The Ebonys - It's Forever

[@clintonwoodruff8877]

One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.

[@gloriagone1601]

Yep!

[@Goldenoldies4ever]

The crazy thing is that there are no originals here but they sound almost exactly like the record!!! Excellent replacements keeping it alive!! Love it

[@SongsMikelikes]

It's a GREAT song BUT, he ain't Bootie...by a LONG SHOT....the only note that even resembled Bootie was "How Long Am I" and that's it. Nice Try though.....

I have to put it out there.....that’s how long I’m going to be in love with her. FOREVER!! No ands an if about it. Be blessed. 🇿🇦🇺🇸

+Janice Blackburn God bless you sweetheart. thats sad but may God comfort you and give you a peace thats beyond comprehension.

[@andrejackson6381]

Terribly sorry to hear about your loss, Janice. I'm praying for you. Asking God to comfort you now and always. #KeepGoing 👐

[@brendathompson2378]

Love this song. Is he the original lead?

[@karenesimmons6258]

​@@brendathompson2378Absolutely Not. James "Booty" Tuten is the original Lead singer of the Ebony's. Booty passed away in like 1999. Our Families were from Downtown Camden NJ. They are all replacements of the original group.

[@SamGurley]

I love the Ebonys very much

[@tonparks100]

I love them 💗

[@str8muzik321]

He even lifted the melody when he begins to sing the verses. You can hear it at the beginning of both songs. Some of Trey's new stuff is okay, but this is where I need him to get back to. His voice works well over soulful samples.

[@glendaforman5037]

I think they did a great job. Even if their not the original be Ebony's group

[@kathymoreno5831]
