Marvin Junior had a voice that could move mountains and his voice moved people . We were blessed to have had a chance to have had such greatness in this man's voice .

Eddie King Jr. is a fictitious character as The Five Heartbeats is a fictitious group. That's the late Marvin Junior belting it out. The Dells are/were real.

This is a wonderful example of what can happen when you combine new and fresh production with classic, timeless talent. This is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite movies, which I think was terribly underrated. The Dells are what GOOD music and GOOD singing is all about. Some decades later, they manage to sound even better than they did at their supposed peak. Sensational group. Beautiful song.

R.I.P. Marvin Junior!!! Our prayers are with the big families of the Mighty Mighty Dells! Along with the late Johnny Carter-the greatest co-lead vocalists ever from the greatest vocal group ever. Almost 60 yrs setting the gold standard in vocal harmony for all the more well-known groups that followed in their shoes. The music does indeed live on.....waiting to be discovered by curious new ears.

My generation. Great memories thanks to groups like The Dells.

The Dells. Legendary. I am completely captivated.

What a history of beautiful music. Black people make the world's greatest music...

yes he is one of the best singers there ever was

Yes, it does have a spiritual meaning, wonderful song and amazing vocals on the lead singer. He just made it his own.

I never get tired of listening to this ! That Marvin Jr. had some serious skills! BLOWING, BLOWING !

The Dells: Marvin Junior - Johnnie Carter - Michael McGill Verne Allison - Charles Barksdale Longest Running - R&B Group in history.

Whew...men used to know how to really SLOW dance to music like this....hit all the dips and beats in the right place. No matter what kind of day you had, dancing with them made you feel like a queen. Wonderful memories.

The Dells were architects baby!!!!!!

I love this song. The sound just as good as they did back in the 60s and 70s.

This song will always be timeless. The power in this song intensifies every time it is played and heard.
