The Delfonics - La-La Means I Love You| REACTION 🔥🔥🔥

[@324cmac]

You are right. We were swooning. The Delfonics are one of the many outstanding groups of the 1970s. We were so spoiled.

[@lindakilby2979]

The Delfonics were the blue light in the basement. 💙

[@lucky4724]

Or no lights 🌑😂👍👍

[@darrylj9965]

The Delfonics are legends when it comes to real music

[@M_ondo]

Such a tremendous song. This is Philly Soul. Loved this in 68 , love it as much now. DIDNT I BLOW YR MIND THIS TIME is equally as good.

[@Mystique2u]

Philly was the place to be from the 60s thru 80s. Gamble & Huff, Thom Bell & Bunny Sigler, were turning out hit after hit, after hit... I have memories that will last a life time. 🎶💖

[@kbquan]

The Delphonics, The Chi-lites, The Impressions, The Platters & my favorite, The Stylistics. These are the groups that created Silk, Troop, Hi-Five, The Force MD's, Shai & others. This is REAL Music right here. So happy you're appreciating my music and bringing back memories. Thanks Ashley.

[@ericechols6056]

Also, The Dramatics, Blue Magic, GQ, Heatwave, Tavares, Tierra! My favorite in the 70's were the Stylistics, too! 😃👍

[@PGTransformed]

Also, The Tempations, The Four Tops, Harold Melvin and The Blue Notes, The Spinners and Jackson 5!

[@Dan-mi7hn]

Stylistics rule

[@mrstatum6047]

The fact that you can appreciate it now means a lot. Blessings 🩵

[@pghjack]

One of my favorite groups. Delfonics, 5 Stairsteps, Dramatics, The Moments, The Ebonys, The Chi-lites.. Great Time for music. We had the Motown Sound, The Philly Sound !! Great !!

[@kurtadams3021]

The LEGENDARY Iconic Delfonics ❤❤❤❤

[@macobrew]

You just brought back some fond memories. I was a H.S. senior in 1968 and this song was played at my prom

[@iricaja]

If I could turn back the hands of time. Simply beautiful era. When singers brought their A-game and really sang from the heart❤

[@HerveHightower]

This is music here this song is amazing here the delfonics one of greatest groups ever.

[@CalvinDacusJr]

My all time favorite slow jam. First heard it in junior high. For a 72 year old man this is still my jam. Love it

[@araya52]

Ashley gurrrlll The Delfoniics was my favorite group to play at my famous house party!! Black light, Capricorn glow in the dark poster and I was 16 years old okay?? YESSS! I so appreciate how much you enjoy the music of my day! Brings back so many memories.

[@druellapartee2010]

You know it!😊

[@Mr.Jaquaveon2k]

You still throw parties 😏

[@DownbeatThe]

It really really was the time to be alive! ❤ You’re living it now through the music 🎶 your smile says it all!

[@knuteboy3778]

Released in 1968. This is considered the first song in that transition from the Motown sound to Philly Soul. It was Thom Bell and William Hart's first big hit and laid the groundwork for their subsequent domination of 1970's soul and r&b.

[@pnojazz]

Truth! RIP the late great Thom Bell!❤

[@larrytucker2938]

My buddy's brother was in the group so we used to get in their gigs free. Beautiful music and slow dancing was the start of many good times. 👍🏽

[@druellapartee2010]

That was the Jam when I grew up!🥰🌹

[@59elgreco]

The sound of Philly !!

[@lightshadow44]

That’s exactly how It was…decency , civil, monogamy ….everyone for the most part got along….it was beautiful and what a time to be in the world. Most of the HS sweethearts got married , raised there kids and lived forevermore

[@richardalancato4827]

Old school classics will never die and can never be touched real rnb just dose get tired of hearing

[@ValerieJohnson-nl9wu]

LIVED IT AND LOVED IT👌

[@greganderson1445]

I'm a 70's baby so was before my time, but ofcourse when it got played in movies and in my college dorm, i was hooked. Prince covered this and did it justice.

[@christarpley6861]

Now this is what you call real music

[@marcellahinton7807]

Oh you coming back with the Delfonics!!!! Good to see you Sis💫

[@Meyallok]

My favorite song of all time!

[@324cmac]

Ready or Not Here I Come and Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time are two of The Delfonics other great songs.

[@Battle_Faith-Ministries]

Beautiful love song

[@ericechols6056]

These 70's singing groups like, the Delfonics, Stylistics, Chi-lites, Dramatics, Tavares, Tierra, Blue Magic etc., was Pantie dropping, and baby making music, a popping, the world over!!! 😂👍

[@pnojazz]

I was 14 when this hit the radio. We were slowly dancing in the 9th grade prom. Those were the days!❤

[@williamjackson6705]

The name to look for on future songs is Thom Bell. He produced, co-wrote & arranged this & many other masterpieces. Groups like The Stylistics & The Spinners were also his collaborators. So many great songs & you haven't scratched the surface. I was only 10 when this was released & it's still one of my all-time favorites. Seeing that beautiful smile on your face was heart-warming.

[@lucky4724]

Those steamy 50 cents basement party's sippin on that ice cold boone's farm strawberry hill wine grinding on the wall with that one girl you had your eyes on, back when we danced cheek 2 cheek!! Ahhh the memories!! I lived it!!😎 #StoneColdClassic♨️♨️♨️💯💯

[@misterswatkins]

Ooh! Y’all had the high rent basement parties! We had the basement red light quarter parties and yes, those were the absolute best parties!!!

You need to see the video. They are amazing. This was my favorite love song in 1968. I was 13 then.

[@simonpoole2333]

The forerunners to The Stylistics. Wonderful, lush Philly soul.

[@kurtadams3021]

[@jimmiesmith5811]

And Blue Magic

[@andrewilsonjr11]

I love how you instinctively start swaying back and forth when the song starts hitting 😂 This was my grandmothers favorite song ❤❤❤

[@Fruit17-ip4vl]

This is a great request! I Love ❤️ this 🎵 song by The Delfonics! “Didn’t I (Blow Your Mind This Time)”, “I”m Sorry”, “Ready or Not Here I Come(Can’t Hide From Love)” and “Funny Feeling” are favorites! 😎👍🏽 Thom Bell produced and arranged a lot of their songs! Their songs have been used in the movie Jackie Brown with Pam Grier and Robert Forster. They are legendary! Thanks for a great reaction Ashley! 😎👏👍🏽🙌💗💗🩵🤎🧡💚💜🩷💟🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Peace! 😎

[@rbailey3309]

This was THE love song! I must worn out and replaced the "45" (recording) twice! This was one of my favorite groups!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥♥♥♥

[@ronwilliams1385]

It's funny how she is discovering these guys for the first time. Those of us who are older can appreciate her joy and appreciation. There are many great songs to go. The R&B era is the greatest era of all time for black music. This music and proven and will never die.

[@lanojdelano]

Nothing like being at the Dance an this came on an you saw you crush turn someone down to dance to start heading your way to dance with you. IT WAS A AWESOME TIME 😆

[@jemalrankin5494]

The incomparable ... Delfonics !!❤

[@Tessiefaye]

The was my favorite group and song in the mid 60's. I was the slow dance party song.

[@michaelmcgillivray1624]

Getting married after the dance? Probably not, but a little dashboard light paradise? LOL Definitely! 😂

[@mrreed2000]

Hang in there baby girl. La La La La La La La La La Means We Love You!!!

[@jimmiesmith5811]

The lead singer the late great William Hart said he came up the with idea of the song when heard his son saying la la la as a baby and he said it sounds like he saying i love you

[@donaldmartin836]

Great song that brings back so many great memories!! Thanks 🙏🏾

[@kurtadams3021]

Sweet Philly Soul ❤

[@GreggJohnson225]

La la la was all his baby could say when learning to talk. That’s where the title came from.

[@primeminister66]

🥶 song for sure

[@AuntieNina68]

Girl, I'm 55 and this was my mother's generation! Elderly now, but they were just as young and salacious as the rest of us generations😅🤣

[@kathyowens4811]

You are quite the romantic Ashley. 😁

[@reneemixon3994]

Girl, it was the red-light in the basement when this song came on. You came to the party with a perm, but you had a nappy afro when you left.

[@Charles-qm3mo]

Beautiful Reaction, you are my favorite reacter to music!

[@ellerootz6702]

[@rodneyharper2275]

Alright Ashley 😁

[@Jmackkk]

Jodeci stay

[@jamesgreenhow108]

Yes the panties were dropping frequently in the '75-'78 High school years. But with Bootsy Collins "Munchies for your love" It starts out slow and easy and as his song rhythm increased so did yours. You just had to hold it together until the climax which was chaotic. Also I am so sorry to hear you have so much going on in your personal life. I noticed you no longer wearing that large diamond ring. You are strong, beautiful with fun charm and sex appeal. Trust God to see you through.

[@ccryptotrapper6128]

Ashley can sang a lil bit

[@rynjor]

The Jackson 5 covered this song.

That's nice but here prince version nothing like it !!!

[@LorenzoConley]

That's your grandparents song

[@williamsmith8689]

Great job spinning the oldies, but still hundreds of groups/singers got little to no respect. IE Ambassadors, Unifics, Dynamics, Floaters, Garland Green, Garnet Mimms & Enchanters, The presidents just to name a few.
