THIS IS WORTH MONEY. THESE ARTIST PAVED THE WAY FOR ALOT OF PEOPLE TODAY. WHAT A GREAT MESSAGE AND THEY LOOK LIKE THEY ARE HAVING SO MUCH FUN. WHITNEY HOUSTON, KURTIS BLOW, FAT BOYS, MY GIRL TEENA MARIE AND MENUDO JUST GREAT!!!! HAPPY MLK DAY! LOVE AND PEACE
The local news came to my school long ago when i was in like 2nd or 3rd grade (80's) and we lip sync on T.V for the news that evening. I thought I was Curtis Blow LOLOL
I am thankful to have grown up in an era where people could come together and enjoy the company of one another. Not caring about their statuses....that is no longer the case, the industry is financially and image driven, no real music , just gangsters and hoes on cd's
In 1986 i was in the 1st grade and another student's mother brought this video in on VHS for the class to watch. Since then, i always sing the hook on MLK Day. Thanks to youtube, this video will live on for me to show my nieces and nephews. Sad that we don't have songs like this anymore.
I get goosebumps everytime I watch this vid. And I can never watch it just once. I love seeing musicians from the 80s. I can't imagine a better group of artists to do this video and to sing in the video. ♪Siiiiiiiiiiiing Celebrate...Sing Sing Celebrate for the Kiiiing Celebrate♪ Man I love Old School!
@AshleyBellaDonna91 I feel exactly the same way: the goosebumps, watching it over, love seeing musicians for the 80s. Happy MLK Day to you. Sing for a King!!
LOL! Can you imagine if today's rappers tried to do a song like this? Could you see Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne. Soulja Boy, Drake, Wiz Kalifah, and other wack ass rappers of today doing a MLK tribute? Jesus. Dr. King would roll over in his grave.
@preo2 OMG!!!! Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee that is just wild and incredibly crazy!!!!!!!! 80s had the dope music that made you think, and now it's just wayward -_-". <3
Thanks for having this posted. Marting luther King jr was a wonderful man and in life as in death he is never forgotten and has inspired someone like me to fight for what is right, voice my opinion without violence and educate myself always.....Thanks for having this. I have the 12in single that you are showing on this video and i love to play it every year..Thanks.
I Love, Love Love this song. All of the best Old School Artists. I get chills everytime Tima Marie sings her part. God Bless Her and all the others who have passed on from this video.
I still own the 12" bought back in 86. First time seeing the video.
@AGLegend01 I teared up us well!! Still can't get over that Teena Marie passed on!! This song is so awesome and love how it payed respect to Dr. King as well. I might not be black but I'm happy that this man stood up for everybody's rights. RIP Teena Marie and Dr. King!! To all the artist on this song!! You all rock!!
I LOVE THIS SONG... I WOULD LOVE TO SEE TODAYS ARTIST MAKE A TRIBUTE SONG LIKE THIS...YEAH RIGHT LOL THANKS FOR POSTING THIS I WAS ONLY 4 WHEN THIS CAME OUT BUT I REMEMBER WAITING FOR IT EVERY KING HOLIDAY....YOUTUBE IS THE ISH!!...
@trkk01 you got that right; I loved being a kid in that era. It was about partying, having a good time and no drama like today. Great groups for a great cause.
Love this part most. 3.46 Listen children of today don't think love has gone away, its in your heart and mind. JT I cannot describe your voice.
