FUN FACT: The boys in the video (Minus "Samms"), were ACTUALLY students at Eastside High when Joe Clark was principal.and they confirmed that he REALLY made them sing in the bathroom!
Jessica Webb Yes, they were Riff first. They had a single called "If You're Serious" that I used to play all the time. Then, a few of the guys moved on to join Men of Vizion.
That is a great song, but the clip left out the best part of the scene! Joe Clark grinning at Mrs. Powers when he congratulates her and tells her "Take a bow Mrs. Powers, you've rewritten our Alma Mater!"
'' *Ooh Lord*....'' I love that part when the guy sings it!! Never judge a book by its cover!! These guys were mad talented!! On Key!! Even Joe knew it!!! One of my favorites scenes of this movie.
fair eastside, by thy side we'll stand and always praise thy name praise thy name praise thy name to heaven, yeah lend our hearts and hands to help increase thy fame oh lord the honor yeah, of old eastiside high brings forth our loyalty loyalty loyalty so cheer for dear old eastside high lead on to victory"
this makes me so happy ! being that i graduated from EHS and got the privilege of leading this song at my graduation c/o 2015 & last year's graduating c/o 2014 💜 'Once a ghosts Always a ghosts' 🎓👻 #TeamEastside #Paterson
Black, white, spanish or asian. Everyone should know this movie. I worked with a woman and she went to school when Joe Clark was teaching there in Paterson. Nobody could have done a better job than Morgan Freeman. Classic movie.
I'm changing this to "By thy side I'll stand, and always praise thy name. To ever, lend my heart and hands to help increase their faith. The honor of Jesus Christ brings forth my loyalty." - Getting that small verse tattooed in cursive on my forearm. =]
I love his reaction to the lead singer. Every time the lead singer is singing, he goes straight to him. He looks so shocked that they can sing. I genuinely feel his reaction to them singing is real and not acting.
"fair eastside, by thy side we'll stand and always praise thy name praise thy name praise thy name to heaven, yeah lend our hearts and hands to help increase thy fame oh lord the honor yeah, of old eastiside high brings forth our loyalty loyalty loyalty so cheer for dear old eastside high lead on to victory" All aboard all aboard for Eastside High. All aboard all aboard for Eastside High. All aboard all aboard for Eastside High. Get on that train.
the look on his face is PRICELESS!(It went from yeah right to ALL of yall aint soundin like THAT!)Riff was very underrated.Got caught up in that 90's singing group buzz and came and went with some of the rest.i beileve if they had some decent song writers that they would still be around(although some of them are in other groups now.last i heard dwayne best is a member of shai)
lmbao, I love this movie, the way he walks so close to them and look at their faces, its almost he couldnt believe these beautiful voices are coming from their mouths.

I'm changing this to "By thy side I'll stand, and always praise thy name. To ever, lend my heart and hands to help increase their faith. The honor of Jesus Christ brings forth my loyalty." - Getting that small verse tattooed in cursive on my forearm. =]
That look on his face when they started singing though. Gets me every time!
Loyalty loyaltyyyyyyyy!!
Man, it didn't show the part where he says he is changing the song to their version.
I love his reaction to the lead singer. Every time the lead singer is singing, he goes straight to him. He looks so shocked that they can sing. I genuinely feel his reaction to them singing is real and not acting.
Best movie ever and I love the look on the principles face when the kids start singing. What a classic!!!
Morgan Freeman is the MAN!
won't ever get old!
POWERFUL, POWERFUL DAMN POWERFUL!!! And they did it so effortlessly. That's talent folks.
