    Thanks, Brotha D, for sharing this masterpiece by The Royalettes. Lead singer Sheila Ross creates a sad, but wonderful musical experience of longing for the lover who's gone away. The great composer, Teddy Randazzo, wrote this for Little Anthony and the Imperials, but that group turned the song down due to contract disputes. They later regretted losing this R&B classic. Later artists covered this song with loving care, notably Deniece Williams and Laura Nyro.
    Many of your viewers, like me, agree that the joy and spirit of R&B has been lost in today's musical universe. We will always listen to the great songs of the past because they always travel straight to our hearts and souls.

Their many great hits include "Hurt So Bad", "I'm on the Outside (Looking In)", "Tears on my Pillow", and "Goin' Out of my Head".

    Hey Brotha D, omgosh that's like the $50,000 dollar question ha! I used to ask that same question, what happened to R&B? I am just as frustrated and perplexed, if not more so than you are. I miss that Philly soul and good ol' soul-stirring R&B from back in the day. However, I credit Bruno Mars and Silk Sonic for trying to bring that magic back, they're probably the only group that can actually get me to listen and enjoy their music. But I think good R&B died a slow and agonizing death in the late 90s to mid 2000s, especially when atuotune came about, along with other techy gadgets like cell phones, and text messaging. Artists just started phoning it in so tp speak, and we pretty much lost the art of old fashioned communication, which is so important to the writing and delivery of a good R&B song, imho.

    • @Dabridge4009
      @Dabridge4009  Месяц назад +1

      Sissy you ain't never lie! I'm trying to figure out when it died...is it after Keisha Cole and Chris Brown and them....I don't know....Bruno is cool....there is an artist they told me about named October London. ..they said he sounds like Marvin Gaye....Im going to check him out. But there are no more groups no more soul singing....The writers don't write about love and romance nothing to touch you....it's the same with hip-hop, there is so much trash it's unbelievable.....And it just feels like it's never coming back! We will always have to go back to get that feeling.....But you're 1000% right r&b died a slow death....

      Bruno Mars and Silksonic was a pleasant throwback, absolutely. They exposed a new generation to more traditional R&B. But, that was just a blip. Don't get me started on autotune. Today, though, autotune is taking a back seat to pitch correction. It's more subtle. Everything, EVERYTHING today seems to be pitch corrected. Even Celine Dion's performance at the Olympics wasn't live, and it was pitch corrected! That, alone sucks the humanity out of the performance to make it 'perfect'.

    Every musical genre has undergone change, and will continue to do so. For example, there IS no more 'Rock" music, really. At least, it's not dominant like it was in the 70's. R&B has morphed from it's Gospel, blues-based roots. Blame it on Hip-Hop, New Jack, Rap. It's edgier, more political and the lyrics no longer 'lay it between the lines'. Today, it's 'in your face'. Younger people love these things and, as you know, younger folks drive all the trends. They're always after the next new thing and they don't really care (usually) about what came before. They love things that push the envelope. You see that with the mainstreaming of artists like Meg Thee Stallion now performing at presidential rallies. Hip Hop has virtually taken over every genre. You hear it's influences in all kinds of music, even country. If you listen to a Contemporary Hit Radio (Top 40) station today, there is not nearly as much variety in musical styles as there once was. Most 'hits' are some form of Hip-Hop with the occasional 'other' thrown in. As an older guy, I have the advantage of perspective. But, if you're younger, you only know what you know and that's all you really care about. One of the most difficult things to accept for an older person is change. The music we love is no longer relevant. It happens. My dad's favorite music was the Big Band era, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Mills Brothers, etc. When rock and roll and r&b reared it's head in the 1950's, he had much the same reaction to change as we do today. And, so it goes....

No doubt, in another 40 or 50 years, someone will bemoan the fact that "this new music sucks compared to Doja Cat, Drake and Cardi B"! (lol) I can't imagine that happening, but it probably will.
