  • Really Great movie. Accurate to say the very least. I remember how things used to be...I am so Happy we as a Country have grown so much....

  • Where movie do the other scenes come from? I know The Five Heartbeats. What's the other?

  • I can listen to this song everyday. Beautiful, clear and eloquent.

  • Very curious, the scenes with the girl and guy in the blue jackets, what is this from? The movie scenes I know, love the movie even to this day, but never seen the scenes in the storage room.

  • Love it

  • Love, Love, Love this song. I believe!!!!

  • Love doesn't come free, you have to build it up (trust, respect and togetherness). So true!!!!!

  • Seems to be five heart beats from movie also playing. I had to check myself on this and listen to the five heartbeats afterwards. This video is interesting. Great job!

  • Love this song! They can really blow!

  • this is real music, not the crap playin' on the radio!!! my old school sista's raised me right.....

  • WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL THESE MAN THIS! HEART IS A HOUSE FOR LOVE. TWO HEARTS IS BETTA THAN ONE.

  • OMG!!....Love This Song!!.....Love It...

  • lol this from 5 heartbeats my fav part was when duc was like no man this my music and knocked that fool off the piano and Eddie jumped up singing and hollering lol

  • I LOVE THIS SONG. 2 HEARTS IS BETTER THAN 1. HEART IS A HOUSE FOR LOVE

  • man do ever think we have music like this again????

  • @SASSYBABY411 Hell naw!!... they don't make music like that nomore....and probably never will.....

  • @MsNunue What a shame because this is music they could sing from the heart God I love and miss back in the days when you could feel what they were saying

  • @SASSYBABY411 Absolutely!!.... cause now days....music just ain't the same...

  • i love this freakin songgggggggggggggggggggggggggg­g 2wrongs dont make it right... but wrongs was the night i kept you guessin...... love it

  • :) I still love and respect this group. I was so sad when they had Carter'e funeral! I grew up in south suburbs of the Chi! :) I am glad to have felt a sense of connection with older adults. Reminds me of old school, love, and soul and heart felt things. :) The good ones are leaving fast! I wish I could have met or seen some of them live before they left!

  • What a sound they had. Love the Mighty Mighty Dells.

  • What happened to the black lady in the blue jacket? I remember her but haven't seen her in a while. The lead is blowing. I never knew what he looked like. I just remember the movie. They need to let these old groups make new album instead of recycling and repackaging their same old 5-10 songs on new "Best of" or "Essential"albums. If you want to make money off of them then let them make new music and entertain us once again!

  • Whew...men used to know how to really SLOW dance to music like this....hit all the dips and beats in the right place. No matter what kind of day you had, dancing with them made you feel like a queen.

    Wonderful memories.

  • love this cool real love song's

  • powerhouse vocals.

  • The movie was the Five Heartbeats

  • i love love loved this movie!!

  • THIS IS THE BEST PART ON THE MOVIE.. is there a heart in the house 2nght

  • Angie I love u girl ....and them haters r just jealous of us hopefully youll realize thats what its all about.

  • THE FIVE HEARTBEATS; FAVORITE MOVIE; THE DELLS ARE GREAT !!!!!

  • To bad that this song didn't get the prop's that it deserve until the movie came out. The Five Heartbeats.........He know he sang this song, have to love it. LOVE THE DELLS

  • Right before Kevin Hart comes on stage, this song plays.

    And then it transitions into Rick Ross. :)

  • There is Love in the World & in Church.!!!!! As we here clearly here. P.S. We have been taught differently by many Religion's. P.S. That have in slaved us to there system of thinking. Which made them Trillion's & Billion's & will continue. P.S. But it's evident that the people that run our World now have some different view's. That's why they are taring down & building up.

  • This video is very hard 4 me 2 watch & not cry. Like Iam doin now.P.S.This is all I been saying all my life. 2 death ear's unfortunatly. but if we can work on this we will be better as a people. Let's all give it a try. Love.!!!!!!!

  • THIS SONG NEVER GET OLD THE DELLS ARE ONE OF MY TOP GROUP

  • I'm 19 n I wished I grew up in their time. Cuz this generation lacks music skills. Back then people could actually sing n if u could sing u got kicked off stage. Now all u have to is put ur voice through a computer n your the next big "artist". It's really sad

  • One of the absolute BEST made for TV movies EVER made on a music group!! I LOVE this song!! I'm a little confused though...who's song is this? The Five Heartbeats or The Dells? Anyone know?

  • @Thriller26 I used to wonder too. The Five Heartbeats is not a real group. They portray the lives of The Dells, Temptations, etc. Kind of like the cast on Dreamgirls.

  • @2nkc WOW...good to know. Would NEVER have thunk it. Good lookin' out.

  • @Thriller26 This wasn't a TV movie, this movie came out in movie theatres. That's "The Temptations" you're talking about that was a TV movie. But, I do feel you that this was one of the best movie ever about a singing group. Robert Townsend and that whole cast put it down in that movie!

  • @QCongress83 No, it wasn't the Temptations, I know the difference between the 2 movies but now that I think about it, I guess you're right. I think I do remember years ago when I was a young kid I 1st saw this on HBO (hence had to have played to the movies 1st to come on that network). Makes sense now.

  • WOW! I was really lown away when I heard that Johnnie Carter (the first in the group) had passed away.

    R.I.P JOHNNIE! there will never be another group like the Dells,together for over 50yrs with the same members!

  • my shit

  • You betta sang this song Marvin Jr.! Goodness graciouis Marvin can blow!

  •  It gets better and better , l love this song!

  • This is real singing.

  • I love this song!

  • ~*~LOVE!!!~*~  :-)

  • This is the kind of song that gives you chills and makes tears roll down. it's so good. This is why they call it soul.

  • @sndchsr yes yes yes!!!!!

  • I LUV THIS SONG ONE OF MY OLD TIME FAVS...

  • Grab the audio from this clip at speedyconversion doht cohm.

  • contagiante

  • chris brown needs to take notes

  • @blackey680 Chris Brown is not the only one that needs to take notes, so does Trey Songz, even Usher and Neyo need to take notes, because this is how you sang a song! Marvin Jr. was blowing and I mean Blowing!

  • Aaaaaaahhhhhhh! I can feel this in the marrow of my bones. Dayyyummm. Sang it!!!!

  • you're right putt they was sanging  not singing

  • This really touches the soul.

  • @Hotnessof09 the five heartbeats was supposed to be a biopic of the temptations. The dells just sang on the soundtrack.

  • So the group was named the Dells n nt the 5 heartbeats...???

  • @Hotnessof09 No sweetie, The Five Heartbeats was loosely based on The Dells, not The Temptations. Thats why The Dells sang on the soundtrack and actual songs from The Dells were used in the movie. The Temptations recorded for Motown. Completely different stories.

  • This is music I love this song

  • @Mzltc4hjb

    Yes REAL music!

  • Like any great performer, boxer, actor, whatever.....

    a performance like this one truly epitomizes the talents

    of a superstar.......Marvin Jr.

  • MY FAVORITE SONG FROM THE FIVE HEARTBEATS

  • Gotta go but the Five Hearbeats...

  • I love it!!

    I loved the movie the Five Heartbeats!!!

    And I love the Dells to!!

  • The Mighty Dells, straight outta Harvey, Illinois (my hometown)!!

  • there is no damn comparison between Billy Valentine and the Dells on this song. The Dells sang the shit outta this song...B. Valentines lacks emotion and sounds like he is singing the song sitting on his couch wasting away a Sunday evening !!! The Dells make ya wanna cry over this song !

  • 80skat....Billy Valentine was an ok singer on this song, but there is NO comparison between his version and The Dells....the Dells version has 10 times more passion in the song....Billy sings it like he is sitting on his couch passing time on a Sunday afternoon...The Dells make you feel the raw emotion of this song !!!!!!!! This is how the song is to be SANG !!!!! The Dells sing the shit outta this song !

  • According to the movie sound track... In house singers sang all these songs.... Billy Valentine sang the lead on this song and did all of the parts for Eddie King Jr.

    If you look up Billy Valentine you will hear the original version of this song. Or at least the one that was used in the movie. The Dells only were consultants for this movie.

    Billy Valentine has a powerhouse of a voice.

  • shortyakadiva- i am a 63 yr old white boy and i loved the Dells fromwayyyyy back when...my deepest condolences concerning your loss of a Five Heartsbeat father's and like Marvin ,Eli, and so many others this music touch so many hearts.../

  • i love this song im one of clarince (from the fiveheart beat) daughters sadly he passd away back in 99 but as i look at all his videos and songs he had a amazing voice.. R I P pops

  • just saw five heartbeats movie ...and had to find this song

  • I just got done watching The Five Heartbeats...I love that movie!!!! And the songs in there were great!!

  • might dmighty dells don't get as much luv as temptations but these guys can really sang

  • @vivaciousvonne - the Five Heartbeats is a fictional singing group in the movie, "The Five Heartbeats." The (Mighty, Mighty) Dells did all the vocals in this movie, including this song.

  • Love this song....Dells forever!

  • RIP Mr. Carter.

  • Most music today is big show off-no talent. There are still damned good singers out there, they are just not with the hip-hop crazed young people of today. I'm glad to see R. Kelly shut people up displaying his talents musicmaking and SANGING!!!!

  • @keithmaria31907 I gotta agree with you "keithmaria31907"

  • BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

  • What happened to music?!? Music today doesn't talk to you like this anymore. SMH

  • Love this song!!!! blow baby blow..

  • Such great music man!!!!

  • This is the kind of music where you had to know how to sang !

  • @puttmannia Yes, you are 100 % correct !! "Back in the day " groups had to have TALENT !!! "OLD SCHOOL RULES " !!!

  • @puttmannia I love how this video is put together.....nice job

  • I never get tired of listening to this ! That Marvin Jr. had some serious skills! BLOWING, BLOWING !

  • @PapaC1957 Marvin Junior is unreal. The Dells are my favorite singing group. I can't get enough of their superhuman vocal talents.

  • @pinkdiamond1011 Kudos, big up and ALL dat. We are STARVING for more Dell's performances on YouTube. Do ya think there will be anymore forthcoming? I attempted to video at a concert I attended in the '80's but was forced to stop by security with the threat of expulsion. Did the group have their own videos of their concerts. The world awaits!

    I LOVE YOU DELL'S :D !!!

  • Build it up.

  • Stop ..............................­...Play'in

  • Good lord! Ya'll better sing that song! So beautiful!

  • simply beautiful...

  • NAMASTE ~ 2OUL 2 SOUL ~ HEARTS BEATING AS ~1~ :) THANK YOU ~

  • The younguns think that the five heartbeats made this song ! They have no idea who the Dells are !

  • @PapaC1957 lol I knew who the Dells were by the time I was 6, but I don't remember seeing the movie until I was about 8. When I saw it I instantly recognized that it was the Dells because NO ONE sings like Marvin Junior.

  • @bballano31

    Kudo's my friend, I think I meant my own younguns..lol These are some bad boy's!

  • This is the type of music that made people want to hear our band play . We never made it but thank God ,WE CAME AWFUL CLOSE.

  • I THINK MY GRANDFATHER WOULD JUST SMILE IF HE WAS TO HEAR ALL OF YOU ALLS COMMENTS ABOUT HIM! HI! IM MARVIN JUNIOR THE LEAD SINGER OF THE DELLS GRAND DAUGHTER! AND I THINK YOU'ALL CAN AGREE WITH ME THAT THEY NEVER GOT THE RECOGNITION THAT THEY DESERVED! BUT THANKS YOU ALL FOR THE GOOD COMMENTS ABOUT MY GRANDPA!

  • @PINKDIAMOND1011

    They deserve every word and then some. I'm a youngin (36) but I grew up on their music cleaning up the house on Sat morning in Chicago.

    I also want to thank Robert Townsend for bringing there story to the forefront.

    Mighty Mighty Dells!!!

  • @PINKDIAMOND1011

    God bless you ! You have every reason to be proud. I have recently been found by the love of my life after 30 yrs, this is our song. We use to to just hold each (sometimes..lol) and love the music of the Dells!

  • The lead singer of the Dells was goin in hard on this song. Now that is what you call real R&B and soul singing!

  • I love this song its my favorite song from the Dells!

  • The Dells, the one and only, they don't make groups like this anymore, been together over 50 years, only changed one member because one passed away, that's dedication, committment to greatness.

  • They are the greatest group of all time hands down. People look at AWARDS let's look at their talent. These guys were on a little label Chess Records and did the best they could with what they had and they've been around for 55 years together. Johnny " Choir Boy " Carter passed away last August at 75 years of age; and is the rock n roll hall of fame with the Dells and The Flamingo so as far as the best Falsetto ever HOF speaks for it self.

  • the lead singers voice is absolutely mind blowing. this is from the era when people actually sang and there was not all this other stuff in the background camouflaging the singers voice.

  • this period was so rich in musical creation!dells like the temptations or the four tops!and many others groups!all are very good!THIS WAS THE REAL TIME OF RYTHM'ND BLUES!

  • Smooth!

  • My father Marvin Alston played guitar for a while with the Dells, The late great David Williams past the job on to Pops.

  • Marvin Junior and Levi Stubs the true kings of SOUL!!!!

  • i love ol skoo muzik

  • Love this....love this....love this...love this...The Dells were one of the best!

  • The lead singer is named Marvin Junior of the legendary group The Dells.

    Marvin Junior's singing influence the late Teddy Pendergrass.

  • i got to say this song is the bomb.filled with emotion and you can see their haerts are in it.the lead singer well this guy is great.i was looking at the five heartbeats but i never knew about this one.i wish the groups of this day would sing as good as this.but i suppose this time has come and gone.now we got to make way for new styles.nice one.renren009.you big.......

  • Awesome.

  • cold song made you sqirim in yoir seat.

  • Beautiful vid. What more is there to say?

  • I'm on 22yrs old.. I grew up on the 70's....I LOVE THEM....

  • This is the best song ever. They just don't make music like this anymore.

  • I miss U Uncle. U kept it real to the very end. Your spirit will live on in my heart forever. The thought of U brings fresh tears everytime, but the CREATOR knows what's best. I want to say thanx to all those who posted about Uncle Johnny. I can tell you for sure, it would make him smile and feel it was worth all he had to endure to make it in the music industry.

  • @KassanovaBrowne WOW I am so sorry for your loss but thank you to your uncle for truely blessing us w/his (their) TRUE, REAL,SOUL TOUCHING music..God has blessed us with your uncle and the The Dells..EXTRORDINARY men... God bless you and your family..
