A Few Things I Learned From The Five Heartbeats


The Five Heartbeats have nothing but love for you, baby.

The boys have been together at least since high school.

Big Red's office hours are... from 9.. to 5.

Robert Townsend's girlfriend loves JT but is in love with... Duck.

There's no quieter method of killing a manager than using a big garbage truck in the middle of the night.

"My name is Anthony Stone, and people call me... Rock. (lol)"

Eddie isnt sure if they still want to hang with old Eddie Cain.

Big Red wants to know "Which color yall want?!"

The whole world is an ashtray to Eddie Cain

Very interesting!!!!!!!lol

Always look both ways before stepping in the street if you're having a dispute with a record label owner.

Bird can't really fly esp when he is hanging over a balcony upside down.


Duck wrote all the songs in five part harmony.

Shy brother is a good way to pick up chicks as long as your brother isn't a big douche. However if he is it's easy to get him back.


Dresser does the choreography. If you don't like it tell him don't bring in some broke down

good 1 about bird!

the m.c. doesn't make the house rules.
having 1 or 2 drinks could make you an alcoholic.
when someone is imitating your style, ask them "how does it feel to be me?"
the best time to hit on a widow is at her deceased husband's funeral.

Big Red is one heck of an actor, judging from that funeral scene.

Duck looks exactly like a Salvation Army employee.

Anne Marie Johnson is smart enough to know what rhymes with carriage and starts with "m".

If you can have any woman you want, the woman who your brother finally falls in love with should be your first choice.

The Four Horsemen will outlast The Five Heartbeats. I'm sure those stylish wigs help.

Big Red tells tired, old jokes and thinks that they are hilarious.

If you mess with Sarge, he'll take you outside and beat yo' ass like ya stole somethin'!

Your kid sister is just good enough to help you write and sing songs, but not good enough to join the band.

A group with a name like "The Brownsville Boys" can actually be successful.

JT and Duck apparently have an ability to sing without actually opening their mouths (see the talent show when Choir Boy is returning to the stage).

Telling a girl you want to walk to edge of erotica will guarantee instant panty-dropping.

Old country boys with "small, little companies" are also fluent in French.

One long note can make a woman climax. (I need to learn how to sing. lol)

The best way to show your concern for a child is to tell him he won't be s**t.

There are no stupid comments, just stupid people...

sarge (harold nicholas) will whip ya like you stole somethin,and always has a pretty girl half his age on his arm

*eddie kang aint gonna be sh!! cuzz his daddy aint sh!!



The game done changed....Game's the same,just got more fierce..

- The Five Horsemen got soul!

If you wear dirty, nasty pants over your old stage clothes, they will remain spotless...
NEVER interrupt your boss when he's telling tired jokes...
crying cleans patent leather shoes...
If you throw enough paper around a room, you can write a song...
Jheri Curls were around in the 60s...
Your boyfriend will not appreciate a singer making you pass out right in front of him...
The Ebony Sparks were The Five Horsemen in a past life...
Lip syncing was ALWAYS a bad idea...

Its Lonely at the top according to Flash

Choir boy thinks churches are great "investments"

Eddie Caine "feels like going On"

A finger wave will turn into a Jheri Curl after a few seconds of fighting.

It's always a good idea to talk about your royalties at a party.

Pretty girls hate poets but love songwriters.

Flash will eventually take your spot.

The Five Heartbeats had Roger Troutman's sound in the early '70s.






The truth is mightier than the sword.

reply

they weren't jheri curls... they were processes....

a few things i learned from life: don't comment on things which you know absolutely nothing about... it makes you sound like an idiot...

reply

Big Red's hair looked like a Jheri curl, not a process, after the fight. But thanks for your two cents worth of indignation.




The truth is mightier than the sword.

reply

lol @ jheri curls were around in the 60s. we always commented about that.

If you leave your Bible at a phone booth, something bad is sure to happen.

Never go to a middle class girl's house wearing mix matched shoes. Her mother will think you're with the Salvation Army.

If you are in the south driving in the middle of the night and a couple of racist cops pull you over, just sing "I got nothin but love for you baby" in acapella and everything will be alright.

Never trust a choir boy. He knows all your parts and will probably try to take your position in the group. He'll also help your girlfriend cheat on you with your brother.

When your ex group mate is down on his luck and asks you for his job back before doing an impromptu audition, give him your business card and tell him that he's making a fool out of himself.

If you're on your way to catch your girlfriend cheating, it won't even faze you when the radio says that your ex group mate has just been shot, while trying to hold up a liquor store.

The Five Horsemen sound a lot like a 90's, R&B girl group. (watch the video soul video that the kids were watching at the barbeque).


Happy 2014!!!
