Oh, woww!! I LOVED this song back in 1985. It was the "Mas Mas" (the Top) for a couple of weeks back home, a big hit in early 1985, but I had never watched the video :o Thanks for posting this!

[electrictroy2010]

@jotaceia You mean early 1986 (when it became # 1 on the dance chart)

[mariojimenezcastillo]

This song brings me some many memories when I was in middle school!!

[fnordist]

is the hiss noise in the record supposed to be or a accustc effect? it sounds like a uncalibrated turntable

[sweiland75]

According to Wikipedia, Alisha would have only been about 16 when this song came out. She looks much older here. Must be the makeup or the video was recorded later than 1984.

[jukingeo]

@sweiland75 Probably a bit of both. Most artists from the dance genre didn't jump right away on the MTV bandwagon. Remember MTV only came out 3 years prior. Alisha was mostly played in the clubs before her music went mainstream so more then likely no video was initially made. I have heard of videos being made for songs as much as 10 to 15 years later. Usually the video is made out of a live/studio performance that is synced to the music...as probably would be the case here.

[coverdale20]

@asteiator I kinda see where you are coming from, but she could've done worse.... Sometimes these "copies" are good 'cause you can use them to keep the groove going....

[lauri1970]

hmmm Am I the only one who thinks she can't sing? great classic 80's song but no surprise we never heard from her again.

[MrRev2011]

just f ing awesome. what great memories

[asianamusement]

Epic dance music!

[rupke1967]

the 80's  can we bring this back ......i love it..

[snucke62a]

Now we're talking!! ;o)

A wonderful tune and a classic floorfiller back in 1986 - at least here in Sweden! :o)

[RvdB1965]

Lekker nummer uit mijn tijd

[midnitemassager]

real dance music ....not the watered down lifeless crap they play now....shameful

[TruDru1978]

This was A Hot Jam..I loved hearing it on the Radio, and would rock to it...I was about 7 when this came out!

[TheWassup03]

THE JAM BIG TIME BOY!!!

[mappam]

Alisha's band members are funky and her boyfriend is HOT!

[Francohouse1999]

Go girl!

[CosmicBass3000]

This one was a big part of my formative yrs! :-D

[CosmicBass3000]

This one was a big part of my formative yrs! :-D

[TimeBolt]

[Kormorant1]

Beautiful song !

[DullardGuy]

@Kormorant1 I still have the cassette all those songs rocked

[artbabylove]

back then, was the coochie being shaved?

[mobzapper]

@artbabylove Not with the girls I was dating. That didn't start becoming a trend until the mid 90's. Early 90's for the porno industry.

[artbabylove]

@mobzapper i remember growing up and it being trimmed, then next thing you know, smooth as silk...

[harrykappos]

To set the record straight about the similar base-line with Into The Groove: In 1987, Shep Pettibone added new material to Madonna's "Into the Groove", significantly changing the arrangement so that Madonna could get more stage time and a broader performance out of the song. Shep Pettibone had obviously been smitten with the record, as he had used the basic rhythm arrangement for New York teen queen Alisha's "Baby Talk" in 1985.

more on Wikipedia under Shep Pettibone

SICK ASS SONG

[KortaFlash]

Absolutely same amazing kind of production . And what A well writen song. They used all the slick tricks. Prince or Modona could pulled this off.

[tappansamara]

köszönet  a videó-ért! örök kedvencem marad.

[jeffltaylor2]

This song was in an episode of Moonlighting in the 80's- where a guy talks in his sleep

[CinnCity78]

does anyone else think she looks like Edie Falco?? WEIRD! LOL

[shaharmos]

great 80's

[poivreblanc38]

thank you

[skintrade]

brilliant stuff

[djangelish]

nice

[Laniemarie427]

Someone sent me this as one of their favorite 80's dance songs. I do not remember this song or artist. Maybe because if I had heard it on the radio, I would have thought it was Madonna. 'Alisha' reminds me of Lady Gaga though. All glitz and no glamour.

[CinnCity78]

@Laniemarie427 I also compared Lady Gaga to her. Similar voices. I think Gaga should re-do Alisha's hit "All Night Long".

[peltoch38]

une bombeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee  merciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­i

[phantomopera123]

i like black veil brides moe but my name is alisha so= im not so proud :D :D :D

Stephen_Bray

Basic on this song from the dazz bands let it all blow

Famous for producing and writing into the groove with Madonna.

[mfuji02]

@massrepeat it does sound like into the groove no wonder.

Stephen_Bray

[Doreen075]

I'd thought she would be pretty =(

She has a "nose" on her!

[JimmyRAD9]

Stephen Bray worked on this- note the similar bassline to "Into the Groove.'

Alisha was just one of many "wanna-bes" that mimicked Madonna's style. A lot of the freestyle wingers also would fall under that category. Madonna's debut album influenced and shaped dance-pop to come thereafter, without a doubt.

[padams24]

@JimmyRAD9 hmmm i wouldn't say she was trying to mimic Madonna, in this era of hotmixing and breaking she fell more into the harder dance category not pop

[SimmonsDrums]

Very good snare and toms! Thanx!

[hugman60]

Can remember listening and dancing to this song back in the day. Wants me to get out that red and black spandex one more time. Thanks for posting it.

[SuchAPrettyMess]

Alisha was 14 when she recorded her first album, what an amazing, mature sounding voice! Some people used to say she was another Madonna wannabe, I never thought she sounded anything like Madonna... in fact, I think Alisha sounds so much better.

[ShampooCell]

The beginning of this is so awesomely '80s too. She walks into the venue with her friend who asks in a very Brooklyn accent, "Is he gunna be he-ya tonight?" And Alisha's all, "I dunno."

[MoviesTubeYou0675]

Holy sh*t! I remember this jam! I was like 10 going on 11 years old in 1986 when this jam was out! I've been trying to find this jam for quite some time. This jam, along w/ Regina's "Baby Love"---I always thought those 2 were sung by Madonna! Either way, it's still a cool jam!

[TruSciencePro]

she rocks

[EvolutionBenz]

yea Super Sound

[gman252112]

Wow this brings back the memories awesome somes, the 80's were classic, better than the garbage today.

[sydshell]

She's from India

[noninous]

@sydshell I know she comes from Brooklyn New York. She went to Kingsborough Community College.

[MerlinsLOVE]

i'm born in 90's but i'm totally falling in love with this songs !!! omg!! she's great !!! no one like her today...

[FriedSpamable]

this could be Lady Gaga's mother

[scooterNJ]

Killer song.. Killer eyes !!!!!

[trulyoutrageous1]

GREAT SONG!!!! I LOVE THE FRICKEN EIGHTIES!!!! GOOD TIMES AND GREAT ENERGY, GREAT PEOPLE!!!!!!

[leuchy1]

[Bolivar3143]

excelente cancion ritmo sonido y voz una de las mejores de los 80's

[nico00770]

UNDERRATED ARTIST ALISHA BY FAR AND SHE WAS REALLY YOUNG...BETTER VOCALS THEN HALF OF THE ARTIST TODAY /////HELLO WORK IT OUT ALISHA

[MrRaymchopper]

ALL NIGHT PASSION and BABY TALK are AWESOME songs!!!! Where was THIS girlin the 80's? She should have been a household name! GREAT voice! Any idea what she is doing these days?

[jknell87]

@MrRaymchopper she has a youtube and a face book page.  She did a techno remix of All Night Passion in 2009. Go check it out!

[MrRaymchopper]

This is such an AWESOME song! Cannot find it ANYWHERE!!! Can anyone PLEASE advise where I can get this song? Thank you!!

[sastal]

Okay, I used to spin this on 12" back in those days. THIS WAS BETTER THAN MADONNA IN 1985. It beat the crap out of "Into the Groove." 

[manderas]

Thanks for posting this!

so many memories! I remember that we dance this song for a schoolparty!

[purplelove010]

madonna must've turned this song down and handed it to alisha cuz this song definitely sounds like something madonna would sing to.

[FriedSpamable]

i like that rhythm...go funky white girl !!

[radiodj1520]

I Love This Alisha 1985 Music Video, "Baby Talk," Which Was A #1 Dance Hit In America.

[arbdan]

wow, I remember I loved this song when I was child ..... It sounded so dance, and in my opinion it appeared when Madonna's Into The Groove was aired too !!! both songs seem made by the same producer

[mhinsda]

completely awesome and rare. I dig the twin brothers in the band. the singer moves and sings really well in a party like venue... Classic!... Hey check out the early hit tune " tell me that I am dreaming" by a group called Was not Was... thanks for posting...

[bonesz1]

i love this song.

[trini4me]

THIS TRACK IS DOPE!!

[peltoch38]

bjr à tous le top des années 80 avec beaucoup d'autres : divine-deborah kinley-kano-roni griffith-the flirt-the limit-mike mareen-lime-spagna et plein d'autres bises

[Johnson5283]

Iam making a greatest hits cd with uncle Fa La. This song by far is underaterd and could be the best dance song of the 80;s.

Without question.I know my fucking shit.

[GregorEicher]

@Johnson5283 Better than Beat It by Michael Jackson? Or Billie Jean?

[fencersdelight]

Nothing like real musicians playing dance music!

[fred0677]

Memories.....very good song of 80's / also the time of dead or alive - you spin me round....

[sabre926]

God, I love this track! I heard this on KSS FM one time and I so wanted to know who the vocalist was. She sounds beautiful and I love the wardrobe she has on...a true lady of the 80s!

This song makes me thing about all of the movies I used to watch back then: the Goonies, Karate Kid, Beverly Hills Cop, etc.

[MECROC156]

FACT: MADONNA STOLE HER WHOLE EARLY 80'S SOUND FROM " ALISHA".. OLD SCHOOL NYC 80's CLUB HEADS KNOW THE TRUTH!!!! THIS TRACK IS DOPE!!

[mhinsda]

Old School at its best here! Like the Twins = drummer and guitar. .... simply awesome clip thanks for posting.... mhinsda.

[mfuji00001]

xD HOW FUCKING RARE IS THIS UNDERATED REAL DANCE CLUB DIVA -_-

[Therealanimale]

@mfuji00001 In fact she is a one hit wonder. Many talents never get a chance and grieve about it. But some reach the highest possible.... to disappear and never be heard of again. That is maybe the hardes part and example that showbizz can be really cruel too: to shine like a star and then fade away just as quick. But we will remember this music. It was made in a great time when music really was..music. That's why it survives decades, and other, much newer tracks don't;)

[80sMusicLover1971]

@mfuji00001 Very True!!! Alisha is one of the most talented singers of the 80's and 90's!!!

[marycat01]

oh my goodness... i knew the song for so long but I never saw the video !!!

[airwolfrocks]

good song ....shes more pretty in the Bounce Back video!!!

[superagentediego]

chevere! ,no tendras all night pasion 3:35 radio edit

saludos

[tejanobeatz]

Awesome! Is it true she is Gloria Estefan's niece?

[ANNYESS]

No I dont think she has something to do with gloria stean

this is a Italo disco- reestyle classic!!!

[contacte10]

je cherche cette chanson depuis 1985, elle est reste grave dans ma memoire.....vive les annees 80....

[jecc018]

Nice song! Muy ochentosa! Saludos desde Venezuela.

[acidkiller303]
