The Delfonics
The Delfonics are a pioneering Philadelphia soul singing group, popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Their most notable hits include "La-La (Means I Love You)", "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)", "Break Your Promise", "I'm Sorry", and "Ready or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide from Love)". Their hit songs were all written by songwriter and producer Thom Bell and lead vocalist and founder William Hart.
Their songs have been used extensively in film soundtracks, including Quentin Tarantino's 1997 movie Jackie Brown, in which "La-La (Means I Love You)" and "Didn't I Blow Your Mind" underscore the pivotal relationship between the characters played by Pam Grier and Robert Forster.
Their songs "Ready or Not Here I Come (Can't Hide from Love)" and "Funny Feeling" were used in the video game Grand Theft Auto V on the fictional radio station The Lowdown 91.1.
Their songs have been sampled extensively by various hip-hop and rap artists including: The Wu-Tang Clan, Fugees, Deltron 3030, The Notorious B.I.G., Nas, Boyz II Men, Missy Elliott and DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince.

Funny Feeling
by: DelfonicsThe world that you live in is grooving
(Grooving, grooving, grooving)
All the things on the street just a-moving
(Moving, moving, moving)
And every time that?
And you know that you got nowhere to run
Well, I wanna know
Do you got that funny feeling
Well, do you got that funny feeling
You walk? feeling funny
And you feel that you don't need no money
And you find that you're rocking and reeling
And you?
Well, I wanna know
Do you got that funny feeling
Do you got that funny feeling
Are you feeling groovy, baby
Are you feeling good
I can't get no sleep at night
