SPECIAL LADY - Ray, Goodman & Brown

[58fins]

Now THAT is REAL music!!!!

[ldylkr]

I hadn't heard this song sing the 80's, but out of no where, it played yesterday and I can't stop thinking about it.

[drshaka]

This is my favorite song of all time....very serious!!

[DaveWollenberg]

Is Billy Brown still alive?

[ubsme2]

@DaveWollenberg yes...kevin ray owens past away and willie goodman has past

[DaveWollenberg]

@ubsme2 What 'bout Billy Brown, the 3rd member?

[DaveWollenberg]

Is that Harry, Al, and, Billy, pictured left to right?

[wildwoman17]

wildwoman17 i know that's right they could have kept this type of music today

[lafetam1]

I'll give up everything to go back to the 70's and 80's music. Nothing will ever come close to what we had back then.

[38cola]

i like the sax player on here

[DaveWollenberg]

Is Al Goodman, the bass singer on this 1?

[sonybrother1]

@DaveWollenberg 

[sonybrother1]

@sonybrother1 Now Al is gone also, RIP Al Goodman.

[DaveWollenberg]

[DaveWollenberg]

Love the acapella open, but, some stations cut off the dialogue 'tween the fellas.

[DaveWollenberg]

R,G, and B hit #5 in Billboard, 4-19-80. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a blessed week! RIP, Harry Ray.

[MOSESTOVIAH]

[lotec11]

good



[The45458]

They dont make music like this anymore......gosh i love this song

[glacier861]

@The45458 No they do not, not for the most part. I can write songs better than what gets put out there. In fact, I do write my own songs. I haven't made the melodies for the music, but I can write my own songs. Stuff from the heart. I draw inspiration from things that I feel, inspiration from music like this.

[The45458]

@glacier861 that is the way to write songs....with feeling from the heart.....wish you well

[TheEndOfYourWorld]

The anthem of manginas and simps everywhere .

[duceoldschool]

This was real take their panties off music alright. Loved it....and when I heard it recently it really brought back all those memories...ah yes, a real classic, thanks guys.

[28ndc]

Muitas lembranças dos bailes de garagem. Naquele tempo, as meninas gostavam de meninos e os meninos gostavam de meninas.

[naughtykitten28]

Damn, I remember listening to this as a little baby. This is a tune my mom use to play when I was a child, and it really stuck with me. A fantastic song.

[MsQueenLis]

I love this song!!!

[kickpicswebsite]

I don't know WHY ....but for some reason I woke up singing this song :)))) What a classic :D

[truepowerbombking]

[crysjumar1]

Mom used to play this on the stereo hi-fi on nights when we couldn't get to sleep. Just put the album on let the whole thing play.

[radboysdad]

just dont make them like this anymore. great song from high school. great parking music with the girls.

[DaveWollenberg]

Harry, Al, and Billy hit #5 in Billboard, 4-19-80. God bless ya. for postin' it. Thanx! RIP, Harry Ray.

[curtisjones400]

@DaveWollenberg I remember these guys when they were called the "Moments" songs like "Love on two way street" those were the days

[DaveWollenberg]

@curtisjones400 Amen, right? God bless ya, my brother!

[johnwoa]

Thanks for posting this!!! Memories!!! Does anyone remember radio station "96 Fever" in Clearwater, Florida. Their format was all disco and dance music and I first heard this song on that station in 1980. I miss those days :)

[xtoc422]

Timeless classic....Brings me memories of my Jr. High dances in the late 70's/early 80's. I'm Mexican, but I got to hand it to my african-american brothers. As composers, over the last 50 years, not counting the past decade and a half (most of the music in this half generation is terrible), nobody matches them with respect to style, passion, sound and rhythm. They created, arguably, the best music of those 40-45 years hands down. Anybody differ? I don't think so.

[Jugivadi]

harmony baby, harmony. I dus luh dis.

[blksatinsista73]

My parents played this one often love it an oldie but will forever be a Goodie now this is music

[TheMeekgurl]

this is wonderful!!! i love it!! i rather listen to this real music, im only 16 by the way!!!!

[mzbittytwinzluver]

my 12 yr old sis does 2.! :)

[mzbittytwinzluver]

i luv this song and im still 9.!

[polishblacksoulBeta]

Ohhh, this track is completely awesome. Thank you for upload, friend!

[songfullyyrz]

@efren236 As one of the many ladies you dedicate this song to,THANK YOU. For all those that don't know, this is for the grown and sexy people(HEY)!11

[TheTravlindiva]

@lmbullock522 Im wth you. Nothing like old school. This type of music keep me in trouble. lol

[TacomaPaul]

THIS is a way to get a woman to be with you.... not pointing a gun at her and calling her a beeyawtch and flashin' your bling.... all of which you stole.

Be a MAN and get a WOMAN... not some moron gangsta with a ho.

[xtoc422]

@TacomaPaul Very well said TacomaPaul and I couldn't agree with you more.

[daysofwax]

This song is a killer tune..it takes you back to all your missed chances in love..back 30 years..

I am Frank F owner of the Sound Gems Label ..I wish i had the Moments

[JLJ310]

@lmbullock522 I stop listening to the crap after 2000. My iTunes playlist is dominated by classics. Even stuff dating back to the 60s and I just turned 40 and I'm a 70's baby. Go figure.

[OldMrMemories]

Memories of when I was a young Marine training in the Phillipines back in 1980. I remember being so homesick and these days I'm homesick for those days.

Only one life we all have so we should cherish every memory.

[howardjudo]

Well, it is one of the best songs of its time, check out the beginning and the ending were you heard the exchange between Harry, Al and Billy.

[LUMBAJAKMUSIC]

I'm gonna see whats good with my "REAL" music heads!!!



[doedoe1]

This was real music with real feelings, when a man had no problem telling a woman that she changed his life and he loves her....

[MrKeithMJones]

the moments willnever be "on the outside"

[cmulwee001]

Trivia: Ray, Goodman, and Brown, when they were called The Moments, did the original version of "Don't Cry Out Loud", before Melissa Manchester.

[noopie42]

i grew up listening to this song! just a beautiful now as was then....thank you Mom for playing ...

[TheWildhog1966]

wildhog1966

A true, timeless, beautiful classic. I was in junior high school when the album hit the stores. Sounds just as good today......

[TheWildhog1966]

True, beautiful talent. Hard to find anything better then this these days....

[LeftyLadybug]

I was being potty trained, but I do remember this song!

[TygaShawty]

This is lot better than No B.S or I bet the neighbors know my name. WTH its better all the music being made now.

[diontedadivo]

I just love to here groups in sync like that!! I'm 20 and this song just makes me feel warm like when u 1st think about love and what it should be!!

[xxroland123xx]

Heck im 13 and i love this song,the truth is it dosent matter

what age you are, music like this makes you happy and its not going anywhere

especially with the music we have today lts insperational

[Doobie1991]

19 yrs old nd lovin it

[victornewman06]

@lmbullock522 *starts clapping* Thank you!!!!!

[charlyblues]

@lmbullock522

there are hiphop songs that express real feelings, acutually that's real hiphop. Listen to or let them listen to Masta Ace- beautifull or Brooklyn massala. But hiphop cant be compared to soulmusic. Now backand on to the soul..de la that is.

This song here though makes me wanna wear a hat just so I can take it off for that girl.

[lmbullock522]

@charlyblues - I had my daugter and her friends listen to Masta Ace, it didn't fit the bill. Soul music makes you think of that one special person. Soul music says what we wish we could say to our loved one. Its a loved letter set to music. And for the rest of your life, whenever you hear that song, it takes you back to that person, that place, or that event. Lover's Concerto by the Toys always takes me back to my first crush, Michelle Loving, and kindergarten.

[charlyblues]

@lmbullock522

Again , it CANT be compared. All I was trying to say is, there is more to hiphop then what you said earlier.

Damn a crush at kindergarten?! haha you started early huh! You're right though soulmusic does that to a person, a person who feels the soulmusic.

[1ExtraChrispy1]

Another thing about the acts today... Whatever happened to groups? Seems like everywhere you turn it's This Guy or That Woman, backed-up by people who immensely more talented than the Face.

[XXXXLOWRIDERXXXX]

@1ExtraChrispy1 ITS THE GREED...CHEAPER TO PAY ONE PERSON...THAN A GROUP...ALL POLITICS...THATS WHY MUSIC SUCKS TODAY...ALL THAT AUTOTUNE BULLCRAP..

[KingMarcusPlay]

@lmbullock522 I agree with you 100%.

[estrellanortena14]

MMM MM MMM.. what a CLASSIC!!!! This Song is so beautiful

[watchensee]

Love this song, it's very flattering! {:)

[edsmar]

It reminds me a cousin of mine that disapear in the early 80's. Nice guy and most loved in the family. To this day we don't know what happened to him...

[jwalk31]

Ahhhh harmony.... Love love LOVE 3:50-end

[jwalk31]

I've said it once, a thousand times, and I'll say it again... They just don't make music like this anymore. I'm in heaven right now listening to this. Let Trey Songz, Akon, and fuckin Justin Beiber try and do this.... FAIL Real R & B is here.

[bzzzzap]

I love the human quality of this...you feel like you're in the room with these talented guys. A quality so missing from current music.

[RAV52]

This was my favorite song when I was a lil rugrat!

[didiVzatt]

excelente! adorei a musica...muito especial...very goood!!!!

[sgtgaryn]

TO MY FRIEND AL GOODMAN....YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS....PURE TALENT AND A GENTLEMAN ALSO...A TRULY GOOD MAN JUST AS YOUR NAME SUGGESTS....AND ALWAYS SO COOL....ALWAYS SO COOL....REST NOW AL....SING FOR GOD AND WE SHALL MEET AGAIN....SGT. G.

[chuckbuckbobuck]

Its funny how there is one song that marks the year or the decade or what have you. This song is so early 80's that just about anyone could place when this song was a hit. It is a classic and people will be humming this song 50 years from now!!!

[MRVOCALZ]

She Gotta be special, we're getting Married in 2-Weeks!!!!

[Jacer9mm]

@MRVOCALZ Al Goodman passed away during surgery, at Hackensack Medical Center in New Jersey.

[MALTOMEEGE]

THESE GUY'S HAD CLAAAASSSS...NOW THERES ENOUGH SAID

[nubianfruit]

I remember when I saw these gentlemen at the Encore in Queens, NY....they were some bad dudes!

[nashanash12]

@nubianfruit The Encore on Jamaica Ave across from the bus terminal!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jauntyhett]

@nashanash12 oh my god!!!!!!! Encore Jamaica avenue

[ssur55]

Where the singing groups like this nowadays? Classic !

[wdb31837]

"Before I metcha my sun didn't want to shine"......Nuff Said!

[dsmith123able]

this is real R&B

[CreoleNag]

Okay taking you Way Back w/ Ray, Goodman & Brown! Reminds me of my first house party & slumber party!

[djntt69]

Meant to say Bro Al

[djntt69]

RIP Bro Ray. One of my favorites songs by RG&B

[eugenemcgirt]

'Jack in the Box' is a cool song... found out about that years after their other classic hits.

[Mr1973ian]

Bought this in late '79 & still have it , ( why would you give it away ! ).Love the accapella bit on the end which wasn't on the single. Rest in peace Mr Al Goodman. Check out 'Jack In The Box', 'Dolly My Love' & 'Girls', for more classics from this crew. Pax to all from 'SoulBoy' Smith.Xxx.

[sgtgaryn]

WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND MISS YOU AL...A TRUE SHOWMAN...THE EPITOMY OF TALENT, CLASS AND SO VERY COOL ALL THE TIME...RESPECTED BY FELLOW ARTISTS AND FANS ALL OVER THE WORLD...REST NOW MY FRIEND...SING IN HEAVEN WITH THE ANGELS...WATCH OVER US AND WE SHALL MEET AGAIN....SGT. G.

[ladymh65]

[jo22338601]

OMG I guess everyone has heard the Al Goodman passed yesterday 7/27/2010 I thought my heart was heavy when Harry passed now this is round 2 and a very sad day. I remembered the lasst time I spoke with Al I told him to please take care of himself and he did because God has other plan. Now he and Harry can continue to make beautiful music. Stay Blessed my friend.

Jo

[BRUC2016]

Great harmony. They don't make 'em like this anymore, unfortunately.

[Nahdiyyah]

Rest In Peace Al Goodman, who passed away this afternoon, Harry Ray who passed 1992..music like this can never be duplicated. It was an era all to itself....

[kcred3]

I really loved the video for this song, it appears they were on american bandstand.

They looked very suave and debonair,and you can't find that anymore with the male entertainers. Great song, great voices. Your still pleasing fans Harry Ray. Keep doing what your doing Al Goodman, and of course Billy Brown . Your distinct sound will last forever.

[Roseroseize]

I was like a song so out of key

Then you came and gave my soul a melody

Thanks to you, for pullin' me through

I've always lost but now I win with you.....,

What a beautiful lyrics !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you very much Jimmy wonderful ....!!!!!

[theloveman11378]

[LoboAscuridad]

Love the old soul music... The best!

[misspinkpetals100]

[lslrjpda]

[HorChild]

"Special Ladies" became "Ordinary Whores"!!!

[vonKyle777]

so nice!!!!!

[BabyJerk2010]

I remember this just as it was yesterday..... I was in the 10th grade how time goes by. they don't make music like this anymore

[perpetual61]

What Memories this Fantastic Song Brings. Back When Real Music was Done and it was About Love, Happiness and Having a Good Time. Not Like Now it's all about How to Disrespect Your Lady, Cheat, Beat, or even Kill. I'd take the 60's,70's and the 80's Music Yea!!

[msss22]

@perpetual61 I hear you loud and clear, couldn't agree with you more! Thumbs up! Take care.

[art283]

True classic! I envy the 60's, 70's and the 80's for their positive and wonderful era of music. I am 25 years of age and I could only wish on my time today, that people would write songs that made sense to life. This is real music!

[demonkai76]

my moms shit right here boi

[strawberries404]

I sure do love Rae Goodman Brown, also known as The Moments. They are one of my favorite bands.

[EduCamargo]

This is true soul music... Not just in genre, but in essence.

[randyraysides]

@EduCamargo 

[rawjhaw]

[ladyjae65]

Harry sounds soooo good, especially at the end it sounds like he's 'pimpin' it! Even Al is saying" harry sure sounds good today, don't he?

[claybornwilliams]

I would like to say that, PalmBeach1028, is down and where i'm from that's the bomb. Eye see you.
