I'm from Chicago, and in 1972 and 1973 the soul radio stations were hot to trot bad to the bone love songs, I remember as if it was yesterday, they played the stew out of this song by the Ebonys and their other big hit Forever, I love the Ebonys style, I wished I could have seen them perform live.
Oh my GOD man!, He still sounds the same as he did when I was 5 years old with my moms playing this, wow! where did the time go y'all...And thank u for this,so glad to hear it again.
I was a little girl when this song was a hit about 6 or 7. For some reason every time it came on the radio I would stop to listen to the whole song. This song still gives me chills. And, I appreciate the instruments playing in the back.
Yes, they are trying, but no one can touch the originals. Just too powerful for today's singers, but yes give them credit.Sorry but they just lack the power of the OG
Kenneth Craddock LOL...Kenneth, that's a little harsh, but a little true too. Its hard to find singers who have the power and harmony of the original groups. So I just enjoy the old standard and let it go at that. But I'll keep my eyes on this new version....maybe they will get it together.
I managed the original Ebonies (Bootie, Jennifer, David and Jimbo) when they were still in high school. NONE of the people in this video are original members of the Ebonies.
Rob Russell is right none of those are the original singers. I knew the new lead singer when he was starting out solo and then he got the lead when the Original Ebonys singer died.... He's just as good as the original lead singer, maybe better. He has all these commenter thinking he's the Original so what's that saying..
McKensey is a wonderful falsetto but seems like his breathing was a bit labored when holding some of the longer notes. Sad that he would pass away the next year.
+latoya sims the lead singer, you can tell he has the same voice timbre, same intensity but the new members the other 3 sound very weak , great song though
I love the original group, but this group just lacks that dynamic something...but they are doing something, singing these songs...I just don't know what it is...lol...they are trying aren't they?
