I am so blessed to have been a kid in the 70's with 43 older brothers and sisters who listened to this music. Happy memories of childhood. I am 46 or so now, have never been married (was with my sons father for 20 years though) but if I ever do get married I want this song played at the reception.
I thought my husband was the only one with turntables and 45's former DJ from the old day lol but he got all the new stuff too lol you know you can take all that old stuff and put it on your computer its neat your old turntable and your 45's get hooked up with this little box (I forget what is called) to the computer and then you can burn them on cd (hes saving the 45's there gonna be collectibles lol) but thanks for the music
ohhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!the philadelphia sound of the early 70's. i'd just moved to Lambeth , Ontario in '70. What great artists...nearly as amazing as the Motown sound. the soundtrack of my pre-teen years, and yes, makes me think of Jackie Brown as well. Great soundtrack to a great movie.
it feels so good to great old songs like this. it reminds me of when i was a kid sitting there with my little rechord player playing songs like this. thanks for posting
This is how recorded music SHOULD sound. Not some digitally re-mastered crap through some expensive equipment. It should sound raw and with all the clicks in place and played on a 1960's Dansette record player! Oh yes!
GOD BLESS YOU FOR THIS SONG AND THIS VIDEO!!!!!! EXACTLY THE WAY MUSIC WAS INTENDED. THE GOD BLESSED "45". OHHHH, THE SOUND OF THE NEEDLE HITTING THE SINGLE! I SOOOO MISS THAT SOUND! VINYL FOREVER!!!
LOVE THIS ...Miss listening to WABC (AM Radio) growing up as a kid in Harlem ! What's up to Cousin Brucie & them from back in the day ...I agree - the "crackling" & "pops" also adds fond memories (per "generation booms" comments).
the delfonics were so good! i was in college when this first came out.i got to grow up with all the the great soul groups and singers starting in the 50's. there are some great voices out there today-i just wish the songs they are writing and singing were better, and i know they can do it-look at r kelly, and some other young ones doing songs more like the older soul songs. i'm not critical of their voices-they're great-the songs now just do not showcase their great voices! thanks for posting!
But what language is this guys...Come on! Picking on flesh back in the day - brought forward so wake up. Blowing your mind is something much more meaningful.
0:19 - 0:38 - "Hey babes, this is MusicRadio 77, WA...BC. It's now 25 past the hour and we have clear skies but a bitter cold temperature later tonight. But fear not, Big Apple, 'cause we got three, three, triple three cats from Philly to warm ya up. The brand-new single from The Defonics - Didn't I...on 77 WABC New York".
I am from Phoenix, AZ and we used to cruise south centrel and flirt with ll the cute chavalos with the nice lowriders and tricked out stepsides. great times!
I've always loved this song. I think it's one of the most beautiful songs ever. There was so much great soul music in the '60s and '70s, just like pop and rock then. I just figured the music would always be great. Didn't know it would become a lost art. Thank God for youtube.
Lump in throat, tear in the eye I was only 7 when this made its debut but boy oh boy they don't make 'em like this anymore do they .....? This makes me want to listen to all those songs I grew up with Four Tops, Stylistics, The O'Jays etc .... remember? I feel so grown up now, it was so long ago - where does all the time go?
This is just one of the most beautiful songs we'll eva hear. There's just nothin like the sound of the old school... from the immaculate vocals of the artists, the instrumental arrangements, the content of the music... just pure, unadulterated musicianship. And everytime the chorus of this song hits, it's of the most melodic beauty on the planet.
Just a great, great love song! Brings me back to the day when my HS sweetheart and I (she's now my wife) dated and danced to this and songs like it. It's a great piece from an era of great music! I miss the days of riding around in our '67 Nova SS hot rod, drinking beer, partying in a good way, and just being kids. God Bless The Delfonics and thank you for such great music!! :)
Remember when i was a child i heard this song, it stopped me in my tracks, first time i can remember listening to a song all the way through and learning the words..thhanks for sharing.
playing the album means this person paid for it and has the right to play it this way for us to enjoy, no copyright infringements. hah, fuck you warner brothers
Jamming…. Brining Back To Me What Else Is Important In Life…. Been So Caught Up In The Mind Set Of Today’s Success I Almost Forgot The Importance Of What’s Right In Front Of You.. Classic Oldies… Brings Out The Son Of Soul In Your Boy...
what a fucking beautiful tune..i'm glad i'm a musician to appreciate this amazing tune ! today's r n b stinks to high heaven..but this ...this is real r n b soul music !!
@blica1 THE THING WITH RNB THESE DAYS IS MOST OF THE YOUTH OF TODAY DO NOT HAVE A CLUE WHAT RNB STANDS FOR! THERE IS LITTLE OR NO APRECIATION FOR THE SOUND IT CAME FROM!!!
@generationboom I hate it I keep thinking I'm somehow back in the late 70's and I freak out. One of my worst nightmares is somehow being sent back in time with no way home and having people think I'm insane for telling them about the future.
@generationboom hey, check out the channel of 'oldwah': that cat has tons of old reggae records presented just like this film. been digging him or her fer years
@generationboom That is so true!! That's also music to my ears.I STILL play my 45s.That turntable cost a small fortune and i had to brave my moyther's attic to find my 45s,but it sure was worth it!!!
Original Philly Groove label, but the sleeve is from late 60s/early 70s. Those are the colors Bell used just before the changeover to Arista -- black "bell & record" logo w/black border on red. The last Bell label was logo/rainbow arc in black ink on gray, and DJ copies were red on white.
