Facts… and the new generations are ducked because they dnt even know the roots to music nomore ..

That's Because God Only Made One-Tom Bell-William Hart-Norman Harris

​@@e.rico_s2k34 Some of us are paying attention. You might be surprised.

Agree

Great tune great times

Amazing vocal range of the lowest lows to the highest highs without breaking a sweat. I don't know what his octave range was but suspect if was off the charts and rarely matched by any other singers. You're absolutely right though that without him there are no Delfonics plain and simple. A great loss.

And MR. Randy Cain...!!!!

Their songs will stay with me til the day I die

Right on statement! So true, so true!

yes it is.💯💛🕊️🕯️🌹🌹🌹

Sheeran or this? mmpphhhhahaha, come on.

Now that's a true fact.

OMG Yaass!!! I was Black Ivory’s number one fan back in the day!!!

Dang no temptations ?

What about Blue Magic.??🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

Agree

Agree

Yes to all of this and us musicians love to hear real winds, strings, and percussion in music! That's the main reason why I love pre-1980 music (I enjoy Bruno Mars use of real instruments as well.)

​@@nicklh186, Thanks for giving Bruno his props !!

Me to kit kat lol

Music royalty real talk!

Sandra Jones it’s easy to do when you hear real music and my momma played all the classics like this while I was growing up

Such a full, generous sound. Pure essence of natural vibrations. And these aging baby boomers still have that special quality. Thank you.

This old head is digging the memories. All good.

Sandra Jones I should’ve had my old ass out there I’m only 53 but I was jamming to this when I was 15

William is and was always the only lead singer of the Delfonics. He was never replaced. That other group, the "Delphonics" was formed by his brother, Wilbert. Then there is that fake group... Grrrr. And of course to the left is Randy Cain, the original before Major Harris joined.

Thank you.💕💕💕💕

Thomas Randolph Bell (orchestrator, composer, conductor, arranger, songwriter, and founding co-architect of The Philadelphia Sound) aka the Maestro of Symphonic Soul) unbelievable genius!!!

Eles são vivos? Se forem,poderiam fazer uma regravaçao com New kids. A versão deles também é maravilhosa.

I TRULY LOVE THE VIOLINS AS WELL AS THE OTHER INSTRUMENTS - I AM ALMOST 60 AND THIS TAKES ME BACK!!! LOVE SEEING THE OLDER PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO I CAN IDENTIFY WITH!!!!

Thank you.💕💕💕💕

I hope you mean on the record, that's not Earl Young on the drums in this video. Plus, Earl always played, his snare drum, with the drum stick reversed, so the big part hit the snare not the tip. The original recording was one of the rare ones with the full orchestra recorded together in Sigma (North), and the studio was small, so they had to turn the strings down, which was rare in a Thom Bell arrangement because it was leaking into the drum mikes. None of the original instrument players you see on here played on the original song. Wilbert Hart is missing here, was one of the original Delfonics. During the recordings Tommy Bell and Phil Hurtt sang in the background voices. You can hear his voice, if you know it. Maybe Bunny Sigler too. Earl I heard broke a lot of drum heads with that backward stick and ticked Joe Tarsia the engineer off.

@@riorich Thanks for letting me know.👌🏾👌🏾

@@carolturner3840 As of today. Almost all the originals musicians on this recording have passed except for Earl Young, To see what Earl Young looks like, just search "Earl Young Drummer", on here, or just go to the Trammps videos, where he sang bass, and didn't play the drums when they were live.

What happened

@@sijadenedd6337 they had a big fight over royalties, went to court and William somehow won and didn’t split or give his brother any of the money.

I was just thinking the same , these guys don’t sound the same ,the one on the right really jacked his part up.lol

Oh dear. Definitely not the same…harmonies not there especially with the high pitched voice 🙉
