[bighomiesleekj]

wow the power of the internet I was searching for this song but i did not know the singer's name. Its great feeling to see it here but it sucks b'cos I thought he was African the whole time.

tears tears tears........old school

I remember watching the video back in Nigeria as a young teenager. There was an argument whether he is a Nigerian/American as a Nollywood singer. Even people speculated that he was Michael Jackson's brother 'cause of his dance move and voice. It took almost 30 years to find out I was right all along - Grady Harrell is his name and was not born anywhere in Africa. Born and raised in Los Angeles. He narrowly missed being the Shalamar lead singer.

@magnetmac I thought he was south african

[magnetmac]

@ionuorah

It make sense to think that Grady Harrel is South African or any African nation. His Nollywood-like hit video (Belinda Mwana) can throw a lot of people off in thinking do.

You might find it interesting to know that the name of beautiful lady that played his girlfriend in the video (Belinda Mwana) is Renee Jones - an American born soap-opera actress.

Trust me, they are all Americans.

[toyinlewis]

[H2R504]

I remember this video when it debuted in the states. I couldn't understand why she had turned down his proposal either.  She looked like the actress Renee Jones who had a recurring role on the series LA Law.

[Enymann]

Oh dear!!! Nigeria was burning with this song.

[darkwalls247]

Wel, I have asked the singer himself why the girl turned him down and he gave me an answer. If you send me your email, I will tell you why. Cheers

[jemmabond]

Maybe she turned him down because he didn't go down on one knee when he proposed.

[franklinfacez]
