  • 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.

  • Did u see Ricky Martin??

  • i can listen and view this video everyday, Whitney is beautiful.

  • Amazing song, amazing artists. Much love to those that truly felt the music of substance that they delivered to the world.

  • I miss the 80's. It was more about the music and we had talented artist who could really sing and rap. Wow how the world has changed.....

  • GREAT Just absolutely GREAT.

  • Yo. that video had some real star power in it. Those were some HUGE acts back then.

  • Damn idk but man i luv me sum Lisa Lisa shes sooo SEXY!!!!

  • By far the best Martin Luther King song of all time. Love it!!

  • LOL @ Michael Bivens from New Edition putting his arms around those girls @ 5:05

  • 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

  • tears and goosebumps EVERY year when I watch it. So dope to all these guys doin their thang for the cause!!

  • 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

  • I haven't seen this since the Box was on TV years ago! WOW! I'm getting old. Thumbs up if you remember the Box. Music Television You Control!

  • This needs to be re-created every year! King's Holiday '12-'13-'14 ect.Today's artists don't care about their history/heritage anymore.

  • Dx

  • RUN (from Run-DMC) is not in this video because his Lung Collapsed from smoking weed.

  • Good Bless this Man.... We love you Dr. Martin Luther King Jr....

  • Calssic!

  • Happy Birthday to Dr. King!!!

  • 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.

  • Happy MLK Day..!! I love this video..

  • @preo2 soo true the sad part is they dont care ne more.....

  • wow great quality! 

  • I love how the guy from kool and the gang was trying to be sexy even when singing about MLK lmao

  • @trynago Thats J.T Taylor, He was born sexy! lol He could sing about taking a dump more sexy then a white man singing about making love! LOL jk

  • Lol @ Ricky Martin 5:36. Its crazy to see how much everyone has changed in today's age

  • 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!!

  • Love this song,Dr.King was a powerful man.who knows where we would be without him.enjoy the King holiday

  • 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 lol, you are so rite...they wouldnt be able to do it without dropping sum F bombs in there!

  • @preo2 Just look at that smile on Kurtis Blow's face @5:36 . I don't think they could even do that!!

  • @preo2 No that would be a great.He would love it.

  • @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

  • @preo2 LOL...haha

  • @preo2 Lol no and if they did, it would be a travesty

  • @preo2 LOL. I couldn't see them doing this, lol.

  • @preo2 Those fools stand for everything Dr. King didn't. He's probably looking down on them idiots and saying "This is what I fought for?"

  • 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.

  • sadly this would be a great song without the rap/ i enjoy rap but it does not fit in

  • Being waiting to hear it on the radio and the video

  • 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.

  • @flous1 back in the 80"s especially artists back then got together without egos it wasnt money doing song for causes.

  • @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. 

  • @trkk01 you got that right brother!!

  • 1:55 -- I knew Menudo was in this song, but I just now realized that was Ricky Martin right there.

  • God this makes me so happy. So much sweet ear-pleasing talent. Better than my first kiss.
