This is certainly music...nothing today will ever touch it...this music will live on and on forever..I have the greatest memories, everyone got along and danced no matter what color or race we all looked out for each other. and the music OMG! The best I wish we can turn back the hads of time..but we can't so I will always cherish the great memories of the music and my friends from back in the day! Thank G-d for UTUBE.. Those were the days my friends..Peace...
I was a youngster when this music was playing.. as a early veteran of Rap in the 70's, more specifically 1975 in NYC, these cats were my inspiration, I learned to write poetry and songs from listening to their's and other like them. This music was the heart and soul of the black generation thru the late 1960's and 1970's...
I was 12 when this song came out & the answer to your question is YES!!! This music was OUR music. This is what we grew up on & what we loved. Of course once Rap came along & the record companies began catering to that crowd, the game changed. Honestly, it's natural that future generations wanted music that was their own. The generation before this one didn't have a lot of nice things to say about 70s Soul & one rock critic actually called 70s Soul the worst music ever.
ANYTHING produced by Thom Bell or Gamble & Huff from the old school was PERFECT music ! the garbage that the current music execs call "music" & tries to force down my generations throat, via radio is HORRIBLE ! my generation DESERVES good music like this instead bullshit like lil wayne, "lady" gaga or skanky-ass beyonce & her pimp "jay z". todays artists ( EVEN THE ONES WHO SAMPLE) are totally CLUELESS what REAL music is & this song by the Spinners is an example of what REAL music truly is
Yeah! how I long for the days of double-knit polyester! Not! the music was great, but putting on the clothes was like wearing your own sauna.You were fully steamed when you got to your date's house. thank God for cotton!
R & B at it's finest. Music of this era is so well written it just oozes life. Although we were dealing with the Viet-Nam war, racial strife and other issues we had Philly International, Thom Bell and others to return us to these sweet memories. Meet me in the lounge car of the Soul Train. Drinks on me. Party on Brothers!
it's the girl wearing white with the red pants dancing with the dude wearing the gray suit nearest to the stage.... .they are definitely the coolest among the dancers.....i could watch them all the time without a blink..
wow what happend to soul music like this. now we have eminem, 50 cent, and nothing but profanity in this crappy junk they call rap. brilliant song writers like thom bell, norm whitfield, were geniuses
Music psyched itself out and feared it had nowhere else to go. It could have if it remembered to try. Inspiration is the key. Lok at the guys here; Pervis, Bobby, Philippe-awesome!
Yopu got that right! Good music and not like the garbage that is played today. Nice clothes. Not ones that have their pants hanging off their butt and no shirts that reveal a little too much and the then there was the natural look.
There will never be an era in music like this EVER - it was brief, it was amazing, and the talent was everywhere - just very grateful to have lived it - CLASSIC STUFF!
Up here in Canada it was all about listening to this music while driving wide open prairie highways. This was our music and memories too. Much appreciated.
Soon as i hear this music I think of my dad.I was little as hell in the back seat of the Caddy or Buick,whatever he was drivin' that year. Camden N.J. was poppin' when i was little. We were right across from Philly it was so soulful back then.I miss those days.What you know about playing basketball on a milk crate nailed to a telephone pole,cuttoffs and tank tops,pro-keds,afro's no shape up,BLACK PRIDE everywhere and alot of POLYESTER....LOL
Same here. This reminds me of growing up in pjs in the 70s. Everybody was looking out for everybody and there was respect for our elders and community. Sadly, those days may not come again. Thanks for the memories, Phillipe, Bobbie, Pervis, Henry and the other guy whose name escapes me at the moment. lol.
you're so right. why do they lip sync though? i know it's cuz of the producers of this show. today everyone hates on jessica simpson for lip syncing. everyone did it back then. i wonder why people weren't hating back then.
Because their was no doubt they could sing. It was easier from a production stand point for them to lip sync since this wasn't a live broadcast. It was all taped and strung together in post.
Why the concern over lip synching? Just about everyone lip synched on ST. What it boils down to is that when asked to perform these fellas could without the help of technology.
This brings back many childhood memories. The extended family lived on all floors of a multifamily home so the grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins were always together. My grandmother's southern cooking filling the house, playing tag with my cousins in the yard, my too cool uncles and older cousins looking like Rolo from Sanford & Son, lol. Happy times & good memories with an excellent soundtrack including the Spinners.
Cant remember the last time i heard the phrase 'Falling in love' in a song. As much as i love my rap music, we have come to a point where a man can't leave the house without making sure his pimp hand is strong! We need more romance people.
YESS this true, I remeber that I lived in Queens clearing the yard and I kiss my first girl friend with an open mouth and thought I was in LOVE and was hurt when I found out she when bowling with another cat, so silly back then but that life and learning iisland
@sekouche WOW~!.. would love to hear more about your post..(0;)~ Did she ever apologize to you , did she ever know you knew what you heard about the other cat?
Hahahahaha that was 40 years ago, naw she lied about it, I had to represent her son in court, talk about life, she a single parent now and had a bout with crack, I expected much more but she broke my heart the way her life turn out. But with my family I still pull out the old stuff and play "Could I Be falling In Love" at the BBQs
Naw the only thing that you have to feel sorry about is the fact I eat like its BBQ every "DAMN" day and now am going to AA meetings about BBQ and catfish and macrorni with a lot of extra sharp cheese and Eggnog and rootbeer. Now let let me tell you thats a struggle trust me.......so the Sppiners are still in my car so when I have long drive am grooving with a corn-dog feel me NOW.....
now it just couldn't get any better than that.....you get to have a taste again of what life was back then...and if the 70's wasn't the best decade of the 20th century....you tell me or i'll be a monkey's ass...
I've been addicted to the Philly sound since '95, and these guys just carry it. Phillippe's vamps were the best, too. The last 90 seconds of "Mighty Love" is insane.
I lived in Beaumont Texas when this song came out I was in the 2nd grade..(8 yrs old)...but had to move because my mother remarried.. This song was popular then, sound GREAT now!... Thanks for posting it! :D
Hey tell me something do you know Easy on Calder (I think) and do you know Broussared links and Ribs over on I think 11th and is Whiskey River still near Hollywood. I had stayed at Super 8. DAMN its a small world
See kids, there was a time when men sang about loving and respecting their women. What has happened to the state of music and talent in the last 20 years or so, I'll never understand. The popular music of the time is a real reflection of many people's mindset at that time, and that makes today pretty frightening. Thank goodness we have 60s & 70s music. to remember a real time of true talent, creativity, and originality.
im young and dont go to clubs either.guys back then were sweet and would'nt harm you.innocent like.dudes now days have lost all respect for women i hate too say it but its the truth.its like all you is too them is a bitch and hoe !!and a sex object to them that shit!! turns me off .
people were''nt trying to be hard and like everybody else it seem like everbody was just being themselve's not trying to empress other people doing their own thing
by the way i wis people can still dance lie this i hate seeing people dancing bouncing there ass all up on a guy duck and a guy hodlin there waste and shyt u mind as well fuck ugh! people disgust me now a days this is why i dont go to clubs or nothing cuz all gus do is go there and get some ass action in dancing smh
LMAO damn has soultrain changed now soultrain all the girls look like sluts how they dress and dance smh this is a better soul train everyone having fun civilized dancing!
Real music, Real times, I also have a 20yr old son that adores the music I grew up on which confirms to me that my generation were very blessed indeed!
Um HOLD UP first of all honey People have always danced sexually even funk and dirtdancing so let's not bring that up music just got more graphic so it seems more sexually but plzzzzzzzz!!!! I'll. Agree the music got bad
im now 30 and when to this song it reminds of i was a teenager and would be on the phone with my girl until we both fell asleep. why can't we stay young forever! i would give up 4 years of my life to go back in the day
Very nice dedication CimpleSypher. I think of the people I've lost too when I hear certain songs. This songs brings back lots of childhood memories for me in 1973.
this music makes me smile and want to go back to the old days. it makes me wish on those when i was 17 i would have stayed an extra hour at the park, with the girl of my dreams.
As a young composer / arranger in the early 70s, I "schooled" on Thom Bell and Linda Creed songs; and absolutely loved The Spinners. They were great in every way.
This song fills me with unspeakable joy. And it has since I was 10yrs old and that was 37yrs ago. Much love, peace, and soul to all YouTube Music Listeners everywhere!
Could it be I'm Falling in love with you, with you,I don't need all those things,
cause honey you will always be the only one for me,cause i am in love with you Each night I pray, heaven made you special for me,Old school best ,Smile & Peace
To think that acts like N'sinc and the Backstreet boys were formed on the same template as bands like these and the Four Tops, the only difference being that those current boy bands are white and not even 1% as talented as the Spinners and other soul acts.
this is my cousin i never met him but my father talk highly of him i wish i knew more about him the one in the glasses can someone give me an idea of were to start please leave me a message
this is certainly one of the soundtrack of our lives....this kind of music made us what we are today.....

are two of the most underrated singers of
the last 40 years.
I've had the honor of seeing Bobby & Henry live in 78,79 & 08.

Very nice dedication CimpleSypher. I think of the people I've lost too when I hear certain songs. This songs brings back lots of childhood memories for me in 1973.

It's interesting to hear that most of the background was really sung by females although the Spinners are the face of the group

As a young composer / arranger in the early 70s, I "schooled" on Thom Bell and Linda Creed songs; and absolutely loved The Spinners. They were great in every way.

you can tell the lead singer isn't into lip-synching. look at his face

To think that acts like N'sinc and the Backstreet boys were formed on the same template as bands like these and the Four Tops, the only difference being that those current boy bands are white and not even 1% as talented as the Spinners and other soul acts.
