This was the group's biggest hit. Definitely, you need to watch the Soul Train performance. Their choreography was on point. Lastly, the lead lead singer, Tony Washington was gay.
I didn't know Tony was gay until I saw the Soul Train video...but you are absolutely correct about the choreography... Its outstanding just like Tony's voice
Yes it was said he was completely out and didn’t give a damn about what people thought ….. one of the guys was his Brother and we have to mention those outfits from that Soul Train performance.
The Dynamic Superiors were from Washington, D. C. and recorded on Motown Records label. The songs on their first two albums were mostly written by the husband-and-wife team Ashford & Simpson. They recorded with moderate success throughout the 1970s. One of their bestselling hits was "Shoe, Shoe Shine" in 1975. They were unique in that Tony Washington was openly gay, and sometimes dressed in drag onstage.
The lead singer was the first openly gay male singer signed to Motown. The thing I remember is we never knew they were gay. It wasn’t promoted we just knew the music was good.
Great song by a groundbreaking group. Many people will reference their Soul Train performance(with good reason) which had lots of interesting things going on. Obviously Washington in drag was in your face in an era where Flip Wilson’s “Geraldine” character was weekly hysterical comedy . Second was the reaction of the Soul Train male dancers many of whom were hiding in “plain sight”. Being with Motown made it all the more fascinating. Since Berry Gordy never was comfortable with breaking from the good old “wholesome” image. Interesting stuff🎼
Another fantastic song and reaction. Ashley, you remind me of my daughters. I am always sharing musical tidbits with them. To be 25 and 18, they are deeply loving old school music. I remember when the corner store sold penny candies and a bus ride was a dime. Thanks for bringing back the memories! FYI: The lead singer in this group was gay.
This is the 1st time I’ve seen you NOT speak, when reacting to a song. I really like this side of you: quiet; reflective. The thing is: you didn’t tell us what you thought of the song!!! Were you listening to it?
Have you heard " inside and out " by the beegees ? If not not can you please react to that song . I subscribed to your channel, but can't find this reaction
The ones that look like they were feminine, WERE feminine . Watch the soul train video and you'll see the lead singer's openly gay😮😮 but damn he can SANG😢

Another 70 group was New Birth and amazing young lady singing UNTIL IT'S TIME TO GO
I was going to suggest that you watch the live Soul Train performance too.
Hey ASH, you need to look up "TOMMORROW's PROMISE" You're good, You're Fine, You're Everything
You're right, TomorrowsPromise was awesome. They never got their just dues. They were difficult to beat when it came to singing and performing.
Sweet* instead of good

The lead singer was openly gay.
This is the 1st time I’ve seen you NOT speak, when reacting to a song.
I really like this side of you: quiet; reflective.
The thing is:
you didn’t tell us what you thought of the song!!!
Were you listening to it?
the lead singer was actually an openly gay man.true story.
a nice song back then, the falsetta proudly showed his femininity gesturing. they also dropped like flies back then. look it up.
A penny for you thoughts by tavares is a great song you may enjoy
beautiful.
I sent you a cash app about three weeks ago for Natural High by Bloodstone
OMG! I haven't heard this since high school. Where did the time go?
Have you heard " inside and out " by the beegees ? If not not can you please react to that song . I subscribed to your channel, but can't find this reaction
You ought to do Prince International lover
He was motowns first openly gay singer
Would you please consider listening to a song by the group Lakeside called "Real Love". Thank you. ❤
Ashley truth be told the leader of the band was openly gay, one hell of a group out of Washington DC. Lead singer's name is Tony Washington😅
The ones that look like they were feminine, WERE feminine . Watch the soul train video and you'll see the lead singer's openly gay😮😮 but damn he can SANG😢
This was the 1st openly gay lead singer ever on a major label (Motown). That was not a Prince type thing.
Good morning young lady the person that is singing lead on this song his name is Tony he was male singer and he was gay and if you look at the soul train performance you will see her acting like a woman but he can sing
Yes he was was fruity😂
He was gay...as a matter of fact, he was the first openly guy in a group.
The 70’s and 80’s was just a time that being androgynous was the thing.
Tony was no down low person he was gay
The lead singer was gay and out.
Please do a review of Teddy Pendergrass singing a song called Lady it's a live concert video🔥
