The Black National heartbreak and then redemption song. Every Black family from the grandparents to the grandchildren in every generation knows this song!❤❤

[@renehicks3942]

Lenny Williams is 79 yrs old. I saw him in Charlotte NC on March 2nd. He still sounds like he did in the mid 70's. BTW ask your parents. TV did sign off before cable was in every home. After he left the Tower of Power, this was when we heard his true vocal range.

[@lornawolfington7752]

Wow, it's great to know he is still with us. Would be so great to see him in person ❤

[@R-L-I]

Black folk classic right here, this song is practically required listening to and have knowledge of in our community, that’s how revered it is!

[@bertc2314]

Rightly stated, sir.

[@rhondaatkins1776]

I'm going to make a playlist called "Black Standards"

[@chadjordan3802]

Damn near every hole in the wall club would close out the night with this song.

[@evarene07]

😁TRUTH!…As required as education in my neck of the woods

[@evarene07]

@@chadjordan3802😂”Last Call for Love”

[@bertisjordan1085]

This right here is grown folks music. What they call music today ain't even close!

[@shannonk.moorer9158]

In its day this was known as the Greatest begging song of all time. Now it's simply stellar.

[@Tansilanta]

That’s exactly what we thought when it was o the radio. We called it the greatest crying song. I was in the Army.

[@harpergras]

One of the all-time great songs...Lenny can sing anything...His vocal range has always been top notch.

[@bjdefilippo447]

Absolutely masterful.

[@jslim2255]

One of the greatest RB songs of all time!!!!

[@harpergras]

@@bjdefilippo447 True.

[@harpergras]

@@jslim2255 Yes indeed.

[@minxiv7]

I’m so glad you finally made it around to hear this classic. If you didn’t hear this growing up, you missed out! This is grown folks music right here ❤ I love how much y’all are feeling this one!!

[@bridgemanjr]

It's saddens me that musicians like this no longer exist in today's music scene from today's "artists". Love you both Amber & Jay.

[@cristobalvalladares973]

Does anyone remember when television would go off? It was different back then.

[@KenRoerden]

Oh yes. A lot of us here do.

[@jazshas]

Me too 😊

[@SharonDoucette]

I do. It was usually after the 11 o’clock movie finished.

[@LearnToRefine]

Only had about 6 or 7 channels. And after a certain hour, they were OFF

[@KenRoerden]

@@LearnToRefine We only had 4 and PBS signed off first.

[@sydneyperry7925]

As a teenager, living in the Monterey Peninsula area. Tower of Power and War were a staples. Good live music every weekend and Lenny Williams gives a masterclass with every song.

[@douglasswilliams9926]

Arguably one of the greatest love songs ever made.

[@raymondmcclain6924]

The stylistics - pieces, peek a boo, you make me feel brand new, people make the world go round

[@drew63215]

Blowing up her phone, showing up unannounced and knocking on the door is considered Stalking today...Lol.

[@yolandaminor7188]

I understand this was based off a personal experience he went through. Yes, Lenny Williams the man!!🌹

[@marskeins]

Ahahaha my mama and aunt got me into this song. One of the greatest songs ever made. Lenny sung the hell out of this song.

[@kennethedwards5265]

This song helped a lot of men back in the day . Pure old-school

[@michaelasay8587]

Nothing helping today ....well Trump will....let's hope he wins or the US is doomed even further.

[@DanalynTuthill-yl4hd]

Wow. This is amazing. Back in the day when people could really sing.

[@letitiathomas8768]

Oh y'alls faces! Beautiful to witness when those chills hit cha..love love Love it..nice pick of music..appreciate..

My God! This man SANG that song! That was an experience!

Now that's throwing every thing into a song.

[@EatMorePizzaNow]

Lenny Williams - Oh Hell Yeah!

[@akastarchild]

We knew this song with one note. ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@clutch236]

This song is never just a song - it's more like an experience...

[@poppingjaz]

Lenny brought the fire on that cut!

[@themightycelestial]

In the neighborhood that I grew up in, this was often referred to as “The Crying Song “.

[@floridamom6495]

Saw Lenny Williams live in NYC in the mid-70’s in a little underground club in the East Village. Aaaaamazing!!

[@Chefcorky]

There is a video of 3 little British boys in the back seat of a car. And this song is playing on the radio. And they are singing along with the song like they are 40 years old and had 12 heart breaks.

[@rhondaatkins1776]

I saw that a couple weeks ago! 😂

[@lawrencemoore3863]

@Chefcorky Oh yeah,that's all I could think of and I was thinking they need to see it

[@jayar7436]

Haha! Someone said their step mom must be black. Them boys were FEELING it.

[@memphobro]

Amber always has the best reactions. I love it! Lol....

[@josephscally6270]

That is what one will call a voice. Great reaction by the way. Always.

[@ckdesert]

Can't NOBODY cry a song out like Lenny!!!!❤❤💯💯

[@Friend_Of_The_Muse]

💗💗💗💗 Tower of Power. What is Hip? So Very Hard to Go. Favorites from Lenny.

Banger!

One of those songs you remember 9 months LATER 😱🤪!!!!!! Enjoy your adventures ✌️☺️❤️

Just may be the greatest love song of all time. This is also the definition of sanging.

[@sassymess7111]

70's Soul Classic.

[@derekwilson9127]

Lenny Williams is smooth like Butter that voice is so controlled you can't beat this

[@MOS650]

This song was such a big hit.

[@michaelasay8587]

It was a big hit? Maybe in the R @ B charts....but I don't remember it ..but yes it is fire 🔥

[@steelcurtainsteeler2249]

Grown folks music.... sit down and relax, sip some Bourbon and let the music flow.. Lenny's bout to tell you sumtin!

[@rodb9275]

Never heard this in my life. A M A Z I N G. It brought tears to my eyes, it was so beautiful Thank you for making me aware of this. WOW

[@kimberlyluttery8455]

Everyone in my family, from the youngest to the oldest, knows this song. Play this at the cookout and everyone's singing! 😂

[@dorothyward3234]

We would get on the dance floor when this song came on.

[@cashus68]

Lenny Williams RULES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙆‍♂

[@dalelawrence8374]

One of my all-time favorite songs. You don't just hear this song, Lenny's voice and the lyrics make you feel it. I saw Lenny a few years ago in El Paso, TX, and he can still put you in a trance and sing like this. Another one of his "newer" songs is "Sorry, I didn't know it was yo mamma". The song has some funk to it. Give it a listen if you want to hear some more Lenny.

[@michaelasay8587]

This song and he is incredible.

[@anissacorbin32]

It was Twista that used this for a song. Overnight Celebrity. He also had the hip hop violinist Miri Ben Ari playing on it.

[@rhondaatkins1776]

Kanye produced it.

[@manuelromero2128]

Steve Harvey played the track on The Kings of Comedy and the audience lost their minds. The song hit the charts in 1975 and it killed!

[@rhondaatkins1776]

I always think of that when I hear this song.

[@Ghost_Dragon_76]

One of the greatest singers ever in his time. I recommend " The Manhattans - Kiss and Say Goodbye... great song.

[@lornawolfington7752]

Ohhh, yes, oldie and a goodie ❤❤❤❤ brings back the good old days ... Feel it people in your Soul...

[@ARareCombination1]

Was My Dads All Time Favorite 😢

[@the_real_blerd2357]

The song you're thinking of is "Overnight Celebrity" by Twista (feat. Kanye West)

[@ENJvideo]

I was just about to comment this!

[@kennethsmith6367]

Scarface also used this song beautifully. The song is “Girl you know”.

[@sky1luv793]

Her reaction is hilarious. 🤣😂 Lenny got her from the first note. Lol

[@matthewtate6599]

lol

[@jefferyburton4557]

Thats what you call CLASSIC SOUL.

[@JaquelineGoodspeed]

Just good freaking music.

[@whodatguy8213]

One of the greatest songs ever sang.

[@cjtexas9646]

And the fact that Lenny Williams, as great as he is, isn't a household name should tell you about the quality of soul singers you had in the 70s. Thanks for bringing this back...

[@teewhyemm1130]

Yes, the tv used to go off at like 1 or 2 am.

[@brealtat108]

Donny Hathaway " I love you more then you'll ever know " (live version)

[@kevinsacks3185]

Yes! In fact any Donny Hathaway would be good, but especially "Where is The Love" duet with Roberta Flack

[@Ty_Winter]

And of course "A Song For You". They've listened to the original, but not Donny Hathaway's amazing cover.

[@steelheart74]

I LOVE this song!

[@rhondaatkins1776]

I've been requesting they do A Song for You

[@GoldenLady1007]

​@@kevinsacks3185 That is my JAM! 💛

[@tylerhackner9731]

Love Lenny!

Baby Maker Song of the 1970s! The man still lives AND still has the CHOPS! Dive Deeper my young brother and sister. One Love. PEACE U

[@jessearmstead2237]

I have been waiting for awhile for you guys to do this man. This is the ultimate cry for love. Lenny Williams is a one of a kind talent and this gem of a song , hands down one of the all time ballads regardless of genre ever created. It’s has layers to it like the best cake ever.

[@precious926]

Seeing this pop up was an absolute treat and I couldn't wait to watch you both discover this song. I knew that as pure music lovers this song would blow y'all away, and your reactions were priceless and so honest. You can't just listen to this song, you feel it. Watching you Amber, all I can say is...girl SAME!! LOL

[@lorrainetorres1430]

When I saw what song you both were going to react to, I was like oh oh I don't know if you all are ready for this one!!! This is grown folk music. ❤ You both were feeling it like I knew you would. 😉

[@dabrat7306]

I saw him at a club in SC when this song came out. He came down the isle singing it. I will never forget that, I could've reach out and tough him. Thanks guys, great reaction

[@1145ontop]

I've waited a long time for a reaction to this one!

[@mofun5315]

Some people would argue this is the best R&B song from the 70's, Although I would say Harold Melvin and the blue notes: I miss you.

[@karleenmoorhouse1744]

My son calls it the begging song. He loves it!

[@jaym4361]

Literally the best love song EVER!!!! and ohohohohoh is him crying because he loved this woman soooooo much😢❤

[@lordmaul3]

Both of you are reacting to one of the greatest love songs created.

[@SoloArt8250]

I’m in awe!! No words here guys…

[@raymondmcclain6924]

Force MDS - tender love, love is a house, here i go again, somebody's crying

Oh my god, this is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard in my life

[@kellz7313]

Classic!!!

[@upclose22]

Love watching reaction videos to the incredible Lenny Williams - classic/romantic piece 👏👏👏👏👏💕💕💕💕🥰

[@robmarshall9189]

Saw him sing this in concert when he opened for Earth, Wind & Fire in the late 70s.

[@blackprix]

Oh my goodness I was just listening to this via KZbin earlier today must be ESP great song

[@LMmccallL57]

No, you didn't!😮 You FINALLY got to Lenny?! Oh,my goodness! This is what I've been telling you about...the man puts his entire soul into this song, and I knew that at age seven, when it was released. This one would shut everyone up in the house and we'd all just listen, even the kids. The elders would just shake their heads and get deep into it. I'll also continue to suggest these for some more deep, meaningful soul - "No Rhyme, No Reason" by George Duke "Can I?" by David Peaston "God Bless the Child" by David Peaston (he's one of many who've made their own version of it) Jordan I wondered if you would catch that Twista sampled this his rap song, "Overnight Celebrity". You said you no longer listen to rap, but you might remember it.

[@kathyrizzi8754]

Oh yes, I was into soul music back then, love this song…beautiful👍👏👏👏💜💜🌸🌸

[@lisasreactions7150]

This Is My Favorite R&B Songs Because I'm Remember Listen to this song On Tyler Perry Madea Plays and Movies.

[@jeremyarrington9427]

the sample for twista's "overnight celebrity"

[@Jude_196]

SOOOOO GOOOD!!!

[@bertc2314]

I forgot how good Lenny was. I don't believe he received the promotion that he deserved.

[@jimmiphaze5785]

Just to let you know I'm just a white guy play love your reactions I've been a fan for like 5 or 6 years now I love all your reactions trying to listen to all kinds of music that's really good that's what you should do music is the Healer of the world keep doing a great job guys

[@ericmedina8123]

You meet Mr. Williams, one of the best voices in grown-up people's music.

[@Battle_Faith-Ministries]

Play this for your lady fellas and get ready for the best night of your life

[@jimmoore8951]

Definitely got to listen to this with your boo

[@gregdagoat2443]

The Greatest Love Song of All Time.

[@drjunebrenner5952]

You guys are so adorable together and that you are feelin' the great music from the 70's!!! 💯❤️

[@terrencehudson2767]

Twista 's. Overnight Celebrity is the song I believe you are talking about. I was really surprised on how they flipped it and sped it up, but Lenny's version will always be timeless.

[@terencewalker9215]

Nugget of knowledge for the day, he was actually crying during the recording of the song.

[@lanceflx63]

Classic Soul Music right here!

[@gwenstevens1963]

[@renee176]

YESSSSS LENNY!!❤😊

[@bloos61]

I LOVE Lenny's voice❤ Love your reactions! And I agree with you!

Legendary Lenny William ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jayar7436]

In an interview, Lenny Williams said that while recording this song, he was in tears by the time he had finished. This is one of my FAVORITE songs. He is pouring his soul out.

[@agneskurzaj]

Lenny, Lenny, Lenny. Put him and Prince on a stage live together. I would pay anything to see that. Haven't heard his sweetness in decades. Just sitting here swaying like Amber. I love his story teller songs. That time when male R&B singers told us a story, and I would fall asleep to these artists listening to WJLB out of Detroit so many years ago. These were my adult lullaby 's. Gorgeous. Big smile. Canadian Grandma Lori. C

[@Tessiefaye]

Now this is a special Jam!! This is grown folks music. Not for everybody.

[@jayar7436]

“Maybe you’ve never been in love like I’ve been in love.”

[@jeremyarrington9427]

the begging song 😂

[@msohio]

He got the girl back in real life maybe he knows something😮

[@vl1645]

With all due respect, Lenny isn't begging. He's speaking to the woman he met after his heart was broken. Listen to the song there is a transition from the woman he loved to the woman he loves now.

[@tyrongreen9294]

I discovered this song on a compilation album called Smooth Grooves. I was in awe. From start to finish this is the perfect song.

[@alfredfrazier]

I'm glad y'all finally heard this song
