The Originals - The Bells

[OliviatheSlave]

@MadMax6144 -- Hell, they can't even SPELL 'anticipation' these days! Idiots all!

[madmax6144]

Brings back memories of red light parties in the basement, dancing with your "true love" all night until someone's mother turns all the bright lights back on. When "going all the way" was only what the "fast girls" did. When a kiss was enough to sustain your teenage emotions for weeks, anxious to see that special person at school, thinking of him every time you heard certain songs. Too bad today's teen miss out, going straight to the boot knocking without the delicious fun of anticipation.

[Geecarter29]

This was what it was all about, remember the house parties on 26th street in Churchill (Rich.,Va) back in the day. We jammed off of these songs..didn't know that they would be the classic they are today. Well, sought of..lol

[DivineEffort2010]

This is one of my favorite slow jams ....the memories of what my granny called puppy love! so intense and FOR REAL! We need to teach our kids to pull out some these old skool songs to speak for them in times of trouble if they do not know the words to say!

[bestcorral06]

This Song Is Dedicated To Damaris, Love You Babe =)) I'm Proud To Call You My Baby Momma

The Originals were on Motown's "Soul" label and this is proof that thats the label they belonged on, they started out as Ty Hunter and The Voicemasters on Gwen Gordy's Anna label in 1958, RIP C.P Spencer and Freddie Gorman

[SellTheBenefits]

Thumbs up if you can communicate via ''hand signals'' similar to those of the American Sign Language.

The younger generation truly missed out on great music. Thank God I was born to enjoy wonderful music! Call it old school if you want but I can still enjoy it today.

[XxOiScouT138xX]

[energetic926]

yeah i agree! click to mp3ifier.com to download this song as an mp3!

[ladydilugo1]

carlos medina do you hear the bells im always hearing them love ya always lady d

[pannoni1]

I'd consider this a "politically correct friendly" Holiday song based on the lyrics.

[GETTINGYOUNGERONE]

@pannoni1 Have you or anyone else heard a title called the Bells with the lyrics "There goes white horses, with eyes of flaming red, there goes tiny ribbons, all around my baby's head, the bells are ringing, and they say all to go and see, cause I know why they're ringing, they're ginging out for me" It was recorded mid-50s/early 60s by a doo wop singer. Thanks in anticipation.

[RighteousResolve]

@GETTINGYOUNGERONE That would be "The Bells" by Billy Ward and The Dominoes, w/Clyde McPhatter, singing lead.

[RighteousResolve]

@RighteousResolve BTW, it's on YouTube.

[scruffyrunkin]

wu-tang forever!

[XzXLaBeBaXzX]

[marykmartinez]

[rosairenemedina]

I love this song, I am not exaggerating by saying that for the last week I play this song at least 10 times a day. Now that I realized that my ex-lover was not meant for me, which I will miss dearly for a long time...I know I will but anything happens for a reason. Saludos desde el Valle Imperial and YES! OLDIES FOREVER!

[Isi61566]

Yes everything happens for a reason. Some people are in your life for a reasons some for a season and some for a life time only time will tell. This song makes me feel at peace.

[halwil03]

if this is the person i think it is then your right, it wasn't meant to be, but that won' t stop me loving you until i meet someone new, smarter, better

[ThaMadRapper]

Song's like this remind me of long summer night's with my Tio's on the front porch of my Grandma's house in East Los baby. There's nothing like being 10 years old, sneaking beers from under your Tio's nose with Oldie's playing in the back round lol...

OLDIES RULE FOREVER...

[oldiesfan52]

Produced, I believe, by Motown's "Prince of Soul", Marvin Gaye. Beautiful!

[acdeucee]

OOh sing it sing it!!!!!!!

[GRINFAS674831]

thiz is tight ass jam just seen them in san jo last friday

[bkwiley]

Beautiful ballad, the Motown machine rolling.

I was only a kid back then. Reading other peoples comments, 1970 I was in elementary school, but I remember this song, becasue I was singing this song it all the time.

[ldonhawk]

Additionally, as The Originals were backup singers to Marvin Gaye (and others) on the Motown label, Marvin returned the favor in this song. He is doo-wopping and "bop"ping in the background.  Sensational!!

[HaliB75]

@ldonhawk Marvin is also dubbed on the main verses and the bridge. It's basically a duet!

[MusicEd1]

@ldonhawk Wow  that 's a cool fact. I never knew that. Makes this track even more special. Love it! Peace. :)

[scraplocc]

this is a firme ass song brings back alot of memories to bad we all have to grow up
