Can't nobody saaaang like Eddy Kane.!

+Dee Annette Correction can"t nobody sang like Eddie Kang JR!!!! lol

[@NA-du5vm]

It's actually Eddie King, but because of his southern drawl it sounds like he's saying Cain or Kane.

[@thatlsk]

Dee Annette Eddie king nigga

[@poohbear7979]

@@NA-du5vm He's saying Kang

[@cooper482011]

Kang as in King. It’s like the southern way of saying I thank he got it right - think becomes thank; sing becomes sang; river becomes riva...

[@Nanbebe7]

Awe they guy who plays Eddie always stole my heart. Such a great actor but its obvious hes had a rough life. Blessings to him!!

[@Sugarwater522]

Mr Michael Wright was in Ft Worth Texas the night I won a dance award in the late 90s when I was in high school. We saw him at a restaurant eating and we just bombarded him without any consideration that the man May have wanted to privacy At that time. however he was a gentleman who congratulated me and took a picture with me. Regardless of his private life and struggles, Michael Wright is a stand up guy in my eyes

[@lovelee1772]

Omg was here eating with anyone?

[@arthurshipman5878]

Wow the look on Leon's face when Eddie Cane took the mic said it all. Movie is a classic.

[@DaLane4real]

Leon have a funny look on his face when Michael was speaking.

[@jonmacie7581]

He still wanna sing lead

[@MeechDaPlug223]

Ant Dilla Lmao

[@cooper482011]

I caught that too. Leon (JT) had that look on his face that said “Somebody please take the microphone out of Michael’s hand.”

[@jonesfredrick94]

Michael Cooper yea that nigga a hater

[@kenrickkahn]

The inter David Ruffin started to come out..

[@myscydney]

The look on the other guys face when Eddie start talking lol hahaha

[@ashleykennyellis908]

I tear up when I see reunions like this. Watching the movie right now.

[@tankbuster72]

This guy really took on Eddie Kane in real life

[@ltd5190]

that and Sugar HIll with Snipes

[@culturemix637]

he really did

[@Savvynlady]

That was the best part of the BET Awards. one of my favorite movies is The Five Heartbeats and love watching it all the time.

[@bryancee5150]

One of my favorite movies ever!!!

[@isaiahwilliams7150]

I hate it. I prefer to watch Oliver And Company or Tyler Perry's Madea On The Run.

[@isaiahwilliams7150]

This movie is boring. Tyler Perry's Madea On The Run is more fun to watch.

[@samcircelli8413]

I'm not American, I'm Italian and I always liked and enjoyed this movie. I was fortunate to live close to Detroit and able to listen to their great music over the past 6 decades

[@JazzyJames019]

They look exactly the same for the most part. Look at Eddie Kane. Annnnnnng lol

[@nicholr2933]

Right how rude 😕

[@ronikatjones]

He was being a rude bitch. Fuck him

[@cooper482011]

Eddie King, Jr asked (told) Flash: “How does it feel to be me?” Michael Wright is raw talent. I liked his acting since The Wanderers movie (1979).

[@DemonDavis_vevo]

Watch it again last week, and playing the songs everyday since. Powerful song 🎵

[@Jjley2715]

These are legends who should never die, Thank GOD for the music and movie.

[@sherealtalk161]

I LOVE EDDIE CAIN, JR. OF THE FIVE HEARTBEATS! I truly wish you guys would do a Five Heartbeat II. This is a "Shout Out" to you Mr. Townsend. Love you all cause you all are the greatest on stage. Sherel B.

[@godmademe167]

When Michael Got the Microphone Leon Was Like "Aww Shit Here We Go Again"

[@fwdthinker]

Michael Wright sounded like he was high as hell. Townsend stepped in to stop him from embarrassing himself even more. I think they all knew based on the looks on their faces; especially Leon.

[@christiancharles2866]

Wright is a recovering addict and alcoholic. Facts

[@christiancharles2866]

Wright is still a good actor

[@christiancharles2866]

5 heartbeats

[@tinadrollinger3487]

If you listened to what he was saying he sounds very learned whether or not he's in recovery they cut him off bc the time was up.

[@queenximora1097]

EXACTLY

[@bostongeorge3420]

He is a hater for cutting eddie cane off like that...without him that whole movie would have been crap..doug a buster even in real life#jmo

[@coraguice8667]

Boston George : I don't think Robert Townsend is a Hater for cutting Miachel off their time had expired. Cora Guice

[@terrancemoss4205]

Robert Townsend is no hater because he made the movie, and he put so many Black comics on. They wanted him to say a few words because the interview was ending.

[@FiyahAblaze]

Yeah, I felt some type way because of that and Im sure Kane felt the same way.

[@jimy0803]

@Boston George Nah, he’s no hater. Without Robert Townsend, there would not have been a “Five Heartbeats”, and let’s not forget, the movie itself was told from Townsend’s character’s perspective.

[@jimy0803]

@Patrick Belk/ Kunta Kinte Townsend made the movie. Without him, there would be no movie, and it was told from his character’s perspective. And the actor’s name is Michael Wright. Eddie Cain was the character he played.

[@dorolibaugh5247]

I love that movie, I have it on dvd and have the soundtrack!! Much love to all. A heart is a house for love

[@holladolla202]

This must be my ex wifes network.....priceless

[@thrivegirl7636]

Did you see the look Robert Townsend Jr gave Leon when Leon took the mike? Then how Leon looked as Michael Wright spoke. It all seemed awkward. And Leon still thinking hes fine. Choir Boy & Dresser weren't there, but its still good to see the uncles together again. The Five Heartbeats is a multigenerational classic. Definitely in my Top 3 all time favorites.

[@starbeauty672]

Choir boy was there

[@thrivegirl7636]

​@@starbeauty672 Wow! A comment to my comment from 4 years ago. That seemed to fly by. I guess I'm having fun.😂 All of the guys still looked great. The Five Heartbeats is still a forever fave. And yes, there's our "Choir Boy" in the clip. 😊

[@angelgraham3128]

This movie is awesome! I can watch it over and over again.

[@BeBlessedBaby.Online]

Im 35 and i loved this film.. I watch it so many times, But guess what my kids watch it and there teens.. This was one of the greatest movies ever made.....After all theses years i still like it..... "It would not be a movie without all of them especially Eddie actor......

[@Amaymay1000]

IKR. I appreciated what Eddie Kane was saying. I love him.... sure yall can hang wit ole eddie cane?...yea. We sure.

[@bettywilliams9633]

Elizabeth Odom you are so right Elizabeth, he didn't have to cut Eddie off, seems like Townsend wanted all the focus on him, cuz he was about to cut Leon off

[@marshalllsmith2095]

They only get so much time to talk and he had past his limit, that's why he cut him off and they know their talk time is short and he did what he had to do. If you guy's knew that, you wouldn't be so hard on him for doing his job.

[@shill311]

Did you ever think that Michael AKA"Eddie Kane", maybe sick??? Don't make our people look bad in front of others...

[@Knqneal1]

Every time I watch movies like these I just feel sooo proud

I still have the movie. Absolutely awesome movie. I still watch it myself.

[@roberttimes6188]

Night's like this i wish rain drops would fall

[@Filmation77]

Looking back, The Five Heartbeats was the Male Equivalent of "Dreamgirls" (cause as Everybody knows Dreamgirls were essentially the Theatre and Film Version of The Supremes) I'm surprised there isn't a Five Heartbeats Musical

[@bigwyze]

The Five Heartbeats are "loosely" based on the real life group the Dells. I know I'm late as hell. Lol

[@mikex3578]

One of my favorite films of all-time!

[@skepchica]

Good Lord, Leon just steady getting more fine everyday.

[@thamaddhatter]

Leon starts clappin after Townsend snatched the mic LOL I think some things happened on the set fa real that they are not completely over. Like they say, Art does imitate Life...On another note, Mr. Wright is very well spoken & the general consensus on this thread is that Duck is wrong for cutting him off like that. But let's face it, he prolly woulda went on to include "every Kwanzaa, every Hanukkah, every Kwanzanukkahmas, every groundhog day & leap yr" LMFAO Still coulda been more professional

[@Infinitybein]

Why did I cackle

[@not4you305]

Leon couldn’t keep a straight face once Micheal got the mic...😬🙆🏾‍♀️🤭 it was a bit cringey... he was giving the face of “omg here we go”

[@elmojames5247]

I love this movie forever, especially the cast, My childhood friend OL Duke who went home, we grew up in Lafayette Gardens Bed, Sty ,I remember OL telling me he wanted to be an actor and he moved to L.A. OL Duke went on to work with Denzel, in various movies.

Heartbeats Forever

[@glst1974]

I think like a real group, there was jealousy in the group. I think they knew Michael somewhat carried this movie, just accept it instead of being petty. Still great to see them.

[@waveali5620]

Great movie. One of my favs.
