Siedah Garrett is a great singer & songwriter. She wrote Man in the Mirror & sang I just can't stop loving you with Michael Jackson. Very talented young lady!
Dennis Edwards Jr. was the lead singer for The Temptations starting in 1968 after David Ruffin left. In the mid 80s, he attempted a solo career & had this hit song "Don't Look Any Further" in 1984.
If You Like Dennis, you will LOVE Teddy Pendergrass, as well as the group he sang lead in, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. Check out "Close The Door", "The Whole Town's Laughing at Me", "Lady Love", "Turn Out the Lights". "Bad Luck", "If You Don't Know Me By Now", "Wake Up Everybody", "The Love I Lost". Some of the hottest most romantic music EVER. I wonder if others out here love Teddy's music as much as I do. Rock in Peace.
Another artist you'll enjoy is Candi Staton. She is mainly known for her work in the '70's (Young Hearts Run Free). Some of her vocals were used on dance tracks in the '90's and ended up a pretty big dance hit in 2007 - You Got The Love. I love the energy you have together 💛
Dennis Edwards is the guy you remember who sang Papa Was A Rollin Stone. Legendary voice Dennis Edwards, along with incredible David Ruffin, Eddie Kendricks, and Paul Williams of The Temptations.
BACK IN OUR DAY Rappers used to be called blues and soul music artists. Black people are utterly responsible for placing the "K" into fun. There were all us white folk thinking we had it all then came along a BLACK VOICE and literally SHOOK THE FUCKING WORLD! Still feel the effects ever since ! It dont matter when you listen to it that FUNK will always be there somewhere deep in your white soul. That was when i learned where we are all the same, right there! (1986) Thank you MY Brother for taking me under your wing all those years ago. Just a skinny ass little blond haired white kid with no mother or father or home to return to, living in the same childrens home BROWNLOWES ENFIELD ENGLAND , and no clue (Not Streetwise) God Bless You Brother AKIN LAWALE "SOMEONE TO COUNT ON IN A WORLD OF CHANGE" !
This song is showcasing Dennis’ lower range smoothness and his upper range’s distinct earthy and authoritative tone. A real mans voice if you will. Its complemented perfectly by Siedah’s unmistakable femininity. He’s showing her what a man is about. What a man can and should be/do. “Someone to count on…here I am”. Powerful. She ultimately succumbs to him and his convincing efforts as indicated by the lines “say it….on and on and on and on” Unity during the day and later on unification at night. Love is strong. Great song
Just love y'all! Y'all have great chemistry. The between y'all comes through & I love it. Great vibes everytime. Keep it up. Please. We need more ppl like y'all.
I agree that Siedah Garrett is a great singer/songwriter. She actually co-wrote Man in the Mirror with Glen Ballard who produced many artists including Alanis Morrisette. He produced the Jagged Little Pill album. Siedah also co-wrote Keep the Faith from Michael's Dangerous cd, with Glen and Michael Jackson. Siedah has several solo recordings and her biggest hits were probably K.I.S.S.I.N.G and Refuse To Be Loose from her first solo album Kiss of Life. She also sang lead on a club hit called Do You Want It Right Now from the soundtrack of a movie called Fast Forward. She was also the lead singer and co-wrote many songs on the Brand New Heavies album, Shelter. Her name is pronounced SY EE DAH.
Bang on Shawn Dennis was lead singer with The Temptations...just listen to that smooth soul voice him and the legend Levi Stubbs (The Four Tops) whow slick.... RIP BOTH YOU LEDGENDS....
Siedah Garrett can be found on a LOT of Michael Jackson music also. She sings along with him on lots of his tracks and also actually wrote, "Man in the Mirror". I LOVE your reactions...can you please check out Stevie Wonder, "I Don't Know Why I Love You", and the Dells, either "There Is", or I Can Sing A Rainbow"? These will put you into a whole other deep dive and time period in music.
I can't believe you guys haven't heard this before!!?? This is one of my favorite songs of all time. My favorite genre is '80's & 90's Soul/R&B. This was definitely a good choice to react to. Nice reaction!
That one right there is a true classic . Dennis Edwards , an original Temptation and Siedah Garrett who sang on Michael Jackson’s I Just Can’t Stop Loving You ! She also wrote his hit Man In The Mirror. Y’all should give a listen to Denice Williams and Johnny Mathis’ Too Much, Too Little , Too Late.
Such a great soulful song. Sang with passion and fire. Just brings back great memories. Thank you so much for reacting to this Banger. Definitely disco,but with plenty of soul.
Yay..you did this one! Cheesiest video ever!! I love it :) There's an interview here on Yt where Siedah talks about this video. I thought he was chewing gum,but everybody says it's coke/crack mouth,lol
If you guys would go back and watch your reaction to a group called the Contours singing "Do you love me(Now that I can Dance)", you'll see Dennis Edwards.He is a power house vocalist.He replaced David Ruffin with the Temptations.R.I.P.Dennis
That's the Temtations lead vocalist...Dennis Edwards...RIP....His voice rips into your soul...Day o umba day o mambu ji a o means...Don't look any further. :)))
What language is that though? I remember this song from when I was a teenager. I always assumed that's what it meant but never knew what language it is.
Dennis (RIP) was high on this one ,he went back into the Temptations a while after this for a couple of years to replace Ally Woodson who had replaced him in the early 1980’s Dennis did three stints with the Temps on & off from 1968 - around 1989 . When he had another run in with Otis & they decided to part company yet again . Dennis then went on to join up with firmer Temptations David Ruffin & Eddie Kendrick to form what was called former lead singers of the Temptations & toured Europe & U.K. .Siedah Garret was sizzling hot she looked like she could knock Dennis over & be under him before he hit the deck . People were saying Dennis couldn’t fill David’s boots when he replaced him in 1968 ,but Dennis didn’t need to he could. fill his own & took the Temps to even higher heights. & Grammy awards .
Everybody was in love with Dennis Edwards, well the ladies. The 70s was a great time in music. Ashford and Simpson were great entertainers they had a stage presence and lots of hits
Other duos to listen to: Betty Everette and Jerry Butler, Let It Be Me Peaches and Herb , Close Your Eyes Supremes and The Temptations, I’ll Try Something New Billy Preston and Syreeta Wright, With You I’m Born Again Pavarotti and Tracy Chapman Live, Baby Can I Hold You Tonight
Mel and shawn should re-enact to this one with the expressions. Come on guys. You both got the passion and soul. Mel get some gloves and start dancing 😂❤❤❤🌹😍
@@jasondewitt7124 Because he couldn't get royalties off of it because it wasn't actually sampled.There were instruments involved from what I heard & Dennis was pissed about that!

Day-o day-o, mombajee ai-o -- Swahili loosely translated "Don't look and further." (looked it up on Google -- I don't speak the language! LOL!)
Yes, the meaning is in the song. So Shawn and Mel you don’t have to look any further. 🤓
Wasn't that in a harry bellefonte song.😮.day o.?

Listen, this is one of the best songs ever written. I don’t care what anybody says. This song is a vibe.
Teddy & Stephanie ‘Feel The Fire’ THIS ONE IS SMOKING.
It's an African dialect, Swahili which is perfect that they used it in this great song,
Yes, you are right. Dennis Edwards replaced David Ruffin as the lead singer of The Temptations.
