What record label recorded the "Soul Children"? I thought it was Stax Records in Memphis but I can't confirm that. I remember hearing this song alot on WDAI, so I naturally thought Stax released it.
damn theres 3 dick head mutha fuckas that don't like this song what the fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how could not like this unless your sum dumb azz rap luver and just don't understand
The heavenly voices have long gone, I don't know what happened to BLACK SOUL, gee so sad, we had that if nothing else. Today it sounds like feeding time at the zoo, and stage
@groove2move222 black soul music is alive and well in the black church....still organic and still sweet, no body does it more soulful than Gods children
...r.i.p....j. blackfoot...[died last week] ...member of the soul children....'sweeter he is' ...the first tune i looked for on youtube....and found it....my 45 record was cracked.....such a cool tune....so many memories...
Shelbra Dean One of the singers is my 1st cousin so this music is in my blood! They are from Memphis my home town and baby when I say high rollers they knew how to party!! This is REAL soul music!! Thanks for posting this song! Very good quality!!!
@nanaeva1 Do you know if Norman West and Anita Lewis are still living I heard about J. today. what a great group, for some reason Move On Over, When Tomorrow Comes, I'll Understand never is heard on radio. But this Jam is great. saw them in DC in 1969 so i go back with this group one of my all time favorite groups out of Memphis
I really, really like this song! I believe this is the first time that I have heard of this group! Very nice, smooth, and soulful! I see that this group was called "The Soul Children" but there voices were very mature for their age! I LOOVE this song! REAL singing with REAL music! LOOVE IT!!!!
The way she almost moans this note out at 1:00 really takes me in a serious state of agonizing nostalgia.But only in a desire to relive the past when true memories were being made from this kind of singing.
yeah and what would Oprah and Gail sy ___uck them yea cause yes the sweeter in that dept and the longer the pain is an understatement but i do miss the late 60's and early 70's then ya had disco and oh no now look what we got oh god no
mmmmmhuuummm -- real harmonizing designating this as a real soul song.here Remember as a young teen how much I liked this. This is great music never to be replicated and it is extremely definitive of an unforgettable music genre and era.
this song is off the hook,for those two who didnt like it.ya momma and daddy liked that wack crap back in the day,this is B.E,T,not elvis lolololol
DOES ANYONE KNOW THE SONG THEY CAME OUT.IT WAS A XMAS SONG
NOT SURE WHAT IT WAS,BUT MY PARENTS PLAYED IT BACK IN THE DAY,,,
IT SOUNDED JUST LIKE THE SWEETER HE IS,IT WAS OFF THE CHAIN,HOLLA AT ME,,,,BLKKBLADE@VERIZON.NET,IF YOU EVER COME ACROSS IT ON THE NET,,,,,,YA GOT TO HEAR IT YALL,THE SONG IS OFF THE CHAIN LIKE THIS SONG HERE
This is one of the best groups, there singing is just beautiful.I use to play this back in the day. I will make sure my grandchildren get to hear this. I have it on a LP I hope I can find it on a cd. This is what soul is all about. Thank you dallaschitown for posting this I hope more young and old get to hear this.
Does anybody remember the names of the people in this group and what happened to them? Some of the vocalists sound like the ones in the group New Birth ... particularly the male singer.
Does anybody have "(all the shine)" I would love to hear it. Had the album but lost them all over the years. I don't anybody can make slow dancing music sound so church
music. music..sweet music.. it's a shame these girls and guys back then didn't get the recognition they desrved so peeps just big them up when ever u can.
The sweeter he is-- that first teenage boyfriend made my heart flutter, my knees get weak -- a feeling never to be duplicated with any subsequent paramours.

My Aunty Trina always played this song for me when I was 3 I never forgot the lyrics Im from NY but this Chitown Soul is appreiciated up north nd Im in my early 20's
Let me tell you. This song came out in the summer/fall of 1969 and I remember so well because I had started high school. This song is a classic and one of the best releases from STAX records. The memories of my youth, wow!!!! Love this song.
@JerseyDiva55 I couldn't agree more,JerseyDiva55. The only thing more annoying than remakes of classic tracks like this is the remakes of movies that sucked when i was a kid.
Ike Hayes and David Porter were the bomb...they wrote for the EMOTIONS, Sam and Dave and put the magic touch to the SOUL CHILDREN. MERCY..Thanks for the posting.
oh yes...Stax Records was superior in a lot of levels Motown Records wasn't. Not taking anything away from Motown for they appealed to a wider audience, but Stax/Volt recordings seemed to have more....grit and soul!
I didn,t ask to fall in love with you. Beautiful song, a sample of real music. It sooths my mind. See Tee i told you one day u would be wishing for me. Yes, u did hurt yourself too!
YES... I found this SONG... I love it.... I grew up with my mom and dad playing this all the time... I had it on CD and some lady told me was too young to know about this (and I aint young at 29) but I LOVE it...
GOTTOE-MIGHTY LAWD!!!!! This is my song!!!! wooooo My dad used to play this song. The sweeter he is, the longer the pain is gonna last......oooh yes it will
OH the memories. Love this group. So good to hear parts 1 and 2 together without the break that was on the 45. LOL!! Tthose were the days. Great music.
JJ BLACKFOOT AND THE CREW-THESE SISTERS AND BROTHERS WAS SANGING- THE HOOK IS CRAZY...Cant believe a sample hasnt been blessed by this- if it has i havent heard it
I think that every body parents played this song: this was the jam. I probably was about five when this song came out. I remember my mom went to see the Soul Children in the 70's, at the Coliseum. The instruments, and just singing from the heart.... Those were the days.............
this is a bad azz tune its a shame that my generation do not have singers like this who put thier heart and soul into their music it makes me wanna cry. but i have this music 2 hold on to
This is really harmony at its best. I can remember this song back in 1969 in Rocky Mount, N.C.-Young Men's Progressive Club--Forever & a day to remember how sweet music really was back in the 60s. Simply Awesome
Oh how I miss melodious voices like the Soul Children blending together in soulful harmony. The harmony at 1:04 is to be compared to a good old-fashioned church choir....these cats are matchless!

Yes they were the ones on "Tell Me, What's Happening Baby." Heard the song this past Saturday on an oldies radion show in Atlanta...does anyone have this song available? If not, I will try to find it when I go home to Memphis to see my grandchildren...either at Stax Records or "Boss Ugly Bob's Records."
it can't get better than thisthis is almost better that an orgasm,this music is the shit.some one dug deep in the closet for this one ,just can't get no better than this wow.
I 've just recently come across and mix cd that someone made and this song was on it my daughter is six and she loves it i mean they poured their hearts out on this song
J. Blackfoot is the male lead singer on this one. He also enjoys a solo career. This group has no similarities to Five Stairsteps. This is deep Memphis Soul, ala Ike Hayes. This one is an Isaac composition. Late 60s prior to the Disco Sterilization of Soul Music. 4/4 beats for the mainstream.
Very good comment. Someone said they sound like New Birth. Well, a little. You're so right about the sterilization (or disappearance) of Soul annd R&B from the late 70's and on. Ike was really a master of beautiful ballads. I like that 4/4 beat too.
The Soul Children and The Five Stair Steps sound alike, but we know that they are different. Both groups have nothing but classic and can sang. I love this kind of real music.
I saw them at the Howard Theatre several times,too. Were you there when Joe Simon folloewd them and was getting booed off the stage and people kept screeming, "Bring Back the Soul Children!!!!"?
we listen to these oldies but goodies and my little niece is only 15 and she sing the hell out of this song and i was wondering how on earth does she know what this song is about..i mean she nails this song with feeling and everything..lolll

Yes they were the ones on "Tell Me, What's Happening Baby." Heard the song this past Saturday on an oldies radion show in Atlanta...does anyone have this song available? If not, I will try to find it when I go home to Memphis to see my grandchildren...either at Stax Records or "Boss Ugly Bob's Records."

I remember this one from Philly's WDAS-FM (thank you, Butterball!). It's also tailor-made for cruising, East.L.A. style. Bravo!

J. Blackfoot is the male lead singer on this one. He also enjoys a solo career. This group has no similarities to Five Stairsteps. This is deep Memphis Soul, ala Ike Hayes. This one is an Isaac composition. Late 60s prior to the Disco Sterilization of Soul Music. 4/4 beats for the mainstream.

Very good comment. Someone said they sound like New Birth. Well, a little. You're so right about the sterilization (or disappearance) of Soul annd R&B from the late 70's and on. Ike was really a master of beautiful ballads. I like that 4/4 beat too.

The Soul Children and The Five Stair Steps sound alike, but we know that they are different. Both groups have nothing but classic and can sang. I love this kind of real music.

I saw them at the Howard Theatre several times,too. Were you there when Joe Simon folloewd them and was getting booed off the stage and people kept screeming, "Bring Back the Soul Children!!!!"?

I think the Isley bros sang about 'the blacker the berry,the sweeter the juice.'
I truly believe these country folk know a thing or two about the oral tradition.

I'm 34, but I love this group. The gospel sound and the lyrics just take me over the top. This song is the truth.
