Mrs. Powers doesnt get enough credit!!! To rewrite the school song and make it beautiful like that??!! Then she gave it soul and meaning!! Here's your flowers ma'am!!! 💐💐
the same is true about the music coming out in those days: New Edition, SWV, En Vogue, Babyface, Guy, Boyz II Men.. .i hated so many things about being a kid, but the soundtrack to those years was phenomenal.
IF ONLY WE HAD SCHOOL AUTHORITY AT THIS LEVEL LIKE MR. CLARK NOW AND DAYS OUR CHILDREN WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER OFF. I BET YOU HE WOULD NOT HAVE THEM DAMN CELL PHONES IN CLASS 4SURE LMMFAO. TRIBUTE AND HONOR 2 MR. MORGAN FREEMAN FOR DOING A PROFOUND JOB.
Naw you don't.. I had a real life Mr. Clark.. I didn't appreciate it at time because he was mean as hell and I was bad as hell.. but I really appreciate it on the other side of life
No doubt. That was a real RnB group called Riff singing. Notice the pun on names in the lunchroom scene when he told his chief detective to "take this Riff raff to my office", when they didn't know the school song? He knew who they were.
My stepsister at the time back when my dad was married to her mom, she actually met him years ago and got his autograph. She said that when she talked to him about his character in the movie that the part about getting slammed into the piano was actually his idea to do, and they chose to include it in the script.
He was particularly brilliant in this scene. His acting during the song is genius, and he never says a word. When he hears their harmonies and his demeanor changes from irritated & disgusted to surprised and impressed...a lot of actors would oversell that switch, but he does it perfectly. And he keeps it on that same level as walks down the line, then makes a perfect transition back to Joe Clark and marches them to the chorus room. Small things like that are what separates legends like Morgan Freeman from other great actors. There are a lot of great actors, but only one like Morgan Freeman
Principals can't be struck like the use to now, because of so many rules. Some parents would rather act out when the staff at schools tries to discipline them; instead of doing it at home. Those days when kids got paddled at school; there wasn't all of the nonsense with kids going on and kids respected their elders too
In 1989, Morgan Freeman starred in both _Lean On Me_ and _Driving Miss Daisy_. He was nominated for Best Actor in the 1990 Academy Awards for his performance in _Driving Miss Daisy_ , but lost to Daniel Day- Lewis.
He was so proud of them...the performance filled his heart with pure joy. Can hardly find a principal who has children’s best interests at heart these days.
At first it was fear but it eventually became unequivocal respect. That's what is missing in today's school systems. He fought for those kids and eventually they fought just as hard for him
I just saw this movie on BET yesterday .My 12 year old son saw this for the first time and said " Man That Principal Mean " I laughed because I grew up on this movie and everytime Mr Clark would yell I would jump but had mad respect for him at the same time .I told my son at times strong reinforcement saves lives .So he saw the unprivileged and thrown away teens reaching for success and change . What a powerful movie .Damn that Morgan Freeman so talented .
Great movie. I just heard of Joe Clark's passing a bit ago, and all I can say is, we need more principals like him in our schools nowadays. I hope his rest is peaceful, and his funeral is broadcast on live tv.
The dark skin brother reminds me of my oldest bro who passed away back in 92 from a massive heart attack at age 16 while hooping on the court....I was 8 at the time....Man I miss oldest bro.....
This man is brilliant! He has never disappointed me ever. He is a great actor. I've watched this so many times, I think I know some of the words lol! Morgan is a legend, can't be compared. Absolutely brilliant!
Anyone seen how hard Sam hit the door while coming into the class room! Also how he hit the piano and we hard the Bass notes play😂😂😂😂😂😂 #ThankYouMrClark
Thank you!!! He was a horrible administrator! So many teacher grievances would've been filed! Where was the teacher's union? I wish a principal would berate me in front of my class! 😁😁😁Nevertheless, this movie is funny as hell...
So you rather have Schools that have Resource Officers slamming black kids on the floors and walls? Or Drugs and Gangs roaming in the hallways and outside? Or teachers being pushed, and bullied by students? Principal Clark turned that School around! Just like Fathers like the Character James Evans of Good Times or Coach Carter played by Samuel Jackson or Denzel playing the Football Coach in REMEMBER THE TITANS!!! THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF YOUTH TODAY, TEACHERS CAN'T DISCIPLINE, PRINCIPLES CAN'T DISCIPLINE, PARENTS CAN'T DISCIPLINE!!! BUT YOU ARE OKAY WITH THAT WHITE POLICE OFFICER KILLING OUR BLACK YOUTH? You be crying when them kids stand before judge and they getting sentenced to a long prison term. And the school is falling?
At a young age when my mum asked me to go to the movies, only to have the opportunity to watch this movie. I didn't understand until I really understand why . Very inspirational. So many lessons to be thought in there.
Joe's not my cup of tea....loved the movie....but would hate to have him as a principal when I was in highschool....Everybody don't need that kinda tough love.....His mean azz ain't motivating me....😂🤣😂🤣
Lool my principle didn't even come out of her office, and one year there was security at every entrance and we could only leave threw the front door at lunch🤣, we even scared one of the Vice Principals off to another school it was so bad, there was even a washroom for rolling up weed, selling drugs, rolling dice, and fighting. Anytime people were arguing and someone says come to the washroom it was time to fight and you couldn't back down
This scene and the movie entirely touched home with me. I wished I had a principle who cared this much but also a father who was dedicated to my success and my future !
Those guys are the best singers on earth.The ACAPELLA when I first hard as a young kid I knew this was the BEST it was going to get and I knew nothing about music behind so young . Here I’m and I still can’t get over it!! The lyrics are beyond BEAUTIFUL and the way they sing it with such emotion and love !! They created a new genre of music(new jack swing) with ACAPELLA which is one of the hardest forms of music to sing. Man black people are GODS chosen.
Amen! Fell in love with this song when I first heard it! Love this movie! The end results were worth all that had happened before! Hats off to MORGAN FREEMAN! MORGAN REALLY NEED TO BE REWARDED FOR HIS PERFORMANCE IN THIS MOVIE! IS MRS. POWELL STILL LIVING? MRS. POWELL NEED TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR REWRITING THE SCHOOL SONG! This is the most beautiful school song that I have ever heard! HATS OFF TO MRS. POWELL AND THE CHILDREN THAT SANG THE SONG WITH SUCH PASSION THAT SHE TAUGHT THEM! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MRS. POWELL AND HER STUDENTS APPEAR BACK ON THE SCENE TO SING THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG! MAYBE SHE (POWELL) AND (MORGAN) CAN GET THEIR FLOWERS FOR DOING SUCH A MAGNIFICENT JOB ON THIS MOVIE! Thank you! P.S. IS SAM AND THE STUDENT IN THE MOVIE WHO GOT PREGNANT STILL LIVING? LOVE Y'ALL AND STAY SAFE! THANK YOU!
I remember 8th grade yr 1989 at the theater with my friends watching this movie. This was the part that we could not stop talking about afterwards 🔥🔥🔥💯. What memories
That's Right 🙋🔥🙋🔥🙋🔥 Mr. Clark wasn't no joke he got them straight up in there. His motto was to shape up or ship out 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. These schools need someone like him to turn it around now. That school song was sung so beautifully by those young men.

Yes sir❤❤❤❤. The one when they git older as well. Gosh I had the biggest crush on the second guy. Idk why I'd always go back to when he sang yeah lmbo.
Just finished looking at them singing this 30 years later and they still sound the same and they look great. Someone shared that a year ago.🔥🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for sharing. One of many fav movie.👍 Be Safe Everyone🌎😷
I feel like he did that on purpose, to see how Mrs. Powers handled pressure. She handled it well, which made Mr. Clark respect her tremendously. He's running a tight ship, and can't have weak links on his staff.

And the way Mr. Clark’s look changed when they came in w it. Like “this riff raff ain’t hittin on ish” to “wth 👀”. I love it!
i was so shocked

Yes they don't sing like this no more
30 years later I still get chills , teary eyes etc.. they’ll never make heart felt movies like this again

Man every time I here them sing this song I get chills all over. That was beautiful.
Morgan Freeman was SHOOK
@WS Taft , dang wish I was old enough to be around for that moment in the movies lol

How Morgan Freeman looked at him when he was killing those high notes had me cracking up lol. They can definitely sing!

Always wondered what happened to Riff
Lol right

No way really? R.I.P great man, great movie, sad to see 2020 took someone else.
😰🥺What??
Damn! My birthday!
Omg I didn't know that...RIP
Rip Mister Clark!
Why he slammed Sams into the door and piano....years later I'm still crying.
I always wait for that part 🤣 it always looked like Sams wanted to laugh.
Yes😂😂😂😂😂
He use to do Sams any kinda of a way 🤣🤣🤣🤣

She said that when she talked to him about his character in the movie that the part about getting slammed into the piano was actually his idea to do, and they chose to include it in the script.
That's still my favorite part!!!!! Sams tries not to laugh! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of the greatest scene in motion picture history.
I have to admit I watch this scene at least 3 times whenever I watch the movie 🥴
Period ‼️

My mouth actually dropped open when they started singing. I couldn't believe how great they sounded 😊

man I have tears in my eye when he told the music teacher congratulations you changed the school athem
Me too

@Juanita Wright 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Revisiting this for Black History Month. The way our people will remix and flip a song to the max just sings to my big black ass heart. ❤️
I mean all cultures reinvent arrangements
Amen
I so wish talent like this came back
my singing group has what you're looking for. Final Melody Official. on youtube
I wish it could
So glad we have Ariana Grande to keep music like this going with her beautiful melodies
I myself to bring this back
It never left
Morgan Freeman deserved an Oscar for his portrayal of Joe Clark here

@@newtoncountry5937 especially @1:02 😂
I miss when schools were like this our principal was just like him
Vera mickey Yes the kids had respect and love for each other . As soon as they took God and prayer out all hell broke loose 😡
These days they just shoot people
Right that part
Principals can't be struck like the use to now, because of so many rules. Some parents would rather act out when the staff at schools tries to discipline them; instead of doing it at home. Those days when kids got paddled at school; there wasn't all of the nonsense with kids going on and kids respected their elders too

Girl yes, he was tik toking before it was a thing. Lol
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
My youngest son used to fall out on da flo laughing at Sam during that part everytime. Lol
😂😂 right! When he really does in real life is insane
Biggest robbery ever. Morgan Freeman should have gotten the Oscar for Joe Clark hands down!!!!!
In 1989, Morgan Freeman starred in both _Lean On Me_ and _Driving Miss Daisy_. He was nominated for Best Actor in the 1990 Academy Awards for his performance in _Driving Miss Daisy_ , but lost to Daniel Day- Lewis.
Capital letters amen
Ikr
Morgan himself admitted that after seeing Daniel Day Lewis' performance on my left foot he couldn't hold a candle to such method acting.
Right
He was so proud of them...the performance filled his heart with pure joy. Can hardly find a principal who has children’s best interests at heart these days.
Too busy with testing
The older I get the more I appreciate this movie. A classic and one of my all time favorites.
3:10 made me cry. Mrs Powers smile was priceless!
I almost cried too lol
Same 😭
0:50 absolutely gives me chills when they hit that harmony. WOW!
We need to go back to these days when the kids respected their elders. They were all scared of Mr.Clark
At first it was fear but it eventually became unequivocal respect. That's what is missing in today's school systems. He fought for those kids and eventually they fought just as hard for him
You gotta take away child services for this era to come back.

Man I love Riff... "If you're serious" was like a priority in the slow jam tape making days!
This song has been giving me goosebumps since the 80s. Absolutely beautiful!🥰🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

PURPLE KUSH best comment
Nice one! Peace! #vote!!!!!
When the dark skin kid hit the high notes look at how joe Clark always looked back say him each time!!!!! Surprised but impressed!!!!!
Damn that Mr. Clark for playing with everyone’s emotions like that. Ms. Powers was probably thinking she was about to lose her job too. Smh
What is the title of this movie???

Man she probably crapped on herself when he yelled at her
I feel like he did that on purpose, to see how Mrs. Powers handled pressure. She handled it well, which made Mr. Clark respect her tremendously. He's running a tight ship, and can't have weak links on his staff.

2:25 so we just gonna pretend that “The” Morgan Freeman didn’t walk that boy into the door? 👀🤔😆
He hit his arm on the piano too!!
😂😂😂
And he slammed him in the piano too lol greatest movie of all time
lmfaooo
Omg I just noticed that lol 😂
This movie hit the whole entire world as it first got out
I see I’m not the only one who made the trip here after hearing about the real Joe’s death. RIP. Song still gives me chills.
The eye contact of lead songbird and Mr. Clark during the singing is tremendous.
