AGREEEEEEEEED



[SongsMikelikes]

I love the multicultural audience.....The sign of a great song......Everyone is getting into the song....White and Black are really feeling this.....Good Stuff I love it.

[SongsMikelikes]

Correct me if I'm wrong but at 3:38 of this song the women in the white dress is the same woman who threw her panties on the stage of the Kings of Comedy show. Anyway.....Great Great Song, they do a great job but nothing like the original.

[cxv111]

There was a radio disc jockey from Chicago who use to start his show by playing this song with excerpts from Dr. King's speech "We Shall Overcome." I sure would like to know how to get a copy of that mix.

[BarryCroucher]

Five minutes and 25 seconds of pure class !

[CoachBmore]

Love This Song!

[kevman77]

I mean they provide chairs and somebody has to stand and block you.

[andrewsaccount09]

John Legend COVERED this song? Both are great, and the original has the jive and soul of the 70s.

[thehedgehope]

Its the soulful sounds like these,that proves there is a GOD up there,just listen to his word,s through MUSIC

take care all.

[aridiasneto]

I am from Brazil and I used to listen harold melvin & blue notes with my friends at University... that is really good music!

[kezzer2]

As stated,right on! Were all on this planet...love each other....cool post,Im crying here.

[metiron77]

the beautiful thing about this wonderful music is that it brings together young and old, black and white..the audience in this clip is the proof of that, simply magnificent! :) it leaves you with a smile on your face after 5:25

[kezzer2]

@metiron77 I hear ya,thats what Is love....are nice people naive? Dont think so....

[loolie2000]

I'm singing this in school. I may get to sing this by myself for a show, because my music teacher thinks my voice is the best in the class. *NERVOUSSS*

[rasta1724]

It doesn't get any better than this!!

[msls24x7]

This song still gives me goose-bumps.

[garrygmc]

Are any of these guys original members? 

[TheMrtimmy28]

@garrygmc ALL ARE ooops I USED TO SEE THEM IN THE APPOLLO THEATER IN nyc and some nights i'd be the only white kid in an 1800 seat theater because i had hoop skillz and played in the rucker league 4 hour shows with huge groups - 2 bucks in 68. i was safe cause i had the hoop skillz everyone respected. 6ft2 51 inch vertical. open a lot of dooors in my life . we used to sing with the band especially "the love i lost" which everyone sang as" the glove i lost" fuck michael jackson thief

[cheebazoe]

None of the original members . The lead singer sounds good though.

[nybigi]

Teddy is truly missed. Such a talent and beautiful man!

Thanks for making the world a better place.

Love you

[bstern10]

This song came out in 1975 and was redone in 2010 and not a dam thing has change. If Egypt can do it. then why the hell can't we. people listen to the words of the song. and lets get cracking

[jasonwheel]

this isn't an original performance and it isn't the same w/o Teddy Pendegrass. but it's such a beautiful song that you have to like i anyway.

[LADYTRIAXLE]

i was at this show i got me 5 sec of fame iam very disappointed that they took teddy pendergrass out of this video when he is a born and raised philly boy and in my opinion he was the best out of all the performers shame on legacy recordings do me a favor take me out of the video dancing up the isle and re-edit it and put teddy bear in the sounds of philadelphia live in concert love train >i do believe you discriminated against him because he was in a wheelchair >shame on you .rip teddy bear

[loobycliff]

@LADYTRIAXLE They should never have done that - put Teddy back!

[azcreativity]

This song should be acclaimed and held as one powerful song we all should live by and act upon -- LIKE, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROBLEMS IN THIS WORLD -- don't complain about it -- DO SOMETHING...'cuz if YOU don't, you're going to be operating in a world created by others and you may not like what you get (or GOT). Take heed for if you want change, be causative and responsible enough to make a change and help out those that are bringing about positive change.

[forumlivii60]

bravissimi!!!

[karrikay58]

can someone tell me why oh why did we allow philly and its members to fizzle out i grew up on this music and i am soooo grateful for you tube and the people who upload these vids for letting me relive the happiest times of my life wish i could turn back the clock 35 yrs or so my god i love this music i hope it lives on forever and ever

[hollidayevery]

I'm so glad there is someone around that can still sing this song like this!! Great job!!...Thanks for the post...

[iwannafite]

This is good. I aint mad @ John Legend and Melanie Fiona though

[teenawil]

@iwannafite ... I am they sound like HOT GARBAGE!!!

[couzinric999]

@teenawil some people are just on some hate shit all the time



[lovethediscogirls]

Great sound and message by this talented group...Unfortunately, as long as there are just TWO humans on Earth, there will always be conflict and sorrow. Just read the story of Cain and Able.You try to live a good life and there is a knucklehead just down the road wanting to take it away from you. I still love this group and their music of the 70's. You have to be strong to survive. Great era for music....great sounds.LOL..........

[dinocoolcoolmartin]

philly sound as it's best

[DerZelote]

God bless Teddy, but Big Daddy also does is fantastic!

[Frankiethegift]

It starts with all of us! right here, right now.

[SongsMikelikes]

Sooo Goood

[nichtsdamitzutun]

Let us all bring some love to the world. To our families, our friends, our colleagues, to the people we meet in our daily lives. It's by giving our friendship and helping our children and those in need that we can make this world a better place.

[MsLilmika]

@nichtsdamitzutun amen to that

[deehouse55]

None That's How It's DONE!!!

[karrikay58]

[ZuluMuntu]

[Aboutjohn747]

I was lucky to see them perform in 1974 in a small club in Weshester N.Y.At that time they gave their all,and they this song will live for ever. They were well dressed came to club changed their clothes did the show and left.

[kezzer2]

Shit...this made me teary eyed...great song,fantastic live performance!! Good find,thankyou.

[Jota21Chile]

[Mrkissuallover12]

Well written, awesome stuff. Great lyrics!  Totally 70's! We need some songs like this now to calm the haters down just a little. The songs used to be about making a difference. We could all learn a lesson.

[angelheart7]

U talk about lyrics, Omgosh!

[kirikou972pac]

[MJHS1967]

[kezzer2]

[Disputesfordubz]

they are great, but without Teddy....just not the same....great song. Love Teddy, rest in peace!

[fernandez1330]

Farewell Teddy ... I will miss you .. your music will forever and forever in the memory of all your fans

[funkbebe]

RIP teddy. to young to die but you will live in our hearts forever, especially with this very relevant song that's a sharp retort to "let it be".

[TheSBH19]

This is a great tribute to Teddy

[IsleyTribute]

This guy sounds a lot like Teddy on many songs they do. I enjoy hearing him lead. I miss Teddy, though.

[intojazznyc]

You guys on crack,what a dis to Teddy Pendergrass! No one puts the emotion and class like TP,a fan since 7 years old.

[BLUENOTE4LIFE]

sucjer you must e on crack

[Msredhoney720]

You know what?!?! They sound Damn GOOD!!! I know its not the same without Teddy but they really sound good though, and they had their dance moves down pat!! I really enjoyed this! Excellent performance!!!

[allmansgirl]

Not the same without Teddy...HE was the voice of this song !

[student38]

This song brought me to tears...

Rick Dog-Ceasefire Chicago South West

[magicspidercat]

before punk i loved a lot of songs and this is one of my faves....

[DiePawliks]

Das war mit Teddy schon extrem geil und ist mit diesem Sänger, der auch sehr geil ist, immernoch extraklasse!

[52Cheve]

missin' Teddy here - BIG time!

[shedds1]

its to bad teddy and curtis mayfield both had a tragic accident which changed their lives for ever both being confined to wheel chairs had so much more to offer life has a funny way of changing good peoples lifes to be soo different than they have planned

[XOLOTLdaTOLTEK]

Only Teddy could rock this one, but I give it to them for still having it.

[7777Lotus]

wenn man bedenkt wie alt das Lied ist,aber RICHTIG erwacht sind wir immer noch nicht!!!

[kzblondjudy]

FANTASTIC!!!!!

[secretgardenfashion]

FORA DO MEU CANAL AGORA LEGACY!

[KENZOWAL]

I love this unadulterated version of this powerful, right-on song, becuase it tells the dope dealers to stop selling dope, and asks the dope users to stop using. That was in the original version, before it got watered down for the election. It is also poignant about making our parents (and grandparents) happy beore they pass away. My schoolteacher wife and I saw them last Saturday in California and they were spot-on. They were wonderful. We need more groups like this to save our nation.

[mattmiskie]

@KENZOWAL Amen. I boutght the single when it first came out back in 1975. We need more groups and songwriters like this now more than ever. its time to WAKE UP.

[bchoates]

That's what I call good music.

[fernandez1330]

maravilloso recuerdo, del legendario grupo de harold melvin, thank you so much for memories congratulations

[WealthLetter]

Oh....Yeah...This is the Good Stuff

[tommylee3579]

[burque19]

Heard this song tonight while watching "Akeelah and the Bee" with my 5 year old daughter.....it had been years since I heard it & certainly not since the miracle of her existence and the profound perspective that has afforded mine....it would seem we are on the threshold of a change that may actually realize the promise implicit in these words......thanks for posting it....

[Singlemom624]

LOVE THAT SONG. It was a very powerful message back then and and an even more powerful message for TODAY!
