THE MAIN INGRIDIENT EVERYBODY PLAYS THE FOOL REACTION

[@Imadrummin]

Harri, glad you brought out Cuba Gooding Sr. and the Aaron Neville remake. Well, I've played the fool, no exception to the rule here. This song has simply been a part of my life and helped me move on during those moments. Well done Harri and thank you so much for the reaction.

[@TheRealtor247]

Perhaps one of the greatest songs on earth not just for it's soul but for it's word's.

[@dagmar.6954]

Great R&B group from the 60's-70's. Interesting their name came from a Coca-Cola bottle. They had a lot of great songs such as "You've Been My Inspiration", "I'm So Proud", "Spinning Around (I Must Be Falling In Love)", "Just Don't Want To Be Lonely", "Rolling Down A Mountainside" etc.

[@erickent3557]

Great request! Been waiting for someone to do it! After one of my biggest, tumultuous romances ended, this was 20 years ago, this came on the radio. I can still see the road I was on in its harsh cold January light. Amazing song. Yeah, I agree, Harri, the song lets us know it's alright; we've all been there... don't be too harsh on yourself because of foolish pride. and don't judge others too harshly either, because the roles might reverse... that's a great line in the song by the way "next time around someone cries for you"

[@edwardwilliams8238]

We called it the Philadelphia sound. Other groups included Stylistics, the Spinners, the OJays and Delphonics. What a great genre of music!! I can remember listening to AM radio on my transistor radio. The very best of times🙂❤️

[@petepower4217]

Reminds me of what we Americans call the Philadelphia Sound whose hallmark, at least to me, was the use of strings and lush arrangements. A great bridge between conventional pop of the day and R & B.

The late, great Cuba Gooding, Sr. The guy could sing like a canary.

[@greybeard2280]

Drummin does it again! Man what a great group! I love R&B, and these dudes personify it! This song defines you Harri my friend, I can see you jamming to this type of music all the time

[@sheilalopez3983]

They use your heart just like a tool is the best line in the song.

[@Sean-qp8yv]

A classic, haven't heard this one for a while. Also, don't know if you're into Wham! But you should check out their song Freedom from 1984 when they were performing in China. A feel good music video too.

[@joejoesguitarinventions]

back in the day... we heard this tsunami of great music daily 🎹🎹🎹💥

[@elainemarsh3477]

I've always loved this song.."dig this."

They have another great one, “Just don’t want to be Lonely”

That's a good one, also "Happiness is Just Round the Bend" and "Rolling Down a Mountainside"

Great music is simply timeless. Love, love love this! 💕

[@suzanneprock7286]

Thanks for doing this one, Harri, I've been requesting it from everyone for a while now, one of my favorites. We've all been used before, it's not fun but we survive.

[@keithharris6442]

One of my favourite all time songs. Timeless, very good lyrics that meant a lot to me o er the years. Thanks for this one 👍

[@gh9111]

Thr 70's was a fantastic time in music.

[@BOOMNERD51]

I love this original with Cuba Gooding Sr. recorded in 1972 .R&B rcordof the year 73. I was 21 and in college. I do love Aaron Neville, but this was the original from my college days.

[@9284vr]

One of my favorites...and with a good message.

I used to cry a river (Niagra Falls?) every time I heard this part in the song "And now you cry but when you do, next time around someone cries for you.". Bwa-ha-ha!!!😭

[@brenda9140]

Just Fantastic !!!!!

[@americanaforever6725]

70’s R&B was amazingly smooth, really miss it 😢

[@michaellombard894]

The late 60s-early 70s R&B was my favorite, outstanding greatness. This is 1972 here. The Neville remake was easily 2 decades later. That's awesome as well. Still love the original more.

[@OddBall1958]

Ah! From a time when music was real! Thanks

[@becksullivan4796]

There you go! Another great song!

[@brandonious7732]

I grew up on the Aaron Neville version of this song in the eighties. A great cover.

[@krisfox3537]

You are so right harri. I listened to these songs when I was young and never paid attention to the lyrics just the music. I got older and then realize what they mean. You are correct

[@falcon215]

Amazing song and an amazing voice.

[@greybeard2280]

I don't know about you Harri, or anyone else, but I'm just a fool...lol! My wife who passed 8 years ago said she loved me the most when I was acting like a fool, made for a happy life and we was always laughing. And she loved Main Ingredient, man the little slow dances in the kitchen, living room, and bedroom with these guys in the background! Woo hoo the times we had!

[@craigaust3306]

I’m really sorry for your loss

[@greybeard2280]

@@craigaust3306 man it's no worries Craig! I got to love someone intensely for 25 years, and she left me memories to last rest of my time here. We loved music equally as much as the other, and hearing a great tune brings stellar memories, and not the sad times! Thanks for the condolences my dude!

Harri One of my favorite songs from my high school days! Love this group one of the best from back in the day. Thanks 🔥👍

[@babel232]

I learned Something new today, I used to hear this all the Time on the A.M Radio as a kid growing up in the 70's , and loved this song... but never knew the group. kind of shameful Great melodies and Lyrics and fantastic voices, They Should have more exposure! This is one of the Soul Gems of the 70's that made it a Great Decade for Music! Great Reaction Video. Don't disagree with anything You've said, and thanks for the education on the Band. Anyone saying 70's music was bad... it's because Music in the 70's was prolific, there was so much music from many genres , that there will always be good and bad.. but over all some great sounds came out of the 70's. But then again that goes for every decade of music I guess. I don't usually like most of the modern era of music, but have to admit, there are still musician and singers, still producing some good music, in spite of Autotune and canned samples.

[@nancysmith38]

Al Wilson. ‘Show and Tell’. 💕

[@suzie4417]

Philly sound 💓🥰☮️ Yes this song makes you want to dance, cry, get mad and carry on !! I have many albums from esp 60’s & 70’s for dancing & feeling good - so glad to be from this era 😊 Love your reactions to the incredible music & you’ve kept it alive for the generations discovering it thanks to you 😻🇨🇦☮️

The 70s was the greatest decade for music, ever! It seems like when the 70s left, the great music left with it. Loved your reaction. I was in 8th grade when this song came out.

[@nancysmith38]

Oh my goodness- I love the R&R/soul of this era. Please keep doing more. I suggested OJays and Al Wilson already. There are so many to explore!!!

One fantastic group shame that their know for this song they had so many great songs. Long before Cuba gooding sang lead (Donald McPherson who sadly passed away in 1971) was lead singer Just a sampling of their early songs he sang on I'm So Proud you've been my inspiration I'm better off without you Black seed keep growing. Spinning around.Take a listen to some of the songs Cuba Gooding sang as lead Dancing Shoes Happiness is just around the bend rolling down the mountainside Just don't want to be lonely and a fantastic version of The Isley Brothers Work to do. This is Just a few of their many many great records these guys are so underrated. They ran the gamut from funky to laid back mellow Sweet Soul✌️

Lead vocalist Cuba Gooding SR. (R.I.P.) hated this song, at first. Although they had quite a few great songs ( i.e...Just Don't Want to be Lonely), this was their biggest hit.

Great song and reaction Harri! Please react to the Soul classics Backfield In Motion by Mel and Tim and When I Die by Motherlode.
