I remember the first time i heard Million Dollars....it was in the early 90's (I'm only 41). I remember thinking that this was THE best classic R&B song I have ever heard. But like radio stations so often do....they failed to mention the song name or artist. I'd hear it ever 1-2 years and could never catch the artist's name. Finally I found out it was The Soul Generation and went out and got a compilation CD of their work. I was even more thrilled to find out they were NOT one hit wonders.
I posted this video on Facebook -- this song received a lot of comments from my friends. It was THE slow jam of our high school years! I had the lines, "You're no longer dating a boy, you've got a man on your hands," sung in my ear by young boys too many times to count while slow dancing back in the day...so many memories!
How utterly BEAUTIFUL!! Mr. Perkins' lead vocal is STILL smooth as silk- he uses his vocal instrument so intelligently- no yelling, no screaming, no straining, but yet, emotion is dripping from his whole being... See, Ms. La Belle? It IS possible to get your point across without beating people over the head with your voice! Mariah, Celine, Jennifer,Fantasia, Christina, take notice,please.
Keep going guys,, My late father in law "Jonesy" was one of the origanl members of this group Soul Generation, he will truly be missed. I loved listening to you guys records.
I'm just a young buck but I got to say, this song is beautiful. But don't thank me Cliff, thank the man who put me on to it. His name is Ghostface Killah!
It's truly a great thing to be able to see real soul being performed by real soul artists, who STILL know how to do it after all these years. Makes me tingle hearing Cliff hit those high notes just like he did on the record. Just great to listen to and watch!
OMG! this song brings me back to when i was living in the Bronx. My favorite song. Cliff your the best. Wanda

This is what is missing in today's music! If you like that, check out "Stone Harmony" on youtube. You won't be disappointed. It's more of the same.
