music when it was innocent, clean and above all the understanding of the message good track. i kno these songs by my dad but still music like 50 lil wayne & Reggaeton are destroying music wit senseless messages in the track i mean where the real music at. i agree wit ur comment man

[ihatelifejosemartine]

One of my personal favorites, The Intruders = underrated.

[oldschoolmama1959]

today music can not match the voices of yesterday .

[DENISE1CALDWELL]

lovin this song very romantic music.

[DFWOODSII]

My man was spittin striaght game at the end. DAMN! CLASSIC JAM!

[dlrich2]

oh my goodness...how could some one not love this song??? oh my goodness,,,this is the shit!!! I remember slow dragging in some basement party, and I thought this song was just for me!! Sing that song, Sonny! I love to go horse back riding too, and oh yes, I'll share my cupcake with you. I'm still a jazzy jazzy old babe!

[MCSK3TCH]

i love this song. shit i wasn't born in this era, but i grew up with it from my mom. great music, and great for samples. however, i do agree that the music widely spread through the media is terrible. indie and underground music is great though. no one that puts music out and gets commercialized ever has a message in the music anymore.

[revalbertha]

Sweet, smoothe, and romantic. It brings back memories, memories that I often treasure for today.

[PRINCETHEACTOR]

LET'S DO IT AGAIN!

[donnab4real]

i had to sneak to listen to this so that gives my age anyway this is a straight up classic bring it on back, oldies never die men being men not afraid of being called weak 4 going after who he wants

[walover]

yeah, those sure were the days, when a man could beat on his woman, and it was accepted.

[hydroxide87]

yea exactly and when african americans were still thought as a lesser human and had no rights. The good ol' days huh?

[srotagadirolf]

Get over yourself! I don't know why we black folk try to get validation of being a man from white folk. That validation comes from yourself. Stop being a victim!

[mschocolot]

Enjoy the pity party alone . Lift yourself up mentally . We learned to find good where we could . For this kind of music made a whole lot of things tolerable.

[tedkay]

That was the fifties and very early sxties,by the time this came out ,we were kicking white peoples ASSES! You're right ! they were the good ole days! thanks man for reminding us!! HAHAAAAaaaa!! and right on!!

[xXede303Xx]

FUCK WHITEY!, YOU RACIST BASTARD

[jo22338601]

Hey oldbiddie I feel you it was great living in our in times.A couple was that not all this sleeping around with any body.We got respect and

give respect and had good clean honest fun. I'm

proud to have been raised up in the 50's-60's

and 70's,life was oh so great.

[oldbiddie]

It was all innocent fun... granted, the slow dancing could have led to trouble, especially songs like this one. Oh the sweet talk! He likes to go horseback riding!!! I loved it and I am glad I grew up at that time. I pity our youth now and what our society has or has not done with them. Our young men call our young women"Bs" as it were the proper appellation. I guess I'm getting too old.

[ICEGOD2]

Yes, the era of Souljah Boy is alive and well.

[1inamilliongoddess]

True culture and refinement...I wanna know your name, not want to go to bed with you, when I first see you. I teach this to the youth, they must must have culture and true refinement...lets show them the way... Peace and Love

[Anjalae1984]

Well put...ur so absolutely right

[PRINCETHEACTOR]

so peace

[GS455Stage1]

Wonderful music! When you were at a party and you didn't know what to say to the most lovely girl you have seen in quite sometime, just hope someone played this record. Say, I wanna know your name!

[postofc]

I agree zettebda. I truly miss those days, good times, house partys in the basement, parents upstairs. ummmmmm

[sonjaxfactor]

nice!

[zettebda]

Beautiful! I miss these days, people loved each other back in this time and era. Bring back those days

[Cquintgreen]

@zettebda better believe it!
