The Most Under-Rated Group Of The 70s? | The Untold Truth Of The Moments aka Ray Goodman & Brown

[@OSWALDRelynolda-du2yw]

How could you forget SEXY MAMA 1973?

[@Musicradio77Network]

“Sexy Mama” was the song that never mentioned in this video, and so does “Sho Nuff Boogie” featuring Sylvia Robinson.

[@goldenlady1213]

I absolutely agree .... they also forgot HEAVIN IN THE RAIN

[@vickiewalton4174]

I wondered that too

[@darrentaylor5455]

And "Baby Let's Make Love Tonight"

[@chiquitalove9944]

AND ALTHOUGH THEY'RE NOT MENTIONED SEXY MAMA IT WAS/IS A EVERLASTING SONG EVEN NOW IN 2024 IT'S A DAMN GOOD SONG HY THE GROUP

[@nicolesherman8974]

“You must be a special ladyyyy” 💃🏾

[@victorm.photovic9983]

Always loved the way they harmonized in this song, NOBODY does this anymore and that’s a shame.

[@user-vq9kn2ix4n]

("Special Lady!!!!,") HANDS DOWN!!!! 🤗

[@cynthiashields5341]

"Look At Me , I'm In Love"

[@Musicradio77Network]

There were two versions of “Look At Me, I’m In Love”, the French version, and another version from Retta Young which was featured on a soundtrack to a long lost film called “Patty”.

[@seattle7610]

Harry Ray wrote that song

[@theramden6025]

Originally The Moments is how I remember seeing them. Love On A Two Way Street was the jam.

[@anthonystewart4552]

that was the High Scoold Jam back in the day and also the Talent show Jam for those who had the voice

[@joanneburrell8246]

My Favorite Song Is Look At Me I'm In Love

[@justnyla2780]

Did u know the also made it in a French Version?

[@justnyla2780]

Here it is? Look At Me I'm In Love (FRENCH VERSION) kzbin.info/www/bejne/p16Qp6Vvp9ZgpLssi=VDVu8vFM_hYPz2Fa

[@AngelaWilliams-cq1wg]

I love the french version, so sweet!!!!!

[@delesha3983]

My favorite was "Happy Anniversary"...I was a teen when that song came out☺☺

[@kennyblackbird5674]

Y'all youngins don't know about their regional mega hit called "Girls" that they did with the Whatnuats back in 1975!

[@chiquitalove9944]

OH YES AND I DO REMEMBER THAT ONE AND LATER HARRY RAY DID A FRENCH VERSION OF THE SONG

[@mannyfrencha5736]

Inside of You👏🔥

[@sandramorris420]

My Favorite song by The Moments is Not On The Outside/ Ray Goodman & Brown, Pool of Love.

[@joycewilliams7393]

The original ones were just awesome. Harry Ray's voice such a beautiful tone tenor. The three of them together were just majestic!

[@SuperCoolmack]

My favorite song by Ray, Goodman & Brown is "Inside Of You".

[@paytonbf1]

I remember The Moments aka Ray, Goodman and Brown. My favorite song when they were known as The Moments is "Love on A Two-Way Street". My favorite song as Ray, Goodman and Brown is "Special Lady". I agree with the fact that they were a very underrated R&B vocal group. And it goes to show how even if you have the talent, that you can still get caught up on the ugly side of the music business.

[@plussize_jma3187]

Special lady is my favorite sing....I have it on my play list

[@sapphiresbluenotes5540]

There was nothing better or finer than Ray, Goodman and Brown. Happy anniversary and Special Lady top the charts, for those memorable house parties. ❤❤❤🎉😊

[@rhondadowell8046]

Love this group!!! ❤ Look At Me I’m In Love ❤️ Inside of You ❤

[@ADQue-vq7tb]

"With You" Harry Ray's masterpiece.

[@autumnsmom1117]

The Moments or Ray, Goodman & Brown had some cuts! They were smooth. My favorite songs by them were "Look At Me," "Love On A Two Way Street," "Special Lady," and "Happy Anniversary." Didn't know they provided background vocals for Alicia Keys on her recording of, "You Don't Know My Name." Thanks for their story.

[@marcussampson6336]

Alicia Keys knew those background vocals would best be done by none other than the guys that sang "Hey Girl, What Is Your Name" She was very smart, knowing that many of us would know, it was only fitting. Peace Out

[@bertc2314]

She took them on tour after that background performance. She knew she had found gold. This was during a lull in their career. They always gave her a shout-out.

[@tonycampbell9626]

I had no idea they had such a large catalog. Your video is making go back to listen to them all over again.

[@cynthiaduke4913]

Such beautiful voices! I love the Moments their music is legendary!

[@Musicradio77Network]

As the story goes, at 1:30, Stang was part of All Platinum since Joe and Sylvia Robinson formed All Platinum in 1968. In addition to the All Platinum family of labels, Stang came first, and then Turbo and Vibration. After All Platinum closed down, she formed Sugarhill Records in 1979 and their very first hip-hop single was “Rapper’s Delight” by the Sugarhill Gang, and the rest was history.

[@PaxtonGay-ij7sq]

Mannnnnn, this should be GOOD! C'mon Sexy Mama still to this Day, is one of my go to Jams.

[@michaelmitchell5098]

Yeah one of the sexiest songs made in the 1970s.

[@ladycharliestallworth2280]

My favorite song, Sexy Mama then Love on a two way street. There are lot more of their songs that I love too.

[@sexymama1966]

Their mega hit, "Love On A Two Way Street" wins with me😊. It is alleged that Lezlie Valentine co-wrote "Love...". I hope she gets credited for her portion of the song. I'm also a fan of "Look At Me, I'm In Love" (lush strings), and their cover version of The Ink Spots song, "If I Didn't Care".

[@WashinRob]

She did the original Lezlie Valentine. Just her voice

[@jeffgrayson7639]

Lezli wrote it and sang it first.

[@genethanthony5977]

I love this group I grew up listening to all there songs ❤️🎤🎤🎤🎶

[@marvinwhittaker]

"Sexy Mama" "Love On A Two Way Street" "Look At Me, I'm In Love" "Not On The Outside" and many more.

[@kebinlcarr7481]

One of my favorite groups!! I met Al Goodman in a restaurant years ago. A Cool and friendly guy!

[@valerie4501]

The Moments and later renamed Ray, Goodman and Brown were one of the most talented R and B trios of the 60s and 70s The greatest hits i loved Not on the Outside, Love on a two Way Street, Sexy Mama, Special Lady, Happy Anniversary, the beautiful songs they recorded were BREATH TAKING🎉😊they were indeed underrated 😮 but very LOVED🥰🥰🥰💥💯💯.

[@musicbrian]

Shame there is no mention of their UK top 20 hits. Girls, Dolly My Love and Jack In The Box. I think the last two were recorded in London and both were very different mixes than what appeared on the US album.

[@NathanielKeith-pc6xg]

My father Tommy Keith wrote song for the moment he arrange and produced jak Jack in the box and and seven days and Dolly my love I'm his son Nate Keith sr

[@dwainwilder7337]

So interesting to know. While I have so many memories with their songs, I have a lot of favorites. What is played and shared mostly is “Happy Anniversary”. I play it every year for mine and I send it to many friends every year. The Moments/Ray, Goodman & Brown are cemented into the soundtrack of my life!

[@BlackGable2u2]

I had the pleasure of meeting them at All Platinum Records. I was there quite often & met a lot of the artists on the label.

Tremendous group. Some of my favorites from them, 'Girl I'm Gonna Miss You, When You're Gone',, 'This Old House' , "What is Your Name', 'We've Got Tonight', ... They have great songs that were never released as singles...

[@user-wd1fk4qt2w]

The Moments 'Love on a Two Way Street' is the melodic introduction to Jay Z's New York, NY. I hope it's properly credited.

[@angelafisher299]

Girl I'm Gonna Miss You is a beautiful song. My mom bought that 45 for me because she thought I would like it. Like I said, beautiful record.

[@michaelmitchell5098]

Not on the outside is the ULTIMATE!! Whenever I hear it I have 1969 flashbacks!

[@oldman5719]

They was original Moments from Baltimore not Ray Goodman and Brown.

[@anpuarcturus]

There were many great groups back in the day that you would have to appreciate music and be exposed to as much music as possible to know about The Moments later known as Ray Goodman & Brown. Great post.

[@chrismulwee4911]

As I write this in early 2024, it was about 15 years ago when I learned this group was the first to record (We) Don't Cry Out Loud as a smooth soul song two whole years before Melissa Manchester transformed it into a power ballad.

[@RC-pt5wd]
