You literally took the words out of my mouth. I went there as soon as I saw the video. Then the record companies wonder why people download songs. Thats the only way to get certain things.
Man thanks for posting this, I kept telling people about this song and they couldn't remember it. Heaven in your arms was cool, but this was my cut Hold On. Also I agree with TheAithWONDER about today's artist. If this were todays videos, she would be in something tight and revealing. Selling sex instead of letting their talent speak for itself. I tell you it's a shame. All these feel good music use to be on BET'S Video soul, I don't even watch BET no more.
@starla22g You are so right, I don't watch BET anymore either, it stopped for me around 1995 or so.......it turned into total smut with the nasty songs. All those slow jams got to be real nasty and then everything else followed suit. You're right, it used to be about talent and it still should be.
@MrChicago891 I know isn't it a shame how far down music has gone. What's even more funny is the stations that played videos BET, MTV, VH1, and I remember this one that escapes my memory but you use to be able to call in and request videos and they would play them, but you don't even see videos anymore but every now and then.
@starla22g, same here...no one heard of "Hold On", but they all remember " Heaven In Your arm's"! I like this song so much better than "Heaven In Your Arm's"! Back in the day sexy soul focused on the music & real vocalizing, not half naked, no singin' artists!
This is when the ACTUAL artist ACTUALLY played their own intruments. Not to mention when you could ACTUALLY Listen and UNDERSTAND what the Artist was SINGING. None of this repeticious B.S like today(neyo, usher,chris and ALL the none singing rnb imposters)
@TheAithWONDER Ain't it the truth, I was talking about this the other day. All they do is repeat the same crap over and over again to a different beat. I was just telling my co-worker the other day because they kept playing this song at work and everytime we hear it the hair on the back of our necks stands up. It goes like this: " DADDY, DADDY, I NEED A DADDY. DADDY, SEND ME A DADDY. I mean puleeezzzzeeeee.
i always realized how good the music was back in the day, but now with today's music, i really appreciate the music then. it had such sentiment to it!
Dammmnnn....how in hell did I forget about this gem!? Probably because I'm pumping the SOS Band more than any other that came from the 80s...lol The memories that come back from this... The youngheads out there now have no idea of what they've missed and have lost.
I was in third grade when I remember seeing this video on Video Soul back then it was like it was all about the music it just seemed like things were a little bit simpler...this was and is feel good music I hope we can get this back again
I love this song, but I love "Heaven In Your Arms" alot better. In 1984 this group also had videos for "Harmony" and "Shackles" but I haven't seen them yet. Once someone finds them, they will be my friend for life!! I saw 1985's "Swing Low" for the first time last year on youtube...its still up there as a matter of fact.
OMG! This hook was stuck in my head forever "just hold on, im gonna get to you baby just hold, he said just hold on. It's time for me to start my life, all over again". That's all I heard in my head and I've been trying to match it up for years. Finally with the help of the one hit wonder website, I found it. Thanks for this post!!! This was great!!
You all are bringing back a lot of great memories. I can empathize with horus, KNJ3 and cduone, to name a few. The 80's was and still is my favorite era of music! (much respect to the other eras, though)
Nice to see the video although I had always had my own video in my head for this beautiful song. The audio extended version gives me goosebumps! Thanks for posting!!
HELL NAW!!!! Now I know I'm back in the 80's!!!! This used to be my shyt!!! This whole album or should I say cassette tape LOL Cuz I wore that tape OUT!!!! RJ's Latest arrival was the SHIT for real! Underrated, as most of the groups during that era were. The lead singer had an unusually mellow yet soulful voice that I love! I wonder where she is and what she is doing now??? anybody know?
Agree with all you said Mshoney. Who is the lead singer? I wonder if she still got it? If she kept herself in good health and away from drugs, she probably does. Man oh man... bring back those days!!!!
Artwork, sonically pleasing, visually pleasing,thougtful,despite the song being about a sad occasion,is still uplifting overall, best of all no degradation. This video along with RJ's Heaven In Your Arms have always been special to me. Artwork
It was on the 12 inch single, but i don't know if there was a video, but if somebody could post the 12 inch version that would be very cool. It is on the jukebox at the LYNX bar in Omaha Ne. The confrontation mix she continues to talk about all he's done wrong in her life. EXELLENT
song gives me goose bumps. 1987 in the 10th grade girl had crush on me, i wanted her but was dating someone else. yea i thought i was the shit back then. i think i was the only one in that school that was diggin this song
Anyone old enough to remember when BET played videos like this on Midnight Love? Then refusing to hang up with your girlfriend telling her to hang up first then staying on the phone for another 90 minutes.
Love this version. When I first heard it on my local Detroit radio station, I instantly knew it would become one the classics I would never tire of hearing. Thanks for allowing me to see the group perform it. I intend to check the rest of your videos out and see what surprises are in store for me, thanks again.
Yep it does not pay to put your loved ones on hold. Time is only wasted by playing the waiting game. Great song. I wanna hear telephone conversation remix version, now that was tight!
the girl always reminded me of Cherelle, especially because of that gap, but even the way she sings
