The best music of my life

74 and rapidly approaching 75 years of age and still I yearn for vocal talent such as Teddy's would populate the real soul scene today in 2024. KTF.
The voice of the great Teddy P fantastic !!!!!
80 years old and I still know every note and word of this song...danced to it so many times with my 'special girl'. Love to Carron Martin wherever you might be.
Damn, Carron ghosted you? 😢
@@gtawebdesignseoexpert4536 I don't think he means in the spirit of ghosting from 2020....rip Ms. Martin and Bob.... I hope you are well
So you were about 30 years old when this song came out, pretty cool
@@gtawebdesignseoexpert4536😂😂😂😂
@@TeuflischerLordi may she r.i.p if she is gone back to be with God
Yes, I am 81 and it is still really good.
I AM 101 AND LOVE THIS ERA OF MUSIC. THEIR IS NO MUSIC LIKE THIS TODAY. ANYONE AGREES?
I'm a 77 year old white woman and this music moves me. This is my kind of music Motown. I find myself slow dancing in my living room with just me. Oh this music is good for the soul. Thank God for the artists that made this kinda music
This is Philly Soul, but we got you. Keep jamming it!
A Stax museum documentary just came out yesterday on Max you should check it out. It covers some amazing artists.
I'm right there with you. I grew up in the '60s & '70s on soul & RnB music. This song is especially great with the wonderful Teddy Prendergast singing lead vocals. Wonderful.
You don't have to be white to know Harold and Company. Timeless indeed.
I’m 53 and here i am 👏👏👏👏👏👌
32 years old but I love this song. Like if this still listening 2024
I’m 72 years old, white and I still love this music. This is what MUSIC used to be.
just turned 60, white and this is when music was GOOD!
Good music is good music, so color never matters. I'm an older soul and enjoy Simply Redd and Michael Bolton. 😊
Enjoy the music you love.
I'm fixing to turn 72 also🎉 I love this stuff❤
I'm 72 and still remember all the words ❤
I am 90 years old and love the older music.
Guess you have to be at a age to understand beautiful music . Takes me back to my childhood days when life was simple and music was great 😢😢😢
My mom just passed last November and my Dad passed when I was sixteen... I swore off Motown and similar musicians, except Otis Redding cuz he's my soulmate musically... anyway, I just had a fight with my partner and I found myself typing out "if you don't know me by now, you will never ever know me" been together 8 years. And I listened to this again, tho I know it so well and it just made me think of my parents too. I'm 38 with almost a year of sobriety and my parents died from their addictions and left me with nothing. No guidance, no support... I have children I fight for every day. They never fought for me the way I do for my kids... My point here tho is that my parents had me grow up on oldies and Motown, especially my Father. I understood them through songs like this more than I ever understood them otherwise. I hope this song reaches through time for other people as well.
What a beautiful comment ❤️thank you for being so open, you reached my heart deeply🙏
I identify may you continue to receive all the blessings that life has to offer. Paul H a friend of Bills !!!
Sending you love.x
Heart felt story congrats on your sobriety how ever long it has been each day counts and on breaking the chain on addiction genetics @bringonthelocust7764
One of the most powerful and beautiful songs ever written.
Man the music back then was so perfect.
,,
So many of us whites people thought it was an original by mick hucknal simply red
You mos def got that right!!
Amen.
One of the best songs that speak about a mans true feelings.
Teddy Pendergrass at his finest. What a voice.
I'm 45 years old playing this for my 15 year old son. He's such a musician and lover of old school music so I let him listen to what I grew up listening to with my dad and mom.💞💞💞
👍👍👍👍👍
Good job Mom.
I remember the year this song came out. Saw it all happen. Met Teddy in Chicago.
Such a cool mom
@@Grandtrunk THANKS
They don't write them like that today....❤
Teddy's voice was so POWERFUL!!!!
Yes yes
Saw Teddy in concert in San Diego in the early 80's. He had gone solo by that time. What a man, what a voice, what a concert!!!!! So deeply missed.
what song sample from?
June 2024 I’m 67 and still sing my heart out to this ❤❤❤❤
When I hear this song on the radio or in a store, THIS is the version I want to hear!
Outstanding!
HAROLD MELVIN AND THE BLUE NOTES ARE ABSOLUTE PROOF OF GOD SHOWING OFF !!!

what song the sample from?
Rest in peace, Teddy and Harold, thanks for all the the great music and memories!
My words!!!!!!!!!
🙏🏾❤️
I'm a metalhead but I absolutely love this song.
Respect!!
@Kiki CHOU wym? the o’jays arent metal. Hence the “but”
Music is universal my friend, there's no genre above the other. Forget about labels.
@@JackWalker12993 you're absolutely right
Being a metalhead doesn't somehow make your opinion notable
#2024 -OLDIES will never get Old in my house❤ This is real music right here!
Teddy and that voice !
I just did now 6:58pm, 28th August 2024 for the first time. Let it be recorded for you in 2099 listening. We were here too.❤❤❤❤❤ rest in peace to all who sang, listened and enjoyed. 🎉🎉🎉
❤❤❤❤
This was a time for so many GREAT black groups. They all sang the grooves off the records.
Rest In Peace teddy 😂😂
Yes. Still listening. Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, the Chi Lites, Stylistics, Al Green, Earth Wind and Fire. Aretha. All of it so good. Listening just "sends me".
Soul music like this needs to return to popular music today
It will never happen because every generation after the next are so mislead and don't know what true love really is....
We all wish!!
I also just turned 80. Just keep listening to this beautiful art form 🎶
Rest in peace teddy Pendergrass
This original version can make me cry it's so good.
I'm 43 years old. I like it when I hear this song.
Rest In Peace teddy bear ❤❤

高校生の頃初めてラジオから流れていて、素晴らしいコーラス。 もう７０歳近くなりましたが。今でも青春時代思い出すいい曲ですね。
Rest In Peace teddy bear 😂😂
I randomly thought of this song lmao my art teacher used to play this back in high school from 2014-18. It's 2024 and this comes out of nowhere! Lmao 😂
Love this song
Can I meet you
This song hits the soul all in the right places!

The Corlee Family, You are so right & that's why it was called "Soul Music". You nailed it.
Memories of my first love...❤

Years ago I went to my first house party. Blue lights, soul music, and slow dancing were the order of the day. When this song came on all the elements of life my parents had yet to tell me about came to fruition. It was learning as you go. God I miss those days.

It absolutely SLAYS the Simply Red version. I can't even listen to that version. It's this one only for me!
@@BillGraper Agreed. I never really liked the SR version. And when I heard this, I realized what it was supposed to sound like.
all the classics come from this era.

Love this music!
DIRECTO AL CORAZÓN, desgarradora letra, interpretación con toda la emoción y sentimiento, coros en su perfecta armonía, uf, DIRECTO AL CORAZÓN
I am 64 years old and I have something to say about the song in my life as of late. I know who I am I've always known who I was. People have always tried to control me and take my light somebody even tried to kill me for it. Can't take someone else's light you can however have your own. God sees everything he's been watching you know who you are and he knows who you are and I have a pretty good idea of who you are just saying you better leave this child of God Alone you've been playing with me too long it's over that's about ready to rain fire and brimstone on your head don't you get it I pray he has Mercy on all of you
I'm 44 and love this
Man. The Sound of Philadelphia hits HARD from the first note!!! 215 all day everyday! Proud to have grown up on this music!
Rest In Peace teddy bear 😂
Just came acros this song in the movie kaleidoscope, had to pause the movies to come have a listen. Now am hooked.
That series had great music!!! Wish I could make a playlist with all the songs from that show..they used all the best classics!!!!!
Just a 20 yr old enjoying real music
I ❤ this song
Me too,mos def!!
Yep me also, it's timeless, has no expiration date👍✌️
I joined the Marine Corps on September 26, 1972, the same month and year this single came out.
I had already been in the Marine Corps in 1972 and was stationed at Camp Lejeune.
Fast forward to 2024 and I have been retired from the Marines since 2000. So much great music came out in those 30 years. Semper Fi.
Another unforgettable Soul hit from the 1972 50 long years we bin together, Harold! 50 long years! Hehee! Hehee! We didn't deserve you, The Blue Notes!
Cruised through town on weekends LISTENING TO THIS !!!
Teddy was one of a kind. With all of the fantastic singers from that era...Teddy stood his own.
Teddy Pendergrass had a fantastic voice. 🔥🔥🔥
A true masterpiece
Happy 78th birthday to Kenneth Gamble who was born in Philadelphia on August 11, 1943, Gamble has had a hand in writing over 3,000 songs, and with Leon Huff wrote songs like this classic
Que música, meus amigos! Os grandes da música estão aos poucos indo embora, deixando a lembrança dos tempos áureos do Jazz e do Soul.
never know me!...I got mine and you got yours
THIS BEAUTIFUL NEVER COMES BACK...SADLY
This is one of the best songs I have ever heard. Thanks to Melvin and the Bluenotes for this perfect delivery of this timeless soul classic.
Agreed! 💜
