Lead singer is William (Poogie) Hart Falsetto king with brother Wilbert Hart who is still alive at 77 years old and friend Randy Cain They defined the Romantic Philly sound .William was the main writer of lyrics and arrangements adding soft violins There is so much to say about this group. Thank you for reacting to them they are fantastic. Suggest "Didn't I blow your Mind This Time" and "Ready or Not Here I Come".. This is a group you should read about .As of July 2022 two original members had passed .William Hart lead singer passed in 2022 and randy Cain passed in 2009 at 63.. . I have loved their romantic soul music all these years thank you I've been waiting for this group. Thank you,. don't forget the Stylistics "You Made Me Feel Brand New" and more..

Rick Beato has a great video on why Boomers (and Gen X like me) don’t like modern music. It made me feel much better!

Jay & Amber, William "Poogie" Hart on lead vocals and he was the primary songwriter with songwriter/producer Thom Bell!! Thom Bell is in the Songwriters Hall Of Fame.

I can see your “heart bubbles “ Amber. Great choice of a song. Dig deeper into this group you won’t be disappointed.

This is one of the best songs from the 60's. Thank you

As a 12-year old girl when this song came out, it made my young heart beat with dreams of romance and love.

“Didn’t I blow your mind this time” is a must.I believe the lead singer has an actual vocal range where he doesn’t need to use a falsetto.Not exactly sure what that means . He passed away very recently.His brother is still living.

Yay! You found the Delfonics!!! I love this song and so happy you began with it. My favorite is "Didn't I."

I met my wife while in high school, 1975. She was a Freshman (14) & I was Sophomore (15). I've been with her ever since. This is my song because it's a beautiful song, but more importantly, My wife's nick name is LaLa! Have it tattooed on my arm.

I read recently that the writer/lead singer was holding his baby boy and his baby looked up at him and said "La La". He looked at his wife, smiled and said "La La means I Love You". And that how the song was born. Baby Talk! It never fails guys!! LOL

Another one of those songs that transcends time and has not forgotten, and this is a great group😊

The Stylistics were similar to the Delfonics (but with more hits). You reacted to one of their songs but I hope you check out more of their music. Perhaps starting with "You Make Me Feel Brand New."

@Derek-jl5nw You Make Me Feel Brand New was me and my then boyfriend's "song." I got to hear them play it live back in the day, at a place called Barney Google's on the upper east side of Manhattan. They turned it into a 10 minute song!

Didnt I Blow Your Mind by the Delfonics Its a must hear!!!!!

I love my rock and pop but I also love soul and R&B and this group and song is the perfect example. I actually get chills listening to the Delfonics, Stylistics and Chi-Lites just to name a few

This sweet and heartbreaking little song pretty much epitomizes the Philly Soul Sound. Now you can hear where The BeeGees and Hall and Oates got their influences. Another object lesson as to why we oldtimers think today's music is one long dookey stick.

This is the style you'd hear on a 60s Soul Station too.

One of the TOP falsetto vocal groups of all time right here!!!!! Perfect. Check out their hit "Didn't I blow your mind this time." One of the best break up songs ever! Watch them do their thing on Soul Train. Philly soul gave Detroit's Motown a run for their money and it all made for beautiful music. Song begins with a French Horn/Electric Sitar/Xylophone combo! The great Thom Bell's Production. Brilliant!

William Hart was the lead singer. He sadly passed away last year. His voice was very beautiful and he actually co-wrote this song

These guys played at a local high school gym back in 1972.. They were great

OoooWeee! One of my favorite groups from the early 70's! Please explore them some more!! Check out "Didn't I blow your mind this time" or "Trying to make a fool of me" or " I'm Sorry" OMG! Love the Delfonics!!

My favorite of the Delfonics is Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time) The harmony is great!

I'm an old punk rocker/prog rock fan from the UK, but this is a song I remember being on the radio in my childhood, I loved it then, I love it now :)

One of my alltime favorites. The sad thing about these amazing oldies is they are far too short.

Good Pick guys! I love the Delfonics music, next song by the Delfonics you need to check out is Didn't I blow your mind. Or similar sounding songs that you guys should check out as well like The Moments with Love on a two way street, or Eddie Holiman with Hey There Lonely Girl.

Omg the delfonics...now you're talking my language. Such a great love song.

"Didn't I blow your mind this time"... Another slam dunk song by them!...

One of the most beautiful songs of the Philly Groove Records catalog ❤❤

Didn't I blow your mind this time. Another great song of theirs.

I feel sorry for anyone who didn’t grow up with this music. Ahhhh, brings back memories.

A soul classic that sounded great thru the radio...

Absolutely love this song! The falsetto 👩🏻‍🍳💋. Yall should check out Brenton Wood, I’m sure you’ll like him “Gimme little sign” “Baby You Got It” “I like the way you love me”

Something about this song always made me think of hangin' out at home on a Saturday night with your special love, cooking dinner together, and slow dancin' with each other while you wait for dinner to finish....just a casual, romantic, KIND sort-of-tune....and, their vocals are just SO GOOD!!! GREAT REACTION, JAY & AMBER!! 'PRECIATE YOU!! 🙂🙂🙂❤❤❤

Gotta love Amber's reaction to this. The sweetest I've ever seen from her.

They ALWAYS sounds great!!

I haven't heard this song in YEARS! I think it is something my dad would listen to. Shows that one should explore what music is out there, and not just in the present.

Guys thanks for reacting to one of the best groups from the soul years. Here's a couple of suggestions for the Delfonics You've Been Untrue (1967) Break your Promise (1968) I'm Sorry (1968) Can You Remember (1968) Somebody Loves You Girl(1969) Trying To Make A Fool Of Me(1969) Baby I Love You (1970) Didn't IBlow Your Mind This One (1970) When You Get Right Down To It (1970) Over And Over (1971) Looking For A Girlfriend (1972) Tell Me This Is A Dream (1972 Think It Over (1973) I Told You So (1974) Lying To Myself (1974) Thanks for the great music Jay and Amber 😊

One of the greatest songs ever. This is categorized Philly Soul. William Hart was a great singer. I loved this beautiful song the first time I heard in 68, still do, timeless. Didn't I Blow Yr Mind This Time is equally as good out in 1970.

Delfonics is one of the GOATS in my opinion.

I was in Jr high when this song came out and I was in Love with the Delfonics. Other hits Didn't I Blow Your Mind, Somebody Loves You, Hey Love, to name a few. The Delfonics are R&B legends and had one of the greatest falsetto singers along with the Chi-lites. Unforgetable 60's-70's music.

You can't help but sing along to this ole favorite.

The harmonies on this song is glorious. Still try to sing the harmonies on this when I hear it, like we used to do when hearing this on the radio

In 1968, this was like the first song that kicked off the Philly Soul sound that would soon overtake Motown and dominate the early 70's

The lead singer, William Hart was blessed with a natural first tenor. He doesn't sing falsetto.

Now you have hit the correct era of soul music when it was real and sounding good to the soul! ("68"-"82") Check out their song "Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time" If you want another out of a million falsetto gems from that period check out "Hey There Lonely Girl" by Eddie Holman and The Bloodstones singing "Natural High" and anything by Blue Magic and the Moments.

I hope at the end of my life I get a chance to thank some of these musicians for making my life so wonderful. This music grabs me by the heart and brings me back to places in my past that I treasure.

That song brings back memories like no other from that time period

The Genius of the LEGENDARY Iconic William Poogie Hart and Mr Thom Bell a true musical Giant 🎼

When lyrics had meaning.....I'm so thankful I grew up listening to this music.

This is your typical late 60s/early 70s slow R & B groove - I sure do miss those days!

I couldn't be any more thrilled and happy that you reacted to this song! Oh my word, it just melts me like butter every time. One of my most romantic faves! Now you just have to do "Didn't I Blow Your Mind"! Please! 😁

Finally! They were such an influential group. RIP William "Poogie" Hart. Until his last days, this man could sing. ✌️😁❤️🎶🎶🎶

See, This is what I'm talking about long legendary 🎶 this song is over 55 years I remember when this song was released all their songs and albums are off the hook 🤩 they should have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with the stylistics , from the group Major Harris, passed away in 2012 , lead singer of The delfonics just recently passed away in 2022 William " pookie. "Hart , The last surviving group member Wilbert Hart is still performing , one of my favorite old schooler's music 🎶 group. Old schooler's music never dies.

It's funny listening to Jay describe the type of music he likes. He likes them old school slow jams! You have to listen to this in your garage, cryin', singin', and dancin' by yourself with a 40. I'm sober now, but that's really the best way.

Todd Rundgren does a very cool blue-eyed soul version of this tune on his 'A Wizard/A True Star' album.

If you like falsetto, react to Little Anthony and the Imperial's "Hurt So Bad" and "Going Out of My Head." Must Listen.

Soul is my favorite genre of music, especially from the 60’s and 70’s. The Delfonics, The Intruders, The Dramatics and from the Motown sound are some of my favorites. Can you please react to Stillwater (Love) by The Four Tops 😊

At last one of my favourite soul songs.

I came 68 !! August 5th this was the jam on AM Radio and TV . I want my clothes back !!!

The best. I love this song. Great wedding song for the 1st dance.

The most beautiful song. I'm a Philly native so I'm very familiar with the Delfonics. I was lucky to see them in concert with The Stylistics. I'm so glad you chose this song ❤

When my son was a baby this song was all that would stop him crying.

Philly proud….luv the Delfonics harmonies!

favorite of all time year after year......you kids ....your hearts are so pure. tears of joy from an old dude like me seeing how much u feel it !

I loved this soul from when I was a little kid, I fell in love with it and never fell out. Neither will you.

This is THE falsetto! I was introduced to them through “Didn’t I Blow Your Mind” on the Jackie Brown soundtrack ❤️

Our Band used to play this one and since I was the Youngest and my voice was still in the high range I got sing those high parts LOL Great Old Tune

This just screams childhood to me❤ mind you im only 19 😂 ❤my dad would constantly play this song in the house❤

Some of their other jams - When You Get Right Down To It, Break Your Promise and Ready Or Not.

G. Q. " I Do Love You " 70s Soul youguys won't be disappointed with this song , the sound along with the soulful voices is just amazing. Took me at least a decade to find out who was the band's name and once I did I never forgot it. This channel is awsome cuz there's so many groovy artists from the best decades, and their music is being showcased here thanks everyone.

Top choice. The Delfonics were amazing. If you liked this super smooth soul that hit the music world when it expolded out of Philadelphia then you NEED to listen to Blue Magic "Whats come over me" is a great start point. Then listen to the greatest falcetto of all time Eddie Holman "My mind keeps telling me" so smooth. Then if you really want to dig deep check out The Controllers, 'Someones gotta win' if you dare. Love watching you guys. Have a great Christmas.

One of my favourite songs, just pure class

So good hearing song again. Forgot how beautiful it is. Enjoying your reaction!

Simple song simple soft harmony romantic perfectly written.

My dad grew up with this music. He always played the 50’s on the radio. I would never admit it to him that I started to love this music too. I always think of him when I hear the “oldies”. Miss you daddy❤

Growing up hearing this kind of music with my mom brings back so many good memories. The lead singer just died in 2022 I think

:Back in the day - groups knew how to express love and emotion. 🔥🔥👍

I read in the comment section of another reactor who did this song, the Lila comes from the lead singer is a little girl. She was little and couldn’t say I love you to her dad so she said Lala. That’s how he came up with this song Lala means I love you❤

"When you get right down to it",my favorite Delfonis song.Has a little sax,and some horns.

1968 may have been the best year in the history of music. Listening to this on WLS from Chicago at night.....you could hear this station several hundred miles away. Even in southern Missouri.

That is a great album. You can't go wrong with any of their songs. They are an excellent group. Soul for your Soul ❤ Thanks so glad to hear it again.

Great Jukebox song! Everybody loved this song!

Back when I was a teenager, this was one of the songs we slow danced to. (Nothing like being held by your sweetheart to this song!) No offence to the music you have today, but we really had the BEST! So much feeling in the words and the melody. And the vocals were on spot! We were so blessed to have these singers.....❤❤❤

This song brings out the romantic in everybody!

Yes Delfonics was always on AM radio during the 60s...what a background sound for a girl growing up in Queens...'Didn't I blow your mind' MUST be on your playlist...love you two so much😊
