I loved all of them except that synth funk jam with Flash joined the group (it was all right.)

Baby, Stop Running Around from Bird and the Midnight Falcons and Donw For the Count from Flash and the Ebony Sparks. I think both would have been hits if actually released back in the 60s.

A Heart is a House for Love, Nights Like This, Nothing But Love and We Haven't Finished Yet are tops for me.

nights like this... I wish

Rain drops would fa-hahahalllll...

Who would you have singing those cuts back in the day?

Of course the Dells for "A Heart ..." Nothin But Love, I could see the Levi tearing that up.

NBL was definitely a Tempts song.

I'd have the Four Tops doing Nights Like This and We Haven't Finished Yet.

Nights like this I wish....that raindrops would falllllllll...

written by none other than Jesse Johnson

Nights Like This is the gem of gems in that film. although I rather like that song that Flash and Leon's character ended up doing an unintentional duet on. You know the one where they're serenading the lady in the audience and her date up and leaves her.

"Come back...come back...to MEEEEE HEEEEEEE!!!!!"

Love it!!!!

that disco song they sang was cool too...."Every time I try to leave....I keep coming back...back in the middle....It really makes no sense to me......something something"

But by far "Night's Like This" is my absolute fav. My favorite scene in the entire movie is when they are singing that song with the blue and silver outfits and Eddie belts out: "let it rain, let it rain on me yeah!!! Night's like this I wish, I wish that rain drops would fall....OHHHHHH BABBBBAAAAYYYYYY!!!!"

Damn, I love that movie.

Yeah, that sounds about right

I rarely pick up a broom to sweep without bursting into We Haven't Finished Yet.

You have to buy the soundtrack. I dont think you can get that song as a single. Amazon had the soundtrack for awhile. I got mine way back when.

Thank you! I was just going to ask, "Didn't Jesse Johnson write that song?", but you answered the question for me.

The Time's Jesse Johnson???

Didn't know that

"Nothing But Love" really runs the gamut of emotions in the movie with 3 versions:

1. "Eddie running for his life" Heartbeats version
2. "Pulled over by the cops" a cappella version
3. "We got soul" Horsemen version

You forgot #4: the adulation the group got when the song hit the radio:

Duck & JT: " "
