THE ETHICS - THINK ABOUT TOMORROW (HY-LIT SHOW). THIS GROUP FORMED IN PHILADELPHIA IN 1967. MEMBERS ARE: RON TYSON, JOE FREEMAN, ANDREW COLLINS AND CARL ENLOW.
Yeah - Great tune. I'll always believe that the Ethics, the Mad Lads, and the Fantastic Four were the most under-appreciated groups from the (earlier) soul era.
@@HardCold-Alquan In fact, after 'The Ethics' he was part of another super great soul group, Love Committee' ... Just go and check out the song 'If You Change Your Mind' by them, pure genius. Of which, he co-wrote that again with legendary producers/writers/arrangers Allan Felder and Norman Harris... Even if you read the story of the Manhattans' record deals in the early 80's. Ron Tyson's name kept on pitching up as a guy who linked certain people up and linked certain deals in favour of the Manhattans, etc... The man is a legend, hence it was fitting that his late brother David Tyson eventually became a Manhattans himself.
So glad that Ron Tyson is still holding the fort with the Temptations. I love the stories of The Temptations... of those who have come and gone. Also those of The Dells, The Dramatics, The Stylistics, Delfonics, Softones. These groups are always somehow connected in someway or the other.
Oh just shut up. I'm white and I was born in Philly in 1952. I'd hear this on WHAT AM (DJs: Georgie Woods, Sonny Hopson, Lee Garrett), in the 60s.. This is my favorite song for EVER EVER EVER and EVER. You are right (in a way). But just shut up.
@Tony Eloc --- You are right about the music. I just get annoyed with people who gush on or about others. Gushers can heap praise on others, but probably wouldn't think of going through a Black neighborhood or wanting a Black person living next-door to them.
What's not to LOVE about this song, and this performance?!?!? It's got that great late '60s-early '70s sound you never hear anymore---in that Intruders-Delfonics groove.....just slick, smooth, radio-friendly, and just cool........Larry Washington's bass, Vince Montana's vibes......the string sounds of Thom Bell........it's all there. When music was.......well, MUSIC!! Just simply cannot get enough of this song........
Sho U right about Thom Bell. The strings and the subtle horns just like with the Delphonics & Stylistics among others. That era was so unique. Coming off the successful Civil rights act which instilled fresh confidence & creativity in the voices & arrangements rarely to be equaled again.
perfectly stated. I'm from the S.Jersey and South Philly and grew up listening to all these songs and even older ones cause I have 4 older brothers and I'm 64 now. I grew up with Motown in my school life.
We had such great music to grow up to in these days. Makes you wonder why music like this does not exist today? Music that expressed love and feeling instead of hate and violence. Still have this record on 45 to this day...........always loved this tune !!!
I remember watching this exact show on TV and loving the Ethics as a result. Think about tomorrow, Sad, Sad Story, Standing in the darkness, Farewell....all great songs from a totally underrated group. The Hy Lit Show, the Georgie Woods Show were on Saturday afternoons in Philly on UHF channel 17 or 29. A precursor to Soul Train syndicated nationally starting in the 70's.
Hy Lit show was live from channel 48 in South Philly. Caught the Subway there George Woods show was on channel 17 called Seventeen Canteen that came on weekdays around 3 pm. May they both rest in peace !
@@Musicradio77Network @Frankie C Back in the '60s radio stations in different cities played different music, not like today. Philly radio had a sound all its own.
I love old Rnb but I had never heard this song until the other day. Had never even heard of the group. But I’ve played this song a number of times since I first heard it. I’ve even added it to one of my playlists on Spotify. It’s just a nice song. I know the lead singer joined the Temptations but he also on this song sounds a lot like The Delfonics lead singer. In any case I’m glad I discovered this group. I like their sound.
+Damali5610 The Ethics Wind Up Becoming "Love Committee" During The Salsoul Records Years Check Out The Songs "Just As Long As I Got You" And "Law And Order"
Being a fan of sweet, harmony soul, I love this late-60's Philly Soul; I love with all my heart and soul, the well-knowns like the Intruders and Delfonics, and the lesser renowned groups like The Ethics, and so forth. I also love the early 70's greats like Blue Magic, O'Jays and the Stylistics. Philly Soul had its popularity/record sales hey day in the 70's, but their 60's doo-wop roots are my favorite part of Philly Soul history and had an impeccable influence even into the disco era, of which Philly Soul was also a large part.
Brian Powell right on my man i love that late 60s soul sound of philly too the ambassadors the epsilons the delfonics n like you said the intruders especially their songs like together well be united sad girl n cowboys to girls
Unfortunately. But those Brothers have their own message. However less romantic or inarticulate. Though strides have been made, in many ways it's a harsher world today with diminished values and the music simply reflects it. I wish it were not so. More reason to promote the classic "Real" music to our shorties to keep it alive and as a reminder of what we once were and can be again.
Boy I love this one! We had a lot of beautiful music that was lost in time but is being blasted in my 63 on Saturday nights, people have never heard these hits that these cats made back in the day, I'm just glad that someone captured these timeless videos,
I love this song, I just asked my family to listen to it as I played it 3 times, its extremely beautiful and it hurts to see many great performers and their hits were kept in the dark
I LOVE this song! It took me almost two years to find it, because I thought the name of this song was " Keep Fading Away," however WOGL FM played it one Saturday night and the deejay named this song. I was SOOOO happy that a radio station still played GREAT music on a Saturday night!
can you listen to ---Walking Up The Kings High Way--- by Joseph Niles And The Consolers and say if you thing the falsetto guy in this group carries a better falsetto than Ron Tyson and William Hart ?
@@richardgamble4147 Listened to the Joseph Niles group and they sound like they have a first and second tenor, The first tenor has a very high pitch voice but not as clear as a William Hart or Ron Tyson. A very talented group which most gospel groups had to be in that day, Gospel is harder to sing professionally.
Smooth Baby....Oh so Good. Covid still going on..... it's Sept. 6 months in, and no End in sight. Thanks for Posting this, God Bless you All.........🎸💚
The difference with Eddie Kendrick falsetto is he sound more like a high pitch smooth tenor most of the other cats sound like a man singing like a girl with a weird high tone
Coolest thing I ever heard and saw in my life, it just lights me up and makes me think of better times living in the South Jamaica Housing Projects in NYC.
Hi-skee O-Roonee McVadio Zoot, Hy Lit's moniker. I remember WIBG very well. Some of the other DJ's were Joe Niagara and Frank X Feller. The 60's live on forever in music.
I remember the "war" between Hy and Jerry Blavat briefly around the mid-eighties. I met Hy Lit several times back in the day, as well as meeting Jerry (we had a minor car accident together on the way to HB's). When I was a kid, I actually was on the WFIL side Boss Jocks.
Lot of competition here among the Philly groups, nice composition, instrumentation, harmonies are together, especially Ron Tyson's (Eddie-Kendrick's-like)phrasing on the vocals, small wonder.
wow, I've always loved the phila sound of the early mid 60-s thru the early 70-s, the sapphires, delfonics, intruders, intrigues, etc - but never heard this one. Great sound, loved it on first listen - thanks for adding!

These guys worked to get it down just like the Motown groups did. On another Hy Lit show video, there's the Destinations singing their local hit, I Can't Leave You. which was also a very nice presentation o the Phily sound, but they needed to get their choreography a bit more polished. It takes some practice to get it where it needs to be, but in fairness, they were standing on a relatively small platform.
Thankyou for dropping by and kindly commenting 😀 I also have The Destinations - I can't leave you on my channel here czcams.com/video/okpAMMvHEYY/video.html
My uncle still sounds good! I love my family and the fun times spent listening to them singing all the oldies.
I'm glad the footage exist. So many talented groups back in the day. Not all of them got the exposure they deserved.
Hear, hear!
😢 a whole generation of great music of generation is fading away , so true , never knew how good we had it , now it’s gone.
Mr. Ron Tyson was one busy man until he became a Temptation. Awesome classic video and song.
Ron took a back seat to no 1 in the 60's
Philadelphia in the house all the way
Yeah - Great tune. I'll always believe that the Ethics, the Mad Lads, and the Fantastic Four were the most under-appreciated groups from the (earlier) soul era.
Amen!
The radiants , the dells & Desmond Dekker & the Israelites .
They were my favorite group , I would go to Uptown theater to see them . Good performance 🎭 ❤💯
Mad lads were fire🤗🤗
@jamesprokolyshenjr3744 The Radiants, It's Fading Away. That was one of my all-time favorite songs. Thanks for reminding of them.
Beautiful falsetto voice always love me some Ron Tyson
What a great song. Great choreography and Harmony. The Ethics were underrated.
I totally agree with.
The Legendary Ron Tyson, not only one of the best falsettos ever, but also Co-writer for some great hits for groups like Blue Magic.
I can hear the Blue Magic sound in this tune!!
Did he just write for them? I didn’t know that that’s interesting
One notable BLue Magic song he co-wrote with the legendary Norman Harris (session guitarist, arranger, producer) was The Oscar.
I had no idea that he was in a group before The Temptations, let alone going back at least this far. You learn something new everyday.

West Philly born and raised, Overbrook High, class of '72. Love this music.
I’m just hearing and seeing a young Ron Tyson ! Beautiful music and cold blooded group! Oh boy what I give for this type of music to return!
Love Committee is another group Ron was in. Check out the 'Law and Order' video.
So glad that Ron Tyson is still holding the fort with the Temptations. I love the stories of The Temptations... of those who have come and gone. Also those of The Dells, The Dramatics, The Stylistics, Delfonics, Softones. These groups are always somehow connected in someway or the other.
thanks to the African Americans for such beautiful music without them there would be no music.....

one of the most beautiful songs ever. these boys can sing.
Boys?These are handsome talented gentlemen
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard! It's up there with the Tempts, Delfonics and Sam Cooke! It's simply FLAWLESS ♥️
You'll done lost your damn mind
well done, a wonderful song too.
Big hit in Philly in Oct. 1968.
Not a big one in New York City, because this song was played on WWRL back in 1968.

Ron TYSON OF TEMPTATIONS..BEAUTIFUL TENOR
Black folks are in a bag of their own, soulful music and performance at it's best.

Ron Tyson-lead singer of The Ethics later became a permanent Temptation! The Ethics cd is really good so folks pick it up if you can!
Don't worry about tomorrow tomorrow will take care of itself. Great day great song!
A Young Ron Tyson with a great falsetto, Only one I've ever heard who's close to William Hart of the Delfonics sound.
You are right about that Brodoc Betty. He was Smoothe & Classy !
can you listen to ---Walking Up The Kings High Way--- by Joseph Niles And The Consolers and say if you thing the falsetto guy in this group carries a better falsetto than Ron Tyson and William Hart ?

Beautiful soul music 🎶 pay attention to what he's saying, meaningful words

6 months in, and no End in sight.

That is a young Ron Tyson now he sings with the temptations.
Really enjoyed this song, I see why he was chosen by the, Temptations. His voice is similar to the One and Only, Eddie Kendricks.
the temps kept a very close eye on ron tyson, he was ready when he got the call .
Thank you for mentioning that--- HE WAS CHOSEN BY THE TEMPTATIONS---I learned some thing and this song is verybeautiful
Don’t disrespect Eddie Kendrick’s legacy like that lol! 😂
The difference with Eddie Kendrick falsetto is he sound more like a high pitch smooth tenor most of the other cats sound like a man singing like a girl with a weird high tone
Sound heavenly beautiful
I never forgot this song and have always loved listening to it.

great song and a very true love song
Thanks my brother Yes I love that song from way back..
God bless this sweet group

A timeless & beautiful classic ❤️🔥

His name is Ron Tyson.
Very true they really were extremely underrated. Almost every single song was and is great
Anybody remember the show out of Philly called "Hy-Lit " ? I used to watch that faithfully every Saturday.
That's what we're watching!
Yes, loved that show. My h.s.friend, Ting,and her boyfriend, Doug were weekly dancers on that show. Wonder what happened to them? Such memories of those days. Best time of my life.

Being from the Philly area, this song brings back a certain feeling from those days that's simply embodied in the sound - and it's a rewarding feeling. Excellent tune and I like the choreography. These guys worked to get it down just like the Motown groups did. On another Hy Lit show video, there's the Destinations singing their local hit, I Can't Leave You. which was also a very nice presentation o the Phily sound, but they needed to get their choreography a bit more polished. It takes some practice to get it where it needs to be, but in fairness, they were standing on a relatively small platform.
