[@SJH22]

Well, when 50 years and 100M songs come out, you start to run out of options on making something "new". You should know that trends are a thing and that everyone is looking for the next new thing. Just because something is substantially different, doesn't mean that it isn't good. I'm in my mid 30s and love tons of "oldies" songs and I can also appreciate some new stuff as well. You have to expand your horizons. Rap is also explaining a lifestyle that i, and maybe yourself, haven't experienced...so it may not be right for you and that is obviously fine.

[@joehatton9790]

I feel so privileged to have lived through this fantastic musical era that produced songs as good as this. Fantastic.

I’m 66 ; and even with this life threatening sickness and unimaginable pain , I still get goose bumps every time I hear this song ! It brings me back to the 70s when I was younger and full of life . Update 5-3-23 : I should have died 18 months ago. Death was staring me in the face! But unbelievably, my body recovered. It’s as if the Almighty “undone” what the body did.

dang. You think and talk .like me.you or form the 70s.all right. All you have.said. sounds so.beautful.the 70s was.smooth.and kool. The beautiful summer's.when school was out. And hanging out with your so call friends. Picking them over your family. Running with the wrong crowd. And living stupit. But there's was good times And clean fun.bike riding.flying kites.rollerskating .like said going too the park. A good baseball game. Going too the movie's. School dances. And after school program. Or a friendly game of.one on one basketball. Jumping rope with the girls.and back yard barbecues.

Teddy's voice really is totally unique.. I've never seen or heard anyone replicate it

[@kendoggish]

The Dells ,Marvin Jr and Teddy, sounded a lot alike.

[@bennyadler5882]

Give a listen to 60/70's Dells record leads (Marvin Jr) get a listen where Teddy got his real inspiration decades ago.

[@cousineddie7898]

There will never be music like this again.

@@dianeclay7368 Your comment resonate with me. For instance, during the pandemic I assisted my friend with electronic, and other gifts from Amazon during the lock down. One day she ask me for money 💰 and when she couldn't get what she wanted, I haven't heard from her February.

Esto si es música de verdad, la época de los 70s fue la mejor, eran melodías para el alma, está es una joya, gracias a Dios viví esos tiempos y a mi edad 63 años la sigo disfrutando como si fuera la primera vez. Saludos desde Costa Rica.

Thanks guys for all of your beautiful music and Rip to those that’s gone on to heaven 🙏🙏🎉🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@monacannon6644]

OMDDDD Clicked so fast!! They Sound great! This time period had the greatest music ever. I'm so grateful I was raised up on this music. During the time when you had to really know how to sing. Music that has stood the test of time and still is relevent today. The smooth background of Harold Melvin & the Blue notes with TeddyP's golden voice is just priceless. 👍

[@silviafigueroa8813]

My whole life was with this music To bad some have already passed away

[@LornaVBetty]

Priceless indeed. Teddy P was surely a unique singer. 💝🎶🎵👏

Yes!!!!!!!👑❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘😘

[@sandrastrong2844]

Soul music is awesome love it good stuff 😍

[@GOLDENFLYWARRIOR]

The 60s had a lot of greats with MOTOWN. Teddy was one of the BEST and so was Marvin Gaye. Grew up on this music in the 60s & 70s. Real SOUL music....not pop.

[@seanmcmillan2134]

RIP Harold Melvin and Teddy Pendergrass.
