Yes, I feel sorry for this new generation they don't have the real good times like we used to have discos all over the city of New York WOW GOOD TIMES!!!
One of the best songs ever for me! This tune slips through my skin, flesh and bones then touches my soul. Can't listen to this without getting emotional.
you are privileged. not only thanks to those musics but i use to say that the 70's where the best era of human kind... there was enough space for dreams, love and music... now whe don't have no more dreams, no more love and of course no more music... thx to those sounds that helps going on and sometimes dream.. of a better world... but we will need music, that kind...
Being a white guy from Detroit living in Texas I miss the music of Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. Harold is such a wonderful singer with a smooth powerful voice.
This is such a phenomenal version. No auto tune just talented singers and wonderful musicians. Teddy has a wonderful voice such a pity he died so young.
Moulton invented the 12" single as well, by sheer accident. An engineer ran out of 7" discs for a test copy to give Moulton for his usual fix/mix magic. So the engineer used a 10" platter. Moulton thought it looked ridiculous to have a three minute song scrunched up at the edge and told the engineer to redo it with wider grooves. As soon as Moulton heard it, it was a revelation: Wider grooves made the lows and highs more distinct. Extended singles became industry practice almost immediately.
I'm French, born in 1964, and discovered this song by RUclips. I had never seen a singer with such a class, with so much Glam, and such power in the voice. He was really beautiful.
Soul pounding voice from the Angels above taken far too soon from us. Jesus Himself desired Teddy’s presence... and his passionate vocals to soothe the very Heavens intimately. Rest in unimaginable peace, brother... ~Vernon Lee Palmer, Sr~
By far one of the best remix jams I have ever heard! Smooth blend of tracks that we have not heard on the radio or the albums. You are right droopusmaximus...Moulton is a bad dude. Been remixing longer than anybody. FYI... those that do not know he invented the REMIX in the good ole 70's. I truly hope REAL music like this does not get ignored and buried. Would be such a shame. Music like this makes you smile, makes you move, makes you think, gets down in your heart and soul. You just feel it.
The production and musicianship on this one is fabulous. It's called ear candy...........a treat for the ears, a boost to the spirit...inspiring, great to listen to.
Got that right, sisters. The orchestral instruments behind the throbbing drums and bass guitars was heavenly............especially at the bridge...then the ending rising crescendo...My heavens, it was enough to take your breath away.
The house band MFSB are the backbone of the Philly sound. The same group of musicians are also members of Vince Montana’s Salsoul Orchestra. They’re the Disco version of Hal Blaine’s Wrecking Crew, and Motown’s Funk Brothers of the 60’s.

70s care free life although I was born in the 70s times seemed a lot simpler and happier i know 4 a fact music wise i choose this music 2 listen 2 than todays garbage
@@laurellrandle5319 The fifties and sixties was the most fabulous, but the early seventies had its moments regardless of the war, the breakup of the Beatles, gas shortages, apathy and general loss of innocence. But some of the music was pretty damned good.
Yesssss, those were the days, B Ball with the boombox in Wingate Park in Brooklyn jammin to songs like this. Oh what a time to be able to experience that era's music. I tell this younger generation they should listen to music from back in the day, an honest listen with no prejudice or peer pressure, from the 50's DooWop to the 90's, all types, R&B, Funk, Pop, Classic Rock, even music like Cool Jazz and Brazilian, Black, White, or Latino artists. A ton of great music from all those decades, don't rob yourself of great music just because you came of age during these days of predominantly Hip Hop and Rap. My music collection is so varied, many who hear it are truly surprised. Really great music will appreciate you, listen to some of the music from back in the day(s), and if you really like it, give it a thumbs up, you will start seeing more of it when you log on and before long, you will be hooked. Expand your love of all types of music. Thanks for the upload Droopus Tunes.
A unique soulful voice and legendary artist within Soul and R&B. This song is a masterpiece by definition. The mix by Mr. Tom Moulton is world class and the song feels and sounds like it’s recorded 2021. Philly Sound was, is and will always be my number One choice of music with a Message. MFSB. Your music will live on forever and always Teddy. R.I.P. Love & Peace, Michael
I saw Mr. Pendergrass perform as a solo artist at the height of career before his accident. Stephanie Mills opened for him and they later performed together. I feel truly blessed to have had the experience. It was marvelous.
This song is CLASSIC! The music, (especially the violins) produce a mellow sound that I haven't heard since this song was released. MFSB was the absolute best.
I worked a long hard week 65+hrs. doing CNC programming where I work for 3 doz. machines. Imagine the sounds of routers hitting metal - ugh! I AM George Jetson @ Spacely Sprockets in the far future. I came here to go to a place of comfort. In '78 Little Rock this song played on the radio while I, a guy & 2 girls skipped H.S. & cruised in the country in my '67 Riviera. 1 girl sang to this song beautifully! I go to that place of comfort I need so! I THANK YOU for putt'n this extended version here!

Sublime mix. Oh boy it's no wonder that soul of this standard not only took centre stage in the 70s soul music explosion but that 4 decades on it still retains its magic and staying power. Pure gold and timeless. The other thing I always loved about soul is how it unified race.😎👍
Wow those were the days. It is just so GREAT to hear classics like this song with Teddy P. Those days are gone but the music lives on forever. I sure miss those days.
Harold Melvin came from a time of excellence in all things. You didn't get a recording contract unless you had the chops to make it. You didn't get a hit unless you had a great sound, great production, fantastic backing musicians, the right look and the personality...AND of course, talent. What has happened is that drugs took over the industry.. and they didn't care about quality...Music today is depressing..just horrible noise. Those who don't remember the golden age of music...........probably the mid 50s to the mid 70s give or take, simply don't understand that there was a time just before them when everything went right. Life itself was a glorious thing to behold, and the music reflected it. Sad to say, it will not return............those who remember it, cherish those times. Those new to this music, consider yourselves lucky to be able to hear it on You Tube.
This music wants to drive my car on a glorious 90 degree day on an open road, with sunroof open, windows down, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes music BLASTING... and forget about all the BS this crazy world is giving us!! Thank you Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes for giving me this option... and thank you God and Summertime! This is Heaven On Earth!!
The awesome Teddy.His voice was so very good to listen to.Rip Teddy,and I'll see you on the other side.Thanks for sharing your great voice,and music with the world,and with me.You made the world a much,much,much better place.Thank you for your greatness.God bless you.
Teddy Pendergrass was the heart and soul of this incredible group his voice that baritone sound had strong affect on many!! He was sensational during his time with the group he blended in beautifully singing lead there will never be another Teddy Pendergrass, Harold Melvin their music timeless!!! Thanx for the music it wouldn't be possible without you. He definitely gave us something to look forward to this incredible masterpiece!!! LOL
Teddy Pendergrass was the lead singer, the sound, the voice of all their hit songs. It was not Harold Melvin. That’s why Teddy left the band. He became a huge star on his own. He was an incredible talent.
Very little was as good as Philly Soul in the 70s. Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes were always a win for the ears. And don't get me started on how utterly sexy Pendergrass and his voice were. Whew! Way too much heat there. RIP, you sexy devil. The entire Moulton Remixes album is stunning. So glad I picked up the CD set when it was easier (and cheaper) to get in 2012, but I wish I'd gotten the vinyl version, too. I have a feeling Philly Soul sounds best on its original format.

This is pure fire. Great mix. This song is why a repeat button is needed
Being a white guy from Detroit living in Texas I miss the music of Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. Harold is such a wonderful singer with a smooth powerful voice.
Actually, the lead singer on this (and most Harold Melvin tracks) is Teddy Pendergrass.
But Teddy was unbelievable
Not Harold, it's Teddy Pendergrass!
Such a loss when he passed. Teddy Bear had such a good voice. I really miss this music.
This is such a phenomenal version. No auto tune just talented singers and wonderful musicians. Teddy has a wonderful voice such a pity he died so young.
Oh my God; That song is a masterpiece .The beginning of this song is magnificent. The organ,guitar- wow. Know that had to win some Grammys.
oh Teddy rip
If it did not it should have.
@@learnpianofastonline Good Soul Music of the 70s was so great and plentiful …the competition was steep
@@Swoop2565 SO glad I was there! 70's R&B and Soul has ALWAYS filled my soul!❤

Wow those were the days. It is just so GREAT to hear classics like this song with Teddy P. Those days are gone but the music lives on forever. I sure miss those days.
One of my very favorite 70s songs, what a great time to grow up in with music like this!
Harold Melvin came from a time of excellence in all things. You didn't get a recording contract unless you had the chops to make it. You didn't get a hit unless you had a great sound, great production, fantastic backing musicians, the right look and the personality...AND of course, talent. What has happened is that drugs took over the industry.. and they didn't care about quality...Music today is depressing..just horrible noise. Those who don't remember the golden age of music...........probably the mid 50s to the mid 70s give or take, simply don't understand that there was a time just before them when everything went right. Life itself was a glorious thing to behold, and the music reflected it. Sad to say, it will not return............those who remember it, cherish those times. Those new to this music, consider yourselves lucky to be able to hear it on You Tube.
On point and well said.
And nowadays have zero talent , if you have a pc and a pair of softwares you can "make music " ; it´s a pity...
Real music going on here. I love my old school! Grew up with it and it is still in my soul.
I was very fortunate to see them in a small club in Tampa in 1975. So talented and a great sound especially this song !!
Take 'em to church, Teddy!
Does it get any BETTER than this!!! Thank God for Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes... music from Heaven!!
