OH MY! I LOVE THIS SONG! Listening to this song I feel soo nostalgic. I think of back in the day to a much simpler time in my life. I also really love how this song sounds just like the record! Song isnt for sale on Itunes:(
I remember hearing this song for the first time and how much i fell in love with the lyrics melody and harmony the ad lib I mean everything I just love this song !!!!
Don't recall ever hearing this song as a youngster. My all-time favorite song by Skyy is "Call Me". I'm posting this to my Facebook group, "LOVER'S ROCK" . Just started it to encourage getting back to love, family and good music. There's too much garbage out here skewing our minds and the babies' minds nowadays. Let's get back to GOOD MUSIC!
WHOA! if only artist of today could sing like this i swear i'd stop getting bootleg copies of their albums only real albums i actually buy are those from the old school 50s,60s,70s,80s,90s after 04 music went down the drain..LOVE THIS SONG I LOVE DENISE MUCH LOVE TO HER AND THE LADIES OF SKYY
Other than pics i have never seen this group . great post. ive always wanted to see who sang this song. great voice. me and some of the homies talk about this song all the time..and im not just sayin that..i would love to cover this song in some way.
when this song came out i was in clovis new mexico in the eairly 80's this song was the base favorite at cannon afb...being from dothan al, i didnt think they got down like that...!!!...LOSS N THA 80,S....A.RICH.
I have been in the military for 14 years now and when I was stationed in Bahrain(Middle East) they played this song at the club and it wasnt a person sitting. This is the type of song you can put on and dont say a word and let the lyrics do everything for you and its something about the lead singer voice that sends chills down my spine. THIS IS MUSIC. REAL TALENT
This was one of my favs cause men are so dam afraid of real love... "but If he believes in what he's feeling and he wants to make love to me...." OMG.. i love this song. what year did they do this.. is the at the Apollo?
I heard this song on satellite radio and it made me think of the love of my life. The lyrics are so profound and meaningful. This song sends gives me goose bumps. She sings with such conviction and emotion.
Wow! I'd be hard pressed to find a live performance that matches the studio version like this one...background singers...Solomon's spoken word performance...and ESPECIALLY Denise! Chills...
I remember this song back in the 80s 90s man Denise and the lead singer of SOS band Teena Marie RIP and Patti Labelleare my favorite female singers of all time.
My husband thinks her voice is so sexy. I have this song as his personal ringtone. I agree with him. Her voice is so unique. Awesome song. I sing it in the shower
If R&B,Funk or dance bands can take advantage of today's technology, then they won't need record labels. All they have to do is do what these Hip "POP" acts r doing. Most of these acts have absolutely no talent but are very business savy, utilizing today's social network & tech to sell millions of ringtones etc. I'd support Soldier Boy and his stupid ass "lyrix" and music if he made up for it by playing a bad ass guitar. Everybody & their daddy wants to rap,give me break to something different.
The last REAL R&B bands were "Mint Condition" & "Toni, Tony, Tonie". Something is wrong with that! The labels figure they can get more money by having solo acts & by cutting the "act" to just 1 person,that way they can get more money. Yeah, it worked but hurt the overall quality of music. Anybody who says this generation of music is better than the previous ones are seriously disillusioned. R&B, Funk, and Dance BANDS need support through the advantages of today's technology so the come back.
The record labels and music industry in general have gotten rid of R&B and Funk "BANDS". It's absolutely disgusting, and it's obvious to see the BIG difference in the quality of music from when there were actual R&B and FUNK "BANDS" & now the over saturated bubble gum/garbage R&B/Hip "POP" SOLO acts. Not saying it's all bad but the good ones aren't supported & it's totally unbalanced. I will support any good band of musicians trying to create great art. I'm tired of these solo acts not artists.
Back when you didnt have to get naked to sell an album and the artists actually sounded like the recording...REAL MUSIC...I grew up listening to her and this song was one of the first I tried singing to get a feel for my range when I was a little girl!!! IM LOVIN THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!
Now when this song came out OMG I waz seriously in love then. Man this guy was a world. but he was also in the service and that made me really realize I was deeply in love. Thank you SKYY. Great song.
SHE IS SOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!! THANK U 4 THIS SONG!!!!......MY LIFE THESE DAYS IS SO FULL OF PAIN!!!...THIS SONE TAKES ME BACK WHEN LIFE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!...THANK U ONCE AGAIN AND GOD BLESS........
Man....I love this song so much..My mom and aunt use to play is album so much til I knew the words to it. It's her voice, that what it is. Nobody sing with that much heart and soul like she did even today. This is what I call real music.
this is a beautiful song.. i discovered this back in the early 90s when i was 12.. i'm 29 now and it's still one of my favorites! Denise's voice is just mesmerizing..
Thanks to all of our supporters from the bottom of our hearts! My sisters and I still perform as Ladies of SKYY, and we are keepin old school music alive! LOVE TO ALL OF YOU!!!
This song is dope and it speaks truth. I'm kinda in this situation right now with a lady I like she is kinda hesitant to talk to me cuz of her past relationship but i'm really a great guy i go to church I dont smoke,drink, I respect women... I just wish that she will trust me that i'm not like other guys
To finish my previous comment- I personally interacted with the female singers of Skyy a few years ago- they still perform as "The Ladies of Skyy" and they still sing LIVE and sound great. No competition or "1 upping" here- just clarifying!
@topherlins- only since you mentioned it- I'm a 45 year old "white dude" who has loved all kinds of Music all my life. I was quite hip to this song as well as the band Skyy since 1980 before they broke through big with "Call Me" in late '81. The artists you mentioned of the "New Jack" era in the late 80s- Keith Sweat/Guy- while definitely more embraced by the Black Audience, they transcended through to "White" Audiences as well. Also for the record, this song came out in '89.
Quick story. I am a 37 year old white dude and someone gave me this song on a mix tape in 1987 and I could never remember who sang it...until today. Looking back on this song I think that this song is one of the best in the era. The only better songs that i can think of are Goodbye Love-Guy and Right and a Wrong Way keith Sweat. I wonder how many white dudes like this song, I guess that makes me unique. No real point just saying is all.
Her voice was unique...she sang notes that only belonged to her, you knew her voice without question..i would rewind my cassette to hear say(Open, open open, you heart)
this is one of my favorite songs of all time dang i miss the oldies ,this is real music it doesn't get any much better than this,and she sounds so good live,i hope these so called r&b new preschoolers take lessons from this
damn they sound just as good live....sounds like the albulm too. damn this is good. btw, this is my favorite song in the whole world....i put so many ppl on to this song as of today
GOD...I miss Showtime At The Apollo!...That was a sho-nuff way to find out if the hottest groups of the day could actually sing.. Aint no faking with that audience....Skyy was even better live that on recordings...The showed, proved, possessed, shared true talent..
This group is amazing and so is this song.. i'm only 20 years old but i do appreciate music like this, not this music today! This is when love songs actually meant LOVE INSTEAD OF STRAIGHT SEX!!!! Let's get this music back asap please!!!!! <333
@lasbeaver You are welcome Lasbeaver. That's actually her (skyyhigh2) that's right below your post. You can go to their youtube channel and and send her a messege. Denise is soooo cool. As soon as she get the time, she will email you right back. She would be happy to hear from you. I love her voice and I love them too. We don't have family groups like this anymore. Thanks again.
Thanks so much sweetie for Keeping Old School Music ALIVE!!! We are still doing our thing...Check us out by typing Ladies of SKYY. We are STILL standin'!! Love to all of you who have supportedour music over the years!!! Denise
@skyyhigh2 (You're welcome Denise. We love you guys. I hope you see it and feel the love in all the comments. I sent Mo'Nique an email awhile back asking her to find you guys and have you on her show. She had SOS Band, and she needs you guys. I have the "Start of Romance" performance from Apollo. I will upload it soon (with your persmission)
@skyyhigh2 my mom played this for my stepdad when they we're dating i was about 11 didnt understand it then but i do know.. your vocals was apart of a very special break threw for them during a turbulent time.. Love you for this..
@skyyhigh2 is this really you Denise? Wow! Crazy! Can I just tell you I love your voice and I've been listening to this song nonstop for 3 days now trying to sing it exactly the way you do and having so much fun with it! It's so cool that you are on here and I could st tell you how I feel *cause I'm not afraid of the way I feel* :P beautiful song. god bless.
@skyyhigh2 i love this song am going to ask my girlfriend to marry me on this song in a few weeks cause she love this song to and am glad y'all still around keeping old school music around cause it gone and am 26 what is my kids going too look forward to this rap bs i like rap but it not meaningful love you ladies
@skyyhigh2 hello denise,hope all is well with you and your sisters.my name is gene,i'm a new york base photographer,and had the pleasure of photographing the fabulous ladies of skyy at harlem summerstage in 2007 for the guiness world record largest skyyzoo band attempt,had a great time there seeing your performance...have some great pictures of you guys and would like to send them to you or your production co. hope you get this message(posted 1-22-11)my email jpm231@msn.com
This album was and is the bomb and this song proved Skyy to be a leader in the "slow jam" fest that was taking place at that time. Have you ever been eating a can of snack nuts and you get to the bottom and all that salt and flavor is just calling your name for more? That's what this lady's voice is like, so rich and excellent!!!!
the whole cd is nice and this is thier best song i wish they would have been around longer but no there is no more big groups especially with the lead singer is a female mabe if you talking about the yeah yeah yeahs.. but other than than ...ditttooh yeah...sade(sweatback)-says uzipolo king of decatur
I saw Skyy do this song on Soul Train around '90 or '91. The lead singer "NeeCee" really hit me with The Thunderbolt that show. It's forever in the bank. I think Monica took a cue from her.
after all these years since the first time i heard this song it still sends shivvers up and down my spiine the most beautiful song in the world .noke cleve,oh
Yep. They are still around. Denise (the lead singer) comes here and read the comments. Go to my video "Start of Romance" by them. Read some of the comments. She replies there often. You send her an email from there and she always reply. They are sooo nice (she and her sisters). Take care.
@usaearthling Hi! Yes..we are still performing..type in Ladies of Skyy on You Tube and you will see some of our more recent performances. I will be posting even more live footage soon! Love to all of our fans..drop me a line and I will try to see if we can come and perform in YOUR town! luv ya - Denise
Alright for the posting from Showtime At The Apollo... I used to wait for that show to come on every week because the always had the hottest artists..and they usually sang for real.....Not all this background and voice-over crap ya get now-a-days..
They are still around. Go to their video "Start of Romance" that I have posted. Deniese, the lead singer post on the comments. She reads them and will reply back to them. She's really nice. I think it's just she and the sisters that perform now as Ladies of Skyy. thanks for watching.
I loooove this song...even twenty-some years later. But Solomon's "rap" it these songs crack me up. Thank you iasaac Hayes to thank for adding those to black music (R.I.P Ike). Great song. My second favorite next to When You Touch Me. Are these guys still performing?
Oh, listening to music like this makes me want to jump into a time machine and just go back to 1989. When they was making good music with body and soul.
You're only 16 you're a baby! I know you LOVE the song... I do too! But, stay a baby, because it is only when 16 year olds "wanna do things" that they ought not to that they slip up and create a "baby." :-)
This is my first time to see SKYY live (too many good things did not come to France), and It is a real pleasure to me to hear and see Denise with her fabulous voice. This is one of my favorite slow song ever.
I agree with you. She actually sounds better than the recording to me. She puts all of her heart in this song. I feel that's missing in todays music. I love Denise. I wish Skyy, SOS Band, Atlantic Star (with Sharon) and Midnight STar would tour.
Teenage foreplay low music in the background, not to loud waking up the folks, barry white voice on falling asleep saying "you hang up"... "No you hang up" beautiful 80's
I have always loved this song. Every now and then I hear it on the radio. I'd love to see them perform. I love all 80's music. I can listen to them all day every day.
I sing all 80's music at work and they call me an old head. I don't care. That's just what I feel in my musical heart. lol
when this song came out I was only a baby but I heard this song almost everday, my sister played it all the time and know I'am 28 and still listen to music from back in the days.
I do not know whats going on with the younger folks now days, Most of the stuff thats out now lack heart and talent. So many studio only voices ! Its all about getting paid !
Thank God He allowed me to live during this time . . . why should I be so lucky? Denise, you
had me way back then and my nose ain;t closed yet . . . lol

This album was and is the bomb and this song proved Skyy to be a leader in the "slow jam" fest that was taking place at that time. Have you ever been eating a can of snack nuts and you get to the bottom and all that salt and flavor is just calling your name for more? That's what this lady's voice is like, so rich and excellent!!!!

I saw Skyy do this song on Soul Train around '90 or '91. The lead singer "NeeCee" really hit me with The Thunderbolt that show. It's forever in the bank. I think Monica took a cue from her.

Yep. They are still around. Denise (the lead singer) comes here and read the comments. Go to my video "Start of Romance" by them. Read some of the comments. She replies there often. You send her an email from there and she always reply. They are sooo nice (she and her sisters). Take care.
