Finally! Some Angela Winbush. Please check out her solo stuff. The song "Angel" will blow you away, please make sure you watch the video. She's contained in this song. Her true vocal range is phenomenal! Wow...what a nice Christmas surprise for me. I love her voice so much...thank you for reacting to Rene and Angela.🙂

Yes Please! They were like two angels glowing in concert💥

[@LeahT6317]

Fun fact Rene was a member of the group Ollie Baba in 1978 and Angela was a background singer. While the group had one album the musicians who play on the album feature Ray Parker Jr, Billy Preston, Nathan Watts and Wah Wah Watson. Rene had a writer's credit on the track Something Special the album is on KZbin. Angela when on to have a great solo career and at one time produced and married Ronald Isley! Yes of the Isley Brothers. 😎

Also SOS Band Just The Way You Like It

[@Unklereek34]

Absolutely Agree

[@jacqueline4514]

THIS is the R&B what we listened to in Brooklyn in the early 80’s; not the “pop” stuff so much. If you want to know more of what we listened and grooved to at house parties and clubs, PLEASE react to “HEARTBEAT” by Taana Gardner; pure fire, slow killer beat 🔥

[@chrisoi559]

Dennis Edwards “Don’t Look Any Further” 🎵👍🏽

[@JeanPierreWhite]

This duo passed me by in the 70's. They are awesome!, fantastic vocals! Thanks for introducing me to a new old duo.

[@sergiorivas]

OH MY GOD! Finally! So normally I watch you guys on my Chromecast on my TV. It's a great way to watch but you can't really make a comment that way. So right after this reaction was over I got right on my laptop to write this. This was one of my jams in the 80's. I love this song. Rene & Angela have more hits but this is probably their biggest one and it doesn't disappoint. I knew you'd love it. If you really want to see what Angela can do, listen to their hit "Your Smile" she shines in that song. But this song is just so good. When it came on in the clubs EVERYONE got on the dance floor! Thank you for this! Also please, please start listening to the Time. You won't be disappointed.

[@scottvanhille5688]

I think there's a sequel called "I'll Be Bad" lol. Check out "Your Smile" "You Don't Have To Cry" "I Love You More" "My First Love" "Angel" "Imaginary Player" "Come My Way" "Save Your Love"

[@Unklereek34]

Your Smile is incredible. Watch her recent video, singing it on piano to a young lady who lost her Mother.

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

This was a big hit in '85 "When I'm good I'm bad, when I'm bad I'm better". The '70s and '80s was the time for dance music, other hits from the '80s to check out: "Keni Burke - Risin' To The Top", "Real To Reel - Love Me Like This", "SOS Band - The Finest", "Alexander O'Neal & Cherrelle - Saturday Love", "Surface - Falling In Love". There are so many great tunes from back then but these are great ones to react to.

[@Wordsmyth8]

Definitely Risin’ to the Top, with its seminal bass line. I would add to your list Oliver Cheatham’s Get Down Saturday Night.

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

@@Wordsmyth8 Thanks, a great suggestion.

[@LMmccallL57]

This is another married couple (formally married) who made a fabulous duo. *CORRECTION* - They never married, but let people think they did. After being corrected by others (thank you) 👍🏽 I did some digging. It turns out that they didn't even get along, but chose to let fans think they were good friends and more. Angela said they had a lawsuit between them, too and stopped speaking. Yes, I know she was married to Ron Isley. At least I got that right. 🙂 I remember being in high school and slow dancing to their songs. 🙂 I suggest you check out their songs... "Your Smile" "You Don't Have to Cry" Angela Winbush as a solo artist... wow! She's amazing! "Angel" "It's the Real Thing" (you may have done that one.)

Omg. This is on the list of my favorite songs. However, I recently realized she says, "When I'm at my best, there's no room to guess." Now I can't remember which WRONG lyrics I had been singing for almost 40 years!

[@TheBlack-my5yf]

Angela Winbush is an outstanding vocalist. As already stated, her solo hit "Angel" is a must listen. Side note: Angela married Ronald Isley, lead singer for the Isley Brothers. They did some songs together. Angela is also a songwriter. My favorite song written by her is "I Have Learned to Respect the Power of Love," performed by Stephanie Mills.

[@helgar791]

One of my top five R&B songs of that era. Their other hits "I Love You More" and "You Don't Have To Cry" were just almost good. However, Angela Winbush doing her solo hit "Angel" showed her to have one of the unique and spectacular voices of that era. Thanks to whoever recommended this great cut.

[@PainInTheS]

Funny....I guess you're American. 'You don't have to cry' I don't think is widely remembered here. 'Save your love (for #1')' is their other 'hit' here, although this was much for people into more not widely known rnb I guess. And of course it had Kurtis Blow on the track.

[@ruff500]

​ I Love You More" a musical masterpiece 😊

[@helgar791]

@@PainInTheS Yes, I forgot "Save Your Love", but not because I'm American, but because at my age I'm forgetful. I do indeed have all these records on 12" singles (more than one in fact), and I do still have over 2000 12" singles from that and other dance eras. But thanks for the backhanded semi-compliment. Indeed, I would suggest that I, because I know of them doing "Your Smile", and "You Don't Have To Cry", am far more aware of the deeper cuts of American R&B bands than you. But, next time, try not to insult an American about an American band, singing American songs, produced in American studio's by American engineers and producers, originally pressed in American pressing plants, using American distributors. Kind of a bad look.

[@PainInTheS]

@@helgar791 The funny thing is it wasn't meant as an insult. Oftentimes things are a hit over here and not in America and vice versa....really happens, or happened a lot. But you taking it absolutely the wrong way says more about you than me. And going on to remark thinking you know more than me hits you being American really home....it's as we know you all over the world. Not an insult but fact. So thanks for the giggles. 😄

[@helgar791]

@@PainInTheS Yes, well it came over as an insult, especially to someone that was there at the very beginnings of R&B, here in Brooklyn, NY. Let me quote you "although this (song) was much for people into more not widely known rnb I guess". That is called by any definition a passive/aggressive insult and by extension, your feeling of superiority. You seem oblivious to it, as if it were your blind spot. At best it seems a bit of chest pounding. Of course, I didn't make it part of any comment involving European's, did I? But I will say the entire passive/aggressive insult and backhanded compliment, typical of the European persona of superiority while at the same time being blind to it, says more about you than me. It's as European's are known all over the world. It's not an insult, but fact.

Woo-hoo 🎉🎉 I've been waiting for you guys to react to this one for so long, I temporarily gave up requesting it. You should listen to 'Your smile' and 'I love you more' also by them. On that note, please listen to Angela (Winbush) as a solo artist with her song 'Angel'. Her vocals will blow you away! Fun fact: she usedbto be married to Ronald Isley. One last request (unrelated to them but related to R&B): MINT CONDITION!!! Please get this R&B band into your life with 'What Kind of Man Would I be' and 'Breaking My Heart (Pretty Brown Eyes)'. You'll be happy you did! Much love from 🇨🇦!

Jay & Amber, for great 1950’s songs check out Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers "Why Do Fools Fall in Love", "Goody Goody" and “The ABC's of Love“!!! Frankie was age 13/14 when recording these doo-wop hits!! Diana Ross did a cover of “Why Do Fools Fall In Love” in 1981.

Guys you should check out "Everything We Do", Imaginary Playmates" and "Come My Way" which years later was recorded by The Isley Brothers when she was married to Ronald Isley, she also produced, played keyboard and sung backing vocals on the IB's album "Spend The Night", the title track worth a listen.

Angela Winbush is truly an amazing singer! She broke up with Rene and went solo (a lot of drama apparently), and it was good for us, because she dropped some really good hits that showcased just how good she can really sing! Like, "Your Smile", "Angel", "You Had A Good Girl".
