[hmbell2002]

@philly1252 if you don't like, listen to something else. FYI she was a fine ass fat bitch.

[philly1252]

i hated this song fat bitch

[maxinebendix]

@philly1252 Well I hate you and I ain't even met yer...®©™

[btinsley1]

@philly1252: your channel suggests you have some education....but your comment indicates otherwise with regard to this deceased talented artist...show some respect for those that have gone before you....

[IamKushiro2]

senior in high school when this song came out... i was listening to this today and decided that this should be my ringtone!!!! cause i don't want a man that ain't got a JOB and ain't trying to get one...

[assault70]

house music at its best!!!

[RedBlazeKid]

Deadbeats in general........is it genetic to always find a deadbeat?

[WILDSTYLENYC]

That's the reality of life. She is saying I don't want a 35 year old loser who lives in the basement with his mom's.

[QUiETNOiSE916]

That's right, sorry but nobody is taking care of a bum ass dude!

[Queen4adisa2c]

If this aint the hip swayin, upper lip twisted, finga snappin truth, I don't know what is!!!!!

[sjr10011]

Turn it up!!!

[5marjanovic]

thumbs up if Eddie Murphy braught you to this song.

[tambiegurl]

i love the beat

[crazyjoy83]

THIS IS A REAL SONG"NOTHING GOING BUT THE RENT" LOLLL!

[dmb851290]

To hell with all the "gold diggin'" and "feminist principles". I work every day and pay my own bills but I'll be damned if I have time for a broke ass who brings nothing to the table. Yes -- "you got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me." No real man would even step to a woman knowing he can't do anything for her. Great song Gwen! Love ya! You will never be forgotten!

[n0bsauce]

rip

[fredrik103]

this is it !!!!Thank you jonnyleith.

[silverdove77]

Need this video right now. Thank you!

[yummymiss1019]

"But i will have to avoid you if you're unemployed" In these tough times, this principle will have you dateless. LOL

[MrPosh55]

Amazing, classic track with perfect vocals.

[BIGBABYNETTA]

NO ROMANCE WITHOUT FINANCE & MARRIAGE LICENSE

[AFFORD2TRAVEL]

Today's men can't handle a song like this today since most CANT Man UP, most of them lives off of women, but not this one I'm too smart for that shit

[AFFORD2TRAVEL]

She was one of Madonna's back-up singrs in the early 1980's it was in one of those M biography books, well I guess that's who her inspiration came from the Material Girl, but this song is rough as shit, my late sister used to sing this, ths was one of her favorite songs

[kwacou]

@AFFORD2TRAVEL Doubt it. No Black woman has been inspired by Madonna, Black Women have their own to inspire them: Billie Holiday, Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Etta James, Aretha, Gloria Gaynor, Josephine Baker, the list is endless

[burey1979]

GOLD DIGGER BITCH

[househeadericmd]

classic of all classic's - this defines underground 1980's house!!! fly girl like me needs security!!

[flickershade]

gggrrroooovey gwen!! I remeber rockin in the kitchen to this one... try some Chaka Kan, and Donna Summer clasics(not her new crap..) patrice rushen she did some great stuff, even produced the grammys for years!!

[thebirchmanste]

Yo am 22 , so the whole Disco era obviously passed me by , but if anyone could recommend some more of this kinda stuff , as in proper disco, I'd appreciate it, thanks, looking to listen to stuff along the lines of say the Dusty Fingers collections,that'd be awesome. Thanks!

[squareeyes2010]

[josephinewinter]

It's amazing how my feminist principles go out the window just because the music, lyrics and voice are amazing. 

[RuphosTehutiRa]

@josephinewinter FEMINISM takes a back seat with this song! LOL

[HunneeRose]

[sitdowndogbreath]

Well's there's sec 8, nah seriously, Gwen guthrie passed away a few yrs. ago from womans cancer.

[ripmowt]

do you suppose she borrowed lines from Billy Preston?"nothing from nothing leaves nothing.you got to have something if you want to be with me" hmm same and exact. but completely different songs

[Bijan630]

Just when you thought you were tired and ready to take a seat, this song comes on and your body has a mind of it's own as you continue to dance.

[lecool112]

A german boy from Seville (South of Spain).

[loosestudios]

She died of uterine cancer on February 3, 1999, at the age of 48, and was interred in Fairmount Cemetery in Newark, New Jersey.

hen a backup singer scheduled to sing on Aretha Franklin's 1974 single "I'm in Love" fell ill, Guthrie took the vocalist's place beside Cissy Houston; thus Guthrie would happily state that her career on record began "at the top". She soon teamed musically with famed Paradise Garage DJ Larry Levan, and recorded her first major landmark hit, "Padlock" in 1983

[cxt1974chevette]

This songs fantastic............

[defjam1075]

CLASSIC

[boru25]

This songts a classic! Anyone agree?

[househeadericmd]

as good as it gets i remember a drag queen that use to lipsink this jam all the time in a gay club in syracuse ny - good times!!!!

[BabyJaneHudson]

"Ain't nothin goin on but the rent!

Mr Obama will fix it all for us, I hope.

[boru25]

I hope he cleans up the mess Bush made and lead America into a brighter future.

[starrywalsh]

@boru25 Do you really think one man is responsible for the condition of a whole country, Listen to Alex Jones and educate yourself. xxx

[RedBlazeKid]

@boru25 He is not a miracle worker....he can only clean one mess at a time...but unfortunately, his priorities are in the correct order. He needs to study Cal Coolidge strategy for working with a disabled economy. He is no worse, no better than anyone else available for that office at present.

[casioplayer]

It's definitely a classic.

[maznat24]

@boru25 too right it is pal-u know your stuff!

[ttdean]

@boru25 I certainly agree. It reminds of summertime jams in the projects, when chicks heard this song, they sang it out LOUD!

[Quaisheezy]

@boru25 I agree.

[slipdisco]

@boru25 Absolutely!

[Terence7414]

till this day im hearin the same thang!!!

[waygate]

[hardcorehouse]

The usual sophistication from a Paradise Garage production.

[yesiamkali]

whoa, I used to dance to this in my bedroom - LOVE IT!

[stev1963hit]

This is one of those records that transcends genre boundaries...i'm punk & indie to my bones,but have always loved it-thanks for u-loading.

[rell27]

Everytime I hear this song I think of a cookout I went to when I was seven and watchin all the heavy set black women doing the electric slide with there plates in there hands....lol.

[smittied72]

lol

[thetrendblazer]

LOL! I get the visual. . .

[househeadericmd]

[Carlfu]

WHERE'S THE CAMERA WHEN YOU NEED IT?

[jposh707]

@rell27 Wow, well that's quite a mental image! I would never forget that either. :-)

[SweetXavier]

[AFCA4EVER]

Great production. Killer bassline!!

[jakelong900]

I can relate to what she is saying, I mean there's nothing going but the rent you just can't live with no body for free hell naw.

[johnnyleith]

I agree they should play this on shows like "The Jeremy Kyle Show" which is a uk version of Springer!

[HarlemHyena]

@johnnyleith Do they have a "Jeremy, Jeremy, Jeremy!" chant or anything similar? lol

[0508815505]

TKS Johnny. Excellent version - love the extension- she was fabulous....IMO totally undershot her true potential commercially.

[boru25]

I 1st heard this on 'Zig n Zags million quid vid'.

[DaYuMu6ft7]

Ha Ha!! I remember when Eddie Murphy said "Nothing for nothing leaves nothing" in the comedy concert "Raw" (class of 89)

[tradergirljam]
