These gentlemen did blow my mind w/songs such as this. The Delfonics/Blue Magic/Blue Notes/Chi Lites/Moments, and the Stylistics were a staple of groups that came out of Philadelphia Pennsylvania. As Motown was to Detroit Michigan, the Philly sound was to Philadelphia. For a time in the late 60's to early 70's the Philly sound surpassed the Motown w/groups such as the Delfonics. Thanks to Thom Bell & Linda Creed for writing most of the music for these groups.
If you didn't grow up in Southern Cali,you wouldn't have a clue on the beautiful life in the hoods driving Lowriders & hitting switches as a Black teenagers in High School...with these brothers Blowing doing their thang...The Delphonics one of the Greatest groups of all times....wish we could turn the clock back...
When I was a teenager in the early 1970s, I heard this on a PA in a public swimming pool and instantly loved it. The high roof and big space made the sound reverb, and weirdly, no matter all the times I've heard it since, I still hear it in my memory with reverb and smell chlorine!
These are one of the many philly great philly soul groups of the 60's/70's, Not to Mention, The Intruders, Stylistics, Teddy Pendrgras and The Blue notes,So Muce talent in My town,Barbara Mason, and Kenny and Leon founders of TSOP can You dig it?

"south park version is way better" Syke! You sound pretty ridiculous.South park is a joke, and so are you for posting this stupid comment.How can you compare some stupid cartoon to this? This song is a masterpiece.
When you say South Park version, do you mean the one on the episode where Cartman formed a Christian group or something? I thought that song sounded familiar.....
but the original one (this one) is like 10,000,000,000,000 times better. :D
These Cats and the Stylistics were the slow jam Kings hands down, I miss the days gone bye, but have been blessed to have been there, inspired by the values of that period. And just like my woman is my Queen I love Her dearly, all the loves past were Beautiful Black Women and Queens in there own! Shout to the Old Crew "Southcommons-Southside Chitown! miss roller skatin not much here in MN cept workin and crusin my Goldwing-lil mini Lakeshore drive lol
man this just feels good in ya sould when you hear music like this... a feelin of no drama... jus goodness, lol... wish music still was good like back in the day
i'm 25 and i listen to extreme metal, but i really love this song. 1st heard it on the movie Jackie Brown w/pam grier (tarentino version). very beautiful song
There's good stuff out there, you just have to dig more these days as it all went out of popularity. Check out Sharon Jones or the labels ubiquity or daptone. Also Eldridge Gravy and the Court Supreme from Seattle, I hear that's pretty "fresh".
djhardrock.......very cool and acurate insight on Mr. Thom Bell and the brilliant mind he had for lush arrangements, behind vocals. I always loved the oboe/English horn,
lol, actually the "viking horn" is trademark Thom Bell productions. He was a flow blown classically trained arranger and producer. His work is almost alway lush and big. Somehow he always manages to stay out of the way of the vocals with 10,000 insturments playing very critical parts.
I love this song, but I wonder which one of them was like, "Hey guys, lets add some crazy ass viking horn sounds to the begininning of the song!" And the rest of them were like, "sure, ok" and they did that wierd ass shit.
Personally, every victory is bittersweet. The coaching staff needs to go. I've felt that way since Brad Childress took over. The offense runs the same four or five plays, can't control the clock for garbage, they spent a second-round draft pick on an Arena-leauge back-up(Tar-Tar Jackson) and the special teams coach is a joke and a half.
So, the short answer; The Purple Gang need to get a new coaching staff, save for the defense coordinator, Leslie Frazier.
I honestly never took the time to ever comment a video out of the lord knows how many thousands of videos i have watched over the years. But the fact that a young man the same age as me was sitting and bumping this song and wishing the same thing as me only a day before i did it....
I can't stop watching this! Hadn't heard it in sooooo long, and haven't been able to stop singing it in my head, and out loud(to the detriment of those around meLOL) sent it to a lot of people and they can't stop singing it too!! GREAT SONG THANK YOU AGAIN MANUEL!! Should have posted this first time around!!!
having just listened to the nkotb version, I'm going to have to tell you that you are crazy. Having rabid fans is no substitute for real talent, but I guess if some Worcester bar-hag has a crush lingering crush on a group of has-beens thats gotta count for something.
I'm 48 and I say bravo to you. Now you're really on the track. Growing up with these classics was a joy. It wasn't easy being white and catching hell from knuckleheads on the bus in the morning before school.
this song touches the hearts of many.......... an it is betta than wat we listen 2 2day we listen 2 a lot of wanna be's an so0o0o0o sad im 14 an i noe this wen r the adults goin 2 noe it :(
Thats rediculus. I strongly appreciate this music and yet I can also find enlightenment in the poetic sense of modern hip hop. If you think there is no talent in hip hop then you are clearly looking in the wrong places. I admit, hip hop that is topping the charts is mostly big studio fed and un-artistic. But if you search, you can find hip hop that is incredibly poetic, to the likes of Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, The Roots, and MANY others.
watch ?uestlove from the roots drum and tell me he hasn't got any talent....the truth is these guys didnt rely on comptuers so much so people got serious tight on their playing and singing its a shame that anyone can get produced and get a record....but even with all that there is still some serious talent out there nowadays...but if it aint about killings niggas it won't get played... i recommend blacklicious' album 'nia' if you want to hear some hip hop with talent
Thank you for your comments. Truth is, I'm REALLY not listenting to much of ANY rap these days!!! Again, I never meant to imply that ALL rap is "no-talent", however, I feel that 95% of it is...I'm ready for something entirely different...something "fresh" (if you will) I do agree with many of your comments though. It does appear that what we hear on the radio is the most vile form. That is (partially) why I agreed with what "Dr. Whatson" stated in his comments one week ago...
I gave my heart and soul to you Baby....I am alone I never cheated on you Baby...I go to bed alone evey night wishing you were there...is this a dream I dream alone??
"All great art LASTS" (Dave Godin) This song certainly lasts, and moves me as much today as it did when I first heard it back in 1970! - in fact, given the parlous state of some of today's Black music, it sounds even better in retrospect. Plea to today's artists: Give up rappin', go back to church and learn to SING again - the world sure needs you!
For all you "Sound Of Philadelphia" lovers...I've compiled some SUPER playlists of MASTERPIECES JUST LIKE THIS (on my humble channel)...ripe and ready for the picking! ENJOY!!!
Man, to the person who said that New Kids on the Block did this song better than the Defonics obviously didn't come up on this stuff, and doesn't know talent..This is the shit right here..Smooth,stone-cold slow jammin',slow dancin' with your baby. Nobody did it better than the Delfonics..This reminds me of my high school dances and my senior prom..Great, great stuff..Thanks for posting this and bringing back lots of fine memories..
You are 100% correct on your comments. This song is done best by the original artist (Delfonics). These gentlemen in my opinion were the best of their day. All the best..
Fantastic song inspired me to start writing,listen carefuly at 1.08 the semiquaver run by the orchestra,the downbeat doesn,t come where expected,this bit almost written in 5\4.
Yes! Quinten Tarantino new how great these gentelmen were. They were so good that he had their music put into the movie Jackie Brown. Matter of fact their music was played throughout the movie.
Can't look back just move forward- the Delfonics made history with this sound that still resonates till this day. I will always cherish the memories.Thanks Delfonics!!!
the first time I ever saw a live group was in Tucson, Az 1970 along with my gal Mary Hilyard. They blew my mind with how smooth they were and how good they sounded.
Can I get a little help peoples? What was the B-side of "Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time? It may not have been quite the cut that the A-side was but nevertheless I smoothed the grooves o' that 45! I do recall a almond-eye houri figured in the equation.
I'm really feelin this joint right here. I'm gonna sing it at karaoke tonight. This stuff puts the folk on the dance floor. There ain't nothing like gettin close to your girl and dancing to joints like this. Somebody say something if they know what I mean. I want to do some Tempree's to, but they don't have'em. Not even one joint. The Delfonic's will get the job done. Trust....
Jackie Brown brought me here :)

Personally, every victory is bittersweet. The coaching staff needs to go. I've felt that way since Brad Childress took over. The offense runs the same four or five plays, can't control the clock for garbage, they spent a second-round draft pick on an Arena-leauge back-up(Tar-Tar Jackson) and the special teams coach is a joke and a half.
So, the short answer; The Purple Gang need to get a new coaching staff, save for the defense coordinator, Leslie Frazier.

You are 100% correct on your comments. This song is done best by the original artist (Delfonics). These gentlemen in my opinion were the best of their day. All the best..

Fantastic song inspired me to start writing,listen carefuly at 1.08 the semiquaver run by the orchestra,the downbeat doesn,t come where expected,this bit almost written in 5\4.

Yes! Quinten Tarantino new how great these gentelmen were. They were so good that he had their music put into the movie Jackie Brown. Matter of fact their music was played throughout the movie.

the first time I ever saw a live group was in Tucson, Az 1970 along with my gal Mary Hilyard. They blew my mind with how smooth they were and how good they sounded.

Can I get a little help peoples? What was the B-side of "Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time? It may not have been quite the cut that the A-side was but nevertheless I smoothed the grooves o' that 45! I do recall a almond-eye houri figured in the equation.

I'm really feelin this joint right here. I'm gonna sing it at karaoke tonight. This stuff puts the folk on the dance floor. There ain't nothing like gettin close to your girl and dancing to joints like this. Somebody say something if they know what I mean. I want to do some Tempree's to, but they don't have'em. Not even one joint. The Delfonic's will get the job done. Trust....
