 Five stars for Content minus 1 for Amazon!Jun 15, 2009
This is a great piece of early 70's, non-disco influenced soul music. My only gripe is about Amazon's pricing. $6.99 for a hard copy/shipped and $9.99 to download. Hardly seems fairly priced. Gotta give us a "Green" break.

I'm not black.. and you DON'T have to be to enjoy this fantastic cd of soulful harmonizing and political lyrics. Yeah.. these guys were smooth but dropped jewels as well. A sign of its time, but still can appreciate what they attempted to do: get the girls and politicize the community.

Wanting to go "back in the day?" If this doesn't take you back nothing does. All I can say is, WOW!!!!.
They Gave To Us...Nov 03, 2008
Stone Cold Classic...1970, 8th/9th grade, Jr. High School. Felicia gave some slammin' house parties.
You'd get your 'knit' out of the cleaners, shine your 'Flagg Bros' boots, match your 'thick-n-thin' silk socks, Continential cut (straight leg, slightly high water) slacks, and your Panther style, black leather jacket. 'Fro had to be picked out to the max', with; 'BRUT', 'English Leather', 'Hai Karate', 'Jade East' or 'Old Spice' colonge overwhelming the 'Right Guard' deodorant you sprayed too much of on...and finally a 'Dutch Masters' cherry cigar, unlit...to top it off. There were no fights, no guns, no knives, not seriously anyway...everybody just wanted to slow-drag and the classic 'I Gave to You' WAS the cut. Everytime I hear it...I'm back in Felicia's basement, under that blue light, trying to get through the night...

One of the Greatest RnB Groups of All TimeMar 16, 2008
The Philly legensds, The Delfonics release their 3rd album, their self-titled 1970 classic. This album has some real memorable cuts here. I really dig William Hart's falsetto "Trying To Make A Fool Of Me" is such a beautiful track; it has some of the best choral harmonization I have ever heard. The beat is nice, rolling funk with a nice sitar and horn added. The joint is kinda sad where a guy needs to be let go in a head-game filled relationship. It is one of my favorite soul jams ever. "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind this Time)" again employs the early 70's sitar trademark. Again, the harmonization is outstanding, and the chorus has a heavenly, airy feel to it. A sweet slow jam is "I Gave To You." William Hart really digs deep into the soul with this romantic charmer. "Baby I Love You" is a nice, mid-tempo joint lush with melody and a upbeat vibe. When the group "bop bop bop bop's" early and later on, it will give you goosebumps. "Down Is Up, Up Is Down" is faster paced deals with more hardships of the romance game using an interesting metaphor. "Funny Feeling" is even faster paced, cool for dancin' to. All I can add is that the album is wonderful; I hear nothing today that even gomes a hundredth of the way to measuring up to this one, and this album is 12 years older than I am. The Delfonics are one of my favorite soul groups (along with the Stylistics).
