Imagine. Summertime. Your young, in your car cruising, radio on........and this song is playing..........sweet sounds of youth, a more simpler time.

[@jamesbuah6041]

This version was done.live and they sung the chorus out of sinc which makes it special. This is without doubt the best version of this song!!!!

[@dagmar.6954]

The Delfonics were an American R&B/soul vocal group & were most popular in the late 60's & early 70's. Their most famous hits include "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)", "Break Your Promise", "I'm Sorry", "Ready or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide from Love)" etc. Their songs have been used in a lot of film soundtracks.

[@jayhbiz]

One of the group members designed their costumes & Joe Jackson later hired him to design costumes for the Jackson 5

[@Chalkster1]

Wish you would have done the studio version .... sublime 👌

[@carlbaker7242]

Always a favorite. From what I heard the writer of this song , the words came from his baby The mother asked the father what do you think the baby trying to say LA LA LA , means I love you ❤.

[@RandyHall324]

Same era and vibe of a lot of Motown, but these guys were out of Philly and were among the groups that defined the Philly Soul sound. Harold Melvin and the Blue notes, the O'Jays, and the Stylistics were also among the pioneers of that sound. Hall and Oates and Todd Rundgren also came out of that tradition, and you can often hear it in a lot of their music, often referred to as "blue-eyed soul". Another bit hit for these guys was "Didn't I Blow Your Mind this Time" - you'd love it.

[@FatDaddy1966]

One of my all time faves❤ This was Philly soul at its best. Teddy P, Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes, Delfonics, BlueMagic

[@Mark-iv7np]

The Soul Survivors were a part of Philly Soul Expressway to yr Heart is great dumfounded no one has ever reacted to it

[@htim8997]

Would love to hear reactions to some Blue Magic. And also the Stylistics.

[@kdogusna77]

The Delfonics, the Chi-Lites, the Manhattans....great stuff of my youth!

[@ernesto1275]

Saw them all in the 90’s and they were still good in concert. Especially the Chi-lites

[@paulwalker9421]

William Hart was lead singer and wrote this song for the Delfonics. Falsetto is the voice your talking about. William Hart was the king of Falsetto Delfonics defined the Philly romantic soul sound.. Thank you

[@deancummings586]

What an outstanding reaction! And now I have to check out Spik Lee's "Crooklyn," thank you!

[@robertmurdock7922]

Prince does a nice version of this on Emancipation

[@thesolitaryadventurer]

Prince's cover of this is stunning.

[@webbtrekker534]

WOW! I haven't thought or heard of the Delfonics in decades. They were big in there time but like many groups were moved on when times changed. Thanks for the trip on Memory Lane!!

[@kurtadams3021]

The Genius of the LEGENDARY Iconic Mr Thom Bell. Musical Treasure

[@brittreacts]

truly

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@brittreacts Hey Britt, just FYI, this is not Motown, it is, Philly Soul. For some more great Philly Soul, please react to the love song, *"Betcha By Golly, Wow",* by The Stylistics, which reached #3 on the US Billboard Hot 100, in 1972. Either use just the audio of the studio version, or if you want a visual to react to, they were on Soul Train, click on the thumbnail of the 5 members of the group standing on the Soul Train stage wearing gold suits. The video has 1M views and is on the channel, *gomessoul.* You'll love the song, and your momma will be proud of you for reacting to it, because I just know it has to be one of her favorites!

[@elmarkothegreat]

Great Reaction to a Great song i will catch Crooklyn Thanks for the goot time watching

[@Eric4471066]

This song was not written by Smokey Robinson. The song was written by the co-founder and lead singer of the Delfonics, the late William Hart. This song did peaked at the #4 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart back in 1968. By the way, this song is not connected to Motown Records.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

Correct, it's Philly Soul.

[@awparadoxx]

Hey young Sis, The Delfonics are one of the greatest soul groups of all time! They’re not Motown! (You’ve probably been told this already) 😉 They’re from Philadelphia and this beautiful and Iconic song was written by the great Thom Bell and William Hart. (Lead vocalist of the Delfonics with that gorgeous falsetto) I have had a love affair (one sided) with William Hart since 1969! 🥰 Sadly, both William and Thom transitioned in 2022! 😔 The Delfonics have recorded continuously from the 60’s, and their catalog is amazing! Please listen to more of their great recordings (check out their performances on Soul Train and a program called “Soul”) If you’re interested I would love to share some of my favorites with you! Sharing the music keeps William’s memory alive! Blessings ❤️🙏🏽

[@pamagnolia]

Fabulous group! 1968, junior in high school…nice memories. 😊

[@kimking6036]

I love this music. Midnight train to Georgia and Kiss and say goodbye are other favorites I have

[@martyk656]

This is the real deal. Philly soul. Todd Rundgren and Daryl Hall introduced me to this thru their music.

[@brendaallen1250]

Love Crooklyn.......and this song. ❤

[@alexn.manninternetmarketeu1344]

The Delfonics is a Philadelphia group. Most songs are written by them. The backing band is The Sound of Philadelphia (TSOP).

[@lindadanzey3823]

I was there sweetie sitting in front of the television looking at Soul Train😂 fun movie!! Is definitely The Delfonics❤ la,la means I love you❤ those were the days😂

[@crsounddoctor4937]

Hey Britt, Great reaction my friend...I loved your "Ah-ha" moment when you were able to reference the movie "Crooklyn" as you recognized the chorus!!! You probably already know this, and I say this with the utmost respect for you & your husband...You are just too cute!!! Your husband is a blessed man!!! Now another huge hit song by The Delfonics is "Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time" by all means feel free to react to that one also!!! Have a blessed day too!!!

[@mustangbill65]

I don't know about your Mom..But I'm 72 and I know all about this song and the Delfonics...My era..

[@deannajones3849]

Love this one!

[@kenhayhurst374]

Sooooo much good stuff from this era. I remember a Christmas party when I was 'slow-dancing' with my future ex-wife to this tune. Takes me back to simple time. Thanks Britt.

[@richardkawucha1232]

This is nice, but listen to the studio recording version.

[@bobpittard9129]

Nicholas Cage sings this song to Tea Leoni in the movie The Family Man. It was also in The Five Heartbeats and probably other movies.

[@ChuckHackney]

This group's songs including "Didn't I" led to more slow dancing in the late 60s early 70s than any other group. Maybe one other song, My Girl....

[@frederickpando9444]

Not the Motown era. The Philly Soul era which started in the early 1970s.

[@mikeplott4817]

Great Reaction 👍🙏👣

[@rtt143]

Awesome reaction , suggestion , “ natural High” bloodstone

[@trishriley9681]

❤️

[@angelomaurizio1668]

During the late 60s, while there were many R&B artists singing protest songs not supporting the war in Vietnam, The Delfonics were one of the rare R&B groups that were mellowing things out with their sound.

[@devernmosley4421]

I saw Crooklyn a couple of times. Kool. I need you to go watch ‘Cooley High’ , you’ll love it.

[@poeronald48]

Great song of soul sound & love the words , I grew list R&B, Jazz, Soul & Rock & Roll . Thanks, Girl for sounds.

[@jokuz9133]

Beautiful music. Beautiful reaction

[@briang6815]

I first found this song because of the movie The Family Man.

[@bigdaddyeb56]

They were Part of the Philly Sound ! Not MOTOWN

[@UncleQue]

Philly Soul was some of the best music of the 70’s.

[@quinjesuis9187]

I love it ❤️‍🔥 grew up listening to that music on the radio and TV 📺

[@richardduffy3115]

The Delfonics had a lot of hits. Check out the movie 'Jackie Brown' with Pam Grier, it has a Delfonic song and the movie is fantastic, although there are a few R rated scenes. I've seen Crooklyn..good movie!! Nice reaction! 🥳

[@crowleybo]

👍

[@kurtadams3021]

Sweet Philly Soul

[@roybiggs7239]

That was Eddie Kendricks

[@Mark-iv7np]

Actually was out in 1968 one of the greatest songs ever. Loved it then still do. Not written by Smokey, written by Hart and Bell.This is Philly Soul not Motown. Didn't I Blow yr Mind in 1970 is equally as good.

[@rjb346]

For those of you who love this song, check out the version by Bob Baldwin featuring Vivian Green.

[@wandamugrage2241]

1 I love the Delfonics. and 2 I loved that movie

[@justabaker5609]

The two greatest slow dance songs EVER are this and Ooh Baby Baby by Smokey. So happy you got to Motown in your journey.

[@awparadoxx]

The Delfonics were not on Motown 😊

[@justabaker5609]

The Motown SOUND

[@smedleybutler1969]

Do the right thing is also a great movie by Spike Lee!

[@simonpoole2333]

I love the Delfonics - This is Philly soul not Motown

[@arthurlangford5861]

NOT MOTOWN!

[@taiwanwhite5762]

Ghostface Killah decided that a sample wasn't enough, so he just rapped an entire song over this song and called it Holla.

[@stb9115]

Please react to natural high by blood stone

[@MikeBTek]

Hey Britt, the version you are listening to here is not the original version. The original is much better and the lead singer William Hart hits some out of this world notes. This version is from a performance some three years later, and has original member Randy Cain replaced by Major Harris. The version you heard in Spike Lee's movie was also the original, so for even more amazement, check out the original.

[@angelaackerman8934]

This Philly Soul not Motown

[@lucky4724]

Absolutely!! TSOP🔥🔥👌

[@Radentstwo]

The studio version is by far better.

[@fiddiehacked]

Reminds me of an early 1970's song by heartthrob Bobby Sherman, La La La (If I Had You). Best to stay away from that sugar-pop tune.

[@carlhenderson7254]

You have to listen to the original.

[@carlhenderson7254]

Falsetto

[@dkroyley]

Reaction for Matisyahu- Sunshine

[@briang6815]

One Day is another good one from them too.

[@dkroyley]

@@briang6815 I just vibe with the message

[@dkroyley]

The acustic spinner version is great God is great and he created us as he wanted us to be..

[@briang6815]

@@dkroyley I don't think I've heard Sunshine, but then I didn't think I knew One Day either until I listened to it by chance last year.

[@dkroyley]

Brian G also check out Prof Tarzan

[@cliftonparago4547]

Men don't sing soprano. Men go to second tenor

[@angelaackerman8934]

Please Go listen to the original . Its much better!!

[@RepoDraghon]

You need to listen to Chuck Berry, "My Ding-a-ling"

[@6anthony8]

There is a better version by them

[@cliftonparago4547]

Men can't have a soprano voice. Men's voices are Base, Baritone, Tenor and Second Tenor. Soprano and Alto are female

[@johnurbanik1677]

"Didn't I blow your mind..." great tune by the Delfonics...you'll love it😉
