Black Ivory and The Delfonics were the groups no one could touch. They sang such beautiful love songs, the words were clear and their voices were so pure--nothing but solid Black Gold music to our ears. Groups don't come like this anymore or ever will again.
From my experience as a stage musician I could definitely write for them. And have them re-do old hits that fit their personna. Imagine a show with all the love songs by groups of their own gendre????? Money, money & MO money.
blue lights in the basement falling in love every week dancing your buff off in the discos just being young and blessed with great memories of the past.
They are still around with the same three members (- the afros). The only difference is Stuart Bascombe (the light skinned Brother in the middle) and lead singer Leroy Burgess have switched roles. The other member is Russell Patterson.
As a young girl this was one of my favorite songs damn I miss those days and I don't care what anyone says or thinks but the Afro was the baddest style ever.
Trina F. OMG You just hit a home run with those comments TRUE DAT! ! Trina this beautiful classic just moves your soul in the right direction do you agree?
Thanks for sharing! I’m just curious did they have a band backing them? I was born in 1970 so I was always wondering how would these great local groups perform back in the day.
Much respect to Black Ivory for the wonderful performance we all witnessed here. Remember, this was live TV, no studio effects, voice enhancement, no do overs. They were and still are one of the great performing groups that proved that they can not only record beautiful love songs, but they can back it up live. MUCH LOVE BLACK IVORY
And whatever reason leroy is not leading his song. Main man sings baritone. Leroy Burgess the guy in the middle sings most of their songs I know all of their hits. But not a bad job.
Think l have a year on you. Freshman year, this one and You and l were the ones that we were waiting for at the "sets" aka parties that had pluggers. Slow dance eutopia.
I couldn't have said it better. The greatest singers, sports icon inventors dancers the most beautiful people I could go on and on. We're a blessed people.

I loved this song growing up. The lead singer looks so shy and nervous lol. Look how young and innocent they look. Seeing this video makes me feel butterflies 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I'd have to disagree with you noel Trace . It was up to our parents to put us on to music like this. My parents sure as heck did! But that's just my parents.
What an amazing group, song, talent, the 70's was an amazing era, heartfelt songs, the men would sing to the women and we would just melt inside,,im so glad i was born in 64 to have witnessed it!
I'm 64 . We were smooth. We talked them out of their clothes with our music. We were taught to be gentlemen and ladies. I have worked hard to instill this in my nephews. The sad part is most women in this era don't want this.
That was music and those were the days when people had damn good jobs. People were raising their families and us little kids stay in our places. We didn't get in grown folks business. That kind of music take me back when I was in elementary school. We used to hear it on the radio in my dads car or at home when we used to get in front of my mother's and father's company and dance for a dollar or more. That was some music y'all that you can't get back. It is a treasure. I love it. It don't matter what age you are it is good to listen to. Look it here now. I love me some soul music.
Blue lights in the basement... belly grinding and getting those digits at the end of the party... The seventies there will never be another decade like it. The music was it and the times were special...
DCBLUE MINOT yeah when grinding on the wall at a basement party was as close as you could get to “gettin some” and your knees were strong enough to dip.
Early 70s their debut album went 3x gold. My old head Fats from Nicholas st use to blast this on his mom's stereo ( when a stereo was a peice furniture.
DON'T TURN AROUND. WOW.we need to turn back the hands of time and bring back songs like this.we need our oldies today, tomorrow and forever.please bring back this music. PLEASE DO NOT, DO NOT LET THIS MUSIC DIE ON US TODAY.OK. PLEASE. Beautiful song.
Roy Spicer ... Black Ivory was ok, but not on the Delfonics level in any way. Their lead singer tended to wander off key, the music wasn't lush like the Philly sound backing The Delfonics, etc....with all due respect.
DAMN ,CAN SOMEONE HELP ME BRING THIS REAL SINGING AND MUSIC BACK ! REAL VOICES WITHOUT COMPUTERS ,GOOD OLD SATURDAY MORNING CLEANING MUSIC LOL THANK YOU MOM DAD
+Lisa E, I aree!! This kind of music will make you cry. Its sounds so real & genuine. Music back then had a meaning & the words were real. Unlike todays music.
They made you feel a certain way and the feeling was real! Music from the 70's conveys such a wide range emotions. It's why 70's music is often used in movie soundtracks!
Still love Black Ivory. Young talented FINE men from New York City singing their hearts out. Soundtrack of my life. I have purchased Black Ivory 8 tracks, cassette tapes, and CDs.😅😅😅❤
Yes, back in the days when a brother did'nt need a fancy car, a fancy house, a fancy job or a lot of cash! If your mouthpiece game was tight and your fro was tight! that's all you needed! lol!
Man oh Man those Male groups from the 70's . . . They were superb! nicely dressed, harmonizing and those cool steps . . . much love to these guys . . . 🖤

Wishing they made love songs like this nowadays. I would love to see them perform live.
They're actually still performing. They were in Atlantic City in Summer 2022, all the original members.
I did ,they were great. But just a one hit wonder . Yeah, how sad.

More like yeah I did it but don't leave.

Marcus Sampson. So true!
Yo!, You's know why???? Because They were "The Coldest" of Singers. Old School Talent.
I second that Marcus
Big FACTS king, a lot of groups came out of NewYork but these cats was one of the best 🗽🗽🗽
And whatever reason leroy is not leading his song. Main man sings baritone. Leroy Burgess the guy in the middle sings most of their songs I know all of their hits. But not a bad job.
I was 13 years old, when I took my allowance and bought their 1st album and fell in love 🥰. Love Black Ivory ♥!!

They were my friends. Many memories spending time with them making great music. The Bronx has spawn some awesome groups.
Didn't know that 😮 thanks for putting me/us up on it

Of course..... WE'RE THE ORIGINAL RACE
I'm fascinated by how they could just "step" sing and be in time. They were great young performers...
LOL that was definitely the thing back in the 70s.
LOL, IT'S CALLED ( HARD WORK AND TALENT )
BACK WHEN YOU ACTUALLY HAD TO KNOW HOW TO SING AND HAVE TALENT.
Right 😅
Pretty much
Isn't that the truth
You got that right!😊

You are right, the group taled about this moment years later, that young brother was super nervous, but his voice was so on point, he got through it!
This era was da 💣 bomb
The lead singer is Leroy Burgess
Google his name and look up his disgraphy 👍
My family knew them.Leroy WAS very shy and sooo nice. They used to rehearse at our apartment in Harlem when I was a kid. I was so crushin on Russell 😍
When music was good
He's hitting those notes so effortlessly 😄😄
This genearation knows nothing about real music Im so thankful I was born when I was I was blessed to enjoy all the music jesus gave us
I was thinking the exact same thing, this new generation of music has no soul or substance!
not true..with this site here we can find out even more than our parents
I'd have to disagree with you noel Trace . It was up to our parents to put us on to music like this. My parents sure as heck did! But that's just my parents.
My older sisters were the ones that always bought most of the music after my parents last interest.
27 and love this music and sound
Love Black Ivory. Was a teenager when they started. A senior now. Still love them. Bring back so many memories ❤❤❤
That's what you called Smoooooth soul music!! Like no other. No cussing or disrespecting women ........... Priceless
What an amazing group, song, talent, the 70's was an amazing era, heartfelt songs, the men would sing to the women and we would just melt inside,,im so glad i was born in 64 to have witnessed it!
I Agree I'm 54 Men Had A Lot Of respect For Women! Love songs All The Way!
I'm 64 . We were smooth. We talked them out of their clothes with our music. We were taught to be gentlemen and ladies. I have worked hard to instill this in my nephews. The sad part is most women in this era don't want this.
Perhaps , the females in that era allowed them to have it because of the personalities they displayed.Respect is earned.
Claudett’s the one adding substance to the background… don’t miss that!!!
These guys were in high school when they recorded this. Straight out of Harlem. They had us rockin'.
Where are they from Brandeis high School?
The talent of that time was amazing
I was digging this on WOL radio Washington.DC.. In the summer of 1972.
That was music and those were the days when people had damn good jobs. People were raising their families and us little kids stay in our places. We didn't get in grown folks business. That kind of music take me back when I was in elementary school. We used to hear it on the radio in my dads car or at home when we used to get in front of my mother's and father's company and dance for a dollar or more.

Love Black Ivory, Slow dance/grind music all day
I had the album kept it on repeat. Oh do I miss the 70's 🎉
This song brings back so many memories for me I was 16 years when i first saw Black Ivory sing this live. I was in love with Stuart he was fine then and is still fine as wine...would love to see them in concert now...the whole album was off the chain...this is what singing is about....
