The Five Heart Beats made this song poplar but this version of the song on the five heartbeats soundtrack is the Mississippi Mass Choir. The Song is on one of their first albums. You can listen to it. Look to your right. Their in blue and white robes. Love the movie and soundtrack version.
DEAR HEAVENLY FARTHER IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST I BRING THIS FAMILY BEFORE THEE. THAT YOU BRAKE EVERY YOLK BIND UP THE HANDS OF THE ENEMY RIGHT NOW GOD YOU ARE ABLE TO DO SO I BELIEVE THAT YOU COULD DO ALL THINGS ,LORD I PRAY THAT YOU STOP EVERY UNWANTED SPIRITS IN THERE TRACKS LORD I BELIEVE IN A GREAT MIRACLE FOR THIS FAMILY LORD I PRAY THAT PIECE BE STILL ALL THAT WE ASK IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN.
This Five Heartbeats group doesn't seem to be the original Heartbeats out of St Albans, Queens , New York with James (Shep) Sheppard on lead with such hits like "A Thousand Miles Away," "Down On My Knees," and Crazy For You"
If so, although the music is moving, this may be GROSS MISREPRESENTATION.
The movie was not based on the original Heartbeats, the 50's doo-wop group.
Yeah this the kinda song you could pick a whole field a cotton by yaself with. Music is so powerful particularly music with heart like this. Very few doin it like this nowadays. Too busy commercializing.
Besides the direct inspiration from The Dells, the story of The Five Heartbeats is loosely based upon those of a number of other classic soul performers: The Temptations: Temptations lead singer David Ruffin developed a cocaine addiction and became difficult to work with, leading to his replacement by Dennis Edwards. In The Five Heartbeats, Eddie King is the Ruffin-like figure, and is replaced by Michael "Flash" Turner.
References to real-life soul acts... The Isley Brothers: The cover to their 1966 Motown album, This Old Heart of Mine, featured on its cover a portrait of a White couple framed with a heart, instead of the African American men in the group. While pandering & discriminatory, this was apparently in an attempt to reach a wider audience. The same situation befalls The Heartbeats in this film. J.T. loudly challenges the decision: "I ain't never seen five n^ggas on Elvis Presley
F.I.Y. ... For those who care about how The Five Heart Beats movie really came about. The Heart Beats may not actually be a real group. But the direct inspiration came from a real group, The Dells. Inaddition, the story of The Five Heartbeats is also loosely based upon those of a number of other classic soul performers:
Jackie Wilson: like Bird of The Falcons in this film, Wilson was once dangled out of a window for asking about his royalties and trying to leave his label.
smcoates50 i really enjoyed this movie, when eddie king sung this song it made me cry, simply because after all he went through he didn't give up. he put his trust in the lord. so when u feel like giving up put your trust in the lord and keep on going on.
sumtime it was hard 4 me and my mother been through a couple a years back...it was hard 4 us 2 go on n everytime i hear dis song i be cryin n think back @ dat day....but thank god we maded through doe
I love this song!! Is there anyone out in youtube land that has the actual singers of this song in video??? I have been searching high and low. What I mean by the actual singer, is the person that actually song Eddie "Cane" Jr's part, and Baby Dolls part on the "The Five Heartbeats" movie.
this guy said on another clip that the group was fake and with a little googling it is. they are based on the ppl songs they sing and the above group is THE HEARTBEATS nothing of a 5 in there title actually they the sheps now ... to our surprise annointed song thou
Though there may have been a group called the Heartbeats the movie was about a fictional composite group named The Five Heartbeats based mostly upon The Dells.
Im not from the era and really i dont know them , from what robert townsend said when he made this movie is that it was based on the group the heartbeart's..... the situation's all trace back to that group because they where great and made it but they faded out just as quick as they where on top of the world.... but look out for the real story about the dell's cooming soon ...............
I'm not from the era either, and I hadn't heard of The Dells & I didn't know there was an actual group called the Heartbeats until I saw the comments on here yesterday. But if you go to the Dells website it talks about the movie being based on them, and it says so in numerous other articles about the movie.
I love black music movies like this so I hope something similar will be coming out soon!
The photo is of the original Heartbeats - one of the greatest groups of the 50's and are now making a comeback. This song is NOT by the originals in the photo. The song may be from the Townsend fictional movie The Five Heartbeats - please stop confusing the two and play "A Thousand Miles Away" or one of the other great songs by the original group.
The original Heartbeats who are pictured in this video DID NOT record this song. Their hits including A Thousand Miles Away are on other videos. It is unfair to the families of these gentlemen to associate them with the Townsend film. Maybe you should put a photo of the Dells on this one since they were involved in the film.
I thought the heartbeats were a "fictional" group based on a composite of groups like The Temtations, the Dells etc. from that time. The information was on Wikipedia. Maybe I misread?
Hey all I love this song too. Question I always thought that the movie was based on the life of The Dells............. I didnt know this was a real group. So does anyone know which group is the basis of the movie?
plot of the film (which is loosely based on the lives of several artists; The Dells, The Temptations, Frankie Lymon, Sam Cooke and others)[6] follows the three decade career of the fictional band The Five Heartbeats. The film depicts the rise and fall of a Motown inspired soul acts through the eyes of the film's main protagonist Donald "Duck" M
EnChristosEime: So ~ you listened to this song, just the other day? God never leaves Himself without a witness, does He not? Receive His agape and continue to hold on! Grace and Peace to you, in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
I can listen to this song over and over i've been through so much and I never gave up. this song inspires me to continue in the struggle. May GOD bless everyone who hears this song.
