  • Harold Melvin & The Blunotes featuring Theadore Pendergass on lead vocal.CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • This version, (the original) is by far the best version, superior to all groups, and artist who have attempted to re-do it.

  • 14 people wil never know...

  • Songs like this make me wish I could go back and try to do it right or maybe a little better...so sad...I didn't know me

  • @elvisj2056 You can't go back E. Everybody has regrets. There's a reason your windsheild is bigger than your rearview window. Look forward, not back. Get it right next time. Enjoy your life!

  • Comment removed

  • Why are you all so anonymous (all these nicknames), are you afraid of being discovered you thing the same way the song tells about ?

  • and this song, for me, is the test... if we're together and love it equally I know it all works between us... it has never failed me yet... and I'm older than the song...

  • you may have missed spending the rest of your life with your soul mate... I hope not.. for your sake..

  • this one of the best songs, i still listen to it with my fiance

  • Glad I was a witness to this history!

  • big 2012 jp

  • I'm 21in I told my ex to listen to this.n she didn't understand me.

  • @dimar711 Don't expect her to, that's why she's your ex.

  • To my ex that got married and still calls my every week.. who's sorry now

  • Perfect.

  • This reminds me of my ex gf, we were so close but yet so far

  • I love dis song

  • my darling wife of 40 years still tells me i don't know how to stick it in right :(

  • @ReedemingOak Whoa! TMI, but a funny one. I'm sorry to hear this. They have plenty of pictures and videos called PORN. It usually teaches you how to do it right! :D ;)

  • Patrick Stump sent me here, I have no idea what this stuff is but it's pretty good.

  • This song is among the greatest!!!

  • what morons hit the dislike button? must be some 10 year olds on their daddys accounts

  • 7people don't know the good music by now xD

  • @YoDeyshoor lmaooooooooo

  • unbelievably beautiful song.

  • In a 3.4 minute song, it says all it needs to say for us all. If this is not the greatest love song for those who have been together and have any doubts, this is it. Man, what a song. The guy or girl who wrote this was so right on, it's just unreal. I LOVE this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

  • It's a shame that women expects us men to understand them but, when it come to them fulfilling our needs and understanding how we are, they are not on our frequency. It's a shame to be with a woman for any reasonable length of time and she still doesn't know my favorite past time activities.

  • @directorofmusc :) in my case its the other way around

  • >simply red

  • That's the jam!

  • wow a lot of soul in this song!

  • 7 Justin Beber fans don't know good music!! How could you dislike this???

  • @MD1936 Now its 12 Justin Bieber / Souja Boy loving fags who clicked dislike. I AM SHAKING MY HEAD AT YOU DISLIKING LOSERS!

  • @itsmznatnatbitchez I'm a true belieber and i love this song. stop tryin to come at ppl for liking different things just 'cause they don't like the same things u like -_-

  • @MD1936 I'm a bieber fan and I'm among the many who liked this song. gosh u guys are comical. those 12 ppl have opinions maybe they like the group but not the song. i like Justin beiber and there are tons of songs of his that i hate and i mean TONS lol. so stop tryin to come at ppl for not liking a freakin song and get over urself rrly >:\

  • @hots4dabieber16 I was over myself 45 years ago---really. We had our time and now you have yours, enjoy it because you get old then you die.

  • @MD1936 lol I was just saying i mean ppl make it seem like ppl who like Justin don't know good music and it's not fair. i like ALLL types of music, some that was out before i, MY PARENTS, were even born. i know music and so do other bieber fans, i swear one dislike and we're always the ones accused of doing it. like rrly? how do you kno it wasn't a fan OF the person in the video :\

  • It may be difficult for a lot of people to say.... Real Music.

  • I bet millions upon millions of couples over the years have used this song on their significant other. After being with somebody for 10-20 years and one day you discover they don't even know your favorite color....lol !

  • @READY4REVELATION Yep. My girl, after 6 year,s still doesn't know I do NOT like bell peppers on my sub. Yet I know to get her steak medium well.

  • @TheTesterOf I hope this is a joke. This is some trivial shit.....

  • @shisnoking Huh? LOL  What is trivial?

  • incredible track

  • Classic music...

  • my god.....what a beautiful song......

  • Damn, Teddy had the voice! AWWW

  • Back when the devil did have us by the neck and secular music had some life and soul in it. Now its all dedicated to the devil. Lord help us all.

  • Oldie but goodie! *)*

  • @7vessel Arent all the goodies oldies??:)

  • OK Simply Red... you guys are good, very good, but how can you top this ???

  • @zzuebe2 Amen! Preach it!

  • Another GREAT PHILLY's Best Groups with an All Time Great Song

  • Man this song is the jam. Gotta love it! :-D

  • Check out Harold Melvin's "Be for real". Teddy is Great and what a message.

  • as a Englishman,and a ex 80,s modile DJ from the NE ENGLAND,nobody cared,where the Music came from,when it,s class like this,then that,s what they want,people will use these sound,s to sum up what,and why they are feeling the way they do,while they are with the one,s that mean the most,at the time.

    FROM UK.

  • this song reminds me of a girl i met on a train. We were both hours from our destination, it was night time and we couldn't sleep. We talked til the sun came up. Describing our likes or dislikes, arguing our favorite movies and music..Laughing.. Even debating on life and love. She was amazing. When the train arrived at her stop we exited holding hands and... Shared a kiss... I was weightless. She asked me to stay, to not get back on that train. Ill never forget her

  • @supastudmuffen So did you get of the friggin train?dont tell me you lost your bottle and stayed on lol

  • @supastudmuffen thats like one of those tv dramas we have to wait till next week for the answer looool "C'MON WHAT WENT ON?????dying to know lol

  • @brianboru62 sadly that was the last time i ever saw

  • @supastudmuffen get on the fucking train, try to find her, you gotta know her name or something, and when you find her look her square in the eyes and say, babe you and me's goin' on a date and that's end of story. :D

  • @supastudmuffen SUCKA 4 LOVE ASS NUCKA

  • @supastudmuffen Maybe you could've gotten her number, Facebook or something.

  • @supastudmuffen, you should write a vignette about that. It would make a beautiful story.

  • @supastudmuffen That was beautiful !

  • @supastudmuffen Beautiful story.

  • @supastudmuffen Oh, shut-up.

  • @supastudmuffen Woww.. beautiful story !

  • @supastudmuffen So did you get back on the train? And if you did, why did you?

  • @itsmznatnatbitchez I got back on the train, but I did get her number and we kept in touch for awhile. It was hard, because we were both starting new and exciting lives. There were talks about meeting up again and picking up where we left off, but it never happened. Eventually the phone calls were fewer and fewer. I haven't talked to her in years, but I'll never forget that night it was amazing and who knows maybe one day we cross paths again AND if so.. I won't be getting back on that 'train'.

  • @supastudmuffen That story damned near brought tears to my eyes. But let me tell you something.. I had a moment like that with a man who I thought to be the greatest. We had a romantic connection (no sex) he swept me off my feet. Later to find out that he has a wife. For 3 years we were on and off. I loved him truly. Thought he was the one. Now I am emotionally scarred. So sometimes getting on the train is not a bad move. But I'm sorry to hear your story. Maybe 1 day u'll c her again!

  • @supastudmuffen What happened to her?

  • soulful indeed.....

  • And who was Melvin?  Teddy Pendergrass.

  • I love Philly artist them raspy voices to real

  • love tko 

  • wow...the memories..hell, I was a young, fluffy tenderoni...AND knew the difference between right and wrong ♫..if you don't know meeeeee ♪

  • who the hell is Simply Red?

  • @mlcoolk1 an english group that remade this song. it went to number 1 in 1989. their version was ok but it cant mess with the original. even mick hucknall the lead singer of simply red has said this.

  • this is perfection.

  • Sing it Teddy. There is only one man with that magnificent voice that can melt that hearts of women across the world. The heart and soul of the Blue Notes, oh and Melvin.

  • An all time classic RnB jam with real meaning for a Man's SOUL!

  • love this.....

  • Really great song :)

  • classic!!!

  • A really sweet sad song!

  • So GREAT

    

  • i just love this best song ever......

  • I'm playing this right now infront of my girl and she is holding my hand like she's trying to tell me this song is from me to her and I'm the the one who is showing it to her! lol We both love this song either way so I guess it's ok :-)

  • @confidant112 Awww so sweet :)

  • 5 people meant to click Simply Red... little kids psh

  • there are 5 assholes in the room

  • oh.. soooo greeaaaaatttt......

  • reminds me of so much teenage stuff in the 70's.. love it

  • i have loving this since the first grade

  • Is there anything better than early '70's R&B? Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, Barry White , Al Green, the O'Jays, The Spinners? The best!

  • harold melvin is amazing and they did this song well... simply red also have a nice rendition of this song...:) i love them both..

  • @alliyah78 ... That's Teddy Pendergrass on the Lead Vocals Harold Melvin was rarely the lead vocalist, he just was the one who organized the group. Simply Red's is nice but he has nothing on Teddy P.

  • @MrPZ yes bro thanks for that.. i agree.. :)

  • One of the Greatest Songs ever written from the "soul"!

  • hey my names harold and im asian no joke

  • Where has all the beautiful music gone? Don't need that RAP to make me feel good! We have allowed the punks of this world to try and destroy the most beautiful music written. I don't think so. Most on the Internet would say I'm wrong, but I could care less. Ever been to a dance at the Faison wharehouse? Those where the good times!

  • soul man soul brown eyed stop by to show some love and plenty of blue eyed covered this all good everytime

  • I used to hold my girlfriend so tight to this song, nothing would tear us apart as we gazed into each others eyes under the moonlit skies on a clear summer night...now I am a chronic overweight masturbater living in my moms basement, this tune sure brings back memories!!

  • @FatherVinyard88  well i hope you still have her.

  • @MrKingkarts - ...only in my heart and memories brother...

  • im 14 and this is one of my favorite songs :)

  • this is the real deal.....no one can touch this version.........

  • this is a love song, that will allway's liovw on, and on.I can still remember mary scott, from my Jr, high, love is so real when your young, with an open heart, and a clean spirit, that can guide to a happy home. like the one i left behind, i love all the love;s in my life, who didn;t really know me, cause i didn;t know my self." powerful love"

  • I want this played at my funeral.

  • @mollysangelique whAT LANGUAGE IS THIS, IT LOOKS SERIOUS.

  • Cheesy?? Yes, as a hard core "disbeliever", I would agree with you.Sometimes, however, we just have to go with it .I hope you find the song that moves your heart.This one resonates for me..

  • Yes, it was a great song with many meanings.

  • 4 people will never never never know good music when they hear it

  • Love this song to death but it just amazes me how as we go thorough things in our lives that a song can take on so many new meanings & memories...for me this used to be a song about love lost but when my grandfather passed away it turned into a song about not only love lost but love never known and much regret for never getting to know him....so take the time to spend with loves ones near and far because if you dont take the time to know them you never will get the chance to when they are gone.

  • how can anyone dislike this-seriously? I do not get it?

  • aww this song makes me cry alot wen i hear it bec it makes me think every hard about the paasssss tears

  • Dear GOD the top comments in these videos are always painfully cheesy...Great music otherwise.

  • If you dont know me by know now........ ahhhhh this song is just a classic

  • stand back, Simply Red - This is the REAL THING!!!

  • @blueinfinite hey c'mon now, Can't we just appreciate that they're both good.

  • @SW4TR3PP1N okay

  • @blueinfinite I appreciate both versions as they both can blow! This is some good stuff!

  • @blueinfinite the originals are always best. love this song

  • @blueinfinite I don't think Simply Red did a bad job with this song, but the original will always be the best.

  • @xyPERSON No, Red version wasn't bad - i guess certain songs are associated with one artist or group. Like John Lennon's "Imagine." It's been done by others fairly well, but there's only one "real" version. Or Marvin Gaye's, "What's Goin' On?" After Gaye's voice and instrumentation, any later version, no matter how good, just doesn't reach the same level. In my view. Others may differ, which is cool.

  • This is one of those songs that I didn't particularly care for when it was first released back in 1972, but I've come to love over the years. It brings back such great memories!

  • @9615Chiefs My first child, and son, was born in this year, but his mother decided "she did not really know me", still see him, and enjoy my time with him, a true classic record.

  • Unsurpassed! 

  • this be baby making music people, mmmmmm!

  • i love this song :)

  • Teddy Pendergrass always holds it down. David Brent as well.

  • takes me way back in time..love it...

  • Only have one word when I hear songs like this......"SWEET".

  • three people were youtubing on drugs...

  • stefano made me like this song more...

  • @Gorgeous7169 agreed! Stefano sang it pretty good!!!

  • i just drop a huge load all over her when this song was playing!

  • @cazzo53 lmao

    

  • Stefano who take me to this song,!!!

    :)

  • @Gorgeous7169 LOL Me 2

  • stefano who take me to this song :')

    btw great song,,

  • 1981 hammersmith palais brilliant evening

  • saw this group in early 80's in very small club. I sat not 10 feet from them. I will never forget how powerful it was when they sang this song.

  • Love this song!! Makes me feel good.

  • this tha shit old school

    

  • Ben who? You must be kidding. who could possibly be better the Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes with Teddy Pendergrass doing his thing!

  • @XDJustinBieberfan Get the fuck outta here with your Ben Sanders bullcrap. who the fkuc is that loonytoon? better not be a whittey; cause if it is,, you get a Monster Dick in yo ass and a cup of Gooeey milk for you to Swallow.. and fkuc you just for comparing This Originals whit who knows what.. what an idiot, Comparing Original Stuff with Something else.. go to sleep

  • @XDJustinBieberfan Come on, Simply Red did a very nice version but nothing beats the original in this case. Ben is a goos singer but no Pendergrass ;-)

  • Today's music is all synthetic and half the ppl can't even sing without the recording being tweaked. I wish music wa still like this (I'm 12 just so you guys know). What ever happened to real talent and singing with your heart?

  • "I've got mine!" "Woman, you've got yours too!"

    I've actually used this song while in a disagreement with my wife.

  • Comment removed

  • Just LOVE it!

  • i love this song

  • The incomparable Teddy Pendergrass singing. Lady Antebellum sang 2 lines on the Grammys and didn't get right.

  • YES TEDDY SING IT ....AMEN AMEN

  • i love this song! Im a true blue note fan

  • Chills on the skin

    Simply Red also sings this song well ... what emotion that causes :)

  • whoa! I am kinda feeling (oh yeah) while listening this!!!!!

  • truly one of the most soulful songs, with heartfelt words, ever written and better yet perfrormed by Teddy Pendergast

  • baby brother to the legendary 5 Stairsteps, I have to agree, music is not what is was... you can hear what I do on myspace . com / lenburke hope ya enjoy some of it.

  • They sing, they harmonize, their words have real meaning. Beautiful. How did music ever descend to the sewage it is today? Ahhh, to have good music again.

  • @peachykeen838 I don't think I could have phrased it any better!

  • RIP Bernie...

  • @blueinfinite are you stupid?!?! seriously, NOBODY CAN OR HAS sang this song better than Teddy.....

  • @shawtyreddbabi wel i think that milli vanilli did a pretty good version of this song
