[doh1959]

what a classic bring back the eighties when music was real. and everybody wanted to be able to do the rubiks cube and shag pam ewing

[MrMalibu881]

This song charges me up with energy anytime i listen to it! :D

[coleywantsausername]

Beautiful tune. I remember this in the summer of 1990 when I left school and got into to music. Took mainstream music for granted back then but a lot of it was sooooooo damn inspirational and good! Sitting up late "listening" to MTV when it was a MUSIC station.

How sad the the pop culture of today has descended into mind numbing vacuous dross! Fire up the time machine!

[tehPizzachu]

I want that jacket!! XD

[72ghettoboy]

if only we could,da rest get outta here,tune

[TheJeannette165]

I like his outfit.....  :-D

[robieramjet]

listen to the back ground beat, then listen to an older song, Raze "Break 4 love"

[soulboy351]

@robieramjet bang on mate

[TheOkehman]

What a brilliant record and a evocative message for everyone........."If i only could.... id make this world a better place".....right on Sidney ....and thanks for the post Sidney was one cool dude!Dave from York i loved dancing to this.

[birdshyte]

unbelievable tune..youth club an disco time ..Amen !!

[vegas2004]

Thank god for YouTube because i've never seen the video to this and many others.Back when this was out i was 19 so never spent any time at home and was clubbing/drinking etc.Happy days!

[zyxman74]

still an epic song ;)

[mokiepat1]

love it!!! 1989 BEST YEAR EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

[GibbyGibbyGibb]

sad as this sounds I'd rather listen to Bieber than Gaga. Her lyrics are disgusting and she dresses like a skank.

[malachy1231]

[innit27]

[MrMalibu881]

80's RULEZ! 

[hejdiklump]

incredible sidney:)

[LifeeeeeHD]

Danced to this many times back in the days of old school house and acid , still a banger of a tune .......

[25ghr]

great floor filler , then and now

[bedfordcrusader]

i was there and let me tell you...1989 was fucking great

[No3MadMax]

@bedfordcrusader wannit? LOL!

[robyncornes]

@bedfordcrusader I agree totally

[lincsposter]

I actually did a school assembly using this. I managed to get all the old timers on the staff to stand up. What no one told me was that the Head of PE and French had put together a dance routine! OMG! Brought the house down. All I did at the end was say If only I could! I then sat down. Well done Mrs Jackson!

[joncmorley]

32 people don't want the world to be a better place... losers!

[ummarah2000]

god i've forgotten about this song - oh the memeries

[liminal2]

this is total cheese, and I frickin love it. Sydney Youngblood - you could only get away with a name like that in the late 80s!

[maggiemillar]

great tune + great words = great song :-)

[janbryan1]

Steve Walker - this is our song and long shall I remember!!!!

[pinofilm]

IO THE PRINCE OF cAPO sAN mARTINO!!!

[yottskry12]

He looks nothing like I expected! I was expecting someone much older, based on the voice.

[Quaigon73]

Dass war meine zeit, da war ich noch jung und knackig^^

Aber wie die zeit verrinnt, na ja zumindest kann man in gedanken die Zeit nochmals zurückdrehen!!

[MrJohnnyhercules]

I want to play basketball with the world. slam dunk. was in ibiza in 89 you have to move to this.

[sabsz100]

ich hab sooo gern danach getanzt...

[smiddyboy1971]

what a great track brill from smiddy xx

[kentolung]

loved this song when it came out. the fact it was for his poorly daughter makes it more special.

[kentolung]

loved this song when it came out. the fact it was for his poorly daughter makes it more special.

[andyvillaman]

if anybody was in tenerife las americas1989 in a bar called FLANNAGANS this was a top song back then and it takes me back good times great tune. Anyone know what he is doing now?

[shadewizard]

director would get killed nowadays for making such a video. still like the song though ;)

[9Euphoria]

Ain't nuin wrong wit these clothes.. Juss like you were lookin at your pics when you was bout 5 and thinkin like 'wtf i was wearin', well, same gonna happen in 20 years lookin at your todays pics 'damn i was ugly', the truth is, you still ugly. So, it ain't nuin wrong with 90's, they were the best. CUZ ONLY SICK MUSIC MAKES MONEY TODAY.

[ReidOriginals]

I had totally forgotten this classic track, still sounds vibrant and alive, loving those cow bells! :-)

[RobinBlueOcean]

I´m just glad that my dad still has got his cassettes^^ I love the songs :D

[charleydog97]

this was/is such a tune...brings back memories of troll at the soundshaft

[Sood81]

I have been looking for this song. Just couldn't remember the name of the song. I kept searching for " what a wonderful world this would be" and didn't know why I couldn't find this video. Now I know it was just another song. I like both songs!

[garysteele2007]

coooolllllll

[MrDam65]

Qu'est ce que je ne l'ai pas écoutée cette chanson!!!!!

[gothicphilosopher]

he needs a fur coat for that real pimp look...

[7byseven]

I always need to wind the clock back to find something good theres too much rubbish around now.

[moogahnah]

I dont think i remember this track,but the music sounds similar to (chipnotic - Nothing compares 2 u)

[Mulder5151]

Ripped off from Raze break 4 love..............

[arglwyddanfradwrus]

@Mulder5151 Ah, yes!

[krowe1970]

I was out clubbin to this track in 1989....... fantastic times.

[mrmarmalademan]

I was 15 in 1989 and loving this. Wow, I actually knew my shit!

[1960janey]

oh wow, lovin it lovin it.

[skynett1000]

if people listend to this song instead of crap like lady gaga and justin beiber the world would be a better place

[chrissy17169]

@skynett1000 here here

[Furbydude05]

@skynett1000 Given the choice between those two "crappy" artists, I'd very much rather listen to Lady Gaga. Even longtime fans of Britney Spears would think Justin Bieber is crap!

[maggiesollors]

@skynett1000 I could not agree more!

[otariker]

@skynett1000 Best comment ever!

[VelvetViolator]

Cool clothes !! :-)

[sentwent]

they used to play this at the end of all nighters to clear the place out but was such a tune all the sunday roast places played it to death luv it ps if you dont no wot a sunday roast is ask you bruvaasss

[saintgeorge22]

I love this era.

[drfunkenstein251]

Only brothers are cool enough to pull of that outfit

[feelsorrowcz]

What a wonderful voice...!

[dominicantan]

One of my favourite dance tunes from this era.......:D :D :D :D :D

[ebantiass11]

As long as he made an awful lot of money for the men behind the original with this obvious homeage I have no problems with this pleasant song.

[TECKMASSE]

Hello, hello Thanks

[Poledancingdiva]

This came on the radio this morning... totally blew me away as it did on its release... tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooonnnneeesss!!

[KittyVortex]

Great how the backing track sounds so like Raze "Break for Love"...classic mix potential

[123mrwilletts]

only god can judge we world peace to you all love and be loved

[thewhiteroom23]

Nice to hear an 808 drum machine again...

[Isochest]

I remember this song best when travelling from Lisbon to Porto on a high speed Alfa train. One of the soldiers in my compartment was playing this on his ghetto blaster. They were good polite lads:-)))

[TheMedusa3463]

Oh man , in meiner Jugend...geiler Song!!!

[Spankabuttux]

We have shedloads of good voices, yet Simon Cowell thinks we need to flood the market with lesser talents. Fuck him and fuck all that support him.

[RogerPymp]

Listen to Sydney

[wakeboardmuppet]

What ever happened to this guy. That song is fantastic. A takent

[AconteceuNaBerlenga]

I think the beat was originally from Break 4 Love

watch?v=CQyJWlSMCdo&feature=re­lated

was it stolen or something?

[muzzdabaker]

@AconteceuNaBerlenga sure was and wat a tune that was :0)

[DiRtYLaWs2007]

Still sounds good today.

[123mrwilletts]

let make this world a good world we live in peace

[swenswen1]

best best

[notrut]

22 years later still a beautiful track, love it!

[Meowbay]

Great song, but... Sydney Youngblood was in the US-armed forces stationed in Germany at the time. If only he could what? have left the military, right? What an ass. "Fighting for peace" -> oh how my grandfather would have kicked his butt for that oxymoron.. Just like Franky Gee (Captain Jack), Turbo B (Snap), Captain Hollywood (More and more and more what? Weapons?), Terence Trent D’Arby, Culture Beat and many more were all German based US-marines or soldiers etc.

[escualoadrian01]

Como me gustaria saber quien fue el/los PELOTUDOS que votaron negativo ???

[nufforme]

OMG ! i was in europe at the time this stuff came out. love it!!!!

[mancminx2]

omg i totally forgot about this song :( what was i thinking, brainwashed by todays pop crap.....classics like these will forever live on i feel sorry for the kids of today! im onpy 25 but i know good music when i see it

[death2hiphopnRnB]

@mancminx2 Amen to that, girl!

[tezzad01]

@mancminx2 totally agree there

[Steerpike07]

@mancminx2 If we can encourage widespread illegal downloading maybe, as they claim, that will destroy today's music industry and its shallow, bland, synthetic mishmash of derivative cloned, vapid, tedious emptiness. The only artists that remain will be the real talent who do it for love and passion not for the fame and filthy lucre. There must be some way to undermine the populist tosh they churn out like curds and whey.

[mancminx2]

@Steerpike07 reading your comment a few names came to me n i have to say back in response, althou i dont condone illegal downloading i agree something has to be done im sick of listening to auto-tuned manufactured crap thats playing on the radio hour after hour etc... and talentless ppl in the press for what there wearing day in day out, im sure u know who im talking about =D

[Looneeman]

@mancminx2 That's what I'm talking about!

[TheFLOable]

@mancminx2 Yeah but then us as kids will grow up with the music we have today.. and tastes change:)

[digitallove77]

@mancminx2 totally spot on, its easy to forget with all the shit about these days, this is class

[lightcrew]

best drumloop ever!

[owuzakif]

ohhhhhh, beautiful!

[17trigga]

so who copyed who raze or sidney youngblood break for love or if only i could lol

[bfr1955]

j'adore super

[kalosalexandros]

einfach toll, nicht?

[kalosalexandros]

longed tofind this video. was always looking for some steve youngblood. nothing to do. I was living in Germany at that time. used to listen to him a lot, as well as lisa Stansfield's this is the righ time and malcon mclaren's this is the house of maclaren. Sydney youngblood - great voice great song

[LJUTOCAN]

Gute music --- Lg aus Österreich !!

[malikiwatani]

the best music ever the 80s,also best time of my life

[Jez708]

@malikiwatani agreed my friend!! :)

[superglaswegian]

what a tune takes me back way back good times

[swenswen1]

best voice

[JimmyCase1977]

Met himin a bar in Southport UK, 1990, really nice guy. Signed my cigarette if I remember rightly.

[WWWoESZTECAoCOM]

@ death2hiphopnRnB.. The clothes??! haha! That was the acid/house style to wear in the late 80's! many peoples used to dress like that in the club/house scene in Europe!!



[kirschbaumable]

war das klasse!!!

[JamaicaUK]

The sound of my childhood!

[GANGARENE]

The clothes?....it was still the eighties darling.......

[Seanogoals]

An 80s classic.Such a bright and inspirational song.Love it.

[LoveJoyPeaceComfort]

high level masons like young blood.

[G0IMB]

@LoveJoyPeaceComfort Is he a Freemason? Gaddafi & Ahmadinejad are supposed to be such.

[LoveJoyPeaceComfort]

@G0IMB he must be a freemason, the all are in e music industry. Chck out my all-seeing eye video.

[LoveJoyPeaceComfort]

@G0IMB they all are.

[G0IMB]

@LoveJoyPeaceComfort Wondered what gave them their breaks?!! The rest of us are just breaking wind in the face of this rigging.

[G0IMB]

@LoveJoyPeaceComfort But people power can defeat these buggers. Look at the Gulag Strikers and then the Protesters against Chernobyl in the Soviet Enclave. Tolerate No Shit. Zero Tolerance on our part is the solution.

[LoveJoyPeaceComfort]

@G0IMB It's a bigger agenda than that unfortunately. Freemasonry is a religion. And the battle is for your soul. It's not really about the politics of the new world order. The moment you are lifted out of your flesh, when your day of testing comes, it will be ENTIRELY a spiritual matter of who wins, Satan or Christ. Make no mistake, it is a spiritual war. And the day of the LORD comes like thief in the night. i never saw it coming... But Jesus Christ won in my case.

[G0IMB]

@LoveJoyPeaceComfort Well the Rochdale Lodge mentions the only qualifying criterion is "believing in a "supreme being"". But what is that? A God? A Fallen Angel?. An overrated Narcissist living on Earth? I'll aspire to better by trying to educate those around me. I wonder how far you got in the Masonic Hierarchy?

[ravesaver]

i ***LOVE*** those clothes.

[TheLorraine67]

Fantastic - glad I was young back in the 80's and not now.

[leogirl777]

<3 all love

[TeraStrataGeM]

You could !

[MyLogVideo]

nice song :D

[28thStonyisland]

This joint was the shit back in day here in Germany. His debut album was lsept on like a MF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dieforsouljim]

Briiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iing it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[0Sunnyman0]

oh, its Obama

[aphexz18]

So I was working on a project...nearly finished. If only I could...wait a minute, that's a song.... gotta love YT :)  (totally forgot about the kick-ass intro)

[JLQbyrebelspace]

1987 in The Netherlands ! I got the CD-SINGLE on 3" CD :-) !

[noisemachineLH]

isn't it nice to hear a song about nice stuff instead of killing and rooting people!!

[drfunkenstein251]

Do you not mean looting

[laggie24]

When and if I'm gonna be 100yrs.old I'm still gonna shake my shoulders and my foot is gonna tap the rythmmmmmmm ... yes sir ... hmmm.

I enjoy this very much :-)

Wonderful sound here...tks. alot :-)

[freddielaker2]

doze crazy dutch! he was great

[jbow35]

This backing track on this was first used by Raze - Break for love do a search its class

[Elynnski]

The clothes...the early dance scene had some shocking clothes!

The basketball...it's metaphorical man, it represents this world, which, if he could, he'd make into a better place!

[blustardave]

pete waterman made him wear the clothes , no doubt...lol

[mmef123]

this makes the world a better place !

[DjMoTowNakaMikey]

that beat is f##king awesome!

[liferasta1]

@DjMoTowNakaMikey Check out Raze - Break 4 Love, a House classic which this ripped off

[DjMoTowNakaMikey]

@liferasta1 yeah, i know that track... but i cant play the song that much in my house, because of the SEX sounds

[RogerLSanchez]

@DjMoTowNakaMikey Isn't it though?...That beat is taken from 'Break 4 Love' by the Pet Shop Boys - you have AWESOME taste in beats : ) - Check out the Pet Shop Boys 'Break 4 Love' track on YouTube: I'm certain you will like it just as much as this song : )

[7ModernLifeIsKak2]

@RogerLSanchez How can you dare say this beat was the PSB's???? It is from Break for Love by RAZE 1988. If you don't know your music don't leave offensive comments!!!

[RogerLSanchez]

@7ModernLifeIsKak2 Umm, wow...How the heck was my comment offensive?...It's funny to know that you take offense to mistakes about music (of all things)...Yes, I had my artists backward, but check out Wikipedia and search for 'Break 4 Love'...As you can see both RAZE and PSB hit number one with that song at different times...As those closest to you might say, 'calm down man'...

[7ModernLifeIsKak2]

@RogerLSanchez Fair enough it's just that over here in Blighty people of my generation tend to hold 'Break 4 Love' in high regard. The same cannot be said about the PSB's! Even this tune was dissed by the general populace. My comment was 'tongue in cheek', I've seen enough of people slagging each other off on YT to last me several lifetimes! PEACE

[warda2b]

I love this song, great music 89
