60s70s music was outstanding, creative lyrics strong vocals that’s why they’re used in so many ads and movies.
No lie told lol....yes ma'am
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.
Wow I love music history! Just when I thought I knew just about everything, something always surprises me lol I love Denise Williams's version, that's the one we grew up listening to! But wow, never heard of the Royalettes, their version is beautiful, I love that era's sound in music. It's just something so magical about it....
Thank you Ms. Jo for the history lesson....I sincerely appreciate it!! lmaooo I never heard of the Imperials....another one to get too.....And yes....we do agree it's just dead it is....This generation is not about love and affection. I honestly don't know what they're about now...but it's sad. Thank God we have decades of classics to keep us going...❤
@@earth2kosmickitty peace Kk....it is magical...I just can't get enough..And it's crazy I didn't know about Denise Williams...So now I have to do hers to see which one I like better....lol
@@Dabridge4009 Little Anthony and the Imperials are superstars of R&B ballads. 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". Many of these hits were composed by Teddy Randazzo, who was a childhood friend of the group's members.
@@joannerichards1750 "Little" Anthony Gourdine is one of the few hitmakers from the 50's and 60's who are STILL touring. Anthony sounds great...today!
Oh my goodness! I’d never noticed before, but she looks very much like actress Mary Tyler Moore with darker skin! Beautiful lady and sweet, beautiful voice! Mary Tyler Moore played Laura Petrie on “The Dick Van Dyke Show “ in the 60’s, and played Elvis’s romantic interest in the 1969 movie “Change of Habit.”
Oh, this is great listening to these great singers from my young years. This song is fabulous, all your choices are great!👍👏👏👏👏♥️
Thank you Ms. Kathy!! ❤Trust me it's my pleasure....
Girl groups were huge in the 60s. The Royalettes were one of the greats that came out of Baltimore.
Oh wow....thanks for that...I thought they were from Detroit..
@@Dabridge4009 Detroit would be the Motown girl groups.
Love it! I love Laura Nero's version too . The Great Patti LaBelle sang backup too with the Bluebells.
Thank you! Lol....Don't know who Laura Nero is....Thank you for that and I didn't Know about Patti LaBelle.....thank you for the history and thank you for checking my reaction....I love the old stuff ... golden
@@Dabridge4009 Thank YOU so much. I'm old now but I grew up with all of these songs and they gave me such an outlet for my pain or such inspiration for REAL love . I sing them all! So glad to see younger people feelin' it too ! Bless you!
@@Dabridge4009Laura Nyro wrote so many soulful music and her voice … wow. She wrote “Wedding Bell Blues” when she was 17. “Stoned Soul Picnic,” “Blowing Away,” “Sweet Blindness” - she wrote those. Please have a listen. Thanks!
One of the best of the singles of the era. Well done reviewing it. Enjoy discovering more of these musical diamonds. Try the Chess Records archives.

Brother D! Wassup bro. U taking us back..I love it! Classic 🔥🔥
@@ameekapulley9693 Got too!! Thank you sissy!! 💪🏾🖤🥰❤️
Have you heard of Little Anthony & The Imperials…” It Hurt So Bad. “ It’s fantastic!👍💙
Yes, someone did tell me about them..they are on the list....Thank you again..
Great song, but I think Denise Williams gets a lot of credit for it. She did a great cover.
She did...but that's why I say the royalettes doing it first holds a special place for me...Props to Deniece but, it's always easier in my opinion to do it after somebody else did it.....For my generation Deniece did it first....That's why I had to go back and I'm so glad I did..
Love this track! I got one for you. Please please please react to When I Die (1969) by Motherlode. I absolutely guarantee you'll love it!
@@Zebred2001 Thank you for the view and comment.... sincerely appreciate it....I hope When I die is up there with this....never heard of it before ..but then again I haven't heard of alot of songs ...lol...but this is noted ...I got it ...❤️
Listen to Denice Williams 80’s version.
As soon as I posted this my man and my cousin was like Denice Williams did this!! I gotta do it..cuz now I gotta see who sang it better even though it's easier for the person doing it over....Thank you Amara I got you sis...
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.
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....
Brother our men sold us out to the powers that be for their own financial gain.
@@Dabridge4009 You know that could be the case, but not sure, as I've never been into Chris Brown's music and Keisha Cole, I only heard one song from her, but yeah, they could well have been the catalyst so to speak. Wow October London, that's a new name on my radar, so gotta check him out, thank you for the name mention. :) Yes, I miss the groups like Boys 2 Men, New Edition, and En Vogue, to name a few, I think they all had great harmony. We can really use a resurgence of that ol skool R&B /Soul! ☺☺☺
@@earth2kosmickitty We could smh....but will we? I doubt it...Look at this generation...they want to just be in their phones and stuff even at shows...kids don't even play outside anymore and do the dances and cheers girls used to do when we was coming up...little kids don't even do paddy cake and shit lol....it's just different...but not a good different.
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....
Ok great explanation!! Love it...but what about quality?!! Ok things change right....they must...we must evolve and do new and different things....but the quality is gone....same in hiphop....in the beginning it was LL, Rakim, Kane krs one slick Rick run DMC etc etc.....first golden era....then came the second golden era ..Nas, big, Wu Tang, PAC snoop, mobb deep etc....no 3rd golden and nothing since but record sales.....where is the quality?!!! Why does that suffer with change?!!!!
@@Dabridge4009 Not sure, exactly. I guess it boils down to the fact that "quality" is in the ear of the beholder. 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. It boils down to the fact that nothing stays the same. Nothing. So, I just enjoy what I like, the stuff you react to, knowing it's not mainstream anymore, but being OK with that fact.
@@jrdlabs mmm.....I hear you...that's crazy work in the future if people say that lol....but it is a possibility....that means it's downhill from here.....I'm trying to picture what it will look like for my grandkids but I can't...they too will be going back to a better time of music....
@@Dabridge4009 Remember, it's only 'downhill' in our opinion. Art is subjective. That's a tough pill to swallow, I know. For your grandchildren? Wow! Hard to say. But, if you've heard some of the music totally created by A.I., it'll scare ya! Maybe THAT'S the future of popular music. We're halfway there now, with many pop songs featuring no 'real' musical instruments, auto tuned or pitch corrected vocals, no 'traditiona'l song structure, far fewer chord changes. Back to this A.I. thing: think about it, no pesky artists to pay, no royalties, no expensive tours. Terrestrial radio pays a tremendous amount of money each year to publishing companies like ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, just to play songs on the radio, so the composers get paid.. What if NONE of that money went to human composers and all of it went into the company coffers? Hopefully, none of this will actually happen. But, it could....
@@jrdlabs smh....dam...all of this stuff I read about but tried to ignore...I just know I couldn't listen to it...but the new generation will be used to this sort of thing and maybe adjust to it. Or...hopefully rebel or set the revolution off. This replacing human beings stuff has to die somewhere....Thanks again for the knowledge I appreciate it. Thank the lord there are thousands of songs and artists to still see and listen to. I haven't scratched the surface.....And before I forget yes it's subjective....But!!!! lol there is also consensus and universal. And it has been said that music just isn't the same anymore and many people feel the glory days of great R&B music has died and has been over for years now. Can it return? I doubt it.
Critique the Impressions I’ m so proud with Curtis Mayfield
Never heard of the Impressions lol oh my God....You just gon keep me in this rabbit hole....Amara just one thing....aight...It better be good..lol...I like hits but I love classics!! I got you sissy...I hope you subscribed so you can see it when I do it...

Actually just did the research her song was '82
Didn't Smoky Robinson sing this or possibly write this?
