I’m a 17 year old teenage boy, listens to rap, pop all that stuff. But my grandma introduced me to this type of music. She listens to it every morning. Got good memories of waking up in the morning while she was cooking breakfast for me, hearing these type of songs from my bedroom and while eating breakfast. So sad they don’t make music like this anymore these days! But really thankful though that I’m one of the lucky ones from my generation that gets to enjoy this type of music, just because of my dear grandma ❤️

New funk and soul are out there. You just didn't grow up with the new names. Cory Wong; Vulfpeck; and others. The vocals are not always there and will NEVER be this smooth. I met someone 40 years my junior and she was a funk fan too. She is turning me on to a variety of new stuff. Some of it is powerful and some of it is ~Meh~. Just like all of the genres. Seek the funk and ye shall find it.

[@avgriffin]

they are children of the same grandfathers/mothers imo. This music deserves much adoration but most are too busy listening to even say it. This music is wonderful to me and so is rock simply cos they are unwitheld emotions. They both handle it so differently but thats why I love both so much.

Because the industry capitalised on promoting the violence in the black community through hip hop

Classic rock is white while Motown is black. Remember, these were the sixties when the southern states still had systemic segregation because of a deep hatred towards everybody who's non-white. Nowadays racism seems to be on the increase again with the blessing of a certain ex-president.

Met Billy Paul briefly late one night when he pulled in to a gas station where I was working. He was on His way to San Francisco from LA on I-5. Got out of His car and we talked while I pumped His gas. A true gentleman, soft- spoken and treated me like a friend.

Yes, that' was my Boss and Friend. He treated everyone like he knew them all his life. I truly miss him. Peace from PHILLY!!

[@scottwhitworth2023]

I think some people miss the true meaning of this song. It's not about just having an affair..it's about the vunerability in all of us . Each and every one of us could at some time on our lives have fallen from grace. The tragedy of those events is beautifully displayed here. A love hopeful yet hopelessly on a path that will no doubt end in emotional devistation...the beauty of being a weak human...not often someone can put those feelings in a song and make us feel it.

[@giacomograzzini4585]

This song has been my soudtrack in an affair that last four years with a married woman ten years older than me. It went just as you described. You don t know what love is untill you live a love that high. It has been my last story. It was 2002.

This man’s voice was so smooth and soulful to hear. This was such a beautiful ballad. The arrangement, the strings, laid back sax, the background vocals and of course Billy’s soulful vocals make this a milestone in soul music.

Muito bom

[@russellclarke3406]

An anthem of my time. I was 16 when this dropped. Instant classic. Those strings and horns. Baker, Harris and Young holding down the rhythm. Bobby Martin arranged most of the early Gamble and Huff productions but Thom Bell was my favourite. Soon after the orchestra got a name and first album: MFSB. Time passes to quickly. Bell and Martin are now gone and my heart bleeds. But we have the music, the gift that keeps giving. Love to all.

[@kevinfreels4766]

I was eleven when I first heard it. Before I went to bed one night I had been tinkering with a digital alarm clock, not realizing I had turned the alarm on. It woke me up about two thirty in the morning with this song playing. Have never forgotten it.

Soooo many young people with the freedom to express themselves created more magic than ever before. . . . or probably ever will again . Those who were there and understand when , where and how will fade away . You can cover the music , adapt it to the times , but creating it is another thing entirely . Good luck to the future generations , I wish for you what I've had .

Indeed! I count myself as tremendously lucky to have grown up in the early 60s to mid 70s. The music was pure magic.
