- RIFF ALMA MATER SONG - LEAN ON ME
RIFF revisited their school and the scene of one of their most famous moments in their career. I shot a video with them in the bathroom at Eastside High where we first saw them in Lean on Me. This was the 25th Anniversary of the start of the group Riff.

The guys actually sang this song live that day we filmed this. Let me know if you are interested in hearing that version and I will post it!
Please, that would be amazing
To see them still together 30 years later is a testament to true friendship... INSPIRING
R these guys the same ones from 1990??
@@rohonblair2186 the guy Kenny that sung lead in the movie passed away...the videos I have seen of them singing lately it's only 3 of the original members
I bet they didn’t even ask Morgan’s agent/manager if they can get him for this. I don’t see y he wouldn’t have said yes

Wow, that's sad.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
For every 112, boys 2 men, there are a thousand groups just like this. That sound just as good but never got the break they deserved.
Former Eastside High School Student. Class of 1990! They graduated with my sister in 1989. I miss those days. Joe Clark was very strict and Eastside High was not as bad as the movie portrays it to be.
So they really did attend Eastside! No wonder they killed the song! And I read that the state took control of the school in '91.
But it made a great movie though. Thank you Eastside High, Riff and OP. Great harmonies!
Mrs. Diaz I would be interested in hearing your story. My name is Charles Walker. I'm not part of a news organization but I'm interested in hearing your story
@@PeteMcCorvey Clark warned the Unions in the 60/70s they were going to destroy the schools. DOE is finally DOA. Gonna take a few decades to restore the once great literacy rate.
The US had a 93-100% literacy rate in the mid-late 1800s. Carnegie and Rockefeller made sure they began the Great Kill in the 1920s. Can’t have these people thinking for themselves man. Who would want that 🙄
My cousin Wrestled for East Side HS
Class of 90
The 26 dislikes were from Mr. Darnell on multiple accounts
🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂 I bet
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The light skinned dude still looks the same. Good shape too. They sound like wonderful
You've noticed that too lol. They sound even better
@Stepping Onnn Doesn’t have to be him that wrote it. It’s clear as daylight that he still looks the same. 🤷🏽♀️
Said the same thing put in a little weight
He so much cuter back then
Lol u guys are funny!!
JESUS!!!! This literally made me cry. It would have been awesome if Morgan Freeman was there to repeat his reaction to hearing this.
I am glad they got to finish the song this time! This is real music! We need more music like this today! This is absolute gold!
They are such a talented group. Thanks for watching!
Scott Silva April 13th of this year will be the 30th birthday of this scene
@@karleecraziness9216 Yeah, I was talking with Nitty over Christmas about doing something for the anniversary. Stay tuned!
Facts 💯
@@karleecraziness9216 That's right! I've seen this in the movie theater in 1989 at the age of 12! This movie was soooo deep
RIP Kenny Kelly ( lead vocalist ) , he passed away in 2016 and most recently Joe Clark
❤
This made me so sad to see… wow he was so talented
Heartbreaking the Lead Singer passed, sounds so good. Kenny Kelly Rest peacefully in Heaven.
Omg!!! They still look and sound the same way when we were in school. I graduated with them. They all look and sound AMAZING!!!
Who do we verify from 🤔😆😂
Only thing missing is for Morgan Freeman to return and claim his role after he was shocked with him singing so well in the restroom.
I was 17 years old when this movie came out. May the real Joe Clark rest in peace.🙏
I didn't know he passed
@@tyrchn18 Morgan Freeman shared the news of his passing, he died following a long illness on December 29, 2020, at the age of 83.
@@Warchild-007 He will be remembered for the legacy he left 💜
May he rest in peace
I swear their vocals & harmonies leave me speechless... literally breathtaking!!
Glad to see their still together after 30+ years!
Hi Nicole hope u doing ok...but how does it feel seeing these guys after thirty years???
Only got better with age! 🥰
30 years later still gives chills
For sure !
My mom used to work there as one of her first jobs. She worked with Mr. Clark and was always proud to be associated with the school. It was a tough school, but she was happy for the experience.
It’s so good to see them all alive and well and sounding the exact same! Even better ❤❤❤❤❤
It's only 3 of the original guys.
The main leader passed away couple years ago … it supposed to be 6 of them
@@pennywebster471i believe the lead is the only one that isn't the OG. The other 4 look exactly the same. The lead passed from what I understand.
You DON'T get THESE harmonies from Auto-Tune, baby!!!!!!!!
landyachtfan79 These guys are the real deal. Thanks for watching
You are ever so welcome!!!!!!
PREACH
Amen!
FACTS!!!!!! PURE RAW TALENT
Lawd!!! My childhood lies in these vocals!!!! Feels like Eastside High is my own alma mater. They are utterly amazing!!!! #realtears
They are amazing. Thanks for watching and subscribing. Much appreciated.
Same! My cousins and I would run around randomly yelling for the school song to be sung 😂
The best Alma Mater ever written!
From a MOVIE!!💯
I agree
These men have lived well over the years. They still have the talent! Bravo!!!

Grew up in the 90s as a young teen and Riff, Shai, Jodeci and Boys 2 Men just to name a few were apart of my upbringing. I will forever be grateful as it was this harmonic music that gave me heart, compassion and understanding in life. Thank ya'll for your beautiful voices have blessed my life.
Can you guys just re-do every single school song? Y'all got the most insane harmony.
Not everyone wants a religious sounding school song.
You can feel they song through your soul they have amazing voices
I graduated from BF High School in 1989. Our principal, Dr. Norman K. Spencer was our very own Joe Clark. Padlocks and chains and a bullhorn. He barked each morning at us this chant over the intercom and in the i will never forget it. "Franklin High is moving up! We've got the strength cause we are tough! Moving fast, we won't last. We do our best to pass the tests. We're number 1, we're better than the rest. We look good, act good...and SMELL Good! Franklin High, Franklin High, Franklin HIGH!" They don't breed leaders like him and Joe Clark anymore. RIP, Dr. Spencer! We heard you and believed we could and we DID!
Me crying in 2021 remembering this beautiful school song. And I'm from Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿.
When music was great, no auto tune or gimmicks. Still watching after 30yrs. Gives me chills.
Omg they sound better then when they were younger💯👍👍👍🌹🌹💋♥️
I'm surprise these guys and their singing careers weren't bigger. They sound amazing..... I love their voices and the harmonies.... This goes to show that those who can sing can sing for a lifetime without the help of Auto -Tune.....
They probably didn't want to compromise themselves like many of their more successful peers.
Boys mature to men and sounding even better. Awesome!!!
Eastside high...
The Anointing of God is Definitely on this this Song!! I Love IT
This gave this old boy chills. Took me back to when I first saw the movie. Loved this song from the moment I heard it. This is gold. Straight up gold.
This is still the best school song I have ever heard.
THEY STILL GOT IT, THAT'S REAL HARMONY Y'ALL.
This is what needs to get blasted from speakers high from the mountain tops!!! Would feel glorious to wake up to this every morning. Such HIGH VIBES
