  • who is in dimensione dance after this?

  • Put me in the time machine! Pleaseee!!!!

  • I think younger ppl need to listen to LYRICS like these..elevate their minds and free their souls....overgrate

  • SILENT MURDER

  • I'm digging this classic.

  • Classic!!!! Clássicoo...

  • Meaning of Life?  42.

  • No one has done it like this for such a long time. I still love it in 2011.

  • Elevate the mind and free your soul, yeah!

  • the key line in this song, which I remember at the time but often forgot in the years since, is "be an asset to the collective". The older I get, the more this resonates. You find meaning in life by being a positive influence on people around you in whatever way you can: help them be better at what they do, entertain them, love them, protect them, support them, encourage them.... the list goes on.

  • heavy vet man i know this song

  • It's amazing. Most of these little kids will be in jail by now.

  • @DaveWBedford since we don't know..why make the assumption...

  • Now that's what I call MOBO.

  • I always loved the groove on this track but never payed attention to the lyrics.

    Check out visualisation teqniques .it really works!

  • please! your freaking annoying!

  • Hep hep hep!

  • looking back on it now, considering the garbage the record companies dump on us relentlessly now, here were soul lyrics which were so pure and so clean that is virtually unheard of twenty odd yrs later.. "Elevate your mind, free your soul, feel the music let your body take control" .. where on earth would any artist be ALLOWED to write this type of stuff now ? answer: NOWHERE..

  • @aitan844 I wouldn't be as negative as all that. Katy Perry - Firework? Major record label, huge hit, aspirational message.

  • Mám ráda tuto kapelu...♥

  • THX guys.

  • Beautiful Black People :)

  • Good news: heard on XM that Jazzie B and Caron Wheeler are back in the studio together!

  • kooooooool!!!!

  • @PiperNigrum1

    This is Just Hot PERFECT music , Thank You. We will Play this on Our Station in Your Honor.

  • ahhhh ... best days !!! i wish in 2012 the world will go back to 90's !!!

  • There are people who like this (like myself), and people who don't. I am totally not angry at the people who don't, but I am wondering about is: Than why do you listen to it?! Anyway, everybody has his or her right to their opinion and taste.

  • One of my favorite soul to soul songs!

  • wat the meaning of lyf?? elavate ya mynd... free ya soul...

  • This bloke is a genius... and his Friday night show on London radio is full of gems.x

  • @clubland459 Dude what is that show, can you get it on the net?

  • @tNJippoes Sorry I didn't get your query till now. Yes the programme is on the net. It's on BBC radio London and its called Jazzie B Back 2 Life. It goes out Friday evenings here in the UK at 8 pm but it remains on the net for listeners to access for a week. It's brilliant and well worth listening to. The blokes a legend. ( By the way I'm a didette not a dude) .lol. Enjoy.

  • @clubland459 Apologies for the gender confusion and thanks for the info - love your work. I saw them live in Sydney during their heyday. They had people wandering on and off stage and they were fantastic.

    Was always disappointed they never played parties like Adeva and Jungle Bros etc.

    Thanks so much!

  • great belgium group!

  • This sounds similar to Streets of Rage theme song.

  • I wish i had this long play (not cd bullshit).

  • good old times mates

  • nas song take it in blood

  • This song is simply off the hook!!!!!!

  • Elevate your mind, free your soul! Yes Exactly

  • Wow! Haven't heard this in a while...lol.. Good jam!

  • Original and great music - sadly was probably the last time this kind of innovation will be allowed to happen in main music. There is too much control these days. Soul II Soul - the utmost respect is due!!!

  • @starkRECORDINGS

    I agree and the "auto tune" BS today is making it much worst, if not has already killed original good music such as this classic.

  • @starkRECORDINGS absolutely! 

  • Öröm és boldogság ez a zene nagyon jó és imádom....

  • egy óriási sláger 1990-ből. 

  • great!

  • 'Elevate your mind, free your soul' classic and true.

  • Missing the Funky Dread days of BLACK British Music REAL Quality in the mix of our life we elevated our mind THANK U SOUL II SOUL

  • WOW IF IT WAS TRUE,,, I WISH FOR A LIFE,, WOW 20 YEARS LATER STILL ON POINT DAM I WANT A LIFE HOW BIGGS

  • the question of all questions...come on, come

  • My God...this song brings back fantastic memories of my years stationed in England, frequenting the nearest night club and hitting on the local girls. We represented the USA as lover and fighers! It was so long ago, but seems like yesterday. Where has the music gone??

  • reminds me of my school days, wish i could go back. time goes so fast so scary !!! Enjoy your life peeps while you can :)

  • Joli son!

  • love this gives me goose bumps an takes me back to the good ole days what a jam!

  • I still love positive music

  • I am still trying to figure out "what is the meaning of life."

  • Great beat...and applicable to Believers. Renew your mind...save your soul! Romans 12:2

  • The Music was so diverse and...Strangely lot of it was very Good...

  • The meaning of life is the future of our children...

  • love it.....

  • whats the meaning of life. Love this song

  • This was great black music.. what the hell happened to it that it degenerated into filthy gangster rap crap... so sad.

  • @arch9theatre crack happened

  • @arch9theatre EXACTLY.

  • @arch9theatre yeah let sleeping dogs lie. These musicians were british, nuff said.

  • @arch9theatre the government (masons/zionist) promotes gangster rap to keep the family divided

  • @arch9theatre are you retarded this was the same time as gangster rap.

  • @lynette1953 i have to agree with arch gangster rap really only took off in the new millenium not the 90s

  • @uncreativeranter really snoop dre eazy e too short wu tang clan , brotha lynch, bone thungz 2 PAC. etc only took off in the 2000's ? lolololol yeah?

  • @arch9theatre - They are also from London, UK were Hip Hop did not originate & therefore were not subject to coprorate entities which seized upon like vultures to help perpetuate the gansta genre in rap. Look at 90s Hip hop, there, you will find all sorts of positive styles & vibes.

  • @arch9theatre at least we can look back and enjoy british soul when it was really british black soul ..

  • @arch9theatre i keep asking myself this was when british soul music was at its zenieth. what happened..?

  • Soul to Soul was doing the damn thing in the late 80's and early 90's great music !!

  • I wish Mtv still had more messages like this.

  • this song was sampled for Silent Murder by Nas

  • Legnagyobbb!!!!!!

  • nw1

  • Do love this Soul To Soul tune, its so catchy.

  • Those kids must be like 26 now. :-|

  • Silent Murder

  • SUPER! 90 YEARS / gregory  from poland

  • I always remember hearing Lenny Henry do a spoof where everyone sang "what's he talking.......whats he talking about" - I still hear that every time I listen to this classic track.

  • THIS WAS MY SHIT!!!!

  • BEAUTIFUL,WONDERFUL OL' SKOOL JAM!!! CLASSIC ***KING-KUMARI***

  • Be selective, be objective ~ be an asset to the collective!!

  • This classic jam just popped and in my head and I thought that they don't make great dance and just let yourself go music, no more! I know that dancing never fades out, but bring back music so dancing can take its rightful place in the hearts and minds of the world! Peace to all those that know and all those just finding out, I'm LGKids, nice to finally meet you!

  • top tune

  • OMG back to old memories

  • Whats the meaning? Life.

  • Do you see the background,visuals and meaning of this video and song compared to the garbage out here now?

  • Like I said on back to life , I loved 'em when they released their first album back in '89 and I AM STILL LISTENING to their first album in my car like it was 20 day's ago and will still KEEP ON LISTENING to them. SOUL II SOUL has got the best percussion arrangement to date. MUSIC STOPPED SOUNDING BETTER AFTER THE 90's wouldn't you say???

  • @TheKedamawi Couldn't agree with you more, the music of the 21st century isn't patch on these sort of anthem's.

  • trop top SOUL 2 SOUL !!!!

    Great black music without the use of bitches and ho's or about dying young or gettin rich quick!! Music with a positive theme and message.

  • @facefavour Amen!

  • @facefavour I think Lady Gaga has the right idea.. Just not so much in her lyrics but in her <3.

    This isn't just great"black" music. It's great music done by People. For People. =0)
