Winning a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group, once again Thomas Bell and William Hart wrote the ‘Philly soul ballad’ for the Delfonics in 1970. * The slow ballad has wonderful strings and horns along with the chromatic vocal harmonies in the Delfonic’s set signature style. Exceptional music making at its best!
*(The Delfonics definitively musical “La La Means I Love You” from 1968 also by Bell and Hart; hear it at:

Truth bomb: black people made better music than white people for the
entirety of the 1970’s.
DELFONICS… DIDN’T I BLOW YOU’RE MIND SOUL TRAIN
Life changing soul, wow!
Too much nostalgia….the 70’s music just puts that lump in your throat.
Damn, I miss the 70’s SOOO much !

I love soul always have and always will
I grew up with this music and there’s nothing or anything that would ever
come close to it. Nothing! Baby boomer
loved this song as a kid and still love now at 55 – so much talent !
When I was in the army in Germany we would watch soul train and in concert
on AFRT.
Part of the awesome jackie brown soundtrack.
oh, WOW haven’t heard this in ages, the best!!!!!!!!!
One of the greatest ballads
The Original By New Kids on The Block was better……….

I went to Overbrook high with these guys in 1965, And my brother Arthur
Wright,
Mind blowing to say the least. Thank God for Philly Soul :)
These are the real thuggish ruggish Bones! Man they look so mean, but their
pipes are beautiful!
Blacks did make nice beautiful love songs back then , now they have rap
music full of hate. Look how thin they were especially the women. now
they fat and hateful.
The game is played in the mind, in the spirit, thinking and knowing is two
different things, so “Didn’t I blow your mind this time”…
I grew up listening to Motown, Philly sound. Why don’t they make music
like this anymore.
The composition, vocal performance, the arrangement. ..nothing like it
before or since.
Hmm a decent cover song but it just lacks some passion and not near as good
as the original version from New Kids on the Block.

Pure magic. I wish I could go back for a week or so. Wouldn’t that be
fun? Let’s go!
I think motown was and is the greatest music in the world

i’m white brother and yes your right all the way,raised in the hood had
nothing to do with it either by far the best
I was dating my first wife when this song was released back in 1970. We’re
not together anymore but the song still reminds me of her and the good
times we shared while they lasted.
Yes, indeed, the Delfonics were mind blowers . After 43 years, and now I’m
listening to them and I’m blown away!
I’m 25 i love music like this, i feel like i should of lived back then
instead of today
Jackie Brown 🙂
The GOOD STUFF…never to be done that well ever again

Love these songs and I’m a 80s baby!
Happy Birthday William Hart (1945.)
