[@ReggieH513]

Harold Lilly speaks in cursive.... and I LOVE IT!!! I rewatched and took notes! - Thank you for inspiring DR. Lilly...

[@marquitajames2227]

Great Metaphor! (In cursive!)

[@TravantiHillMusic85]

YES!!! ALL OF THIS!!! #Speaking #InCursive 😎😂🗣📝

[@tbetters2012]

That's a perfect way to describe that

[@Jay.Write59]

Exactly! I need to hear more from him

[@DAYSOMUSIC]

Damn if you didn't nail it. Speaks in Cursive. A lost art by the way.

[@speaksakia]

Okay! New R&B money podcast standard:: Watch every episode of the people you’ve never heard of. So far, these episodes have been the best. R&B legends are hiding in plain sight. Thank you Tank & J! Now I gotta go figure out all the music Harold Lilly Jr has written. ❤

[@JakWitDaLocs]

This the one! So many gems in the episodes that’s weren’t initially on my radar! Ain’t no skips!

[@REESCOMUSIC4EVER]

This episode felt like sitting at the feet of your elders while they unlock the keys to the universe. I laughed, cried, reflected, talked to the screen, and simply listened. After watching this I think I became a better human being. Listening to Harold Lilly, Jr. speak is like Burning Sage. A Pure Soul.

[@reginabyrd8903]

Yes

[@clariseharrington8252]

Yeees

[@BrayLynoith]

The fact that he’s never done a podcast and has a speaking voice like that! He should be the king of radio!

[@MsShayT]

He needs to be an actor... like a theater actor. The dramatics were EVERYTHING! Time to re- imagine your life Mr. Lilly! Wonderful

[@Johnsonsr4]

Just by listening to him talk, you can tell Harold Lilly jr has written the most amazing songs…He’s amazing!

[@natashagt7891]

I got chills all over when “Harold said,” Just because it’s not placed doesn’t mean that it’s not suppose to place you”.

[@ctsmith9527]

When he said that I had to let that one breathe for a minute...those are sage words to carry through life and apply them where you will!!!

[@TayShawna]

You hear him??? I ran it back and recorded him say it just to remind my heart!

[@MommaBear1971]

J.Valentine tore that song up!!! Good song and memories!!!! Harold has a AUDIO READING VOICE......HELLA SMOOTH!!

[@thankugoodsir9883]

Jay Valentine is One of the best singers I know 📚

[@didntcreateahandle]

Velvety like Smokey’s.

[@lanay072891]

He’s more than a writer. He’s an Orator

[@JustNelli]

THIS❤❤

[@ToyHigh]

Bam!!!! Like an artist, he speaks a poem! A writer, a poet! This is the epitome of a songwriter! He speaks so eloquently with inflections in his voice with dramatic flair! He's a great storyteller! Gratitude for the interview! HE is such a character! However, I dig his DRAMATICS! He is wonderful! Beautiful Tank & J Valentine who was entranced with him as well!

[@rcc3music]

Kind of like Shakespeare meets the urban streets

[@KM-xt4wc]

He's like an Musical James Baldwin... Lyrical, Poetic expression of Music. Loved this episode ❤️

[@MsSmichelle1]

This episode went to another level. Harold Lilly Jr is ANOINTED. Preaching is in his blood! His passion resonated throughout the entire show. The R&B Money Podcast is truly something special! Thank you both for following what was in your hearts!

[@yourwhateverhomegirl]

Preaching is in his blood!

[@MIHI_by_Grace]

If you think he is anointed...I'm telling you he ain't nothing on his daddy God rest his soul. And his sister...absolutely touched by The Most High.

[@Tobias_R2m]

Definitely need a part 2 of Harold Lilly Jr

[@lavieafroheme730]

This man is a FANTASTIC story teller. I am so happy that I fell into this R&B Money rabbit hole. As a music fan, this podcast series is great.

[@RnBMoneyPodcast]

Thanks for listening

[@clariseharrington8252]

Facts! I'm currently in said hole and loving all the dirt!

[@TG-et9ns]

I really hate that we don't have the albums with the lyrics & credits much anymore. I read them thangs from cover to cover! That info should be added to all streaming services.

[@okashleyj]

someone ask me how many times i've watched this interview....i can quote this episode like a favorite tv show episode LOL

[@Jacqueal]

Do you guys understand the education I received from this particular episode?! I am realizing why my career had not done what I would have liked it to do for so long. I was not being a proper servant. I absolutely thank you all for this edification.

[@aprilaries164]

This comment is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@YaGurlDanaB]

Every week I appreciate this show more and more. In a world where we longer have a Video Soul, or a 106 and park. This has now become so essential to the community. We appreciate you guys! Keep it up.

[@UKLeonie]

This is the void being filled yessssssssss 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@RiRiTheGr8test]

@R&B Money Podcast, what y’all are doing out here in these KZbin streets is nothing short of amazing! Every part of the interview is engaging and y’all keep us on our toes. Harold was pristine! It was the voice for me. Naturally comedic and surely a force to be reckoned with in the industry! Y’all keep blessing us with the best every week. It’s never hard to come back. I find myself listening over and over to these episodes throughout the week. Y’all have done an amazing thing and I’m forever grateful ❤ What kind of celebration are we throwing when we hit a 100,000? Thanks for making my day and and my week, again and again! And whomever owes Harold a favor, pay this man what you owe him! He is more than deserving!

[@RnBMoneyPodcast]

You're The Best !!

[@shonikafair8642]

Im with you. I drive trucks and before i head out of town I que up an episode. The conversations are so engaging and funny. I love it here. Im R&B all day and I would love to see some of the fathers and mothers of the genre like Ron Isley,Charlie Wilson,etc. Im sure its coming which means this show WILL have longevity!

[@marlenegooding4159]

What she said! ☝🏽 I’m in total agreement!

[@realrxch]

RNB money podcast just wow. These conversations are so impactful.

[@shanau.1080]

yes i agree! It gets me through a busy work day each episode gets better and better! Love this podcast being a R&B lover it’s fascinating to learn about all that goes on in the industry and learning about legends in the music industry creating some of the Greatest hits

[@larryshields2302]

THE BEST PODCAST EPISODE OF ALL TIME! I swear man.

[@myradavis3707]

Periodt

[@OriginalIgboGoddess]

Jamie Foxx is a constant figure in everyone story

[@clariseharrington8252]

He's the truth

[@MarshallT504]

When he Named MAZE Featuring Frankie Beverly: Joy and Pain as one of the Top 5 R & B Songs, my soul got so happy. Frankie Beverly never gets the credit he deserves. It felt great hearing him mentioned!!!!!! I would love to see Frankie on this show. This interview was amazing!!!!! Dude wrote Take you out for the LEGENDARY Luther Vandross!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@djcoolcliff]

That’s Harold Singing on the hook too!!!

[@704MikeB]

I can’t believed I missed this episode. It’s the best one. Harold is that granddaddy talking in parables you don’t know you need until later in life. Never heard someone speak so theatrical before. He needs a round 2. It seems they went too fast on his beginnings. I want to know how he got into writing songs and his first one.

[@valiciadavis4911]

It literally takes me an additional 30 minutes to an hour to watch these because as soon as a song is mentioned or sang and/or that top five is mentioned, I’m headed to listen to it. Maybe i should start a R&B Money’s top five playlist 🤔

[@RnBMoneyPodcast]

OTW

[@flsunshine74]

I literally do the same thing.

[@DeepSongBuilders]

Harold is one of the G.O.A.T.s! I'm so glad y'all got him to talk on camera publicly🙌🏾. I know he took some convincing.

[@thankugoodsir9883]

Thank you 📚📚📚📚

[@ArtofMusic24]

@@thankugoodsir9883 God bless you sir. Thank you for your contributions to this culture. I’m in awe at the moment💙

[@Jay.Write59]

Favorite interview! Harold Lilly Jr is theatrical and hilarious. Genius Interview

[@dug757]

Coach Threatts did Harold a huge blessing, cause Harold could push the rock. He had good dribbling skills and a decent jumper. One of RVA greatest! I haven't seen Harold since high school, he has always been humble. Great interview!!!

[@RnBMoneyPodcast]

🏀

[@melaneyjohnson1754]

RVA!! All day!

[@MrThirdMarshall]

I said it once I’ll say it a thousand times…best podcast on the tube for the real music heads!

[@peacefulao3052]

Tank & J.Valentine in the words & harmony of the Isley Brothers, Don’t Change, Don’t Change. I enjoy how you two interview. Keep it comin’!!!

[@KendellLenice]

[@officialjerel]

Favorite episode thus far, VA BABY!!

[@jaedawriter7843]

I love the way they are highlighting songwriters.

[@yafavoriteauntie37]

The way he speaks gives me chills. Like he's preaching. His storytelling is phenomenal. This has blessed me. I feel like the offering plate should be passed around. The doors of the church are open now.

[@lovelogiq]

HOW SWAY…How!!??? How do y’all keep LEVELING UP these interviews!? Harold freakin Lilly??!! The anointed jewels dropped in this passionate convo. Priceless. The people were truly fed on this one. So keep it up fellas!

[@liberalview6729]

The crestar bank on azalea Ave, Hawthorne st, John Marshall high school. Mane that's HOW u put on for your city. RVA STAND UP!!!!!

[@keishacurry4884]

First time ever seeing Harold Lilly face on anyone’s platform. His family is so dear to my heart, but I haven’t seen him for decades. You guys were able to get him on camera 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MIHI_by_Grace]

Right. Did you go to JM too? His mother was the sweetest. And Dr. Harold Lilly Sr. was something special.

[@EssiesGurl]

I have watched this interview a few times. Mr. Lilly’s interview spoke to my essence. ❤

[@redcaddy99]

Growing up near Richmond VA I could relate so much to Harold Lilly Jr. Great episode. Tank and J Valentine are the new standard for podcasts. Making the world a better place you two.

[@julissagu]

This podcast is SO special. Watching people I have never met and learning so much about life and music is so dope. Thank you for this space

[@RnBMoneyPodcast]

Thanks for listening

[@heavenlyhairrva5769]

Harold!!!!!!! I’m so proud of you. I remember you walking around Jayem in 9th grade with a suit and a briefcase. You were destined for greatness. Congrats my friend on all your success!!

[@delouieavant9431]

I'm crying real tears because of the TRUTH and the way it was told...

[@KEMBEE319]

This guy is amazing. R&B Money really has not had many misses. These interviews of behind the scenes legends are EPIC!

[@MrDprince804]

Love This…. Another Home Town Hero….. Being in Kennedy Talent shows with Him and his group ( Guess ), Skillz,D’Angelo……Whew my generation around the city was on Fire 🔥 🔥🔥🔥

[@GreatestShow804]

I still have the "Guess" cassette. Close friends still one of my favorite songs off it..i remember Harold, Vann and LaMone all singing every day in Mr.Brooks class while I made beats on the desk..always be a good talented brother.

[@antoniomcmahon3499]

Faacts, when I tell people about Richmond they just look at me like "that city "..YES, Richmond was the central hub between Upstate and Down South. Growing up in Mosby court i was all over the city to play ball or go check out music scene somewhere. The clubs back in the day played everything, Polo Bay, Ebony Island, the Metro where I got my Rock and alternative music fix. We had the CIAA forever,etc..played ball with Skillz a dem,lol..everytine they score it was "hip hop" "hip hop"!!! The Talent shows,all dat..maaan, this guy took me back bro!

[@bybd]

PRO 🔥

[@jarrardanthony4704]

💯

[@MIHI_by_Grace]

@Fat Kat _ShaDow-BoXinG_ 😂 hey JM fam. Mr. Brooks was the best. Only teacher that could make Shakespeare interesting. Harold was always chill.

[@sarentet.3836]

Several of my favorite songs written by Mr Harold Lilly Jr and I never knew!! That's why I love this podcast💞🙏🏾🎶

[@goddess22233]

We be learning soon much

[@deejay5200]

I fell asleep twice bc Rev Harold Lilly Jr.'s voice is so velvety, smooth, and relaxing. But I stayed up to really delve into this interview, and when I say He preached. He prophesied!! He is not just a songwriter, but a poet. When he speaks, he literally tells a story w his words. He educated us on the true love of R&B. I need an audio of him speaking to rock me to sleep nightly. This was everything I never knew I needed. And Im wowwwed by all the music he has written, that we all love so. I wish I had all my old cassettes and CDs so that I could look back and put faces to the names I've read throughout my lifetime. Am I telling my age here? But, Im so fascinated to see all the ppl who have touched spaces in my heart for my love of R&B. It's the greatest gift to mankind. I thank you two gentlemen for this podcast you've laid before us. A map of music!! 💞

[@duewabailey3835]

This interview is absolutely everything!!!! Mr. Lily Jr. is most amazing!!!! Please do a part 2!!!! Tank and J are doing the thing!!!!

[@DeeDee-ik9yg]

"It would have to be me" That was the most REALEST response and I LOVED IT!😆💪🏾 This episode was very theatrical and poetetic...(snap...snap...snap...snap). I can clearly understand why he's such a beast with his pen. S/O to Tank and The Valentine once again! This podcast really is EVERYTHANG! The artists we've been introduced to, the artistry we learned about, the stories that have been shared and the epic moments we've experienced are golden...💙🏆

[@ericboisseau6215]

Love the way Tank and J let him flow with history of his journey... #knowledge

[@bluerelikk]

Thank yall for doing this pod for those of us who were raised on liner notes and learned how to read, in part, by way of album credits, lyrics, and thank yous 🎙💿

[@ramonawilson9361]

Amen 🙏🏽

[@Rubeissorude8585]

Harold Lilly, Jr. is one of the most magical, engaging beings ever. Wow. He said he wants to be felt (via his music) but, we felt him through his words and energy in this interview.

[@jasminejackson9810]

no matter how many times Tank tell this story i loveeee it!!!

[@shauntay04]

The education that is being historically documented in this podcast,leaves me speechless with every episode. And there are so many more to go! 🤯 Thank you both.

[@nicoleharris346]

This was great! Harold Lilly Jr. told his story uniquely, creatively, gracefully, amazingly, and humble. I could see and feel the divine intervention of God on his journey. The genuine connection on all people that's a part of Harold Lilly Jr. journey. It's delicious, it's amazing, it's the realness of God moving in so many lives. It gave me chills and confirmation that God would do what He said He will do. His timing is so perfect. Thank you Tank and J Valentine for a platform as R&B money that lets the world see the work, the hunger, and the teaching on artist journeys. How people were in tune with the gift of God, in the vessels they saw or heard in their presence. How God orchestrated "the moment" between people to live their blessing. How the love was created to touch the souls of so many people throughout the world. I love it! I am a fan. Continue to give me great teaching about the life of the greatest souls in R&B. Their ups and downs, the good, and the bad, the REAL life lessons that help them be who they are today. I don't see the genuine and hunger that WAS in the NOW. Too many are drunk on that E&J (envy and jealousy) that plagues the world and people are losing their lives all over the world because of it. I want to say thank you because the generation now know nothing about the work that was done to create the legends they know and has helped them along the way. Thank you, Harold Lilly Jr.,

[@Adoring1000]

This dude brings life to any story. What a phenomenal artist and musician.

[@MrBoggiejamz]

You gentlemen are on a roll.. Mike City, the legendary Babyface, Isaac Carree and now Harold Lilly Jr. Tank and J Valentine big props to you. 🔥✌🏿 Made To Love Ya song by Gerald LeVert is an awesome love song. Thank you for that one Mr. Lilly. If I were to ever marry again Made To Love Ya or Chills by Charlie Wilson would be the song.

[@MIHI_by_Grace]

One of Richmond's finest, coming straight out of JM "The joy and pride of the Northside" His greatness is a reflection of his truly blessed parents. Lord knows his mom was the absolute sweetest 🥲. If you think Harold Jr. is good his daddy was amazing. His sister is anointed too! I'm proud to know them.

[@liberalview6729]

Mane he's dropping so many gems. Im so glad somebody else from rva know. He's naming all of these Richmond landmarks. The old ukrops, crestar bank on azelia Ave, and JMU. Now im born and raised in the Southside but im just so glad somebody is putting on for our city. This is amazing

[@s.jaymes3057]
