The Deele - Two Occasions | REACTION

[@lindawalker812]

This song is over 30 years old and still relevant can you believe it.

[@joelgotlib29]

My feelings exactly when I first heard this tune in the early 80’s. One of the best ballads of all time!

I love that song and wanted to request that too. It's Babyface, Kevon Edmonds, the late Melvin Edmonds and K-Ci and JoJo. You wanna talk about some singin' brothas? My god! They sound amazing together!

[@laminage]

The Deele is one of many groups that didn't "make it" but someone goes off and becomes a Superstar. Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds was to The Deele, what Linda Rondstadt was to to The Stone Ponys, Olivia Newton-John was to Toomorrow (A UK Version of The Monkees) and what Elton John was to Bluesology. A burgeoning Star in the making.

[@JoanRudith]

Now you know the song Mariah referenced in We Belong Together. "Turn the dial tryna catch a break and then I hear Babyface 'I only think of you..."

[@_Shaquille_]

Babyface is such a legend man

[@prunti22]

Color me shocked and happy at the same time! I am so glad you finally reacted to this kickass song! I knew you would love it. Which is why I was one of the people to tell you to react to it after I saw your reaction to Jon B and Babyface on someone to love.

From probably one of your oldest listeners and I ain't ashamed. You keep up the excellent music your selecting.

[@joesophie90]

Darnell "Dee" Bristol comes in first with the "crazy" hair followed by Babyface, then Carlos "Satin" Greene with the hat. L.A. Reid is on the drums and Kevin "Kayo" Roberson is also in there playing what looks like the double bass. Shoot 'Em Up Movies was their follow up to this particular track and was on the same album 'Eyes Of A Stranger', which I also went mad about when it was released, but it is very different to Two Occasions - well' the video to it is. Worth a listen though. I love it!

[@rickmuscarella6837]

Wow, this song brings back memories of my high school days, great reaction

[@pdgf]

A line from this song was used and referenced by Mariah Carey in her song We Belong Together: "and then I hear Babyface: "I only think of you..." " and she sung it the way they sang it! That is how much of a musical genius Mariah Carey is! Listen to " Give You My Heart" with Toni Braxton next!

This song is officially my unofficial weed song for every 420. Almost any love ballad can be turned into a weed song.

[@kikibigbangfan3540]

Dis that jam right here 💯

[@DorianPaige00]

Members include: LA Reid, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Darnell Bristol, Kevin Roberson, Carl Greene, and Stanley Burke. Albums: Street Beat 1983, Material Thangz 1985, Eyes of a Stranger 1987, and Invitation to love 1992 which were all on the Solar label. The last albums was sans La and Face as they were doing other production work at that time. If you want to hear Babyface about 8 years before he went solo, listen to Manchild's "One tender moment." "Two Occasions" though is my all-time favorite but to do it justice you have to listen to it on a stereo and hear the bassline in the song. You haven't really heard the song yet listening over a phone. For another obscure one that is definitely worth it and an early Babyface production, try Cat Miller's "Fool in love". It's much like Karyn White's "Superman" but more gut wrenching and not one that everyone knows! Did you ever encounter a group named After 7? If you do, it includes two of Babyface's brothers and they were signed to Virgin records in 1988 sight unseen. They must be heard to be believed.

[@precious926]

So glad you did this one! Shootin Up Movies is another of their great songs. As for male R&B groups, you've done one from Boyz 2 Men but check out "MotownPhilly" and "Please Don't Go". Also After 7 featuring Babyface's brothers, "Ready or Not" is incredible!!

[@pure1769]

Glad you enjoyed this so much😁. They have another song called "Shoot em Up Movies". When I used to sing this song around my younger sister, she thought I was making it up (because the concept and chorus is so unique {and a bit silly}. Who would think to write a song about falling in love at the movies LOL). The song was (and still is) unlike anything I'd ever heard before; back when r&b was about storytelling. React to that one in the near future please.

[@missb4161]

Milestone- I care about you, it's from the soul food soundtrack. Actually the whole album. In due time-Outkast is another one of my favorites
