As a young teen, I sung this song to a girl I use to pass in the school hall all the time... she came over that night... we were parents nine months later... we married... lasted 28 years until her unfortunate demise. ❤I still love this song❤
Melvin Riley....lead singer of RFTW wrote it and produced it. It's "Love You Down". I'm am a 48 year old white boy and I loved RFTW. Melvin is my age now!
this kind of music is still being made but record labels are buying up all the radio time and artist like my self who do this kind of Music have to be found online and at our own concerts. come to my page on youtube and watch and hear my new music videos with this style of rnb. also add me on Facebook and Twitter my name is Bobby Washington.
This takes me back to my senior year in high school summer 1987l! My boy had just got his first whip, a 1987 ford escort pony with cellular phone! Lol!! Those were the days!! Good Times!! You couldn’t tell us nothing back then!
I always remembered this song. I had just started high school, and this song just stuck in my mind. Jams like this are like Cadillacs, they never go out of style!
This was background music to a couple of my 7th grade crushes lol. i remember thinking that this was NE at the time til i saw the music video. Nostalgia puttin a lump in my throat now 😳Sigh...
Yes, it has aged very well! Better than modern day viagra! 😂 Just add sexy conditional , sexy female stir well and add K-Y jell and in 9 months=1 Baby! Child support , diapers and baby food sold several!
A lot of moving comments on here. some funny ones too. All greatly appreciated. It feels good to know, after all these years, this song was felt by so many. Thank you all.
I was 17 when this song came out, back in those days was a drama free world where everyone got along with each other. I would like to go back in time knowing what I know now.
this came out in the 80's....sorry.....i remember when this came out i use to b at the animalhouse...on 367 when i first heard it and i was like 12 r 13 then.....I'm a o.g now
ROBBIE HARRIS I STILL REMEMBER WHEN THIS SONG CAME OUT WHEN THERE WAS ONLY VH1 MTV AND THE JUKEBOX(WHERE IT WAS PLAYED THE MOST) BEFORE BET WAS EVEN THOUGHT OF!!!!!!! STILL LISTENING IN 2019 AND MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY MORE YEARS TO COME!!!!!!
Lol at can you say stalker... But i dont think you could know what a stalker was in the 4th grade. Lol.. That was just da kinda things girls did back then. Da good ol days. I feel you though. I think i was in the 6th grade when this came out. The 80's and 90's were the last good decades in music.
I definitely remember them! I not only lived in their neighborhood in LeFrak City, Queens, we harmonized together (along with some other friends) in the summers. We were blowing until about 2 or 3am. Damn, those were the days! They all were some down-to-earth brothers.
It so heart breaking to know that music is not what it use to be? This was when artists could sing without a machine altering their voice so they can sound good. I miss this music so much. Wish I could go back in time. This new generation is truly missing out on what it mean to listen to good music and be in love.
@@robertjackson2163 sometimes memories becomes so vivid that you feel like you are back in that very time. Hold onto those beautiful memories, they're the closest thing we have to remind us of the good times.
I just saw that video to Cool It Now by New Edition...I was like 17 when that came out, with ALL that talent..Tres, Bell, Biv, Devoe, and Bobby...that was our dancin tunes back in the early, mid 80s...Candy Girl...miss those days...
I'm glad I bought this on CD (yes, it was briefly a CD in longbox) when it first came out in 1987. I was in college! Now it's a hard-to-find, very expensive collector's item. I must have made tapes with this song for half the damn campus back then!
These guys were supposed to be the second coming of New Edition, but it just didn't work out for them. I remember this well. Back then, my friends and I were die-hard New Edition fans and although we liked this song, we remained faithful to Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky and Mike and Ralph. :) At fifteen you don't understand that you can love them both. LOL
THIS HERE WAS THE ULTIMATE SONG.....IF YOU DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THIS SONG..IN HAD A CRUSH .....YOU WILL NEVER KNOW..I REMEMBER WE HAD RADIO STATIONS YOU CALL IN N REQUEST JAMS N SHOUTOUTS TO YOUR CRUSH!!!! THAT WAS THE LIFE BACK THEN. .....I GIVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO THEM DAYS BACK
Wow. I haven't heard this since I was 16. I met the guys at in store in ATL @ Peppermint Records in '88 and took a picture with the whole group. So bugged out to hear this after so many years.
memories as a kid when I thought I was in love!!!! lol I always wondered if Melvin Riley wrote this, always thought this joint reminded me of, Tonight! Peace ppl!
I had this cassette tape back in the late 80's. So many favorites on that album. I held onto that thing well into the mid 2000's. I never got around to putting it onto a cd and now it's gone forever. I would love to blast "Fingertips" in my car.
2023 baby! This is better than Any trash they call music nowadays. Y’all know what I’m talkin bout!! Let’s get & stay on these loving vibes y’all. Too much nastiness in the world today! Let’s take these youngins back & teach em how to love!!
Now this is some very good music right here. That feel good music that made everything right no matter how bad it may have been. Listened to music like this constantly and felt encouraged and positive. One of my favorite songs 😁
I have to come here just to listen to this jam. I was in High School when this came out. I know the words like it was just released yesterday. Where are these fellas at today?
Too the people who’s here in 2024!!❤️
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Missing oldies but goodies ❤
Folks these days can’t even understand how hard this song goes‼️. No profanity, no disrespectful lyrics. But smooth as hell, and they loved it❤
SHO NUFF ❤
2023!
Exactly ❤
Still here 2023
PREACH!!!The best decade ever!
As a young teen, I sung this song to a girl I use to pass in the school hall all the time... she came over that night... we were parents nine months later... we married... lasted 28 years until her unfortunate demise.

You got it
Yesssss...
Influenced by Prince 🎸
Melvin Riley did his thang back then, he wrote some great tracks
I CAN HEAR HIS STYLE. GREAT WORK.
Didn't know he wrote that but my 1st thought was it sounds like
Ready for the world.
Never noticed it back then though.
Right on.
RFTW's Gently
Tarja Williams I still listen to Melvin Riley from R.F.T.W to his solo projects
Wrote all the panty droppas
got that ready for the world sound
Melvin Riley of Ready For the World produced song.
+Al Cheeks yes he did too bad capital records did them dirty
Sure does.
Man..I'm white, and I had my boody pinchin CASSETTE back in the latter 80s, and RFTW and Melvin was ALL over it....

I remember as a teen playing this song over and over on my walkman until i felt asleep (daydreaming of a crush)☺️
Hell yeah SIS!!!! I did the same thing. I eventually got the nerve to approach her. Been married 27Years and counting!!!
I was 17 when this song came out, back in those days was a drama free world where everyone got along with each other.
I would like to go back in time knowing what I know now.

Wish I could go back in time. This new generation is truly missing out on what it mean to listen to good music and be in love.
I can't believe I found this song brings back good memories for me
Yeah this has Melvin Riley and RFTW written all over it.

Send chills down my spine. Great song
Real classic R&B Ya Heard Me
Yes baby

Best days when music was music
Yes, im loving old school, so many memories, if only the body could transform back to those days just as the memory
If only

I use to play this when I was a teen-ager falling in love wow beautiful song.
Why all these years later I'm just discovering that they sound like a cross between New edition and ready for the world??
I just saw that video to Cool It Now by New Edition...I was like 17 when that came out, with ALL that talent..Tres, Bell, Biv, Devoe, and Bobby...that was our dancin tunes back in the early, mid 80s...Candy Girl...miss those days...
I remember rewinding this all the time being in love with my boyfriend.
This is the jam in our day
Me too! Whew honey! Good ole teenage love 💕🖤💕
I. Used to wonder who made this song but I finally got in 98 it was hard to find but been had it
If only love could be this beautiful 24/7. ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm glad I bought this on CD (yes, it was briefly a CD in longbox) when it first came out in 1987. I was in college! Now it's a hard-to-find, very expensive collector's item. I must have made tapes with this song for half the damn campus back then!
Sophomore year, we use to compete to see who had the best slow music, lol
Beautiful song! ❤️
A young lady, much younger than me, just reminded me of this song.
These guys were supposed to be the second coming of New Edition, but it just didn't work out for them. I remember this well. Back then, my friends and I were die-hard New Edition fans and although we liked this song, we remained faithful to Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky and Mike and Ralph. :) At fifteen you don't understand that you can love them both. LOL
They would've gave NE a run for their money if they came out in 1984
This song was written for New Edition originally
I'm here all the time not just for the 80s or 90s I'm here all the time music is not like this no more 💯✌️
