The first band member's voice you hear speaking in this song belongs to Wilbur Epps, who passed away yesterday. He worked for me and we became good friends outside of work. I used to love picking his brain about the famous singers he knew and performed with in his younger years. He had a hilarious story about playing in a pickup basketball game against The Jackson 5. Wilbur was a true original. His smile (which was constant) was infectious. He will be truly missed. Rest easy Wilbur Epps. Till we meet again.
OMG Belinda This beautiful classic is in its own class of its own 4SURE!!!! I'm soooooo happy I grew up on this magical sound so grateful to have lived through this era of beautiful music this kind of music will never go out of style on my playlist 😘🥰💋 The lyrics and beat just yanked ur heartstrings for decades ❤️❤️ Do U Agree??? This is what true talented sounds like 4REAL!!! What a MASTERPIECE 💯🥰😘 A trip down memory lane good ode days. I was in my twenties carefree INDEED ‼️💋❤️🥰😘🌹💫💃🎊🥳🥂😛🥵 Still listening how about February 27 2023
Baby girl, I never say 'back in the day' because this is the day, the day that you heard it, the Cheech and Chong version 'Bas'aball Jones' is also fairly amusing........... just sayin'............
I'm 61 yrs. now & this song melts my heart like it did in the 70's!!! I remember in middle school, we were young but there was love in our hearts!! CellaMadea
Most young people today are tone deaf. Like everything today they have accepted and grown up with everything not of high quality. It's a shame they never experienced real music, like this great 70's soul group. Music should uplift the spirit and inspire. The utter noise they peddle for music today is just horrendous and very destructive.
OMG Please don't leave me out 👌 This beautiful classic just moves one's soul in the right direction 4SURE!!!! I grew up on this magical sound so grateful to have lived through this era of beautiful music this kind of music will never go out of style and the lyrics that yank ur heartstrings for decades ❤️❤️ What a MASTERPIECE AMEN!!!!! John this is what true talented sounds like 💯 A trip down memory lane good ode days I was in my twenties carefree.💃🎊💥😛🔥🥳🥰💖❤️Still listening how about July 01 2022
My need for you is almost like that of a junkie. Woooow Talk about strung out. The itching in his heart. I know this feeling damn well. A heroin addict for over 22 years. Now been clean since 2007 and my wife and I are still going strong thanks to our master up above. Like their song He Made You Mine
I get that same feeling every time I hear you song beautiful music was some damn good years to I love this type of music forever God bless you Colorado love signing off
I remember a couple girls writing me that note.. I recall on one note, I tried drawing a hand that meant "ehh-so, so.." She asked me if the hand was a dinosaur, I said no-it's a hand.
I remember everytime my mother would be in the kitchen frying chicken in the cast iron pan while peeling potatoes for potatoe salad, my dad would come in the kitchen and grab my moms hand and slow dance to this song. She had the biggest afro in my city. Ohh the times. Long ass station wagon, crowded family reunions with pounds of meat grilling, 100 degrees with tank tops and bell bottom pants, sloppy kisses on the cheeks from aunts, fist to the arm from uncles, church every sunday with food after service downstairs, deacons smoking joints in the parking lot awe mann😭😭
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, the memories come flooding in ! Here in SoCal, I lived in Redondo Beach from 9/70, to 12/74, and every Wednesday evening & Saturday late AM, I was running the court at The Inglewood YMCA, with the guys . This song was huge, here in LA, on KHJ--------KRLA-----KDAY-------KOLA, just to name a few ! This song, & the gorgeous ladies of " The Train " ! I NEVER, EVER, missed " The Train " !! Finest women on planet earth ! ---------------MJL, 76 y/o
Ralph Eskridge is still singing with local bands in Minneapolis and St paul. He is in the middle of this picture. His high falsetto voice is just as smooth as it was when he was in High School. He coined the phrase "Love Jones" which will be in our lexicon forever. These young men from Chicago did their thing.
Sheik by Gianne ...Yes when Chicago was a place where good things could be done . Now a wasteland of mayhem , murder and danger because people hate black People because of the most beautiful soulful people we are . We have to have music live this deep in us . It would be no way to live in a America without ‘ Our Legacy ‘ of the richest WORLDWIDE !
At that time back then, in the shadows of the drug scene, when addicts badly needed a "Fix" they would say that they were Jonesin'. So The Brighter Side of Darkness (vocal group) used this analogy "Love Jones" making a reference to being love sick.
Early 70's especially! 1970 - 1974? KILLER ERA!!!!! Look at any Black music chart back then...NO ONE sounded the same. It was a murderers row. Brilliant lyrics, real musicians playing, etc. Sigh....
Believe me, those memories are so cherished and missed..We our people need to get back real with themselves and their hearts, nothing to be ashamed about taking a chance on love, as the saying goes, " It is better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all"...
Memories ... When I was in high school. I had a boyfriend, we had only been.together.a month. We lived far from each other and we both could only see each other at school. I was in class.and an announcement from school office came across class intercom This message is for Karen .C .. from Ruben and Love Jones began playing..I will never forget that feeling, that was the only time the school allowed this type of dedication. From that day on everyone that walked by me would sing " Love Jones. I got a love jones' We stayed together until I moved out of state.I will never forget him. This song is so special 💞💞🎶
This song expresses what a person will experience when they are madly, head over heels in love. A Love Jones can be a man or woman. The heart doesn't discriminate. Be true to your emotions and share what you are feeling. If not, somebody else will. Enough said.
Music like this will always be remembered and appreciated by real music lovers. So relatable because I think we all have had a Love Jones at least once in our life.
This is real music from the hart , I was a young kid when this came out i had too older brothers and sisters they had all the music.. Saturday nights in my house was talent show and we all had our favorite song to sing. That was the best music ever.
The production is next level...the horns, drums, strings...etc, vocal harmonies, the timing of it all...all top notch, pulls you in and really makes you "feel" the song!
I love that boy with the high voice. He sounds adorable. "I know I failed, huh... a test paper? With nothin' but my name on it?? (giggle!! giggle!!) That's too damn cute. I love that part!!! (laugh!!)
I learned all of these Amazing songs during my Lowrider days....cruisin' 24th & Mission in the 80's.....so thankful.....my All Time Favorite Music Now & Forever......I was 16yrs old...born in 1964.....wish I could have seen groups like this perform.....
Wow the memories just flood back im 10 years old living in Bushwick Brooklyn Brings back tons of memories hearing this blasting from people apartments.
Great song. Reminds me of my older sister who passed away recently. She had great taste in music and loved this song. She will be greatly missed. Love You Sister .R.I.P.
-I wonder how many 40+ year olds are walking around now, who were made, back when their parents were teens & 20's themselves & had slow jams like this playing back then?
Savadorason1 Al Green, Barry White, Isley Brothers, Marvin Gaye, Smokey, Stevie......I don't think ppl had time to get outta bed and make it to work bcuz of these crooners. 73'-74' had to provide an uptick on Gen-X babies!
I REMEMBER WATCHING THEM PRACTICE THIS SONG ,THEN WATCHING THEM PERFORM IT AT THE CLUB ON 69TH STREET OFF OF THROOP IN CHICAGO. THE BAND, WAS AHEAD OF THEIR TIME. WHERE ARE THEY NOW?????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My grammar school friend Mark Davis played keyboard and borrowed my ampeg b-15-n and went on the road with this group and I have not heard from him since 1972 "friendship"
Man I live in Houston Texas back in the late sixties most of all the seventies if you're not feeling this song today you got no heart some of the best R&b one the best R&b songs ever
Yvonne Rios ...I agree I lived in this golden age of rich music . We did not have nothing else ! Material things was not a issue , we never longed for it being never exposed to us . One toy for Christmas was something very special . A special cake made was a Phenomenon. Far to much is taken for granted today and just not appreciated . By a bunch of ingratitude when individuals don’t work to understand the value in receiving something that cost others blood sweat and tears of hard labor . But we had many dates in the rain 📀it may sound funny , but we had to go outside in the rain lol ,going somewhere to play our records . Our greatest literary and Drama teachers. It was what life gave us .We listened , we still do 🙂
I love 70's slow jams! I was a teenager at that time so it wasn't until I was grown that I realized how much 70's slow jams seduced me. I mean I"m in love with love because of songs like this. You can just feel it from the heart.
I STILL have the original song on 45 and I have them on CD.Everyone in my High School was singing this song when it came out!! Wonderful song from a great group.Some songs just never get old as far as I’m concerned. This is one of them!! ❤️
Ain't nothing like those 70s songs back in the day. Especially our Soul 💔 songs when we had deep feelings about the one we loved. Oh junior high school days.
When I listen to today's popular music, I wonder why it doesn't grab me like 70s classic music. Then I listen to this jam and it hits me - today's music doesn't have the beautiful intro and storytelling like this one has. The Chi-Lites were famous for that style also. I miss this shit!
I remember❤😮😊😢this as a teenager and it yet moved me today. Take care but l never knew the group name!! ❤Much live my condolences to the soloist of. Love. Jones. Nia Long was excellent in the movie !!!! In the pouring rain ........m L. O. V. E. J. O. N. E. S!!!! Happy. New. Years!!! To whom it may all concern!!! Rhonda. Prater Merced. California!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹💌💌🎚️🎚️👩🏾🦱👩🏾🦱👩🏾🦱👩🏾🦱👩🏾🦱👩🏾🦱🌃🏙️🌉🌌👁️Gotta Love. Jones for you!!!!
Insane a song written by my uncle Ralph (Top middle in the pic) has had such an impact over the past nearly 50 years. He's so mild mannered these days its incredible the influence he has had on so many lives.
I had forgot about this old classic, but I did put out this old school remix of The Moments over new school beats check it out. ruclips.net/video/HOjNwWKQYE0/видео.html&spfreload=10
Nae Lewis This was a really nice song back in the day. It was right on time wgen u were going throughnyour own puberty as a young teenager stage. Having a boy to sleep a note to and ask do u like him yes or no. Nice young music back in those good old day's....
Boy, does thissss bring back memories!! Funny, how you can hear the very 1st note of a song, & instantly, you're transported back to a particular time in your life! You feel, see, taste, & touch the memory like it's tangible!💃🏽💔😢 #Memories
"But you see,I not only want you baby, but I need you.And the need is so strong, it's almost like that of a junkie." Ooooh weeee,this is my part.And I know how it feels to be that junkie for over 22 years.But now,the love for my life,my wife,and boys with the glory of God.This is all the high I need.🙏
Another blast from Chicago's past. Pay attention; say what's on your mind to try to get the one you want. You may be surprised. Especially if you have a real true Love Jones. The worse thing to come from it is a friendship.
+Leo55BabyBoomer But in this day and age, you had better just speak your man once or twice, or the worse thing you might get is a harassment charge. Back in the day, a guy could chase a girl, but not anymore.
Who's here in May 2024. This is real music. 💖
Just you and me baby (lol)
I just stumbled upon this song as a result of hearing it on the radio. It sounds real good. ❤
I’m a 70s teenager. Love this. Today , music is awful
@@natalee217 You got that right.
They can't touch these classic slow jams like back in the day!!!
The first band member's voice you hear speaking in this song belongs to Wilbur Epps, who passed away yesterday. He worked for me and we became good friends outside of work. I used to love picking his brain about the famous singers he knew and performed with in his younger years. He had a hilarious story about playing in a pickup basketball game against The Jackson 5. Wilbur was a true original. His smile (which was constant) was infectious. He will be truly missed. Rest easy Wilbur Epps. Till we meet again.
Voices of pure love
Wow this song was just on my mind thank you so much for sharing and I pray he up in heaven singing and rapping to God cuz this song will live forever
Rip to Wilbur Epps
Ironic story, also, as Cheech & Chong parodied this song in their Basketball Jones.
Thanks for this great information. R.I.P. Its always very interesting to hear how the rest of a person's life went after the fame has gone.
I remember being walked up on the floor at my school dance ,slow dancing off of this classic and my husband and I are still dancing to it in 2024😍😍😍
❤😂made me remember
What a blessing ❤
As X
I got a love Jones the first time my lips kissed my knight n shining Armor Mr. Daniel Casarez aka Danny Boy from Full. Tokers Town may my baby be RIP
Sometimes the comments section will make your day right. May GOD keep BLESSING you and your Family.
Still sounds good in 2023! Remembering this song from back in the day.❤️

Baby girl, I never say 'back in the day' because this is the day, the day that you heard it, the Cheech and Chong version 'Bas'aball Jones' is also fairly amusing........... just sayin'............
I'm stuck in the 70s also ❤😊 👏🏽
That's when a black man loved so deep, we got to get back to that kind of love for our black Queens.
Treat a woman like a queen,
and She'll treat You
like a Peasant.
The Juice Is NOT Worth The Squeeze anymore.
Black old school jams will always be the best music ever given to this world.
EVER!!! 🎶🖤🎶💕
For Eternity.
I'm 61 yrs. now & this song melts my heart like it did in the 70's!!! I remember in middle school, we were young but there was love in our hearts!! CellaMadea
FACTS 💯
They rarely played the long version on the radio but this was a killer back in the day
Antonio Castro the song better than the Jones then Jackson. 5 he soundlike Michel

I remember a couple girls writing me that note.. I recall on one note, I tried drawing a hand that meant "ehh-so, so.." She asked me if the hand was a dinosaur, I said no-it's a hand.
I got a few and i wrote a few of those
This is my type of music! I positively love old-school music. Mentally, I'm stuck in the '70's-LOL!
M WIS Lol. the '80's were awesome, also. :)
Hahaha, I'm stuck in the 70's as well. Best era for raregroovesoul and jazz funk!
Tracie Rivera ...THATS KOOL😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
I thought I was the only one! lol I was born in 1978, wish it was earlier to experience all these dope groups Live in their Prime!
The 70s had some of the best music EWF, Commodores, Isley Brothers, Temptations etc.

I went to elementary school with his younger brother.

I was sixteen years old when I first heard this song. The 70s was the best years in this lifetime.
James Nichols ...The very best
They were great times !

Yes they were..I was 14 or 15 and me and friends sang this song all the time..
I miss you vince i only wanted u but we never had time for us but wen u do ill always be waiting for u
I wish I could travel back in time to when music like this was the order of the day and life was simple.
Yeah Mike but, we'd have to get drunk. Remember, a dollern' a dime would buy the wine back then.
That lil boy voice is amazing
You can travel back into time Mike just listen to the song and let it take you back
Believe me, those memories are so cherished and missed..We our people need to get back real with themselves and their hearts, nothing to be ashamed about taking a chance on love, as the saying goes, " It is better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all"...

Hello Karen, did you ever talk after you left state?
This song expresses what a person will experience when they are madly, head over heels in love. A Love Jones can be a man or woman. The heart doesn't discriminate. Be true to your emotions and share what you are feeling. If not, somebody else will. Enough said.
Preach
THE M&M MAN. BB
Hey
CT cu
An old white man loved this when it came out, still listening , this song is for all peoples!!!
One of the most under rated great songs of the 70's. Brings back memories of Jr. High School In West L.A. I still shed a tear everytime I hear it.
In awe, at a loss of words, all I can say music back then had real meaning.
It sure did !
Now people are bragging about how much money they have
You can say that again.
When little man hits those notes oooolisten,please listen, I've gotta love jones!!
YES A TEST PAPER WITH NOTHING BUT MY NAME IT I GOT A LOVE JONES
Sheila you've put it in perspective . . .
Little man sounds just like young Michael Jackson!!!

You would sound like a Total Simp.
Beautiful music and harmony!
Nothing like playing slow jams and some slow dancing to the best music ever created by the baddest Brothers around.
Wow the memories just flood back im 10 years old living in Bushwick Brooklyn Brings back tons of memories hearing this blasting from people apartments.

Grew up in Chicago in those days was also in High School really love those days with those Chi-Town Sounds!🎵🎶🎵🎶
I love this song!
I STILL have the original song on 45 and I have them on CD.Everyone in my High School was singing this song when it came out!! Wonderful song from a great group.Some songs just never get old as far as I’m concerned. This is one of them!! ❤️
Can you upload 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Songs like these can tear your heart out, knowing ones that you felt like this about are no longer here.
This is how we do a slow jam Chicago style.
I hear you
I thought this was a DC Group!
Ain't nothing like those 70s songs back in the day. Especially our Soul 💔 songs when we had deep feelings about the one we loved. Oh junior high school days.
God this takes me back! I wanna go back!
Me too
i wanna go back to
A superb classic track.
They don't make music like this any more. Great Harmony. I didn't realize the one singer was so young.
Darryl Lamont was 12 years old!!!
I remember seeing them on Soultrain 73
still have my 45.it very true!!💕👍
me to
When I listen to today's popular music, I wonder why it doesn't grab me like 70s classic music. Then I listen to this jam and it hits me - today's music doesn't have the beautiful intro and storytelling like this one has. The Chi-Lites were famous for that style also. I miss this shit!
Still great 47 years later in 2020!
This Song has soul that cant be found in music today
This just brought back so many memories... sometimes I long for those old days...
I remember the summer of 1973/ WGRT RADIO CHGO. played this all over the air. GREAT SOUND!

Insane a song written by my uncle Ralph (Top middle in the pic) has had such an impact over the past nearly 50 years. He's so mild mannered these days its incredible the influence he has had on so many lives.
What are the lyrics to the background VOCALS?

I had forgot about this old classic, but I did put out this old school remix of The Moments over new school beats check it out. ruclips.net/video/HOjNwWKQYE0/видео.html&spfreload=10
Nae Lewis This was a really nice song back in the day. It was right on time wgen u were going throughnyour own puberty as a young teenager stage. Having a boy to sleep a note to and ask do u like him yes or no. Nice young music back in those good old day's....
Boy, does thissss bring back memories!! Funny, how you can hear the very 1st note of a song, & instantly, you're transported back to a particular time in your life! You feel, see, taste, & touch the memory like it's tangible!💃🏽💔😢 #Memories
remember the red light basement parties ? teenage love was so wonderful...
Are you out there baby girl ?
Blue lights too
this take me back to my teenage years when the music was real and pure and I played this over and over again cause I had a crush on somebody.
2020 still jamming this..
2022 over here 🔥🔥🔥🔥😎
One of the greatest slow jams ever and a timeless catch phrase. Respect
What's happening baby? Did you miss me? Well now I'm back and I'm blasting your song: Love Jones.
How old is that kid? He looks like Michael Jackson.
+Sandra Dee Lawson. Sounds like mike too
Sandra Dee Lawson. darryl lamont he was 12
Smooth rap
"A test paper, with nothing but my name on it?!"
"But you see,I not only want you baby, but I need you.And the need is so strong, it's almost like that of a junkie." Ooooh weeee,this is my part.And I know how it feels to be that junkie for over 22 years.But now,the love for my life,my wife,and boys with the glory of God.This is all the high I need.🙏
Man, this touches my heart. Songs can say the words for u that u may have a hard time finding to say to someone.
HeruOfKemet i heard that
Man how could I forget this song " classic jam "
This song is amazing ❤
I've had about two love Jones and I am still with the second one this very moment being thankful for that always Mr Pop
Another blast from Chicago's past. Pay attention; say what's on your mind to try to get the one you want. You may be surprised. Especially if you have a real true Love Jones. The worse thing to come from it is a friendship.
Truth......
+Gino Perez Indeed!
+Gino Perez TRUE
+Leo55BabyBoomer But in this day and age, you had better just speak your man once or twice, or the worse thing you might get is a harassment charge. Back in the day, a guy could chase a girl, but not anymore.
Sad but True SMDH
