Right @ about 3:52...just when I thought the lead singer was done, she hit us with that strong, powerful and lovely voice. This song is beautiful! I hope to use it one day :-)
The lead on this sounds similar to En Vogue's Cindy Herron-Braggs, *WOW*!! Great song and even greater group. Too bad they didn't last beyond their debut LP, 'cause they were quite good-----Pure Soul, most definitely!!
I was 20 when this song came out I ran to the wiz record store on fordham rd in the bronx to go get their cd, love it still have it. They need to do a reunion tour or appearenace on one of these award shows.
with groups getting back together, they should also. Now This Is Just My Opinion, So Be Nice....LOL
As Good As This Song Is, and it is the JAM. I think It should have been broken up in parts. That is what I believe separate En Vogue and Brownstone from other girl groups from that time. they would have took this song and everyone would have sung a part. Now I could be wrong. SO BE NICE....LOL!!!!
@ParadyseKitty really? you have some video of his in the network or information about that band ... I'm very interested, I have this album and his voice is great.
Laura Winslow from Family Matters is actually from Washington DC. She is from Northeast of Washington DC. This video takes me back. Pure Soul was true talent.
BOY YOU ARE TALENTED THIS WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST HITS AND VIDEOS OF THE 90'S AND HOPEFULLY YOU DIDN'T STOP HERE BRO..THIS SONG AND VIDEO WAS AMAZING AND ITS IS A CLASSIC NOT A HIT..
Man I wish they could have put out some more music it hurt to see the ball dropped on real talent. I would love to hear the story behind that anybody got the scoop??? And what are they doing now? I hope they still singing.
Power,grace and beauty to boot. You don't find this sort of talent any where but the church. No matter how many voice lesson you take (Destiny's Child) you will never attain this type of skill. Believe that.
@PopCulture20 It appears to me you do not know your music history. First of all modern pop music is the sub-genre of R&B . R&B dates back to the mid 40's. this according to Jerry Wexler writer for Billboard Magazine. And another author you might want to look up Robert Palmer author of Nothing But the Blues. Pure Soul is what is considered R&B/Soul and so is Janet Jackson. Now SWV,TLC and often Janet Jackson are often got on the R&B/Urban as well as the so called Pop. Leave R&B to us that know
@Lordinvdious what are YOU talking about? I study music enough to know that R&B is derived from pop music!!! I don't care if R&B dates back to the 1700s. R&B is a POPULAR GENRE amongst not just blacks, but a MULTI-CULTURAL BASE.
@PopCulture20 Thats why you do not know because you do not care enough about the music to research it . I have been to your sight I have heard what you have playing there. It so far R&B it ain't funny. Again read the books I have mentioned And do not darken my message page until you have. You are the type of person thats ignorant to history or trying to rewrite history to serve whatever motive have. The truth is out there go find it Thank ya!!!
@Lordinvdious excuse me but YOU just made YOURSELF look really stupid by going to my page determining what I listen to as a whole based on the two songs that are on my page. are you serious? you really don't know me at all do you? because there's more than what meets the eye. especially what is on my page. Being an old-fashion BIGOT doesn't make you any smarter either so I suggest you get rid of that quality before trying to tell someone where their place is.
@PopCulture20 Just like you said I don't know you , you don't know me . You said I determined who you are based on the two songs on your page. You determined what genre of R&B based off three groups. I have done the research, research that is too much for this small section. The fact that no matter how much you type, how many times you call me a bigot, history speaks for its self. The fact is Pure Soul is not in the same style of music. they are R&B/Soul .SWV and TLC are Urban/R&B .
@PopCulture20 That's the most sense you have made sense you have made yet. Why don't you pose this question to the music industry , they are the ones who originally started putting music into classes . Every time a new genre arises they are quick to say what it and what it isn't. I have already stated what Urban/R&B is and once again groups like pure do not fall in that class.
I really do hope that no one tries to remake this song. I just don't see a group out there that can do it justice. These women are flat-out incredible!
1995 that's the year my daughter was born n at 10 she was singing this song hitting the notes n she learned it fast she been singing song n hitting notes since 6 1/2 i have her knowing all the classics her fav old school singer is shirley murdock i am so proud to say .i have taught her so damn well
i still sang this song like it waxs yesterday i love this song i had my daughter sanging it n she learned how to hit the high notes she try to make me sound bad she was a lil kid she is 14 now i am 36 n e way 1 of my favorite groups n song yes
I am lucky enough to know the lead singer ... That sista' sang at my wedding 10-years ago! Shawn Allen is the Best!!! Love her voice ... Can't wait 'til she does it again!!!
Omg...mann if only u knew how long i was searching for this video lol...I was only a lil gurl when i 1st saw this video, i neva knew the name of the song or group til i saw it on tv after all these years. All i could remember was loving the song and especially the vid because Kellie was featured in it. Kellie looked so gorgeous, thanks for posting this!!!
LAWD!!! This brings back some funky ass memories! I was 19 when this was out. I wish I could go back and change EVERYTHING! I'm going to have to find this single.
My God, does any one see what I see, the Bride looks so much like the character of Laura Winslow from Family Matters, Does any one know if that's her, send me a reply. Thank you.
Yup, that's her. She was wonderful to work with. The temperature was like 32 degrees, but she really showed everyone how she could "man up" in that weather.
No joke...we shot this in the DC area. Not sure if she was already living there at the time, but I'm sure that's where she eventually landed. Kellie was very pleasant on the shoot, professional. Anyways, continue to enjoy the clip, and spread the word about our channel!!
Wow, so maybe that was you, okay I'll check and spread the word about your channel. Who were you in the video, the groom, priest, or whom, what were you wearing, just wanted to have an idea, if you don't want to tell me I understand. I love Laura Winslow, yep she was type cast for playing that role, maybe she will be taken seriously one day, although it's hard for some one to break out of being typecasted.
