  • She's the reason I started looking "outside" of my race ... boring ass white girls too worried about dumb crap instead of having fun.. Bring that Benz here girl

  • Nice Old School Jam

  • Comment removed

  • CLASSY

    

  • Don't she get TLC up and going.

  • She looks exactly like kim appelby from MEL&KIM. They made some great 80's music too.

  • @32qazx ..Now see, now you have me thinking about Mel & Kim - I'm going to have to play Showing Out (Get Fresh At The Weekend)...LOL. Hmmmm...Showing Out, getting fresh at the weekend, while riding in a Mercedes - not bad, not bad... :-) R.I.P. Mel

  • somebody tell me what happened. LOL! This was real music

  • Whatever happened to Pebbles? I know she was married to Terry Lewis or Jimi Jam and they divorced, but that was years ago.

  • @kalimaganeshshivan She actually married LA Reid and they had 2 kids. A daughter & a son named Aaron.

  • @Aquarianquetie  Thanks for the information; do you know what she's doing now?

  • @kalimaganeshshivan Sorry, can't help you on that. I guess you can go to any search & type "singer Pebbles" and you might get something.

  • @Aquarianquetie Thanks again.

  • @Aquarianquetie .. Almost :-) Ashley was not born of L.A.; she is the daughter Perri had with first husband George Smith. George actually worked with Perri on this album (as the album was recorded prior to meeting LA/Babyface and subsequently recording Girlfriend) , and at times she wrote using Smith as her sir name (Perri A. Smith or Perri Smith - as listed as co-writer of Babyface's Whip Appeal). :-)

  • I haven't heard this song in years. She's beautiful and classy looking. I had forgotten what beauty and class looked like because i'm so used to seeing trash like kesha, lady gaga, christina aguilera, or pink glorifying skaniness. The song itself is imaginative and easy to listen to, not that annoying screechy club music that everyone seems to want to hear today.

  • YES 550 AMG I DO

  • the 12 inch remix is better than original version, it is softer than the first, i prefer that!

  • this song is still hot

  • True style and sexiness. I'll ride with you any day. This song is still the shyt!!!!

  • this was my girl..she was whole lot better then these half naked half talent tramps they are trying to pass off as female muscians now

  • This song sounds like it came about when synthesizers became a big thing. Anyway, loved this song back in the day. Me, and my sibs used to get down to this back then. Always wondered why the dancer-guy didn't break dance to this, cuz the BBoys around the way used to work it out to this song! But, still... Man, this song is Nostalgia 101:)

  • Hey Zaandam is 10 minuten van hier.. :)

  • DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!

  • Pebbles is Black. So what's the fuss? Have any of you seen her lately? She's a nice looking woman who is in her early 40's. She survived the music industry and left with dignity.

  • Antonio is a sucka for letting this get away. yeah she may seem bitchy but look at her she has ever right to be bichy looking like that. dumb a**

  • I could care less about skin color to all u MF's, I merely pointed something out and beetlebug or deedub took it the wrong way. I never said anything about Pebbles not being a beautiful woman because I know she is. I only pointed out how her, and others like her are perceived. peace!

  • Don't hate on Pebbles because she is fine as hell. People can be very ignorant speaking about skin color. Uneducated em-effs. All black is beautiful.

  • Why is everyone on here hating on Pebbles this video is a classic and too this day it still sounds good not to metion Pebbles is sexy as hell....Dont know why there are ignorant people on here talking bout skin color it doest fucking matter light skin dark skin there sexy females in both people need to get passed it damn you gotta be secure in your self and not worry bout the next person.....

  • @ricanthug30.....i totally agree with you. But there is an (individual) down below making references to skin color. My comment was expressing that Pebbles is a beautiful African American woman. That was my complement. The (angry sounding individual) down below has the problem not me. It's all good. Peace.

  • pebbles and sherrell are cousins

  • One of the things I love about old school is that years after the release of the album, you still know the words verbatim. I wonder how many lyrics we'll remember from this crap they pass off as music today.

  • AMEN!

  • Pebs was my girl! She's still very beautiful.

  • There is a resemblance between Her and beyonce. She is a very beautiful and she wears her real hair.

  • Pebbles looks way better than Beyonce'. Pebbles wore her ''real'' hair. She had a ladylike,classy,sexy image about her. She was not the best singer but Babyface and L.A. Reid new how to produce hits for her. Back in 1987-1990 period it was Pebbles,Jody,Janet,Karyn,Vanes­sa,Cherrelle,Paula,Lisa Lisa,and Sheena Easton (during her r&b days) with Babyface & L.A. Reid and Prince.

  • I really wouldnt even put Beyonce in the same ranks. Mercedes was independant before they song.

  • Beyonce COULDN'T AND WILL NEVER equal the class that PEBBLES HAS.

  • Beyonce's dance routines are borderline nasty she's always in something short swing-in her hips our squatting down to the ground... Peebles was way to classy for that

  • @DEEDUBB1979 who cares if she wore her real hair. lol what is she latina or bi-racial? i don't really know.

  • FarahMalika83 Pebbles is a  B E A U T I F U L African American woman with no plastic surgery,no botox,no fake hair. Just naturally beautiful. Pebbles and Vanessa Wiliams came out about the same time between 1987 & 1988. They are both just beautiful.

  • chicks like her and Vanessa Williams aren't really african-american and you know that. dark chicks hate chicks that look like Pebbles for obvious reasons-LOL

  • @tubucoco....... you sound like you have issues with different shades of African American people.Get over it. Your comment is nothing but a myth. Bye bye now.

  • I have no issues at all with shades of color like you suggested, and I could care less. I am just stating the truth about how dark black people view chicks like her and Vanessa Williams, and you know I am telling the truth. For you to say they are african-american when they look the way they are because of race mixing is a bunch of BS. So you need to Wake Up, and check yourself. Bye now yourself.

  • @tubucoco.....it's become very apparent that you have an issue with that because you brought up the dark skinned black people topic. Society views these women as African American. That's the way i view them also. Get over it. Enough said. Bye Bye now.

  • I pointed out that dark black women don't view them as african-american, and you wanna tell me that is not true, whatever. You are in denial. peace

  • Sorry..far from denial. I'm only speaking the truth. I have dark skinned reatives and they told me the same thing telling you. My relatives don't have these color issues that your friends or sources have. Once you have black in you,you are black. I know my Black history. Not sure about you. Case closed. Bye bye now.

  • Then I would say your black relatives are full of shit, a lot of Dark black people go around with a chip on their shoulders because of skin color, which has always bothered me. It is sad that they have let the White man get into their heads so far that they can't be proud of who they are. All that genocide killing shit in Africa(Rawanda) a while back was because of a dark tribe being jealous of a lighterskinned tribe. Utterly senseless.

  • @tubucoco ......Bye Bye now.

  • So I would say no, you don't know your Black history. Lighter skin people do have Black in them, I never said that, but they also have other Bloodlines in them as well. To ignore that is dumb, In this country people like Pebbles and Tiger Woods are viewed mostly as being Black, but if you think Dark Black people see them as that you are dumb. Dark Black people always go out of their way to insult you because of your mixture, truly pathetic IMO.

  • @tubucoco...Bye Bye now.

  • yeah, child, it is best you move on now since you have no idea what you are talking about. peace

  • @tubucoco...........Bye Bye now. You are finally dismissed.

  • child please, and you sound like a broken record, move your cluelss ass on.

  • @tubucoco.......Bye Bye now. Toot-a-loo.

    LMAO.

  • @DEEDUBB1979 ..Pebbles also ripped off TLC ,very badly,w/ a HORRIBLE contract....TLC sold millions of records and each got $50,000..... selling over 17 million units of albums/CD's

    Pebbles sexi hell yeah

    Pebbles downright ruthless,gets a hell yeah also.....

  • @Miscreant435......You are correct and Pebbles sold TLC's clothes after they wore them at photo shoots and concert dates. Just plain 'ol ruthless.

  • @DEEDUBB1979 everyone wore weave

  • @DEEDUBB1979 You couldn't have said it better.

  • haha, i love this song, my parents say this is my song since my name is mercedes

  • You are one of my favorite singer. I love you !!! From France.

  • they could have got a better dancer.. LOL

  • you are right damitjo1...boy can't dance..

  • Blame it on the choreographer.

  • ctfu@doing the same mess! hahahahah

  • love this song

    she should bring another album out and try to bet mariah carey after all shes naterly good looking uplike mariah hew had a lot of plastic surgery now.

  • great job!

  • This girl was hot as hell, The singing didn't equal her looks...

  • For a second, she looked kind of like Beyonce. For a second! Of course that remark would be insulting to the great Pebbles! "We love you Pebbles!"

  • What is Wrong with you people BEYONCE LOOKS LIKE PEBBLES LOL, are you guys BLIND??? She could be her dang Daughter, have any of you SEEN ASHELY, she looks like Beyonce with Black hair LOL.

  • Thank god for video editing. She's hot, but she "gets smoked" by both Jody Watley and Paula Abdula when it comes to video/stage presence, for this genre :-) Great song, though! Let me try the LIVE version...

  • They played this one at our '80s Night! :D One of my FAVORITES!!

  • shes the bomb !!!

  • man I wanna groove...

  • The remix totally rocks, it's as awesome as the first version.

  • love this song/version great video and isnt she georgeous

  • I agree with you all!R.I.P.DANCER/MODEl RUDY HOUSTOn,WAS RIDINg IN THe MERCEDES,BEAUTY.

  • "I wanna ride and be your lover. So drop the top and let's get together, Ooh Yeah!!!!"

    ~from I Wanna Ride, The reply to Mercedes Boy by Maniquin

  • her and cherrlle are Cuzzens!!

  • You'll be surprised. A lot of black men look like this. Some are even white, but identify with being black, because of someone black in their family tree.

  • LOL. They are fine for sure. We need to get our El Debarge posters back out.

  • This was a cool era of pretty people. She and Vanessa Williams were compared often and then Mariah when she came out the next year. With the men it was Chris Williams and Al B. Sure.

  • Chris & Al are cousins

  • I've heard that before. Must be something b/c they are both so gorgeous. Men don't look like that anymore unless ur in Latin America or Europe or the Carribean.

  • They are not cousins. I heard both Chris and Al B. say this on Al B.'s radio show. They were actually laughing about how people still think it's true.

  • Pebbles was that deal in the 80's! Man I played this video to death.. Memories, memories.. this was 88 I was 18.. loved the ole school days! Wish I could bring those days back.. real jams! Go Pebbs :-)

  • You got that right Ius70. The old school 80's music is the shhhh. I was 17 when this was out...man those were the days. I'll never forget 'em. Rock on Pebbles...you go girl.

  • She copied Vanity's style, but had a much better singing voice than V.lol

  • WOW I can't believe you just said that? Don't get me wrong, for some odd reason I liked Vanity/Nasty girl; I wanted her to marry PRINCE LOL. But Pebbles was NOTHING LIKE VANTIY dude. Just cuz they're were beautiful don't mean they're the same. Except for now, they're both ministers.

  • Pebbles is nothing more than a stuckup, lil classier version of Vanity with a slightly better singing voice. you can believe what you wanna believe, but I know members of the Deele and what they told me LA was shooting for when he created her, and btw she was married to LA at one time.

  • Wow, big-ass 80s hair! Gotta love it!!

  • Pebbles is really very beautiful, no denying that. I don't see many female artist today with this kind of class. She's actually dressed up throughout the whole video. She doesn't look ghetto. What happened to this approach?

  • @88keys33 The only one I can put in her class is no longer with us "AALIYAH"

  • @MsFIRSTLADY35

    Yeah, babygirl was more sexier though (IMO), was in a class of her own and had the "it" factor. I mean Pebbles was alright, but she really didn't appeal to me that much the way Aaliyah did, just saying.

  • @MrJuly1990ish AND YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. I LOVE AALIYAH TO DEATH. BETTER THAN ANY OF THE FEMALE ARTIST THAT'S OUT TODAY. IT WAS JUST A MYSTERY ABOUT HER. THE WAY SHE CARRIED HERSELF. SHE WAS VERY ANGELIC IN REAL LIFE!

  • @88keys33 These you have to be almost naked ( Beyonce, Rihanna andd others) to show you got it, nothing left to the immagination.

  • Pebbles, I would Drive that Mercedes like No other, I'm talkin beat the Brakes off it.

  • LOL! You are crazy!

  • I always prefered this extended version of this song. I remember back in the day when I bought her album the original 'Mercedes Boy' sounds different.

  • I was in love with this song as a little girl. and still love this song.

  • March 13th 1988 was when this song was released. This will makes it 20 years on March 13th 2008. This particular version of this song was played on NYC 98.7 KISS FM.. Hot 97 played the cut (bad version) and Z100 played the club version. The only other song that had 3 different versions played like this was FINALLY by CeCe Penniston. Mecedes remains my most popular song to date.

  • This is the "Electro" version of this song. This song would have never been my favorite song if it wasn't for this version.

  • Thank you for this comment.I grew up in queens ny and now live in fla. I always wondered why the version i hear nowadays sounds nothing nothing like the version i grew up with.This is the version they used to rock on the radio in ny back in the day and i missed it until now.peace.

  • The radio cut version allows them to play more artists and commercials.

  • in reply to koyalee77, "Love Makes Things Happen" was a duet with Babyface....."Always" was a duet with Cherrelle.

  • very pretty lady

  • She's like the beyonce of the 80's and early 90's, very very pretty. I loved nearly all of her songs, especially "Love Makes Things Happen" which I believe is a duet with Cherelle? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

  • It was a duet with Babyface

  • Then what was the song she did with Cherelle? I know she did one.

  • I do remember Cherelle singing vocals on "Always" along with Johnny Gill if i'm not mistaken. But yeah, Love Makes Things Happen was with Babyface.

  • Please keep this up, man....It is the bomb...Like dude said, I was a lil' boy tryin' to be grown and lust after Pebbles...The 'Classy Appollonia'...

  • I was a lil boy wishing I was grown. Damn she's fine!

  • omg they were doing the rebok lol

  • I remember this version!

  • she was my first love,r&b wise.

  • love it love it love it

  • awesome work man, love this mix

  • I like & appreciate what you've done...keep the video on ...please...

    Pebbles fan

  • Your production is fine, but your title is misleading, something I always find annoying in YT videos. Why call it 12" if it's not, unless you're trying to be misleading? Otherwise, it's fine.
