I was lucky enough to see them live in 1968. I was in the Navy and my ship was in Boston, three of my black buddies ask me if I wanted to go with them to see the Delfonics, I said yes. The Delfonics were playing at a place called the Sugar Shack and I ended up being one of a very few white folks in the place, it was quite a show, I've never forgotten it!

The Delfonics ,"When you get right down to it"is everything.

Oh my gosh, I was little when this first came out; if I'm reading it right, then I was about 4. So I learned to like it years later; it still got played on the radio now and then. Anyway, thank you again, Miss Lizzie; you give me a place where I can escape the world outside for awhile. That's worth so much; God bless you💖🌞😊. And Beary, too😊.

Tierra made a pretty good cover of "I Do Love You" also.

The soul music from back then had some of the best love songs of all time.

Lizzie, just a side note from a now 70 year old man from the Philly area of Pennsylvania. The Delfonics play this song and most of the others on this album live at my senior prom. For real, they were fantastic. Enjoy the Philadelphia sound.

Harmonies and falsetto. Perfection. Period! 💗

So good to see someone who loves this song as I did when it came out and still do.

Haha. Silk Sonic straight up lifted some of the Delfonics' smooth moves. Way to pay homage!

Just to let you know that the 1960's to the late 1970's was the Best Era for R & B Groups. Them, The Chi-Lites, The Stylistics, the Manhattans, Intruders, Dramatics, Floaters, The Spinners. They like The Tavares are also from Philly that has had some amazing Soul Acts. Daryl Hall & John Oates do their version of "Didn't I Blow Your Mind". The Jackson Five also did "their" Version on their Debut Album for Motown in 1970.

Loved the Delfonics and Stylistics.

This song is pure oldies Gold !

One of my favorites great slow dance record at all of the record hops in Philly plus a Philly group.

La La Means… The Delfonics song should be immediately followed with “How About Us” from Champagne.

This is my favorite song by The Delfonics. Perfection from start to finish. #HomeGrown 💛
