The Five Heartbeats

"I rewatched this movie again (this is like the 12th time since it was released) last night. This movie is a classic and shows how talented Robert Townsend has been for so long now. It was so good to see so many great actors that are still around today, and some who are no longer with us. The music was amazing. If I'm not mistaken, I think I remember the real group The Dells doing the vocals for the movie. It has a good storyline that didn't focus on greed as the primary driver for issues and showed a balance of black men supporting each other even when they made mistakes. I'll always give this movie an A++++"

"A fun watch, definitely recommend it if you like soul music!"

"This is my favorite and most underrated movie of all-time. It really captures the struggle and triumphs of those doo-wop turned 80s soul groups. #blackexcellence "

"Primm gotta do this one @moses_primm "

"My second favorite Black musical with The Wiz being the first "

"It's not only a great movie, but for a while I actually thought this was a real group, even though it was inspired by other male groups like The Temptations and The Four Tops and ect. "

"Days like this..I wish raindrops would fall."

"This is classic! You think nobody came to see Otis... try Eddie King aka Eddie Cain"

"Nobody can sang like Eddie Kane."
