Imagine me, a long haired white guy growing up in South bay of LA, listening to this, stylistics, suicidal tendencies, led zeppelin...I had a very eclectic variety of music. Most of it was great, some not so much. This is one of the great ones in my opinion. Their harmony is incredible.
It's great watching you youngsters listening to this song for the first time. I heard this when it first came out in 1976, I was 10 years old. Still a great song.
Yeah, it’s great watching senior old people get some reaction time. Takes you way-way back, huh? You was only 10, way back in 1976, huh? You sound so excited, makes you wanna dust of a bottle of ripple and disco dance the night away. This was your “jam” so what was your “jelly”? 🤣
Yes! I love “Take Me Where You Want To” by him! He had a solo career as well. I saw The Manhattans live in concert back in the day 🎵 and they sound just like their hit songs! Great comment frank! Peace and blessings! 😎❤️
A time when black vocalists and groups were making huge strides in the music industry. I was just a small boy when I first heard Otis Redding... "I've been loving you". I felt the depth and emotion in his vocals immediately. Even at the age of ten, hearing it come on the radio....it stopped me dead in my tracks. So much great music was being produced and recorded back then. The competition in the industry was fierce back then! It produced high-quality vocalists and musicians. Most importantly...that era produced an abundance of solid gold music.
Soul Train, Midnight Special, American Bandstand! We grew up listening to all these weekly tv shows. The Manhattans were Soul Singers, it's a branch off of rhythm and blues/ gospel/ and pop. Very much like a tree, all music is a part of one family, the musical family.
@@keithknox5829 Yes, there were some other musical programs, depending on your area. There was one in England to, The pop show, or something like that.
@@keithknox5829 Oh Yes, another great one, I also have no clue as to the spelling, but I'm usually not the one to care on the spelling. To me that's trivial, of everyone gets the feel for who or what I'm referring to, that is the point. Sometimes, the only video of the artists at work, on these special programs is the only visual we have today.
My favorite music catalog has always been the Motown catalog. They had some incredible songs and amazing talent. Never get tired of listening to this music.
I thank my Mom so much for listening to such amazing music both in English and Spanish, exposing me to it. Makes me appreciate these TRUE TALENTED artists, and makes me wish the newer generations would rather these types of singers and songs. Reason why I can't relate to many people my age. They just like trash. And I'm more of an old soul.
Nope! First I am not your sweetie. Second, that's how history and knowledge gets lost. People giving out false information like it's facts, and other people (e.g. Maryann Turton) believe it!
Oh grow up sweetie 🤣 I haven't a clue what your whining about I'm Welsh and in my 70s and think I've probably seen a bit more of life than you!!! Why are you sooo angry it can't just be Barry White can it??? Get meds or something you must be so unhappy...everyone else on here seems to enjoy themselves except you🏴🏴🏴✌️✌️
The Manhattans started out as a backup group to other acts. They were session singers at the studios for other groups that needed backup singers. And then they got the big break. Kiss and say goodbye was a big hit for them. Shining star was also a mega-hit for. It came out in the early 80's
As a 70’s baby my granny would play all the greats. This is one of them and many more. And I still listen to all of them. I miss those days that is something that I can never get back. But enjoy those memories 😪😪🥰🥰.
Now were talking 👄 this was one of my favorite songs to sing and imitate with some friends in my youth and all through the years! It was so well sung and narrated it was just something you'd feel compelled to imitate. Thanks boys!❤🙏🌎
Some of the best soul music out there it may be more than 30 years old but still great today as it was then .I choose to listen to this music instead of the stuff they play today .love it
I can't remember how old I was , don't think I was very old but in my teens when I heard this on radio always thought this was smooth!!!! Those jumpsuits where the bomb back in the 70's!!!
Wow! This brought back memories, I was 20 when this came out, really got the feels going with this , played it on repeat. These guys had it all, wish this kind of music made a come back.
Greetings from New Zealand ....Hey thank you for this mine and husband's favorite song even though it's a sad breakup song we just love the harmonies and the 🎶 melody is fire...now our grandkids listen to our music...Temptations Manhattens etc....Blessings xxxx Happy new year!!
There’s lots of great 1970s Soul like this , check out Barry White, The O Jays, Spinners , The Delfonics and Stylistics …. The 70s was the best , We were listening all sorts of great different styles of music from Southern Rock to Led Zeppelin to Motown to Souland many others . Nobody cared about the genre, if it was good we listened to it. This Philly soul style music was the best for when you entertained the women at your crib. Even us white guys put this on, it was guaranteed action.
The dude in the back, he gets it. Don't be showy and just enjoy the music. Loads of time and culture here. Honor the music. All the best to you and yours. Cheers.
I remember this group! This is beautiful, I love it. Have you heard "September" by Earth Wind and Fire? A mix of R & B and DISCO, from the seventies, is awesome, you would love it. One of the best songs of all time, imo.
Old School I grew up with. Brings back memories of parties dancing the night away every wknd listening to Cameo, Gap Band, Zapp, SOS Band, Funkadelic, Rick James, Smokey Robinson, Isley Bros, Earth Wind & Fire, Lakeside, just to name a few...
Absolutely love this song!!💕 If you love the Isley Bros. you need to hear Ronald Isley sing "This Old Heart of Mine" with Rod Stewart. It's an awesome song!
Man, I miss good music. Back in the day, there was real, live singing. Musicians even played their own instruments. You need to do some Marvin Gaye and his band. Amazing stuff.
There's so much old school groups to react to but check out The Stylistics, Earth Wind & Fire, Average White Band, The Dramatics, Hall & Oats, and The Temptations just to name a few!
Yo, Im Really Appreciating Y'all Appreciating the Music I Grew up to, I Teach & know How Important Music is to & For Us.... Love Y'all's Reactions....Especially The James Brown One......

You better believe it! ❤😎
It's great watching you youngsters listening to this song for the first time. I heard this when it first came out in 1976, I was 10 years old. Still a great song.
i wish this music (r&b, soul, doo wop) dominated the charts again. nice emotional songs - not these idiotic nothing but the same songs of nowadays

Yes! I'm 56 and I really enjoy watching you guys..stay blessed and stay sweet..
Robert....no they talk and pause way too much
They are coming back home. Good music
Listen to the lyrics, it's poetry. They don't write songs like this anymore. This was the music I experienced growing up.
The BEST of the Manhattans!! I'm an old white lady and it is one of my absolute favorites!! Love watching y'all
Another old white lady here too. Love the Motown sound.
ALL OF MOTOWN MUSIC IS FIRE!!! CLASSY, DRESSED UP. TOO COOL😎🎵🎺🎻🎸🎷🎶
Amen & Amen!
❤❤❤❤❤
The voice of Gerald Alston...magic
Yes! I love “Take Me Where You Want To” by him! He had a solo career as well. I saw The Manhattans live in concert back in the day 🎵 and they sound just like their hit songs! Great comment frank! Peace and blessings! 😎❤️
Smooth, silky vocals , not over produced, just beautiful music. True professionals every time. 🤌🏻🇨🇦

Don't forget Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. I think that was the name.
@@keithknox5829 Yes, there were some other musical programs, depending on your area. There was one in England to, The pop show, or something like that.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We sure did Tony! Great comment! 😎❤️

Not only spectacular vocals but primo showmanship!!
These guys got soul in they're veins .📢🎤
Lou Rawls, "You'll Never Find A Live Like Mine"- total banger!
I agree!
ITS YOU'LL NEVER FIND A LOVE LIKE MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I heard my father sing this so many times. He did a great job, but these guys are next level.
Everyone wore jumpsuits in the 70's.
Glad to see you all reacting to a true iconic group.
The O’Jays!
This was one of the most played songs ever during the 70’s. The Manhattans were just great!
Still love this jam after all these years!!
This is the music I grew up with, and lord, I miss it! Nothing today touches that sound. So glad you're enjoying it - great reaction.
My favorite music catalog has always been the Motown catalog. They had some incredible songs and amazing talent. Never get tired of listening to this music.
👌
❤❤❤❤❤
Incredible group 🔥🔥Another beautiful example of how great music was " back in the day "🔥🔥❤️
So many memories, such a beautiful, romantic song. I love it.
One of the smoothest songs ever! Proud of ya'll! Thanks for keeping great music alive!
Huge song back then. I love this song. Oldie but goodies.
Love this song

Back in the day we had beautiful music clean cut music soft and smooth R/B. Today the singers sing anything.
This is the best ! This is one of my favorite songs ! Have loved this for years !❤
I was 9 in 1976. This brings up memories of the simple 70s
Barry White started off he was a legend in his own right too... unique voice check him out🏴🏴🏴
Ooooh Barry! The velvet teddy bear!
That IS NOT Barry White! He was never, ever, in this group. Period. Learn who Winfred Blue Lovett is.
Ok calm down sweetie if it's not him it's his twin😆😆🥰🥰 he was in a few groups before he went solo easy mistake sorry Karen😉👌👌
Nope! First I am not your sweetie. Second, that's how history and knowledge gets lost. People giving out false information like it's facts, and other people (e.g. Maryann Turton) believe it!

The Gentleman with the deep voice,
WROTE THE SONG !
It was Released in March, 1976
One of the greatest soul songs of all time.
This is a wonderful song and group of the 70's, love them! You guys need to check out "The Chi-Lites" and "The Stylistics."
The Stylistics and their song, You Make Me Feel Brand New. You HAVE to react to this song!!!!
