I graduated from BF High School in 1989. Our principal, Dr. Norman K. Spencer was our very own Joe Clark. Padlocks and chains and a bullhorn. He barked each morning at us this chant over the intercom and in the i will never forget it. "Franklin High is moving up! We've got the strength cause we are tough! Moving fast, we won't last. We do our best to pass the tests. We're number 1, we're better than the rest. We look good, act good...and SMELL Good! Franklin High, Franklin High, Franklin HIGH!" They don't breed leaders like him and Joe Clark anymore. RIP, Dr. Spencer! We heard you and believed we could and we DID!
Grew up in the 90s as a young teen and Riff, Shai, Jodeci and Boys 2 Men just to name a few were apart of my upbringing. I will forever be grateful as it was this harmonic music that gave me heart, compassion and understanding in life. Thank ya'll for your beautiful voices have blessed my life.
My mom used to work there as one of her first jobs. She worked with Mr. Clark and was always proud to be associated with the school. It was a tough school, but she was happy for the experience.
I'm surprise these guys and their singing careers weren't bigger. They sound amazing..... I love their voices and the harmonies.... This goes to show that those who can sing can sing for a lifetime without the help of Auto -Tune.....

Are they available for bookings?
To see them still together 30 years later is a testament to true friendship... INSPIRING

So they really did attend Eastside! No wonder they killed the song! And I read that the state took control of the school in '91.
But it made a great movie though. Thank you Eastside High, Riff and OP. Great harmonies!

The light skinned dude still looks the same. Good shape too. They sound like wonderful
You've noticed that too lol. They sound even better
@Stepping Onnn Doesn’t have to be him that wrote it. It’s clear as daylight that he still looks the same. 🤷🏽♀️
Said the same thing put in a little weight
He so much cuter back then
He ended up being in that group that sang the ' House Keeper's which was a hit back in the day

RIP Kenny Kelly ( lead vocalist ) , he passed away in 2016 and most recently Joe Clark

This made me so sad to see… wow he was so talented
Heartbreaking the Lead Singer passed, sounds so good. Kenny Kelly Rest peacefully in Heaven.
I am glad they got to finish the song this time! This is real music! We need more music like this today! This is absolute gold!
They are such a talented group. Thanks for watching!
Scott Silva April 13th of this year will be the 30th birthday of this scene
@@karleecraziness9216 Yeah, I was talking with Nitty over Christmas about doing something for the anniversary. Stay tuned!
Facts 💯
@@karleecraziness9216 That's right! I've seen this in the movie theater in 1989 at the age of 12! This movie was soooo deep
JESUS!!!! This literally made me cry. It would have been awesome if Morgan Freeman was there to repeat his reaction to hearing this.
For every 112, boys 2 men, there are a thousand groups just like this. That sound just as good but never got the break they deserved.
So true ❤
Omg!!! They still look and sound the same way when we were in school. I graduated with them. They all look and sound AMAZING!!!
Who do we verify from 🤔😆😂
Only thing missing is for Morgan Freeman to return and claim his role after he was shocked with him singing so well in the restroom.
You DON'T get THESE harmonies from Auto-Tune, baby!!!!!!!!
landyachtfan79 These guys are the real deal. Thanks for watching
You are ever so welcome!!!!!!
PREACH
Amen!
FACTS!!!!!! PURE RAW TALENT
Only got better with age! 🥰
30 years later still gives chills
For sure !
Man what a true blessing how these men's took a turn for the best..U all looks amazing ❤
❤
You can feel they song through your soul they have amazing voices
I swear their vocals & harmonies leave me speechless... literally breathtaking!!
Glad to see their still together after 30+ years!
Hi Nicole hope u doing ok...but how does it feel seeing these guys after thirty years???
Can you guys just re-do every single school song? Y'all got the most insane harmony.
Not everyone wants a religious sounding school song.
I was 17 years old when this movie came out. May the real Joe Clark rest in peace.🙏
I didn't know he passed
@@tyrchn18 Morgan Freeman shared the news of his passing, he died following a long illness on December 29, 2020, at the age of 83.
@@Warchild-007 He will be remembered for the legacy he left 💜

Lawd!!! My childhood lies in these vocals!!!! Feels like Eastside High is my own alma mater. They are utterly amazing!!!! #realtears
They are amazing. Thanks for watching and subscribing. Much appreciated.

When music was great, no auto tune or gimmicks. Still watching after 30yrs. Gives me chills.
This gave this old boy chills. Took me back to when I first saw the movie. Loved this song from the moment I heard it. This is gold. Straight up gold.
Me crying in 2021 remembering this beautiful school song. And I'm from Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿.
Boys mature to men and sounding even better. Awesome!!!
Eastside high...
The best Alma Mater ever written!
From a MOVIE!!💯
I agree
It’s so good to see them all alive and well and sounding the exact same! Even better ❤❤❤❤❤
It's only 3 of the original guys.
The main leader passed away couple years ago … it supposed to be 6 of them
@@pennywebster471i believe the lead is the only one that isn't the OG. The other 4 look exactly the same. The lead passed from what I understand.
This is how an alma mater should sound!
My mom used to work there as one of her first jobs. She worked with Mr. Clark and was always proud to be associated with the school. It was a tough school, but she was happy for the experience.
This is what needs to get blasted from speakers high from the mountain tops!!! Would feel glorious to wake up to this every morning. Such HIGH VIBES
I know!!
I wish that I could like this song a million times!
My GOD one of the Most beautiful harmonize songs of any time love it!!!

They probably didn't want to compromise themselves like many of their more successful peers.
Chills every single time I hear it.
These men didn't age. We about the same age and I remember this alma mater like it was mine LOL.. Great job, Riff
