: "Till the Right One Comes Along" was released on their 1981 album, Stay , through Polydor Records.

You just gotta wait Till the right one comes along You just gotta wait Till the right one comes along Don't settle for less, give it your best And you'll find happiness You just gotta wait Till the right one comes along

To understand the weight of "Till The Right One Comes Along," we must first understand the turmoil behind the group. The original lineup—Harry Ray, Al Goodman, and Billy Brown—had already conquered the charts as The Moments with hits like "Sexy Mama" and the number-one R&B smash "Look at Me (I’m in Love)." However, by 1979, legal disputes over the "Moments" name forced the trio to make a bold move.

The track's endurance is largely due to the group's "tight-harmony" legacy, which helped bridge the gap between 60s doo-wop and modern R&B. It captured the essence of waiting for a soulmate—a theme that mirrored the group's own journey of waiting for the right moment to reclaim their creative freedom.

Harry Ray, Al Goodman, and Billy Brown don’t just sing—they converse in harmony. Their blend is effortless: smooth lead verses, cushioned by background coos that feel like reassurance from close friends. The way they stretch the word “along” over the chorus is pure silk. No vocal gymnastics; just soulful restraint.

“I want a woman who’s secure / With her own identity / Not a girl who needs a man / To validate her destiny.”
