Laura White was absolutely amazing. I just wish she sang the whole song and not just a bit of it. A star in the making. Can't wait to hear more from her!

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Laura didn't even get the words right ffs lol I don't know why everyone whinging any ow was she not told not to go on the show that she'd be given a contract by someone?? And that mariah carey - if she was playin the piano why did it carry on playin for a bit after she stopped..........?????????? hmmmmmmmmmmmm
Im only 12 and i love thiis song! Please bring this music it is sooo GOOD! (: Good effort Laura Dont you think its weird how shes called Jocelyn BROWN and Layra is called laura WHITE strang :)
I first heard this performance when I was in a club in Hong Kong(1984). When I heard it my jaw just dropped, and I stood there for the length of the song just spellbound. I was speechless! It was just exceptional, still is today.
3:45 of R'n'B' perfectiion: The best vocal intro EVER. Great groove and vocals, hook and outro. And by the way, one of the baddest jams ever recorded.
Even if you were shy, thought you weren't a good dancer, you got up and got involved. Every beat speaks for itself. One of the most fantastic pieces from Back in the Day.
u told me a lie and u didnt have an alibi. oh my goodness. when i hard that line in the song i almost fell out. cant u image ur boyfriend ur husband say. "uh, uh but baby."LOL
nobody couldnt tell me that they didnt try to immitate her singing."cause u r the one, oooooh, u r the one who makes me feel soooo reeeeeeeeeeeaaaallll, yeah, yeah,yeah OH". u know what i mean.LOL
This song sounded good back in the day and still sounds good. Truly a good post. thanks spirytus36. Back in Chicago when they would play this song, they would play "the answer" to it. Don't know the name of the guy. It had the same background music...just had a guy on vocals. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and has it, that would be a good one to post.
The Bass player puts his foot and everything else into this truly awesome Funk classic. Pure STANK just drips off this tune. A splendid example of inspired pocket playing. And last but not least, Jocelyn absolutely crushes crushes it.
Spam is it? NOT!!! This is about the highest praise I can give to a song as funky as this one. Not to mention, that it is one of my al-time favorite tunes
if you find any old house heads to hang with, you would truly get an education and know the music, its historical context, and the embedded meaning articulated in the lyrics. In those days, the music was all about uplift and hope to a marginalized community of queer black folks. Im glad that you have an appreciation for the music. Unfortunately, House is all but a mostly forgotten music form in America - a rich art that is relegated to only a very small niche market. Peace
This is a beautiful ass song! I get into this song whenever it plays on the radio or anywhere, for that matter. I enjoy it from beginning to end. Thank God for Youtube where you can find all the Old School jams
Takes me back to the skating rink and dancin' my ass off on skates!! Feathered hair, tight rolled jeans, loud colors, and the spray in hair color. These were memories that last.
God BLESS YOU Spirytus36 for posting this! This song is so hard to find today....Ms Brown has soul in her soul..that into gives me chills.....awesome song and awsome post...thank you thank you thank you! What great memories this song brings to me...
This song will make you forget that maybe you aint that great a dancer
