I am a baby boomer,and i just think to myself look what i would have missed if i was born in the 80s or 90s and i thank God i was born in 1952,i've seen and heard the best.thank you for posting this classic,God Bless.
Damn thaz wuuuz up true oldies ! Chooow ... Wut happnd to the times n the raza ! Keepin it old skoo ! Makes me wanna fall in luv .... Pero chale ! Good timez ...
Delphonics r the shit especially the dude with the squeaky voice i dont know his name but hes a bad mutherfuker! Check out didnt i blow ur mind the live version when these guys were younger hes bad he gets down!
@dixelatino: Yes indeed....that was a sweet time to be alive. I think this Hip Hop crap has played a major role in how the disrespect grew. Due to gangsta rap it has become hip to be rude,obnoxious and loud and to act tough. We need to go back to the days when brothas greeted each other as brothas and men show women respect and women carry themselves like ladies. No more loud manly acting females and weak acting men. Some things from the past we need to hold onto. I agree with your comment 100%.
What a beatiful song & I imagine that my parents must have slow danced to this @ a basement party or 2 back then. This era of music most likely help my parents conceive me. Thanks for the post, I fell in love w/ this song when I was 16 & had my 1st taste of young love!!!
What a gift from God it was to grow up in a time with music like this. To be young and discovering love for the first time, to music like this, is something I look forward to when I do my life review on judgement day. The Lord HAS to look on beautiful music like this, and our feelings toward it, as His gift to those of us who love and remember this music.
WHAT MADE ME LOVE THUS SONG WAS WHEN I HEARD SILK SING IT,THEN I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY RECORDED BY THE DELLS SO I WAS PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO HEAR NEW THEN OLD AND THEY BOTH SOUND GREAT.......... CLASSIC, CUZ I CANT SAY FOR MYSELF THAT I BEEN GOOD, BUT OH YOUR GONNA LOVE ME....LOL
when I met my husband in 1968,the delfonics was my favorite group,and when he would come over, I would be playing the delfonic music.He is dead now and I always think of him when I hear anything by delfonics.such good memories.!!!!
I was a young whip back then Delfonics where , Delfonics was and still is the Bomb . What you listening to is what we call rapping to a babe. They are rapping on this cut back in those days girls use straighting combs in their hair grease they had real tits and shit . Remember when if you just a got a feel of the ass you almost came . I mean the ass was so soft it was like you stole something you got all nervous after you got the feel and shit.And that curfew was a mother fucker to hated that sh
A classic cut, album cut no less, of proto philly soul. Many of my rocker friends think this stuff is boring... I tell them to find a girl, learn to slow dance, put on this song then COME BACK to me and tell how boring romantic soul is. These songs had a purpose, to get young men and women together on the dance floor, hip to hip and cheek to cheek.

what can i say 1969 delphonics they were the man the men whatever i was 11 my mothers friend giving a party in dc i was doing you know the dj it wasaround Christmas and everybody was happy and i remember her daughter doing my hair and the smell of fried chicken and a happiness that these could never get listening to some of the crap today at their mother's party with this music
Can someone PLEASE make this type of music?!! OMG, this is music not this crap these "non-singing" thugs are making now days!! It is so SAD!! So glad I was a teen and young adult when these guys and good music was popular. Slow dancing at the "basement parties, and quarter parties!!" Bring back this music...somebody please!!!
@vincee10134: I am from Newark,NJ and this group was huge in the area and every brotha including me was so busy trying to blow this tune to the girl we had our eye on. The ladies back in those days really appreciated the effort we brothas would put into impressing them. Now and days the females act like dudes and dudes act like the females...who knew? ROFL...sorry yall i had to get that off my chest. Where did we go wrong with the youngsters? Now we got songs calling females bitches and hoes.
@DaOrigTruthSeeker , fellas addressed each other as Brothers and the ladies where Sisters .the good old days .RESPECT one another was important unlike today.
It is so sad that this song is not on the definitive collection displayed here. How could they leave this off?! Anyway, thanks for posting it. If one can't GTD after this, there is no hope for you. BIGPOPPI
Besides the great singing by the Delfonics, the drummer did a superb job on this ballad. Why don't we have good drummers on today's "R&B" tunes instead of that obnoxiously innocuous artificial handclap for a beat!? Can someone answer that for me!?
The Delphonics are one of the greatest vocal groups of all time. While some groups of the 70's were just stumbling upon arrangements by chance, these guys were painstakingly and masterfully blending sophisticated harmonies and intricate orchestrations together to make music on par with the classics of classical music. The Stylistics, the Delphonics, Blue Magic and music producer Thom Bell are all manufacturers and architects of this classy sophisticated soul.
When I listen to these songs from the 70's like this one and others from the Delphonics, The Sylistics, Blue Magic and others, I think to myself, "Who were the women who inspired these lyrics and these songs?" Oh my lord, it's unreal! It takes a lot to make a man take to pen and paper in this way.These chicks were definitely off the scale.

I know some people think that a remake can never be better than the original. I disagree as I have heard many remade songs that surpass the original. With that being said, R & B group Silk did a remake of this song that not only does the original justice, but surpasses it in my opinion!!!
@LuvMyAngelz: I am sorry your husband did that to you....but don't be so quick to throw away your marriage. Talk to him and see what happened and why he went there. I am sure he is sorry and regrets it....please if you believe in GOD pray before you make a hasty decision.

June,8,2011 We celebrated the life of my beautiful wife Darlene Jackson. 39yrs of really true love.. to our son Darryl Jackson : May god forever grant us peace in this life to continue on with strength and hope. My love for Darlene is of gods love, my heart has been sent to heaven along with the love of my life on this date. For the love that your mommy and I shared is of heavenly.. I held her in arms for 39 with the truest of love that only comes from the lord.. Love 4'Ever~n~Ever my son.. Dad
My first born was conceived off of this jam and it still sounds just as good to me today as it did back in 1970!! It is definitely one of the greatest songs of all time!
HEAVENLY FALSETTO MR HART, ANGEL CHOIRES, FULL EMOTION, THANKS FOR REMINDING ME OF OLD TIMES, DANCING TIGHT, WHEN I USED TO LIVE IN NYC, CHEERS TO EVERYONE FROM BUENOS AIRES!!!!! THANKS DELFONICS FOR SO MANY HARD ONS!!!
songs like this only came in the time it was suppose to come alone so the youne breed can appreciate what they have by the musicwe had then. treasure it.
stop calling good song that have great meaning oldie just said a great in the days please young people stop down older people remember willy lynch we still living it peacepittmanwalter69@yahoo.con
stop calling good song that have great meaning oldie just said a great in the days please young people stop down older people remember willy lynch we still living it peace
Where all the real brothas at? Where all the real sistas at? We have got to come back together yall.....we are being divided by outside forces. We used to love each other...ask yourself what happened to us? Brothas treat the sistas like ladies and sistas carry yourselves like ladies and STOP acting so manly. Brothas talk properly in the presence of ladies and sistas wear respectful clothes and leave something to the brothas imaginations. We gotta do this yall before it's too late.
why is it that every time i find great old songs, there are old people knocking todays music? your parents probably thought the same thing about the delfonics...
I used to hang out on Shepherd ave, Bklyn NY. we had some basement parties, where we charged, a quarter to get in and a nickel for water, and after this record played, we made alot of the money. Water was dripping from people. This is one of the greatest slow jams of alltime. I loved slow dancing(grinding) off this. Especially, when you had the right guy. FANTASTIC.
Love old school... music had messages back then... we didn't glorify guns, disrespect to women, love of money or , disrespect authority like songs do today, we sang about love, what's going on in the world, etc. Does anyone know who sang the song in early 70's titled "Pretty Pretty.? Such a beautiful! song... it went like this... "your face .... just like an angel... that brightens up a cloudy dayyyyy" Pls let me know who song it and whether it's posted on youtube. Thxs
@rpoolebutterfly -you are definitely right. i'm 44 and i have noticed the difference in the music from the 60's through 90's vs. today's bullshit. there are no more slow jams or love songs,messages in the song,passion,soul,love ect.. if you're not singing or rapping about bitches,ho's,your dick,money,cars,bling,guns,drugs,beef ect.. than you're soft,gay, or a ''bitch nigga''. i've heard young thugs today say shit like that. the state of music today is watered down,pre-school,thugged out garbage.
to all who r using this video on a great back in the day group to air differences ...StopIt!!! If u have negative input take it somewhere else the delfonics are a legend in music history foools dont disrespect them u need to come down to the hoods and talk shit they cant be copied or replaced!!
I love this song! The delfonics are such a great group...so excited to see em in 2 weeks!!
If you don't have nothing nice to say about the music, or if your gna talk bad about other ppls comments just save it...you look ridiculous talking shit thinkn you look big & bad cuz no one can see or touch you thru this...
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! dis shit goin make me cry,, it brings back to many memory's. yall don't understand i was raised off of this music.. Oldies for life nd im only 18
I remember seeing them almost every Saturday at the RKO Albey down town Brooklyn across from the Dime Savings Bank and man many babies came out of this song WOW!!! and you couldn't even talk to you girl when they got on stage, she would tell you to shut up and you would or you wouldn't get any that night. Man those where the days.
softtouch55 I couldn't agree more....the game has changed and not for the better. I miss those days. People weren't afraid to get in the game. Now....for the most part there is nothing but pain with very little gain!!! I fell bad for young people. At least I lived and loved. I know what it is like to be treated like a lady!!!!!!!!!
To all the young men out there, if you want a female to really fall in love with you follow this advice: Invite her over to your place, cook her dinner and play this song a few times. DONE DEAL!
Need to bump this in my 87 Cutlass all stock chrome 14 inch rallyes , hurst hood, slow but reliable 307 , get a nice thick chick up in her and play this at a nice level where it blends in and out with my exhaust as I look out of the windshield at the scenes of the ghettos of Chester Pa , North phila and the Bottom Of West Phila Pa . Rest in peace Arnold Goode , Doug, Tash and Cool Larry aka Cool L from the William Penn Projects. REAL NIGGAS LISTEN TO THIS TYPE MUSIC TRUST.
@cimism610 I grew up listening to the Delfonics, The Chi-Lites, The Moments, The What-Nots and all of
the other groups of this era and I am real but NOT a nigga. As a blackman born in NYC I am deeply INSULTED by the fact that your use of this trashy word. You obviously aren't educated enough to call yourself a Blackman or Black-American or even Afro-American. Wake-up and get with the "REAL" world, negative conotations that are used about our people are "WRONG" and feed the sterotype.!!!
@sp4armyguy1 FUCK YOU I have a bachelors degree and I am more in touch than you will ever be. My mom grew up with these cats and partied with them before i was born. I bet your favorite radio personality is rush limbong and you cant get enough of glenn beck dumbass. You keep that receipt you got from selling out and leave me the fuck alone you fuckin hater. You booshi uppity nigger. I said nigga to all but you are a nigger. A stupid one too,
@sp4armyguy1 AWWWWW SHITT HOUSE NIGGER IN THE BUILDING DO not touch his whites only pie and dont say a damn thing about massa. AS I shuts ma mouf wide open . Isa no compare to you. Hey nigger get a life Do Nyc a favor by jumping off the BROOKLYN BRIDGE
@sp4armyguy1 Shut the fuck up again because the Delfonics were from Philadelphia and ran in the streets of West Philadelphia . They were not too proud to frequent the ghettos and common people that supported them. You my friend are a disgrace to your race. Unless you want to go toe to toe with some skinheads as I have you do not know me and you are not a TRUE black man. See niggers like you arethe reason why blacks in africa sold us to the white man in the first place get some pussy bitch
@cimism610 Just for the record, I grew up in the same time period as your parents. You say that your mom
partied with them and I too recall going to the local shows to see them perform. I have lived through the 60's
seen the riots in Harlem and the assinations of JFK, Rev.Dr. Matin L. King and RFK and Malcolm X. You can't hold aburned out 1000 watt bulb to me in this respect. Going by the way that you responded here, I am totally ASHAMED of the fact that you claim to be black.!!!!!
@sp4armyguy1 Hey come on out the back kitchen and come out to the field nigga shacks. See I walk with my brothers and do not think I am better than them I dont sit on no computer worrying about what uncle toms like you do now do I. Your life is over dude your old and stuck in your ways too uncle tom to realize you are not white. You propably did see all the assasinations as a matter of fact the character in the movie panther that sold out is based 100 percent on you. SHAME ON YOU
@sp4armyguy1 Also lets focus on the word nigger. It can meen love as I do my niggas. it means carpenter and final it is in the dictionary to label dumb motherfuckers like you. Nigger - an ignorant person. In todays street culture the word nigger and nigga mean many things. In essence when I call a friend a nigga he is being considered to be a thorough person who builds from the little that he has and is also able to articulate it to the world in a flashy flamboyant way. PS Stop Hatin
This phenomenal and sensual song sounds as good now as it did when I first heard it during my high school days nearly 40 years ago. I miss the good music, as well as the positive messages of those songs. You can write a book about that wonderful decade of the 1970s.
For those of you who might have a hard time expressing yourself or just saying you're sorry or just want to tell that special person you Love them. Just put on some of this magic or reach back into your bag of 1960's ,70's,80's and it will surely work.Don't forget Barry White , Marvin Gaye, and others believe me with the right song you'll be fine. Take it from a sister,and this is for us sisters too.

born and raised in sw philly in the 60's and 70's grew up listening, skating, and dancing to these homeboys. Out of all their hits and all the other great music I have heard till now in my life, this is the song that has forever attached itself to my heart. Thankx Delfonics!
I am a baby boomer,and i just think to myself look what i would have missed if i was born in the 80s or 90s and i thank God i was born in 1952,i've seen and heard the best.thank you for posting this classic,God Bless.

William was so smooth, also Wilbert was Awesome, and of course Randy was bad. Delfonics had a very unique sound that can't be matched.
Delfonics forever

Not that "pre-fab, cookie cutter, carbon copy, assembly line B.S." on the radio.
Real instruments, played by real musicians, songs sung by real vocalists.

Where all the real brothas at? Where all the real sistas at? We have got to come back together yall.....we are being divided by outside forces. We used to love each other...ask yourself what happened to us? Brothas treat the sistas like ladies and sistas carry yourselves like ladies and STOP acting so manly. Brothas talk properly in the presence of ladies and sistas wear respectful clothes and leave something to the brothas imaginations. We gotta do this yall before it's too late.

I used to hang out on Shepherd ave, Bklyn NY. we had some basement parties, where we charged, a quarter to get in and a nickel for water, and after this record played, we made alot of the money. Water was dripping from people. This is one of the greatest slow jams of alltime. I loved slow dancing(grinding) off this. Especially, when you had the right guy. FANTASTIC.

Love old school... music had messages back then... we didn't glorify guns, disrespect to women, love of money or , disrespect authority like songs do today, we sang about love, what's going on in the world, etc. Does anyone know who sang the song in early 70's titled "Pretty Pretty.? Such a beautiful! song... it went like this... "your face .... just like an angel... that brightens up a cloudy dayyyyy" Pls let me know who song it and whether it's posted on youtube. Thxs

@rpoolebutterfly -you are definitely right. i'm 44 and i have noticed the difference in the music from the 60's through 90's vs. today's bullshit. there are no more slow jams or love songs,messages in the song,passion,soul,love ect.. if you're not singing or rapping about bitches,ho's,your dick,money,cars,bling,guns,drugs,beef ect.. than you're soft,gay, or a ''bitch nigga''. i've heard young thugs today say shit like that. the state of music today is watered down,pre-school,thugged out garbage.

Rest in peace Arnold Goode , Doug, Tash and Cool Larry aka Cool L from the William Penn Projects. REAL NIGGAS LISTEN TO THIS TYPE MUSIC TRUST.

@cimism610 I grew up listening to the Delfonics, The Chi-Lites, The Moments, The What-Nots and all of
the other groups of this era and I am real but NOT a nigga. As a blackman born in NYC I am deeply INSULTED by the fact that your use of this trashy word. You obviously aren't educated enough to call yourself a Blackman or Black-American or even Afro-American. Wake-up and get with the "REAL" world, negative conotations that are used about our people are "WRONG" and feed the sterotype.!!!

@sp4armyguy1 FUCK YOU I have a bachelors degree and I am more in touch than you will ever be. My mom grew up with these cats and partied with them before i was born. I bet your favorite radio personality is rush limbong and you cant get enough of glenn beck dumbass. You keep that receipt you got from selling out and leave me the fuck alone you fuckin hater. You booshi uppity nigger. I said nigga to all but you are a nigger. A stupid one too,
cimism610 1 year ago
@cimism610 You are obviously book smart and street stupid. Just because you have a degree does NOT
make you intelligent. You obviously majored in ignorance. If you grew up in the 60's like many of us did, you
would've understood that "ANY" use of the word nigga or nigger is a negative conotation. Sadly the money
that was used to send you to college to "get a education" was WASTED.

cimism610 1 year ago
@sp4armyguy1 Shut the fuck up again because the Delfonics were from Philadelphia and ran in the streets of West Philadelphia . They were not too proud to frequent the ghettos and common people that supported them. You my friend are a disgrace to your race. Unless you want to go toe to toe with some skinheads as I have you do not know me and you are not a TRUE black man. See niggers like you arethe reason why blacks in africa sold us to the white man in the first place get some pussy bitch
cimism610 1 year ago
@cimism610 Just for the record, I grew up in the same time period as your parents. You say that your mom
partied with them and I too recall going to the local shows to see them perform. I have lived through the 60's
seen the riots in Harlem and the assinations of JFK, Rev.Dr. Matin L. King and RFK and Malcolm X. You can't hold aburned out 1000 watt bulb to me in this respect. Going by the way that you responded here, I am totally ASHAMED of the fact that you claim to be black.!!!!!

@sp4armyguy1 Hey come on out the back kitchen and come out to the field nigga shacks.

Your life is over dude your old and stuck in your ways too uncle tom to realize you are not white. You propably did see all the assasinations as a matter of fact the character in the movie panther that sold out is based 100 percent on you. SHAME ON YOU
cimism610 1 year ago
@sp4armyguy1 Also lets focus on the word nigger. It can meen love as I do my niggas. it means carpenter and final it is in the dictionary to label dumb motherfuckers like you. Nigger - an ignorant person. In todays street culture the word nigger and nigga mean many things. In essence when I call a friend a nigga he is being considered to be a thorough person who builds from the little that he has and is also able to articulate it to the world in a flashy flamboyant way. PS Stop Hatin

For those of you who might have a hard time expressing yourself or just saying you're sorry or just want to tell that special person you Love them. Just put on some of this magic or reach back into your bag of 1960's ,70's,80's and it will surely work.Don't forget Barry White , Marvin Gaye, and others believe me with the right song you'll be fine. Take it from a sister,and this is for us sisters too.
