  • I WAS 17 WHEN THIS CUT CAME OUT.... WOW! THOSE WERE SOME BEAUTIFUL DAYS....THE MUSIC AND THE WAY THESE CATS WERE SINGING SAYS JUST HOW BEAUTIFUL THE DAYS WERE..... CHECK OUT TODAYS MUSIC AND YOU'LL SEE JUST HOW FAR WE ARE FROM THIS..............

  • Listenting to this in NYC where I grew up.....This is how u saaang.....TO all the beatiful women around the world......Don't know what happened to romancing and speaking to women respectfully.....but this is where its at....Thanks Manhattans.....

  • @rdrake460 This song have New York City all over it :)

  • Damn! Those boys were so good!!

  • I like how they incorporated the acoustic guitar in to an R&B song. That’s not something that was often done. 

  • loved it then... love it now... love it always!

  • Aí sim, não desprezava os minutos da música para aplicar uns chavecos.

  • Aí sim, eu chamava a garota para dançar e não jogava os minutos da música para jogar um chaveco.

  • i dont know much about this kind of music,but i love it

  • Just amazing,the feeling of the song is ecstatic.You can't hate listening..it has a devine tonation embeded in love.Simply infinite.

  • @DaOrigTruthSeeker Underneath all the Evil (Purpurtrated onto them by "others in the know") dones, there lies human hearts that fel LOVE, Music is a Medicine, a Powerful Drug, it can heal, and re-abilitate! MUSIC and LOVE!

  • @DaOrigTruthSeeker My daughter is 20. When was in the fourth grade she singing Natural High by Bloodstone, her teacher was shocked. My daughter told him thats the music my mommy grandma and grandpa listen. To this day she will break out in song. Last week was Gladys night. If radio station would put more of the classics on I think the kids would be a lot less violent.

  • @DaOrigTruthSeeker that's real cool. I used to put my son to sleep with the old school music up until he was 5. When he went away to college he took it all with him and played in his dorm and those kids loved it. My son is now 28 and does the same thing for his son.

  • me and my lil brother was just singing some classic old songs and I just had to come here to listen to it live.

  • Good music never dies. Highschool students in the year 2090 will be dancing to this song at their prom. . . If we get that far.

  • doesnt get better than this!!

  • Thanks for posting this. This was the song that was playing on the radio the first time we kissed 32 years ago! We got married just a few months later and this was OUR song and still is today.

  • Yep spreading the love is exactly what the world need right now! I remember seeing them live in the 70's & soo many slow dances at parties to their music.It does bring out the best in most. Thanks for trying to make life a little better in jail officer. Just because someone made a bad choice (maybe when they were young) providing it's not murder,, doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed a moment of happiness & hope

  • @DaOrigTruthSeeker: I never met you but i can tell when i have run across someone special. You probably will never fully know the difference you are making in those inmates lives. I know that prison guards are not susposed to care on a personal level, but obviously you do. I hope all the good you've put out there into the universe comes back to you many times over.

  • "The Manhattans" thank you for this wonderful music

  • This music resonated in my soul as a child and still today...back in a day when people thought backwards and were full of prejudice...me... a small child couldn't see through their eyes...couldn't understand why i would get yelled at and made fun of for listening to the most beautiful music i ever know ..even still today...Motown was one of the greatest labels then and forever...Thank you for the music that reached a child's soul and lasted a lifetime. Think as one...be as one!!

  • This is the shyt! I was young, but I was into the music, and still am today!!! A true classic!!!

  • hey bunnii... toma!!!

  • @DaOrigTruthSeeker: GOD Bless you for caring about other people like that and especially in that situation where i bet there isn't too much to smile about. Who knows....maybe your kindness might change a few of them. You never know just how far your kindness will reach sombody else. Keep up the good work officer.

  • I am a corrections officer in the state prison and on my housing unit....when my 110 inmates are acting right i will sometimes surprise them and give a old school concert for them. You should see how they cheer up and get happy and the entire mood on the unit changes. I have mostly people from the 60s 70s era locked down on my unit. I got permission from the warden to do this when they act right. They love it and appreciate it too....i've seen some of them tear up when they hear this music.

  • @DaOrigTruthSeeker thats some real ish right there need more c.o.'s like you

  • @DaOrigTruthSeeker That is a wonderful thing that your doing for them individuals & your absolutely right Old School will change the feelings of everyone even if your having one of the worse days in your life this music gives you peace of mind & let's you remember all the good times you had in your lifetime i know when i hear this type of music it makes me think of all the good times i have had in my life ... They don't make music like this anymore.....

  • @DaOrigTruthSeeker Thats just awesom, keep doing the right thing for them. This music always calm's me down also, thats why I'm listening to it right now. This Special Lady, Try Again, Shake you Down, I wanna get next to you and so on.

    God keep you safe.

  • @DaOrigTruthSeeker That is SO wonderful of you to give the gift of music to your inmates!! You're a special person for doing that. God Bless you, many times over. . .

  • @DaOrigTruthSeeker thats wussup

  • @DaOrigTruthSeeker THATS AWESOME!!!

  • @DaOrigTruthSeeker good for you!

  • @DaOrigTruthSeeker  good job bro

  • @DaOrigTruthSeeker That's so cool! I am a high school teacher at an alternate high school for at-risk teens and I use music to get them to do their work...mostly as a treat but sometimes I throw on a "concert" to motivate them...music is POWERFUL...Peace to you brother!

  • @DaOrigTruthSeeker Music hath charm to soothe the savage beast....

  • @DaOrigTruthSeeker What an excellent understanding you have of the power of music. Haha, I worry to wonder how often all 110 inmates are acting right. But it is a kindness you do. I'm really glad you thought of it, and I'm happy it gives them some comfort.

  • @DaOrigTruthSeeker First Bless you. My son is incarcerated and the guards are angry and spiteful. The world needs more like you. And you have great taste in music.

  • @DaOrigTruthSeeker we need more like ya! Praise God & may He Bless U immensely.

  • @DaOrigTruthSeeker

    Wow! that's amazing. That's awesome that you are able to do that. I know those people are grateful for that little pick me up. I know how much music means to me, and I can only IMAGINE what it means to them in that situation. Thank you for taking that time for them. :D

  • awe . nice

  • Gerald Austin and the manhattans awsome music of the 80's love it...

  • If Jesus Christ himself came down and gave us world peace, and someone posted a video of it on YouTube, some idiots would click the "dislike" button - purely out of spite. I simply don't understand that mindset.

    How could anyone - anywhere NOT like this? It's fantastic.

  • @BBCater red necks dont like this.....

    @BanNDay gracias for posted this classic.

  • @BBCater, I feel the dislike button is too close to the volume button and people accidently press dislike. I've accidently disliked some of my most favorite songs. Yeah, 'cause there is NO WAY anybody could dislike this song on purpose. If they do, must be the devil himself.
