The sweet smoothness of this song is unique.

[IsisDaughter1]

[decker1745]

this song was my exgirlfriend song she song to me once on the phone when we where i high schoolits be thirty years and guess what out of the blus she found me now we need to start over again but its worth it very much

[titansisaac8]

BEST I EVA HAD!

[dlaguilera]

@titansisaac8 Dude seriously! Beginning interlude to Drake's "Best I Ever Had" song! After the beginning . . . eh, the song doesn't seem to have any creative flow as "Best I Ever Had" does and keeps the flow of the heart of the song at best.

[titansisaac8]

@dlaguilera every time i hear this song now, if it plays on the radio, imma think of drake's song. My generation.

[1967SueB]

I wish I could go back to the 70s. Such happy years.

[4everKeyz]

@1967SueB -- Yes they were. :)

[KissySquirrel]

How in the hell(o) do you post Youtubes  on FB anymore???

[bdgop]

@KissySquirrel Hit the "Share" button, and it give you a drop down menu w/ Facebook. Click on the "f" button and proceed.

[lvn4life]

Another blue eyed soul classic! I was trying to find this for my son the other day because he needed to understand where the roots of today's music (and yes I meant the Drake song) came from!!

[Jimhowhern28]

Bad ass oldie but goodie but I can't find the original version on Itunes.

[derslayer1]

Them boys with the mouth, BIg talk on a website.... visit me and I,ll show you respect... and put you and your teeth, on your prissy ass

[AYOOFOOLIN98]

drake-best i ever had

[jaakriaj]

I´m twenty one when I listen that!

[daisy1246]

Who are the idiots who leave such potty mouth language? If you can't be respectable don't even comment ahs.

[daisy1246]

aah, it does seem like yesterday I use to sing along with this tune. Love it! Thanks for sharing and bringing back old beautiful memories.

[archie977]

nice song thnx for posting hahahhaa

[dcmacleod1]

awesome song...very catchy!! keep up the good work...i love this new band!

[daisy1246]

@dcmacleod1 They are not a new band . They have been around for years. Still sounds good. Have a great day.

[pianobillf]

Back when pop and soul merged so effortlessly.

[bluesman1571]

The 1 dislike never fell in love.

[JustinBieberisGOD1]

the guy on the left looks like Freddie Mercury

[tmvga]

Makes you young again doesn't it?

[brenda12377]

i just love this song

[SiglundR]

I was really too young to know what "fallin' in love" meant, but who cares -- such a sweet song, and real music! Real melody AND harmony. Thanks.

[BlueRemix2]

always hear this song at universal studios lol

[donnellraymond4]

Loved this one glad they have youtube.com,couldn't find in record shops

[59jimmyb]

Ahhh memories, memories, memories..such a beautiful song

[4050322]

Dislike button shouldn't exist for this video!!!

[season54]

@4050322 I have always loved this song. And you are 100% correct. There should not be a dislike button for this song.

[mejan94]

Best I Ever Had. (Y)

[sawith65]

Trying like mad to find this (original) version digitally...all i can find is a re-recorded version =( Can anyone please direct me to this version?? Thx

[Svancara]

i remember hearing this track on That 70's Show. Only it was a cover version and the lead male singer had a much deeper voice. Could anyone help me out with this?

[nutleyguitar1968]

Written by Dan Hamilton.

[MechelenManiac]

When you're young and you're discovering what life and love are all about it's music like this that affects you a lot, top tune.

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Love this song.

George Vreeland Hill

[dannydutchboy2011]

[bobbie405]

[decker1745]

[donnydcyclops]

Wow, still nice after all these years!

[OneOfThePartyPeople]

some rapper needs to sample the intro of this tune. that would be dope.

[arexusful]

A wonderful trio of 1975

[dana7298]

this is one of those that takes me back to very early (and innocent) teen years.

this is in my top 3. and I"m old. LOVEIT LOVEIT LOVEIT

THANK YOU HJ &R

[Ranger88video]

Always loved this song

[corkskrewclubhouse93]

Fuck Drake 

[duhercik52]

GREAT music ! They just don't make them like this anymore...Dan Hamilton-GREAT song writer,

[EbonyDee]

Dear Mike,

There must be some missunderstanding from you part. At no circumstance of my comments I intended to inflame your ethnics rethoric. In fact, my words wanted to compliment you and the great job that the group have done.

I´ll keep my thoughts on the group but I´ll review my understanding on your character.

I just posted my opinion on the video´s music style. Period.

Your response to my simple lines was untimely placed, unfortunate, weak and psychically affected.

[winsome81]

very sexy

[EbonyDee]

Black music at its prime

[mikefromAG]

@EbonyDee we whites created EVERYTHING of quality..including music..stop trying to take credit for everything spooks...I know you all think everyone is out to get you..Its been over 200 years since lincoln freed you..get a life and stop blaming us because you are all drug dealer losers

[grimacekiller]

@mikefromAG right on dude your one of the few people on here who understand that.nigeers are violent animals

[UserRED13]

@mikefromAG Whoa...

[1porcupinetree]

@mikefromAG Whites didnt create EVERYTHING of qulity music you fucking dumbass.Typical honky trash

[huntersingle]

@1porcupinetree just like air isnt 100% oxygen either asshole

[1porcupinetree]

@huntersingle FUCK YOU...yeah some whites are cool and others suck..like you

[huntersingle]

@1porcupinetree EAT SHIT FUCKER, KICK YOUR QUEER BEANER ASS

GO TO HELL AND DONT WAIT FOR HOLLOWEEN

[1porcupinetree]

@huntersingle FUCK YOU SMALL DICK...

[huntersingle]

@1porcupinetree FUCK YOU SMALL COCK AND NO BALLS

[bredub63]

i work at a grocery store and this song never gets old, even after the 1223billionth time

[Dayquezzy1]

Know you got a Roomate..Call me when its no one there..Put the key under the Mat and You know i'll be over there #YEAH..Best I Ever Had

[olani77]

I see why drake sampled this...that guitar sounds tight!!

[chrisben3]

Love this song and what always amazed me was that it also hit #24 on the R&B chart when it really wasn't really promoted to R&B radio. This was a time when radio of all formats wasn't afraid to take a chance and play songs "outside the box". Seems like radio today just plays it safe.

[roapgalli1]

voltei ao passado.

[DrGreenThumb863]

lol 0 dislikes...  :)

[MrFacebookhater]

3 minutes and 6 seconds is not enough for a song so beatiful!

This song pass the test of time!

[Palmtree2011]

"play it again Sam" !!

[charlessikes]

Wish Jo Frank would put his song Carole on for us old delta guys to remember.

[TWMAN454]

What a positive, feel-good song. How can you not smile when you hear this? They just don't make em like this any more. My wife, Debbie and I both thank you for posting this.

[shardapes]

what key is this song in?

[slimsim7]

Just found out today that Drizzy sampled this! Idk how he found it, but I'm glad he did, that guitar part is smooth

[nikkigixxmorrison]

i love 70s, magnifica cancion, buenos recuerdos

[brittanyultra]

Drake doesn't have SHIT on this song..!!

[christheone8773]

@brittanyultra who's DRAKE?



[crlaw75]

@christheone8773, he is a Canadian rapper.

[Mr429guy]

Now that I've unloaded my concerns about iTunes, the focus turns to the song itself. Classic mid-70s tune. My sister had the 45 and my little brother always did a bunny hop to this (oh, don't ask-you'd have to see it). These guys are known as a 2 hit wonder ("Don't Pull Your Love" peaked at #4 during the summer of '71). The group name always sounded like a law firm to me. I can hear the ad now: "Yes, I'm being represented by the law offices of Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds".

[DaveWollenberg]

They hit #1 in Billboard, 8-23-75. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! RIP, Dan Hamilton.

[TwinIThaiboy]

no dislike,super good song

[jin010342]

idk why ppl are mad that drake sampled this song for best i ever had

like honestly, how many ppl knew that he sampled it off of this song when it first came out

i just found out

[leftyla]

@jin010342 Well I guess enough people knew that Drake ripped off the song since he's being sued for copyright infringement. LOL

[tdoggydogg11]

so glad drake did this, thank you hamilton, joe frank & reynolds for taking a part in one of the greatest songs of the decade

[jobeLewOOH]

"Fallin' in Love" was a #1 hit on the adult contemporary chart in the U.S. for one week in 1975. Released in May 1975. They don't play this music anymore. That's why I don't listen to the radio. I love the melody and the lyrics and that smooth easy rock sound.

[Mr429guy]

@buechst - I totally agree with you. Unfortunately, ITunes made a deal with K-tel for a lot of their compilation CDs. K-tel is notorious for having rerecorded versions of hits in lieu of the originals. Rhino would have been far better (always the original versions). I ran into the same problem with Alan O'Day's "Undercover Angel". Scour record stores to get Rhino label compilations or get H, JF & R's greatest hits. You'll have to load the CD on your PC. Pain in the butt, I know.

[Aeschlimann1]

DRAKE IS A CHIMPANZEE. He should keep his paws off this and try writing a melody for himself and see how far he gets.

[ccg91]

Beautiful sound, great music for sure.

[betadazeahed]

msbunnypaws, if you really want to hear a great rap song that samples this, try "Room to Breathe" by Downtown Science. You will really hear how tight this instrumental is when it is tweaked by a talented hip-hop producer and a rap replaces the original vocals. Old School hip-hop at its best

[msbunnypaws]

BTW, does anyone else wonder where these rappers here this old white music? Hah. I've never heard of most the songs they end up sampling.

[xoxgodofgodsgodxx]

@msbunnypaws

Same as everyone else- their parents probably played the oldies where ever they went.

And it's not just the "old white music"- funk, disco, and soul, mostly black dominated- played a larger part in hip hop imo.

I mean look at the Amen Break - The Winstons

Kool Herc's early stuff- James Brown samples

The opening to C.R.E.A.M- Good ol David Porter and Issac Hayes

[msbunnypaws]

Listening to the intro it's impossible to miss that Drake used this. How would anyone not get clearance on a sample this blatant? Gotta admit, Best I Ever Had is a great song, so I'm glad Drake recorded.

[Sargethemedic1]

This, Jim Croce, and England Dan & John Ford Coley certainly lubircated some zippers back in those summer nights.

Hello Angie, if you're ever here. We had sky rockets but no foundation.

[subherbanite]

@Sargethemedic1 LMAO, I gotta go to bed on that one.

[johnny10301968]

When in 1975 did this song chart?

[bigtimcny]

Graduated high school when this song was out, first job, first car, college ahead and fantastic music that summer. What memories this song brings back. Can still remember "parking" with the FM radio on, and this song was a "cant miss". Thanks for posting...

[dianakrall1]

This song always makes me want to make love to my husband.

[eightiesmusicrules]

Didn't David Hasselhoff cover this song about 10 years back? I seem to recall hearing him sing this on some TV show...nowhere near as good as the original!

[MrVincegg25]

dedicated to Maria Elena Carrillo whom I had a crush on....... class of 77 Seward School CHGO RG

[MsPrettywoman1]

Love this song! I wore my flintstones record player with this song...Thanks for posting :-)...

[bonitally]

Porfin encontre esta cancion aaaa XD no sabes cuanto me gusta gracias por subirla. :)

[SkinnyBabe38]

Love this song. And it only makes me think about the one I am falling in love with.....Not the one I was or thought I was in love with....AMAZING SONG.

[baxstar]

This song is so soulful. I love it.

[lsmith9857]

At age 53 Now. Every time I here this song, make me feel like a kid again. Beautiful music "Top Quality" !

[57highland]

@lsmith9857 Class of '75, huh?

[rbigcasino]

brings me back to the best

[Videordinarylife]

I'm faw-win love again.

[ASacredSpirit]

@Videordinarylife yes, I noticed that too.

[George121229]

This song was reminds me of the love of my life

[mkl62]

To all you California Golden Bears fans and most recently Charlotte Bobcats fans (like myself): This was the #1 song in the USA when Sean Marks came into the world (August 23, 1975).

[FlareTheUncalled777]

Lol They actually sued Drake for using that sample in his song. He used it without permission.

[ormandroyd999]

Brilliant

[valenciadelon19]

this is where drake samples his best i ever had

[joehodge91]

LOVE THIS SONG

[bushietoyou]

I LIKE THIS SONG

[izmixstudio]

A Good Song!!!!

なつかしいね。

from Tokyo,JAPAN

[buechst]

I am trying to find the original recording of the Hamilton Joe Frank and Reynolds song - all they have on Itunes or Amazon are crappy counterfeit rerecorded versions. Maybe other people can't tell the difference, but I can. This one on Utube is the real original...how can I get an MP3 of this?

[lovelymoonmelody]

@buechst wow i tried to put a link to the site where you can convert this URL into an mp3 file...they won't allow me to type it...sweet. google "media converter" its a .org site

[mflores910]

@buechst yea i can't find it either. i've been looking for it for a while. if you get it let me know.

[ravalos1991]

@mflores910 i got it off mp3raid.com it worked for me i was also looking for it. i found it there.

[amd77j]

This is why the 70s music rocked. Quality, diversity, and depth of music back then was awesome. Thanks for posting!!!!

[anako76]

god this is so good

[joehodge91]

love it

[78729]

i was wating for the dun dun dun dun , dun dun dun. when I heard it on the radio.

[SKracing]

Like the andy griffith theme song.

[ASacredSpirit]

fawin in love...fawin in love.

[DylanHughesss]

@ASacredSpirit

i noticed that too. he sounds like an idiot lol

[The1962Misslady]

Just breathtaking such music lives forever......

[StowAlex]

I used to make love to my lady in a van down by the river .....with this band playin'....lol

Good group

[bella27xo1]

oh those slow dance days from high school crush...take me back to this time lolxo

[SBGK415]

Best I Ever Had samples off Fallin' In Love

[TheFinalView]

@SBGK415 old news

[iApHRoDiTeZz]

@SBGK415 yes that is why drake was gettin sued

[subherbanite]

@SBGK415 Nothing is safe from the almighty sampling is it, really great song.

[loestar59]

@Damionz30 that drake loser. and so or you . you wouldnt know good music if it jump up and kick you in the face. you wasnt gleam. in your father eyes when that song came out . so what do you know . so shut the hell up,

[Damionz30]

this sounds so much than Drake's- the best I ever had. literally!!!

[DaveWollenberg]

Billboard's #44 song for '75. Actually, it was done by Hamilton, Joe Frank, and Alan Dennison. Hit #1 pop, and AC in Billboard. God bless! RIP, Dan Hamilton.

[57highland]

@DaveWollenberg Reynolds had left the group, but they didn't want to do a name change, so Dennison became Reynolds, kinda.

[jean28xx]

lol drake copied a small part of this song

[DannyBruins]

yessssssssssss......

[chuck621]

This song brings back soooo many good memories of when life was so much fun and when we were worry free... I love, love. love. this song!!!

[bob110h]

how in the world did drake ever think to sample this??!!

[kamayoufabrice]

It sounds a bit like Best I Ever Had - Drake

[TRIPPlN]

@kamayoufabrice Thats cause Boi-1da used this sample and sent the beat to drake but playboy magazine is sueing drake and cash money records cause they own the copyrights for this song

[smarteepants41859]

@kamayoufabrice Dan Hamilton (RIP) wrote Best I Ever Had. That song just won a BMI award and Drake is being sued for copyright infringement. Artists have to respect other artists and Dan Hamilton has a family.

[ASacredSpirit]

@smarteepants41859 wow. Why do people think they can get away with stuff like that.Give credit where it's due. Not that hard.

[aw100626]

BOI 1DA is a beast for samplin this, Drake be thankful!!

[THE48LAWS]

@aw100626 Right boi 1da did his lil thang to this jawn foreal..

[dgee15]

Best I ever heard!!

[godsmackguy]

[therealraybaby]

@godsmackguy Yup! I agree 100%. 

[myhusband23]

this is great music.... love this song :)

[Querencias]

Very fine song, great memories.  Many thanks P143.

[speedoflite1]

Ahhhh, a favorite since college in '75, and far beyond; played it over and over.

In a car. In a shower. doesn't matter; it's always right on time.

[mrslideinsideu2]

I wish they still put songs together like this

[rowdymax1]

Pure AM Gold...nothing like it before or since.

[auroralights100]

Love early 70s soft rock hits like this.  It's what made 70s FM radio so special.

[TEEYEASCHOOLS]

@auroralights100 Hip Hop has to thank Rock for making Hip Hop what it is now.

[dexamyl]

@auroralights100 I much prefer the days when FM played underground , classical , jazz and long-play rock ; not the same old "simulcast" crap that's been on KLOS , et al. , forever now ...
