Black men have the deepest, most manly voices on the planet!!! Black women have the most beautiful, melodic singing voices on the planet... combined vocally, make beautiful MAGIC!!🎶🤴🏿🎙👸🏿🎶

The 19 dislikes must've missed The 'A' Train

The 1940's.... great music, clothes and cars...pure class!👍👏😊❤️🇺🇸

This song is old as 1941 far as I know but I love it. Much better music than today's music.

best version of the song imo

I ‘m from Mexico🇲🇽 i just discovered this beauty of video!... I came 1st hypnotized by this handsome manly, elegant, sharp, man! His movements and his voice omg!, and the voices of the other singers the dresses of the girls so gorgeous all them, so cute the dancer girls, what happened with all that beauty on males and girls? All them looked so good, we need to bring back that taste, elegance, all that glamour and pride on the looks... I love the fashion of 30s,40s & 50s... it was funny/silly the rolling of the eyes on the girls, I guess it was the way to do it on those years, perhaps was to show a lot of joy... beautiful.

Yes! I can feel the steam connecting rods and drivers smoothly moving on that train. It has got to Roll and this version does. This is a Wonderful soft version of the Duke Ellington Classic.❤ So many copies are not capturing the spirit.

LYRICS: You must take the "A"-Train To go to sugar hill way up in Harlem If you miss the "A"-Train You'll find you missed the quickest way to Harlem Hurry - get on now it's coming Listen - to these rails a-humming - All board get on the "A"-Train Soon You will be on sugar hill in Harlem You take your baby to Harlem You're bound to find a hole Up on Sugar Hill Where everyone's having a solid ball You board that "A" train and then You ride till you dig this number One forty five street where all the cats meet Posing on stroll, bopsters really in there Bararurap baradurure That's the riff that the bands all play It's groovy the hepcats say Then you know that you're in Harlem You got to get off that "A" train And you will have a thrill, yeah If you're looking for rhythm You'll find it on Sugar Hill Now that you know just how to get up Just dig up a nickel and you've got your fare If you want to go to happy Harlem You take the "A" train that goes uptown and ride ride ride Wait until you get on Sugar Hill You jump for joy till you get your fill Have you got your nickel in your hand? Then hurry don't you miss that train, oh man You must take the "A" train To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem Better hurry get aboard the train

A hello from France, I love this music. when I'm a little sad, I put this piece on, and like a medicine, it's much better! Thank you for sharing ! - Un petit coucou de France, j'adore cette musique. quand je suis un peu triste, je me mets ce morceau, et comme un médicament, ça va beaucoup mieux ! merci pour ce partage ! -

I have no clue why this video makes me so unreasonably happy

One of my favorite songs of all time, I can't stop coming back to this song!

These guy are great. Love their version of Undecided too.

Those harmonies are amazing, aren't they?

good music transcends time. feel me

Thursday is the new Friday 🥦

Damn I'm digging the slangs in this song dynamite ain't it.

I'mmmm gonna take an airplaaaane, cauuuuse I don't really live that close to Harlemmmm...

they sound ssooo good, damn. Do we still got folks that do this style nowadays?

I discovered this song from a fallout fan film revelations. Best discovery I ever found on KZfaq.

This song got stuck in my head today and i started singing in public confusing ppl around me!

I love this group. I always heard these were the directions Duke Ellington gave Billy Strayhorn.

The big guy wrote the song. He sang with the group for over 50 years.

This is so great! The guys' wonderful smiles and voices: a complete knockout. It's heaven!

I love watching this video. Fantastic tune, wonderful and super singers !

Best version I've very heard!

Good Lord!! Now that was some great sangin'!!!

Love this great old song and this particular version. It was one of my beloved dad's favourites and he would sing it at family get-togethers. Brings back great memories.

If someone would add the talent of the top100 artists since 1990 it would easily being outranked by this classic group itself.

They are real smooth

How i feel like all the signers from this era sounded just amazing 😂 i havent rly heard a bad old school singer yet

Imagine the real impression on people at the time! Incredible,amazing, no words! BRAVO, an incredible MASTERPIECE in 35 millimeters by black singers! How terrific new age arriving! BRAVO! Emmanuel

They sure can sing!!!!

"I've never been north of Ninety-Sixth Street!" "Well, you must take the A Train Even farther than Harlem to northern Manhattan and maintain Get off at 181st, and take the escalator I hope you're writing this down, I'm gonna test ya later"

talent at it's best unlike todays so called talents.

Made my day! Best wishes from Amsterdam.

Impossible to watch without smiling ..thx for posting..

Impeccable vocal blend! The Delta Rhythm Boys were absolute masters of the group harmony idiom.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I'm 61 years old and God bless y'all soul I remember this music listen to my grandmother and my grandfather that looked just like you and I'm 61 years old and you are never going to die as long as I'm alive

This song gets me out of bed, slowly discarding my sorrow

sooooo lovely

Wonderful song sung by a truly unique & talented vocal group. Amazing sounds & so,so good!

Such a splendid song for nice cuppa coffee in da mornin', no cigarette fo' sure. I'm so proud of my ancestors!

Those suits and that swagger. Too cool.

Fabulous ! I love this so much 😍

One of the smoothest songs of all time sung by some hep cats. REAL MUSIC 🚂🗽🎷❤️

This was musicianship of the highest order, and fun too.

I love Harlem & I love how fast the A is. Stayed on 142nd last year. Hopefully 123rd this year.

Man I've had this stuck in my head all day, but I don't want to listen to it too much and ruin it for myself either.

salad bowls are popular in sugar hill up in harlem.

This is some smooth shit

This was real music, it makes my heart feel joyful especially nowadays, I miss those beautiful days

The background voices are doing what the horns would do just great what a group,

Wonderful!! what kind of harmony and voices....:)

That's what they should show on the history channels! Thanks so much for the splendid upload!

Wow Did They Have All The Pretty Gals 😍😍😍😍😍 lol

The Pullman Porters Forever! We owe you everything!

Best version

Beautiful music, great counterpoint and harmonies.

I love this song ❤

Once again, great harmony never-ever- goes out of style.

Who would dislike this?

This tune is so charming.

Every time I'm sending back I'm having a drink I'll look at all the men and the talent that was overlooked and I'm 61 years old I'm quite sure they passed on to Glory but I want y'all to know I'm 61 years old and I'm here and I saw getting off the A train and I was born and raised in Chicago but I look at all my old videos and I love y'all and they stole your music because you was black and every time I pull a drink up I love your style yeah I was sexy and handsome and my grandfather God bless his soul you should dress just like y'all amen today train Deborah Williams Pittsburgh Pennsylvania

He lookslike such a good guy!!

Priceless treasure

The chords in this bring years to my eyes. What happened to harmonies like this?

Born and raised Harlem, NY W112str between St.Nick 🔥 💪 🎯 💪 🔥

I like this Girls behind the Scene. 💃💃💃💃💃

A Pittsburgh born composer wrote the music for the song, Billy Strayhorn. Duke Ellington gave it the title when Billy was unsure about what to name the melody he had in his mind when he went to meet Mr. Ellington in New York when he was hired for the job as composer/ arranger. The Duke said "Look at the top of the page for the directions I gave you to get to my place: Take The A Train." The A Train, along with the rest of the Independent Subway System, opened for business on September 10, 1932. The IND is currently 88 years old is part of the New York City Transit Authority. In 1968, The NYCTA became part of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

wow beautiful the god ole days

Love this so much. I'm glad I found this!

If you don't enjoy this music you probably have no soul

You must take the "A" train to go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem If you miss the "A" train You'll find you missed the quickest way to Harlem Hurry, get on, now it's coming Listen to those rails a-thrumming All aboard, get on the "A" train Soon you will be on Sugar Hill in Harlem You take your baby to Harlem - you're bound to find a hall Up on Sugar Hill - where everyone's having a solid ball You'll board that "A" Train, and then you ride 'til you dig this number: 145 Street where all the cats meet - more than on a stroll. Pops, they're really in there. (scat) That's the riff that the bands all play It's groovy the hep-cats say; then you'll know that you're in Harlem You got to get on that "A" Train, and you will get uphill If you're lookin' for rhythm, you'll find it on Sugar Hill. Now that you know just how to get up there Dig up a nickel and you got your fare If you want to go to happy Harlem You take the "A" Train that goes uptown And ride, ride, ride Wait until you get on Sugar Hill You'll jump for joy 'til you get your fill Have you got your nickel in your hand? Then hurry, don't you miss that train- oh man! You must take the "A" Train To go to Sugar Hill way up in Harlem Better hurry - get aboard that train!

Nobody today sounds like this.

Terrific sound and entertainment.....

THIS is America

Going to NYC Wednesday 😅😅. Wish I had a time machine to see it then.

love Duke but these gentlemen did well!

this my jam

a frenzy of going suddenly to Lenox Ave is owning me!

Anyone, please give me the lyrics of this magnificent version of Take the A train. I am japanese and just fell in love with this lovely video and playing it all day through. But I can't hear what they are really saying... This version is not on Karaoke. But I deadly want to sing this song with them. Please!

Even farther than Harlem to northern Manhattan and maintain Get off at 181st, and take the escalator I hope you're writing this down, I'm gonna test ya later

At 1:27 the woman on the left is clapping on beats 1 and 3, rather than the traditional 2 and 4. She glances to the woman next to her (who is clapping correctly) but still doesn't get it right. This is hysterical! (well, you might have to be a musician to get it.)

Duke Ellington gave Billy Strayhorn directions to Harlem. Wrote a song about it.

I really love this stuff

Nickle! Those were the days.

i love this music
